Chapter Sixty-Three: What could he possibly need her to do in the middle of the night?

Shen Qingnian's heart, which had just been at ease, rose into her throat again.

Xie Yanzhi frowned. What engaged girl? He had never been engaged.

If there is any, it's only in his dream, but how could Hua Momo know that?

"What girl?" Xie Yanzhi pretended to be serious, thinking she was just playing along.

"The marriage your master arranged for you is right next to our Yang family. What was the master's surname again?"

Hua Momo touched her head and began to think seriously.

Shen Qingnian remembered that her mother had mentioned that her best friend was named Yang Huixin, and that the two families had a very good relationship since her maternal grandfather's generation.

Since both families' maternal grandfathers only had one daughter, and they couldn't become in-laws, they arranged a marriage between her and Xie Yanzhi.

She originally thought that apart from Ling'er, her mother, and herself, no one else knew about this.

Surprisingly, the person in front of me also remembered this incident.

Hua Momo muttered to herself as she pondered, "Melon seed candy, that young lady loves to eat melon seed candy."

When Shen Qingnian heard about the melon seeds and candy, she took a closer look at the girl.

She finally remembered that when her mother took her back to her maternal grandparents' house, she had met a little girl who would give her a pine nut candy if she called her name.

But isn't that called "fa meme"?

Shen Qingnian asked Yuan Qing in a low voice, "What's this lady's surname?"

“This girl’s surname is Hua, we all call her Hua Momo,” Yuan Qing replied.

Flower kiss, send kiss.

Shen Qingnian pondered for a moment. At that time, she was only eight or nine months old and just learning to speak. Could it be that she called her by the wrong name?

"Your little wife used to love calling me 'momo' all the time. Her voice was so soft and sweet."

As Hua Momo spoke of these things, a smile appeared in her eyes, making her seem even more kind.

Xie Yanzhi assumed she couldn't remember things and was just making it up, so he didn't care at all and just looked at her indifferently.

"Hua Momo, what's your wife's name? What does she look like?" Hua Momo's detailed explanation piqued Yuan Qing's curiosity.

He had been with his master for so long, and he had never heard of his master having been betrothed since childhood.

"What's your name? What do you look like?" Hua Momo murmured, as if deep in thought.

Ling'er, standing behind Shen Qingnian, secretly gripped the hem of her clothes.

She stared at Hua Momo nervously, and when she saw that Hua Momo seemed about to open her mouth, she held her breath in tension.

She was afraid that she would say Shen Qingnian's name.

"What should I call you? Call me..." Hua Momo continued to mutter to herself.

Shen Qingnian always felt that this Hua Momo was a bit strange. She seemed to remember her, but she also seemed not to.

But what if she happens to remember her name? She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xie Yanzhi picked up the teacup next to him and brought it to his lips, not caring whether Hua Momo could remember or not, since he had never been engaged.

Hua Momo loves to make a fuss, so let her be.

However, when he glanced at Shen Qingnian and saw her serious expression, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

She seemed to care quite a bit about whether he was engaged or not!

Yuan Qing looked at Hua Momo for a long time without saying anything, and had given up hope.

Well, I knew perfectly well that Hua Momo had no memory, yet I still believed what she said.

I can only blame myself for being stupid.

“It’s her…” Hua Momo suddenly spoke up, raising her hand to point to Shen Qingnian beside her.

Hearing the voice, Xie Yanzhi looked in the direction Hua Momo was pointing and found that Hua Momo was pointing at Shen Qingnian.

What a coincidence! Xie Yanzhi stared at Shen Qingnian, then continued drinking his tea.

He was just about to take her as a concubine, and Hua Momo said that she was the young lady he was betrothed to.

Shen Qingnian stood rooted to the spot, her face pale.

She turned her head slightly and saw a hint of mockery in Xie Yanzhi's eyes as he looked at her.

It was as if he already knew everything, and was just watching how she deceived him.

Shen Qingnian clenched her fingers.

I wonder how Xie Yanzhi will punish her if he finds out she's lying to him.

"Her?" Everyone was shocked.

Yuan Qing's eyes widened in surprise.

He never imagined that his grandfather would have a marriage since childhood, and that the person he was betrothed to was Miss Qing!

Ling'er covered her mouth, afraid that she would panic and make a sound, thus betraying her mistress.

"Hua Momo, is it really Miss Qing?" Yuan Qing spoke again, still unable to suppress his surprise.

"Yes...like her, with big, round eyes, just as beautiful as her."

Hua Momo said this again with a smile.

"Hey, I knew it was going to be such a coincidence."

Yuan Qing couldn't help but give an awkward laugh.

He felt Hua Momo's magic once again.

Shen Qingnian relaxed and smiled sweetly at Hua Momo.

"Oh dear!" Hua Momo suddenly exclaimed.

"I forgot to pick up the young lady from school." She turned to leave, and the maid beside her quickly reached out to help her walk out the door.

Shen Qingnian was a little puzzled. Yuan Qing said, "Miss Qing, Hua Momo is getting old and often doesn't know what time it is. Sometimes she is a little silly."

No wonder!

Did Xie Yanzhi believe Hua Momo's words?

Shen Qingnian sat down on the chair next to her and asked softly, "Cousin, do you really have a marriage proposal?"

Xie Yanzhi raised his eyelids slightly. Apart from dreaming about his marriage in his dreams, he had never heard anyone mention that he was married in recent years.

"have."

Upon hearing this reply, Shen Qingnian opened her eyes wide and glanced at Xie Yanzhi.

"Is our relationship not considered a marriage?"

Seeing Shen Qingnian's surprised expression, Xie Yanzhi assumed she was jealous and decided to tease her.

Shen Qingnian was annoyed by Xie Yan's constant teasing, but she was also helpless.

Whenever she was seriously exploring something, he would tease her like this, making her feel embarrassed and anxious.

Shen Qingnian pursed her lips, took a sip of tea, and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Cousin, who were those men in black today?"

She didn't know who was so bold as to attempt to assassinate the prince in the street, and almost harm her and Ling'er.

“An old rival. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.” Xie Yanzhi’s eyes flashed with cold light.

Lu Yuanzhang is courting death!

Since he's so eager to come to me, I can kill him even without the ledger.

"You should stay home as much as possible during this period."

But she still needs to pick up her travel permit tomorrow.

"Let's go back to the manor," Xie Yanzhi's voice came again.

As they left Chunchang Garden, Shen Qingnian glanced at Hua Momo's room.

She called out in her heart, "Send a kiss."

I hope she never thinks of the girl who gave her melon seeds and candy.

As the sun sets, a full moon quietly climbs to the treetops.

Inside the Jingnan Marquis's residence, in the Qianyue Residence.

Shen Qingnian entered the room and closed the door. When she turned around, she was startled to see Xie Yanzhi sitting on the bed.

"You...cousin, what brings you here?"

He's injured, yet he still won't stop. What's he doing coming to see her at night?

Xie Yanzhi stared straight at her, his thin lips slightly parted: "There's something I need you to do."

"What is it?" Shen Qingnian asked softly.

Xie Yanzhi didn't speak, but just looked at her with sharp eyes.

At this moment, Shen Qingnian had just finished washing up and was only wearing a thin undergarment.

When she saw Xie Yanzhi looking at her, her heart skipped a beat.

What could he possibly need her to do in the middle of the night?

As her mind raced, she saw Xie Yanzhi taking off his outer robe.

She suddenly remembered something, her face flushed slightly, and her fingertips curled up slightly.

Is what he asked her to do what she wanted?
