Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

When Zheng Xu heard this, he suddenly felt angry and yelled: "What are you talking about?!"

"What the hell do you have to pay for the Zheng family?"

"If the Zheng family needs women to maintain it, what if the Zheng family declines?"

"Ayan, you are a girl pampered by the Zheng family, not a commodity for sale."

"If every child is born to feed the family, what's the difference between that and a sharp weapon?"

Zheng Xu's words made Zheng Yan pause. She had never thought of it this way.

I even felt that what my father said was right. Although I was sad, I also wanted to sacrifice for my family.

But now after listening to Zheng Xu's words, Zheng Yan couldn't help but wonder if she was really wrong.

Doesn’t it say in the book that filial piety should come first and repay the kindness of life and upbringing?

But if you don't pay for your family, how can you repay these things?

Zheng Yan felt a little confused for the first time. She looked at Zheng Xu blankly: "Brother, what do you think I should do?"

Zheng Xu looked at Zheng Yan lovingly. This sister was his weakness. He knew from a young age that he was an older brother and had to protect his sister.

Although the regent had great power and status, Ayan didn't like her. What Zheng Xu wanted more was his sister, having someone who truly loved her as much as he did.

This puts him at ease.

Although the regent is extremely powerful, this is a good thing and a bad thing.

Judging from the current situation, there will definitely be no shortage of women in his backyard. First there will be the princess, then Qian Jiaojiao, and then there will be no shortage of women for him.

I don't know why, but it is rumored that the regent is extremely devoted, but looking at it now, that rumor is false.

The most important thing is that Zheng Xu has another idea that he is not sure about, that is, the regent is not as dedicated as the rumors say, and there will naturally be other women around him.

But what about those women?

Zheng Xu couldn't help but wonder if it was because he didn't bring anyone back to the capital when he left, so he gained a reputation as a dedicated person.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xu could not help but clenched his fists. If this was really the case, then Ayan would not be able to follow him.

By then, Ayan's innocence will be gone and she will be abandoned in Ningzhou, and her father's plan will most likely be in vain.

What should Ayan do? She can't marry anyone else.

Whoever has the guts to marry the regent's woman would not want to live anymore.

Zheng Xu calmed down and became more determined.

He looked at Zheng Yan and said solemnly: "Ayan, wait for your brother and don't do anything stupid."

"Brother, go tell your father."

Zheng Xu left in a hurry. Looking at Zheng Xu's back, Zheng Yan felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Zheng Xu hurried to the study room and saw the head of the Zheng family. The head of the Zheng family was holding a military book in his hand, and he was fascinated by it.

When Zheng Xu approached him, he realized that Zheng Xu was here. He was very satisfied with his son. He was upright, good-natured, and intelligent.

In the future, if the Zheng family is in his hands, he will have the dignity to meet his ancestors.

Zheng Li glanced at Zheng Xu, his expression softened a little: "Why do you have time to come to my place today?"

"Sit down."

Zheng Xu bowed, then still stood there, Zheng Li frowned: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Xu knelt straight on the ground, lowered his head and said seriously: "Please father not to send Ayan to the regent."

Zheng Li looked a little dissatisfied. He looked at Zheng Xu coldly: "Is this why you came today?"

"Did that girl Ayan tell you that?"

Zheng Xu shook his head: "Father, our Zheng family does not need to use women for profit."

Zheng Li stood up suddenly, with a bit of anger on his face: "Who do you think I am?"

"Is he the kind of person who would give his daughter away just for a little power?"

"Zheng Xu, I thought you were the hope of the Zheng family, but now it seems that's not enough!"

Zheng Xu was said to be a bit ugly. He bit his lip tightly and spoke after a long while: "If father didn't use Ayan in exchange for power, then why?"

Zheng Li sighed heavily, closed his eyes, and then slowly sat down: "Xu'er, do you really not know what is happening in Ningzhou now?"

"Do you know why the regent came to Ningzhou?"

Zheng Xu shook his head, he had no idea what the secret was.

Zheng Li looked a little depressed: "Doesn't it sound good to Jiangbei noble family?"

"Our Zheng family has worked so hard for that lord, and below that lord is the Qi family."

"And we are just a group of servants."

Zheng Li glanced at Zheng Xu, who had a complicated expression. He would have to know these things sooner or later.

His son is indeed good, but the only bad thing is that he is too upright. If this continues, he will definitely suffer big losses in the future.

At this time, he should also be made aware of the situation of the so-called noble families today.

Zheng Xu frowned and raised his head: "Father, what you said..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Li: "Do you think the regent came to Ningzhou just for fun?"

"The reason why he hides his identity is to get rid of these prominent families in Jiangbei."

"He's here to uproot us!"

Zheng Xu's face was full of shock. He had never known it to be like this.

He murmured: "Then, why did those people send their daughter there?"

Zheng Li shook his head: "Some of them cling to power like Qian Benren, while others like me do it for the whole family."

"If Ayan, who is favored by the regent, has some affection, even better would be if Ayan successfully conceives the regent's child."

"That is the protection of my Zheng family."

"Even if it is settled in the future, the Zheng family can still have a chance of survival."

Zheng Li looked much older after saying this: "You think I don't love Ayan. She is different from Qian Jiaojiao. She is a good girl, but what can you do?"

"The Zheng family can only show their goodwill and guarantee by sending their legitimate daughter there."

"Xu'er, you and Ayan are both children of the Zheng family. We are able to live the life we ​​have today because of the protection of our ancestors. Do you just think that the Zheng family will be destroyed in one day?"

"You have enjoyed it for many years, it's time to pay it forward."

"You know that this is the case in aristocratic families. You are born into it and enjoy all the conveniences brought by the family, so you have to work hard and sacrifice for the family, so that the next generation will do the same."

"Let the glory of the family last forever."

Zheng Xu was stunned for a moment, shook his body, and felt a bit bitter in his throat.

If it is true as her father said, that is Ayan's best choice.

He was panic-stricken and knew the answer in his heart, but then he thought of the promise he made to his sister when he left. He raised his eyes to look at Zheng Li with red eyes: "Is there really no other way?"

"I can't trade a woman for the Zheng family's livelihood."

These words instantly angered Zheng Li. He slapped his hands on the table heavily, his voice filled with anger: "Why can't you, Zheng Xu, do such a thing? If I can do it, you will look down on me from the bottom of your heart." ?”
