Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 1157  Side Story, Agreed Secretly (7)

Young Master Cao was talking happily when he suddenly saw a person striding over from the side. Before he could react, he was punched and knocked to the ground. That person beat Young Master Cao up until he cried for help. He then heard the person say, "The Feng family is really bad at choosing sons-in-law! How can such a weakling like you marry Miss Feng?"

The surrounding people were stunned. Young Master Cao had been humiliated and beaten up. He was furious. When he asked his friends who it was, he found out that it was Eldest Young Master Shen, Shen Qiu. He could not afford to offend Shen Qiu, so he came back to make things difficult for the Feng family.

When Mr. and Mrs. Feng heard this, they were so angry that their faces turned ashen. They were not angry with Shen Qiu, but with Young Master Cao's behavior. At first, they thought that he was a decent man. If not for what happened today, they would not have known that Young Master Cao was like this in private. Since he looked down on Feng Anning, why did he come over to propose marriage? If Feng Anning really married him, wouldn't her life be miserable? How could they expect someone who didn't even respect Feng Annniang to love and protect her for the rest of her life?

Mr. Feng was furious. "I think you really deserve a beating. Since you look down on the Feng family so much, get lost!"

Young Master Cao was stunned and said in disbelief, "What?"

"Didn't you hear my father? My father told you to get lost," Feng Anning said coldly. She did not hide the disgust in her eyes. Many years ago, she had already seen this maid taking advantage of his maid and no longer had any expectations about him. If not for the fact that she wanted to help the Feng family, she would not compromise. Since they had already fallen out, there was nothing else to say.

She actually felt a little delighted.

Young Master Cao wanted to say something, but he was already chased out by Feng Zixian.

When Mrs. Feng looked at Feng Anning, her heart ached at the thought that she almost pushed her daughter into a fire pit.

Feng Anning's marriage was eventually canceled.

…

Without having to deal with her disgusting cousin, Feng Anning's life was much easier. She was no longer as stubborn as before and decided to let nature take its course.

However, she did not expect to meet Shen Qiu on the street.

She was a little hesitant and did not know what to say. She was embarrassed, clumsy, and nervous, looking nothing like her usual self.

Shen Qiu walked over.

He was tall and well-built. Compared to those soft young masters, he looked like he was made of iron.

She panicked for a moment and blurted out, "Why did you hit Young Master Cao?"

Shen Qiu frowned and said, "He deserved it."

"You shouldn't have hit him." Feng Anning shook her head. "We are living in a time of uncertainty. If he resents us because of this, he might stab us on the back…" In fact, she did not know why she said this. She was just panicking and wanted to say something to ease it.

Shen Qiu stared at her. "If I didn't hit him, would you marry such a person?"

Feng Anning was stunned for a moment before saying softly, "Maybe. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Nothing wrong?" There was a trace of anger in Shen Qiu's tone. He said, "Are you willing to marry that kind of coward who seeks fun outside and belittles his fiancee?"

Feng Anning looked up at him. "What does this have to do with you, Deputy General Shen?"

"Before Jiaojiao left, she told me to take good care of you. If she finds out that you married such a scum, she will be angry." Shen Qiu said, "Of course it has something to do with me."

Feng Anning said, "Thank you for your concern, Deputy General Shen, but times are different now. In the capital, there are very few families who dare to marry me at this juncture. I don't have much of a choice, but thank you for your kindness."

Shen Qiu was stunned.

After saying that, Feng Anning bowed to him and turned to leave.

She had always been buoyant and proud, like a fierce horse galloping through the grassland, but now, her back was hunched, and there was no light in her eyes.

For some reason, Shen Qiu felt uncomfortable. He felt that the arrogant little girl had grown up at some point. However, her growth was forced and made people feel sorry for her.

He suddenly strode forward and grabbed Feng Anning's arm, pulling her back.

Feng Anning turned around and looked at him in surprise.

Shen Qiu looked into her eyes. In an instant, he made a decision. A decision that would make him smile when he thought of it for his entire life.

He said, "Of course you have a choice. What do you think of me?"

Feng Anning's eyes widened.

"Do you think I'm better than that Cao guy?" he repeated.

Generals were straightforward, passionate, and sincere.

Feng Anning immediately blushed.

She said, "Is this considered a marriage proposal?"

This time, it was Shen Qiu's turn to be stunned.

Shen Qiu looked her firmly in the eyes. "Yes."
