Feng Jingxuan was also rare to be on the same side as him, and he continued: ”Who knows if Master Hou ever met such an expert, or if he really was an expert or a scammer. Miss Bai might as well think about it a little more, and look for the Young Master who truly knows what he can rely on. ”
”Does Your Highness mean that this marquis was lying?” Feng Linyuan looked at Feng Jingye and Feng Jingxuan with a smile that was not really a smile.
”Your Highness, you two are doing this for the sake of the Miss Bai. The Dingyuan Marquis must have at least brought out some evidence to prove that those eight words are true, right? Otherwise, why would we believe it! ” Liu Zhixuan was reasonable.
”That's right, Miss Bai needs to be blessed for their entire life, Master Hou should at least give them evidence, right?” Chen Yanzhi followed up.
The corner of Feng Linyuan's mouth raised into a faint smile, ”Although this duke can't take out the evidence, it's not impossible to prove whether or not the marriage between this duke and Miss Bai was heaven's will.”
Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Feng Linyuan calmly.
”How?” Feng Jingxuan asked.
Feng Linyuan replied with a smile: It's fine to draw lots, it's fine to draw rope, anything that can prove the will of the heavens, I can test it right?
”Alright.” Feng Jingye nodded his head without hesitation and ordered the Gaochang Marquis: ”For matters of marriage, let's use string drawing. I also ask the Gaochang Marquis to send someone to prepare a ball of red rope.”
One end of the rope was tied to Bai Zheng's wrist, while the other end was tied into a knot in Bai Zheng's hand, while the other end was placed in front of Feng Linyuan, waiting to see if he could successfully pull out the rope binding Bai Zheng's wrist from the pile of rope.
Feng Linyuan gave her a look, and the Gaochang Marquis understood. Waving her hand, a servant girl quickly walked over with a large pile of red ropes.
”Your Highness, isn't this rope a bit too much?” Soong Yiqing gasped.
Normally, he would only be able to pull out a few dozen or so of them, but when he looked at the number that the servant girl had brought over, he could tell that there were at least forty to fifty of them.
”Marquis Dingyuan has heaven's will to help, so there's no need to worry. Why would Young Master Soong be in such a hurry?” Feng Jingye sneered.
This Feng Linyuan had won all the matches on the way here, if one were to say how lucky he was, he would have already used up all his resources. He didn't believe that the fellow would still be able to hit him under such circumstances!
Bai Zheng blinked her eyes, lowered her eyebrows and gave a light ”Okay” in response.
The servant walked forward, and just as she was about to tie the red rope for her, Bai Zheng suddenly spoke out: ”Are you going to let Bai Zheng personally choose this red rope?”
The servant girl turned around and glanced at Feng Jingye, who pondered for a moment before nodding: ”As long as it concerns Miss's life, I will let Miss Bai choose for herself.”
”Thank you, Your Highness.” Bai Zheng saluted before she took the red ropes from the servant girl's hands and looked at them one by one.
Everyone held their breath as they watched Bai Zheng pick the rope from the pile that was exactly the same. Her serious look made it seem as if the rope had different faces.
”Miss Bai, does this rope look different?” Feng Jingxuan could not help but ask.
Bai Zheng laughed as she shook her head, ”There's nothing different. Bai Zheng just wanted to choose one that she found pleasing to the eye.”
Feng Linyuan had a smile on his face as he looked at Bai Zheng's myriad of choices. Finally, he picked up a red rope and placed it in the hands of the servant girl: ”I'll choose this one.”
The servant took the rope and carefully tied it to Bai Zheng's wrist. Then, he tied the remaining red rope into a knot and gave it to Bai Zheng.
Feng Linyuan walked forward, and just as he was about to smoke the red rope, he heard Feng Jingye's voice slowly ring out: ”Since this is a test of heaven's will, this opportunity can only come once. Master Hou must cherish it well, don't draw the wrong rope.”
Feng Linyuan smiled slightly: ”Prince, I will never be able to keep up with your words. If I choose anyone this time, I must comply with the will of the heavens,” after saying that, he glanced over coldly and said meaningfully: ”After all, disobeying the will of the heavens and defying the will of the heavens, in the end, is not a good thing.”
