Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 2338 - 2337: The Champion Cannot Perform as a Man (Fifth Update)
"Life on earth is just a few decades, and I’ve experienced a lot of joys and sorrows. It’s pretty nice to see something different." Tang Feng thought of Princess Fu’an, his expression somewhat gloomy.
Bringing Tang Feng along was a good thing. Not only did they have another helper, but he also had Space, so there was extra assurance in case of any trouble.
"Alright, but the sea is dangerous and harsh. Be mentally prepared," Bai Ruozhu said.
Tang Feng looked smug, "Can hardship affect me?"
Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, "Don’t be too smug, or else I might regret giving Space back to you."
Tang Feng touched his nose. If Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun had accepted it at the time, he really wouldn’t be able to be so smug.
"Then I’ll go to the Palace to see the Emperor now. Wait for my good news." With that, Tang Feng left.
...
In the Imperial Study Room, Tang Yin looked at the exhausted Tang Feng and said helplessly, "Officials returning to the Capital from an external post must submit a report in advance. How can you just come back without a word?"
Tang Feng smiled somewhat carefreely, "My position is idle, so it doesn’t matter whether I’m there or not. I came back to request the Emperor for instructions, wanting to join the fleet and see the sea with Jiang Yichun and them."
"You all have such a great relationship!" Tang Yin said somewhat angrily, but in truth, he was somewhat jealous. Jealous that Tang Feng could come and go as he pleased, while he, though worshipped by officials and citizens as the ruler, had no freedom.
What would the other side of the sea be like? He actually wanted to see it, too.
"The Ma Family submitted a report asking me to arrange a marriage between Ma Feicui and you. What do you think?" Tang Yin suddenly said with a stern face. He was in a bad mood and could only make Tang Feng feel worse.
Tang Feng showed a face full of disgust, "I don’t want to marry a wife, and I definitely don’t want to consider the daughter of the Ma Family, especially that promiscuous woman who forcefully takes young civilians. Your Majesty, you should know what I hate the most."
Tang Yin was taken aback, recalling the matter with Princess Fu’an. He sighed, "General Ma is very hopeful for this marriage. You should think about how to refuse him."
"I was drugged and harmed by Princess Fu’an, and I am no longer capable of being a husband. Marrying the daughter of the Ma Family would only harm her." Tang Feng suddenly said with a grave face.
"What!" Tang Yin couldn’t help but shout, losing composure in a way he hadn’t for a long time.
He quickly dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving nearby, but in his heart, he believed Tang Feng’s words seven or eight-tenths.
No normal man would speak of himself like this.
"You and I are like brothers, though we can’t openly acknowledge it. I really hope you can live a good life," Tang Yin sighed with a deep voice.
Tang Feng laughed, "That’s why I’ve said before, I won’t covet your position, otherwise how would I be free and carefree."
Tang Yin’s sympathy that had just arisen vanished; this guy really knew how to rub salt into his wounds!
"Are you telling the truth?" Tang Yin asked, "Can’t Bai Ruozhu and the Sage Doctor cure it?"
"How can Bai Ruozhu cure this? The Sage Doctor senior helped me, but could only try to adjust my condition. But I feel there’s no improvement, so it seems this life will be like this." Tang Feng laughed at himself, "Blame me for being too foolish and getting schemed against by a woman."
"It’s not your fault. I was the one who arranged the marriage, and I misjudged her." Tang Yin’s eyes reddened a bit; none of the Royal Family found happiness easily, making him somewhat sentimental.
"No problem. You can just use my original words to reject Ma Tongfang. If he’s not convinced, let him find a doctor to examine me." Tang Feng said indifferently.
Tang Yin’s face hardened, "Nonsense, if anyone dares to examine you, I’ll behead them first!"
Tang Feng cast a grateful look, "Thank you, but speak truthfully. Ma Tongfang and Ma Feicui are stubborn people. If not made clear, they will find other means. It will save you some trouble, too."
"I..." Tang Yin felt a bit sour; no man would want to bring up such things. It was an insult to a man’s dignity.
"But it’s strange; when Ma Feicui sees Jiang Yichun, she can’t take her eyes off him. Why does she still want to cling to me?" Tang Feng muttered.
Tang Yin’s mouth twitched; suddenly, he thought maybe Ma Feicui was smart, not directly provoking Bai Ruozhu.
As for still wanting to marry Tang Feng, was it to use Tang Feng to befriend the Bai Family and make it easier to get close to Jiang Yichun in the future?
Thinking of this, Tang Yin became even more furious. What did they take his brother for?
After Tang Feng left, Tang Yin struggled for a long time, but ultimately respected his wishes and declined Ma Tongfang. Soon, the word reached Ma Feicui.
"Impossible! To avoid me, he even made up such a lie?" Ma Feicui shouted angrily.
Ma Tongfang’s face turned cold, "Girl, a man would not tarnish his reputation in this regard. He was once captured by Princess Fu’an in Chengshui, probably not less drugged, so being physically weakened is normal."
Ma Feicui’s face changed several times before she finally said, "I like him. Even if he can’t be a husband, I’m willing to marry him!"
"That’s absurd!" Ma Tongfang’s beard bristled in anger, "You may not fear losing face, but our Ma Family cannot afford to! Now tell me, is marrying Tang Feng your only reason?"
Ma Feicui looked serious, "Just to marry him."
She knew that her uncle valued family reputation highly. Where would he allow her to flirt with other men after marriage? He would feel she disgraced the family. If she said it was for anything else, she would have no chance!
Unexpectedly, in less than two days, the conversation between Tang Feng and the Emperor spread throughout the Capital. People on the streets were all discussing that although the Champion was handsome, he couldn’t be a husband.
When Bai Ruozhu heard the news, she nearly fainted from anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "The Ma Family, it must be them!"
In the Imperial Study Room, Tang Yin smashed a Min Yu paperweight in a rage and cursed, "The Ma Family has truly overstepped!"
Meanwhile, in the Ma Family mansion in the Capital, Ma Tongfang angrily found Ma Feicui, glaring at her, "Did you tell people to spread the news? How does the Emperor view our Ma Family now?"
Ma Feicui looked bewildered, "What news? Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"Now everyone in the streets is spreading that Tang Feng can’t be a husband. If it’s not you, then who?" Ma Tongfang roared.
"How could it be me! I don’t mind him, I want to marry him. Why would I ruin his reputation everywhere?" Ma Feicui said wronged.
Ma Tongfang squinted at her for a long time before asking, "Is it really not you?"
"I swear it’s not me, if it were me, may I die a horrible death!" Ma Feicui swore in an agitation.
Ma Tongfang’s eyes deepened, "Then who could it be? Is this targeting Tang Feng, or targeting our Ma Family?"
"Uncle, send someone to catch the rumor spreader. You’ll definitely find clues," Ma Feicui said through gritted teeth. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
