Chapter 77: Chapter 076: It’s Not Easy for a Bachelor to Marry a Bride (Second Update, Please Vote)

Pei Zhan’s body suddenly froze. Staring at the letter thrust in front of him for a moment, he suddenly snatched it up!

"To the care of the lady" "Liang Ning"

The cover bore these six characters, but their impact was as potent as thunder, leaving Pei Zhan unable to move a muscle.

"Where did this come from?"

He asked harshly.

"It was obtained from the Fu family." Li Jiang dared not beat around the bush and immediately explained the whole story. "I just verified it, and from the envelope, it indeed seems to be quite old!"

Born and raised in the General Mansion, how could Pei Zhan not discern the age of the paper?

He pulled out the letter paper inside with even greater speed—there were only three or four sentences on it, but they were enough to leave him in a daze.

"General! How could Miss Fu have a handwritten letter from Miss Liang? Is this letter genuine?"

Regardless of stance, matters concerning Liang Ning were always worth attention. Liang Ning’s handwritten letter appearing in Fu Zhen’s hands was even more baffling.

The disparity between the Fu family and the Liang family was such that they couldn’t possibly have any interaction, and there had never been any rumors about the two families having connections.

Pei Zhan tightly clenched the letter, his eyes repeatedly scanning the exceptionally familiar handwriting above, and suddenly he looked up sharply: "Prepare the horse! Go to the Liang Family! Find out where the Great General is?!"

...

Liang Chen was in the backyard mediating a quarrel.

Su Xinger rolled up her sleeves, raising the feather duster high and giving Liang Xuan’s buttocks a hard thrashing: "I knew you can’t go three days without causing trouble! I told you not to recognize others as fathers indiscriminately!"

Liang Xuan lay on the bench, wailing: "A godfather is still a father! I never said I was born of the fifth uncle! It’s that Miss Yu thinking too much, how can that be my fault?"

Su Xinger added three parts more strength, striking his plump backside: "Your fifth uncle is still single! Every unmarried lady in the city is much younger than him; now that an appropriate girl is willing to come forward, you people should be secretly rejoicing!

"But you! Without a word, you gave him a son! — And you too!" Su Xinger paused, pointing the feather duster at Liang Chen, who was ready to plead for leniency: "You didn’t even try to stop him! You even hid with him to discuss what kind of wife the fifth uncle should marry!

"Consider this: with that sour expression he always has, does he have any ground to be picky about girls?

"Instead of helping him matchmake, you guys pull this stunt! Aunt Pei has reminded me several times to quickly find him a wife, and now there’s a girl knocking on our door, and you scared her away!"

Liang Chen, who had initially felt some grounds for confidence for not helping Pei Zhan fend off enemies, immediately hung his head dejectedly to one side after the scolding: "Wasn’t there an old saying, if it’s meant to be, it can’t be avoided, if not, it can’t be kept!"

"Exactly, exactly! We are helping the fifth uncle! That Miss Yu knows the fifth uncle is unmarried, but she doesn’t even have a clue if he has any children. It shows she doesn’t trust the fifth uncle’s character.

"Moreover, she tried to subtly verify this with you afterward, totally ignoring what consequences I would have to suffer; her way of handling things is no good and unfit to be my aunt-in-law!

"Father, don’t you think so?"

Liang Chen glanced at his wife and murmured: "Your mother has a weapon. Even if you ask me to say something, I dare not say it."

Su Xinger, choked with anger, pointed the feather duster at his nose: "An over-indulgent father spoils the child! Just condone him!"

After finishing, she put the feather duster on the ground and left in a huff.

Liang Xuan lifted his head. When his mother’s figure disappeared through the courtyard door, he rubbed his backside and then shuffled his little plump legs to the ground.

"Alas, she is becoming more and more like a tigress."

Liang Chen glared at him upon hearing this: "How dare you say that? Your mother used to be so gentle and graceful; it’s because of you!

"I went to fight in wars for a few years, and as a result, you forced her into a firecracker, igniting at the slightest provocation."

"Let’s not point fingers at each other," Liang Xuan casually replied, "You came back covered in wounds and caused her to turn white with worry!"

Liang Chen sighed heavily.

Suddenly seeing him standing before him perfectly okay after taking so many hits, he inquired suspiciously: "Does your butt not hurt?"

"Small issue!" Liang Xuan pulled out two tight cotton pads from his trousers, "I have these!"

Liang Chen halted, then glanced sideways at him: "You truly have skills!"

"Many skills are not a burden!" Liang Xuan replied nonchalantly, "For so many years I’ve been beaten, I’ve already gained experience!"

"Oh, you can even cite the classics now?" Liang Chen mocked him. "Seems all those skills hold potential. Just wait till I tell your mother about them!"

"No, no, no!" Liang Xuan quickly covered his mouth. After a while, he lowered his hand and said, "Father, when are you going to visit the Xu family?"

"Why go to their house?" Liang Chen frowned slightly and walked over to a weapon rack, pulling out a long spear.

Liang Xuan followed him: "Didn’t you say not to associate with the Xu family for not ’being sensible’? We should reciprocate, right? That Vice Minister Xu keeps coming to our house for tea and wine, let’s go have a meal at theirs!"

"That’s not the same." Liang Chen lazily replied, thrusting the long spear in his hand towards a straw man ahead: "I can’t control his feet, but I can control our own."

Then he squinted at Liang Xuan: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the Xu family?"

Liang Xuan’s eyes darted around: "To scrounge a meal."

"Master, General Pei urgently seeks to see you!"

Liang Chen was about to voice his disbelief when the steward of the mansion hurriedly came in to report.

Liang Chen tossed the spear to Liang Xuan: "You can scrounge any meal but not at the Xu family! And don’t get any crooked ideas. If you don’t behave, I’ll tell your mother about your cheating!"

Liang Xuan stood with his mouth agape watching him leave, shoulders sagging as he sighed heavily.

Liang Chen had just stepped into the flower hall when he saw Pei Zhan, clad in full armor, pacing in circles at the center of the room.

"What urgent matter has you coming here without changing clothes?"

"Look at this!" Pei Zhan said without a word more, handing him the letter, "Look at the writing on top–isn’t it her handwriting?!"

Liang Chen, puzzled initially, widened his eyes abruptly upon seeing the name on the cover: "Aunt?!"

Pei Zhan urged: "Quick, look inside!"

Liang Chen swiftly pulled out and unfolded the letter! His gaze hardly fell on the words in the letter before he couldn’t help his hands from trembling!

"Where did this come from?!"

"Obtained by accident." Pei Zhan knitted his brows tightly, pacing again: "On the way here, I sneezed a few times, feeling as though there were some divine guidance–don’t ask for now, just quickly see if it really is her handwriting?!"
