Chapter 495 But it depends on Mother's arrangements
Madam Wu was taken aback again. She carefully considered her son's words and thought to herself that she had been narrow-minded.
How can a young girl like her, with such a magnanimous heart, be unworthy of Feng'er?
The two shared similar interests and were a perfect match.
It's a pity that we can't announce it to the world right now, but we can't just keep dragging this out and letting the girl suffer, can we?
Moreover, things are uncertain, and if someone poachs your partner, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Madam Wu's mind raced, and finally she took a deep breath and said, "Feng'er, how about this?"
"Although we can't make things public for the sake of the stability of the coastal people, we can't just let them follow us without any official status, can we?"
"How about we arrange the marriage privately between our two families first, without telling anyone else? Just let our two families know."
After a pause, she said, "Of course, this is like an arranged marriage, a betrothal in the womb. After you have accomplished what you want to do, the formalities of marriage, including the three letters and six rites, are all indispensable."
Now it was Wu Qingfeng's turn to be shocked. Why did his mother seem so anxious?
He was even more anxious than him!
“Mother,” Wu Qingfeng was naturally unwilling to wrong Lin Chang’er. Even if it was just a pre-arranged engagement, he didn’t want to do it secretly behind closed doors. But he also knew in his heart that now was not a good time.
"Chang'er and I have already discussed it, so why go through all this trouble?"
Doesn't he understand Chang'er's character? Once she's made up her mind, she won't change it, so he's at ease.
But Mrs. Wu was still worried. "It's not a matter of trouble or not. This young girl is willing to stake her time and future on you. Shouldn't we give her some reassurance?"
"Oh, now I'm helping you start from scratch. This isn't just starting from scratch, it's building a ladder for you to climb to the top."
"Once you climb up the ladder, won't women still throw themselves at you? What if you can't control yourself? What will happen to those girls then?"
A man's heart is most fickle. Even if a marriage is arranged, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind. But at least, he can keep his position as the legal wife. As long as the young girl is skillful, those other women can only be outsiders.
At the very least, one shouldn't hand over the empire one has built to another woman and expect her to reap the benefits without sowing.
Is she willing to let her son go out and live with other women?
In any case, she shouldn't be shortchanged.
Mrs. Wu felt that she was thinking a bit too far ahead.
But the Wu family has a criminal record; Feng'er's father was a "lovestruck bastard."
If the root of the problem is rotten, you can't blame her for not trusting her son emotionally.
Now he's making such a solemn vow, but that love-struck scoundrel was once a shining star who stole her heart. And what happened to him?
Oh man.
Who knows, maybe when they reach that age, the bad seeds will awaken?
Although she shouldn't, she couldn't help but think that way.
The concept of inheritance is terrifying.
Therefore, there needs to be a daughter who can keep Feng'er in check and prevent him from making mistakes.
Wu Qingfeng's face grew darker and darker as he listened, finding it all absurd. He had never imagined, nor dared to imagine, that he was seen as such a monstrous figure in his mother's eyes.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken, but he knew in his heart that it all stemmed from the absurdity of his good father.
The mother was also just a victim.
From the victim's perspective, what's wrong with taking precautions for her chosen daughter-in-law?
He should even thank her for treasuring Chang'er so much.
Thinking this, he slowly exhaled the pent-up frustration in his heart and nodded, "Alright, if Chang'er is willing, I will follow Mother's arrangements!"
