On the day Governor Fang woke up, General Lu could not wait to rush over from the military camp in the suburbs. He stood at the head of the bed, pointed at his nose and cursed him, calling him "scumbag", "waste" and a series of other dirty words.

Commander Lu cursed for half an hour, but was forced to stop because Governor Fang was too exhausted to reply and became so angry that he vomited frequently due to stress, causing the sour and foul smell to linger in the room for a long time.

Afterwards, Commander Lu tried to control his breathing rhythm to block it out, opening and closing his mouth several times. Helplessly, he could only curse the last sentence hatefully and then fled angrily.

The governor's wife had been sitting in the outer room, covering her mouth and nose with a scented silk handkerchief. When she heard the cursing inside, she felt as if she was also implicated and her face was being torn off and trampled on.

Seeing Commander Lu leave, she also stood up and left. As soon as she left the house, she immediately threw away the handkerchief in her hand that was stained with a strange smell with disgust.

However, considering their more than ten years of marital love, the governor's wife still sent people to fetch four beauties from Governor Fang's garden to take care of Governor Fang on her behalf.

……

Since Governor Fang opened his eyes, he discussed Fu Weishen's marriage with his wife while he was still conscious.

He had originally planned to use his marriage relationship to form a reliable alliance to assist him in his promotion. However, due to his disfigurement and the illegal opening of the gold mine, he might not be able to keep his position as governor. Therefore, the most urgent thing was to use this marriage to exchange for an opportunity to ask for help from someone who was favored by the old emperor and was willing to speak for him in the court.

Governor Fang quickly thought of Prime Minister Wu, who had been discussing his marriage with him at the imperial palace. His wife, also unwilling to see her wealth and glory disappear, acquiesced to Governor Fang's proposal.

Fu Weixin was in a very bad mood these past two days because the wife of the governor had given her several marriage candidates. Although she was just picking them out, the words between the lines hinted that the young man from the Wu family was handsome and talented, and could be considered a good match.

Even though she revealed that she already had someone she liked, it did not stop the governor's wife from arranging a marriage for her, and she just asked her to go back to the courtyard and think about it carefully.

What was he considering? Fu Weixin flipped through the list in his hand without any emotion, not feeling that he had the right to choose.

The time given by the Governor's wife for consideration was gradually decreasing. Fu Weixin suddenly threw the list to the ground. She couldn't just accept her fate and do nothing. She had to make the Governor's wife give up this idea.

……

When Jiang Yan was called back to Miss Fu's room from the kitchen by Yile, she saw Miss Fu with a cold face and the other maids lowered their heads and remained silent. She couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Only when he realized that it was the girl who asked everyone to brainstorm and find reasons to reject the marriage did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief and relax.

This is similar to rejecting a blind date. Although she has not experienced it personally, has she seen a pig run even if she has never eaten pork?

Jiang Yan took the list from Chunying and glanced at it. It was very good. Most of the young men had been mentioned by Aunt Wang and the others.

Just as I was about to state my reasons for objection one by one on the list, I suddenly remembered my illiterate personality and swallowed my words back.

It was a close call. I had to raise the price of my redemption.

Then he glanced ahead secretly. Several maids remained silent, and Chunying didn't say a word either. He didn't know whether they had finished their reports or were unable to offer any advice.

Fu Weixin sat at the head of the table, clearly observing Jiang Yan's hesitation and rolling eyes. Was he having an idea?

After waiting for a while and still not hearing her reply, Fu Weixin couldn't help but ask by name, "Jiang Yan, you're looking around. What's the plan?"
