Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Host is Spoiled to the Point of Pregnancy Again

Chapter 8 The Beloved Farm Girl (8)

Lady Hou's attitude softened considerably. She helped him up and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"...The son wanted to pretend to be in danger and then be rescued by Afu, so that Afu would be his savior..."

Both mother and son wanted to embellish Bai Ruofu's reputation, but because of their different positions, they came up with different methods.

Lady Hou sighed: "I shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of you young people. It's fine this way, Afu is Afu, she won't change her name or surname."

"Mother, you mean...you agree?"

"Well, not to mention you, I've also been moved by Afu after spending a lot of time with her. Rather than just finding any random woman outside to be the head of the household and risking bringing disaster to the entire Marquis's mansion, it's better to... have someone you know well."

But Shen Fengwang didn't think so. In his heart now, Afu was Afu, and there was no need to compare her to others.

"Your son thanks you, Mother!"

Shen Fengwang's voice trembled.

Seeing his reaction, Lady Hou felt even more certain that she had made the right choice.

Not long after, Shen Fengwang staged an assassination attempt and fell off a cliff, only to be rescued by a passing peasant girl named Bai Ruofu. By "fate," Bai Ruofu turned out to be his wet nurse's niece.

From then on, Bai Ruofu became the savior of the heir of the Yong'an Marquis. The Yong Dynasty valued etiquette, and his offering of a generous dowry to marry Bai Ruofu would be considered a beautiful story.

A month passed in this way, and because Shen Fengwang was eager to marry Bai Ruofu, Bai Ruofu was also very busy.

Shen Fengwang even gave her a house with a plaque that read "Bai Mansion" hanging at the entrance.

He said, "Ah Fu, the Bai family is your maternal home. You are not alone."

Her aunt's family was taken over to look after her house and yard.

The Empress Dowager in the palace even sent a nanny to teach Bai Ruofu.

Bai Ruofu became known as the woman who "rose to prominence and became a phoenix" in everyone's eyes.

Once engaged, she could no longer see Gu Yunye.

Gu Yunye didn't recognize many characters, and Bai Ruofu wanted to write him a letter, but she was worried that he wouldn't be able to understand it.

She then asked Granny Xue to take good care of Gu Yunye and to convey her apologies to him.

Ultimately, they were destined to be together but not to stay together.

But she didn't know that Gu Yunye was actually planning to assassinate Bai Ruofu for her sake...

-

The news that Shen Fengwang had been rescued by Bai Ruofu spread throughout the capital, and Gu Yunye naturally heard about it as well.

Ever since Bai Ruofu met Granny Xue, Gu Yunye has never seen his beloved again.

He tossed and turned day and night, unable to sleep, and repeatedly requested an audience, but was always evaded.

Until he heard the news that Bai Ruofu was about to marry Shen Fengwang.

His heart ached terribly. Afu… his Afu… she must have been forced, right?

So he secretly learned martial arts, intending to kill Shen Fengwang.

It was as if this way, Bai Ruofu would return to his side.

But how could he possibly defeat Shen Fengwang, who had practiced martial arts since childhood?

In no time, he was pinned against the wall with his hands behind his back.

The immense pain and the gloom in his heart brought tears of regret to his eyes.

Shen Fengwang leaned close to his ear and asked, "You... want to kill me?"

"Yes! I'll kill you, you beast! You beast who bullied Afu!"

Gu Yunye gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Shen Fengwang. His eyes were red-rimmed, and the pain in his heart was palpable.

Shen Fengwang chuckled and released him.

Gu Yunye was somewhat surprised: "You...you're not going to kill me?"

“You truly love Afu. In a way, our feelings for Afu are the same. Considering you were willing to risk your life for Afu, I will spare your life.”
