Chapter 1305 Can't I even have the Empress stay with me for a little while?
“If he were to fall for another woman, I could arrange the marriage with great fanfare, either by the emperor or a concubine, or at the very least by asking His Majesty to grant the marriage. But in Fengdu City, which family would dare to force Su Yueyao to marry him?”
Hearing Mr. Wen's resentful tone, Mother Wen chuckled lightly: "It's a bit difficult to deal with Lady Su, but we should also do our part for Chi'er. We can't just watch him go to war, can we?"
“It’s not so bad that he’s being sent to the army. Who will take care of the affairs of this household, your Ministry of Personnel, and the affairs of our other children? I’m telling you, Chi’er is the most ambitious and hardworking child in our household. Now that he’s interested, we should do our best to help him.”
When Wen's father heard what his wife said, he sighed. He had planned to retire after finishing his work this year. Before he went to war, she had found several women for him to choose from and marry off. She would then hand over all the affairs of the family to him.
He could then spend his days being intimate with his wife and enjoying leisure time.
Who knew that this thing would directly choose Su Yueyao, the hardest woman to marry in Fengdu.
If only I hadn't let him travel back then. I should have sent him in when Su Yueyao first arrived in Fengdu. Sigh... it was a complete miscalculation. Who knew that someone who came from a small county town would have such great abilities and be so popular with young masters from aristocratic families.
"Alright, stop sighing. Let's call the others tonight and discuss how to help Chi'er successfully marry into the Su family."
"Should we use force or bribery? We'll give you gold leaf, power, anything, just to get Su Yueyao to marry him?"
"Gold and power, she has everything now. The Pei family boy she married is richer than a country. Can you even count the dowry money of the other grooms?"
"Speaking of power, even the Empress wants to relinquish power to her. Is she even slightly tempted? The Zheng and Xiao families, both with centuries of history, were ruined by them not long ago!"
"And then there's the Li family, who's about to be in trouble. Our youngest son is engaged to the second branch of the Li family, and we don't know if that will have any impact."
After speaking, Wen's mother glanced at Wen's father. The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, Wen's mother thought of something and asked, "I remember our family has some connection with the Cui family. Why don't we go and ask the Cui family to put in a good word for us?"
"The Cui family relationship that my wife mentioned refers to the son of your great-aunt's eldest maternal aunt's daughter's nephew who married into the third branch of the Cui family at the time..."
"Stop, stop...don't say anymore. This relationship gives me a headache. Why didn't my mother marry a son from the Cui, Huan, or Xun families? If she had, we wouldn't be in such a passive position," Mother Wen said regretfully.
“The late emperor always suppressed marriage alliances among aristocratic families, fearing that we would band together against her. Our parents and grandparents all chose their wives and husbands from small families in the lower prefectures. How could they possibly have close kinship with the prominent families of Fengdu?”
"His Majesty did not intervene too much, so the various aristocratic families in Fengdu gradually started to visit each other and get engaged. It has only been in these few decades that the aristocratic families in Fengdu have slowly restored some of their relationships."
"Our Wen family has always had few bloodlines, so the prerequisite for us to form marriage alliances with other families is to have a son of suitable age."
"The relationship I just mentioned was obtained from the oldest person in the manor."
"Let Chi'er handle this himself! I can't interfere, I can't interfere! Let's not talk about his business anymore. What are you planning to cook for me tonight?" Mother Wen said with a smile, abandoning her worries and changing the subject.
Upon hearing this, Wen's father immediately forgot about Wenren Qichi and smiled as he helped his wife up, saying, "Wife, let's go to the kitchen and see what delicious dishes they've sent over. We'll cook them for you."
"Okay... let's go quickly then..."
. . . . . . . . . . .
Xuanming Temple, Wenren Qichi's room.
Moved by Wenren Qichi's pitiful words, Su Yueyao softened her tone and said gently, "Minister Wenren, I... as a woman, staying in your room all this time wouldn't be good for your reputation, I..."
"My lady, my reputation is already bad, I don't care about anything, and everyone here is your person, no one will spread rumors. My lady, please take pity on me and stay with me for a while, okay?"
Su Yueyao looked at Wenren Qichi, who was about to be abandoned, and was about to nod.
Cheng Yan, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back: "Young Master Wenren, you are an unmarried man, how dare you ask a woman to stay in your bedroom! Where is your manners! Where is your shame! Where is your face!"
“Young Master Cheng is right. I have no manners, no shame, no face. Can’t I even have the Lady stay with me for a while? It’s my fault for making Young Master Cheng angry.”
"Miss Su, don't worry about me. You should go back and rest. Don't let Master Cheng get sick from anger."
At first, Su Yueyao felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, but the more she listened, the more she felt there was something...
Cheng Yan was getting impatient with Wenren Qichi's shameless remarks: "Wenren Qichi, you... be normal for once. You were able to jump off a cliff barehanded and save Feng Qi and Xing Wu. Your martial arts skills are almost on par with mine. The way you're acting now is just like... like..."
Cheng Yan was so angry she couldn't speak, pointing at him...
Su Yueyao looked at the two of them and her mind immediately cleared. Was Wenren Qichi playing the role of a scheming woman or a naive girl?
Just then, Xingchen walked in. He was about to say something when Chengyao stopped him and whispered in his ear, "Young Master Xing, don't speak. There's a good show to watch. This Young Master Wenren is no ordinary person! Chengyan is so angry she's jumping up and down."
Xingchen raised an eyebrow, looking at Wenren Qichi, who was looking down with a wronged expression, and Cheng Yan, who was about to jump over the wall. It was indeed a good show.
Cheng Yan couldn't find the words to describe Wenren Qichi, so she immediately looked at Su Yueyao.
“My lady… he… he’s doing this on purpose… he’s just pretending to be pitiful. Don’t believe him. Let’s go back. He hasn’t even entered the door yet, and he’s already trying to trick you.”
"My lady, I didn't mean anything by it... I just wanted you to stay with me a little longer... If you don't want to stay with me, I have no objection. My lord, I didn't mean anything by it. You've misunderstood me."
"I misunderstood you, and you're still acting like this. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was bullying you," Cheng Yan said with a cold snort.
"I didn't, I really didn't."
"My lady...you be the judge, he did it on purpose."
Su Yueyao watched the two arguing and was speechless. What right did she have to reason with them? How could she possibly reason with them? She glanced at the hem of Xingchen's dress out of the corner of her eye and immediately felt like she had seen a savior.
