Li ngjun’s words caught An Bingfeng off guard.
These words were indeed his promise back then.
If not for this promise, Li ngjun would absolutely have no chance to enter the Pri Minister Residence as a daughter and stay for so many years.
"Do you rember it, my lord? This was the promise you personally made years ago. ngjun has remained unmarried all these years and is still a maiden. Do you intend to break your promise?" Seeing An Bingfeng hesitate, Li ngjun instantly sensed a glimr of hope and pressed further.
With another wave of his hand, the two who were holding Li ngjun were dismissed.
An Bingfeng paced as he spoke, "I did indeed say those words back then..." Originally, he thought that her brother sacrificing his life for him was worth the Pri Minister Residence sheltering a young maiden who was already betrothed for a few years, which wouldn’t be much trouble.
Yet he didn’t expect Li ngjun’s fiancé to die at the ti of marriage.
He had always thought that she was devoted, staying unmarried for her late fiancé, but didn’t realize she had other intentions.
"A gentleman’s word is his bond; the promise made then should be fulfilled!" So of Li ngjun’s fear eased away.
Because she knew that since An Bingfeng acknowledged it, he wouldn’t break his promise.
Thus, her life would no longer be threatened.
However, confronted with Li ngjun’s questioning, An Bingfeng mocked with laughter, "If I recall correctly, you were betrothed to the Li Family of the capital city, though not extrely wealthy, it was relatively modest..."
Li ngjun dared not respond, unsure of An Bingfeng’s intentions in suddenly ntioning the Li Family.
Especially since the Li Family’s son had been dead for so many years.
But whether Li ngjun responded or not, it didn’t matter to An Bingfeng.
"You have remained unmarried for Li Family’s son all these years, showing true devotion. I will personally send a letter to the Li Residence, letting the Li Family choose a date to marry you into the family and hold a ghost marriage for their son, honoring your sincere heart."
Upon hearing An Bingfeng’s words, Li ngjun’s eyes brimming with fear.
"My lord... You can’t do this, my brother died for you, you promised him to take care of , you can’t harm ..."
An Bingfeng: "I can spare your life, just considering your brother. The Li Family, wealthy enough, can ensure you live comfortably without worries. Don’t be ungrateful; otherwise, you’ll only end up harming yourself and others."
If Li ngjun had behaved properly in consideration of her brother, he wouldn’t be forced to press her like this.
But even within the Pri Minister Residence, she violated his taboo.
It’s because his residence never had a mistress for many years; he detests the intrigue within the household.
To preserve his sanctuary, he could even forego having a wife or daughter. What does Li ngjun count for?
"My lord, even if ngjun was wrong, she only wished to stay by your side quietly and dutifully. How could you be so heartless?"
"I never had feelings for you, so how can I be heartless?"
Li ngjun: "What about Lady Yan? Did you ever have feelings for her?"
The mont’s silence made Li ngjun’s heart ache even more, "So... my lord does have feelings!"
Even though the final choice was abandonnt, choosing Lady Yan back then to bear his children indicated that she was different in the end.
