Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Republic of China’s Gentlewoman Discarded Wife vs. the Affectionate Actor (32)
Marshal Huangfu had returned as well, and the two were now sitting and chatting.
Marshal Huangfu was a middle-aged man with a generous belly, who always wore a smile that made him seem very amiable.
Of course, if you truly believed that he was an agreeable man, you would have been deceived.
How could a man who controlled hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northwest Eight Provinces be as benign as he seemed on the surface?
"Tongfeng is back? Your mother was just telling me that you have taken a fancy to a girl?" Marshal Huangfu called his son over to sit and asked.
Huangfu Qi nodded and turned to his mother, "What have you been talking about with her?"
Madam Grand Marshal pushed a plate of peeled longan in front of him and said, "Nothing much, just inquiring about some interests and hobbies, I quite like her temperament."
Huangfu Qi nodded and said no more.
However, the Grand Marshal spoke up, "The lady you are interested in, she’s been married before? My son is so outstanding, how can he take a woman who’s been married? I disagree!"
Huangfu Qi replied cooly, "I’m marrying her, what does it matter whether you agree or not?"
The Grand Marshal was taken aback, "You, kid, have grown up and think you don’t need to take your old man into account anymore, is that it?"
Huangfu Qi remained silent.
The Grand Marshal huffed, "Is that woman really that good?"
Huangfu Qi nodded, "In my heart, no one else can compare.
The Grand Marshal asked, "It has to be her?"
Huangfu Qi nodded again, "It has to be her."
The Grand Marshal changed the subject, "But I’ve heard from your mother that the lady has not agreed to your proposal."
Huangfu Qi replied, "...That’s not important, in any case, she must marry me."
The Grand Marshal slammed the table, "Good! I like this domineering attitude of yours, it’s exactly like me when I was young!"
No sooner had he spoken than he received a warning look from Madam Grand Marshal and hurriedly changed his tone.
"The doors to the Grand Marshal’s Mansion are not that easy to enter."
Huangfu Qi was well aware of his parents’ little maneuvers.
He asked, "What do you want?"
The Grand Marshal looked towards Madam Grand Marshal.
Madam Grand Marshal began, "Getting married is your own business, that’s true, but you will be the head of the Huangfu Family in the future, and your wife will be Madam Huangfu. She represents the face of the Huangfu Family."
"Of course, let’s not talk about these abstract notions. Your wife, she must be able to command respect, right? In the future, she must have enough confidence before the other ladies in Cloud City. Can Miss Yan achieve this?"
Huangfu Qi gave his mother a puzzled look, "The wife of Huangfu Qi, who would dare to gossip?"
Madam Huangfu put down her tea cup, "Tongfeng, not saying something doesn’t mean one isn’t thinking it."
"My expectation for your wife isn’t due to nitpicking, but for her own good."
Marrying into a prominent family isn’t necessarily a good thing for some women.
"If she can manage that, then you have no objections?"
Marshal Huangfu said nothing, Madam Huangfu nodded.
Huangfu Qi suddenly said, "Oh, there’s something I forgot to tell you, that Lin Jianke, is Ruohua."
"Lin Jianke?" The Grand Marshal repeated the name, feeling it sounded familiar.
Suddenly he slapped his thigh, "Isn’t that the female writer who’s always encouraging women to oppose men taking concubines?"
The mere mention of her made the Grand Marshal grind his teeth.
