Chapter 158

Seeing Wu Xiangling like this, Zhou Ran shook her head and said, "Okay, don't feel bad. I came to you today because I have good news to tell you."

Wu Xiangling looked at Zhou Ran: "What's the good news?"

She didn't think about the good news Zhou Ran said about herself at all, so when she heard Zhou Ran say that Fei Nanxing wanted to marry her, she was almost stunned.

After a while, she said in surprise: "Aran, are you telling the truth?"

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "It's absolutely true. The old gentleman came to my door today and told me personally that if your family agrees, he will have someone come to propose marriage as soon as possible."

When Wu Xiangling heard this, he was happy at first. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No, I can't marry him. It will hurt him."

Zhou Ran heard this and said: "Xiang Ling, you don't have to think so much. Mr. Fei and the old man know about the Yao family's affairs. They don't care about it. Besides, besides the Queen Mother, there is also an emperor in this world. No matter how arrogant the Yao family is, before the emperor You still have to be a little more restrained in front of me.”

Wu Xiangling slowly calmed down after hearing Zhou Ran's persuasion.

After a while, she wondered again: "Why is Mr. Fei willing to marry me? Does he know about the Yao family and wants to help me?"

"Of course he is willing to marry you because he likes you." Zhou Ran said with a smile: "The old man has been worrying about Mr. Fei's marriage in the past two years, but no matter what he says, he is not willing. This time he knows that the person he is marrying is You, his reaction will be different immediately."

Wu Xiangling felt a little sweet in her heart. Did he also have her in his heart?
Zhou Ran looked at the smile on Wu Xiangling's face, shook her head and said, "Xiang Ling, what do you mean? Are you willing to marry Mr. Fei? If you are willing, I will go to your second grandmother and ask her opinion. , settle this matter as soon as possible to avoid further setbacks.”

Wu Xiangling nodded sheepishly, "I'll take you to see my second grandma."

When Mrs. Wu heard from the maid next to her that Wu Xiangling had come with Zhou Ran, she frowned slightly, sat up from the couch, and ordered the maid to invite the person in.

"Xiang Ling, why are you here now?"

Wu Xiangling smiled shyly and said, "Second Grandma, it's Ah Ran who wants to see you for something."

This is similar to what Mrs. Wu guessed. She looked at Zhou Ran and said, "I wonder what Mrs. Ye wants from me?"

Zhou Ran said: "I want to tell the old lady about Xiang Ling's marriage."

This was different from what Mrs. Wu thought. She thought Zhou Ran wanted to ask her or Wu Shaoqing for help.

"Does Mrs. Ye have a suitable candidate?" Mrs. Wu recovered her thoughts and asked.

"What does the old lady think of this year's No. 3 Fei Nanxing? He is now a hostage in the Hanlin Academy. He is twenty-three this year. He has a handsome appearance and a gentle temper. He and Xiang Ling have met before in Nanxing County."

Mrs. Wu was satisfied with Fei Nanxing. Although her father was in the fourth rank, Wu Xiangling's father was only the seventh rank county magistrate.

Although Fei Nanxing does not have a strong family background, he is capable, and it is unknown whether he will be able to reach a high position by relying on himself in the future.

However... Mrs. Wu is worried that Fei Nanxing does not have any family background and may not be able to cope with the pressure from the Yao family.

"Does Fei Nanxing know about Young Master Yao Liu?"

"Don't worry, old lady, he knows." Zhou Ran said.

Madam Wu nodded and said: "In that case, why don't Madam Ye stay at home for a while. When our master comes back, I will discuss it with him and then give a reply to Madam Ye."

Mrs. Wu also wanted to settle this matter quickly.

Zhou Ran agreed, chatted with Mrs. Wu for a while, and then followed Wu Xiangling back to her yard.

Mrs. Wu gave orders to the maid. As soon as Wu Shaoqing returned home from work, he was invited to Mrs. Wu's room.

Wu Shaoqing sat down in Mrs. Wu's room, moistened her throat with the tea cup handed by the maid, and then asked: "Madam, why are you so anxious to see me?" Mrs. Wu told Wu Shaoqing about Fei Nanxing. .

After hearing this, Wu Shaoqing pondered for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "This marriage can be concluded."

Mrs. Wu worriedly said: "Then the Yao family..."

Wu Shaoqing waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, the Yao family is not the only one in this court."

In the past, he was unwilling to offend Taifu Yao and never chose to take sides because he did not believe in the emperor.

But the current emperor made him feel that he could not take risks and offend the queen mother and the Yao family. As long as he held the emperor tightly, the Yao family and the queen mother could not easily touch him.

What's more, he vaguely heard that the emperor was seriously ill before and it was Dr. Fei who saved the emperor.

If this is the case, then it would be even better for Wu Xiangling to marry Fei Yuyi's apprentice.

Mrs. Wu didn't know what Wu Shaoqing had in mind. After listening to Wu Shaoqing's words, he said, "Then I will go back to Mrs. Ye and ask him to tell Fei Nanxing the news and invite someone to propose marriage?"

Wu Shaoqing nodded: "Well, go ahead."

Zhou Ran got the news from Mrs. Wu and refused Mrs. Wu's invitation to stay for dinner. She got on the carriage and went directly to Fei Mansion.

Mr. Fei had been waiting for news about Zhou Ran. When he saw Zhou Ran, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? What did the Wu family say?"

Fei Nanxing also rarely showed a bit of nervousness on his face.

Seeing Zhou Ran nodding, Mr. Fei and Fei Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ran looked at the smiles on the faces of the two people and told the story about how Young Master Yao Liu went to Wu's house today to make a fuss about seeing Wu Xiangling.

"I'm afraid that Mr. Yao Liu will do something bad when he hears about this. You should be on guard."

"Okay, I understand." Mr. Fei said confidently: "I will solve this matter. You tell the Wu family not to worry."

Afterwards, Mr. Fei asked Zhou Ran to have dinner at home, but Zhou Ran still refused.

When Zhou Ran returned home, Ye Ximing was waiting for her. When he saw her coming in, Ye Ximing had a smile on his face, "You're back. Have you had dinner?"

Zhou Ran shook her head, "What about you?"

Ye Ximing said: "I'm waiting for you."

Zhou Ran knew this, so she smiled and went to have dinner with Ye Ximing.

At the dinner table, Zhou Ran told Ye Ximing what happened today, and Ye Ximing occasionally echoed a few words.

Three days later, when Ye Ximing and the others were busy with their work, a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy suddenly walked in. After turning his eyes on Ye Ximing and others, he finally landed on Fei Nanxing.

"Fei Nanxing, the emperor asked you to give a lecture. Quickly pack up and come with me to meet the emperor."

After Liu Xueshi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Pu Xiuwen was surprised for a moment, and finally his eyes turned to Ye Ximing and Fei Nanxing. He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother Fei, for being able to preach to the emperor so soon."

Xu Jin's expression changed several times, and he also congratulated Fei Nanxing.

Only Ye Ximing's face remained unchanged from beginning to end.
