"Qingqing —" Feng Cang was elated. The woman he had chosen was indeed different from the rest.
He had seen too many women who were more addicted to the thrill of power than men. They were willing to sacrifice themselves and others for it, turning from simple to complicated, kind to vicious. He had been worried that Murong Qiqi would like power, but he hadn't expected her to be the same. He had been overthinking things. His woman had to be compatible with him!
"But then again, it wouldn't do if she was just a commoner. Don't you think so, Your Highness?" Murong Qiqi smiled, her bright eyes glinting slyly. "Moreover, Wanyan Lie is our enemy. Even if we want to let him go, someone else might not be willing."
"What do you mean?"
"Since Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue are my parents, and their deaths are related to Wanyan Lie. No matter what, I must avenge them! What's more, the two of them saved your life and brought you up. As the saying goes, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth. We cannot let Wanyan Lie off just because of this! "
Murong Qiqi's opinion was the same as Feng Cang's. Feng Cang stared at the little woman in front of him in disbelief. She had really been sent to him by God. She could even guess his true thoughts.
No matter what his identity was, no matter what happened to Long Yu and Xia Wanying, those people and things were a blank in his memory. He could only imagine those stories from Feng Xie's narration. But Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue were real existences in his life. They had given him endless love and warmth in place of Long Yu and Xia Wanying. They had given him fatherly and motherly love, allowing him to feel the warmth of a family.
That was why he could let go of the restoration of his country and his revenge, but he could not let go of Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue's hatred. Those who had caused him to lose the warmth of his family and the woman he loved to lose her parents, he would not let go of any of them!
"Qingqing, how can I not love you!" He had always doted on this woman. Now that he knew that she was Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue's biological daughter, he was willing to dote on her and love her with his own life!
Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue were also his parents. They had given him so much. Unfortunately, time passed quickly, and they were separated by life and death. He was unable to repay their love for him, so he could only repay it to their only daughter, Murong Qiqi. He wanted to make her the happiest person in the world! Never worry or worry!
Within a day, the Northern Zhou Nation's Yan Jing City experienced two upheavals.
First, Murong Qiqi survived her wedding night, causing more than half of the people in the capital to lose money.
Just as the people were counting their money in the gambling den and crying in sorrow, another explosive news blew all of their sorrows away. Murong Qiqi was actually the daughter of General Feng Xie and Princess Ming Yue, Feng Cang's younger sister!
When this news swept through the entire capital, everyone was stunned. If Murong Qiqi's identity was the daughter of the Feng Clan, then wouldn't she and Feng Cang last night … Oh my god, it was a complete mess!
Just when everyone was fantasizing about how hot and lingering the siblings would be, someone revealed a piece of information.
It turned out that back at Mount Yandang, Li Qiushui had kidnapped Princess Ming Yue's daughter, Murong Qiqi, and raised her as his own daughter in the Prime Minister's residence. His motive was to take revenge on Wanyan Mingyue and Feng Xie.
Before the wedding, the brilliant Murong Qiqi found out about Li Qiushui's plot. She put on a show with her own brother to lure Li Qiushui into taking the bait. In the end, the truth was revealed. In fact, they had done nothing last night!
With the "confirmed news" from the palace, the people were enlightened. So they were brother and sister, no wonder they were incompatible. So they did not consummate their marriage. It was all Murong Qiqi's fault. Thus, everyone started to mourn for the money they had lost. In an instant, the entire capital was flooded with tears.
The only person who had benefited from this bet was Sir Guang Hua. Although the other mysterious man in black had also increased his bet by ten times, Sir Guang Hua had bet a hundred thousand gold taels!
A hundred thousand gold taels doubled, that was a million gold taels! At the thought of a million gold taels, the bosses of the gambling dens were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. What to do, what to do? Even if they killed them and sold their bodies, they would not be able to raise a million gold taels!
However, no matter what, since it was a bet, there would be winners and losers. The bosses of the gambling dens sold everything they had and managed to raise five hundred thousand gold taels.
With the remaining five hundred thousand gold taels, Sir Guang Hua sent someone to sign an agreement with them. This bet had turned Sir Guang Hua into half a boss of the gambling dens. All the gambling dens would have to pay thirty percent of their monthly profits to Sir Guang Hua until they had five hundred thousand gold taels. Before the debt was repaid, the monthly interest was frightening.
However, at least they were able to keep their gambling dens and did not have to live on the streets. Although the bosses of the gambling dens felt that Sir Guang Hua was too ruthless, they were still grateful to him. At least he did not force them to close down and did not make them lose their source of income.
"Miss, the gold taels have been collected. A portion will be sent to the Number One Under Heaven Manor, and the rest will be stored as funds." After Su Mei had settled everything, she reported everything in detail to Murong Qiqi.
"Alright! Not bad! Don't force them too much, wait until the time is right to swallow them up. "
Murong Qiqi had already recovered from the fake sibling scandal and was in high spirits. After Feng Cang confessed his identity to her, he hurriedly left. Although he did not say it, Murong Qiqi knew that Feng Cang had gone to find someone to quell the rumors.
After all, she was still the Princess Consort yesterday. Today, she had become the Country Guarding Princess. It was unbelievable. If someone with ulterior motives released some rumors, it would be a fearsome gossip. As the Southern Lin Duke, Feng Cang should have his own publicity team. With him putting out the fire, Murong Qiqi was at ease.
"Miss, are you really the daughter of Feng Xie and Wanyan Mingyue? Then, then the son-in-law and you … "Seeing the calmness on Murong Qiqi's face, Su Mei could no longer remain calm.
Ever since Wanyan Lie's imperial edict arrived at the Duke's Residence, Su Mei had been stunned. Although she was able to maintain her composure and deal with the bets that Murong Qiqi had given her, this puzzle had always been in Su Mei's heart and she could not hold it in any longer.
