Wanyan Kangâs âIâm sorryâ, made Su Mei alarmed. That pair of eyes full of sadness was filled with tears now, âYouâre apologizing to me, could it be that you want to leave me alone?â
Wanyan Kang didnât have an answer for Su Mei. He didnât want to and also wonât separate from Su Mei. However, if he continues to stay here, thinking about Wanyan Lieâs actions, he felt very painful.
He wanted to take her along and wander the horizon together. He didnât know if Su Mei was willing or not. Su Mei was Feng Qi Qiâs left and right hand. The feelings between the master and servant was deep. Now, Feng Qi Qi was pregnant. If he took Su Mei away at this time, no matter what, it wouldnât be reasonable. It was just, although he knew that it was like this, Wanyan Kang still asked his question. He wanted Su Mei to choose.
âLittle Mei er1, are you willing to go with me?â
This question startled Su Mei. It turned out that he didnât want to leave alone, but he wanted to take her with him! At this time, the hurt on Su Meiâs face went a bit away. It was just, if she goes with Wanyan Kang, then what about miss? Miss was now pregnant. Moreover, little master had a gu on him. If she leaves, who will serve miss?
Su Meiâs silence made Wanyan Kang laugh bitterly once. Sure enough, in her heart, the one she thought more about was still Feng Qi Qi...
Thinking till here, Wanyan Kang put away the sadness in his heart and smiled naughtily at Su Mei.
âLittle Mei er, donât worry. I will just go out for a stroll. It would also take a year or so. It wonât be long! When cousin in law gives birth to the baby, I will come back to see my little nephew. Conveniently, I will marry you! Lest, that you canât get married and hang on cousin brother and cousin in law! Benwang2 tackled the difficult job of marrying you. It could also be considered a help of reducing cousin in lawâs burden!â
âWhat are you saying, ah?!â Words coming from Wanyan Kangâs mouth always made people so angry. Could it be that he had to use such an image to face her? Could it be that he couldnât open his heart in front of her?
Su Mei wanted to scold, but when she saw the smile on Wanyan Kangâs face, she closed her mouth. Her nose humphed once. She turned her face and looked elsewhere with a look of âI donât care about youâ.
âThis miss is loved by all. Flowers will bloom when they see me. When a carriage saw me, it will carry me. How would I not be able to marry? The moment your forefoot left, the next moment, I will find ten handsome men to accompany me!â
The offensive words Su Mei said changed taste when they reached Wanyan Kangâs ears, âJust now, I was thinking if I should remind you to keep yourself pure for me and shouldnât be the red apricot tree that leas over the garden wall. Now, you said your true feelings! So sad...the man had the mind, but the woman doesnât have the intention. Then, I should better go find a small jade flower! By then, I will embrace on the left and hug on the right. Very contended, ah!â
The red apricot tree that leans over the garden wall: a wife having an illicit lover
âAlright, ah! Go find, ah!â Su Meiâs eyes got red. Her nose got sour. Her foot kicked Wanyan Kang. Donât know if she did it on purpose or what, she kicked his crotch. Wanyan Kang didnât pay attention and was attacked by Su Mei. He immediately hugged his lower body and screamed.
âLittle Mei er, you kill the husband! I want to divorce you!â
âWe havenât married yet! No need to trouble you!â
At this time, the two were still like hedgehogs. You plunge me, I plunge you, making Feng Qi Qi who saw it rant and rave. Finally, when she saw that the two was about to âattackâ each other, Feng Qi Qi roared, âBoth of you, shut up!â
This roar made Wanyan Kang and Su Mei shut up. Feng Qi Qi looked at Su Mei and in the end, looked at Wanyan Kang. Her voice also became icy.
âWhat, Xiaoyao wang3 wants to pat your ass and leave after finishing eating? Is bengongâs4 godsister so easy to bully? Or is it that Xiaoyao wang didnât put bengong, this grand princess in your eyes and also didnât put the regent in your eyes? So, that was why you dared to bully bengongâs sister like this?â
Feng Qi Qiâs ability to reverse the black and the white made Wanyan Kang dumbfounded. In just a moment, Su Mei became this grand princessâs godsister. Moreover, she kept reprimanding him that he ate Su Mei and didnât own up to it. In this world, there was no one who would be better at framing than Feng Qi Qi.
âMiss...,â In the end, Su Mei followed Feng Qi Qi the longest. She knew that miss was helping her, but she didnât want Wanyan Kang to marry her under Feng Qi Qiâs âthreatâ. She didnât want that!
âShut up!â
Su Mei didnât expect that her words would result in Feng Qi Qiâs âscoldingâ her.
âYou followed bengong for so long, why didnât you learn to have bengongâs discerning eyes? What do you want with a man who will escape and evade when met with a problem? Why do you have to put your heart on him? Could it be that all men had died?! He doesnât have any sense of responsibility. Facing pressure, he will want to leave. Heâs innocent, but in this world, there are people more innocent than him! Didnât everyone withstand it?!â
Usually, it was rare to enjoy Feng Qi Qiâs sharp words. Now, Long Ao Tian simply crossed his arms and watched at a side.
Long Ao Tian understood Wanyan Kangâs mind, but what Feng Qi Qi said was also correct! Wanyan Lie was between them. He was a presence that couldnât be ignored. However, Wanyan Kang would need to cross this pit. Escape wasnât a solution. Not to mention that he had Su Mei now!
Long Ao Tian watched the âplayâ. Feng Qi Qi continued to âscoldâ Su Mei.
âListen to bengong! From now on, youâre Bei Zhouâs grand princess Zheng Guo Feng Qi Qiâs godsister. In Bei Zhou, aside from bengong, youâre the second woman with the most noble identity.â
âThere are many people now who want to form a relationship with bengong! There are countless of young masters from those great officials, nobles, general and princes. After two days, bengong will make a feast to enjoy the flower to specifically invite the young masters over to let you choose. No need to be afraid of not finding a good one! Just wait with a peaceful mind till the marriage and to be the bride! A certain someone doesnât like you. Bengong must seek a good marriage for you to let someone see!â
Feng Qi Qiâs demeanor was serious as never before, making Su Mei panic, âMiss, I, I donât want to marry anyone else. I donât want to!â
âSu Mei, if you want, you still have to do it. If you donât want, you still have to do it. Itâs like what Xiaoyao wang said, a man should get married on coming age, and so should a girl. You followed bengong for so long. Even Su Yue had married. If you continue to delay like this, wouldnât it be wasting your youth?! Just now, didnât you have great ambition and magnificent aspiration to go find ten handsome men?! Although, bengong canât fulfil this wish, but bengong still can find you an ideal husband.â
âMiss, I was just joking. I just want to make him angry!â
âSince you want to angry him, why the need to joke? Isnât it better to be direct?! This matter is set! Ao Tian, what do you say about my opinion?â
âI support Qing Qingâs decision with both hands. Why donât Xiaoyao wang stay to drink Su Meiâs wedding wine before leaving?! After all, you were old friends...â
The cold âold friendsâ from Long Ao Tian thoroughly ripped Wanyan Kang and Su Meiâs relationship apart and divided it cleanly.
A pain he never had before appeared in Wanyan Kangâs heart. Thinking that Su Mei would become someone elseâs bride, his heart ached like there was ten million of needles piercing it. No, he didnât want to see her enter anotherâs sedan chair!â
âI changed my mind!â Wanyan Kang went forward and held Su Mei in his arms, âI want to marry her! Right away! Immediately!â
Wanyan Kang let Su Meiâs tears froze. She didnât dare to believe her ears. Wanyan Kang wanted to marry her? Was this true?
âGood!â Although she said âgoodâ, but Feng Qi Qi reached out and pulled Su Mei over.
âSince Xiaoyao wang wants to marry Su Mei, you canât have less than three matchmakers and the sending of the six kinds of bridal gifts! Not anyone can marry bengongâs sister! If Xiaoyao wang doesnât show sincerity, bengong wouldnât agree!â
Wanyan Kang finally understood that the words he just said to Su Mei completely offended Feng Qi Qi. Now, she was obviously making things difficult for him!
It served him right. Why did he have such a bad mouth?! How come he had forgotten that Feng Qi Qi was someone who protected her people the most?! Even if Feng Qi Qi didnât want to let Su Mei be sad and would support them, but she wouldnât let him get the beauty so easily.
âGood!â Wanyan Kang nodded, âI will agree on everything cousin in law wants!â
âDeal! Then, wait till I know how to hold this wedding. I will tell you then! However, from now on, you and Su Mei should not meet anymore. If you see the bride before marriage, it would be unlucky. For your happiness, asking Xiaoyao wang to please endure! Su Yue, send the guest...â
After an order, Wanyan Kang had been sent out of Tingsong building like that.
What see the bride before marriage was unlucky? Nalan Xin and Su Yue confessed during the day and married at night! This was obviously Feng Qi Qiâs excuse!
âCousin brother, cousin brother, help me, ah! Cousin brother!â Now, Wanyan Kang could only ask Long Ao Tian for help. It was just, Feng Qi Qi opened her mouth. This cousin of brother of him was a recognized âhenpecked maleâ. Naturally, he would stand at Feng Qi Qiâs side now. Otherwise, he (LAT) would also suffer liability because of Wanyan Kang.
âYouâre on your own! Wife is very angry. The consequences are very serious!â
It wasnât that Long Ao Tian didnât want to help Wanyan Kang. In fact, Su Mei was also hot tempered and provoked Wanyan Kang.
However, Feng Qi Qi was anxious to marry Su Mei lest to let Wanyan Kang ran away. This marriage fell through. After all, a girl couldnât afford to have her time spent. Su Mei was already seventeen or eighteen. So, this time Long Ao Tian stood at Feng Qi Qiâs side. The wifeâs idea, of course, he must understand plus support it!
Inside the room, Su Mei somewhat didnât have the heart to. She knew that Feng Qi Qi did it for her own good, but seeing Feng Qi Qi make things difficult for Wanyan Kang, she would still feel heartache.
Seeing Su Meiâs expression, Feng Qi Qi sighed, âIndeed, itâs hard to keep a woman of age at home, ah! Your feelings are all on your face!â
âMiss...in fact, wangye is also very pitiful.â
How could Feng Qi Qi not know what Su Mei meant. Wanyan Kang was the weirdo of the imperial family. Being born in the imperial family, but he kept a clean heart. This was very rare. Precisely because Wanyan Kang was like this that he was able to become Long Ao Tian and Feng Qi Qiâs friend.
The blow Wanyan Lie brought Wanyan Kang was very great this time. He wanted to leave to drive away cares. Usually, Feng Qi Qi would support it very much, but she wished that Wanyan Kang would leave with Su Mei.
Su Mei followed Feng Qi Qi for so long. Of course, Feng Qi Qi knew what she (SM) was thinking in her heart.
On one hand, Su Mei loved Wanyan Kang deeply and was willing to stay with him and face any difficulties. However, on the other hand, Su Mei also knew that she was Feng Qi Qiâs personal maid. She knew her responsibilities very well. Besides, Feng Qi Qi was pregnant now. She (FQQ) was now in more need of having people to care for her. This was also the reason why Su Mei couldnât leave at this time.
On one hand was the person she loved deeply. On the other hand, was the affection for Feng Qi Qi. Caught in the middle, Su Mei didnât know how to choose and was in a very difficult position. Although, she wanted to be with Wanyan Kang, but in the end, she would still choose the stay with Feng Qi Qi. Not for anything else, but the reminder of sir Mozun on his death made was enough to let her unable to put Feng Qi Qi down.
