The Forced Marriage of Third Master Pei

Pei Gang Lin's face darkened, feeling unwell all over. Having lived so many years, he truly never expected to encounter such a thing.
He, the notorious Third Master Pei, local overlord of Feng Tong Town, was actually ordered by a Xiao Ge Er to bathe and be brought into a room?

After a moment of shock and doubt, the Zhong family members quickly slapped their thighs, nervously confirming, their words stuttering: "Xiao Yu, you, you, you mean to..."

"Zhaoji! Yes, that's exactly what everyone is thinking."
Qiu Qi interrupted and affirmed, his expression calm and natural.

As soon as the words fell, Old Lady Zhong was so angry she almost fainted.
No, no! How could Xiao Yu Zhaoji? Their Zhong family wasn't without sons, and he wanted to bring him into the room today?
Their Zhong family wasn't bandits or mountain brigands who plundered civilians. Most importantly, this jinx had to be married off!

"Xiao Yu, no, no, no, we are decent people. What are you saying? How can you just bring him into the room directly! Even if you truly have feelings for this young man, Grandma will find a matchmaker to talk. Even without an eight-bearer sedan chair, there must be the three letters and six rites. Otherwise, if word gets out, our Zhong family will lose face in ten miles and eight villages!"
Old Lady Zhong hastily advised.
If it were before, she would have directly rushed out with a broom, but now, she didn't dare. She could only be anxious, not even daring to utter a single curse, fearing that this unfilial grandson, Qiu Qi, would strike again.

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Yu, marriage is a big affair and cannot be rushed. Without a matchmaker, betrothal gifts, and a wedding ceremony, that would be improper conduct and would lead to being drowned..."
Even Auntie Zhong, who always believed silence was golden and avoided trouble, couldn't help but speak up.
Mainly, Qiu Qi's words were truly too shocking. An unmarried Xiao Ge Er wanting to choose a man himself was one thing, but he was also in a hurry to bring him into the room immediately. Not even a bandit's Xiao Ge Er would be so aggressive!
However, a certain someone couldn't just be described as "aggressive"; he had to be "ferocious."

Qiu Qi glanced at the man with a darkened face in the pit. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He liked masculine, handsome men, especially the man at the bottom of the pit who carried a murderous aura and an imposing presence. Regardless of his personality, his appearance alone met the standard for the loyal "puppy" type he adored.
Personality could be slowly molded, but fate was hard to find.

"How many rules do we have in our countryside? Good deeds should be done as soon as possible. Today is an auspicious day. Go find some red candles and call the uncles and elders here. Tonight, I want to hold a wedding ceremony." Qiu Qi smiled gently and said: "I don't mind simplifying everything."

We mind! The Zhong family screamed internally.
At this moment, Pei Gang Lin's face was as black as ink.
The two tall, honest men were even more furious, their faces turning purple. This was the first time they had seen a Xiao Ge Er more aggressive than a bandit, snatching someone without a word, and even snatching their boss, wanting to consummate the marriage today.
Damn it, if this happened, how could they ever face anyone again?

"Xiao Ge Er, what are you talking about? What marriage? Did our big brother agree to marry you?"
One of them said angrily.

Qiu Qi looked at them as if they were idiots: "I'm marrying him. Your big brother is marrying into my family."

"That's still not allowed! Our big brother doesn't agree! You're forcibly abducting a civilian man!"
The two honest, strong men were utterly enraged, their faces filled with indignation.

Civilian man...
Pei Gang Lin shot a sideways glance at his two brothers, looking as if he wanted to skin them alive.

Qiu Qi said nothing, smiling innocently and letting them make a fuss. In short, he remained as steady as a mountain, strangely calm.
At this moment, even if Pei Gang Lin was foolish, he knew he had stumbled where least expected and encountered an unreasonable, perverse individual.
Even if the young man didn't make a move, he couldn't display such calm composure without sufficient confidence.
He hadn't noticed before, but now, with a sense of vigilance, he felt the hidden aura on Qiu Qi. That fleeting murderous aura actually made someone who had charged through battlefields like him feel an inexplicable pressure.
Since when did such a figure appear in a small village like Dong Bai Zhuang, and a Xiao Ge Er at that?

Pei Gang Lin retracted his hearty smile, his face serious. He cupped his hands and said:
"It seems the great flood has breached the Dragon King's temple, and now family members are fighting amongst themselves. Today, we were presumptuous. I am Third Master Pei from Feng Tong Town. May I ask which family this Xiao Ge Er belongs to?"
Although this young man was a Xiao Ge Er, he carried the aura of a Jianghu figure and could not be underestimated. He was probably also from the Jianghu, so there was no need to beat around the bush. Jianghu matters had Jianghu rules.

Third Master Pei?
As soon as the words fell, the Zhong family was startled again. Especially Zhong Guang Ming, whose eyes immediately turned to Pei Gang Lin, his face as if he had seen a ghost.
It couldn't be such a coincidence! The man who fell into the pit outside their house was Third Master Pei?
Was it the Third Master Pei he knew?
Damn it, his younger brother actually dared to push Third Master Pei into a pit, and even wanted to snatch him to be his husband. They were doomed!
