Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1608 Feng Ao Kuai and Mu Fei Jiu (3)

Mu Fei Jiu relaxed her posture.

Since acting was useless, there was no need for her to torture herself. Unlike her sister who was capable of acting as an elegant princess all the time, Mu Fei Jiu only felt that such a thing was torture.

Unless it was necessary, she didn't want to do it.

"Second Young Master Feng is really sharp." Mu Fei Jiu smiled carelessly. "The reputation outside is true."

Feng Ao Kuai smiled lightly. "Some rumors can be trusted but some others couldn't be. I don't know what your view on your marriage would be, Fourth Miss Mu?"

Hearing his polite words, Mu Fei Jiu assembled the words inside her brain first. After a while, she replied, "I don't want much. As long as you respect me and didn't treat me badly, I don't request for many things."

Even though she was very playful and liked to play around, Mu Fei Jiu was very clear of the women's position in this era. Asking for their husband to treat them wholeheartedly was extremely difficult, especially those who had high position.

Many of them would not be satisfied with only one woman and wanted the affection of several women. Not to mention, if they could take concubines from a relatively powerful family, their future would be set.

Mu Fei Jiu knew this much.

She was also not someone who was able to go against the entire trend and era.

What she could do was to go with the flow and hoped that the husband that was selected for her was someone who would respect her.

"I understand." Feng Ao Kuai nodded.

Respect?

He could give it to Mu Fei Jiu easily as long as she was willing to stay by his side and be his partner. If she betrayed him, then he would definitely not be polite.

As someone who had seen the capabilities of his cousin, Feng Ao Kuai never dared to underestimate women. Their position might be low in this era, but he always felt that they have means and ways that couldn't be replicated by them.

Mu Fei Jiu looked at Feng Ao Kuai and silently felt thankful that this was the person who was close to Nan Hua. She admired Nan Hua and seeing that Feng Ao Kuai was also good, she felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.

"I don't have many thoughts about marrying into the position of power. But Mu Family's current position might be a bit embarrassing. There are not many things left." Mu Fei Jiu looked at Feng Ao Kuai helplessly.

Because of Mu Family destruction many years ago, which she actually did behind the scene, Mu Family had long since fallen. At this time, her father was usually staying at home and she had to take care of several shops under her name.

They were clearly not the best option for those who wanted to expand their connection.

As for their relation with General Mu?

There was also the case of separation many years ago. Aside from asking for help for the sake of her marriage, Mu Fei Jiu would not be so thick skinned to ask for more from them.

Thus, asking for Mu Family's power through her would be impossible.

"I don't have the intention to use my marriage as bargaining chip." Feng Ao Kuai shook his head. In fact, he felt that those big families were harder to deal with.

The current Feng Family situation was not that good either.

He had some distant cousins and others, but they hadn't contacted each other for many years.

The few other cousins were both good and bad. He had just received news from Mu Yan about the sentences that his cousin sent over not long ago. They were the few people whom Feng Ao Kuai could barely categorize as his family.

Others?

That was impossible.

Feng Ao Kuai didn't want to be put at the forefront and stand in the limelight either. Even though Mu Family's situation was not good, it was not completely bad either. Their history was clear and aside from some bad apples that had appeared, the rest were not that bad.

"I see." Mu Fei Jiu could see Feng Ao Kuai's clear eyes. She didn't know whether he would want to pick concubines or not in the future. But at the very least, she knew that he was being honest in front of her.

"Do you have any objection in regards to my family and my position?" Feng Ao Kuai asked again.

"No, I don't have, Second Young Master Feng."

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "In that case, I'll tell my mother to formally send the marriage request."

Mu Fei Jiu was stunned.

Decided so quickly?

But then again, the marriage in this era was usually settled quickly and then the preparation would take some time. As a woman, Mu Fei Jiu had to embroider several things and Feng Ao Kuai himself had to prepare for his adulthood ceremony in a few months.

"Thank you, Second Young Master Feng."

"Why are you being so polite?" Feng Ao Kuai shook his head. "If you're worried that you don't know me that much, we can start by sending letters. I might be busy to prepare for the Imperial Examination, but I can still spare some time to write letters."

Mu Fei Jiu thought about it and nodded. "Yes. That would be good."

Meeting each other every day was clearly not feasible.

The first problem was their reputation and the second one was the fact that they also didn't know what to do when they didn't know each other well.

Thus, they could start through sending letters.

This would enhance their relationship.

"I'll send you back to your cousin." Feng Ao Kuai stood up and looked at Mu Fei Jiu who smiled back and walked half a step behind him. His eyes flickered slightly.

From the playful demeanor that Mu Fei Jiu showed, he didn't expect that she was also attentive in some other things.
