Chapter 162: Chapter 161: It’s You All Who Kept Persuading Me to Get Married (Second Update, Please Vote)

"Even if it’s a matter of the court, it’s enough for my Liang Family to bear." Liang Chen said gravely, "Prince Rong’s Mansion is just so, my Liang Family is enough."

Cheng Chili replied disapprovingly: "Fifth Brother is right! This is no small matter, so many people have died, it concerns the court’s regulations! Every man has a responsibility!"

Liang Chen disapprovingly looked at Pei Zhan: "Ming Zhi!"

Pei Zhan raised an eyebrow, tapped his fingertips on the armrest, and turned his gaze to Fu Zhen: "If Miss Fu withdraws, then I will withdraw."

How could Fu Zhen not understand Pei Zhan’s analysis?

Nowadays, beneath the emperor, Prince Rong’s Mansion holds the highest respect, killing two people over minor matters, though it might catch the attention of the censors, they still have the ability to escape, it won’t shake the foundation.

But the current signs all point to their desperate cover-up, even Xu Yin would not hesitate to kill Liang Ning to seize this opportunity, plus what Mr. Ning mentioned in his letter to Mrs. Ning, these two dead people are by no means ordinary.

Once the truth is revealed to the world, ninety percent likely there will be a storm.

But it’s hard for everyone, first the dynasty changed, then the northwest was pacified, each family has suffered significant losses.

They finally ushered in a time of peace, they should let them enjoy this prosperous era.

Fu Zhen agreed with Liang Chen, she certainly didn’t want to drag so many people down.

The Liang Family got involved in this matter, there’s no way not to seek revenge, how could they face their ancestors with anything less?

Moreover, Liang Ning is the main person involved, from this aspect, Fu Zhen as a daughter of the Ning Family, cannot shirk it either.

She coughed and said: "I think the Great General is right, I plan to clarify the situation with Prince Rong’s Mansion before withdrawing. So General Pei, you should listen to the Great General."

Anyway, as long as Pei Zhan doesn’t see it, who would know about their private dealings?

But this suddenly sparked her concern, as the case progressed, she still hadn’t figured out how to make her relationship with the Liang Family clear...

At this moment, Liang Zhi exclaimed: "Fifth Brother, what did you just call my aunt? ’Taiping’?!"

Everyone turned their heads in unison!

Fu Zhen paused, indeed, wasn’t this kid just addressing her by her childhood name?

She immediately glared at Pei Zhan, this kid! Who allowed him to call her that?!

"Isn’t she called Taiping?" Pei Zhan glanced around at them, "Why can’t I call her that?"

"..."

This left everyone speechless.

After all, everyone knew he never acknowledged his aunt since he was a child, they never mixed much, so not calling her that was fine.

Now that the topic revolved around Liang Ning, there had to be a title, right? It’s obviously impossible to suddenly make him change to calling her Aunt!

"But you can’t call her that," Liang Zhi mumbled, "that’s my Aunt! If you call ’Taiping,’ doesn’t that make me a generation lower?"

After saying that, he silently glanced at Fu Zhen.

Fu Zhen agreed!

Calling her by her childhood name, wouldn’t she be demoted in rank?

Absolutely not!

She said: "I think calling her Miss Liang also works."

Pei Zhan looked at Cheng Chili: "What do you say?"

Cheng Chili was the only sensible person here!

He straightened up in a shiver, looking at Pei Zhan and then at Fu Zhen, yet he couldn’t offend either!

He gradually felt a prickling sense on his back, weighing his words repeatedly, he blurted out: "I, I think, a title is not a big deal... listening to Miss Fu is also fine!"

Anyway, he was determined to stick with the leader!

He had betrayed her once, this time he would not back down even if it killed him!

Pei Zhan shot him a sharp look, and put down his cup.

Over here, Cheng Chili trembled, while over there, Liang Zhi said: "Fifth Brother, why have you been pulling a long face today?"

Earlier, there was a disagreement when dividing responsibilities, and now Liang Chen wanted to ease the tension, so he said: "Haven’t you heard? Aunt Pei is anxious again to arrange a marriage for him.

"Since we’re on this topic, not to criticize you Fifth Brother, but you really should take it to heart."

Pei Zhan’s brows and eyes were indifferent, as if annoyed. "What’s the rush for? Although Dayue is gone, there are still small countries with unrest, who knows if it will affect our border?

"A man’s ambition is far and wide, I only want to serve the country, to be a loyal minister who protects the country. If I were to have a wife and children, it’d just be more burdensome!"

"You’re really concerned about this matter!"

Liang Zhi leaned in closer: "If you don’t want to get married, let Aunt Pei match me with the girl she has in mind, I want her! I’m not bothered!"

Liang Chen smacked the back of his head: "You want to get married, and so does Fifth Brother! Nobody is running away!"

After saying that, he looked at Pei Zhan: "Last year you just returned to the capital and said you didn’t want to discuss marriage, didn’t fancy anyone, what about this time? You’re already twenty-one this year, marrying doesn’t conflict with fulfilling your duty! Of the three forms of unfilial conduct, having no offspring is the worst!"

He apologized for previously misunderstanding this kid with his aunt!

Fu Zhen felt that her obedient nephew was right.

In these times, which military general’s family didn’t have a sacrificed male member?

Who wouldn’t want their family to quickly spread branches and leaves, to prosper and thrive? If they could comfort a broken family, why not? Let them marry!

But Pei Zhan said: "Why are you all so long-winded? We should be discussing the real issue at hand."

Fu Zhen was curious: "You already have your own ideas, if you’re not getting married then don’t, why are you troubled?"

Pei Zhan turned his head to look at her: "’Of the three forms of unfilial conduct, having no offspring is the worst.’

Fu Zhen: "..."

Pei Zhan: "My parents are getting old, I’m the eldest son now, and I have the responsibility to continue the family line.

"Moreover, I’ve been fighting outside for many years, unable to serve my parents, how can I repeatedly ignore my elders’ request?

"Unlike Miss Fu, who has a young and open-minded mother, and is without burdens, completely free, you wouldn’t understand my situation."

Fu Zhen was astonished.

But considering marriage, since he understands the reasons, was it really necessary to ramble on like this?

Besides, his parents are only in their forties! Though not young, is that considered ’getting old’?

Brother Pei, fine, but if Sister Pei knew her son was saying this, how would she feel?!

Liang Chen waved his hand: "Then stop wasting words, just go along with it!"

"It’s not that I haven’t wavered," Pei Zhan said, "but it’s very hard to find the right one."

"Then what kind do you want? Just tell us!" Liang Chen disliked his hesitant and indecisive manner. Usually, he wasn’t like this, he was decisive and quick in battles! Why was marriage like cutting his flesh?

Pei Zhan said: "I just want to find someone to pair with. Normally, she shouldn’t bother me, even more, she shouldn’t interfere with me. Naturally, I won’t interfere with her either, she can associate with whoever she wants."

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhen involuntarily straightened her back...

But Liang Chen scolded: "Fifth Brother! I really didn’t see you being so scummy! When you marry someone, aren’t you responsible? Isn’t marriage about braving hardships together, sharing life’s joys? You make it sound like a contract to have children, what do you take other women for?"

"I understand." Pei Zhan leaned back in the chair, quietly looking at him, "I said I didn’t want to get married, you all have been trying to persuade me."
