198: They finally got together
"How can this be? Since ancient times, the primary wife is the spouse, and the secondary wives are concubines. How can they all be 'Madam'?"
As soon as Feng Ming finished speaking, Yun Mo stood up in opposition.
Feng Ming smiled. "Although this has been passed down since ancient times, rules are made by people. Since others could set them, I can change them."
"In short, my women will only be wives, not concubines. Those I marry through formal channels will all be my Madams, and there will be no difference in their status or treatment."
Yun Mo was quite moved after hearing this, and Lu Zhenfeng also clapped in approval. "Excellent. To dare to break the conventional secular laws and rituals—find a time to meet with your elders and finalize the marriage."
Just as Feng Ming was about to speak, an announcement came from outside the door: "My Lord, a young lady from the Hua Clan Merchant House has arrived to see Young Master Feng."
"Let her in."
The one who could come must be Miss Dieer's personal Maid.
Although Lu Zhenfeng was somewhat surprised, he still invited the person in.
A moment later, the Maid walked in and bowed. Lu Zhenfeng nodded. "Feng Ming is right here. If you have something to say, speak."
Yun Mo quickly said, "If it's inconvenient, I can arrange a private place for you all."
The Maid shook her head. "Madam City Lord, it is not inconvenient. My Young Miss asked me to deliver a letter. This matter is also related to Miss Anan, so you can all look at it together."
After saying that, the Maid handed over the letter and then stood to the side.
Everyone was curious upon hearing that it was related to Lu An'an.
Feng Ming didn't waste any time and immediately took out the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, the expressions on everyone's faces stiffened, and Lu An'an was especially shocked.
"What should be done? Wouldn't my marriage contract with Young Master Feng then..."
Feng Ming gently patted the back of her hand. "Be good, don't worry. I understand your heart. The marriage can be postponed. As long as you are willing, I can wait."
"Although I can't wait to marry you, I support you even more in doing what you love to do."
Lu An'an's eyes turned red, but she was speechless.
Lu Zhenfeng looked at Lu An'an and spoke, "I know you've always wanted to take Madam Hua as your master. Feng Ming also told me and we made an agreement. As long as you want to go, your father will support you. This can be considered fulfilling my original promise."
"It's just that the Apprenticeship Ceremony has been moved up, so your marriage contract with Feng Ming will likely... After all, the journey to Qian Prefecture is long. If you want to go, you must set off as soon as possible."
After Lu Zhenfeng finished, Feng Ming followed up: "I can wait for Anan to return after her studies. It doesn't matter if the marriage is early or late. If two hearts are meant to be together forever, why must they be together day and night?"
Lu An'an finally nodded.
She wanted to go; she had always wanted to go.
The Maid on the side spoke, "If Miss Lu is going, my Young Miss will be waiting for you at the pavilion outside the city tomorrow morning."
Feng Ming was somewhat surprised. "Your Young Miss is also going back?"
Wasn't it said that Hua Dieer was an unfavored daughter of the Family? She could actually go back whenever she wanted?
The Maid nodded. "Yes, my Young Miss is also going back."
Yun Mo let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "This is a good thing then. Two girls can look after each other on the road, it's just..."
Lu Zhenfeng understood Yun Mo's meaning and nodded. "I naturally trust Miss Dieer's character, but the journey is long after all, so we must plan carefully."
"Well then, your father and I will go prepare. You two must have a lot to say, so we won't disturb you."
After Yun Mo finished speaking, she stood up and pulled Lu Zhenfeng away.
Miss Dieer's Maid naturally saw this as well. Having finished what she came to do, she followed the Lord and Madam out.
In an instant, only Feng Ming and Lu An'an were left in the living room.
Neither of them was a fool. They were originally discussing a wedding date, but now they were to be separated tomorrow, so they were naturally upset.
If they didn't seize the time now, they might not see each other for a long time.
But at this moment, the two of them were exceptionally awkward. Lu An'an suggested taking a walk in the garden.
Feng Ming naturally didn't object, but there was nothing in the garden, and the two were once again in an awkward state.
Feng Ming wasn't the one feeling awkward; the key was that this was the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't dare to act recklessly.
Lu An'an thought for a moment and asked, "Before Qianqian went into seclusion, did she say goodbye to you?"
Feng Ming shook his head. "I didn't see her at all before she went into seclusion."
Lu An'an sighed. "She's been like this since she was a child. Clearly, she likes you too much to face this. But now that I'm leaving, you'll have to help me take care of her."
"She has a stubborn personality and doesn't know I'm going to study under a master. I'm afraid she'll stay in the Lingxiao Pagoda the whole time. You mustn't let her miss the Liangzhou Trial."
Feng Ming nodded and promised: "Don't worry! If the day is truly approaching and she still refuses to come out, I'll personally go in and drag her out!"
"Mhm!"
Lu An'an covered her mouth and giggled. Once they finished talking about business, the atmosphere became awkward again. Lu An'an thought for a moment and said:
"Don't worry about the Pill Workshop. Chun Tao is a quick learner. Even without me, she's already able to manage it independently!"
Feng Ming nodded. "I'm not worried."
"As for you, don't be nervous. If you mind, I'll return to the Sect first and come back tomorrow to see you off."
Hearing this, Lu An'an immediately became anxious.
"Don't, don't leave. Tonight... why don't you stay."
After saying that, without waiting for Feng Ming's answer, she ran back to her room ahead of him.
Feng Ming realized what was happening and immediately followed her with a smile.
On the roof.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng's eyes suddenly filled with tears. "Great! They're finally together!"
"I have to tell the City Lord that his son-in-law isn't going anywhere!"
On the other side, when Lu An'an and Feng Ming returned to the room, they saw a jar of fine wine placed on the table.
Feng Ming immediately cheered in his heart. This father-in-law is someone worth knowing!
Lu An'an suggested, "How about we have a drink?"
As a result, as soon as she turned around, she fell into Feng Ming's embrace.
Looking at Lu An'an, who was huddled motionless in his arms, Feng Ming spoke: "Silly Anan, being with you, I don't want to waste a single second."
Hearing this, Lu An'an looked up at Feng Ming and took the initiative to kiss him.
Clearly, she was also using her own way to express her determination not to be separated from Feng Ming.
Similarly, at this moment, nothing could stop two frantic hearts from drawing closer together.
While Feng Ming was busy, the System's voice also rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully pampering his wife and having contact with his wife, Lu An'an!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining rewards...]
However, Feng Ming couldn't care less about these things and didn't even listen to the System's voice.
