To other people, Feng Tianlan marrying a court official was like a bird becoming a phoenix. Nobody knew that Governor Shizi was a man of no substance. Feng Xiang thought that Xu Jiayi’s suggestion made sense, so he said, “Him it is. Tomorrow, we’ll go over there with a big party and make sure everyone knows we’re arranging this marriage.”
This time, he thought, I will definitely make sure that Feng Tianlan gets married. If this plan doesn’t work, I will try to smear her reputation and make sure she never gets any peace in her life.
The next day, Xu Jiayi carried gifts to the Ding Nation courthouse and explained her reason for visiting, including what benefits the family would gain from marrying Feng Tianlan and what sort of dowry she would have. The Head Governor and his wife’s eyes sparkled at this.
Their son, Governor Shizi, was also there listening. He had seen Feng Tianlan at the showdown with Feng Xiuyu. Even though the Fengs had no official court or royal position, they were still highly regarded, so he quickly said that he liked her and wanted to marry her.
To Governor Shizi, there were only benefits and no disadvantages in marrying Feng Tianlan. That in itself made him like her. And so, once again, a marriage was arranged without Feng Tianlan’s consent. To ensure Governor’s Shizi’s safety, the news started spreading the moment Xu Jiayi’s entourage left the Ding Nation’s courthouse.
Luo Yunzhu immediately stopped training and rushed over to the Feng residence upon hearing this news. She shouted, “Tianlan! TIANLAN!”
Feng Tianlan heard a voice that sounded like it was on fire. She immediately knew who it was, so she came out of the Pill Scroll Realm.
“Such terrible things have happened, and you’re still in the mood to train?” Luo Yunzhu had rushed in to find Feng Tianlan sitting cross-legged on the floor and meditating. She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
“What’s happened now?” Feng Tianlan was used to Luo Yunzhu overreacting, so she took her time asking.
“You just threw away a pile of feces, so how have you picked up even bigger pieces?”
“Huh?” Feng Tianlan was confused and laughed. “Yunzhu, I don’t have a weird habit of picking up droppings.”
“No, that’s not what I meant. I meant…”
Luo Yunzhu explained the whole situation about Governor Shizi in a hurry. Her eyes were all red and teary as if she were the one who was being forced to marry this man. After listening, Feng Tianlan understood why Luo Yunzhu was so anxious.
She said, “It’s that scumbag of a father, making decisions for me that I don’t know anything about.”
This Feng Xiang is such a fantastic father, she thought, finding a husband for me, again and again. On the surface, each match was better than the previous one, but each man was more morally bankrupt than the last.
“Why do you have such a father? Sometimes, I wonder if he’s even your father because no father would push his daughter into a pit of fire!”
Luo Yunzhu was so angry when she heard that this was Feng Xiang’s idea that she’d almost cried. She couldn’t understand how Tianlan could have such an awful father. Even the most vicious animals took care of their young. Was this man even human?
Feng Tianlan pulled at her fingers. After thinking it through, she saw what Feng Xiang was trying to do. He was trying to make this matter as public as possible so that it would be difficult for someone to kill Governor Shizi.
“Tianlan, are you really going to marry that piece of sh*t?” Luo Yunzhu asked anxiously.
Governor Shizi had also tried making moves on her before. He was even slimier than the Third Prince. That governor was the scum of all scumbags! Feng Tianlan saw that Luo Yunzhu was so worried that her eyes were now bloodshot, and she was touched by this. She was the central figure in this matter, but she wasn’t concerned. Instead, it was Yunzhu, an onlooker, who was so freaked out that she was going to cry at any moment.
“This is not a time for laughing. What is this, even?” Luo Yunzhu almost went crazy when she saw Feng Tianlan laugh. As the saying goes, the emperor’s subjects worry more than the emperor himself.
“Don’t worry. He won’t be able to marry me,” Feng Tianlan assured her with confidence.
