Shen Yu’an and Fei Yanchen discussed matters along the way, and they didn’t return to Longxian Village until noon the following day.
Fei Yanchen, somewhat reluctant, left Shen Yu’an at his doorstep before departing. He had to personally oversee the dowry for the marriage proposal, and he wondered how Fei Dong had prepared it.
Furthermore, not all of the dowry could be openly delivered to the Shen family. After all, a dowry of the caliber fitting for the future princess was a significant and attention-grabbing event here.
Therefore, they had to deliver some of it openly and discreetly take the rest to the Shen family.
Fei Yanchen gritted his teeth in frustration.
But even if they reduced the public display, he would never let Shen Yu’an be mistreated.
After watching Shen Yu’an enter the courtyard, Fei Yanchen swiftly made his way up the mountain.
He had only two more days to stay, and those two days were incredibly busy.
After all, this place housed thousands of people in the camp, not to mention the mining operations. He needed to make advanced preparations.
The new forge was built not far from the mines for convenience.
Fei Yanchen inspected various weapons and carefully arranged the well-trained soldiers on the mountain.
In the midst of the country’s chaos, he wouldn’t take these soldiers with him; they would stay behind to protect Shen Yu’an.
The soldiers from the western frontier would return to their command.
Fei Yanchen selected ten individuals with excellent skills and unremarkable appearances. He planned to assign them to Shen Yu’an once he left.
After organizing all of this, Fei Yanchen found Fei Dong to go over the dowry list.
Fei Dong had prepared about seventy to eighty percent of the items, as they were running out of time and couldn’t arrange everything properly.
However, even at seventy to eighty percent, the items on the list were extraordinary and not suitable for ordinary people.
Because he had something on his mind, Fei Yanchen returned to the village as night fell.
The Shen family had already finished their dinner, and when they saw Fei Yanchen, they thought he hadn’t eaten and were about to rush to the kitchen.
Fei Yanchen hurriedly stopped them and cast a glance in Shen Yu’an’s direction.
“I came because I have something to discuss with Grandma and Grandpa Shen and Uncle and Aunt.”
Shen Yu’an knew what he wanted to talk about but remained silent. It was best to handle this matter himself.
Grandma Shen , however, was full of questions as she watched Fei Yanchen rush over.
“What do you want to discuss?”
Fei Yanchen glanced at the people in the courtyard and said, “Let’s talk in private.”
Although they didn’t quite understand, Grandma Shen and the others followed Fei Yanchen into the main hall for a private conversation.
Grandma Shen asked anxiously, “What’s the matter, Ah’Chen?”
Fei Yanchen scanned the room, and everyone was present: Grandpa and Grandma Shen, The Shen Siblings and the three sisters-in-law.
Fei Yanchen dropped a bombshell without preamble.
“I want to marry An’An.”
“!!!”
Everyone in the room was shocked, not expecting that the matter Fei Yanchen wanted to discuss was this.
The people remaining in the courtyard exchanged confused glances.
What’s going on? Why is it so secretive that they had to discuss it behind closed doors?
Shen Sanlang, who had been staying at home these days, curiously asked his sister, “Do you know what’s going on?”
Shen Yu’an naturally knew what was going on, but she kept quiet. Mostly because she was curious about how the conversation inside was progressing.
Could her parents easily agree to this?
And she guessed right. After Fei Yanchen dropped his bombshell, there was a brief silence inside. But in the next moment, everyone’s gaze turned sharp as knives on Fei Yanchen.
Fei Yanchen didn’t back down.
They talked for about an hour before coming out.
After Fei Yanchen emerged, he only glanced at Shen Yu’an from a distance and then hurried away.
He needed to double-check everything; there couldn’t be any mistakes tomorrow.
