Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 412: Cannon Fodder She Stole the Golden Finger of the Heroine

Old Master Meng, who was far away in Kyoto, was sitting in his study playing chess with his son. Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves and shouts outside the door: "Old Master, Master! The young master sent someone to deliver an urgent letter!" Old Master Meng's heart tightened and he quickly put down the chess piece in his hand.

When the letter arrived, he opened the envelope with trembling hands. After quickly scanning a few lines of text, his face turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, the butler beside him hurried forward to support the old man and asked with concern, "Old Master, what's wrong with you? Did something serious happen to the young master?"

Old Master Meng was so angry that he was shaking all over. He tightly grasped the letter paper with his fingers and cursed with gritted teeth: "Look at this rebellious son you gave birth to! He really makes me mad!" As he spoke, he coughed violently, and a fishy and sweet smell surged up in his throat. He almost vomited blood and fainted.

The letter revealed that Young Master Meng was determined to marry Jiang Nian, a concubine of the Jiang family, and forgo the renowned, yet still unmarried Jiang Lan. Old Master Meng angrily shouted, "Son, you are so rebellious! You are so blind to the value of a precious gift! Jiang Lan is so well-educated and talented, how could she be inferior to a mere concubine?"

General Meng, standing nearby, also frowned, looking at the one thousand taels of silver on the letter, groaning inwardly. He knew his wife was extremely stingy, and if she knew about this amount of money, it would definitely cause another uproar. So, he asked cautiously, "Father, what should we do with this money?"

Old Master Meng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He took a sip from the teacup on the table and said slowly, "Since he insists on marrying Jiang Nian, then let him pay for it from his own private treasury. However..." He paused briefly before instructing, "Pick some precious items from our house and send them to the Jiang family as compensation. After all, Miss Lan's reputation has certainly been damaged after this incident. Besides, once we arrive in Lingcheng, we'll need money for everything."

General Meng nodded in agreement, secretly wondering how he could keep this a secret from his wife. However, Old Master Meng seemed to see through his son's thoughts and added, "This matter must not be made public. If we simply send money, it will inevitably lead to the impression that our General's Mansion is colluding with the guilty minister. But if we send these valuables as compensation for breaking off the engagement, it will arouse no suspicion and will not implicate either of our families."

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal General Meng to go and arrange the relevant matters.

So after a lot of trouble, Su Lan not only received 500 taels of betrothal money, but also some valuables that were easy to buy and sell, which made her feel somewhat grateful to Mr. Meng.

The exile team still traveled during the day and rested at night. In addition, Su Lan gave the Jiang family extra meals from time to time, which made their physical fitness much better than other prisoners. No one, whether elderly or women or children, ever got sick.

Jiang Nian finally got her wish and lived the life of a young lady she had always dreamed of. The reason Meng Fan had asked for the full five hundred taels of silver from his family was precisely to please his new fiancée.

Although Jiang Nian has successfully been with her lover, the halo of the heroine around her has not become more dazzling as imagined. Instead, it has shown a gradually weakening trend - 70%, 65%, 60%... the value continues to decline.

As time went by, Meng Fan gradually noticed a puzzling phenomenon: his wife in his previous life could easily pull out all kinds of rare and precious items from the mysterious space, but now, even though her legs were almost disabled, Jiang Nian remained completely silent! Such abnormal behavior was truly suspicious.

However, Meng Fan was a man of great cunning, so how could Jiang Nian easily understand his inner thoughts? So, he began to quietly test Jiang Nian, often casually hinting, "Nian Nian, you've been able to come up with all sorts of bizarre things these past two months. Now my mother's birthday is coming up, and I'm worried about it. I really don't know what to give her to please her."

Jiang Nian's heart tightened at Meng Fan's words, and he secretly groaned. But he feigned composure and replied casually, "Don't worry, General. I'll be back in a couple of days, once I'm a little stronger, and I'll definitely help Mother choose a birthday gift that's perfect for her."

After saying that, she quickly changed the subject, trying to put the matter behind her. After all, she was the only one who knew that ever since her last attempt to open that magical planting space, no matter how hard she called out, she could no longer make any contact with it. At this moment, Jiang Nian was filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

The road of exile lasted for five months. After going around in circles, there was only the last half a month left. The large group was about to pass by the mountain where the original owner was humiliated in the previous life. Su Lan could only use his spiritual power to suppress the original owner's resentment.

The closer he got to Lingcheng, the more dissatisfied Meng Fan felt, like a flood bursting through a dam, surging and accumulating to the peak!

His original plan was to trick the other party into giving him the planting space before reaching his destination, and then abandon the disabled person.

Could it be that it was simply because she hadn't married Jiang Nian in this life that she failed to trust herself wholeheartedly, and thus had not revealed to herself the true existence of the mysterious planting space?

After careful consideration, in order to realize his grand plan, Meng Fan gritted his teeth and decided to carefully prepare a simple wedding banquet for Jiang Nian in the military camp so that Jiang Nian would be willing to give up his treasure.

When Jiang Nian heard this surprising news, she was completely immersed in uncontrollable excitement. However, despite her inner joy, she couldn't help but ask again and again: "Brother Meng, you really don't mind my leg disease? Even the military doctor once asserted..."

Facing Jiang Nian's doubtful and uneasy gaze, Meng Fan opened his mouth without hesitation, and a string of sweet lies flowed out of his mouth like flowing water: "Niannian, I truly love you, and from the bottom of my heart I long to walk through the long journey of life with you. From now on, I, Meng Gongping, will only have you as my beloved wife in this life!"

These sweet words were like a spring breeze, instantly blowing Jiang Nian's heart into bloom and filling her with joy.

After all, in ancient times, it was so rare to be with one person for a lifetime!

They also invited Jiang's father to attend as an elder, but Su Lan asked the male protagonist to treat everyone in the exile team to a banquet, otherwise, the Jiang family would not attend the wedding banquet.

Meng Fan agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was cursing them as a bunch of useless people who only cared about eating and drinking. When he got that soft-text position, he would not let any of the Jiang family members go.

Su Lan didn't care about his random thoughts. After having some food and drinks with his tribesmen, he left the military camp and returned to the exile team.

That night, Meng Fan deliberately told Jiang Nian about his rebirth and the planting space, which made Jiang Nian feel that he was a gift from God.

"Husband, I also want to share the resources in the space with you, but I don't know what variables have occurred that make the space unable to be opened." Jiang Nian snuggled in Meng Fan's arms with a sad face, gently telling him about her troubles.

Hearing this, Meng Fan was shocked. He looked at his gentle wife in his arms in disbelief and asked, "The space can't be opened? Aren't you its owner? Logically, you should be able to control it as you wish!" As he said that, he subconsciously grabbed the wedding blanket under him tightly, and because he used too much force, he almost tore it.
