C145 Married by finger?

No matter where one went, as long as they had a backer or status, they would always be able to eat wherever they went.

In the same way on this continent, the carriages with the two titles of Situ Family and Murong Family had basically enjoyed the VIP of the special passage. The long procession was the first to enter the city. The other carriages all made way for them. They all took it for granted when they saw the immoral act of cutting in line. There was no trace of dissatisfaction or complaint.

"Power is a fascinating thing!" In the car, Gongsun Zaitian looked at all this and saw the flattering faces of the people even more. He understood all of this even more clearly in his heart.

No matter where he was, once he had power, he would enjoy all the unfair but very normal treatment. This was human nature and also a necessary phenomenon in society. Otherwise, why would so many people go through fire and water for power and power?

"Xiao San, you said that you're young and that you spend all your time lamenting about these things that the old man had lamented about. Why can't you be a bit more spirited?" Murong Fenghuang shook her head speechlessly when she heard her son's mutters to himself, and said in a voice filled with ridicule.

"It's impossible not to sigh, because I've been through all day, so it's impossible not to touch these things." Gongsun Ze Tian lazily replied.

"Why does it sound like you're criticizing your mother?" Murong Fenghuang frowned, and pretended to be angry.

"How is this possible? What a filial son. Oh right, mother, do you know Leng Jia? " Gongsun Ztian immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly smiled apologetically. Then, he used the method of changing the topic.

"Leng Jia? They came too? You saw it? " Murong Fenghuang's thoughts flew, she immediately realized that her son might have seen the Leng Jia.

"Who the hell asked who?" Gongsun Ztian asked unhappily.

"Alright, alright, then you have to be honest later on as well!" Murong Fenghuang was already well aware of the situation, his son must have seen the Leng Jia, or else he wouldn't have asked such a question.

"Okay, tell me about Leng Jia first!" Gongsun Ze Tian answered straightforwardly.

"Speaking of Leng Jia, she has some connections with both Situ Family and the others." Murong Fenghuang laughed, and then said, as if she had thought of something interesting.

"Origin?" Gongsun Ztian asked doubtfully.

"That's right, the Leng Jia is also in the north, and is mainly involved in the ore industry, while the Murong Family is mainly involved in the weapon industry, this kind of weapon could not lack the ore industry in the Leng Jia, so they have trade with each other." Murong Fenghuang said from the bottom of her heart.

If it wasn't for Murong Fenghuang's introduction, Gongsun Ze Tian really didn't know that Leng Jia was the one who produced ores. Looks like if she wanted to forge weapons in the future, she would have to contact the Leng Jia more.

"Then this is still a business deal, so it can't be considered as a relationship, right?" Gongsun Ztian questioned back in puzzlement. In his opinion, a transaction was a transaction. If the transaction was a departure from the transaction, the transaction would not be considered a fart. How could it be considered the word 'origin'?

"Do you want to hear it or not?" Murong Fenghuang said harshly, with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

"Alright, I won't say anything. Listen to me!" Gongsun Zaitian was a wise man in times of need. When it was time for him to lower his head, he would never raise it.

"The ancestors of the Leng Jia are the subordinates of the ancestors of the Situ Family. Because of the great achievements that the Situ Family had done, the Leng Jia was established with the help of the Situ Family, so the Leng Jia can be considered as a strong power of the Situ Family. Of course, the Situ Family has never been a subordinate of the Leng Jia, so the two families are very close." Murong Fenghuang recalled some of the relevant records she knew about and said.

"So that's how it is! That means, Murong Family and this Leng Jia is not just related to trade? " Gongsun Ztian immediately understood.

One had to know that it was possible to maintain a temporary relationship of interest. If a long-term relationship was not guaranteed, no one would believe it even if they were beaten to death.

"That's right. The two families are old friends, and in the past few generations, there have been cases of intermarriage. Therefore, a relationship of kinship cannot be avoided." Murong Fenghuang explained.

"It's just a kind of marriage. Interesting. This sort of relationship, can it be counted as reliable?" Gongsun Ztian didn't take the so-called 'marriage alliance' to heart at all. History warns people that 'any marriage alliance will turn against us in the end'.

"What happened to the marriage alliance? Many families are engaged in marriage. This is a condition and a guarantee. What do you, a child, know? But when it comes to marriage, there's still something about you! " Murong Fenghuang rolled her eyes at her son and retorted.

However, Murong Fenghuang's last sentence was spoken with a smile. That unconcealable smile on her face caused Gongsun Zaitian to feel a chill down her spine.

"About me?" Gongsun Ztian worriedly asked. It didn't seem like it was a good thing to hear anything about him from his mother.

That year, before your grandfather passed away, he had a close relationship with the current patriarch of Leng Jia. As a result, the two families made a promise to marry each other, but your father insisted on marrying me, and the young miss of Leng Jia even took a fancy to the current emperor's younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince. Murong Fenghuang smiled as she explained the whole thing.

"Then what does this have to do with me?" Gongsun Ztian was confused by what he heard. These things had nothing to do with him.

"Coincidentally, after your two elder brothers were born, Leng Jia also gave birth to male children. We can't let the two men get married, right?" Murong Fenghuang laughed even more happily than before. However, when her words mentioned that men should marry each other, it gave off a mischievous feeling.

I don't believe that Leng Jia can't give birth to his daughter. As long as she gives birth to his daughter, her age shouldn't be a problem, right? " Gongsun Ztian asked in puzzlement.

In this continent, it was not surprising for a man to marry someone younger than himself. Even an old man in his eighties or nineties would need someone to help him walk, let alone a concubine who had just reached twenty years of age.

"The problem is that three years ago, Leng Jia's current family only gave birth to a little daughter, Leng Jia viewed his and him as treasures, and your two brothers were also engaged long ago. Leng Jia is also considered a big family, how could they allow this precious daughter of theirs to be their concubine? So the heavy responsibility landed on you." Murong Fenghuang acted like she was miserable and explained, but in Gongsun Zaitian's eyes, she felt that it was a schadenfreude.

"Really?" Mother, I know you must be joking right? " Gongsun Ztian felt that he was speechless. What the hell was this?

"I am serious, moreover, I have seen that little girl before. She is a beauty, and this is really a good thing for you." Murong Fenghuang answered with a serious face, but then changed her expression to a teasing one and started to tease the son in front of him.

"But we have never met! Besides, I'm only five years old! " Gongsun Ztian argued with a strong resistance as he spoke.

"You actually know that you are five years old? I thought you were fifty!" Murong Fenghuang sarcastically said.

"So I'm someone who has a fiancee?" Gongsun Ze knew that his words were useless, especially in front of his mother.

"Not really. This matter is rather complicated to talk about." Murong Fenghuang seemed to have thought of something, but she was not sure as she replied.

"More twists and turns? Do you think that it's a canon play? " Gongsun Ztian had a puzzled look on his face as he spoke in a somewhat indignant tone.

After all, whether he wanted to possess it or not was one matter. Possessing a life deprived of it was another matter altogether. One was a slap to the face, the other was a slap to the face. How could Gongsun Ztian be a slap to the face?

"Korean drama?" Murong Fenghuang asked in astonishment.

"Oh, it's a country that specializes in the production of 'Koreans', commonly known as the Republic of Korea. They like to write some 'crashes, amnesia and incurable diseases' as scripts. And that's where the name comes from. " Gongsun Ztian did not want his mother to harass him on this topic. After all, he did not know how to explain, so he could only make up some nonsense.

"Weird, what kind of books are you reading all day? How come I've never heard of this place called 'Korean'?" Murong Fenghuang seemed to not want to easily give up on this topic and continued to closely pursue the topic.

"Alright, mother, you continue. Your son is still curious about why my marriage contract is so bizarre!" Gongsun Zaitian once again used the method to change the topic and successfully achieved his goal.

When mother was just pregnant with you, Mister Duanmu had checked her pulse and determined that she was a man. When Leng Jia heard the news, his ancestor personally went to find His Majesty and requested that the marriage be bestowed upon him. As expected, Murong Fenghuang continued with the topic of 'marriage'.

"You can do that?" Gongsun Ztian was astonished. He had heard of people coming to snatch the bride, but he had never heard of people asking the emperor for the bride.

"Hehe, that's right, it's really alright. His Majesty the Emperor was annoyed to the core, so he gave an imperial edict, and if there's a girl in the Leng Jia, he would marry you. Originally, this could be considered a good story. Adding to the fact that Leng Jia and the Situ Family were originally on good terms, both families were very happy to succeed. " Murong Fenghuang laughed and continued.

"In that case, won't there be no problem?" Gongsun Ztian did not feel any twists and turns. On the contrary, he sounded very smooth.

However, because of the assassination attempt that year, you were diagnosed as a useless trash by Mister Duanmu. Furthermore, Leng Jia gave birth to a daughter three years ago. Murong Fenghuang's face became solemn, and there was even a hint of killing intent.

The hatred in Murong Fenghuang's heart did not lessen. She hated those black-clothed people who came to kill her, and hated herself even more. Back then, if it wasn't for her determination to keep walking down the mountain, she wouldn't have brought these rumors and gossip to his son. Even more so, it wouldn't have brought him any pain or suffering.

This was also the sadness that Murong Fenghuang had never forgotten about in all these years. She had no way of forgetting it, and if it wasn't for that decision, perhaps everything would have been different.

However, Murong Fenghuang did not know that this was the outcome that Gongsun Zaitian needed. That was the reason why he was able to hide behind the scenes, hidden the deepest.
