Wife, You Can't Run After Eating-Chapter 28 - Regret?
Wife, You Can’t Run After Eating – C28 – Regret?
A chilly breeze blew across the crystal clear lake, the jade-green leaves swayed, and a few of the early blooms of the iris appeared and disappeared as if they were hide-and-seek with the green lotus leaves.
The faint fragrance was pleasing to the heart. When the wind blew, the fragrance of the lotus lingered in the air, and the petals of the iris fluttered and danced.
“Zi Yun, is this news true?” Feng Zhiyao was lazily lying in Ye Weiyang’s arms while enjoying the fragrance, eating the peeled crystal grapes. She then heard Zi Yun say that Xuanyuan Haohan had just come to the Prime Minister’s Mansion with a betrothal gift. She was truly curious.
“Eldest Miss, it’s absolutely true. According to the servants, there are two large boxes of pearls from South Sea!” Seeing that Ye Weiyang didn’t have any intentions of dodging, Zi Yun could only raise her eyebrows and say it clearly.
“Zi Yun, why would Xuanyuan Haohan want to marry me? He must have taken a fancy to the power of the Prime Minister’s Mansion!” If he wanted her to give up her freedom, hmph, let Xuanyuan Haohan dream!
“Eldest Miss, but it is impossible for the old master to return the betrothal gift!” Judging from the Eldest Miss’s words, she wasn’t willing not to be married! Originally, Zi Yun was very happy that after the eldest miss had been withdrawn the marriage, someone finally came to propose a marriage. However, looking at the meaning of her eldest daughter’s words, she clearly didn’t want to marry!
“Zi Yun, you can leave first! You don’t have to wait on me here. Hmm, let me think about how to deal with father later.” Feng Zhiyao gently held a cup of tea in her hand. Her eyes landed on the lotus leaves that were swaying in the pond as she casually said.
After Zi Yun left, Ye Weiyang Jun’s face darkened.
“I will not let you marry to Xuanyuan Haohan!” She already had a real thing with him, how could he let a girl he liked marry another man? So, of course, he would do his best to prevent her from marrying to another man!
“I know!” Feng Zhiyao’s faint smile didn’t change in the slightest. A light flashed across her eyes, and the smile on her lips turned into a teasing smile.
“Weiyang, are you jealous?”
“You clearly know how much I want to marry you, but you don’t want me to propose to your father!” Ye Weiyang continued to hold her delicate body, unwilling to let go. Only, his eyes became a little gentler, and a cute blush appeared on his perfect handsome face.
“Well, what else?” Feng Zhiyao put down her teacup, smilingly looking up at him.
“Xuanyuan Haohan is ambitious, I am more suitable for you!” It wasn’t that Ye Weiyang wanted to slander Xuanyuan Haohan, but he believed that he truly liked Feng Zhiyao, and his words were filled with confidence.
“Hehe … Hehe …” Feng Zhiyao’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she giggled.
“Not only for your sake, but also for my own. I will think of a way to return the betrothal gift!” She had travelled through time to here, never thought that she would be married so easily!
What about her great dream? Therefore, she would rather be a golden single lady!
“Yao’er … It seems like someone is here. I’ll hide for a bit.” Ye Weiyang’s hearing was extremely good. After saying this, he immediately dodged aside.
Feng Zhiyao nodded lightly. She gazed at Feng Wucai’s thin figure walking towards her Begonia Garden, the smile on her red lips unabated.
She thought to herself, “This father is not bad. He knows that he should take the initiative to discuss that matter with me.”
“Dad, why are you here?” Feng Zhiyao slowly stood up, smiled and said to him.
“The King of Qin suddenly sent the betrothal gift together with King of Qi. This makes me feel really uneasy! These two brothers have been on bad terms with each other. It was one thing for the King of Qi to be responsible for Qiong’er, but he insisted on marrying you and made her his concubine. What should we do?” Feng Wucai impatiently paced back and forth, not in the mood to look at the graceful lotus.
“Father, didn’t King of Qi already send me the marriage annulment letter? Why did he suddenly go back on his words?” When Feng Zhiyao heard this, she was shocked. She thought that it’s only the King of Qin, but King of Qi? Could it be that he regretted annulling the engagement?
After so much trouble, those two people were here to give her the betrothal gift! Would Feng Zhiqiong be angry if she found out?
Thinking up to here, Feng Zhiyao’s lips curved up in a playful smile.
“It is said that the betrothal gift given by King of Qi is given by his mother, Imperial Concubine Duan. Yao’er, what should we do? We could not afford to offend either sides! I’m so worried!” Feng Wukai looked worried, as if he had suffered a great enmity.
“Dad, I have a way, come over here!” Feng Zhiyao told Feng Wucai what she had thought of.
“Yao’er, is this a safe way to deal with this?” God, didn’t that mean him refusing the two princes’ requests?
“Father, do you have a way to split me in half?” Feng Zhiyao still had a faint smile on her face as her eyes landed on the clear lake water.
Feng Wucai was stunned for a while before he shook his head helplessly.
“That’s it. Father, quickly find someone to do this, and I will do the same.” Feng Zhiyao’s face was full of victory, her smile blossoming like a flower.
“OK, you’re the daughter I doted with my heart. I won’t allow you to marry into the royal family. OK, OK. I’ll do as you say!” Feng Wucai’s face was full of worry as he lovingly looked at Feng Zhiyao.
….
The King of Qin’s mansion wasn’t a simple, elegant and beautiful building. Instead, It was like a luxurious palace.
Seriously, the Phoenix Pavilions and Dragon Temples were serene and majestic.
A jade-white lake pavilion was built atop the rippling waves of the blue lake. On both sides of the pavilion were white jade steps. On the stone steps were carved auspicious clouds and qilins.
In the pavilion at the heart of the lake, the pink muslin fluttered gently. Occasionally, melodious zither music floated by.
Outside the pavilion, there was a beautiful maid playing the zither, elegant and graceful.
In the pavilion, a clear and melodious male voice rang out, “Fourth brother, your chess skills are becoming more and more good. I’ve lost to you again!”
The young man who spoke wore a set of white clothes with a few delicate green bamboos embroidered on the sleeves. His black hair was tied with a white jade hairpin.
Although he was laughing calmly, he didn’t care about winning or losing at all.
“Eighteenth brother, you didn’t come here today to play chess with your fourth brother, right?” Across from the man in white, a young man lying on a bed made from fine pear wood lazily cast a glance at him.
His eyes were bright like stars, and his sword-like eyebrows were like paintings. A graceful and leisurely smile hung on his handsome face.
“Fourth brother, I …” The white-clothed man was Xuanyuan Haoyun. Now that Xuanyuan Haohan saw through his thoughts, he wanted to say something, but hesitated.
“Forget it, you may leave first!” Xuanyuan Haohan waved his hand at the beautiful servant who was playing the zither, and that well-trained maid excused herself.
“Brother eighteenth, it’s just the two of us here. If you have something to say, just say it!” Xuanyuan Haohan’s long and flawless hand could be said to be perfect, leisurely sipping a delicate cup of tea.
