54: Accepting the beauty, a three-way marriage

Lin Yuan remained silent, clearly assenting to the statement.

Deng Fuxi was born beautiful and was still unmarried; he would definitely accept such a beauty.

It was only due to a sense of responsibility that he feigned refusal.

Seeing this, Deng Rui quickly turned and said, "Deng Fuxi, you heard what Young Master said, what are your thoughts? Are you willing to endure this grievance?"

Everyone could make a decision without much thought—of course, she would accept!

Lin Yuan, at such a young age, already possessed Condensing Core Realm strength and was also a Guest Elder of the Liu Family. His status and position surpassed Deng Fuxi's by several levels. For such an outstanding man, even taking a concubine would be beyond the reach of a Young Miss from a small Family like the Deng Family.

If Deng Fuxi could humble herself to him and gain some benefit from Lin Yuan, her future would be bright.

As for being promiscuous, what did that matter? Which slightly powerful man nowadays didn't have three wives and four concubines?

As long as the benefits were sufficient, a little emotional loss was acceptable.

The woman clearly understood this principle, so after only a moment of hesitation, she decisively said, "Young Master, I don't mind that. No matter how many women you have now or in the future, as long as you keep a place for me in your heart, Xi'er will be content."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hanging hearts settled.

As long as Deng Fuxi agreed, it would be easy to discuss. Since Lin Yuan had already assented, he couldn't possibly go back on his word, could he?

Seeing her so resolute, Lin Yuan no longer hesitated. He stood up and said, "Good! Since Young Miss has said so, how can I be a heartless man? From now on, you shall follow me and be my woman."

The one-sided affection finally received a response from her beloved. Deng Fuxi cried tears of joy, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master! Xi'er will accompany you day and night from now on and serve you wholeheartedly!"

Lin Yuan also promised, "I will also do my best to take good care of you."

At this moment, Lin Father and Lin Mother, who had been left aside, finally couldn't help but express their opinions.

"Oh, Miss Deng is an unmarried woman, Lin Yuan, how can you treat her so unfairly?"

"Yes, with Miss Deng's Family background, where would she not be a main wife? How can you debase her like this?"

The two elders' Faces showed displeasure on the surface, but their hearts were blooming with joy.

Goodness! He actually managed to win over even the eldest Young Miss of the Deng Family!

As expected of our Lin Yuan, the more cabbages he gets, the more prosperous the Lin Family's lineage will surely be in the future!

The words of the two elders flattered Deng Fuxi, and she quickly waved her hands, saying, "Uncle and Aunt are too kind to me. It is already my great fortune to be Young Master's woman, how could I dare to aspire to the position of main wife? That would be truly ungrateful."

Deng Xuan echoed, "Xi'er is right. It is her blessing that my daughter can marry Young Master. A main wife is absolutely unthinkable. Let's hold the wedding according to the etiquette for taking a concubine."

Wedding!

Deng Fuxi's heart trembled, and her Face showed some panic.

Were they really getting married so quickly? She wasn't mentally prepared yet.

Lin Rong's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted, "Taking a concubine? How can that be? Miss Deng is of noble birth, we must marry her with the highest standards."

"No need, no need, a secular wedding can be handled simply."

"No, no..."

Seeing his father and Deng Xuan contradicting each other, Lin Yuan chuckled, "Alright, Father, as the Family Head said, this is a secular wedding, so let's proceed with secular standards. Also..."

He paused mid-sentence, then turned to the young girl and said, "Ye Linger, our wedding hasn't been held yet. How about you and Miss Deng marry me together?"

Ye Linger, who had been feeling down, suddenly heard her beloved's words and forced a smile, saying, "Good, that would be convenient too."

Lin Yuan then looked at Deng Fuxi and said, "Xi'er, what do you think of this?"

Since he had already said so, how could Deng Fuxi refuse?

Although she was somewhat unwilling in her heart, she still nodded and said, "Okay, it's all as Young Master says."

And so, the wedding preparations for the three of them began in full swing.

...

That night.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

"City Lord, Liu Sheng, the Family Head of the Liu Family, is here to visit."

In the spacious main hall, City Lord Chi Ji was handling official documents when he suddenly received a report from a servant.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Soon, a man in brocade robes walked into the hall, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Liu Sheng of the Liu Family greets the City Lord."

"You and I are old friends, Brother Liu, there's no need to be so formal."

Chi Ji closed his documents, looked up at the other party, and continued, "It's so late, Family Head, why have you come to my mansion?"

Liu Sheng pulled a red invitation from his Pregnant, and said softly, "I presume you've also received this invitation, Sir?"

"Yes, I was truly surprised that the eldest Young Miss of the Deng Family is getting married."

"So, what are your plans, City Lord?"

"Naturally, I will attend. The Deng Family is, after all, a major Family in my Luoxiao City. I must give them Face."

"Don't you know what happened during the day? The Deng Family mobilized their entire Family to annihilate the Sun Family. This act completely violated the Sect's regulations. As the enforcer managing the city, not only do you not punish this evil deed, but you even attend the ceremony to congratulate them. Where does this leave the Face of the City Lord's Mansion? How can you possibly maintain your own dignity?"

Liu Sheng's words were forceful and insightful, seemingly speaking out against injustice on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chi Ji had long seen through the other party's intentions. He scoffed, "Many forces are annihilated every day within the Sect's territory. What is a mere Sun Family?"

"So, you're just going to watch them act recklessly and do nothing?"

Being repeatedly questioned by the other party, Chi Ji also grew angry, "Presumptuous! You are but a mere subject, what right do you have to question this City Lord's decision? If you are truly dissatisfied with the Deng Family, then go resolve it yourself, instead of fanning the flames and sowing discord in front of me."

He had already received intelligence when the Sun Family was annihilated, stating that the Deng Family had been aided by a powerful young expert who easily killed Sun Hu.

To be able to kill a Condensing Core Realm Cultivator at such a young age, he must have a significant background!

How could he be so foolish as to offend such a person?

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng's expression became somewhat unpleasant.

Let him resolve it himself?

The Sun Family's fate was still evident; how could his Liu Family dare to court trouble?

Seeing the other party's silence, Chi Ji said again, "I know you're worried about becoming the next Sun Family, but as far as I know, the Sun Family was annihilated because they offended a powerful expert, not without reason. As long as your Liu Family stays out of trouble, I presume that expert will not target you."

Liu Sheng bit his lip, helplessly saying, "Understood, thank you for the City Lord's warning. I shall take my leave now."

He had originally intended to use the City Lord's Mansion to suppress the Deng Family, but judging from the other party's attitude, it was likely impossible now.
