The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 1087 Don’t mess with me

In this day and age, there are those who seek free food, free drinks, and free warmth, and there are even those who seek free marriage? If it were an ordinary day, Qin Fangfei would never say such words to force Chi Shuang to marry her, making her embarrassed and unable to step down.

But today the boat was filled with joy, and with Zheng Qiao'er at the helm, she raised her wrist and said, "Shuang'er, come here."

Chi Shuang's cheeks flushed, and she leaned over obediently, calling softly, "Godmother."

Zheng Qiao'er stroked her long black hair, a kind light in her eyes. "Since you came into my Huguogong Mansion as my daughter, my 'good' life has been complete. If we can marry a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law on the same day, it will be a blessing bestowed by our ancestors."

She paused, then gently took Chi Shuang's hand. "I watched Chu Yang grow up. Apart from anything else, his character alone means he will never let you suffer the humiliation of the harem. If you agree, I'll be relieved. Of course, if you don't want to marry, my Duke of the Guards will support you for the rest of your life."

Zheng Qiaoer's words not only provided a decent way out, but also left enough room for maneuver.

Instead of being roasted on the fire, Chi Shuang felt warmed in her heart.

Especially seeing Ma Chuyang put aside his usual casualness, he solemnly bowed to everyone and said, "Ma Chuyang has admired Miss Chi for many years, and I will marry you in this life." After a pause, he turned to Qin Fangfei and said, "Mother, I am willing to wait until the day when Miss Chi agrees willingly."

These words were ostensibly spoken to his mother, but in reality, they were meant to honor Chi Shuang in front of everyone on the boat. No matter how urgent the marriage, it couldn't be more urgent than a girl's wishes.

Qin Fangfei had just spoken carelessly, having seen the Tang family's impending wedding. But now, after hearing her son's words, she understood.

The obstacle between the two of them was never love, but must have been something that was blocking them.

So as long as we understand the matter and resolve it properly, won’t we be able to get what we want?

Qin Fangfei didn't regret her gaffe; at least it had shown her feelings. She wholeheartedly hoped this daughter-in-law would marry into the family, which was the greatest kindness she could offer.

Qin Fangfei has always been decisive in her actions. That night, she ordered her personal nanny to light the lamp and go to invite someone.

As Chi Shuang stepped into the cabin, Ma Chuyang had already received the news. He didn't even have time to fasten his outer robe and hurried to his mother's residence in the night dew.

He stood outside the carved cabin door, hearing the faint clinking of teacups from within. The moonlight cast his shadow on the porthole, revealing a rare sense of anxiety.

In fact, he was also worried because of his concern. With his mother's character and her sworn brotherhood with the wife of the Duke of Huguo, it was impossible for her to make things difficult for Chi Shuang.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, and the hatch swung open. Chi Shuang stepped out, holding the silk lantern, her cheeks still flushed.

Seeing Ma Chuyang standing outside, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her eyes three points brighter than the moonlight in the center of the river.

Suddenly, Qin Fangfei's smiling voice came from inside the cabin, "Shuang'er, remember this. If that brat dares to make you angry in the future, just come find me and deal with him."

Chi Shuang chuckled, replied "yes" with a twinkle in her eyes, and left in a hurry.

Ma Chuyang looked at Miss Chi's back, and his heart finally settled down. But his mother glared at him, "Why? Are you worried that I'll embarrass your sweetheart?"

Ma Chuyang laughed. "Isn't that what's written in the storybooks? The wicked mother-in-law tried to break up a couple, threw a stack of banknotes in the girl's face, and chased her away, saying, 'Take these five thousand taels, and stay away from my son.'"

Qin Fangfei laughed in anger and pretended to twist her son's ear, but in the end she just patted his cheek. "You bastard! Five thousand taels, how dare you say that! Are you worth spending so much money on me?"

Ma Chuyang chuckled and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what did you say to Miss Chi? Did she agree?"

Qin Fangfei glared at her son, "You're so slow in doing things, just like your father."

Ma Chuyang's face suddenly fell, "I am different from Old Ma Ke."

"You'd better be different! If you betray Miss Chi, I will be the first to deal with you."

Ma Chuyang frowned, "Mother, can't you hope for me to be well?"

Looking forward to it! I have been looking forward to your kindness for more than ten years!

On the auspicious day three months later, the entire ship was draped in red and decorated with colorful ribbons. Vermilion lanterns strung from the masts like a river of stars. The retired emperors and empresses of both countries sat at the wedding table, while the imperially bestowed dragon and phoenix wedding candles illuminated the decks like daylight.

The Duke of Huguo's Mansion was actually celebrating a double happiness on this day, marrying off a daughter and a daughter.

After receiving the letter from his wife, Minister of Revenue Tang Chuyu hurriedly rode day and night, urging his horse to chase along the river, and finally caught up with the tower ship.

Qin Fangfei was overjoyed to have taken advantage of this wave of wealth. Her son had married his wife under the auspices of the supreme rulers of both countries!

General Ma also arrived. His youngest son finally got married, and just as the heavy stone in his heart had fallen, a new one appeared.

After reading the engagement letter, he realized that his daughter-in-law was not young anymore.

I'm so worried! I'm almost a grandmother now. How can I continue the family line?

But he didn't dare say this openly.

Since his daughter-in-law has the support of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and is also protected by his ex-wife, he can only discuss it with his youngest son in private.

"Giving birth at your wife's age may harm her health." Old Ma hesitated for a long time before saying this.

Ma Chuyang had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were frosty. Given his personality, there was no need to invite this old Ma to spoil the fun.

However, etiquette and law cannot be abolished. Without the witness of his biological father, people would inevitably gossip about Chi Shuang's status as an unjust person.

As soon as Lao Ma opened his mouth, Ma Chuyang guessed what he was going to say.

As expected, Old Ma lived up to everyone's expectations and disgusted his son. "No problem... Your father will find you a concubine who is suitable for bearing children. The child will still be registered under the name of your legal mother."

Ma Chuyang didn't respond immediately. He just slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at his father with a smile. His usually smiling peach blossom eyes were now filled with a hint of coldness.

Although he was already over thirty, there was still a hint of youthful spirit between his brows. However, the bloody battles on the battlefields and the ups and downs in the court over the years had already tempered that young man into a sharp sword.

Ma Chuyang curled his lips slightly and smiled leisurely, "Mother was really very insightful back then."

General Ma was confused by this incoherent talk, "What?"

"Son," he said, slowly adjusting the cuffs of his wedding gown, the cold light in his eyes intensifying against the scarlet brocade, "mother's divorce from you was the wisest decision she ever made."

General Ma was stunned at first, then his expression suddenly changed. His weather-beaten face suddenly turned purple, the veins on his forehead bulged like earthworms, and even his beard trembled. "Asshole!"

Ma Chuyang sneered, "God is watching, who knows who is the bastard! Besides me and my brother, who else in your Ma family can look up to? Calling you father today is to give you some respect, and also to give myself some respect."

General Ma was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Then he heard his son say, "Don't mess with me! And don't force me to change my last name right now!"

He turned slowly and said in a dark voice, "I'm not my brother, so he still listens to you. Of course, if you told him you were going to take a concubine on the night of his wedding, you don't think he would have kicked you into the river."
