Chapter 81 Going Mad, Multiple Husbands and One Wife?
Just as Old Master Qi was discussing what to do, Li Keyong said, "I will talk to Li Maozhen. You can rest assured about that. But Young Master Qi, just say it straight: do you agree to marry Miss Qiu?"
Qi Yuxuan felt somewhat embarrassed: "Miss Yushuang and I grew up together since childhood. It can be said that we are deeply in love and it is really difficult for me to go against my heart. It is really difficult for Yuxuan to marry another woman."
"What a profound and devoted love, it's truly difficult to marry again. I, Qiu Ziyue, was entrusted by an old friend to waste my breath talking to Young Master Qi here. Since I have done my best, I will not force it any further. The bet is hereby void. I, Qiu Ziyue, am not someone who cannot be married." After saying this, Qiu Ziyue turned around and prepared to leave.
"Don't go, Miss Qiu. My son is ignorant and foolish. I, Qi Jiangfeng, agree to this marriage," Qi Jiangfeng pleaded with Qiu Ziyue to stay.
“Father, you,” Qi Yuxuan said.
“Shut up, Yu Xuan. Your promise to Yu Shuang was only made verbally by me and her father. There was no written agreement. You have been more than kind to Yu Shuang. When she was poisoned and recovering, you took meticulous care of her. Now that she is poisoned again and her life is nearing its end, you should also consider what will happen to our Qi family if there is no heir in the future,” Qi Jiangfeng said.
“Father, but I don’t even have anything in common with this female demon. Besides, she has offended all the major sects in the martial arts world. If she marries into our family, she will only cause trouble for our Qi family. How can I dare to marry her?” Qi Yuxuan said.
“Shut up. Miss Qiu has promised to find an antidote for Yu Shuang, to cure her poison, and has agreed to marry into the family. What’s wrong with that?” Qi Jiangfeng said.
Qi Yuxuan remained silent.
Seeing this, Qiu Ziyue said, "Uncle Qi, since Young Master Qi has made up his mind, I, Qiu Ziyue, will not force him. However, I promise that regardless of whether we get married or not, I will do my best to find the antidote for Miss Yushuang and help her and your son get together."
“You really want to grant my request?” Qi Jiangfeng asked.
"A word I say is a word I will never take back," Qiu Ziyue said readily.
“No, Miss Qiu, I’m still in charge in the Qi family. Whether or not you can find the antidote, I will agree to this marriage,” Qi Jiangfeng said.
"Yu Xuan, if you acknowledge me as your father, then hurry up and marry Miss Qiu. Otherwise, I will sever all ties with you as father and son," Qi Jiangfeng added.
"Father, what do you think of Yu Shuang?" Qi Yuxuan whispered.
“If Miss Yushuang criticizes you, tell him to come to me, and I will tell him it was all my idea,” Qi Jiangfeng said.
Old Master Qi shook his head and said, "Then let it be. Our Qi family cannot be without an heir."
Just as Li Keyong was about to suggest that Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue get married on a chosen date, Lu Yuanchangming suddenly knelt down in front of Li Keyong.
“Your Highness, I have a request. I have long admired Miss Ziyue and I am willing to be Miss Qiu’s other husband, to accompany her and protect her,” Lu Yuan said.
"What? Have you lost your mind?" Li Keyong exclaimed in shock.
"I'm willing too."
"I'm willing too."
"I'm willing too."
Qiu Ziyue's three senior brothers also said the same thing one after another, and then the three of them looked at each other.
Qiu Langyu said, "The three of us senior brothers grew up with our junior sister and are used to having her by our side. We are willing to marry her and become her husbands, just to better protect her."
"What? What's wrong with you all today?" Li Keyong asked.
“What’s wrong with you young people? Have you all gone mad? In our Great Tang Dynasty, we have never heard of a system of polygamy. How can you be so open-minded, with three wives and four concubines being commonplace and polyandry being unheard of? This is outrageous. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing. It seems I really am getting old,” Old Master Qi said angrily.
The elders from the Qi family who had been called over were also discussing the matter animatedly.
"Lu Yuanchangming, what are you three senior brothers doing? Stop it, you're making me feel so embarrassed," Qiu Ziyue said softly.
Qi Yuxuan looked at Qiu Ziyue with a strange expression and said, "It seems the rumors in the martial arts world are true. Wherever you go, handsome men follow you. You are really lucky with men."
Qiu Ziyue glanced at Qi Yuxuan.
At this moment, Qiu Ziyue blushed. To be honest, she came from the modern world, where people were not so open-minded. Most people practiced monogamy, and she had never heard of polygamy or polyandry. But Lu Yuanchangming and his three senior brothers were saying that they wanted to be her husbands, which made her feel unsure of how to handle the situation.
Just when the situation was getting awkward, he said, "I am also willing to stay by Miss Qiu's side and be her husband or servant."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was Leng Feng, the one who had fought against Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue and ranked third.
At this moment, Leng Feng was still dressed in a black outfit, with a sword at his waist. He walked steadily, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded heroic spirit.
Qiu Ziyue was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Brother Leng, what's wrong with you today?"
Leng Feng stepped forward and said, “Miss Qiu, I’m afraid you won’t have a good life after you marry into our family. I don’t understand why you don’t choose us when we are all so good to you. I’m worried that Young Master Qi’s feelings for you are not sincere enough and that he won’t be able to treat you wholeheartedly. As for me, I am willing to dedicate my life to protecting you and making you happy.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuxuan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Leng Feng, a hint of determination in his eyes: "Brother Leng, thank you for your kindness. But things are already chaotic enough here today, and you still came."
Leng Feng smiled slightly, but there was a sharp edge to his smile: "Young Master Qi, I am not questioning your sincerity, but I hope that Miss Qiu can receive the best care. If you can truly treat her well wholeheartedly, then I naturally will not say anything more."
Qi Yuxuan said, "Since it is the will of Heaven and the command of my parents, I will accept my fate. I, Qi, am able to take it and let it go. If I marry Miss Qiu, I will definitely be a good man and a good husband. You can rest assured."
Leng Feng smiled slightly and patted Qi Yuxuan on the shoulder: "Young Master Qi, Miss Qiu, you are both outstanding. I hope that you can be devoted to each other and support one another after your marriage. I will let go and will not disturb you any longer."
Leng Feng nodded, turned and left.
At this moment, the atmosphere seemed to become even stranger after the commotion caused by the young men.
Old Master Qi said, "Qiu girl, you don't look like a seductive vulgar woman, but I don't know what kind of bewitching drugs you used on them. However, I've never seen anything like this before in my life. It seems you must have something special about you. I will no longer interfere in this marriage."
"What? Are they helping me or hurting me? They're proposing to me on the surface, but they're actually causing trouble here. What will the Qi family think of me?" Qiu Ziyue asked, looking completely bewildered.
Qi Yuxuan's face also felt sour.
Seeing the strange atmosphere, Yang Xingmi took the initiative to ease the awkwardness, saying, "It seems that Miss Qiu and Young Master Qi's marriage has been settled. Let's set a date. Everyone has witnessed the sincerity of these gentlemen in caring for Miss Qiu. Let's leave it at that. What do you think, Prince Jin?"
Li Keyong said, "Alright, then the marriage is settled. The two families can discuss the specific date later."
Qi Jiangfeng discussed it with the elders of the Qi family.
"How about tomorrow night?" Qiu Ziyue said.
These words shocked everyone present.
"What? Qiu Ziyue, are you crazy? You really want to marry me that badly?" Qi Yuxuan exclaimed in surprise.
