Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 216 Ling Buhuo’s past and falling out with mother and daughter

"What? Because of me? Did you decide to marry me then?" Cheng Shaoshang said in surprise

"Yes, the reason why your second aunt was arrested was because I wanted to help you vent your anger. Otherwise, she would not have been arrested, because at that time, I had already planned to marry you." Ling Buhuo said directly.

"Why? I want to know why? Why do you think I am suitable?" Cheng Shaoshang asked
  "Haha, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a little boy who had no father since he was a child. His mother also died when he was five years old."

"He managed to survive by relying on the pity of the villagers and eating from hundreds of families. Later, the village suffered a disaster and every household had no food left."

"This boy had no choice but to become a beggar. Because he was young and couldn't rob other beggars, he had to find a way to get into the dog hole of a wealthy family and then fight the dogs for food."

"He didn't dare steal food from people because he was afraid of being beaten to death, so he could only steal food from dogs so that even if he was discovered, no one would hit him hard."

"Later, there were even some gentlemen who brought dog bowls to him to feed him, just to have fun, and he lived in such a muddle-headed way."

"Until one day, someone suddenly came to him and said he was sent by his father to take him back. After he learned the news, he had no reaction at all."

"He just followed the man in a daze. Fortunately, the man didn't lie to him. He really has a father, and he no longer lacks food."

"He still remembers the first meal at his father's house, where he almost pushed himself to death. In the end, a woman helped him find a doctor, and then he was rescued."

"It was at that time that she knew that the woman in front of her was her new mother. The reason why she came back was not her father's intention, but this new mother's intention."

"He was very disappointed at the time, but he quickly cheered up. Wasn't it because his father abandoned him because he didn't like him?"

"Since he already knew it, why should he be sad? From this day on, he has a father, an mother, and a big brother."

"His eldest brother is a real genius. He can learn anything at once, so his father has high hopes for him, and he has never let his father down."

"But I was not convinced. How could my brother get everything? So I worked hard at that time just to surpass him."

"But, no matter how hard I try, I'm always worse than him. I obviously work harder than him, but why, why can't I be better than him?"

"Later, my elder brother went to the battlefield, and I followed him. I thought I could finally compete with him, but in the end I still failed miserably."

"Later I gave up and stopped fighting with him. From that time on, I became his confidant, or you could say he was his dog."

"Over the years, I have stepped in to resolve any issues that he did not intervene in, but he did not treat me badly. It can be said that the prosperity and wealth I have now are all because of him."

"His Majesty is very fond of him. Because of his words, I, who was barely qualified to be a marquis, was actually granted the title of marquis. Because he wanted to investigate the case, I became the left prisoner of the court."

"Really, I'm obviously telling you a story, but why did I tell the truth as I said it? Do you understand now why I said we are suitable?" Ling Buhuo said with a bitter smile.

At this time, Cheng Shaoshang was dumbfounded, because she could never imagine that the man in front of her had such a difficult time, that he had lived such a hard life before?

At the same time, she also understood why this man fell in love with her. She had to admit that her experience was really similar to that of this man, but he was many times more difficult than her.

"Huh, thank you. This feeling is really comfortable. I have never mentioned these words to anyone in all these years. But I said it today and I feel a lot more relaxed."

"Don't worry, I won't force you. If you really don't like it, I can leave. You don't have to worry about your mother, I will take care of it." After Ling Buhuo finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard behind him, "Do you want to propose based on this story? Can't you say something else?"

"Huh? You, haha, yes, it's my fault, my fault. Then Niao Niao, are you willing to be the queen of my Hou Mansion?" Ling Buhuo asked with a smile.
  "I am willing, but can you really convince my mother?" Niao Niao said softly.
  "Of course, Marquis Qu Ling, Mrs. Cheng, have you heard enough? Can you come out and see me?" Ling Buhuo said to the door with a smile.
  The door to the room was opened. Cheng Shi's expression was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Yuanyi's expression was normal.

"Father, Mom, have you been eavesdropping just now? How could you?" Shao Shang became anxious at first, but of course, most of them were a little embarrassed.

"Well, Marquis Xiangwu, actually we didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but when we got to the door, you were talking, talking, so we didn't bother you." Cheng Shi explained
  "It's okay, you're here just in time. What do you think of this marriage?" Ling Buyu said.

"Well, this, I think, what do you think about that lady?" Cheng Shi asked

"Marquis Xiangwu, I have listened to what you just said. Although you are very sincere, we still cannot agree. My daughter's temperament makes it difficult for her to take on such a big responsibility." Xiao Yuanyi refused.

Cheng Shaoshang became anxious upon hearing this, but at this time Ling Buhuo was the first to say, "Mrs. Cheng, naturally only I know whether this lady is suitable for her, so thank you for your kindness."

"Also, I know your family's affairs very well, so you'd better not speak on this issue. You should save these words of yours for Mrs. Sisi to tell her husband when she gets married."

"Marquis Qu Ling, I now ask you to tell me from the position of a father, what is your opinion on this marriage?" Ling Buhuo looked at Cheng Shidao with a serious look on his face.

After hearing these words, Cheng Shaoshang was no longer anxious, but looked at his father. At this time, Xiao Yuanyi knew that something was wrong, and Ling Buhuo's move was too sinister.

At this time, Cheng Shi was in a dilemma. Although he was a little slow to react, he was not confused. Of course he knew the trap in Ling Buhuo's words, so he didn't speak for a while.

But at this time, Shaoshang didn't want to wait any longer, and directly said to Ling Buhuo, "Are you really planning to marry me?"

"Of course, you are the most suitable girl for me in the world, of course I want to marry you." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, then I agree. You don't have to worry about what they think. Since they haven't cared about me since I was a child, they have no right to care about me now. I have the final say on my marriage." Cheng Shaoshang said

"Niao Niao, do you know what you are talking about? Are you crazy?" When Xiao Yuanyi heard this, she was so angry that she didn't even care that Ling Buhuo was present. "I'm not crazy, I'm very awake now, I know what I'm doing, but it's my mother, do you know what you're doing?" Cheng Shaoshang asked.

"You, you still dare to talk back? You, your agreement is useless. Without our nods, you can't get married. You are still young. I am doing this for your own good. You will understand in the future."

"Have you forgotten who he is? A few days ago, he was jealous of others in the brothel. Have you forgotten all this?" Xiao Yuanyi said loudly

"I know, I don't care. Mom, you clearly heard what I just said. Tell me, with my temperament, how difficult is it for me to find such a husband?"

"You only consider the reputation of the Cheng family, but have you considered me? If I miss this time, will I ever have such a good marriage in the future? Have you ever thought about this?"

"You haven't thought about it. You only think about your face and the Cheng family's face. Just like when you chose to abandon me, you never considered me!" Cheng Shaoshang asked.

"You, you treacherous son, today, me!" After hearing this, Xiao Yuanyi raised his hand and was about to hit him.

At this time, Shao Shang had closed her eyes in sadness, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't feel any pain. She opened her eyes in confusion.

Then he saw that his mother's wrist was caught by someone, and at this time the man said, "Mrs. Cheng, you have gone too far. Because Shao Shang is your daughter, I have to tolerate everything."

"But you are pushing your limits now. She is not just your daughter now, she is my wife, the future queen of my Xiangwu Marquis Mansion. You can't hit her anymore now," Ling Buhuo said.

"Marquis Xiangwu, are you going too far? Shao Shang is my daughter, how can I not beat him?" Xiao Yuanyi said

"Mrs. Cheng, you are right. We are not married yet. You can indeed educate your daughter, but if you have to help me educate my wife, then I can only help you educate your son." Ling Buhuo said

"Marquis Xiangwu, that's enough! Are you asking for marriage today, or are you here to cause trouble?" Cheng Shidao
  "Marquis Qu Ling, don't ask me this, it depends on your wife's wishes." Ling Buhuo said

After Cheng Shi heard this, he pulled his wife's hand and winked. When Xiao Yuanyi saw this, she knew that she couldn't be tough with him, otherwise her daughter would only push her further and further away.

So she said again, "Niao Niao, you are still young and you don't understand this. What he is saying now is nonsense, but what about in the future? You have to believe in my mother, she will not harm you."

"Mom, you just listened to his story once, so let me tell you another one. I have never had a full meal since I can remember."

"Not only was there no food to eat, but even the food that was delivered was either rotten or smelly, but even so, they never let me eat enough."

"Whenever I get sick, I always have to bear it by myself. If I can bear it, I will live. If I can't bear it, I will die. When I was sick, I kept thinking, where are my parents? Why did they do this to me?"

"Why don't you ever ask if I'm doing well? I'm like a wild child that no one wants. No one cares about me at all."

"Over the years, no one has taught me what the rules are, and I have never respected my elders, because there are no elders in this family who deserve my respect."

"I have been living like this for so many years. Slowly I grew up, and then you suddenly came back. You don't know how happy I was at that time. I finally no longer have to be a wild child."

"But what I didn't expect was that after my mother came back, she would dislike me no matter how she looked at her. No matter what I did, it was wrong. No matter what, no matter what, it must be me who was wrong."

"What's even more ridiculous is that for the sake of her face and to prevent others from saying that she was harsh on her second wife, she chose to be harsh on her daughter, who had never taken care of her for a day when she was a child."

"What I want to say is that I have passed the age where I need parental education. Since you never took care of me when I needed it, why bother taking care of me now?"

"For my own good? It's really for my own good. Why did you keep me back then? What's the reason? Aren't you afraid that your third brother will be adopted by your second uncle? Just because I'm a girl, so it's not important, right?"

"It doesn't matter, I am indeed not as important as the third brother, but since you have made your choice back then, what are you going to do today?" Cheng Shaoshang said with some self-deprecation.
  After hearing this, Xiao Yuanyi wanted to take action again, but after thinking about it, he put it down, and then said, "Okay, you're right, I won't stop you anymore, you're right, I don't care about your marriage! "

"Whoever you want to marry will be married to you, but don't regret it in the future!"

"Mrs. Cheng can rest assured that I will not make her regret it. I never promise anything. After all, there may be variables in everything."

"But today, there is one thing I can promise. Shao Shang, please listen carefully. You are the queen of my Xiangwu Marquis Mansion now, in the future, and forever." Ling Buhuo solemnly said to Shao Shang.

"Well, I believe you. I believe I won't choose the wrong person." Shaoshang said with some emotion.

"Okay, Shao Shang, do you plan to live here? Or should I find another house for you?" Ling Buhuo asked.

"Hey, Marquis Xiangwu, you can get over it now. This Niao Niao is also my daughter, so how can she live elsewhere? I am Niao Niao's father, don't worry." Cheng Shi suddenly said
  Ling Buhuo didn't speak after hearing this, but looked at Shao Shang, who whispered, "I'd better live at home."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you and live at home. By the way, Mrs. Cheng, what I just said was not a joke. When I come next time, if my wife is injured, I will pay back tenfold."

"Okay, I have to go tell my mother. When the time comes, these three books and six etiquettes cannot be prepared in a short while, so I have to start early." Ling Buhuo said

"Well, don't worry, I'll be fine, but aren't you going to take me to meet you?" Cheng Shaoshang said coyly.
  "Hey, look at my brain, let's go see my mother together." Ling Buhuo said

Ling Buhuo took Shao Shang out of the room, and at this time Cheng Shicai said, "Madam, calm down, or you can scold me, but don't hold it in, it will be bad for your health if you hold it in." "

"Husband, do you think I was really wrong back then? If I had persisted just a little longer, I wouldn't have been like this today?" Xiao Yuanyi asked.
