When Shi Shengcheng heard the news, he was so scared that he immediately rode his horse over, afraid that he would follow Du Changfeng when his brain got hot. His precious daughter could not go anywhere. She could only stay by his side. In the future, she would have to find a son-in-law.
But no matter how he tried to persuade her, Shi Yingying was determined. She lowered her head and did not say a word, looking extremely greedy.
Shi Shengcheng was so angry that he turned around and scolded Du Changfeng, "Are you mute? Wasn't he unwilling to get married? My Yingying grew up daintily, how can she go to the Northwest to suffer with you? What kind of Ecstasy did you give her to make her look like this? A girl that doesn't leave the pavilion, she watches over you day and day, do you know what the people in the town say about her? When you leave, those aunts' spittle can drown her, but even so, I can't let her go with you. In my heart, reputation is not as important as my daughter's happiness. Du Changfeng, I will tell you this right here. If you dare to kidnap my daughter, I will chase you all the way to the northwest! "
"Father!" Shi Yingying sighed, "Don't say anymore, it's not his fault, it's my daughter who is unfilial. My daughter should be filial in front of father, she shouldn't leave father behind …" She covered her mouth and could not continue. Tears flowed from her eyes.
As soon as Shi Yingying cried, Shi Shengcheng started panicking, "Yingying, don't cry, Daddy didn't blame you for it. It's's fault, he's the one who confused you."
Shi Yingying sobbed and knelt in front of Shi Shengcheng, "Father, your daughter is unfilial, don't blame me, in the future, I will come back to see you, you are here, you have family business, and there are so many people waiting around for you, but there isn't even a single person who knows when to stop, if your daughter doesn't go, I am really worried, Father, you should find someone else, I am not against it, find someone from a family with a clean background, and give birth to a fat boy for you, who can inherit our Shi Family's business in the future …"
"Ying Ying, don't say anymore," When Shi Shengcheng heard his daughter's words, he also started crying. He originally wanted to pull his daughter up, but his legs gave out and the father and daughter both kneeled down, crying bitterly.
Du Changfeng watched on silently from the side, and suddenly said, "Let's get married."
Eh? The father and daughter pair, who were crying, raised their heads and looked at him blankly. "What did you say?"
"Get married." Du Changfeng said, "Even if Ying Ying becomes a widow in the future, her reputation will still be better than not getting married and hanging out with men."
Shi Yingying wiped away her tears and pulled her father up, "What do you mean by that? How did I become a widow? She widened her eyes in shock and fear, "Du Changfeng, you better not be unlucky …"
"I won't," Du Changfeng laughed, "After I leave, your reputation will be ruined, so let's just get married. If you marry, you stay, I will leave by myself, and if you meet something suitable in the future, you don't need to tell me, just treat it as me dying and live a good life with that person."
Shi Yingying looked at him for a long time, tears once again fell from the corner of her eyes, and after a while she said, "Alright, it's settled then."
Shi Shengcheng was a little dazed. His daughter had become a widow after marriage … A widow is better than a widow to the northwest.
The marriage had already been set up, Du Changfeng felt that it was too troublesome, he just wanted it to be brief, if Shi Yingying did not agree, life would become a marriage, she had to put on airs, and let everyone in the whole town know that he had married Du Changfeng, although Du Changfeng had already stripped off his position and even offended Prince Chu. But since he dared to challenge the Prince Chu, with just this courage and insight, could there be another person who dared to do so?
She knew that Du Changfeng agreed to the marriage on her behalf, but who cares. She was the one who decided what she wanted to do, and it was impossible to count what others said.
Prince Chu personally came on the day of their marriage and chatted with Du Changfeng for a long time before calling Shi Shengcheng in. When they came out, all three of their faces were different. The Prince Chu was calm, Du Changfeng was gloomy, but Shi Shengcheng was happy.
While Du Changfeng was drinking with the Prince Chu, he ran over to the new room and told Shi Yingying the good news.
"My daughter, Daddy does not object to you leaving with Du Changfeng."
Shi Yingying was a little surprised, she raised her red head and asked, "Father, what happened?"
"Prince Chu has given you and Du Changfeng a great gift," Shi Shengcheng gestured, as he drew a large circle in the air.
"Dad, stop trying to keep us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us!"
"Prince Chu said that he built the largest relay station in the Northwest, preparing to let you and Du Changfeng manage it. You know that the relay stations that belong to the imperial government do not need to be taxed, and all of their income goes to you guys. Prince Chu also said that in the future, they would focus on the development of the northwest. In the future, when there were many people who traveled to the northwest, the guest sources would not be worried. Prince Chu said that, if you manage your business well, you can even call out a branch and make you Red Top Merchant, Ying Ying, and Father will manage it for the rest of your lives. You will definitely be more promising than Father in the future … "
In the end, it was someone from a Shang Clan, upon hearing that, Shi Yingying's eyes lit up: "Really? Prince Chu originally wanted Du Changfeng and I to manage the relay stations? "
"Of course it's true. Father couldn't have lied to you, could it be that the promise Prince Chu made in front of me and Du Changfeng was fake?"
"What about Du Changfeng?" Shi Yingying asked: "Will he let me go with him?"
"Prince Chu spoke, he dared to disagree, so he accepted it."
Mm, as long as you don't object. Shi Yingying was very happy. She had originally planned to follow Du Changfeng, but she was afraid that Du Changfeng would not agree and would even waste time.
"Dad, what time is it? Why hasn't the banquet dispersed yet?"
"What's the rush? Prince Chu hasn't left yet."
"Go and have a look, tell Du Changfeng to drink less, don't miss the timing."
Shi Shengcheng did not understand, "What time are you missing?
"Father!" Shi Yingying blushed and called out to him.
Shi Shengcheng realised, his old face immediately flushed red, and left awkwardly.
Shi Yingying was waiting hopefully, but she was already sleeping on the side of the bed. Before Du Changfeng came back, she told the servant girl to go over and see what was going on.
When Shi Yingying heard this, he did not speak for a long time. She stood up and got the servant girl to take off her red robe, and then sat down in front of the makeup table to remove the phoenix crown. In Du Changfeng's eyes, this was already a fake marriage, so he would not come over to pick her head, or drink with her, or make a toast. In the bridal room.
This meeting, he might be feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He had gone against his own feelings and married another woman, so he drank by himself.
Shi Yingying looked at her reflection in the mirror. Actually, she could be considered to be a pretty girl, but why didn't Du Changfeng fancy her? 'Forget it, since I'm married, 'she comforted herself.' Things in this world don't always go as planned, how can anyone call it desirable? It would be nice if there was one of them who was happy.
