Young Marshal: Many children bring more blessings, marry a wife who is as powerful as the world - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Stealing the Young Marshal’s Bride—Marrying Yu Fengzhi

It was spring, 1916 at Marshal’s Mansion, Fengtian.

“Damn it! Xiaoliuzi! The world isn’t just about fighting and killing—it’s about relationships and social connections!”

“A marriage arranged by parents and a matchmaker—I already made a promise to Old Master Yu!”

“You will marry Yu Fengzhi!”

“If you refuse, I’ll tie you up and make you marry her!”

The Marshal’s Mansion was filled with loud arguments. Marshal Zhang was reprimanding the Young Marshal!

It was no surprise that the Young Marshal was resisting. After all, he was the esteemed Young Marshal of the Fengtian Army—handsome and dashing. He was even regarded as one of the four most attractive men of the Republic.

But this Yu family’s eldest daughter—Yu Fengzhi…

She was said to be five years older than him, and no one even knew what she looked like.

Marrying her without knowing anything?

Who knew what the future would hold?

—

At that moment, neither the servants nor the concubines dared to speak. Both the Marshal and the Young Marshal had fiery tempers. Anyone who spoke up now might be dragged out and shot on the spot. The atmosphere was tense.

The entire Marshal’s Mansion was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then, suddenly a clear and confident voice rang out from the side.

“Father!”

“If Big Brother doesn’t want to marry Miss Yu…”

“Why don’t I marry her instead?”

The words had barely fallen when everyone was stunned. Especially Young Marshal Zhang Xiaoliu, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

“Second Brother!”

“You’d marry that old woman?”

—

As Zhang Xiaoliu glared in anger, everyone turned to look at the equally sharp-featured young man who had spoken. It was none other than the Marshal’s second son—Zhang Xueming.

What?

The older brother refused to marry, so the younger brother was stepping in?

What kind of ridiculous turn of events was this?

The entire Marshal’s Mansion was in shock. Marshal Zhang Zuolin’s face darkened.

He stared at Zhang Xueming and growled, “What? Xueming, you want to marry your brother’s fiancée?”

As the supreme commander of the Fengtian Army, Zhang Zuolin had a long-established aura of authority. Even though he was lean, he exuded the presence of a fierce tiger ready to pounce.

Most people wouldn’t be able to withstand his piercing gaze. They would tremble and be unable to utter a single coherent word. But Zhang Xueming, standing at the center of the storm, remained calm and composed. After all, he was a transmigrator. Everything he had prepared was leading up to this very moment!

He raised his voice confidently.

“Father, that’s not right. Yu Fengzhi hasn’t married into the family yet—how can she be considered my sister-in-law?”

“And besides—am I not also a son of the Zhang family?”

His words were firm and powerful.

Marshal Zhang’s eyes lit up.

That’s right!

The marriage was arranged between the Zhang and Yu families. But no one said it had to be the eldest son who married her!

Forcing Xiaoliuzi into marriage wouldn’t work.

Who knew what kind of trouble he might cause after the wedding? That would only make things difficult for Miss Yu.

Besides, this marriage had been arranged before Zhang Zuolin’s rise to power. He was only agreeing to it out of obligation.

But now?

Even if the Yu family was wealthy—Could they compare to him, the ruler of the Northeast, the King of Fengtian?

His son could easily marry an aristocratic lady from the imperial capital!

If the eldest son wouldn’t marry—The second son marrying was still giving them face!

—

Meanwhile, Xiaoliuzi was on the verge of tears.

What did it mean to have a good brother?

This was a good brother!

“Second Brother!”

“You’re taking the fall for me!”

“I don’t deserve you!”

—

Watching Xiaoliuzi cry snot and tears, Zhang Xueming was secretly overjoyed.

According to history, he knew Yu Fengzhi was an exceptional wife. She was the eldest daughter of a wealthy merchant, not only stunningly beautiful but also a genius in business.

No matter how much the Young Marshal squandered his fortune, she always managed the Zhang family’s wealth behind the scenes. Even when the Young Marshal married multiple concubines—She kept the household in order and prevented any chaos. She was the good definition of a virtuous wife!

And on top of that, she was perfect for his Strongest Family System!

In his past life, she had allowed the Young Marshal to marry three concubines.

With his system…

Why not thirty?

She probably wouldn’t mind, right?

—

“Sorry, Xiaoliuzi. This is for the greater good!”

“I have to step in and steal this one!”

Though Zhang Xueming was ecstatic, he put on a dramatic expression of pain.

He hugged Zhang Xiaoliu and wailed.

“Brother! How could a countryside girl like Yu Fengzhi be worthy of you?”

“For the sake of the Zhang family—”

“I’ll bear this burden alone!”

Zhang Xiaoliu was heartbroken.

His younger brother was taking the hit for him!

“Xueming, why must it come to this?”

—

Watching his two sons embrace, displaying such brotherly love and selflessness—Marshal Zhang Zuolin revealed a satisfied smile. Xueming has grown up!

He waved his hand.

“Fine! Then it shall be my second son—Zhang Xueming—who weds the eldest daughter of the Yu family!”
