At night, Xia Ruqian secretly climbed onto Xia Ruzheng's bed.
"What? Can't sleep?"
Although it was midsummer, the nights in the countryside were still very cool. With the window half-open, the stars shone brightly outside, insects chirped, and if you were lucky, you could even see fireflies. In such a beautiful environment, Xia Ruzheng found it difficult to fall asleep.
Xia Ruqian was still a little uncomfortable and muttered, "It's been a long time since I slept with you."
In the past, Xia Ruzheng had a high opinion of herself, not working and rarely interacting with her family, acting as if she were superior. Xia Ruqian had never figured out the reason. It had been a long time since Xia Ruqian had slept in the same bed with her sister. It was once when she was a child, and Xia Ruzheng had screamed at her to have her own room, or at least her own bed. Ever since then, the two sisters had slept separately, without the shared blankets of other sisters, or the intimate nighttime whispers.
My sister is much better now, so Xia Ruqian came to try.
Xia Ruqian lay down on Xia Ruzheng's bed, and after a while she asked, "Sister, you can't tell Dad about Huang Zhong's affair, so that's it."
"certainly."
"Then do you have any solution?"
This is the key point, right?
Xia Ruzheng sighed softly and said, "There's no other way."
Xia Ruqian found it hard to believe. She always thought that her sister was like the queen of her own world, who could just give orders and do anything. She didn't expect that she would say that there was no way.
Xia Ruzheng spoke this way because he knew Huang Zhong well enough. Huang Zhong was a ruthless, dark man, and a master of disguise. Especially after entering officialdom, the experienced Huang Zhong had perfected his duplicity to perfection. He was not as formidable now as he was later.
Despite this, Huang Zhong was already very terrifying at this time.
"Sister, don't worry. There must be a way. At worst, you won't get married. I'll leave all my things to you. If you're worried that no one will take care of you when you're old, I'll ask my son to take care of you in the future."
After hearing this, Xia Ruzheng couldn't help laughing. Xia Ruqian was so angry that she hit her twice.
Still, Xia Ruzheng was deeply moved. Xia Ruqian had thought so much about her, even if it was somewhat inappropriate. In the countryside, in this era, not getting married was unacceptable. It wasn't just a matter for the girl herself, but also a matter for her family. It wasn't just the aunts and uncles who would urge her to marry; even the aunts and uncles from the surrounding area would gossip about her. Xia Ruzheng didn't want her family to be criticized because of her—her previous life was the biggest lesson.
At this time, Xia Ruqian's straightforward character had already been established, and since she was facing her own sister, it was understandable that she spoke without restraint.
Xia Ruzheng taught his sister a lesson and explained the reason to her.
Xia Ruqian said, "Then my sister has no choice but to get married."
Xia Ruzheng nodded and said, "Unless Huang Zhong takes this tactic out on someone else, I won't be able to avoid it."
There seems to be no girl around who is more suitable than Xia Ruzheng.
Xia Ruqian was silent, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister, do you have anyone you like? Dad and I will help you find a date."
Xia Ruzheng wanted to scold her again: "How can an unmarried girl go to a family to propose marriage? What will others think of you? What will they think of our family?"
Xia Ruqian stuck out her tongue and said, "Dad will go find someone to mediate, I'll help you check."
This sounds like a normal thing to say.
"Unfortunately, no!" Xia Ruzheng said frankly.
Xia Ruqian was naturally extremely disappointed.
Although their night talk did not make any progress, it was of great benefit to enhancing the sisterhood. The next day, the relationship between the two became much closer, and Xia Chunfu was also much happier when he saw it.
But the happy days didn't last long, and rumors spread outside that Xia Ruzheng was indeed having an affair with Huang Zhong, but he just stopped after playing around because he thought Huang Zhong was poor. Xia Ruqian was so angry that she jumped up.
"That little monkey! How dare he covet my sister? He's just wishful thinking! Get the hell out of here! He wants to marry my sister, but he won't get his turn in his entire life!"
It was the first time that Xia Ruzheng saw Xia Ruqian being so aggressive, and he was a little stunned at the time.
This was said by Xu Xianhua. Xia Ruqian was so angry that she forgot to restrain herself in front of Xu Xianhua. Xu Xianhua's face was extremely ugly. If she belittled Huang Zhong so low, then what was she, who liked Huang Zhong? Was she blind?
