Chapter 743: At worst, we can welcome you as a concubine
Xing Xing thought to herself, I understand the process, I guarantee that this prefect’s wife will be satisfied!
Xing Xing smiled slightly, opened her mouth and began to praise Pang Jinkang from head to toe without any obstruction - she couldn't just come up and say, don't worry, I'm not interested in your son at all!
After the exaggeration, Xing Xing saw that the wife of the prefect was smiling brightly, and felt that this wave had come to fruition. If she now knew that she had no interest in Pang Jinkang in a tactful way, the guest would surely enjoy it, and she would not create any unnecessary trouble and let the wife of the prefect think that she looked down on Pang Jinkang.
Xing Xing smiled and said, "...Mr. Pang is such a talented person. When I return home, I will definitely urge my fiancé to improve himself and strive to make him as elegant as Mr. Pang as soon as possible."
Xingxing kept calling her fiancé, and she felt that she had made herself clear.
Sure enough, the prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo, looked extremely happy.
Xing Xing breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say goodbye when she heard the prefect's wife, Mrs. Luo, say with a smile, "Since Miss Feng admires my son so much, don't worry about your engagement. I will send someone to cancel it. You can stay by my son's side wholeheartedly in the future."
Xing Xing: “?”
Xing Xing reacted very quickly and said immediately, "Madam Magistrate, you are joking. My fiancé and I have been in love since childhood and have no other intentions."
Mrs. Luo frowned and asked Xingxing, "Do you mean you don't want to be with my son?"
Xingxing thought that it seemed that she had exaggerated in vain.
It was strange. Could it be that Mrs. Luo wanted to marry a merchant girl for her son? She didn't look like such an open-minded person. Xingxing hadn't realized yet that Mrs. Luo was planning to take her as a concubine.
It’s not Xingxing’s fault.
When Xingxing was in the capital before, several respected old ladies were asked to propose marriage to her. The Yu family fully respected Xingxing. If Xingxing liked someone, she could marry him. If she didn't like someone, she could be a lady in the Yu family for the rest of her life, and the Yu family was very willing to support her.
Therefore, those who came to propose marriage to Xing Xing were either dukes or princes, or direct descendants of wealthy and powerful families.
Xing Xing Rao is now playing Feng Yongyong and didn't react.
The other party was actually planning to snatch this engaged girl from a good family and make her a concubine for her son!
Xing Xing declined, saying, "I am just the daughter of a merchant. Mr. Pang has a bright future and I am not a good match for him."
A gleam of light flashed in the prefect's wife's eyes.
Could it be that this little girl was retreating in order to advance, knowing that her status was not high enough to be the official's wife, so she deliberately said this in order to make her accept the position of wife?
Mrs. Luo smiled meaningfully, "It doesn't matter. I will find another lady for Kang'er, and Miss Feng can rest assured. Status is not a problem, and the engagement is not a problem. When Miss Feng enters the mansion, she can just live a good life with Kang'er."
Xingxing finally understood!
The other party is planning to take her as a concubine!
Xing Xing suddenly raised her head, her eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and looked at Luo.
Mrs. Luo smiled at her.
Xing Xing smiled slowly.
Could it be that the wife of the prefect is planning to abduct women from the countryside and force them to become his concubines?
What a great official power.
Xing Xing lowered her eyes and this time she refused very bluntly: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam Zhizhou. But I have been accustomed to being wild since I was a child, and I cannot marry into a noble family. I can only refuse Madam."
Mrs. Luo slowly put away her smile. She looked at Xing Xing intently and uttered, "...Ms. Feng seems to be very ambitious. Do you despise being my son's concubine? Do you want to be his wife?"
Xing Xing smiled lightly: "Madam, you are too kind. I have never thought of him before, so how could I have such a delusion?"
Anger showed on Luo's face, and just as he was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open.
It was Pang Jinkang. He was standing outside, his face showing the usual awkwardness and tension he showed when facing Xing Xing.
——It was with such a face. Xingxing couldn’t imagine how he could be so shameless as to let his mother come to a girl who was already engaged and ask her to be his concubine!
There was a hint of coldness on Xingxing's face.
Pang Jinkang stammered, "Ms. Feng, don't worry, I will treat you well."
Xing Xing said, "Mr. Pang, I have never had any other thoughts about you from the beginning to the end. Whether you are good to me or not is not within my consideration."
Pang Jinkang's face turned pale, he was at a loss, and subconsciously looked at his mother.
Mrs. Luo suppressed her anger and said, "Miss Feng, you should think it over before you speak! My husband has a smooth career and will surely advance in the future. My son is his only son and his future is limitless. A concubine of an official is much more valuable than a wife of a merchant! ... At worst, we can welcome you as a concubine! That's fine, right?"
The tone of voice makes it sound like it is such a great gift!
Pang Jinkang also looked at Xing Xing with some pleading, hoping that she would agree.
Xing Xing's eyes were cold as she politely said goodbye: "Madam, there is no need to say more. I have made up my mind."
Mrs. Luo was so angry that she stared at Xingxing's face and several ideas of how to punish her flashed through her mind.
Suddenly, Luo's expression changed slightly and he took a breath of cool air.
——Just now for a moment, she actually felt that this merchant girl had a kind of inviolable feeling? !
Luo froze.
Xingxing, however, had already run out.
Pang Jinkang at the door subconsciously wanted to stop her.
Xing Xing didn't say anything, just looked at him with her clear eyes.
Pang Jinkang's body also froze, and he unconsciously stepped aside, making way for the door.
Xingxing stepped over the threshold and left like a gust of wind.
Pang Jinkang was distraught.
Luo glared at her son with a look of dismay: "Why did you just let her go like this?"
Pang Jinkang's face turned pale, and his eyes looked even redder: "Ms. Feng has spoken so directly... I can't, I can't keep pestering her..."
"Silly son." Luo came forward, tapped Pang Jinkang's forehead, and pouted, "Do you know the saying that a virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man? ... At first, I didn't agree to marry your father, but your father would pester me every day and told me that I was the only one in his life. I was also discussing marriage at that time, but your father still forced me to marry him? ... Look, your father and I have a good relationship now, aren't we?"
Pang Jinkang was somewhat confused by what Luo said: "But, but..."
"There are not so many buts!" Mrs. Luo interrupted Pang Jinkang and said, "Let me ask you, do you still want to be with that girl surnamed Feng?"
Pang Jinkang's pale face was slowly filled with blushes. He nodded tremblingly: "Yes, of course I do. I even dream about it!"
Luo smiled and said, "Then just wait. Mother will definitely help you and take that girl surnamed Feng into your family! It's just a little bit, you have to stand up for yourself, you can't just rely on me to do it all!"
