Chapter 581: Madman's Thoughts

"You are not eligible."

She tried to pry his hands apart, but he just squeezed tighter.

Then she raised her eyes and glared at him: "First, you are engaged, and second, as the daughter of a Duke, I will marry a rich man."

If you don't say something harsh, this guy probably won't let go.

Fu Ciyi's slender fingers loosened instantly, and his voice was indifferent: "Oh, the fourth rank is not enough."

Yan Funing took the opportunity to turn around and leave.

When he turned around, he saw Lu Wenfeng coming towards him.

"What is the fourth rank?"

Yan Funing said, "Just now the chief eunuch came to announce the emperor's order that Master Fu is now a fourth-rank official."

"I went to the Imperial Academy early in the morning on May 25th. I was sent to the capital on official business at that time and returned today. When I came back, I heard about two major events: Fu Ning's true life experience and Ci Yi was injured while protecting the emperor. So Ci Yi was promoted because of his meritorious service in protecting the emperor." Lu Wenfeng frowned, "Why did so many things happen when I was away?"

Yan Funing said, "You are here to see him, right? Persuade him well and don't let him walk around."

After that, he walked away.

"Fu Ning, don't you want to stay for dinner?" Lu Wenfeng shouted at her back.

"I don't want to eat anymore." Yan Funing walked away without looking back.

"Did I mess things up?" Lu Wenfeng moved closer to Fu Ciyi.

Fu Ciyi ignored him and sat down on the recliner.

Lu Wenfeng pulled a chair and sat down, sighing: "Actually, I can't do anything wrong."

"Hmm?" Fu Ciyi glanced at him.

"Someone in the capital has been saying that the original relationship between Master Fu and the newly adopted second young lady of the Yan family was fake."

Since they were a fake couple and now divorced, he couldn't do any worse.

"Where did it come from?"

"It seems that the news came from the Yan family's banquet. Didn't you know about the Yan family's banquet on the first day of the new year?" Lu Wenfeng sighed, "It is said that after hearing this news, those who wanted to propose marriage lined up from the Duke's Mansion to the moat."

Fu Ciyi’s handsome face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Lu Wenfeng shook his head and sighed: "Ci Yi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but with such a wonderful wife by your side for more than a year, how can you remain calm?"

On the other side, Yan Funing got on the Fu family's carriage and was sent back by Fu Jiang.

As soon as she entered the carriage, she thought that everyone had a purpose for doing things.

After he controlled the flood in Pengzhou, he wanted to be promoted. From the sixth rank to the fifth rank, his promotion was justified.

Now she had to start to doubt that saving the emperor was also a means for him to get promoted.

Not only was he promoted three levels, but he also entered the cabinet.

madman!

If this was really his method, then he is really a madman. He got promoted after being stabbed twice, which is simply playing with his own life.

How did she get involved with such a lunatic?
When Yan Funing returned to the Duke's Mansion, she happened to meet the eunuch announcing the emperor's order: "The emperor promotes Lord Yan to the sixth rank."

After that, official uniforms and other items were brought up.

Hong Qingyi ordered the nanny beside her to quietly slip a red seal to the eunuch who was reading the oral order.

The eunuch smiled happily: "Congratulations to the Duke, congratulations to the Duke's wife, and even more congratulations to Lord Yan! Lord Yan has been promoted twice in a row, which is really cause for celebration."

Yan Xinghe's expression was indifferent.

He was also considered to have made great contributions in saving the emperor, so he was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, a promotion of two levels in a row.

It is conceivable that Fu Ciyi was promoted even more.

After the eunuchs left, Hong Qingyi saw that the second son was unhappy, so she asked, "Why is Xinghe unhappy?"

Yan Xinghe did not hide it from his mother. He glanced at Yan Funing calmly and explained, "Fu Ciyi's promotion this time is even greater."

In the imperial examination, he ranked second, behind Fu Ciyi.

In the palace examination, he was the runner-up, still behind Fu Ciyi, the champion. Now that he has been promoted, I think it will be the same.

Yan Funing said, "Indeed, he is now a fourth-rank official and has entered the cabinet."

"Entered the cabinet?" Yan Cheng frowned.

Yan Funing nodded: "My daughter was helping him with his follow-up examination today, and it happened that Eunuch Song came to deliver his instructions."

Yan Cheng raised his hand to signal his wife and children to follow him back to Nanyuan.

After entering the Nanyuan wall, Yan Cheng said, "Last night, Fu Ciyi came to the palace to refuse the marriage proposal. I didn't want to talk about this, but now I think this boy is very thoughtful."

He originally thought that Fu Ciyi still had some feelings for Fu Ning.

Now that I think about it, his goal was not Fu Ning, but power.

Hong Qingyi analyzed: "Our Xinghe's arm was injured, so he was promoted two levels. He was stabbed twice and his injuries were serious, so it is reasonable for him to be promoted three levels and enter the cabinet again."

Yan Cheng shook his head: "He refused the marriage proposal last night, and today the promotion order came down. How could it be such a coincidence?"

As for Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe, the emperor's original intention was to promote them only after they recovered from their injuries.

Now it is much earlier than he expected.

Yan Xinghe said: "Father, what you mean is that he failed to refuse the marriage, and the emperor issued an oral order today in order to appease the people?"

And his Yan Xinghe's promotion was just a by-product.

Yan Funing suddenly realized that someone's main purpose in refusing a marriage proposal was not to refuse the marriage, but to use it as a breakthrough point to seek his greatest interests as soon as possible.

Asshole, what are you talking about saying it's comfortable to hold her while sleeping?

The family went to the flower hall and sat down.

Yan Cheng explained to his family: "The emperor felt guilty about granting the marriage to the Cai and Fu families after he learned that Fu Ning was my, Yan Cheng's, daughter. Fu Ciyi refused the marriage, which made the emperor feel even more guilty. In addition, he had made great contributions in saving the emperor, so he was able to become a powerful official so quickly."

At this point, Yan Cheng warned: "From now on in the court, Xinghe, you have to be careful of him."

"Son, I understand." Yan Xinghe nodded.

Turning his gaze to Yan Funing, he said calmly, "I'm afraid that my sister has developed feelings for him after spending more than a year with him."

Yan Funing was puzzled: "If you want to fight him, then fight him. Why are you involving me?"

She just wanted to ask whether the family really kept soldiers privately.

Now it seems that no one can be asked.

It seems that Yan Xinghe regards Fu Ciyi as his rival, and his father also does not think highly of someone with deep thoughts.

If she told what Fu Ciyi said, the conflict between the two sides would only intensify.

If the Yan family really raised soldiers privately, and the madman exposed the matter, then not only would the Yan family lose their title, but their property would also be confiscated and the family would be exterminated.

With such achievements, a madman is bound to reach a high position in the government.

He used some tricks to capture her and imprison her, and things turned out just like in the book.

She shuddered at the thought of the possibility.

Hong Qingyi thought her youngest daughter was angry at what her second son said, so she rebuked him on the spot: "Xinghe, how can you say that about your own sister?"

"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room first." Yan Funing stood up.

Hong Qingyi asked her second son to chase after her and have a good talk.

Yan Xinghe had no choice but to block Yan Funing's way in the garden.

This so-called second brother was quite tall, so Yan Funing had no choice but to look up at him: "Even if I had feelings for him, we are divorced now. Will it affect your fight with him?"

"It doesn't affect it."

"That's fine, please give way."

Seeing that he refused to give way, Yan Funing walked past him.

Yan Xinghe said to her back: "What I said before was wrong."

"It's all in the past." Yan Funing paused, "But now when I think about it, I feel wronged for myself at that time. My brother scolded my sister for being a fake sister, saying that my sister deserved to be thrown into a pig cage."
