Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

She spoke softly: "Xiao Ren, Qianqian told me you have no other family at home, drifting alone in the outside world is truly difficult."

Therefore, I had the thought of letting you come to the residence to live with us. From now on, we are family, and we will support and care for each other no matter when or where."

Saying this, An Wangfei paused slightly, then added: "You can rest assured, we do not mean to humiliate you."

Ouyang Chengren, hearing An Wangfei's explanation, nodded in response: "Aunt, you flatter me! Actually, Qianqian has already explained everything to me; how could I not know your kindness?"

And now I am penniless, and I do not want to watch Qianqian suffer with me. Although I had some savings before, due to the previous battle, news spread that I died on the battlefield, and fortunately with the help of a noble person did I barely save my life."

At that time, I used all the remaining money to thank my life-saving benefactor, to repay his great kindness."

A fallen person like me, favored by Uncle and Aunt not to disdain me, willing to accept me and betroth Qianqian to me, is truly the greatest honor of my life, and I should be grateful!"

Hearing these words, An Wangfei could not help but have tears welling in her eyes, her voice slightly choked as she said: "Xiao Ren, having experienced such life-and-death trials, you must have suffered bitterly, and surely your body is covered in scars... Alas, money is merely an external object; as long as one is alive, it is better than anything."

That is also good. In the future, you need not go to that cruel and ruthless battlefield to fight and struggle anymore; you can stay peacefully in this prosperous and lively Jingcheng, and live a peaceful and tranquil life."

When the time comes to find a suitable opportunity, let your Uncle find you a position, from then on live a stable life, and with Qianqian live in harmony, spending the rest of your life together is not bad."

An Wangfei's words had just fallen, and everyone present was shocked! Qianqian and Shangguan Xingyu were even more caught off guard; things actually went so smoothly as wished;

In contrast, An Wang was completely unexpected—this stinky brat actually wants to take away my precious daughter? Not only did I not get to settle accounts with him, my wife even wants me to find him a position...

It really makes me angry to death! Just as An Wang was furious beyond endurance and preparing to speak, he heard Ouyang Chengren speak first: "Aunt, there is truly no need to go to such trouble. This junior knows well that a man should be self-reliant and independent, and should make a living and establish a career relying on his own true talents and learning; how could he everywhere depend on the elders to lend a hand?"

An Wang, hearing this, secretly thought to himself: Hmm, what this child said is very reasonable.

Just as he was about to nod in agreement, he saw An Wangfei impatiently interject: "Even so, since there is a shortcut available, why go far when near is at hand? Moreover, we are family now! Not hiding it from you, from the moment you stepped into the residence gate, I have regarded you as one of our own!"

Since we are family, helping each other is a matter of course! In the future, when you marry Qianqian and she enters the door, if you can find a suitable position, the husband and wife loving each other and living in harmony, surely that is what we would be happy to see!"

An Wang, hearing these words, was instantly furious—this matter hasn't even begun, where does the talk of "family" come from?

However, before he could retort, Ouyang Chengren could no longer contain his inner excitement and shouted loudly: "Then does Aunt's words mean that you have already agreed to the marriage between this junior and Qianqian?"

An Wang was about to speak when he heard An Wangfei interject: "That is natural. Next year Qianqian will reach the age of Coming-of-age Ceremony, and we can choose an auspicious day to let you two children get married..."

However, before her words fell, An Wang suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and shouted angrily: "Enough! This matter, this Prince has not yet nodded in agreement!"

His voice was like Surprise thunder, shocking everyone present, and they all turned their gazes toward him.

An Wang's face was extremely gloomy, sparks of anger flashing in his eyes. He continued: "This Prince thinks that, judging by your current age, you are truly not a match for Qianqian. Moreover, you do not even possess the most basic ability to maintain Qianqian's daily living expenses. This Prince feels this matter must be carefully considered, and absolutely cannot be decided so rashly!"

After speaking, he glared fiercely at Ouyang Chengren, as if full of dissatisfaction toward him.

An Wang's merciless words were like a sharp Sword, piercing straight into the hearts of An Wangfei and Ouyang Chengren.

Both of them instantly turned ashen-faced, and Qianqian beside them was so frightened her face lost all color, her heart hanging in midair, feeling anxious and uneasy.

An Wangfei's face was gloomy like the bottom of a pot. She stared fixedly at the man before her and spoke coldly: "If that is the case, then arrange a position for Xiao Ren first. Wait until next year when Qianqian comes of age and performs the Coming-of-age Ceremony; by then his career should have some achievements and become stable. That time would be a good time for them to marry!"

However, An Wang completely did not understand the deep meaning in his wife's words. He looked blankly and responded: "What? No, my wife, what I just said was that I do not agree to this marriage! I have clearly expressed opposition, so why find him a position?"

Facing An Wang's questioning and incomprehension, An Wangfei showed not the slightest panic or anger.

On the contrary, her face remained unusually calm, but this calmness made An Wang feel an unprecedented pressure—like the suffocating Peaceful before a storm.

Sure enough, immediately afterward, An Wangfei slowly squeezed out these words from between her teeth: "Oh... I see. So it seems this household is all decided by you, and I have no right to express my opinion?"

Before her words fell, An Wang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body turning cold, even shivering several times. Although fear had already occupied his heart, he still mustered his spirit and stammered: "My... my wife, please calm down. This Prince will personally enter the palace tomorrow to see if there is a suitable matter for Xiao Ren. As for this marriage, it can be delayed a bit; we can discuss it again next year!"

Seeing An Wang finally yield and make a concession, An Wangfei then nodded in satisfaction and stopped the tense standoff with An Wang.

After all, in front of outsiders, she still needed to give some face to her husband as a Prince. Thus, she immediately turned around, refocused her attention on the dining table, and continued to enthusiastically serve food to Ouyang Chengren, smiling as she said: "Xiao Ren, don't mind him. Hurry and eat more rice. When you have free time, come play often. Treat this place as your own home!"
