Chapter 125: Chapter 120 Stupid Wang Furen i
Translator: 549690339 |
Xiao Qing was cultivating in the backyard, where one could see the leaves of many medicinal herbs had wilted.
This was because most of their medicinal essence had been absorbed.
After dealing with his own affairs, Qin Niu took advantage of the moonlight and sat down beside the herbs to cultivate.
Unlike Xiao Qing, he practiced the Everlasting Spring Technique, which could, in fact, help the herbs recover quickly, regrowing their medicinal essence.
At that moment, Xiao Qing had reached her limit and had to stop cultivating.
After watching Qin Niu for a while, she did not disturb him but went back to her room to sleep and rest.
The cultivation of most techniques consumes spiritual power.
Many people cultivate for one or two hours, and then recover their spiritual power through rest, meditation, and other means.
The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Niu was about to leave the house when he heard arguing and the sound of something being smashed next door at the Wang Furen’s residence.
“Go if you want, I don’t want to marry that Young Master Lu!”
Wang Wanyan’s angry roar came from inside the house.
“Young Master Lu is none other than the son of the City Commandant of Black Tiger City, his status is incomparably noble! If you are fortunate enough to be chosen by him, not only will you enjoy a lifetime of glory and riches, but even your father will become noble through you. Even our deceased ancestors and your mother will share in the glory. This is true honoring of one’s ancestors, do you understand?”
Wang Furen was making every effort to persuade his daughter.
Outside, a carriage had already stopped there.
It must have come from the city.
One could also see an official servant dressed in a black robe personally acting as the coachman.
“There are many ways to honor one’s ancestors; it doesn’t mean I have to exchange my lifetime of happiness, my dignity, and this body of mine for the glory and wealth that you desire. I don’t covet those. I will strive to cultivate, strive to become a distinguished person like Alt Niu; that is what I want, do you understand?”
Wang Wanyan’s voice was laced with sobbing.
It also contained a stubbornness that seemed about to defy death itself.
“Alt Niu is a man, so he must make his own efforts to strive. As a girl, what are you competing for? Besides, with your outstanding appearance, why wouldn’t you take the broad and easy road instead of insisting on the thorny path? Moreover, becoming a person above others is not that easy. Ah Niu has become a distinguished Insect Master, but that’s one in ten thousand.
If you just get chosen by Young Master Lu, your status will immediately be a thousand times, ten thousand times more noble than Ah Niu’s.
Good daughter, listening to your father won’t be wrong.
There are many women who want to marry Young Master Lu. It was only after great difficulty that I managed to secure an invitation for you. If you miss this opportunity, there will never be another chance to rise to prominence like a phoenix!”
Wang Furen is a merchant, at his core he’s opportunistic, always scheming to seize the greatest benefit.
Why take a detour when there’s a shortcut?
That’s his value and life philosophy.
“I won’t go! If you insist on forcing me, then I will hang myself.”
Wang Wanyan resisted with the threat of death.
“Wan Yan, listen to your father! Ah!”
It was the voice of Wang Furen’s servant girl.
Bang!
The sound of something being smashed again.
“Get lost, you’re just a servant girl, you have no right to meddle in your master’s affairs.”
In her anger, Wang Wanyan’s words were quite hurtful.
“You girl, how can you speak like that?” Wang Furen quickly spoke up for his ‘little wife’.
But at the moment, he was relying on his daughter to go to the city to attend the lantern festival, so he did not reprimand her.
The woman must have been angered and did not speak again.
She didn’t even have the status of a concubine, so she really had no right to interfere in her master’s affairs.
This is the sorrow of a servant girl.
No matter how much she pleases her male master, at most her status is just a bit higher than an ordinary servant’s, with no way to be compared with the young masters and mistresses.
She can’t even sit at the table for meals.
“Today, either I die, or you give up the idea of making me attend the Lantern Festival.”
Wang Wanyan reiterated her determination to Wang Furen.
“Is it that you want to marry Air Niu?” Wang Furen asked his daughter.
She was silent.
“Alt, my foolish daughter, how could you be so confused? Ah Niu has now become an Insect Master and has some small fortune, indeed being the most promising young man within ten miles. But can he compare to Young Master Lu? Marrying him, at most you’ll just be well-fed and warmly dressed, with a little bit of status in the village. If you marry Young Master Lu, then you will be one of the most distinguished figures in Black Tiger City.
You want to cultivate, don’t you?
Once you become Madam Lu, the top cultivation techniques, all kinds of elixirs, all sorts of precious items will be presented to you.
These are things Ah Niu will never be able to give you.”
Wang Furen was speechless, really not understanding how his daughter could be infatuated with the poor boy next door.
