The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After marrying Ya Tou, Er Yuehong changed completely, and she paid more attention to Ya Tou.

Fang Yun smiled and nodded.

"It can be cured."

Seeing Fang Yun nod, Qi Tiezui and Huo Sanniang were both shocked.

Outsiders may not know about the girl's condition, but they know it very well.

The girl's illness was privately referred to as "depletion of vital energy" by a group of famous doctors in the medical field. It was an incurable disease that could only prolong life but could not cure the root cause.

To be able to cure the girl... how good must this tomb raider's medical skills be?

Upon closer reflection, it seems this tomb raider knows a lot too much.

Chapter 185 Poor Boy, Rich Girl

We chatted for about half an hour.

Qi Tiezui left.

Before leaving, he invited Fang Yun to visit his family's ancestral hall for tea sometime and to discuss their experiences in feng shui and divination.

Fang Yun readily agreed.

Qi Tiezui is actually a pretty good person. To be honest, he's the easiest to talk to among the Nine Gates.

After Qi Tiezui left, Huo Sanniang brought up the topic of Seventh Sister.

"Master Fang, I never expected that you would actually win over my little fairy maiden."

Huo Sanniang smiled and took Qi Guniang's hand, looking at Fang Yun.

“My little fairy is more famous in the city than I am. Master Fang has excellent taste.”

Hear the words.

Fang Yun grinned and said:

"Seventh Miss's beauty is unparalleled in the world, and I am no exception. I hope you will forgive me, Master Huo."

"543"

He and Hua had been through too many life-and-death situations, and in fact, they initially thought they would stay together for life.

But... it's really difficult.

This is especially true for someone like him who traveled from a later era.

The rules have been in place for twenty years.

Now, his thinking is very simple.

Since I've been given a second chance at life and have a system by my side, I'll naturally get whatever I want in this life, regardless of the cost or the means.

"It's only human nature. In this chaotic world, I'm truly grateful that I'm following Master Fang."

Huo Sanniang chuckled, a hint of satisfaction appearing in her eyes as she looked at the Seventh Sister.

The Seventh Miss was her favored niece, the one she had chosen as the next head of the Huo family. Naturally, she hoped that the Seventh Miss would have a better life and that someone would support her.

Now that my niece has chosen her own man, that's wonderful.

Now let's talk about Fang Yun.

Although she already had a wife, she didn't care about that at all.

Which wealthy gentry and merchant in this city doesn't have three wives and four concubines?

Thinking of the flower beside Fang Yun, Huo San Niang raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully.

"Master Fang, since things have come to this point, why don't we set a date for a banquet to finalize the matter?"

"After all, Little Fairy is my own niece, and the next head of our Huo family. I, Third Sister, can't let my niece lose face..."

Hearing Huo Sanniang's words, Seventh Miss also looked at Fang Yun, a hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Yun pondered for a moment and nodded.

In this era, wealthy families still adhered to the ancient marriage customs of "three letters and six rites".

It's actually quite similar to later generations, just a bit more complicated.

Although he hoped to keep things simple, he still had to give the Seventh Sister a formal explanation, since all the wedding customs had been followed when he married Hua.

The "three letters and six rites" signify a proper marriage into a prestigious family.

He knew what Huo San Niang was up to, but he didn't care.

He made the decisions about things in his own backyard.

Seeing Fang Yun nod, Huo Sanniang's face lit up with joy, and she smiled:

"In that case, I'll take care of it. Let's find an auspicious day to settle things."

"From now on, we are family."

The marriage between her niece and the tomb raider was a joyous occasion for both her and the Huo family.

not to mention.

Fang Yun also had connections with the Mountain Moving and Unloading factions, and even the Zhang and Hong families owed him favors.

This time, the Huo family is guaranteed to make a profit.

Once this news reached the Huo family, none of the older women in the family would dare to say that she was not capable enough.

Looking at Huo San Niang, who had the expression of an aunt, Fang Yun sighed inwardly.

This woman is too calculating. He doesn't really like dealing with people like her. If you don't have some skills, you'll be devoured, leaving not even bones behind.

However, there's no need to overthink it.

After all, he also hoped that the Huo family would prosper.

Times will always change, and he needs to build relationships that he can use in the future.

..............................

After chatting briefly about the engagement, Huo San Niang tactfully left, leaving the place to Fang Yun and the Seventh Miss.

"Finally, some peace and quiet this morning."

Fang Yun stretched and exhaled.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled Seventh Sister over, made her sit on his lap, and kissed her cherry lips.

"If your aunt knew I was going to take you away, I wonder if she'd be furious."

"will not."

The seventh girl uttered two words softly, shifting her body to find a more comfortable position in Fang Yun's arms.

"The Huo family has many women, and there are more than thirty of my generation alone. My aunt has high hopes for me, but that doesn't mean I can become the head of the family."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun was astonished.

"Why are there so many?"

Although the Huo family is a large family, there are just too many members in this family...

There are more than thirty of Seventh Sister's peers alone, so the entire family must have at least several hundred people.

The seventh sister raised her head and smiled, "The Huo family is different. The Huo family has always been run by women, and the rules are different too."

"Women of the Huo family rarely marry outside the family. Most of them take in sons-in-law who live with them. If they do marry outside the family, as long as they give birth to a daughter, she will take her mother's surname and be sent back to the Huo family to be raised when she is six years old."

“It’s not just about daughters; this rule extends to three generations, from daughters to great-granddaughters.”

"Therefore, as long as the Huo family doesn't fall, the number of people will only increase."

"I see..."

Fang Yun nodded in realization.

This rule is indeed good; it allows the Huo family to have a wealth of talent and ensure the continuity of its lineage.

Moreover, this rule is very useful in these chaotic times.

The Huo family is wealthy and powerful. For many people, getting involved with them means a life free from worries about food and clothing. Sending a woman to the Huo family might even help the family climb to a high position.

Of course, this rule doesn't apply to him.

Huo San Niang didn't dare mention this rule to him.

If he has a daughter in the future, he will definitely raise her as a princess and will never let her suffer any hardship or touch his old profession.

He's truly willing to be a slave to his daughter.

If it's a son... stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, once a day.

He was beaten a lot when he was a child, and he'll have to settle the score with his son later!

Thinking of this, Fang Yun felt a sense of anticipation.

Seeing the change in Fang Yun's expression, Seventh Sister guessed what Fang Yun was thinking. Her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and snuggled into Fang Yun's arms.

Seeing this, Fang Yun smiled and gently kissed the Seventh Sister on the cheek.
