Since Young Master Pei is so affectionate towards her, she naturally wouldn't want to displease Madam Pei.

So, after Qiao Zixi deliberately tried to please him, the marriage was arranged.

Before leaving, Madam Pei took a deep look at the shy and obedient Qiao Zixi and realized that the rumors were indeed unreliable.

She said, "How could someone who saved her son without leaving their name be an unreasonable shrew?"

It seems that Su Muxi is quite scheming. The Anyang Marquis's Mansion has such a bad reputation all because of Su Muxi!

Upon learning that the marriage had been arranged, Xie Xuan, unusually, hosted a dinner for Pei Yuan at Zuixianlou Restaurant.

"Brother Pei, I will remember this kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask! I will drink this in advance!"

After Xie Xuan finished speaking, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.

I don't know what got into the Empress, she's been randomly matchmaking people up.

He actually wanted the emperor to issue an imperial decree to bestow a marriage upon him, betrothing Qiao Zixi to him.

Are you kidding me!

He doesn't want to marry a shrew.

Fortunately, his father rejected the marriage proposal before the emperor could finish speaking, otherwise his carefree life would have come to an end.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he told Pei Yuan about the matter that very night.

Didn't Pei Yuan believe that Qiao Zixi was the woman who saved him back then?

Then hurry up and marry her!

Thinking this way, Xie Xuan was no longer afraid that Pei Yuan would be deceived. After all, compared with his own important life event, whether his friend was deceived or not seemed to be so important.

Xie Xuan was happy, and Pei Yuan was also very happy.

I had been thinking of getting to know Xi'er slowly and finding an opportunity to ask her about what happened back then, but I never expected things to change so quickly. The Emperor actually wanted to bestow a marriage upon Xi'er.

He had been searching for Xi'er for three years, and he couldn't let her slip away like this. So he decided to strike first and threatened to kill himself to force his mother to go to the Marquis of Anyang's mansion to propose marriage.

Originally, my mother was against the marriage, but after she returned, she readily agreed to it.

He knew it; Xi'er was so pretty and cute, how could she be like what was rumored outside!

It must be Su Muxi spreading rumors everywhere to ruin Xi'er's reputation!

Pei Yuan suppressed his dissatisfaction with Su Muxi and was about to toast Xie Xuan when he saw Xie Xuan looking out the window and muttering to himself, "Isn't that Su Muxi? What is she up to?"
