Chapter 118: The Stubborn
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?" Gu Changqing and Zhangsun Zhan came out.
Song Jie said: "Help me get a pet."
After saying that, he walked forward step by step.
Gu Zhangqing looked at Zhang Sunzhan again: "Why does the prince suddenly want to raise a pet? Aren't you the prince's pet? I have raised you till you are this old, and now you have lost your favor?"
Chang Sun Zhan drew out his sword, made a sword flower, and attacked Gu Changqing. Gu Changqing hurriedly used his fan to block it, but his neck was still cut with a thin bloody mark.
Gu Changqing covered his neck with his hands, his eyes filled with shock and fear of having survived a disaster.
"Are you serious?"
Chang Sun Zhan sneered: "Next time, be careful of your neck."
"Why are they fighting again?" Wu Lang looked at Song Yan and Li Yanzhao in confusion.
Song Yan whispered, "Chang Sun Zhan has been with my cousin since he was young. He is a spy arranged by the royal family to be with my cousin. He is not like a pet. You can't beat or scold him, you can't drive him away, and you have to provide him with food and drink."
Li Yanzhao sighed and said, "It's too complicated. I don't want to think about it. Where are we going next?"
Shiro:?
"The next step is of course to go down the mountain and sleep. Aren't you tired?"
Li Yanzhao said, "If you want to achieve something, you have to work ten or a thousand times harder than others. Why are you going to bed so early? I'm going to practice martial arts."
Shiro: “…”
Then go yourself?
Wulang thought to himself, I should go back to study.
Song Yan thought to himself, they work so hard, if I don’t work hard, wouldn’t that make me a loner?
Okay, let’s work tonight.
Li Jidao didn't sleep well after she went back. She dreamed that Aye kept appearing in her dream and smiled at her kindly.
But when she ran to talk to Aye, she couldn't say anything.
She was so anxious that daybreak came.
"Dress neatly. We are going to the Cheng'en Marquis's residence, not to a temple fair. Why are you so unceremonious?"
It was Lee Jung-soon's voice.
Feng Ying's tone was cold and angry: "Why should we go to the Cheng'en Marquis's house? We have no relationship with them, so why would they invite us to a banquet for no reason? Don't think I don't know that you and the old lady have sold out A Jian again. You want to arrange a marriage for A Jian."
"I will not agree to this marriage, let alone go."
"What do you mean by M marriage? What nonsense are you talking about? The young master is just in poor health, but he was normal before. He will be fine after he marries A Jian."
"That's just a surprise!" Feng Ying said, "Li Zhengchun, A Jian is your daughter after all. I understand that others don't feel sorry for her. I'll let it go. You are her biological father. You treat your daughter like this, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"What retribution? Being able to marry into the Cheng'en Marquis family is a great blessing. Otherwise, can you protect her for the rest of her life? Will she never marry again?"
Li Zhengchun added: "If I didn't see that Jian was better than before, I wouldn't dare to marry her."
"you……"
"Mother, mother... Seventeenth Mother is here." Wulang and Silang came in at this time, with Wang Duan following them.
Li Zhengchun didn't know Wang Duan at all and looked slightly stunned.
Feng Ying hurriedly welcomed Wang Duan to the flower hall and asked Yunniang to make sweet syrup and bring it to Wang Duan.
Wang Duan's face was slightly red, and she looked a little restrained, but her eyes were full of courage: "Wu Lang and I are good friends, so I won't be polite with you. I'll call you aunt."
Feng Ying said: "That's great, it's my blessing to have you call me aunt."
Li Jidao felt that Ah Ying's smile was no longer worth it because of her daughter-in-law.
[Be reserved, be reserved, don't scare your daughter-in-law away. ]
Feng Ying: “…”
"Shiqi Niang, why did you come here so early? Is there something wrong?"
For a prominent family like the Wang family, one must send an invitation in advance when visiting someone's home. It was impolite for Wang Duan to come uninvited.
Wu Lang was afraid that Wang Duan would be embarrassed, so he spoke for Wang Duan with an angry face: "Mother, Shiqi Niang heard something, saying that the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en wants to invite you and A Jian to visit her. You must not go. They want to marry A Jian to their youngest son who has died."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The child is alive and well, just sick." Li Zhengchun couldn't help but glare at Wu Lang.
Wang Duan shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, Wu Lang saved my life. I will not lie to you. The young master of the Gao family did fall into the moat and died a month ago. If you don't believe me, you can find out by asking around. This incident is very sensational."
Li Zhengchun's expression changed slightly and his eyes were confused, as if he really didn't know.
Then he angrily asked Wang Duan: "Who are you? Why should I believe you?"
Feng Ying sneered, "She is a daughter of the legitimate branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan."
Wang?
Taiyuan Wang family?
How many empresses has the Wang family of Taiyuan produced?
They are a small and insignificant family, so why would there be a young lady from the Wang family of Taiyuan in their family?
Li Zhengchun was surprised and happy. He just wanted Feng Ying to entertain Wang Duan well.
Wang Duan looked at Feng Ying and said, "To be honest, this matter was caused by me. There was a young lady in my fiancé Xiao's family who had a bad relationship with me. She wanted to play a trick on me but failed. She thought it was Wu Lang who saved me, so she took her anger out on Wu Lang."
"She was the one who facilitated this marriage. The young master of the Gao family has not been buried yet, and they have been looking for a girl with a suitable birth date to take away. I don't know how Xiao Wenniang got hold of Madam Jian's birth date and time. It would be a great blessing for the Gao family to find a suitable one, so the Gao family has already set their sights on Madam Jian."
"Don't go to Gao's house."
"This……"
Feng Ying looked at Li Zhengchun angrily: "Do you understand? Do you understand? What a lousy marriage, you think it's a blessing for our Ah Jian, take this blessing away quickly, why don't you give this blessing to your Sanniang?"
"I... that's not what my mother said." Li Zhengchun felt a little wronged: "My mother wouldn't lie to me, would she? The young master said he was just sick. If Chongxi can get better, our Jian will be a royal relative."
"Mr. Li, I would not lie to you." Wang Duan felt very uncomfortable. Li Zhengchun said this as if she was lying.
Li Zhengchun wanted to explain to Wang Duan, but suddenly he felt that Wang Duan’s identity was a bit troublesome.
Feng Ying first comforted Wang Duan, "Don't take it to heart, Seventeenth Lady. Auntie believes you. He is a heartbroken man who likes to sell out his family members to benefit others. Don't pay attention to him."
"How can you talk like that?" Li Zhengchun was furious. There were so many people here, including children from outsiders and the young lady from the Wang family. How could Feng Ying dare to say that to him?
Feng Ying was so angry that she picked up a teacup and smashed it hard on Li Zhengchun's face: "Go and dream about your Spring and Autumn period. If you like being a royal relative so much, just marry yourself."
Thinking of Wang Duan, Feng Ying instantly suppressed his anger and thought, I can only kill him secretly.
She said, "Please go away. I have guests here."
"But what about the Gao family?" Li Zhengchun was anxious: "We have already agreed to it. They are royal relatives. If we don't go, how will it end?"
