Princess Promotion

Yan Mingzhe suppressed his anger and, adhering to the idea that family disgrace should not be made public, politely said to Yao Chuguang, "Madam Shen, this is a family matter between me and Hongxuan. Please step aside for now."

If it were an ordinary woman, facing Yan Mingzhe's harsh tone, his words and deeds were saying that you are an outsider, and it was obvious that he looked down on you.

I was already so ashamed that I covered my face and cried, and I had no face to stay any longer.

But is Yao Chuguang an ordinary person?

Obviously she wasn't, so Yao Chuguang could sit there leisurely, eating melon seeds and listening without changing her expression, if she wasn't afraid of overstimulating Yan Mingzhe.

Yao Chuguang could still make a few serious comments, but the lethality of this was not even half as strong as the quarreling aunties at the village entrance.

But now Yan Mingzhe clearly wanted to kick him out, and if he didn't say a few words, he would really be kicked out.

Yao Chuguang cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Yan, although I am a widow, I am also the daughter of a good family. He flirted with me in broad daylight. You must help me."

Yan Mingzhe has never encountered such a shameless woman who turns the tables on others in his life.

What did she mean by this? Was she going to entangle Hongxuan with him?

Yan Mingzhe looked at Fu Hongxuan, as if to say, do you like this kind of thing?

In the past, Yan Mingzhe had seen too many rich kids who kept a bunch of beautiful girls in their backyards, and he didn't know how many jokes and scandals they had caused.

Therefore, he was particularly relieved about Fu Hongxuan's chastity and his abstention from women.

Unexpectedly, he ended up being deceived by such a widow.

Yao Chuguang felt that the way Yan Mingzhe looked at her was as if she was a treasure that he had carefully nurtured and raised, and in the end, he actually brought back a yellow-haired boy.

Yan Mingzhe wanted to eat the yellow-haired guy at this moment.

Yan Mingzhe looked at Huang Maoyao Chuguang and said word by word: "Then you want me to make the decision."

Yao Chuguang said with a look of taking advantage of you: "Of course you have to be responsible for me. I won't mention the formal marriage with a sedan chair carried by eight people. All the money, land and shops in this general's mansion must be given to me. You are not allowed to take concubines in the future. Even if I die before you, you must remain a widow for the rest of your life and cannot have other women..."

Yan Mingzhe suddenly calmed down. As long as Fu Hongxuan was sane, he would not agree to such outrageous conditions proposed by this widow.

Even after her death, Fu Hongxuan was not allowed to remarry, so why should she be allowed to remarry?

oppressive rule.

His family's Fu Hongxuan was talented in both civil and military affairs, had good moral character, and held a high position at a young age.

With this family background and this appearance, what woman can't want...

Then Yan Mingzhe heard Fu Hongxuan agree without hesitation: "Okay, whatever you say!"

Yan Mingzhe looked at Fu Hongxuan in disbelief, you have been bewitched.

What did you like about that woman? Because she was a widow? Because she was lazy and greedy?

Yan Mingzhe admitted that the widow Shen San was quite pretty, especially her bright eyes, which were clear and bright, as bright as stars.

Moreover, her behavior is quirky and indeed more lively than those well-behaved ladies.

But when choosing a wife, you can’t just consider her personality and preferences; you also have to consider her abilities and family background.

Now I am attracted to this woman and want to marry her for her freshness.

When this freshness wears off with time, what will be left is a mess and a couple who are tired of each other.

Yan Mingzhe does not pay attention to family background and origin, but he agrees with the saying that couples should be well matched.

If Fu Hongxuan was an ordinary person, then there would be no problem with this marriage.

But Fu Hongxuan is not an ordinary person. What does this identity represent? His wife has to take charge of the household chores, handle all kinds of guests, and maintain the family's reputation.

How could Shen San, a country girl, do such things? The mistress of a noble family never cared about feelings or likes and dislikes.

It depends on your ability, whether you can support the whole family.

No matter how much Fu Hongxuan's father loved his mother, the old lady would never agree, it was really just because of their family background.

It was because Fu Hongxuan's mother, apart from taking care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, was unable to manage such a large general's mansion.

After following Fu Hongxuan's father for so many years, he couldn't even afford to buy some shops with money. All these years he relied on Fu Hongxuan's father.

If Fu Hongxuan's father had been away fighting for any longer, both mother and son would have starved to death.

How can you expect the old lady to feel at ease handing over the general's mansion to Fu Hongxuan's mother?

The front and back yards are closely related. A person's energy is limited. You cannot ask him to work hard for his career outside while also going home to deal with trivial matters and manage the family property.

Yan Mingzhe now just wanted to turn Fu Hongxuan over and pour out the water in his head.

Although his mother came from a poor family and had no ability to manage the household, she was at least a gentle, considerate, and virtuous woman.

As for Shen San, he sleeps until noon every day, does nothing productive, is short-sighted, and doesn't even care about sending his children to school.

Thinking of this, Yan Mingzhe felt so disappointed in Fu Hongxuan that he slapped him several times.

Yan Mingzhe looked at Fu Hongxuan with deep sorrow and said, "His Majesty entrusted you with such an important task, yet you committed such a shameful act. How can you face His Majesty?"

What you're implying is that you're really willing to give up your reputation and future just to be with Shen San?

If this matter really gets out, the censors will accuse you of being immoral.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, your identity as a military general of the previous dynasty is already sensitive, so you must be even more careful and cautious in your daily actions.

You are actually having an affair with a widow. Isn't this just a joke?

Yao Chuguang silently put down the melon seeds in his hand. He was indeed a scholar and didn't even use dirty words when scolding others.

In fact, for Yan Mingzhe, a weak scholar, those few blows were nothing to the tough and thick-skinned Fu Hongxuan.

But Yan Mingzhe was pointing her out, even though Yao Chuguang was wearing a vest now.

If she were to eat melon seeds now and say yes, yes, yes, the scolding is right.

Yao Chuguang couldn't even imagine how socially devastated he would be when his vest was revealed.

I guess people would think she has some special fetish!

Yao Chuguang threw herself on Fu Hongxuan and said, "Sir, please stop hitting me. This is all my fault. I shamelessly seduced Brother Fu!"

This sentence shocked Yan Mingzhe. This woman changed her expression so quickly!

Yao Chuguang continued, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. If you want to hit someone, hit Brother Fu!"

For a moment, Yan Mingzhe wondered if he had heard it wrong, and heard "If you want to hit me, hit me" as "If you want to hit me, hit Brother Fu".

Fu Hongxuan looked at Yao Chuguang helplessly and said, "Why don't you go back first, I will convince the master."

If he allowed Yao Chuguang to stay, he would probably be beaten to a pulp by Yan Mingzhe.

Yao Chuguang nodded and stood up to leave without showing any anxiety at all.

Yan Mingzhe was even more confused. This woman had no dignity at all.

He beat Fu Hongxuan, how could this woman remain so indifferent?

Yao Chuguang walked to the door and seemed to have thought of something, then turned back and walked to Fu Hongxuan's side.

Yan Mingzhe thought that Yao Chuguang would stand by Fu Hongxuan and work together for their future.

Yao Chuguang just stretched out his hand to ask Fu Hongxuan for some money and said, "Give me some money. I've been bored these past few days and have no money to spend."

Although Yao Chuguang lived and ate in the general's mansion, he really didn't have a penny on him.

He couldn’t buy anything he wanted to eat or play with, so Fu Hongxuan had to take out the money and buy everything he wanted.

Yan Mingzhe saw Fu Hongxuan with a distressed look on his face as he gave all the silver he had to the widow.

He even felt that it was not enough, so he gave the token to Yao Chuguang and instructed him as he gave it to him: "If the silver is not enough, just take the token to the housekeeper to get more."

Yao Chuguang took the token and said, "By the way, my stepson Zhou Rui was sent to school by the teacher today. You can pick him up from school later."

After saying that, he took the silver and went out in style.

Leaving behind the hardworking Fu Hongxuan and Yan Mingzhe, whose worldview was shattered.

Fu Hongxuan turned around and was about to speak when Yan Mingzhe interrupted him, "Don't say anything. I'm tired, so you can go down first."

What else is there to say? Look at Fu Hongxuan, he looks so worthless.

He was completely controlled by the widow and was still counting money after being sold.

Yan Mingzhe put down the ruler and felt that he had to take a long-term view.

Fu Hongxuan is the same as his father, a stubborn person. If they are forcibly separated, they will probably be considered a pair of star-crossed lovers.

He had to find another way and not repeat the same mistakes as the old lady.

Yan Mingzhe didn't hear anyone getting up behind him, so he turned around and looked at Fu Hongxuan in confusion. Why was he still there?

Yan Mingzhe's eyes lit up. Could it be that he had figured it out and wanted to turn back?

Fu Hongxuan asked cautiously, "Master, which school does Xiaorui attend, and when does he finish school?"

"What exactly do you like about that woman?" Yan Mingzhe finally asked the biggest question in his heart.

Fu Hongxuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Yan Mingzhe without blinking and said, "Master, being with her is the greatest blessing of my life."

There's no hope, it's completely over!

Yan Mingzhe never dreamed that Fu Hongxuan would fall for the word "love".
