Chapter 125 Deng Ping's Background Revealed
"The master of the Feng family has many female relatives in his backyard. The mistress of the family has two sons and two daughters. This Miss Feng Jiu is the youngest daughter of Madam Feng. She has been raised by her side since she was a child and has been brought up very carefully. My sister-in-law said that she is a gentle and humble girl, and she likes her very much."

Hearing that this Miss Feng Jiu was the daughter who was raised with great care by the Feng family, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

"Such a good girl, I'm afraid she will look down on us merchants."

"Not necessarily. Recently, something happened in the Feng family. I heard that Lord Feng wants to let Miss Feng Qi, the daughter of his concubine, become the concubine of Prince Yi."

"Prince Yi's concubine? He must be over 40 years old, right?"

"Who said it wasn't true? Madam Feng was afraid that her little daughter would be used as a favor by Lord Feng sooner or later, so she was anxious to arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed a strange man."

Jiang Shiyuan's words made Jiang Huaiyi suddenly understand, and some hope was rekindled in his heart, so he said to her.

"Mrs. Feng's thoughts are justified. People in the officialdom are more ruthless than us businessmen. It is common for them to use their own daughters as stepping stones!"

"Aunt is right, so let's wait and see. Maybe Madam Feng is more anxious than us, and Cousin Yuankang's marriage may be successful!"

Jiang Huaiyi nodded, she was also looking forward to it.

Then she sat for a while and then got up and left. After she left, Liuhua brought some hot water and helped Jiang Shiyuan wash and change clothes.

"Miss, do you want Miss Feng Jiu to marry you?"

"I hadn't thought of this before. If my cousin's wife hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that my cousin Yuankang had this idea. However, I think it's a good match. Although my cousin's family is a business family, they have a solid family background, and my aunt and uncle are kind. The most important thing is that my cousin is an only child. If they manage well, their life may not be worse than those big families in Xijing City!"

Marrying into a family like King Yi would only make things more glorious if she were to tell others about it.

But the reality is that the hard days there are unknown to outsiders, and she has deeply experienced this in her previous life, so if Mrs. Feng really has this idea, she would be happy to facilitate this marriage!
Liuhua nodded, thinking that the girl's words made sense, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

"The girl is sincerely doing this for the good of her family, but I'm afraid it will take some thought and effort for the fourth girl."

"She has too many twists and turns. I wanted to help her in the past so that the brothers and sisters of my second uncle's family could live a comfortable life. But she is obviously not the type to live a stable life. Aunt also saw it, so she has not revealed the families she had chosen before. Just look at her expression today and you can tell that she may have other thoughts about cousin Yuankang. If aunt wants to cut the Gordian knot, I am afraid that Fourth Sister's marriage may not be what she wants."

Liuhua found Jiang Shiyuan's analysis very reasonable.

It is really not advisable to have any more contact with these four girls, otherwise if they scratch someone one day, I am afraid they won’t be able to deal with them for justice!
"Girl, your hair is done, you can lie down now."

"Ah."

After saying that, Jiang Shiyuan went to the bed and fell asleep quietly, dreamlessly all night until dawn.

August is already halfway through, and the royal family has welcomed two of the most exciting events.

One is the Queen Mother's birthday celebration, and the other is Princess Qinghuan's marriage.

There were only a few days left, so the palace construction officials were extremely busy, but Princess Qinghuan, the main person involved, didn't care at all.

Sometimes even Jiang Shiyuan would forget that the princess was about to get married, because there was no change in the princess's mansion at all, and she didn't even attach as much importance to this matter as she did to herself.

Therefore, when Jiang Shiyuan came to visit Cheng Dengping that day, she was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Jiang family's eldest daughter Jiang Shiyuan meets Master Cheng."

He has not yet married and cannot be called the prince consort, so it is only natural to call him Master Cheng. Instead, Cheng Dengping was a little reserved and saluted to Jiang Shiyuan with his fists.

"Miss Jiang, you are too polite. You are the princess's guest of honor, so I should be the first to say hello."

Jiang Shiyuan had an indescribable feeling towards Cheng Dengping, probably because when he met him before, he was always the gentle, shy and taciturn man beside his second sister. But now, he was about to become the prince consort of a country, but the sadness between his brows was so deep that it seemed difficult to dispel.

"I haven't had the chance to congratulate Master Cheng in person yet. I've known the princess for so many years, and I've never seen her pay attention to other men. Master Cheng has won her favor, and the future will definitely be a story of deep love between us!"

When Cheng Dengping heard this, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Ever since he entered the princess's mansion, people have said that he has a good life and great fortune, but if he could choose, he would rather be an ordinary scholar outside than be this useless prince consort.

Therefore, he replied with a slightly pleading look in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang, you are so kind. I have something else to do so I won't delay your conversation with the princess. I will be leaving first."

After saying that, he left. When he left, just looking at his back, one could feel that his steps were a little unsteady. Jiang Shiyuan sighed in his heart.

Before she could even sigh, she heard a voice behind her.

"what happened?"

When Princess Qinghuan came over, she happened to see the two people greeting each other, and the regret on Jiang Shiyuan's face caught her eye. If it were someone else, she would have been dissatisfied a long time ago, but because this person was Jiang Shiyuan, she asked this question.

After Jiang Shiyuan bowed, he did not hide anything and asked.

"Princess, you don't seem to care much about this marriage, and Master Cheng doesn't seem to be happy about getting married. Why do you have to be together? You are a princess of a country, don't you even have the opportunity to spend your life with the person you love?"

Hearing her words, Princess Qinghuan smiled calmly.

Then he glanced in the direction Cheng Dengping left and continued speaking.

"It is precisely because I am a princess of a country that all the people who have supported me are the ones I protect. If I can resolve a conflict by getting married, I don't mind. Besides, I don't have anyone I like, so there is no question of whether I feel wronged or not."

"Master Cheng's identity is very special?"

"Well, he is the illegitimate son of the King of Han who has been lost for many years."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan was shocked. The King of Han had only one son and one daughter, both of whom were raised in Hanzhou. Everyone in the world knew this. How could a so-called illegitimate child suddenly appear?

Jiang Shiyuan expressed his doubts.

But the person who said this was Princess Qinghuan, who held a lot of power in the Dasui Dynasty. Therefore, since she could make the conclusion, it must be true.

It turned out that an ordinary scholar was the illegitimate son of the King of Han. Thinking about the rebellion of the King of Han in his previous life, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
