19: Marry Xiao Shuirun
When Xiao ShuiRun learned through conversation that the condition for redeeming Xiao Chen was for her to marry Alchemist Liu Feng, she was completely stunned!
She had even prepared for the worst, sacrificing her beauty to rescue Xiao Chen, who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
But she never expected it!
Alchemist Liu Feng actually wanted to marry her!
This was completely beyond Xiao ShuiRun's expectations.
"Lord Liu, I'm already married."
"And, more importantly, I'm a full hundred years older than you!"
"Are you really planning to marry me?"
Xiao ShuiRun stated her shortcomings.
Ordinary men would despise these flaws.
She didn't believe that with these flaws, Alchemist Liu Feng would still want to marry her.
"Marry!"
"Of course, I'll marry you!"
"I absolutely love your shortcomings!"
Liu Feng responded without hesitation.
Liu Feng, who possessed the demeanor of Wei Wu and the bearing of a Prime Minister, truly loved the shortcomings Xiao ShuiRun mentioned!
Hearing this, Xiao ShuiRun was at a loss for words.
She had heard some rumors.
Alchemist Liu Feng liked to marry older women.
Originally, Xiao ShuiRun thought these were just rumors!
She hadn't taken them seriously!
But today, Xiao ShuiRun experienced it firsthand and realized that the rumors were not false, but true!
Alchemist Liu Feng indeed liked older women.
Being a full hundred years older than Liu Feng perfectly suited his taste.
"Lord Liu, can we change the condition?"
Xiao ShuiRun said with difficulty, her beautiful eyes filled with a troubled expression.
If she married Alchemist Liu Feng, how would Xiao Chen view her?
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Alchemist Liu Feng shook the fan in his hand and refused instantly.
Marrying Xiao ShuiRun would bring abundant and substantial rewards, making him stronger.
As a villainous Alchemist, how could Liu Feng refuse?
Moreover!
More importantly, Liu Feng, the villain, truly didn't want to let go of the Child of Destiny's mother!
"Madam Xiao, you wouldn't want Xiao Chen to be imprisoned in the dungeon forever, would you?"
Liu Feng, holding the leverage, smiled slightly and threatened.
Who was Madam Xiao's weakness?
Of course, it was Xiao Chen, the Child of Destiny!
For Liu Feng, who had Xiao Chen imprisoned, manipulating Madam Xiao was incredibly easy!
Madam Xiao, already in a difficult position, was now even more troubled.
She could accept marrying Liu Feng.
And she even gained an advantage.
After all, she was a full hundred years older than Liu Feng.
Liu Feng was handsome and dignified, and he was also a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, with an incredibly noble status; as long as she married him, the Xiao Family would not face destruction.
The benefits of marrying Liu Feng were clearly numerous.
She truly had nothing to lose!
However!
What worried Madam Xiao the most was Xiao Chen; he would definitely not be able to accept it!
He had always held a grudge against Alchemist Liu Feng!
If he knew that his mother had married Liu Feng, he would surely go mad!
The villain Liu Feng, gently fanning himself, saw through Madam Xiao's concerns at a glance.
"Madam Xiao, are you worried that your Xiao Chen won't be able to accept it?"
Liu Feng asked directly.
Madam Xiao nodded her head, unable to deny it.
This was indeed her concern.
She didn't know how to explain it to her Xiao Chen, or how to face him, if she married Liu Feng.
"This concern is easy to resolve."
"As long as Madam Xiao marries me, this matter will not be publicized."
"This matter, known only to heaven, earth, you, and me, can be easily resolved by not letting Xiao Chen know."
Liu Feng said, smiling slightly as he fanned himself.
As long as Xiao Chen was kept in the dark, it would be fine.
In this way!
Madam Xiao's concerns would vanish.
Upon hearing this.
Xiao ShuiRun also felt that this method was feasible.
Moreover!
The opportunities left for Xiao ShuiRun to choose from were truly few!
If she didn't marry Alchemist Liu Feng, Xiao Chen would be imprisoned for life, and the Xiao Family would face destruction!
Completely disappearing from Wu Tan City!
However, if she married Alchemist Liu Feng, the Xiao Family would avoid annihilation, and Xiao Chen would see the light of day again.
After much deliberation.
Xiao ShuiRun decided to marry Liu Feng, who was younger than her.
"Lord Liu, I will marry you."
"You must spare Xiao Chen and my Xiao Family!"
Xiao ShuiRun put forward her final request.
"Madam Xiao, rest assured!"
"As long as you marry me, I will dote on you well; how could I make things difficult for your Xiao Family?"
Liu Feng promised.
"Madam Xiao, are you willing to marry me?"
Liu Feng then pressed on.
"I am willing to marry Lord Liu!"
Xiao ShuiRun responded, her beautiful face slightly flushed.
It was the first time in her life that she was marrying a man a hundred years younger than herself.
This made Xiao ShuiRun feel as if she was indeed an old cow eating tender grass.
"Madam, you should change your address."
"You should call me Husband!"
Liu Feng closed his fan, pulled Xiao ShuiRun, who had agreed to marry him, into his arms, and said with a faint smile.
Liu Feng and Xiao ShuiRun had a simple marriage.
There was no wedding banquet or guests coming to congratulate them.
The news of their marriage was not leaked at all.
.........
In a blink of an eye.
Several days had passed.
Wang Family.
In Liu Feng's room.
"Husband, please don't tell Xiao Chen about our marriage!"
"If he finds out, I really don't know how to explain it."
Xiao ShuiRun pleaded with her beautiful eyes.
"Madam, you can rest assured!"
"Xiao Chen will never know about this matter."
Liu Feng guaranteed.
The news of his marriage to Xiao ShuiRun was only told to Wang Qingwan and the Demon Concubine.
No one else knew.
"Husband, it's time for me to leave."
Xiao ShuiRun, who had been away from the Xiao Family for several days, said.
She was afraid that if she continued to accompany her Husband, she would not want to leave him.
These past few days.
Xiao ShuiRun had been completely conquered by Liu Feng!
Liu Feng nodded slightly, agreeing to Xiao ShuiRun's request.
Before leaving.
Xiao ShuiRun said, "My husband, Xiao Chen has been imprisoned in the dungeon for some days; please release him."
Liu Feng said, "Don't worry, don't worry!"
"I'm considered Xiao Chen's stepfather now, after all!"
"Naturally, I won't just stand by and watch that boy suffer!"
Hearing this, Xiao ShuiRun felt relieved.
Before leaving, she reluctantly kissed Liu Feng and quietly left the Wang Family.
Watching Xiao ShuiRun depart, Liu Feng opened his fan, gently fanned himself, and laughed, "As expected of the Child of Destiny's mother!"
"I am now the Child of Destiny's stepfather!"
Thinking that he had become Xiao Chen's stepfather, making him a generation older than Xiao Chen, Liu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter.
