Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 150 Father and Daughter
The Rong family.

"My daughter, are you truly determined to marry into the Duke of Qi's mansion?"

In a newly built mansion, an atmosphere of luxury and grandeur permeates and flows everywhere.

A sense of wealth, splendor, and refinement permeates every corner of this mansion.

In one of the antique-style main rooms, the Rong family patriarch was looking at his daughter with a distressed expression, earnestly advising, "The wife of the Duke of Qi is not someone easy to deal with!"

"Daughter, you need to think this through!"

"If you marry him, you'll definitely suffer!"

Master Rong is the biological father of Rong Feiyan and Consort Rong in the palace.

Although the Rong family is currently prosperous, it is not thriving in terms of population or offspring. At the very least, the main branch of the Rong family, the direct line of the patriarch, is not thriving.

Because the Rong family prospered thanks to Rong Feiyan's older sister, Rong Zhixian, who entered the palace and became a Noble Consort, the Rong clan, which rose to prominence, was a newly established family with the main lineage of Master Rong as the core, and the rest of the Rong clan members surrounding it.

Because of Consort Rong, the entire Rong family naturally revolved around Master Rong.

However, Master Rong lost his wife early in life, and now he has no children other than his two daughters, Rong Feiyan. Therefore, no matter how hard Master Rong works after he has gained power, he is still the same as before!
There was absolutely no gain!
In the end, Old Master Rong had no choice but to accept his fate.

In recent days, many members of the Rong clan have been approaching Master Rong under the guise of concern, but their real aim is to have their children adopted by him so that they can inherit the Rong family's business.

Master Rong was well aware of this.

However, since his family needed to continue their lineage, he could only turn a blind eye and choose the best option from among them.

However, before Master Rong could figure out the matter of succession, his beloved daughter Rong Feiyan presented him with a difficult problem.

She has her eye on Qi Heng, the most handsome man in Tokyo!
The arrogant Rong Feiyan was unaware of the huge vortex behind Qi Heng. She only thought about his handsome face, outstanding knowledge, and strong family background. After weighing the options, Rong Feiyan was pleasantly surprised to find that Qi Heng was indeed the best choice for her to marry.

Therefore, after returning from the polo match, Rong Feiyan immediately grabbed Master Rong's sleeve and expressed her wish.

However, Master Rong had his doubts about this.

After all, the Rong family head who was able to raise his eldest daughter and send her to the palace was no ordinary person. If Rong Feiyan hadn't devoted most of her energy to her eldest daughter, Rong Zhixian, she wouldn't have become so naive and innocent.

Of course, there were also some other reasons, such as the Rong family's later prosperity and the changes in the surrounding environment, which led to Master Rong's neglect of Rong Feiyan.

"No, Dad, I want Brother Yuanruo!"

Although Rong Feiyan was arrogant, she was also somewhat simple-minded. Once she set her mind on something, she would charge forward foolishly without any scheming or cunning. Just like now, after seeing Qi Heng's appearance, she was fixated on him and didn't care about anything else.

"Ah~"

Seeing his daughter's bewitched state, Master Rong could only sigh in his heart...

admit!

"This... okay!"

When he looked at Rong Feiyan, Master Rong still felt a little soft-hearted, because he felt sorry for his youngest daughter. If it weren't for his mistakes, how could she have developed such a personality?

Have you not seen the methods employed by Consort Rong in the palace?

That was Master Rong's most perfect achievement!
"Since you've set your sights on that kid Qi Heng, let's start making our plans!"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Master Rong's aged eyes.

"Father, you mean?"

Rong Feiyan knew she wasn't quick-witted like her father and sister, so she wisely refrained from acting rashly. Instead, she explained her needs to her family and let them plan for her. "Feiyan, I think you should know about our family's situation."

Instead of immediately revealing his solution, Master Rong began to explain the current situation facing the Rong family.

"Although our family is now prominent and wealthy, the root of it is still because your sister gained the Emperor's favor in the palace and formed an extraordinary bond with him."

"but!"

"In other people's eyes, our family is still that country bumpkin who just crawled out of the mud, still smelling of dirt, and is not presentable!"

"Dad~"

Rong Feiyan let out a mournful cry, clearly understanding what Master Rong meant.

"so!"

Master Rong took a breath and continued, "If you really can't live without Qi Heng, then daughter, you'll have to put aside your pride and dignity this time!"

"Father, you mean?"

"Actually, even without Father saying it, Feiyan, you can tell that Qi Heng's mother, Princess Pingning, looks down on us!"

"If we want to decide this matter openly, that's absolutely impossible!"

Rong Feiyan lowered her head, feeling extremely distressed.

"Father, if..."

"Let me finish speaking, Father!"

Master Rong stopped his daughter from backing down and continued, "Therefore, if we want to accomplish this, we can only use other means, plus your sister's help!"

The old man lowered his eyelids and immediately began to plot: "First of all, we need to have the servants spread the word about you and Qi Heng, deliberately making people outside think that the Qi family and our family have something going on!"

"Then, when the matter spreads further and further and becomes uncontrollable, we will have to pretend to be victims and go to the palace to beg your sister to take justice!"

"At that time, we'll have your sister plead with the Emperor, asking him to help us out since our reputation has been damaged. Even if we've made a mistake, we can still make a mistake and just agree to your marriage!"

"By then, when the palace issues an edict, even if Princess Pingning of the Duke of Qi wants to deny it, she probably won't be able to!"

At this point, Master Rong still looked at Rong Feiyan with reluctance and said, "However, even if your relationship succeeds at that time, you will probably still suffer some hardships after entering the Duke of Qi's mansion!"

"Father, I'm not afraid!"

Upon hearing that her wish had been fulfilled, Rong Feiyan could hardly imagine what would happen next!
She quickly replied sweetly, "Besides, I believe that when the time comes, he... he will stand up for me..."

Rong Feiyan's voice grew softer and softer, but the tone in it was exceptionally sweet.

"Ugh……"

Having experienced all walks of life, Master Rong could immediately see his daughter's current state, which could be summed up in two words—naive!
However, Master Rong had carefully considered the matter. Even if the Duke of Qi's mansion was dissatisfied at that time, they would not dare to make things difficult for the sake of the Rong family, or rather, for the sake of Consort Rong in the palace.

Otherwise, if something really happens, even if they are a duke's mansion, they can't afford to take the blame!

……

Thus, unbeknownst to anyone, the mother and daughter of the Prince of Yong's mansion and the father and daughter of the Rong family began a strange and unusual struggle.

However, the latter clearly did not expect that the former's target seemed to include their family as well!

I asked the editor, and he said the book will be published on Sanjiang next week, so it probably won't be available until the week after May Day... (Perfect, I'll see if I can save some drafts during this holiday!)
