Aren't you afraid of being beheaded if someone hears you?" Fan Rong suddenly burst out laughing and hinted that it's best to look around at the people and occasion when I say these things. After hearing this, I glanced at the maidservants standing by my side, only to see their pale faces, clearly frightened by our previous words. Moreover, Fan Rong's words had an effect; these servants are adept at reading between the lines. His words indicated that they heard something they shouldn't have, and now their lives were in danger.
I also thought about this, but seeing the fear on their delicate faces made me reluctant to harm them. So, after sipping some wine, I laughed and said, "Father-in-law, I always pay attention to the occasion when I speak. There's no one else here except family. Would we family members help outsiders to harm each other?" Looking at those maidservants, I saw gratitude in their eyes and gave them a charming smile, saying, "Do you agree?" Those maidservants had never seen such a handsome man like me smiling at them, so their faces turned red with admiration. They all vowed not to disclose what they heard today, or they would be struck by lightning and meet a bad end. Hehe, this is the modern version of the beauty strategy. With my charm, how could any woman resist? The beauty strategy works wonders every time. (Readers: "We need a moment to throw up first.")
Fan Rong nodded, greatly satisfied with my benevolent heart. Just now, he was testing my nature. After all, my goal is the entire world in the future. If I lack benevolence and virtue, even if I gain the world, it would still plunge the common people into suffering. Seeing that I couldn't bear to harm even a few maidservants strengthened his determination to help me.
"Haha, well done, my son-in-law truly has a benevolent heart. If my son-in-law gains the world, the common people will be blessed!"
Pfft, do you really need to say that? I've always prioritized the interests of the common people. After all, we're all Chinese. Since I know history, I should unify China as soon as possible to avoid the tragedy of the Five Barbarians' chaos lasting 400 years in later generations. Secretly indulging in self-satisfaction, I outwardly humbly yet passionately declared, "Father-in-law flatters me. I deeply understand the principle that 'the people are the most important element in a nation; the spirits of the land and grain come next; the sovereign ranks as the lightest.' Whether the dynasty thrives or perishes, the people suffer. To let the common people live in peace and prosperity, I'm willing to exhaust myself and die on the battlefield for the happiness of the common people."
Hearing my grandiose words, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were moved to tears and immediately knelt before me, saying excitedly, "We are willing to follow the lord into battle and fight to the death for the sake of the common people." Although Xun Yu and Guo Jia were scholars, hearing my passionate speech, how could they not be stirred up? They also imitated Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, kneeling before me and saying, "Yu/Jia is willing to plan strategies for the lord and the common people, exhausting ourselves to pacify the world."
At this moment, not only Xun, Guo, Zhang, and Gao, but even my father-in-law Fan Rong and those maidservants were emotionally moved. If Fan Rong wasn't my father-in-law and thus unable to kneel, and if those maidservants didn't think themselves as women who couldn't assist me, they probably would have knelt down too.
I quickly stood up, helping Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun to rise, excitedly saying, "Good, let us fight together for the common people, stabilize the interior, repel the barbarian invaders, and achieve everlasting fame." "We swear to follow the lord to death, stabilize the interior, repel the barbarian invaders, and achieve everlasting fame."
"Excellent, excellent, worthy indeed of being my daughter's husband. You are truly a dragon among men. Since this is the case, I will immediately prepare everything for you. You can set off for the capital tomorrow. Once you obtain the position of Grand Administrator of Guangling, you can fight for the common people." Fan Rong was now impassioned, appearing twenty years younger, restoring him to the ambitious Fan Rong of old.
What? Leave tomorrow? Pfft, I haven't consummated my marriage with Susu yet! Old man, you're rushing me away. Woe is me! This loss is huge!
With tears in my heart, I bowed and forced a laugh, "I dare not disobey Father-in-law's command, but what about Susu..." Fan Rong waved his hand, laughing, "No problem. For the sake of the common people, Susu can wait a while longer. Once you obtain the position of Grand Administrator of Guangling, my Fan family will move there, and then you and Susu can choose a good day to get married."
"If that's the case, then I'll set off tomorrow. But please, Father-in-law, await good news." You...you old guy, don't you understand my obvious hint? I don't want to leave right now! Wailing silently, I thought, "Once I marry Susu, I'll kick you aside and make you watch over the toilet..."
"Excellent, excellent, since that's the case, why don't you go see Susu now? Who knows when we'll meet again tomorrow?" Sobbing silently, I wanted to say, "Let me consummate the marriage first before I leave!" Blushing furiously, I said, "Your humble servant obeys your order." Seeing my red face, Fan Rong thought I was shy! Laughing heartily, he said, "My son-in-law, such a hero, is actually embarrassed by matters of love. Truly, heroes find it hard to pass the beauty test!"
You old man, am I blushing? It's because you're annoying me! Always ruining my plans! Fine, I can't compete with you, but I can avoid you. I'll stay far away from you. Cursing under my breath, amidst everyone's laughter, I slipped away quietly.
After passing two side rooms, I arrived outside Fan Susu's chamber. I straightened my clothes, went forward, and knocked on the door, "Susu, are you there?" Hearing my voice, Fan Susu, who was looking at herself in the mirror, immediately got up joyfully from her bed, adjusted her silk robe, and shyly walked to the door to open it for me.
When our eyes met, Fan Susu immediately lowered her head in shyness. Her celestial-like beauty plus the bashfulness of a young girl made her indescribably beautiful. I stared at her dumbfounded, thinking she would soon be my wife, and my heart was filled with excitement.
I softly asked, "Susu, how have you been these past two months?" Hearing my greeting, Fan Susu's heart was filled with sweetness, and the bitterness of the past two months was thrown far away. She softly replied, "Thank you for your concern, Lord. I am quite well." Her melodious voice, like a yellow oriole leaving the valley, carried a hint of shyness and joy, sounding so pleasant and moving. Such a beauty would belong to me, giving me a dreamlike feeling.
