"Master Gao... Today is the last day of the imperial examination. Someone in my family is still in the Imperial Examination Hall. My aunt is very busy and I'm afraid she won't have time to consider my marriage. Should we discuss this matter another day?"
To those who did not know the truth, Gao Qingnian was a sixth-rank official, while Fu Rongxin was just a concubine of a merchant family. Gao Qingnian wanted to take Fu Rongxin as his concubine. This marriage was not only not a delusion, but was even a good match.
Moreover, Gao Qingnian had obtained the approval of the Linzhou Fu family and the government documents with his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. There was nothing wrong with him proposing marriage at this moment. As relatives, the Xue family had no right to stop this matter without the permission of the Fu family.
But Fu Ling was so angry that he wanted someone to beat to death this toad who wanted to eat swan flesh!
But since it was neither right nor justifiable, she could only force herself to hold back: "Master Gao, this is no small matter. My master has not yet left the court. Once he has inquired with the Fu family about this matter, he will definitely give you an answer."
Gao Qingnian smiled and bowed, "I apologize for being rude."
Glancing at Fu Rongxin, Gao Qingnian knew she was trying to stall for time, so he wouldn't let her have her way. "Miss Fu, I'm here today not only to propose marriage, but also to ask you a question. I admire you, but I wonder if you've shown any interest in me since we met at the Xue Residence that day? If so, I won't be afraid to wait."
At this moment, Fu Rongxin felt like her hands were itching to kill again. She thought to herself that this old beast actually wanted her to admit her affair with him in public. He didn't even realize what kind of person he was!
If she really admitted it, she would probably not be able to explain herself even if she had a mouth full of words.
But she didn't dare deny it. She was afraid that this beast would become desperate and tell her about the awful things he had done to her that day...
Fu Rongxin's face was pale, she bit her lip and said nothing. In the moment she was silent, Fu Ling also looked at her in a daze.
She didn't believe that her daughter would degenerate into such a thing, but Fu Rongxin's silence made her a little confused.
Seeing Fu Rongxin remained silent, Gao Qingnian laughed and said, "It seems that Miss Fu is really forgetful. That day, Miss Fu clearly said to Gao..."
Fu Rongxin felt her mind went blank and she almost fainted.
At this moment, a servant came hurriedly: "Madam, there is trouble outside."
