FID – Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Give Her A Bloody Scolding First

  The only people left in the hall were the elders of the Liu family, Liu Zhixia and Fu Yuzheng.

  The crowd’s gazes all gathered on Fu Yuzheng, making her blush in embarrassment and unable to raise her head.

  She was trembling all over.

  It had never occurred to her that Liu Zhixia would call the Liu family elders over like this to propose marriage to her.

  The village was a long way from the capital. She had been to the village, and she knew how tiring it was for people to ride in a carriage for a month. The Liu family elders suffered such a trek, which showed their recognition and the importance they attached to her.

  She felt very happy and grateful.

  And also…guiltier.

  Did they know that she wasn’t as good as they thought?

  Grandma Liu took Fu Yuzheng’s hand and grinned. “You went back to Xinghua Village with Zhixia to celebrate the New Year. I could tell you two had something. I was deeply anxious but didn’t dare to urge you. Given how shy you are, I was afraid that you’d feel embarrassed. I didn’t expect that things would really come true. Aiyo, this old lady is happy. I’m so happy!”

  Chen Xiulan also said, “The two boys in our family, Zhixia and Zhiqiu, are very old, but they’re totally unconcerned about their life-long events. The family has been anxious for years. But now that Zhixia has settled with you, I can finally be at ease. It seems that Zhixia didn’t care before because he hasn’t met anyone who can make him care. This kid has deep thoughts.”

  ”Yuzheng,  ah, when you enter our Liu family, you can rest assured. Zhixia will never bully you. All the men in our old Liu family have the same temperament, and they love their wives!” Liu Dalin interjected, unwilling to remain out of the limelight and putting in a good word for his son.

  When taking a wife, how could you not let the girl rest assured? Marriage was marriage, but it wasn’t as simple as nodding.

  ”Right!” Grandpa Liu roared. “After you marry him, you’ll really be part of our family. If Zhixia dares to bully you and wrong you, tell grandpa that grandma, and we will stand up for you!”

  The elders declared where they stood to Fu Yuzheng. In short, they stepped on Liu Zhixia as low as possible. Liu Zhixia merely sat beside her with a smile and didn’t speak to express any dissatisfaction and refutation. He acquiesced in the elders’ statements.

  Fu Yuzheng could not understand.

  The Lius were warm and simple. They were open-minded in dealing with people and things, and their thoughts were clean and simple. They would definitely do what they promised. They were definitely not those who only speak well but act differently afterwards.

  While feeling shy, her heart was also filled with these resplendent yet unadorned promises. Nothing but warmth flowed in her heart.

  If she was lucky enough to be the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of this family, it was probably a blessing she had cultivated in her past life.

  ”Yuzheng, you also know that we came here specifically to propose marriage to you. We can’t say much about the occasion, but as long as you nod, you can tell us whatever request you have, and we, the grandparents, will make sure to give them to you. We absolutely won’t shame you.”

  Fu Yuzheng forced the soreness of her nose and smiled, “Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, I understand your intentions. I-I didn’t expect Zhixia to call you, so I made no preparations. I’m glad you came and took me seriously. In fact, even without this incident, I have already promised Zhixia.”

  ”Really? So you two have already agreed?” Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan were overjoyed. “Then we just need to go through the dowry and exchanging of Gengties and the matter will be done! Zhixia didn’t even mention this to us. Fortunately, we came prepared.”

  When they came, they had made up their minds that things could only be successful, not defeated. They would definitely bring their daughter-in-law back to Zhixia, so they had prepared the Gengtie and silver bills long ago.

  The two children were in love with each other, so it was a done deal. They would agree to whatever Yuzheng would ask.

  ”Yuzheng, then we’ll take it that you’ve agreed for this marriage. Just say what you want us to do.” Chen Xiulan’s face sparked, and her eyes fell on Fu Yuzheng’s stomach again. She would soon be a mother-in-law, and it might not be long before she was promoted to grandmother.

  It was beautiful, just thinking about it.

  Fu Yuzheng looked towards Liu Zhixia. The man was gazing at her quietly, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, spreading to the bottom of his eyes.

  He was very happy.

  Then she was satisfied.

  ”Aunt Liu, I don’t have any requirements, just keep it simple. You may not know much about my circumstances yet. I am now an orphan. I have no relatives and no family. It can be said that I’m alone and have nothing at all. If you are willing to accept me, it will be my blessing.”

  This was the first time Fu Yuzheng mentioned her family affairs in front of the Liu family. She was worried that the Liu family would react differently, but she saw Grandma Liu waving her hand, without giving a damn.

  ”That’s not a big deal. When you said you were a maid in the royal residence, I guessed that your parents were met with misfortune. When you enter our family later, we’ll all be your relatives. The old Liu family will be your home, and you can have everything. You’ll never be worse than anyone else.”

  After a pause, Grandma Liu added, “Since you are working in the royal family, is Axiu holding your deed of sale? Don’t worry. I’ll ask him for it later. From now on, you’ll belong to our Liu family.”

  Fu Yuzheng smiled in spite of herself, and her decision was ironed.

  Liu Zhixia sighed helplessly: “Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, although Yuzheng is working in the royal residence, she did not sign a deed of sale. She is a free person. She has a reason for entering the royal residence in the first place. I will tell you about it later.”

  The long story was too time-consuming. The family would probably not understand it if it were cut short.

  ”There are indeed many reasons. I’ll talk about it in detail in the future. Elders, you came a long way to the capital, so let’s not talk about anything else today. I’ll ask the kitchen to serve the meal. After eating, why don’t you have a rest? Tomorrow, Zhixia will enter the examination room. Our betrothal can also wait until after his spring exams.”

  Hearing this, the Lius nodded.

  Although Xiao Jinzi and Nannan were there and spared no effort to take care of them throughout the journey, they were still getting older at the end of the day. No matter how vigorous they were, they were still exhausted.

  It was true that they needed to take a good rest to have more energy for the engagement.

  When the dishes were served, Feng Qingbai came late with the abducted Liu Yusheng. As for Xue Qinglian, he was dead asleep. No one dared to wake him up. When he awaked due to hunger, he would find food himself.

  Meanwhile, Qian Wanjin, who had rushed out of the King’s Manor didn’t head home directly, but went to General Shi’s residence first.

  He left the capital for more than three months, and left a message to Shi Xianrou before leaving. That guy didn’t even send him a message to Xinghua Village.

  She should be thankful that he missed her.

  Once he found her, he would first give her a series of bloody scolding, and then ask her to buy him fried spring rolls!

  The glittering golden carriage swaggered through the streets of the capital. Anyone in the city who caught sight of the color would know that Young Boss Qian had come out.

  The Qians Restaurant was located in the most prosperous section of the streets of the capital. Through the window of a private room on the third floor, Qian Baihao glanced down inadvertently, and put the wine glass in his hand on the table with a bang, “The family’s bastard is back.”
