Chapter 493 Hurry up and come up with a plan
It was both unexpected and terrifying, yet it also seemed to be getting interesting.
Madam Wu, clutching her handkerchief, asked curiously, "Is that really how it is?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Indeed! My son even thought of this 'cutting off the fuel supply' strategy."
Mrs. Wu hummed in agreement, then, as if remembering something, grasped her son's hand again, "Your aunt..."
Wu Qingfeng smiled slightly, "Mother, don't worry, we are already thinking of a solution."
"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Wu held her son's hand, her eyes suddenly reddening again, "And..."
Wu Qingfeng grasped his mother's hand in return, saying, "I have been investigating my mother all along."
Madam Wu's lips trembled slightly as she remained silent. In the first few years after Feng'er's birth, if it weren't for her younger sister, she and Feng'er would probably have been worn down long ago.
Over the years, although she has been confined to her own backyard, she has been able to live a carefree life, thanks in large part to the 20 troops that her sister and brother-in-law have stationed at the border.
It's just a pity for the sisters; although they both live in the capital, they rarely have the chance to meet in private.
My younger sister always felt that she was in a difficult situation and was afraid that the matter of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion would drag her down again, so she only reported good news and not bad news.
So much so that she only learned of such a serious matter as a difficult childbirth when her mother-in-law kowtowed until her head bled from hitting the stone lion in the Wu mansion.
By the time she arrived, her sister's child had already been lost.
This matter has always been a heavy weight on her mind, and a thorn deeply embedded in her heart.
When Feng'er ruined her future by being sent to a post outside the capital, she was a thousand times unwilling.
But Feng'er said that there might be clues about her sister's unfortunate child here, so she never objected again.
When the Wu family was putting pressure on her, she stepped out into the public eye for the first time in so many years, after living in the backyard, and argued with the man to ensure that Feng'er could leave the capital smoothly.
Actually, a large part of the reason she was willing to come here with those two boys was for the sake of that child.
Doesn't she miss her son? Of course she does.
But if she lives in the capital, her son will be under less pressure.
She had no hope left in this life, only wishing that Feng'er would have a smooth and stable life.
But she always wanted to see her sister's child, hear him call her "Auntie," and then properly bring the child to her sister and tell him that his mother was the best in the world.
So she came, and she planned to stay for a long time.
Thinking of Lin Chang'er again, she asked Wu Qingfeng seriously, "Feng'er, have you thought it through regarding your relationship with that Miss Lin?"
Wu Qingfeng said, "My son has made up his mind."
Madam Wu continued, "Even if she were just the daughter of an unknown scholar in the countryside, a second-marriage woman with two stepchildren, would you still be willing?"
"My son is happy to accept it."
"really?"
Wu Qingfeng nodded emphatically.
Mrs. Wu continued, "Even if we encounter difficulties in the future, we won't regret it?"
"I would rather die than regret it."
Madam Wu smiled with satisfaction, "Good, good, as expected of my son, Huo Junyi. In that case, I'll have someone propose marriage for you another day, shall I?"
Although it is a rural area, etiquette must still be observed, with the traditional matchmaker and betrothal ceremony performed without exception.
We can't let that girl suffer, following him without any status or recognition, and doing things for him behind the scenes.
Such shameless behavior is something only people from upright families would do.
Wu Qingfeng paused, a blush creeping up her ears. She was delighted, but still smiled and shook her head, reassuring Madam Wu, "Mother, don't worry."
"How can I not be anxious?" Madam Wu stood up again. "Now that my nanny and I have moved into the young lady's house, without any official status or title, won't we become a laughing stock?"
It's not like he's marrying into the family; even if he did, he wouldn't bring his parents with him. As for getting married, that's even more out of the question.
However, the engagement was made under duress, and the matter was urgent, which is also a valid explanation.
Madam Wu frowned and said, "In any case, we must come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible!"
