Hearing what the Marquis' wife said, Zhao Meng's smile faded slightly. If it were in the past, he would have asked his daughter to avoid it, but he found that his daughter was calm and had no intention of avoiding it, so he simply did not mention it and let her speak directly.

Mrs. Hou originally wanted Fu Qi to leave, after all, the next words would be difficult to say.

But now that they didn't seem to be trying to avoid the issue, he could only bite the bullet and speak, "I came here this time to ask for Nianxi's hand in marriage on behalf of my son Wenjin. Since what happened yesterday also shows that Nianxi and my mansion are destined to be together, we might as well make the best of it. Maybe this will be a rare good marriage."

When Zhao Meng heard her words, he did not respond, but his face darkened.

The Marquis's wife could only continue to speak, "My son fell in love with Nianxi the moment he saw her yesterday. If Nianxi could marry into our Marquis's mansion, I would definitely treat her as my own daughter."

Fu Qi raised his head with a mocking smile, then looked at her, "It seems that Madam Hou doesn't know your son. Everyone in the capital knows that the second son of your family likes Shen Ning'er. Yesterday, he was in the Zhuangyuan Mansion and wanted to snatch Shen Ning'er back."

After Fu Qi said this, the faces of the Marquis and his wife became much uglier. They came here this time, confident that the General's Mansion would agree to their proposal. After all, she had already entered the Marquis' Mansion, so how could she marry someone else?

Fu Qi picked up the teacup and took another sip. "As for what you just said about liking me, that's nonsense. Yesterday was just a farce, why take it seriously?"

"Is my son not worthy of your general's mansion?" The marquis's wife was a little angry when she heard that her son was despised.

Zhao Meng has always been protective of his children, so how could he allow someone to speak to his daughter in such a tone? He said with anger, "My daughter is perfect in every way, so she naturally doesn't have to worry about the issue of a husband. What happened yesterday is already a joke, so why mention it again? What's more, your son already has a sweetheart, but you still come to propose marriage. Do you think that there is no one in my general's mansion?"

The Marquis stood up, his tone slightly angry, "General Zhao, we also have good intentions. Your daughter entered our mansion yesterday. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, it is not easy to marry into a good family. I also have good intentions, so I want to marry our two families. Don't be ungrateful now."

"It's none of your business what happens to my daughter. Minister Shen's daughter used despicable means to get into the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, isn't it just because she looks down on your family's dandy son. Now you dare to come in front of me and shout at me? Someone, show her away." Zhao Meng didn't say a word without beating around the bush, saying whatever hit his heart, not afraid of offending anyone at all.

The Marquis and his wife were so furious at his words that they just stormed out, looking extremely embarrassed from behind.

Fu Qi was also happy when he heard what Zhao Meng said, "Dad, killing people and destroying their hearts is a good strategy."

Zhao Meng was originally worried that his daughter would feel bad, but when he saw that she was fine and still in the mood to joke, he felt relieved, "Haha, of course, Dad is a dignified general guarding the country."

The father and daughter began to praise each other, not affected at all by the upsetting incident that had just happened.

As Lord Yongning and his wife left the general's mansion, they heard the door slam shut behind them.

Madam Hou was so angry that her face was distorted, "This is too much."

Lord Yongning was afraid of being laughed at in the street, so he quickly pulled her into the carriage and returned home.

But as soon as they returned to the mansion, they saw Wen Jin running over angrily, "Dad, Mom, don't expect me to marry that Zhao Nianxi. She wants to marry into the Marquis's mansion, but it's impossible! I only have Ning'er in my heart."

When the Marquis heard his words, he almost fainted, "Rebellious son, rebellious son."
