"The Zheng family?" Zheng Dan smiled self-deprecatingly. "I am nothing more than a pawn in the marriage alliance between the two families. They need to use my relationship to get close to the Sang family. As for whether my husband is tall or short, fat or thin, or even alive or dead, they don't care. What they are most worried about is that Sang Qian will die before he can marry me."
"Like those classmates who just gave me gifts, they all said eloquent things, but who knows what they were really thinking, mocking and pitying me."
Seeing her dejected expression, Zu An felt a surge of warmth in his heart and blurted out, "Why don't you not get married? I'll take you away."
Zheng Dan looked at him with some surprise, her eyes softening: "What, have you developed feelings for me?"
Zu An frowned: "You don't need to deliberately say such things to belittle yourself. I don't believe you have no feelings in your heart."
Zheng Dan blushed slightly: "No matter what, your intention is not in vain for my all-out efforts during this period... However, I grew up in the Zheng family and enjoyed the fine clothes, food, and various cultivation resources of the Zheng family. I can't do such a thing as running away when it's time to give back."
Zuan hesitated, as the two had discussed this issue many times before, and knew that saying more would be pointless.
Zheng Dan held his hand, her face full of smiles: "I'm getting married, can you give me a gift as a keepsake?"
Zuan looked annoyed: "I wouldn't be so kind as to send a gift if you married another man."
“No, I’m sure you’ll be willing to give me this gift,” Zheng Dan noticed that the two of them had reached the vicinity of the dormitory, so she tiptoed and whispered in his ear, “Give me a child.”
Zuan's heart pounded wildly, and he could no longer hold back, so he pulled her into the room.
Perhaps thinking that this might be the last time, or perhaps thinking that there was no future, the two were more engaged than ever before, and remained locked in a passionate embrace in the room.
...
At this time, in the Sang family residence, Sang Hong was receiving a man in a blue robe in his study. The man respectfully asked, "How is the young master?"
"Whether he can survive this ordeal depends on his fate." Sang Hong looked much older than before.
The man in the blue robe said, "Young master, you are blessed by the heavens and will surely be safe and sound."
Sang Hong was clearly numb to such polite words and waved his hand impatiently: "I called you here today to discuss the Chu family's affairs. Qin Wanru has somehow obtained a batch of legitimate salt permits, so I can only temporarily detain Chu Zhongtian. But it won't last more than a few days, so you must take control of the Chu family before then."
The man in the blue robe said in a deep voice, "This is not easy."
“That’s your problem,” Sang Hong sneered. “You’ve been planning this for so many years, I don’t believe you haven’t made any preparations. Don’t worry, I’ll provide whatever help you need. This is the best and last chance; once you miss it, it’ll be gone forever.”
The man in the blue robe's expression shifted between light and dark. After a long silence, he made up his mind and uttered a single word: "Fine!"

I have something to do today, so this is the only update. I'll make up for it tomorrow.
