Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 117 The Female General Who Did Not Love Makeup (22)

That evening, Zhou Ying went to Xia Mingwei's room.

In order to achieve her goals, Zhou Ying felt that playing the emotional card was still very necessary.

She was in a peaceful mood, with a smile on her face and a look of joy.

Although she already knew what was going to happen next, Xia Mingwei still chose to watch her performance quietly.

Zhou Ying sat down next to Xia Mingwei with a normal expression, as if she wasn't the one who had cursed Xia Mingwei earlier.

"Daughter, I have some good news to tell you!"

Xia Mingwei raised an eyebrow without changing her expression and replied with a smile, "What is it?"

"I've arranged a good marriage for you! This family is the home of the son of a newly promoted third-rank official! Don't underestimate him just because he's only a third-rank official now; who knows what the future holds! This man is named Wu Zhi. I've seen his face; he's polite, upright, and quite handsome!"

As Zhou Ying spoke, she glanced at Xia Mingwei's expression out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that Xia Mingwei didn't seem to have much resistance, she continued speaking.

"I've met Wu Zhi's mother before! She has a kind and gentle face, and seems like an easy person to get along with! So, once you marry into her family, you can just enjoy your life!"

Zhou Ying's words were so exaggerated that she praised the marriage to the skies, as if Xia Mingwei would regret missing out on this marriage for the rest of her life!

Finally, Zhou Ying tentatively asked, "What do you think of this marriage?"

"Didn't Mother already exchange wedding invitations with Wu Zhi? Isn't it too late to ask my opinion now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying was instantly enraged. Gritting her teeth, she cursed, "Which blind lackey let this news reach your ears!"

As soon as Zhou Ying said this, the servants around her knelt down, fearing that she might punish them if she got angry.

Xia Mingwei wasn't angry at all, and still said with a smile, "They didn't tell me! I heard rumors outside, so I went to inquire! After all, you're going to arrange a marriage for me, I can't not even know who my fiancé is!"

Seeing that Xia Mingwei's reason for learning the news wasn't due to gossip from those around her, Zhou Ying's anger subsided somewhat.

"The marriage is set for the beginning of next month. What do you think of that date?"

"My opinion doesn't matter, what matters is that Mother is satisfied!"

Zhou Ying was surprised by Xia Mingwei's answer.

She had thought that Xia Mingwei would definitely make a scene, knowing her personality, after seeing her arrange her marriage on her own initiative. But she didn't expect Xia Mingwei to agree so easily, which made her feel somewhat disappointed.

She asked with some concern, "Do you really agree to this marriage? Are you willing to marry into it?"

Xia Mingwei twitched the corners of her mouth. "What can I do if I don't want to? I still have to marry him! Rather than being forced into marriage by you, I might as well agree to the marriage and happily go with him!"

Zhou Ying nodded repeatedly in agreement, beaming with joy. "It's wonderful that you think this way! These next few days, aside from attending court, don't worry about anything else. Take good care of your health and focus on preparing for your wedding!"

After giving Xia Mingwei these instructions, she happily went out.

Xia Mingwei watched her departing figure, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and smiled silently.

She sincerely hoped that Zhou Ying could be as happy as she was now after the wedding day.

At the same time, Madam Wu was also brainwashing Wu Zhi.

"I'm not marrying that martial arts woman! You can marry her if you want, I'm not marrying her!" Wu Zhi said to Madam Wu in a huff.

"By marrying that shrew, I think you're deliberately trying to make my life miserable, Mother! You used to love me the most, how come you've changed?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu quickly denied it.

"My child, aren't you tearing my heart out by saying that? How could I not love you!"

As she said this, she casually sat down next to Wu Zhi.

"Let me tell you, I'm not asking you to marry her so she can discipline you! It's just that you're getting old and really need a wife to keep you in check! Let's look at it another way. Her status isn't bad either; she's the only female official and a marquis in the government. If you marry her, all these honors will belong to your children! The gold, jewels, and land bestowed upon her by the Emperor alone are enough to ensure that our family will live comfortably for generations to come!"

Madam Wu paused for a moment, then continued, "Even if you don't like her, we can just marry her and keep her as a decoration! After a few years, when the court no longer needs her, we'll find a way to get rid of her!"

“She’s so capable, she’s killed people on the battlefield, do you think she’ll listen to us?” Wu Zhi remained skeptical despite hearing so much from his mother.

Madam Wu tapped Wu Zhi on the head. "Are you stupid? Now that we know how formidable she is, why should we confront her openly? As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. We'll just trip her up secretly! I have plenty of ways to make people suffer in secret!"

Upon learning that his mother had not betrayed him, Wu Zhi smiled with satisfaction.

"Mother, then I'll do as you say!"

After saying that, Wu Zhi immediately added, "After I marry her, Mother, you can't stop me from finding a 'servant' anymore!"

The servant Wu Zhi mentioned was not a servant in the proper sense, but a man who was homosexual.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu could barely keep her smile on her face!

She had originally thought that marrying a woman might change her son's temperament, but she never expected that her son would still hold such a plan!

In the future, all the glory and wealth of this mansion should be inherited by her own grandson! She was unwilling to hand it over to someone else and become a dowry for someone else's child for nothing!

She had secretly observed Xia Mingwei before, and her appearance was truly exceptional. Among all the noble ladies in the capital, she was certainly outstanding! Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to this marriage.

Maybe if her son saw her and learned about matters between men and women, he would change his ways!

She would then take a few beautiful concubines for her son and have them give birth to several chubby grandsons. Just thinking about that scene made Madam Wu very happy!

She was itching to get started, wishing she could marry Xia Mingwei right now! The sooner she married her, the sooner she could implement her grand plan!

However, all of this was just Mrs. Wu's wishful thinking, and her idea was destined to fail!

Since Xia Mingwei never intended to marry into the family, there was no need for such a big fuss to get revenge on a nobody like Wu Zhi!
