Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1554: Chapter 1555: The One Who Knows Him Best

Liu Feifei had taken a five-day leave from the military camp and was still at home. Hearing the Marquis of Boyang asking her, she hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke about her mutual affection with Liu Buli, which had long been established.

The Marquis of Boyang was amused and frustrated upon hearing this: ”Why didn’t you say it earlier? If you had, I wouldn’t have promised you to another family back then.”

He had many daughters but no sons, so he hoped to marry his daughters well and rely on his sons-in-law in the future. That’s why he had initially promised Liu Feifei to a minister.

At that time, Liu Buli was already a general holding military power.

How could a minister compare with a general who held military power?

If he had known that Liu Buli and his daughter were in love, he naturally would have blessed the union.

Since it was now her own marriage being discussed, Liu Feifei felt a bit shy, her face blushing, and she softly said, ”I didn’t have the chance to say it before, father, you had already promised me to someone else...”

Her father was also concerned about appearances and would never take the initiative to break off an engagement. This led her to join the army herself, making the minister’s family unwilling to wait for her, thus breaking the engagement.

”Now you are a County Princess, yet you speak so softly and timidly. If someone saw this, how could they respect you?” The Marquis of Boyang expressed some dissatisfaction.

Liu Feifei replied, ”No matter what title I have, father, aren’t you still my father? I am in front of you now.”

The Marquis of Boyang felt very gratified listening to these words, nodding in satisfaction. Among all his daughters, this one was the most dear to him.

Then he said, ”You are a County Princess, and he’s now the Duke of Righteous Valor. You two are well-matched, neither wronging the other. It’s fate that brought you two around together again.”

Liu Feifei blushed even deeper.

The Marquis of Boyang sighed, saying that daughters grow up and cannot be kept at home. He then addressed Liu Feifei and his other daughters, ”In the past, I thought of relying on sons-in-law, but now I’ve changed my mind. Now I only wish to rely on you, my daughters. You are my daughters; please don’t abandon your old father in the future.”

The daughters immediately responded, ”What are you saying, father? You are our father, and we will never abandon you in this lifetime.”

Filial piety is greatly valued here.

Moreover, the Marquis of Boyang has always treated them well. How could they possibly neglect their father?

”Good, good, good...” The Marquis of Boyang was extremely pleased to hear his daughters’ words.

...

Xiao Changyi left the Marquis of Boyang’s mansion and returned to the Xiyun King’s mansion. Upon seeing Liu Buli, he didn’t even glance at him before throwing out the words, ”You can go propose now,” and then entered the Xiyun King’s mansion.

Liu Buli, upon hearing this, initially caught up with Xiao Changyi to express his gratitude. Then he returned, bringing a matchmaker and betrothal gifts to propose at the Marquis of Boyang’s mansion.

Two days later, Liu Buli came to inform An Jing and Xiao Changyi that he and Liu Feifei would be married on the tenth of March next year.

Du Aya and Qi Gaoda’s wedding date was also set, six days after Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen. Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen would marry on the twenty-second of January, while Du Aya and Qi Gaoda would marry on the twenty-eighth of January.

Ye Zhi was busy with the wedding preparations with Gong Juechen and arranging their newly purchased house as their future home. Thus, Ye Zhi was out almost every day, not at the Xiyun King’s mansion.

This meant An Jing rarely saw Ye Zhi.

On this day, the twenty-fifth of December.

Having nothing to do, Xiao Changyi and An Jing were teaching their four children how to practice swordplay.
