Chapter 201 Marry Me Again
He lied to her when he said nothing would happen. He just thought that once they got married, he would never agree to let her go.
Yu Huatang was overwhelmed by what he said and didn't know how to refute him. In the end, he simply said, "What nonsense! You should have a good rest. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and ran out as if for his life.
Seeing her panicked back, Zhao Yan felt that this trip was worth it. His headache instantly disappeared and his illness was almost healed.
She didn't refuse directly but ran away, which meant that she was a little reluctant. It was a pity that he was leaving tomorrow, otherwise he would have continued to persuade her to agree.
As Yu Huatang walked out of the courtyard, his heart couldn't stop pounding.
He has to stay here for such a long time, but Lord Zhao is about to let him join the cabinet, so why is he here again...
If he came to her every day and said this every day, she didn't know what to do...
When she returned to the courtyard, she was still a little flustered, so she simply went back to the shop. She opened the door and sat by the door. At this time, the owner of the silk shop next door, Wang, asked her when to open the door, and he opened it too.
Yu Huatang said, "Now that the new pacification envoy has arrived, there shouldn't be any problems. I'll be open in two days."
Boss Wang said, "Since you said so, I will open it too. After all, you have a special relationship with the Pacifier, so you are well-informed." After he finished speaking, his smile was still a little ambiguous.
Yu Huatang understood. She had been to the capital not long ago, and he had sent her something in front of so many people. They were a divorced couple, so they were definitely connected together.
So what was he insisting on? He was saying he had nothing to do with Zhao Yan. No one would believe him.
Is she timid? She is not the seventeen-year-old herself anymore. She is afraid of repeating the same mistakes, but now she has money and property. Even if she loses, she can still stand up and nothing will happen to her.
As for reputation, she had already given it up when she was learning her craft. As for love, she said she had cut off all feelings, but others would not believe her. In their eyes, she was bound to be entangled with him.
So why bother?
The next day, Anfu came to ask her, saying that Zhao Yan looked even worse and asked her to go and see him quickly.
Yu Huatang couldn't understand. Didn't he sleep yesterday? Didn't the doctor tell him to have a good rest?
Could it be that he was disobedient and kept busy all night?
When she walked into the room, the person who was originally lying down was already sitting at the table waiting for her.
She turned around to look at Anfu, who hesitantly said, "...Master, Master asked you to come over..."
This means that Zhao Yan asked him to lie.
After Zhao Yan finished drinking the medicine, An Fu left. Before Yu Huatang could speak, Zhao Yan said, "Please don't make a fuss about it, considering I'm seriously ill."
Yu Huatang was helpless. She sat at the table and observed his complexion. It was better than yesterday, but still had an abnormal flush. She said, "You still have to listen to the doctor and take the medicine on time."
"Don't worry, I know." He looked over and said, "Well, what do you think? Do you agree with what I said yesterday? If you're still worried, we can write a document or something. You can do whatever you want. I won't interfere. On the contrary, all my wealth and property will be yours. If you want me to come into the room, I'll come in. If you don't want me to come in, I'll sleep here. How about that?"
Yu Huatang looked at him and said, "But will your family agree to this?"
Hearing her say this, he immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Of course I will agree. I'm almost thirty, and I'm a well-known bachelor in the capital. If they don't agree, my life will be like this. They originally wanted to help me arrange the marriage, but you didn't agree. Now that I've come here to do it myself, they will only be happy."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he tempted her again, "If you don't believe me, I'll write to them right away and ask them to come and propose marriage immediately. You have the final say on everything."
She was silent for a while, then said, "Before that, there is something I want to ask you."
Zhao Yan stared at her closely, feeling a little excited and a little afraid, afraid she might say something like "no." It was clear she didn't mean that. He was even more surprised, but he didn't dare to express it, fearing something might happen. He suppressed his emotion and said calmly, "Go ahead."
Yu Huatang looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Did you kill Ouyang Zui?"
Zhao Yan didn't expect her to ask this. He was a little disappointed and said, "Why do you care about this? It has nothing to do with you."
Yu Huatang said, "That day I met a servant beside him. He said that you beat Ouyang Zui in Huangque Tower, and later you sought out many traveling doctors and alchemists. I don't know what he told you, but I want to say that I ran into him on Yuanxiang Street at that time. He did have some other feelings for me, even a little frivolous, but that was all. After that, I sent my maid away. The next time we met was at Tianjing Pavilion. I don't know if he was making up stories, but I want to tell you that nothing happened between him and me."
"Also, as for the engagement and marriage you mentioned, I think I'm probably scared and don't know what to do. I mean, if we get married, I don't know what the future will be like. Maybe it will be good, maybe it won't be good. But, I..."
Hearing her concerns, Zhao Yan hugged her tightly and said, "Don't say that. I just want to be with you. Don't worry about other people or other things. You said you are afraid and panicked, so don't do anything. Wait for me, wait for me to do it."
After getting his answer, she was a little at a loss, "Then... then I'll go first." She got out of his arms in a panic. She was still a little unable to adapt to the current situation.
Zhao Yan hugged her again, "Does this mean you agree?"
"I don't know..." Yu Huatang lowered her head, then glanced at him quickly, "Let me think about it..."
Zhao Yan smiled. Seeing that she was wavering, he hugged her tightly and pecked her on the lips, tacitly acknowledging her agreement. "Okay, I'm really busy right now. I don't know when I'll be free next time. Take care of yourself. I'll come see you again when I have time."
"It's better to put the people first. I don't have anything to do here anyway. ... Anyway, you should put official business first." After saying this, she quickly pushed him away, turned around, opened the door and left.
Zhao Yan chased to the door and shouted, "Wait for me!"
Yu Huatang looked back at him, smiled, and turned away.
When she walked onto the street, Yu Huatang realized what she had agreed to. She stopped and looked up at the sky. It was gray, just like the day when she followed her cousin to the capital at the age of seventeen.
At that time, she was like a moth flying into a flame, ignorant and naive.
Now, after many years, she is about to turn 26, and when she makes this decision again, she thinks carefully and has thought of all the escape routes.
If there is still no good result, she is not afraid, because she can afford to lose now.
