Poor Lady Chapter 56: Marriage
Feng Zhan’s graciousness made Qi Surong quite annoyed. Marriage requires parents’ consent, Feng Zhan may not be able to ask for it, but she can’t continue to stay in Feng Zhan’s other courtyard, and let outsiders continue to misunderstand their relationship.
I still remember that when she was disguised as Zhuo Fan not long ago, Feng Zhan asked her to count her marriage. Combining her experience in her previous life, she gave the commandment “you can’t stay in love, and you can stay alone when you are white-headed”. Now that I think about it, could it be that the beauty he admires is himself? In the previous life, when he returned from a foreign country, he was already Gu Jinyun’s wife, and they never had the chance to get close. Qi Surong couldn’t believe that Feng Zhan would not marry for the rest of his life just because of the ignorant feelings he had when he was a child?
Originally, as long as his mother came forward, Feng Zhan couldn’t force her to stay. But Feng Zhan didn’t know what he had said to his mother, and after a few words, she ignored her and let her go. Qi Surong had no choice but to study 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 first wife, Feng Luoshi.
Feng Luoshi was sitting on the couch, quietly looking at Qi Surong on the bed, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor.
With Ping’er’s support, Qi Surong bowed to her.
Feng Luoshi nodded, and said in a cold voice: “I already know about the matter between you and Zhan’er. I didn’t come here today to blame you, but I have to say something to you.”
“Ma’am, it’s okay to say.” Qi Surong said with his eyes narrowed.
“You are also from an aristocratic family, you should know that a marriage must be a good match. No matter how much you like each other, the Feng family will not be able to welcome you in.”
“Su Rong understands that Su Rong has never thought of marrying into the Feng family.”
“Really?” Feng Luoshi said lightly, “You don’t want to, but my son is willing to fight against his father for you. If this matter continues to be entangled, it will not be beneficial to Feng Qi and his family.”
“What does Madam want Su Rong to do?”
“Zhan’er is my child, I have always loved you. 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, would you like to be Zhan’er Concubine?”
Qi Surong said calmly: “Ma’am, although the Qi family is in ruins now, as a daughter of the Qi family, you can’t disgrace the family tradition. Su Rong would rather marry a commoner than a nobleman’s concubine.”
Feng Luoshi said coldly: “Then what are your plans?”
“Madam, don’t worry, there is absolutely no possibility for Su Rong and Mr. Feng.”
“Since that’s the case, it might be wrong for you to stay here.”
“What Madam said is true, but Mr. Feng is worried about Su Rong’s condition and refuses to let Su Rong leave. I would like Madam to help me with 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. Don’t you I would like to be Zhan’er’s concubine, but Zhan’er can’t marry you, either of you must make a choice first.”
“What is the choice Ma’am said?”
“You are very smart. If you hadn’t fallen from Qi’s family, with your background and personality, you and Zhan’er would indeed be a match made in heaven. It’s a pity that the world is changing, and your fate is too shallow.” Feng Luoshi said slowly, “You don’t want to be Zhan’er If you are my son’s concubine, then I will stop his thoughts as soon as possible and tell him about a marriage as soon as possible.”
Qi Surong asked: “With Mr. 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 marriage, and he has to agree if he doesn’t agree.”
Qi Surong thought for a while, and said: “Ma’am, forgive me, if you ask for a marriage order, there may be no room for change in this matter. If Mr. Feng accepts it, everyone will be happy, but if he refuses, Madam, do you want to see him resist the edict, or let him go without hesitation?”
Feng Luoshi frowned.
“Madam, Surong hopes that you don’t ask for an order, and at least leave a retreat for Mr. Feng.” Qi Surong said seriously, “Mrs. just said that Mr. Feng and I have to make a choice first. Mr. Feng is unwilling.” If you choose, 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’s wife, Mr. Feng will definitely give up on Su Rong.”
“Are you willing?” Feng Luoshi paused and said, “You know that with your current status, you can’t marry into a famous family, and ordinary officials probably won’t accept you either.”
“Surong is just a common girl, so naturally she should be married to the Heping family.” Qi Surong lowered her eyes to hide the light in her eyes.
“You… are willing to marry a commoner?” This time Feng Luoshi was really surprised. He had heard that Qi Surong was so arrogant, how could he be willing to commit himself to the common people? Is she really willing to make this sacrifice for Zhan’er?
“To Su Rong, there is no difference between common people 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 wronged, you can leave this matter to me, although I can’t find you a son of a family, at least I can trust someone Talk about a good marriage.”
“Madam, Su Rong has his own plans for the selection of candidates. If you want, why not be a matchmaker for Su Rong?”
In the afternoon of that day, Feng Luo decided to send Qi Surong home. When Feng Zhan came back, the other courtyard was empty. Although he was annoyed in his heart, he didn’t dare to question his mother. He just visited Qi’s family every day and sent some precious medicinal materials from time to time, but the Qi family sent them 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 Surong, so he had to write a letter to inquire.
Qi Surong was leaning on the bed to read the letter, when one hand suddenly took her letter away.
She turned her head to look, and it was Gu Jinyun who she hadn’t seen for a long time. He read the letter, then crumpled the letter into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve without saying a word.
“You…” Gu Jinyun kissed her before she finished speaking.
“You are my woman.” With a stern face, he held Qi Surong tightly in his arms, with an undeniably domineering tone.
Qi Surong hugged him back and said with a smile, “You’re jealous.”
“Of course I would be jealous!” Gu Jinyun said coldly, “He actually declared you to be his fiancee! Do you know what I was thinking at the time?”
“What are you thinking?”
“I want to **** you away from him immediately, and then directly kill you.”
What should I do? Qi Surong blushed and asked, “Then why didn’t you do it?”
“I’m afraid it will affect your recuperation, and I’m afraid it will bring criticism to you.” In that situation at that time, if there was another man vying for Su Rong, outsiders didn’t know how they would treat 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, and seeing Feng Zhan’s meticulous care and intimate behavior for Su Rong, he felt a flame rising in his heart.
“You don’t have to bear it anymore.” Qi Surong looked up at him with a smile in his eyes.
Gu Jinyun had a questioning look on his face?
Qi Surong withdrew from his embrace, and said seriously: “Young Master Gu, is the two-year period agreed between the Qi family and the Gu family coming soon?”
“There are only two months left.” Gu Jinyun’s eyes were burning.
“After those two months, are you willing to fulfill your promise and marry a daughter from the Qi family?”
“Of course, I will never break my promise.”
Qi Surong smiled beautifully, held his hand, and said softly, “Two months later, Qi Surong will be Gu Jinyun’s wife.”
Gu Jinyun hugged her tightly, his eyes filled with joy.
“Jin Yun, I kept you waiting.” Qi Surong leaned on his chest and whispered softly.
I have been hesitant before, because I was worried that I would bring trouble to the Gu family. Now that the threat of the secret decree is gone, there is Mrs. Feng as a matchmaker for them. Qi Surong believes that from now on, no one can stop them from being together.
The “relationship” between Feng Zhan and her is almost known to everyone. Whether she is eligible to marry into the Feng family is one thing, but whether the Feng family accepts it is another matter. The Qi family can’t take the initiative to refuse. If they directly go past them and marry the Gu family, it will not only bring shame to the Feng family, but also damage the reputation of the Gu family.
But if Mrs. Feng stepped forward to facilitate the marriage between the Qi family and the Gu family, the situation would be completely different. Outsiders would only tacitly think that the Feng family did not agree to Qi Surong’s entry, so they found another marriage for her. Let Mrs. Feng act as a matchmaker, which can be regarded as taking care of the Qi family’s face. In this way, the verbal engagement between Feng Zhan and Qi Surong is null and void, not only breaking Feng Zhan’s thoughts, but also marrying into Gu’s family naturally, it can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Feng Luoshi did not intend to tell Feng Zhan about this in advance, but he overheard the conversation between her and her husband. As you can imagine, Feng Zhan reacted excitedly.
“Mother, what did you do? You made a good claim and acted as a matchmaker for Su Rong?”
Feng Luoshi picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: “So what?”
“You know she is my beloved woman!” Feng Zhan said angrily, “You always love children, why do you want to separate Surong and me?”
“It’s not because of my mother’s cruelty. My mother also hopes that you can get your beloved daughter.” Feng Luoshi comforted, “But the daughter of the Qi family didn’t want to be a concubine, so my mother had no choice but to make a bad move and let her marry another others.”
“A concubine?” Feng Zhan said seriously, “My child never thought of letting Su Rong be my concubine. Since I want to marry her, it must be a bright matchmaker, and I will never wrong her.”
“Are you confused? How could the Feng family let you marry a common girl? Without the consent of your parents, you and her will never be possible.”
“Ping girl? Surong was born in a family, but her family is in decline. Why not marry her?”
“It’s fine if it’s just an ordinary family falling down, but they were stolen by the emperor. This matter can be big or small. The Feng family can’t take risks for you alone. The wrongful imprisonment of Qi Surong before was a warning. .”
Feng Zhan bit his teeth, and asked after a moment: “Which family did you tell Su Rong?”
“Gu Jinyun is the son of Gu’s eldest son in the south of the city.” Feng Luoshi did not hide anything.
Feng Zhan frowned: “Gu Jinyun? I seem to have never heard of it.”
“He’s not from the officialdom, so it’s not surprising that you haven’t heard of it.” Feng Luoshi paused, and then said, “He can be regarded as a rich man.”
“Fu Jia? You actually asked Su Rong to marry a businessman?”
“Although Gu’s eldest son is a businessman, he is also a good-looking talent. His family background is rich, so he won’t treat her badly.” Besides, she chose it herself.
Feng Zhan took a deep breath, looked at his mother fixedly, and said word by word: “I will never let Su Rong marry someone else! Let alone marry a businessman. , can only be my wife, Feng Zhan!”
