My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 558: Why Is She Here?

Chapter 558: Why Is She Here?

When Qin Feng became the Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet, the sensitive officials and nobles knew that the Qin family would prosper because of Qin Feng.

At that time, many people came to propose marriage in order to climb the social ladder.

As a result, the aggressive arrival of the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Clan’s inexplicable proposal attracted the attention of the entire Imperial City.

After the Azure Dragon’s daughter became Qin Feng’s wife, those ambitious officials and nobles also began to retreat.

After all, a single Liu Jianli was enough to overshadow all the women in the world.

And with a woman from the Dragon Clan’s Azure Dragon lineage, who would dare to marry into the Qin family? And who had such qualifications?

However, the journey to the western regions made Qin Feng famous, and everyone started thinking again, but they had not acted.

Until yesterday’s Heavenly Tribulation came down, and when Qin Feng crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, his carefree and unrestrained behaviour made these officials and nobles unable to sit still.

In the hall, Father Qin waved his hand and said, “My Feng’er has two wives now, how can he marry again? Thank you all for your kindness, but Feng’er does not have this blessing.”

Lan Ningshuang, who was pouring tea on the side, breathed a sigh of relief at the scene. If the Young master were to marry someone else, wouldn’t that mean she had no chance at all?

As soon as this thought occurred to her, her face flushed red and she quickly shook her head to clear her mind.

The people in the hall looked at each other, but no one left.

After all, apart from Qin Feng’s brilliant achievements, as the upper class figures of the Imperial Capital, they also knew a secret.

That is, those who attract the Heavenly Tribulation at the level of a fourth stage were all naturally talented. Besides, Qin Feng was still so young, and his future was bound to be immeasurable!

If they could bind themselves to the Qin family through this, they would be able to ensure their family’s prosperity for at least a hundred years. How could they retreat?

However, they must try their best and strive for it!

After a moment of silence, the head of the Ministry of Rites spoke up: “Master Qin, you are wrong. With such an outstanding son, what is the harm in marrying a few more women?”

“Besides, even if our daughters are not as outstanding as the young master’s two current wives, we still have an obvious advantage.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Even if they were arrogant and boastful, they wouldn’t dare compare their daughters to Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan, let alone find a way to surpass them.

Although the people who came to propose marriage didn’t say it out loud, they all showed their thoughts on their faces: “Even if you are the Minister of Rites, with the highest official position here, if you say such big words, it’s hard for us to support you.”

The Minister of Rites smiled faintly, “There’s no need for such solemn expressions, what I’m about to say is the advantage of continuing the family line!”

The crowd was at first puzzled to hear this, but then suddenly enlightened with a gleam in their eyes.

Everyone present was perceptive and quickly understood the reason.

Regardless of their family background or appearance, Liu Jianli and the women of the Dragon Clan were one in a million, rarely seen in the world.

Moreover, they were exceptionally talented and powerful, one of them a third-tier sword god and the other a formidable figure in the Seven Calamities Cycle.

But therein lay the problem!

Since these two women were so powerful, and their bloodlines far surpassed those of ordinary people, how could an ordinary man procreate with them?

And for aristocratic families, there was nothing more important than continuing the family line!

This was a breakthrough for everyone present!

Even the Second Mother, who had originally supported Father Qin’s idea, looked hesitant when she heard this.

Seeing this, Lan Ningshuang hurriedly said, “Master, yesterday Young master has already reached the fourth stage. According to Master Liu’s words, Young master can now have offspring with Miss and Miss Cang!”

“Could this young lady be the Liu family’s sword attendant?”

“Yes, I am Miss’s sword attendant.”

The Minister of Rites pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly and spoke again, “What the Military God Liu said cannot be wrong, of course, but this is simply a transition from impossibility to possibility.”

“Your Miss Liu Jianli has already reached the realm of a third class sword god at such a young age. How many men’s bloodlines can surpass hers?”

“The fourth level of cultivation might not be low, but compared to the third level, there’s still quite a gap.”

“As for the female Dragon Clan, it’s well known that the Dragon Clan has trouble producing offspring. How could Young mater Qin’s cultivation progress change this fact?”

With a pause, the Minister of Rites took a sip of tea before continuing, “Hehe, Lord Qin and Lady Qin might want to consider this carefully. It wouldn’t hurt to take another concubine for Young master Qin. After all, it’s all for the sake of continuing the Qin family lineage.”

Lan Ningshuang was speechless for a moment, realising that this situation was beyond her control as a sword attendant.

She wanted to call the young lady and Miss Cang back, but she was also afraid that something bigger might happen if she left.

Just then, the gatekeeper suddenly announced, “Master Ya’an from the Gathering Treasure Pavilion is here to offer his congratulations.”

Lan Ningshuang’s expression changed for a moment, then she showed a hint of joy. This person was her young master’s good friend; perhaps he could delay these elders for a while!

The others looked at each other and whispered.

“Zhang, you often interact with the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. Who is this person? Have you heard of him?” someone asked quietly.

The Minister of Rites frowned slightly, “I often deal with the general manager of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion in the Imperial City, and I know some of their higher-ups, but I’ve never heard of such a person. He’s probably someone trying to curry favour. If you deliberately mention my name in front of him, he’ll quietly leave. Don’t delay things.”

“Understood, Minister Zhang.”

Soon Ya’an, dressed in white, arrived at the hall under the guidance of the gatekeeper. Then he clenched his fists and said, “Lord Qin, Lady Qin, Miss Ningshuang, it’s been a while. I’ve heard that Brother Qin has successfully reached the fourth rank, so I’ve come here to offer my congratulations.”

The Minister of Rites, Mr Zhang, felt strangely familiar when he saw the visitor, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

As he looked closer and locked eyes with Ya’an, a colossal wave surged through his heart: ‘Princess Anya, it really is Princess Anya. Why is she dressed as a man here?’

Wait, she actually knows several people from the Qin family and even addresses Young Master Qin as Brother Qin. Could it be…

A thought formed in his mind and Mr. Zhang trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down.

Anya smiled and said, “So Mr Zhang is here too, it’s been a long time.”

The Assistant Minister of Rites beside him frowned, “How bold, you’re just a…”

Before he could finish, a crisp slap echoed, stunning not only the Assistant Minister, but everyone present.

“Mr Zhang, what do you mean?”

You would be kneeling down if you knew Princess Anya’s true appearance. I am trying to save you. Mr Zhang thought like this and scolded, “How dare you speak to Young Master Ya’an like that?”

The other officials and dignitaries present all wore shocked expressions. Could this person’s identity be extraordinary?

Anya smiled faintly, “Mr Zhang, there’s no need for that. By the way, there were some issues regarding the previous transactions between the Gathering Treasure Pavilion and the Ministry of Rites. Could we have a private talk?”

“Of course,” Mr Zhang agreed immediately.
