Chapter 35 Marry into the Feng Family

Dream Pavilion was crowded with visitors at night. However, the noisy sound of drinking, laughing, and lewd chat didn't come through to Nanxin's elegant private house. Feng Qianmu deeply fell in love with Nianxin after meeting her many times. At first, he thought that she was just a beautiful woman in a brothel. However, he had never expected that she was more elegant and noble than the actual noble ladies. She was pure and charming but not gaudy, always having a decent smile and graceful manner. Nianxin was far away from those cheap and filthy prostitutes. Sometimes she was like an innocent fairy, and sometimes she was like a seductive witch. Feng Qianmu just sat there and watched her without doing anything else, but he felt so much in his heart. In the past, he surrounded himself with women all day as if he couldn't live without women. However, now he turned up his nose at other women. "Nianxin, will you marry me? I promise I will never look at other women again in my life." This was not the first time Feng Qianmu said such words. He had been so obsessed with Nianxin that he lost his mind. Nianxin smiled and shook her head with a trace of seduction in her eyes. As the saying goes—what one couldn't get was always the best. That's the kind of effect she's after. "Young Master Feng, you are joking again. I am just a prostitute." "You are different from them. I really like you." Feng Qianmu wanted to hug this beautiful woman so much, but he didn't have the nerve to do so. Nianxin was different from other prostitutes. She made a living as a performer but not a prostitute. She was noble and elegant. He felt like his hug would defile the pureness of her beauty. So far, he had never touched her, even those little hands. "Your family will never allow you to marry me." "Nianxin, I will convince my family as long as you say yes." "Young Master Feng, I will never see you again if you keep talking nonsense." "But Nianxin, don't you have any feelings for me?" "Of course. That's the reason why I keep meeting you." "Then Nianxin, why don't you want to be my wife?" "It's not that I don't want to, but that you are from a family of generals. My identity is not matched with yours. I only wish to be your confidante for a lifetime." "But Nianxin..." They were still talking when the door of Nianxin's room was kicked open all of a sudden. The quality of the door was excellent, but now it was entirely broken, showing the strength of this visitor. General Feng Qianchu appeared at the door. They hadn't seen his face clearly but heard his angry voice, "Which slut dares to seduce my brother?" Feng Qianmu was shocked. He was afraid that his eldest brother would hurt Nianxin, so he immediately rushed over to protect her. Of course, an ordinary person would be frightened at this moment. However, this was nothing for Nianxin, who had experienced so much. Nianxin didn't panic at all. She shook her head to signal Feng Qianmu to sit tight. Then she stood up slowly, approached Feng Qianchu, and then bowed to him gently. "General Feng, my name is Nianxin. It's an honor to meet you." She deliberately walked at a slow pace towards Feng Qianchu at the door, showing the beautiful movement of her slim waist, which looked graceful and enchanting without a hint of frivolousness. Standing in front of this general, Nianxin lifted her pure face that could drive any man crazy. Her charming eyes looked straight into Feng Qianchu's, and he blushed. Feng Qianchu's heart had not been touched in this way for more than 30 years. At this moment, the rhythm of his heartbeat was in disorder. He was furious when he arrived, but now he completely calmed down and even felt a little awkward. Surprisingly, this tough, hunky man looked kind of cute. He didn't expect that the cheap prostitute he had imaged would be such a pure and innocent woman acting gracefully. This woman had the temperament of a noble lady. She wore a red dress without any make-up or jewelry. A plain pearl hairpin was the only decoration for her hair that was tied in a simple bun. Her pure eyes were enchanting. Even noblewomen might not have her special temperament, not to mention prostitutes. At this moment, Feng Qianchu knew why his youngest brother was obsessed with Nianxin. She was so different. Looking at the man staring at her in a daze, Nianxin felt a little funny secretly. Apparently, he was just a foolish and boorish man. A decent smile on her face relieved him of embarrassment. Her action and smile touched Feng Qianchu's heart like those poppy flowers, beautiful but addicting. "General Feng, I don't mean to climb up by making friends with the Fengs." "Miss Nianxin, I apologize for being rude. Please forgive me." "Big brother, I really like Nianxin," Feng Qianmu interrupted their conversation to explain. Feng Qianchu grabbed his brother's back collar and left with him in a hurry. With his face blushing red, he was too embarrassed to face Nianxin any longer. He only wanted to escape as soon as possible. "Don't talk nonsense. Miss Nianxin, I'll take my brother home first. I will come to apologize in person next time." "General Feng, you don't have to worry about it. I have people to help me clean up." "Miss Nianxin, it's all my fault. I..." Feng Qianchu still wanted to explain. However, Nianxin bowed again gently. It's obvious that she wanted them to leave. "Goodbye, General Feng. Goodbye, Young Master Feng." The two young masters of the Fengs could only choose to leave. However, both of them had left their hearts in her place. As soon as they left, Xuan Zhi walked in. He habitually walked to Nianxin and sat down but looked upset. "Zhi, why are you frowning again?" "You know it's because of you." "Zhi, you should never fall in love with me. I turned into a heartless woman long ago." "Nianxin." "Zhi, let's talk about the Fengs." "I just saw the eldest son of the Fengs. You let him leave so easily." "No need to hurry. Sometimes one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow is worth it." "Then what are you going to do next?" "I will marry into the Feng family. I will be the wife of the eldest son of the Fengs." "Nianxin, this is too risky." "It's okay. I know what I am doing. You will always be with me, won't you?" "Ok, I got it." "Feng Qianchu will come back in the following three days. Tell the procuress not to send Feng Qianmu here recently. I only want to meet his big brother. This show I prepared for them finally begins." As Nianxin said it, she rested in Xuan Zhi's arms naturally. Feeling the warmth from his body, the woman could finally let go of all her disguise. His arms were the last shelter she had. … Huaiyang City had been raining recently, but today's weather was exceptionally good. The sky was clear, and the sun was not particularly dazzling. It was neither cold nor hot, truly a rare good day. The gate of the mansion of the Fengs was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. This place was bursting with happiness. This wedding of the eldest son of the Fengs was supposed to be a great joy for the family. After all, this boorish man finally understood the relationship between men and women and could continue the family line. However, he married a prostitute. Even though his wife was a courtesan lady, it only meant that she was an excellent prostitute. Usually, it's a shame to marry women from brothels as concubines in reputed families. However, the eldest young master of the Fengs married one as his wife! Master Feng almost died of anger while Mrs. Feng wanted to jump into the river with shame. Feng Qianchu had been a filial son. However, this time he was so stubborn. For marrying Nianxin, he was beaten several times by old general Feng and kneeled in their ancestral hall for nights. The Feng couple even said they would break off all relations with him. However, it still couldn't stop the obstinate man from marrying Nianxin. Music hadn't stopped along the way. The etiquette was not simpler than that of a normal wedding. A red bridal sedan carried Nianxin from Dream Pavilion to the gate of Fengs' mansion. Feng Qianchu was not handsome but loyal and honest. Dressed in a bright red bridegroom's suit, he lifted the sedan's curtain. He reached out to hold the hand of the woman who wore a bridal veil and a wedding dress with a graceful figure. The woman stretched out a small, ivory hand and placed it in the broad and thick hand of the man. Feng Qianchu held on to the hand of his beloved woman, silently vowing to himself that he would treat her nice for the rest of his life. Feng Qianmu, the third son of the Fengs, kept drinking wine at the banquet. He really wanted to know the reason why his favorite woman became his sister-in-law. His heart was bleeding. Feng Qianwu, the second son of the Fengs, was staring at his younger brother, who was drinking wine desperately, his big brother, who was determined to marry this woman despite everyone's opposition, and his parents' unwilling and disappointed look. The more he looked at the bride in front of him, the more annoying he was. This family didn't invite a lot of guests. The facial expressions of the present guests were even more interesting. It seemed that the Fengs were not holding a wedding but a funeral. Should the guests laugh or cry when they saw the strange reaction of this family? Everyone's expression was very awkward. It's really a wonderful show. Only some simple and ignorant warriors from Feng Qianchu's military camp were watching the wedding ceremony, truly feeling happy for their general. The scene was even more unbelievable outside Fengs' mansion. A large group of young masters from other families had gathered before the gate. They were crying heartbrokenly and didn't feel shameful. How could their beloved and stunning beauty fall in love with such a rude man? The servants of Fengs drove away one herd, but another came immediately after. The onlookers enjoyed the scene as a joke. In the end, the servants had no choice but to ignore them. Master Feng flew into a rage when he knew it. He wanted to beat his eldest son to death. However, none of these things had affected the happy couple. The grand wedding ceremony went on smoothly. The classic event, Bride's Challenge, did not happen, which disappointed many people. After the most important three bows, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber. Feng Qianchu dealt with the guests and then hurried back to accompany his beautiful wife. He was a straightforward and uninhibited man. Those details of the wedding were troublesome to him. When he returned to the bridal chamber, he lifted the bride's veil with his hands directly while a celebrant woman was still holding a pole, waiting for him to lift the veil as tradition. She saw the scene and was frozen, having no idea what she should do next... The bride only wore a simple pearl hairpin on her head. However, she was still as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. The bride was gentle and relieved the embarrassment for all present servants. "You guys can all leave. Never mind the etiquette." Only bride and bridegroom were in the bridal chamber now. Feng Qianchu looked at his wife, and he felt he liked her even more. He wanted to hug her so much. Nianxin pushed him gently, not allowing him to come closer. Her sweet voice rang. "Honey, let's drink a glass of 'cross-cupped wine' first." "Okay, my darling. I'll get it right away."
