Feng Zhan's attentiveness made Qi Surong quite troubled. Marriage required the consent of her parents, and Feng Zhan might not be able to get it, but she couldn't continue to stay in Feng Zhan's house and let outsiders continue to misunderstand their relationship.
I still remember that when she disguised herself as Zhuo Fan not long ago, Feng Zhan asked her to calculate her marriage destiny. Based on her experience in the previous life, she gave the fate of "the infatuation cannot be left, and the life will be empty". Now that I think about it, could it be that the beauty he admires is himself? In his last life, when he returned from a foreign country, he was already Gu Jinyun's wife, and they had never had a chance to get close. Qi Surong couldn't believe that Feng Zhan would never marry just because of his ignorant childhood feelings
Originally, as long as his mother came forward, Feng Zhan couldn't force her to stay. But Feng Zhan didn't know what he said to his mother. After a few words, she ignored him and let her go. Qi Surong had no choice but to repair the book and go home, asking Qi's father to send someone to pick her up.
However, before she sent the letter, a noble person came from the other courtyard - Feng Zhan's biological mother, Feng Chenglu's wife, Feng Luoshi.
Feng Luoshi sat on the couch and quietly looked at Qi Surong on the bed, who had a graceful and noble demeanor.
With Ping'er's support, Qi Surong bowed and saluted her.
Feng Luoshi nodded and said in a cold voice: "I already know about the matter between you and Zhan'er. I am not here today to accuse you, but there are some things I must say to you."
"It's okay to say it, ma'am," Qi Surong said with eyes narrowed.
"You are also from an aristocratic family, so you should know that marriage must be a well-matched match. No matter how much you two fall in love, the Feng family will never welcome you in."
"Su Rong understands, Su Rong has never thought about marrying into the Feng family."
"Really?" Feng Luoshi said lightly, "You don't want to, but my son will not hesitate to go against his father for you. If this matter continues to be entangled, it will not be good for Feng Qi's family."
"What would Madam want Surong to do?"
"Zhan'er is my child, and I have always loved him. He really cares about you, and I can't bear to make him sad." Feng Luoshi said, "So I want to ask you what you mean, are you willing to be Zhan'er's concubine? "
Qi Surong said calmly: "Madam, although the Qi family is now in decline, as the daughter of the Qi family, she cannot disgrace the family tradition. Surong would rather marry a commoner than become a concubine of a noble."
Feng Luoshi said coldly: "Then what are your plans?"
"Madam, don't worry, Su Rong and the title of Young Master are absolutely impossible."
"In this case, there may be something wrong with you staying here."
"What Madam said is true, but Mr. Feng is worried about Su Rong's condition and refuses to let Su Rong leave. He also asked Madam for help in this matter."
Feng Luoshi stared at her for a moment and said: "You are a sensible person. But I know Zhan'er's temper very well. Even if I send you back today, he will not give up on you. You don't want to be Zhan'er Even Zhan'er, your concubine, can't marry you, one of you must make the choice first."
"What is the choice Madam is talking about?"
"You are very smart. If it weren't for the Qi family, with your background and character, you and Zhan'er are indeed a match made in heaven. Unfortunately, the world is constantly changing and your fate is too shallow." Feng Luoshi said slowly, "You don't want to be Zhan'er's concubine. Waiter, then I will stop thinking about him as soon as possible and get him married as soon as possible."
Qi Surong asked: "With Master Feng's fierceness, will he accept your arrangement?"
"I can't tolerate his objection." Feng Luoshi said forcefully, "I will ask the emperor for a decree to grant marriage, and he will have to agree even if he doesn't agree."
Qi Surong thought for a while and said: "Madam, with all due respect, if you ask for a decree to grant marriage, I'm afraid there will be no room for change. If Mr. Feng can accept it, everyone will be happy, but if he resolutely refuses, Madam wants to Are you going to see him resisting and disobeying the order, or should you just let him go?"
Feng Luoshi frowned.
"Madam, Su Rong hopes that you will not ask for an edict and at least leave a way out for Mr. Feng." Qi Su Rong said seriously, "Madam just said that one of me and Mr. Feng must make a choice first. If Mr. Feng doesn't want to choose, then Why not let Su Rong choose?"
Feng Luoshi was a little surprised and asked: "How do you want to choose?"
"As long as Su Rong marries someone else, Master Feng will give up on Su Rong."
"Are you willing?" Feng Luoshi paused and said, "Do you know that with your current status, it is impossible to marry into a famous family, and ordinary officials will probably not accept you."
"Surong is just an ordinary girl, so she should naturally be married to the Ping family." Qi Surong lowered his eyes, covering up the light in his eyes.
"You...are actually willing to marry a commoner?" Feng Luoshi was really surprised this time. He had heard that Qi Surong was arrogant, how could he be willing to devote himself to ordinary people? Is she really willing to make this sacrifice for Zhan'er
"For Su Rong, there is no difference between civilians and nobles." Qi Su Rong said sincerely.
Feng Luoshi didn't believe it. She thought for a while and said: "You don't have to be so aggrieved. You can leave this matter to me. Although I can't find you a noble son, I can at least ask someone to tell you. Not a bad wedding.”
"Madam, Su Rong has her own plans for the selection. If you are willing, why not be a matchmaker for Su Rong?"
In the afternoon of that day, Feng Luoshi took the initiative and sent Qi Surong home. When Feng Zhan came back, the other courtyard was empty. Although he was upset, he did not dare to question his mother. He just visited the Qi family every day and sent some precious medicinal materials from time to time, but the Qi family sent these medicinal materials back intact.
Feng Zhan felt uneasy, guessing that his mother must have said something to Su Rong that day. The Qi family refused to let him see Su Rong, so he had to write a letter to ask.
Qi Surong was leaning on the bed reading a letter when a hand suddenly took her letter away.
She turned around and saw Gu Jinyun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He read the letter, then crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve without saying a word.
"You..." Before he could finish his words, he was kissed by Gu Jinyun.
"You are my woman." His face was stern, and he held Qi Surong tightly in his arms, his tone unquestionably domineering.
Qi Surong hugged him back and said with a smile, "You are jealous."
"Of course I will be jealous!" Gu Jinyun said coldly, "He actually claimed that you were his fiancée! Do you know what I was thinking at the time?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"I want to take you away from him immediately and do it to you directly."
What should be done or not... Qi Surong's face turned red and asked: "Then why didn't you do this?"
"I'm afraid it will affect your recuperation, and I'm afraid it will attract criticism from you." In that situation, if another man appeared to compete for Su Rong, I don't know how outsiders would view her.
Qi Surong smiled and nestled in his arms contentedly.
"He doesn't give up on you. I don't know how long I can bear it." He once sneaked into another courtyard secretly, and when he saw Feng Zhan's meticulous care and affectionate behavior towards Su Rong, he felt a fire rising in his heart.
"You don't have to bear it anymore." Qi Surong looked up at him, eyes full of smiles.
Gu Jinyun had a questioning look on his face
Qi Surong withdrew from his embrace and said seriously: "Master Gu, is the two-year period agreed between the Qi family and the Gu family coming soon?"
"Only two months left." Gu Jinyun's eyes were burning.
"After two months, are you willing to fulfill your promise and marry the daughter of the Qi family?"
"Of course, I will never break my promise."
Qi Surong smiled extremely beautifully, held his hand, and said gently: "In two months, Qi Surong will be Gu Jinyun's wife."
Gu Jinyun hugged her tightly, his eyes filled with joy.
"Jinyun, I kept you waiting for a long time." Qi Surong leaned on his chest and whispered softly.
I had been hesitant before because I was worried about causing trouble to the Gu family. Now that the threat of the secret decree is no longer there, Madam Feng is there to act as a matchmaker for them. Qi Surong believed that from now on, no one could stop them from being together.
Almost everyone knows about Feng Zhan's "relationship" with her. Whether she is qualified to marry into the Feng family is one thing, and whether the Feng family accepts it is another. The Qi family cannot actively refuse. If they directly bypass them and marry the Gu family, it will not only bring disgrace to the Feng family, but also damage the reputation of the Gu family.
But if Mrs. Feng comes forward to facilitate the marriage between the Qi family and the Gu family, the situation will be completely different. Outsiders would only tacitly believe that the Feng family did not agree with Qi Surong's entry, so they found another marriage for her. With Mrs. Feng acting as matchmaker, the Qi family's face was saved. As a result, the oral engagement between Feng Zhan and Qi Surong was naturally invalidated. It not only stopped Feng Zhan's thoughts, but also allowed him to marry into the Gu family. It was the best of both worlds.
Feng Luoshi had no intention of telling Feng Zhan about this in advance, but he overheard the conversation between her and her husband. As you can imagine, Feng Zhan reacted excitedly.
"Mom, what have you done? Are you good at making decisions and acting as matchmaker for Su Rong?"
Feng Luoshi picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "So what?"
"You know she is my beloved woman!" Feng Zhan said angrily, "You have always loved children, why did you break up Su Rong and me?"
"I'm not cruel, but I also hope that you can get your beloved daughter." Feng Luoshi consoled her, "But the girl from the Qi family didn't want to be a concubine, so I had to make this move and let her marry someone else."
"As a concubine?" Feng Zhan said seriously, "My child has never thought of making Su Rong my concubine. Since I want to marry her, it must be a matchmaker, and I will never wrong her."
"Are you confused? How could the Feng family let you marry a plain girl? Without the consent of your parents, you and she will never be able to do it."
"Pingnu? Surong comes from a noble family, but her family is in decline. Why shouldn't I marry her?"
"It would be fine if it was just an ordinary family that fell down, but their home was confiscated by the emperor. This matter can be big or small. The Feng family cannot take risks for you alone. Qi Surong was unjustly imprisoned before, which is a warning."
Feng Zhan bit it and asked after a moment: "Which family are you talking about to Su Rong?"
"The eldest son of Gu Nan of the city, Gu Jinyun." Feng Luo didn't hide anything.
Feng Zhan frowned: "Gu Jinyun? I seem to have never heard of it."
"He is not a member of the officialdom. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of him." Feng Luoshi paused and then said, "He can be considered a wealthy person."
"Fu Jia? You actually asked Su Rong to marry a businessman?"
"Although Gu's eldest son is a businessman, he is also a talented person with a rich family background, so he will not treat her badly." Besides, this was her own choice.
Feng Zhan took a deep breath, looked at his mother steadily, and said word by word: "I will never let Su Rong marry anyone else! Let alone marry a businessman. In this life, she can only She is my Feng Zhan’s wife!”
