Chapter 673

"Uh..."

Xu Fengnian was completely numb. Hongshu, my Hongshu, what has happened to you? Shouldn't you be righteously refusing? Why are you hesitating and wavering?

One is a stranger he has never met and knows nothing about, the other is a young master he has spent every day with since childhood; is it really that hard to make a decision? Is it really that hard!

As long as Hongshu showed the slightest bit of reluctance, he could immediately use it as an excuse to turn this matter down.

"Fengnian, what do you say?"

Lin Fan looked at Xu Fengnian with a playful expression. This kid had great luck with women, and there were many women connected to him. He hadn't even ruthlessly cut them all off for him yet, and here he was, hesitating.

Should he bet on whether he could round up all the women connected to him? And then let this future Prince of Beiliang grow old in solitude?

"As for this, in principle, I personally have no objections. However, Hongshu, I think my brother-in-law won't force anyone against their will. As long as you say one word that you are unwilling, then this matter will end right here, how about that?"

Xu Fengnian signaled hard to Hongshu with his eyes, indicating for her to refuse.

"I am willing!"

"That's good. Brother-in-law, you heard it too; it's Hongshu herself who is unwilling. I already said I had no objections, but you also know that forcing someone against their will is not good, right!"

Hongshu heard Xu Fengnian say he had no objections, so naturally, she agreed to go with Lin Fan.

Although she was a death warrior left to Xu Fengnian by Wu Su, if Xu Fengnian himself was willing to give her away, then she couldn't blame her.

And Xu Fengnian hadn't even heard clearly what Hongshu said before he spoke a long string of words.

It wasn't until he felt everyone looking at him with straight, piercing gazes that he realized something was wrong.

"Hongshu, what did you just say?"

After Xu Fengnian reacted, he turned his head back to look at Hongshu in disbelief, somewhat doubting his own ears.

"I said I am willing!"

Although Hongshu's voice was soft, it was full of firmness. Even facing the incredulous Xu Fengnian, her expression did not change.

"You are willing? You are willing! This, this, this, alright, then I should also facilitate this union. You should just leave with my brother-in-law!"

Although Xu Fengnian found it somewhat hard to accept, since things had reached this point, what other choice did he have?

"Since that is the case, then many thanks to Fengnian for your fulfillment!"

Lin Fan looked at Xu Fengnian's expression, which looked as if he had eaten excrement, and couldn't help but laugh and express his thanks.

"No need for courtesy. I am feeling a bit unwell, I will return to my room to rest first!"

Xu Fengnian returned to his small courtyard in distress to grieve.

Xu Weixiong and Xu Zhihu looked at each other, then smiled helplessly. There was no helping it; the trouble Xu Fengnian had caused himself, he could only bear it himself.

"It seems Hongshu is very much liked by Fengnian; I was a bit reckless today!"

Lin Fan smiled, then looked at Xu Xiao with an apologetic expression.

"Sigh, Fengnian is just too sentimental; it can't really be called liking. If Hongshu can follow you and take care of Weixiong and Zhihu for us, we can also be more at ease!"

Xu Xiao didn't take it to heart. Xu Fengnian had never favored these maidservants, so he might not truly like Hongshu.

"That is good, otherwise I would feel my conscience is a bit uneasy!"

Lin Fan wore a feigned expression, and Xu Weixiong and Xu Zhihu, who were on the side, almost couldn't help but laugh.

"To say something that will make my father-in-law happy: before I came to Beiliang, I went to Beiliang City first, killed Xie Guanying, and destroyed the Imperial Observatory. The Liyang Dynasty didn't even dare to let out a fart. Originally, I intended to solve the matter of those who plotted against the Princess Consort back then, but with a son like Xu Fengnian here, if I, this son-in-law, did everything, it would make him seem too unfilial. So, I left him a few enemies, so he won't be too bored in the future."

Lin Fan thought for a moment and decided to tell Xu Xiao about his killing spree in the capital.

"Good, haha, truly good! That guy Zhao Chun, who bullies the weak and fears the strong, truly deserves it. Once the Imperial Observatory is destroyed, the Liyang Dynasty's fortune will be greatly reduced. Zhao Chun will probably have a massive headache. This is the best news I have heard in all these years!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Prince, the time is about right; it is time for dinner!"

Just at this moment, someone below came to remind Xu Xiao.

"Perfect. Worthy son-in-law, let us have dinner!"

Xu Xiao waved his hand to order his subordinates to start the banquet, and Lin Fan took his women to eat with Xu Xiao.

"Father-in-law, are we not calling Fengnian?"

After sitting down, Lin Fan still showed concern for his brother-in-law.

"No need to worry about him. Right now, he probably has no mood to eat. His small courtyard is fully equipped; when he is hungry, naturally someone will cook for him."

"How come, am I not allowed to eat with you all?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Fengnian came himself at this moment. It seems his mindset adjusted quite quickly.

"You can, you can, you can! Come, sit down quickly. Today's dishes include what you love to eat!"

Xu Xiao hurriedly said with a fawning smile.

Speaking of which, Xu Xiao's nickname is the Human Butcher, but in terms of family status, he truly is at the bottom!

Xu Fengnian, that playboy, always called Xu Xiao by his name. Xu Weixiong is the nightmare of the entire Beiliang Prince's Mansion; everyone fears her. Only Xu Zhihu is not afraid of her, but when Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian see Xu Weixiong, it is simply like mice seeing a cat.

"Eat quickly, why are you bullying the old man Xu Xiao?"

Xu Weixiong glared at Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian promised Hongshu away himself, and now he is in a bad mood and coming to find trouble with Xu Xiao; he is truly useless!

"Hahaha, eat, eat, eat! Sister, you like this the most, eat more!"

Xu Fengnian's legs went weak after being glared at by Xu Weixiong, and he hurriedly put on a fawning smile just like Xu Xiao.

Lin Fan smiled on the side. The food chain of the Beiliang Prince's Mansion was already very obvious. Xu Xiao was clearly at the very bottom; what Human Butcher? In front of his relatives, he wasn't worth mentioning at all.

"In that case, we should also bid farewell and leave!"

After finishing the meal, Lin Fan prepared to take Xu Weixiong, Xu Zhihu, and the others to leave.

"Lin Fan, take good care of my eldest sister and second sister, otherwise, when I achieve the Land Immortal realm, I will definitely settle the score with you! And Hongshu, oh, and Qingniao, and Jiang Ni, woooo, why do you always make things difficult for me!"

Xu Fengnian became more distressed as he spoke, and in the end, he couldn't help but sob.

"Hahaha, then I can't wait. After all, it won't be long before I shatter the void and leave this world. If you want to settle the score with me, then cultivate hard and shatter the void early. When that time comes, we will meet again in another world!"

Lin Fan rode a crane and took Hongshu, Nangong Pushe, Xu Weixiong, and Xu Zhihu, the four women, to leave, leaving only his hearty voice behind.

"Fengnian, a great man need not worry about having no wife; when the time comes, Dad will find you a better one!"

Xu Xiao patted Xu Fengnian's shoulder and comforted him.

"Jiang Ni is the Princess of Western Chu; when Western Chu restores its country, she will be an Empress. Hongshu is well-behaved and considerate, with a faint fragrance on her body. Qingniao is firm, resolute, and loyal. Where are you going to find better ones?"

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes at Xu Xiao and turned to return to his small courtyard.
