The beautiful lady spoke softly and gently, explaining the reasons for her hesitation and her forbearance for more than twenty years.

Zheng Peizhi felt nothing but heartache. He pitied his wife and felt sorry for her.

He was even more troubled by why he didn't show up earlier when his wife was suffering.

When he was moved, he even held Yu'er's hand and made a promise uncontrollably.

There is no delay, he is willing to wait, willing to wait for his wife to open her heart completely.

We can talk about marriage then, but before that, the lady should not have any extra burden in her heart.

Seeing how sincerely Yu'er treated her, it would be a lie for her to say she wasn't touched.

The beautiful lady was moved by the man's selfless dedication.

Not only did their relationship not leave any problems due to the misunderstanding, but it quickly warmed up in a short period of time.

It even reached the point where it was accepted by the public.

"Look, ma'am."

The scenery by the lake was just right. Zheng Peizhi raised his hand and pointed at the pairs of mandarin ducks in the center of the lake not far away.

Just like this, they are attracted to each other and entangled in love.

The beautiful lady looked over when she heard this, and her hand was placed in the man's big hand, which was wrapped tightly and held tightly.

However, she was not as evasive as before, and the beautiful lady, who was used to being controlled and approached, restrained her gaze.

She raised her eyes and glanced shyly at someone above her head who was eager to try, and she felt indescribably sweet in her heart.

It can be seen that she and the man have the same idea.

He lowered his eyes and fixed them on the beautiful face of the beautiful lady, which was covered with rouge.

Zheng Peizhi, with a deep glint in his eyes, took his wife's hand and said pitifully.

"Madam, you don't know that I have been wronged in the palace. I wonder if you are willing to vent my anger for me."

Yuer: “Yeah!”

Why did they suddenly talk about an unexpected topic? The beautiful lady's gaze became more and more scorching as she was unable to react.

She couldn't help but bow her head and nod, but suddenly she looked up, her bright and tender eyes full of confusion.

The man's eyes were burning with expectation, which could not be hidden and leaked out. He looked at Yu'er, and Madam Mei saw it clearly.

Zheng Peizhi rubbed the tender skin in his hands with his fingertips, unwilling to let go.

"Madam, you may not know this, but the Empress Dowager in the palace thinks that I, as a younger brother, am useless and cannot be given the title of Madam."

He paused deliberately and continued.

"I'm afraid Madam doesn't even want me. My sister said that. Madam, please help me figure out whether she is right or not."

A flash of sudden realization appeared in Yuer's eyes. No wonder the man retreated without any warning and out of character a few days ago. It turned out to be because of this.

After realizing this, the beautiful lady blushed instantly and tried to withdraw her hand which was held by someone else.

He was in a panic, covering his red face with his hands, as if he was too embarrassed to face anyone.

Seeing her like this, I thought my wife was deliberately distancing herself from me.

Zheng Peizhi's face was gloomy the moment before, but the next second the smile lines on the corners of his mouth could not be controlled and the curves became bigger and bigger.

There was no one else by the lake, and all the maids and servants who served her were sent far away by the man to wait at any time.

In the summer, the lakeside is shaded by weeping willows, and a gentle breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and plants in the distance.

The tall man had a happy smile on his face, with his hands behind his back, looking at the shy little woman who covered her face with her hands.

I don't know how long I looked at her touching expression, and after a while, it seemed like I had laughed enough.

He lowered his head and leaned forward, his thin lips rubbing intimately against the woman's ear, and in a low, hoarse voice, he whispered something.

The bright red color on the woman's fair and transparent neck became even more intense, and even gradually spread to her ears.

She was overwhelmed and threw away her handkerchief, gently brushing it across the man's face.

In anger, she glared at the man next to her, ignored him, and turned and ran away.

The man standing on the roadside was not angry even though he was abandoned. He smiled dotingly and immediately chased after her in two steps.

The tall figure stepped forward, covering the woman's figure, holding the woman's hand, and the two walked side by side.

At first, the woman pretended to shake it off twice, but when she couldn't, she gave in to him.

The two of them laughed and joked for a while, then strolled along the lake before heading home.

In summer, the days are longer, and the time for dinner is no different from that in spring.

So we had dinner while the sky was still bright.

After Qingxue finished her meal, she took the tea handed to her by the maid and rinsed her mouth.

The little girl covered the teacup and was about to chat with her mother about family matters.

For example, have you made peace with your uncle recently? How was your trip to the lake today?

Before asking, Qingxue couldn't help but look at her mother carefully when her eyes met her mother's absent-minded expression.

I just felt that my mother was very different today. She looked more charming and elegant than usual, and she looked even more seductive and charming.

Could this be all thanks to my uncle?

Seeing her mother's rosy complexion and fair and smooth skin, the little girl thought she knew the result without asking.

Needless to say, Qingxue didn't know what happened not long after she said goodbye to her mother and left.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for someone.

Next to Yu'er, the old butler stood behind the Duke with a bitter face, and many servants gathered behind him.

Looking closely, without exception, these servants were holding trays in their hands.

On the tray were sets of exquisitely crafted men's robes and long shirts.

Not far in front of them, the Duke was looking at himself in a mirror as tall as a person over and over again.

Unsure, he turned around and asked again and again.

"How about this one?"

The man who turned around was tall and slender, with a proud and upright posture that made him look good in anything he wore.

What's more, the gorgeous clothes she wore were the icing on the cake.

But the man who received repeated compliments turned back with dissatisfaction, taking pictures again and again, looking again and again.

The old housekeeper was so frustrated that he felt hopeless. Zheng Peizhi took off his long gown and robe without getting tired of it.

He turned around and called the servant in the room, handed him another set of clothes, and started trying them on again.

I kept trying until night fell and the lights in the dim room were turned on.

The man was so engrossed in trying on clothes that he would have been in trouble if the housekeeper hadn't stepped forward to remind him that time was almost up.

Zheng Peizhi didn't know when to dress up.

After hearing the reminder, he quickly turned his head to look at the sky outside the window.

It was late at night and the hazy moonlight was shining in.

Seeing that he was going to delay the appointment, Zheng Peizhi slapped his useless head on the spot.

The housekeeper had dead eyes, but when he saw that he stopped dawdling, he put on a shiny brocade robe and a flirty coat over it.

With a jade belt around his waist and long boots on his feet, everyone present couldn't help but secretly sigh, what a charming and handsome man he is.

The man still felt it was not enough, so he looked at himself in the mirror for a while and then hung the jade pendant around his waist.

Only then did everyone see that the master had been busy for a long time and finally nodded with satisfaction in front of the mirror.

Everyone was delighted. Zheng Peizhi picked up the folding fan that he carried with him all the time and walked out the door swayingly.

All the way she was like a peacock spreading its tail, coquettish and beautiful.

The housekeeper escorted the man to the door, and saw him turn a corner and walk into the next room as if he were familiar with the way.

The old butler couldn't bear to look at it, so he turned his eyes away, stood in front of the door of a few steps, and looked at the moon above his head.

The moon was bright and flawless, which was obviously not suitable for the man who was going to have a secret meeting at this moment.
