Chapter 3 3: The Wedding Is Set!

"No, Li Chunfeng, how did you decide?"

Li Xu was too anxious to complain, and suddenly he felt puzzled: "I know Xia Lengbai, that woman has always been unruly and aloof, she would rather die than marry me."

Li Xu is indeed qualified to speak about Xia Lengbai's character. Thinking back to when he tied Xia Lengbai to the bed and dripped candle oil on her all night, and then Xia Lengbai was rescued from the Xiangguo Mansion, her eyes full of stubbornness and hatred, Li Xu still remembers it vividly.

"She had no choice."

Li Chunfeng explained in an orderly manner: "Xia Haoran advised His Majesty three days ago to stop indulging in cultivation and ignoring state affairs, so as not to become a king who misled the country and be infamous in history books for thousands of years."

"His Majesty was furious when he heard this and put Xia Haoran in death row. His family was either exiled to the border or imprisoned in the Music Bureau."

"I gave Xia Lengbai a chance. As long as she agreed to marry you, not only would she not have to go to the Music Bureau, but her family would also be able to walk out of the prison safely."

Li Xu's mouth twitched: "So, you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune and using the lives of Xia Lengbai's family to force her to submit?"

Li Chunfeng did not comment: "Even if that's the case, what's the harm."

Li Xu: "..."

Okay, okay!

Li Chunfeng, you are very happy to be a villain now. You are noble and great, but it turned out that it was not you who was cut into pieces by Tang San. Don't cry when you see my horrible death in two days!

"I don't agree!"

After a moment of changing expression, Li Xu waved his hand firmly: "Xia Lengbai and I are born in conflict, I would rather marry a bitch than marry her!"

"Don't be ungrateful."

Li Tianai couldn't listen any longer, and said coldly in a royal sister's voice: "You know your physical condition best. The three unfilial acts are not having a descendant, and it doesn't matter when you die of illness, but before that, you must at least get married and leave a descendant for your father."

Li Xu made his stepsister speechless.

No, are you talking like a human being!

It doesn't matter when I die of illness?

Then do you know that if I don't marry Xia Lengbai, I still have the possibility of passing on my father's family line, but once I marry Xia Lengbai, then Lao Deng will really be extinct!

"Stop talking nonsense! Anyway, I will never marry Xia Lengbai, and I will only marry a woman I like." Li Xu said impatiently.

"If you want to continue the family line, Li Chunfeng, go get a concubine yourself, don't count on me!"

This rebellious remark really pissed off Li Tianai, and her cold and royal voice suddenly rose: "You——"

Li Chunfeng raised his hand at the right time to stop his daughter's outburst. His weather-beaten face was still full of the scholar's iconic elegance and calmness. He looked at Li Xu calmly: "Do you have a woman you like? As long as you tell me her name, I can arrange for you to get married."

"..."

Li Xu was stunned.

Huh?

Did Lao Deng want to hold his grandson to this extent?

Or was it that I almost fell ill three days ago and really scared him, and he was afraid that he would have no children or grandchildren?

After a short silence, Li Xu doubtfully probed: "Li Chunfeng, you promised yourself that no matter whose name I say, you will arrange our marriage?"

Before Li Chunfeng spoke, Li Tianai beside him narrowed her beautiful eyes dangerously and warned coldly: "You'd better not say the name of any courtesan."

Li Xu: "..."

After his daughter's reminder, Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment and added: "As long as the other party has a clean family background and a clean origin, I can arrange it for you."

"Okay!"

"That's what I'm waiting for you to say!"

Li Xu was afraid that his father would break his promise, and immediately pointed to Li Tianai with three question marks floating above his head: "Li Chunfeng, marry Li Tianai to me. I have liked her for a long time, and it's just right for us to get closer!"

Li Chunfeng: "..."

Li Tianai: "..."

God damn it!

Silence.

The study room of the Xiangguo Mansion suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Li Tianai's noble and beautiful face trembled violently, and her whole body was visibly stiff.

Li Chunfeng took a deep breath, and his originally calm eyes turned sharp in an instant.

He tried his best.

From the moment the wicked son entered the door just now, he has been trying to suppress his temper, but now he really can't hold it anymore.

"Li Tianai is just your adopted daughter, there is nothing wrong with marrying her to me."

Seeing that the two did not say anything, Li Xu actually had the illusion that he had a chance, and hurriedly said to himself: "What's more, Li Tianai will get married sooner or later, and it's better to marry me than to marry anyone else. This can be regarded as keeping the wealth within the family..."

"Get lost!"

Li Chunfeng suddenly shouted angrily, his expression no longer elegant, veins bursting on his forehead, and a sense of oppression and horror burst out from his body.

"Uncle Sun, take this evil creature away!"

"Yes."

After the words fell, before Li Xu could react, he felt a sudden blur in front of his eyes, and the housekeeper Uncle Sun flashed in front of him like a ghost, and pointed a finger at the acupuncture point on his chest.

"Hmm..."

Li Xu's whole body was paralyzed, and only a pair of eyes could move. He watched Sun Bo carry him on his shoulders like a sandbag and fly out of the door.

Yes.

Because he was weak and sickly, he would not receive any substantial lessons no matter how outrageous he did since he was a child, but his father and stepsister could make him disappear and just ignore it.

After the housekeeper carried Li Xu away, there was still silence in the study.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chunfeng picked up the brush on the table to review the memorials, and Li Tianai also picked up the ink stick again and stood beside him to grind ink for him, just like before Li Xu entered the door.

"Tianai, you can go back to the border, your father is here in the Imperial Capital."

After reviewing several memorials in a row, Li Chunfeng spoke, and his original elegant and gentle expression had returned.

Li Tianai pursed her red lips, hesitating to speak:

"Two days later... wait until his wedding is over."

"Well, that's fine."

...

...

"It's numb, it's numb, it's really numb this time!"

In a side courtyard of the Xiangguo Mansion, Li Xu was locked in a wing room and jumped up and down.

When he thought of the tragic scene in the original game where he was cut into pieces by Tang San, his scalp couldn't help but go numb.

"I was just planning that if the old man insisted on forcing me to marry Xia Lengbai, I would have no choice but to tell him about Tang San - but I never thought that Lao Deng would just take me down and not even give me a chance to use his ultimate move."

"I want to marry Li Tianai, so he is so angry and can't accept it?"

"I admit that I am not worthy of Li Tianai, but putting aside the facts, when you arrange a marriage for your son, shouldn't you marry the most perfect daughter-in-law? Is there any woman in the world who is more perfect than Li Tianai and knows me well?"

"...No, Li Tianai and I don't know each other very well. At least, I don't understand her fate with three question marks on her head."
