Seventh Brother Is a Venerable Deity

Once Feng Yu Heng’s words were spoken, Qing Yu understood. It turned out that her young miss had set a trap. Her young miss really was… too terrible.

Xuan Tian Ming, however, laughed and calculated: “With the jade lost, the person that stole it naturally can be found. The jade will be brought back, and they will need to pay reparations. That 80 million taels will be considered as reparations.”

Feng Yu Heng was a bit worried: “80 million taels is not a small amount. Will they be willing? As I see it, she won’t be able to bring out that much in a moment’s notice. She said earlier that she would need to scrape it together. That 50 million taels is readily available. How about just asking for the 50 million taels! Don’t force them too far. Who knows, maybe there will be another chance to scam these people in the future.”

Xuan Tian Ming nodded: “We’ll do as beloved consort says.”

Qing Yu facepalmed. How did these two end up just resolving the matter like this? Would they agree? But after some thinking, if the ninth prince and imperial daughter Ji An spoke up, who dared to not agree? So what if it was Lan Zhou’s prefect? Having come to the capital, they should not think of themselves as particularly powerful officials. Any old official that was chosen would be of higher rank.

The two drank another cup of tea before Feng Yu Heng gave Qing Yu some advice. After this, she followed Xuan Tian Ming and left. The street was still very lively; however, she was a bit unhappy. Pouting, she said: “If a person is too good looking, it’s no good too. Even just going shopping will attract so much attention. If you don’t wear your mask, your identity is a bit easier to hide, but your face really causes a stir!” She sighed: “Can you do something to avoid this?” While saying this, she pointed to the young ladies that were looking in their direction. Some even followed along. This was truly a headache.

Xuan Tian Ming felt quite good about it, telling her: “That just means that your ability to choose men is quite good.”

A certain person became unhappy, “My ability to choose men? Xuan Tian Ming, wasn’t it you that chose me? I didn’t have any choice, alright! Also, even if I had to choose, your type of face definitely would not be first.”

“Oh?” The person that had always had the utmost self-confidence was puzzled, “If I am not first, who else would your eyes choose?”

“Seventh brother!” She replied very naturally, “In this world, could there be someone that is easier to look at than seventh brother?”

Xuan Tian Ming was defeated. He knew that if he was compared to old seventh’s face, he would have no standing. Forget it, forget it, he was the one that had moved early. Thinking about it now, he really needed to thank the engagement from many years ago. Although he had been extremely against it back then, when he thought about it now, he really had come out with a win. Of course, he also had to thank that battle in the Northwest. He had a very good understanding that if he had not met this girl in the mountains of the Northwest and met with her first, this girl really might not have chosen him. If this girl did not like him, he trusted that based on Feng Yu Heng’s personality, even if it was a marriage arranged by the imperial palace, it would end up being canceled by her.

Seeing that he did not speak, the little girl covered her mouth and smiled; however, she had her neck wrapped around by a certain person, warning: “You are not permitted to shift your affections to another. Seventh brother is a venerable deity. You can look, but forget about blaspheming him.”

She vigorously nodded, “Don’t worry. Seventh brother is for worshipping. I am very clear on this point.”

Xuan Tian Ming smiled bitterly on the inside. It was not as though he could not tell what old seventh was feeling. If she really directed her feelings toward someone else, he would not react well, but it had to be Xuan Tian Hua. It did not even give him any room to refuse. It was as Feng Yu Heng said, seventh brother was to be worshipped. Even he, Xuan Tian Ming, felt that this was the case.
