Chapter 404: Chapter 210: Purple Crystal Bamboo, Fragmented Map, Lovers United

"It seems the Liang Family has been so intimidated that they dare not even send a Foundation Establishment Elder to discuss matters."

In a flash.

Fu Changsheng vaguely guessed a possibility.

He immediately said:

"Have Brother Fan bring them to the Council Hall."

.....

Half a cup of tea later.

In the Council Hall.

Brother Fan personally received Liang Zhirui.

After the two exchanged pleasantries.

Whether in conversation or demeanor, Brother Fan exuded a calm and collected aura, giving others a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze.

Liang Zhirui marveled in his heart:

"Indeed, the Fu Family is full of talents. How young is this young man, yet he can independently manage the territory’s miscellaneous affairs."

In their Liang Family.

Members barely in their twenties were still quite immature.

After all, before eighteen, they were cultivating in the mountains, and only after that did they start taking on family tasks.

After waiting for a while.

Footsteps were heard outside the door.

Liang Zhirui instinctively straightened his attire and turned to look outside.

He saw a young man dressed in wide robes, the hem of which fluttered gently with his steps.

Liang Zhirui lifted his gaze and took a quick look at the young man’s face.

He saw a handsome visage with golden brows that hinted at a regal aura, sword-like brows underlining phoenix eyes, with a piercing gaze that commanded respect.

No need to ask.

This must be Patriarch Fu Changsheng of the Fu Family.

Liang Zhirui promptly stood up and saluted:

"Greetings to the Fu Clan Leader"

After Fu Changsheng took his seat, noticing the other’s tense demeanor, he raised his hand slightly:

"No need for excessive courtesy, sit, you requested to see me, does your patriarch have urgent affairs to convey?"

Upon hearing these words, Brother Fan began to withdraw.

However, Liang Zhirui immediately responded:

"Reporting to the Fu Clan Leader, my family patriarch wishes to establish a marriage alliance with your noble family. The late Grand Elder once arranged a marriage between Qianqian and your esteemed Changren, the Chief Steward, but due to overwhelming family affairs, it was repeatedly postponed. May I ask if the esteemed Changren is already married?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Fan instantly halted his steps.

His uncle has been despondent ever since the engagement with the Liang Family’s daughter was called off, even missing the last Elder Council meeting. He had specially asked the family’s people to inquire, learning that his uncle, compared to before, was more buried in dealing with various affairs day and night, even when not required to personally intervene, he took the lead.

This state of affairs has persisted for a long time.

He wanted to console him.

But being junior, it was difficult to bring up, and lacking experience, he didn’t know how to advise, thus he could only occasionally send messages, hoping to divert his uncle’s attention with other affairs.

Now hearing that the Liang Family once again brought up the marriage alliance.

His heart raced fiercely.

The Liang Family had unpleasant dealings with their family because of the shop at Wanning Marketplace, not exactly arch-enemies, but even so they wouldn’t normally initiate a marriage alliance.

However.

On second thought.

Now that the Liang Family is in decline, making overtures at this time seems reasonable.

Thus.

Brother Fan, with a bit of nervousness, looked towards Fu Changsheng.

He naturally hoped his father would agree to the marriage, this way, his uncle could come out of his gloom, and he and the Liang Family’s daughter could finally be together.

Liang Zhirui, too, was as nervous as Brother Fan:

"Fu Clan Leader, we come with utmost sincerity."

Fu Changsheng tapped the table.

If he remembered correctly, the reports mentioned that Liang Qianqian and his elder brother had secretly given birth to a child, who was later sent away by Grand Elder Liang to be raised elsewhere.

Liang Qianqian’s feelings for his elder brother were undoubtedly genuine.

However.

He wasn’t sure if the current patriarch of the Liang Family inherited Grand Elder Liang’s wishes, wanting to use Liang Qianqian to steal the Fu Clan Secret. Just as he was pondering, he caught in the corner of his eye Brother Fan looking at him expectantly.

Fu Changsheng did not outright refuse:

"Concerning this matter, I will consult the concerned party’s opinion before giving your Liang Family a reply."

Saying this.

Fu Changsheng had already lifted his cup to see the guest out.

Once Liang Zhirui left.

Fu Changsheng then asked:

"Brother Fan, just now you seemed like you had something to say?"

"Father, I hope that the Liang Family’s daughter can rekindle her old bond with Uncle."

"Oh, do explain the reasons in detail then."

Seeing Brother Fan’s rare expression of eagerness, Fu Changsheng sensed there might be a hidden story within.

Brother Fan got up and reported on what had transpired with Fu Changren of late.

Finally.

He whispered:

"Father, out of selfishness, I hope uncle can fulfill his wish."

After listening, Fu Changsheng felt filled with remorse.

Originally, from gathered intelligence indicating that Grand Elder Liang intended to use the Liang Family’s daughter to infiltrate the Fu Family, he instinctively rejected the marriage. With the controversy over the Wanning Marketplace shop, it was a natural progression to shelve the engagement.

Back then, it was also his elder brother who took the initiative to annul the engagement.

But he hadn’t realized how deeply his elder brother felt.

He had overlooked it.

Given the circumstances.

The marriage matter had no further reasons for hesitation. Among the four sons of the Fu Family, only his elder brother has yet to reach Foundation Establishment; however, in terms of contributions to the family, his elder brother has diligently managed the family’s affairs without a word of complaint, deserving the highest credit, regardless of the Liang Family’s intentions.

This wish of his elder brother must be fulfilled for him.

After all.

The Liang Family’s daughter’s heart belongs to his elder brother:

"Brother Fan, send a message to your uncle, telling him to prepare well to become a groom."

"Yes, father!"

Brother Fan rejoiced.

With a response.

He quickly took out the Communication Jade Talisman, immediately relayed that the Liang Family had come, and that Fu Changsheng had agreed to the marriage, finally adding: "Uncle, the fifteenth of this month is an auspicious day for the wedding!"

....

Fu Family Territory, Luofeng Mountain.

Fu Changren, who was as if spinning like a top, had become haggard like an old man. Upon hearing Brother Fan’s message, he waved away the stewards, closed the array.

Tears immediately fell down:

"Qianqian"

.....

Liang Family’s domain.

Nanny Liang, hearing the good news relayed from the patriarch, cried tears of joy, rushed from the bedroom, stumbling several times unnoticed, and when she arrived at Liang Qianqian’s bedside, she sobbed:

"Miss, Miss, the patriarch has agreed to your marriage with the Fu Family’s young master. Miss, you are about to become a bride!"

On the bed, Liang Qianqian’s tightly closed eyes, her eyelids trembled.
