Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

Shen Mengyao stopped her and held Xiao Qi firmly behind her: "Who are you? Don't make trouble on my territory. She is mine, don't even think about taking her away."

When the woman heard this, she pointed at her nose and yelled, "I've never heard of a parent not being able to take their child away."

Shen Mengyao refused to give in: "She is mine, we can talk about other issues slowly, you can't just take her away like this."

"Who do you think you are to dare to give orders here? If you keep pestering my daughter, I will sue you for trafficking women from your family." The man said viciously.

How could Shen Mengyao not see their purpose? She said coldly: "Don't you just want money? I can give you as much as you want."

Xiao Qi tugged at her hand, and when she turned around, he shook his head: "Second Master, I know you mean well, but they will be greedy."

"How can you talk about your parents like that? Let me tell you, the extra money I found for you has arrived. If you like Beijing, we can hold a banquet there. People can afford the money." The woman kept on cursing.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with tears.

He knew that if he ran away to the ends of the earth, it would be fine if they didn't know, but if they knew where he was, they would definitely not be willing to give up their daughter.

Now that her fate was determined, she had no choice but to accept it.

Shen Mengyao was still fighting for her: "Husband's family? What husband's family? I can't accept a blind marriage."

Fang's mother kept on talking, being sharp and mean: "She is already sixteen years old, a normal age for a woman to get married. Why is she still doing business in public with you? If this gets out, people will say that our Fang family didn't teach her well enough and raised such a girl."

Xiao Qi's face felt hot when she heard this. Now that her identity was revealed, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to stay here for long.

She had no choice but to turn around and said, "Second Young Master, thank you for your careful cultivation and teaching. I have failed you. From the beginning, I lied to you that I was a man and found this job to make a living. Everything is my fault and has nothing to do with you. Now I want to go back. Thank you for taking care of me for so many days. I should leave now."

As soon as Shen Mengyao heard it, she knew that Xiaoqi wanted to take all the blame on herself so that Fang's parents would not take the opportunity to make trouble for her. But such a good girl, who was obviously unwilling in every way, still insisted on entering that cage.

She naturally would not give up: "No, I won't let you go, leave the rest to me."

When Fang's mother heard this, her face turned grim: "Why? You don't want my daughter to leave so much, do you like her and want to marry her? How much can you give as a gift?"

Shen Mengyao almost couldn't breathe. Marry a wife? She's a woman! How can she marry a wife?

However, in front of so many people, she naturally couldn't reveal her identity as a woman. She sighed secretly and said calmly: "In this case, I will pay some gift money. I hope you can be satisfied. Xiao Qi will be mine from now on."

Fang's mother's expression changed suddenly, and she quickly exchanged glances with Fang's father.

"Sure, how much can you take?"

Shen Mengyao was generous: "Thirty taels of silver, and this child's name is Li An, right? He looks smart and clever. I will also pay for his education in the future."

When Fang's mother heard that it was more than what the widower had given, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, since you like our daughter, I won't be the one to break up the couple. Then I will give you thirty taels of silver until my son Li'an passes the imperial examination."

"Deal." Shen Mengyao said without hesitation.

As long as Xiaoqi can be rescued, a few dozen taels of silver will not be a problem. What's more, Li An is not a bad person. He just defended his sister. If he can study more, it may be a way out for him.

Xiao Qi smiled at her gratefully.

Unexpectedly, before Mrs. Fang finished her conditions, she pulled Xiao Qi over and said, "Also, my daughter is from a decent family, not one of those messy women out there. Since you've given me the gift money, I have to give you the six gifts. I want to welcome her into your home in a grand manner."

Still want to get married? Shen Mengyao couldn't stand this.

"We came to the capital to do business. After the restaurant has grown, I want to consider my own affairs. I can do it in a grand manner, but I have to take it slow."

"Hey, they say you should start a family and a career. You have to start a family first before you can start a career. You look young, but you have reached the age of twenty. If you marry, have children, start a family and a career, it will also make the elders at home feel at ease."

Shen Mengyao pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly. If she were a man, it would be fine, but she was a girl. How could she marry, have children, and start a family?

As she tried to refuse, Fang's mother became anxious: "Why? You want to keep my daughter as a concubine? This is not okay. Our Fang family cannot afford to lose this person. We must marry her off in a formal way and have a grand ceremony."

Shen Mengyao also wanted to, but she really couldn't do it.

Just when he was in distress, Luochuan suddenly stood up.

"Don't make it difficult for him. In fact, there is someone else who likes Xiao Qi. It's me. I can meet all the conditions you mentioned."

"Who are you?" Fang's mother glanced at him. In fact, she was more satisfied with him because both of them looked good, but Luochuan was taller.

He is at the age when he is growing taller. Ever since he has been with Shen Mengyao, he has become taller and stronger. I am afraid that in a short time, there will be no trace of the frail boy he used to be.

"He is my partner." Shen Mengyao replied.

Since someone has come to the rescue, he must be the one to pay the thirty taels of silver, and we can even get married.

Fang's mother smiled instantly: "It doesn't matter. My daughter is so popular. Anyone who can meet my conditions will do."

Xiao Qi was very angry, but there was really nothing he could do. If he didn't do this, he would not be able to get rid of his parents' potential.

After the terms were agreed upon, Fang's mother immediately waved her hand and asked everyone to disperse: "Alright, alright, it's all a misunderstanding, there's nothing to see anymore. When the wedding is held here, everyone come, everyone come."

Everyone thought there was something exciting to watch, but after hearing what she said, they felt bored and immediately dispersed.

Fang's father and mother had completely changed their expressions. They hurriedly pulled their son-in-law Luo Chuan in and questioned him.

"Where are you from? Where do you live? Is business in the capital good? Can you make money? I'm wondering if it's better for my son to be a businessman or to join the government?"

"It's better to be an official. Having money is not as good as having power." Luo Chuan answered while inviting them to the private room on the second floor to discuss any conditions.
