Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

What he had tried so hard to get rid of before, Tang Zhongyi was now doing it very well.

Her reason was the same as that of the clan elders before. The marriage between the two families could enhance their relationship and better incorporate Western Shu into their sphere of influence. In the struggle with other forces in Western Shu, the chances of winning would be greater!

But whether Ali or Lu Mingchi was willing seemed to be out of Tang Zhongyi's consideration.

Ali had resisted fiercely. She loved freedom by nature and was used to being unrestrained. The tribe never burdened her as the youngest one, and they just liked to watch her jumping around and making noise.

However, Tang Zhongyi's influence in the Tang Clan was growing day by day. Under her urging, the involvement between the Tang Clan and the Lu Clan had become deeper and deeper.

In addition, Lu Mingchi seemed to be happy to accept it, so everyone in the Tang family persuaded Ali that although Lu Mingchi was not as good as Lu Mingtao, he was still a talented person among the younger generation.

What's more, Lu Mingchi is more beautiful than Lu Mingtao. Although he doesn't have Lu Mingtao's righteousness, he looks more tolerant!

Ali's temper had been spoiled to the point of being lawless, and the elders of the Tang family were also afraid that finding a husband who was old-fashioned and strict would make her life uncomfortable.

But Lu Mingchi is different. He is more humble and gentle.

Whenever Ahri made a scene in front of him, or even called him a hypocrite to his face, even if the onlookers began to feel embarrassed, Lu Mingchi would still smile and coax him softly.

If the head of the Tang family wanted to punish Ali for the sake of face, Lu Mingchi would persuade him, saying that Ali was still young and would naturally become mature and stable after getting married and having children.

He even said that Ali's personality was completely different from other women, without the slightest affectation, which was the way Lu Mingchi liked her most.

"But when he was trying to kill me, I heard him scold me with my own ears. He said I was vulgar, not as good as a country woman, or even as well-educated as a girl in a brothel. The Tang family is disgraced by me. If I don't die, both the Tang and Lu families will be ashamed because of me, and Tang Zhongyi will be dragged down by me!" There was a bit of panic on Ali's little face, as if she had survived a disaster, but more of anger:

"I used to tell my grandfather that this person had a nice appearance, but his eyes always made people shudder. He was basically a bad person. But no one believed me and always said that I was being unreasonable!"

"Shi'an, can I not go back? I don't want to see them. Although they are my family, no matter what mistakes I make, they will forgive me, but they don't trust me. In fact, they just treat me like a kitten or a puppy, watching the fun, but never trust me like a family member. They would rather trust outsiders!"

Ali pouted and spoke to Gu Shian, but glanced at Gu Feiwan from time to time. The meaning in her eyes was very clear. She hoped that Gu Feiwan could plead for her.

"Ah Li, the rules of the capital are strict, and I am an official. If you marry me without a matchmaker or betrothal, how will you be able to bear the rumors in the future? I can't bear to see you suffer such an injustice!"

"If the Tang family insists on using your marriage with the Lu family to get involved in the future, won't you be so upset that you want to kill someone? You and I still have children to raise. If someone criticizes their mother for marrying one daughter to two families, how can they live comfortably?"

Gu Shian's eyes were dark, with heartache in them, but more importantly, determination:

"I want to marry you with a clean record, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Fei Wan to make this trip right after giving birth. With her and Ning Weizhou here, you can rest assured that they will seek justice for you."

Ahri naturally understood these principles, but when facing people and things that she hated, she still wanted to be willful:

"Then you can go with me!"

"I can't go. If I want to leave Jiangnan, I have to ask for permission. Otherwise, I will lose my head if I leave my post without permission!" Gu Shian said with a smile, but then he became serious again:

"Proposing marriage is a very serious matter. How can I accompany you home to propose marriage? Isn't this telling others that you and I have had an affair without a matchmaker? Isn't this equivalent to putting a handle in someone else's hands? I am a man, and I am afraid of what others say, let alone you?"

"This time, Fei Wan will first help you break up your marriage with the Lu family, then seek justice for Lu Mingchi who harmed you, and then finalize our marriage. If any of these is missing, I feel it will be unfair to you!"

Gu Shian told the story slowly, and Ali listened with a pout.

Gu Feiwan looked at the two of them and knew that just a few months of separation would make a pair of lovers feel sad, not to mention the grudges they would have to deal with later.

"Ali, don't worry, I'm here and I won't let you suffer any more injustice." Gu Feiwan took Ali's hand:

"If the etiquette and laws were not too harsh on us women, my second brother would also want to marry you right away, so that you would no longer be missed by others. But for the sake of the future, you have to listen to him, okay?"

Although Ahri has a whimsical personality, he is actually kind-hearted and not an unreasonable person.

She also knew that returning to the Tang family in Xishu was imperative, otherwise there would always be hidden dangers in her and Gu Shian's future.

Seeing Ali nod, but still looking discouraged, Gu Feiwan made a promise:

"If they are willing to treat you well in the future when we go to the Tang Sect this time, then we will be fine. Having a capable family will only benefit you. But if they still only trust outsiders, then we can just break off the relationship. I will take you away. From now on, the Gu family will be your home and will definitely not treat you unfairly in the slightest!"

Gu Shian also promised: "What Fei Wan said is exactly what I meant. I sincerely want to marry the youngest daughter of the Tang family. If they are willing to change their ways, the Gu family will recognize this in-law. If you insist on doing it, the Gu family will be both your natal family and your own family in the future! No matter what, there must be a clear distinction in Xishu!"

"What do you mean by treating it as both your mother's home and your own home? Isn't that confusing?" Ning Weizhou strode into the room.

He changed into his usual long gown today, and the thin armor made him look particularly energetic.

"I accept Ahri as my stepsister!"

"No matter how the matter is resolved, Ah Li will come back with us! She will marry out of my Great General's Mansion in the future. If the Tang Sect is willing to send someone to marry her, I welcome it. If they are not willing to come, no one from the Tang Sect will be allowed to leave Xishu in the future!"

A person who is decisive in killing, once he unleashes his full momentum, his awe-inspiring aura will directly shock everyone!

Gu Shian stood up and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, General!"

Ning Weizhou smiled brightly, and immediately returned to his gentle and frail self: "What are you talking about, second brother? Why would a family like us need such a valuable gift? You get a wife, and I get a sister. No matter how you look at it, it's all thanks to second brother!"

Ahri was very happy: "Can I really come back with you guys?"

Gu Feiwan smiled and said, "Our general never tells lies. Since he promised you, how could it be false?"

"Okay, then I'll go pack my things!" Ali was always happy and jumped out of the door.

Ning Weizhou sat down, the morning light came in through the window, reflecting the silver-white armor,

"Fei Wan and I are about to set off. Is there anything else you want to tell me, brother?"
