Chapter 387 The unlucky person who lost his innocent life——Meng Xiuyan 3
Otherwise, a poor scholar like me would have no way of fighting against their giant.
As for if he passed the palace examination and then fought against their family, he would not be able to resist.
After all, their network of connections is wider than I thought, and I am a farmer with no one to rely on. Not only can I not get revenge, I am afraid that I will have to sacrifice the lives of their entire family.
"Mr. Meng, are you engaged or married?"
When a gentle voice sounded, Meng Yanshu immediately withdrew the anger in his heart.
He smiled and replied, "Meng is focusing on his studies and is currently unengaged and not in a marriage relationship."
"Then how do you look at me, sir?" Rong Yuexian asked with a smile.
Meng Yanshu snorted in his heart, pretending to be confused, and asked with a smile: "What do you mean, young lady? I don't understand."
"Young Master saved Yue Xian from a difficult situation, and Yue Xian is willing to marry him."
"Girl, you're joking. You look like someone from a wealthy family, judging by your attire. I'm just a poor scholar and can't give you the life you want."
"As for the young lady's offer of her body, I don't want to take advantage of her. With the money as a reward, I'm very satisfied. Young lady, please don't tease me with your words."
"Sir, I'm serious. I'm willing to marry you." Rong Yuexian's cheeks flushed as she spoke, because she could hardly bear it anymore. She said these words with a stiff upper lip.
"Is what the girl said true?" Meng Yanshu had almost finished reading and asked tentatively.
"Absolutely true." Rong Yuexian looked at Meng Yanshu seriously. "If you are free, come with me to my home today to discuss the marriage with my father. What do you think?"
"Miss, our family is really poor. Are you really willing?" Meng Yanshu asked again.
"Yes." Rong Yuexian answered without hesitation.
"Okay, since you are so sincere, I will accept the marriage."
Meng Yanshu thought in his heart, since you are looking for death, don't blame me.
When Rong Yuexian heard Meng Yanshu agree, he felt uneasy for some reason.
She just thought that her marriage would not be so smooth, and she did not take the poor scholar in front of her seriously.
Although Meng Yanshu was a juren, in the eyes of the Rong family, he was not as prestigious as their chief steward.
Killing him would be a simple matter. She didn't think this poor scholar had the ability to fight against the Rong family.
But she forgot a saying: ants can kill elephants.
After the two of them had discussed it, Rong Yuexian proposed to take Meng Yanshu to her home.
Meng Yanshu did not refuse and agreed, then got on the Rong family's carriage.
As soon as they left, Xihe took Fengqi to watch the fun.
"Sir, don't be nervous. My parents are very easy to talk to. They have already agreed to our marriage."
Meng Yanshu didn't say anything, but smiled at her instead.
It's easy to talk to, but that's for you, not me.
When they arrived at the place, the two got off the carriage.
Meng Yanshu glanced at the house in front of him and thought to himself, I wonder if the owner of this house will change in the future.
"Mr. Meng, please come in. The master and his wife are already waiting in the front hall."
"please."
Meng Yanshu went to the front hall with Rong Yuexian to meet her parents and discuss their marriage.
Zhou Wenjie was still in the brothel, being affectionate with his sweetheart.
Xihe and his friend felt that there was nothing interesting about discussing the marriage, so they went to a brothel.
When she saw the two of them, she was dazzled by the halos above their heads.
"Master, there's something wrong with the auras of the two of them."
"Yeah." Xihe nodded and said, "This is a fictional world. This is their second life."
"Second life?" Feng Qi was surprised.
"Yes, the second life."
"So were they together in their first life?"
"Together. This is the world of a novel. It's the story of a young man and his courtesan."
After hearing what Xihe said, Feng Qi's expression became very strange.
Who could have written about the dashing young man and his courtesan in the capital?
The male protagonist is the son of a general. Even if he is the son of a better businessman, he would not marry a courtesan as his wife.
If there is a banquet and she goes to the palace to attend it, people will dislike her if she, a courtesan, sits with those noble ladies.
"They are not from the same circle, how can they coexist peacefully?"
"Don't you think this is challenging?" Xihe asked with a smile.
"It's challenging, but I just think it's a bit ridiculous. It's not realistic at all!"
"Of course the world in the book is unrealistic, you forgot." Xihe reached out and tapped her forehead a few times.
"That's right. In the world of books, there are all kinds of reasons. It's not uncommon to marry an oiran as a wife."
"Then what happened to them in their previous lives?" Feng Qi asked curiously.
"As a general's son, can his parents really tolerate that courtesan?"
"No, it's impossible for them to live a happy and fulfilling life like what's written in the books." Although Feng Qi has never been in a relationship, she knows that a person's life is full of changes.
No matter how much a person loved someone before, after a long time and more experiences, this once sincere love will change.
"A lot of problems arose in the later stages. She was once a top courtesan and didn't understand the ways of the imperial court at all."
"I don't know how to be a mistress of a household, let alone how to host a banquet."
"She's completely clueless about how to treat people. She even made a lot of jokes, which made Zhou Wenjie feel annoyed."
"Then master, do you mean that Zhou Wenjie wants to escape the fate in the book?" Feng Qi received the entire plot that Xihe passed to her, and she asked with a smile.
"Yeah, in their previous life, Zhou Wenjie's head seemed to be split open."
"On the one hand, he wants to be in love with his destined heroine, but on the other hand, he wants to escape his original fate and be with Rong Yuexian."
"In his heart, he still wants a mistress who is of equal status, not the courtesan as his wife."
"But he couldn't bear to give up this courtesan and wanted to marry Rong Yuexian."
"But Rong Yuexian didn't want to share a husband with someone else, which led to the current mess."
"That would be interesting."
"But Zhou Wenjie's dreams are too beautiful. He wants it all: the courtesan and Rong Yuexian. He wants to monopolize all the beauty in the world."
"Who says it's not? But things are not as easy as he thinks."
"Rong Yuexian is quite interesting. On the one hand, she can't bear to give up his feelings, but on the other hand, she wants to marry him out of spite."
"I'm married but I can't bear to leave him and I'm still in contact with him."
"Actually, they're both the same kind of people. It's only right that they be tied together. Don't go out and harass others."
