Governor's Office.

The house was full of guests, some giving gifts, some trying to please, some fawning... The front yard was very lively, but the backyard, where the new house was located, was much quieter.

Since the engagement ceremony, wedding preparations, and wedding banquets were all held on the same day, by the time the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, it was already night.

Decorate the new house festively.

Qin Ye had just sat down and was about to get up when someone came to the door:

"Greetings, His Excellency the Governor."

The sound of salute.

Footsteps.

The sound of a door opening.

A young man in his late twenties walked in, dressed in a wedding suit, with healthy wheat-colored skin and a tall stature. He was the Governor of Southern Hunan, a corrupt official who was considered cruel, violent and ruthless by the public.

The man pushed the door edge with both hands, his eager eyes falling on the slender figure in front of the bed.

He wanted to go forward, but stopped.

I wanted to speak, but I held it back.

He looked helpless and cautious, just like an inexperienced boy who was just beginning to learn emotions.

"Sir, please come in quickly." At the door, the old woman laughed and joked, "It's so hard to marry a new daughter-in-law, why is she so reserved when she comes to this place?"

The old woman teased with a smile.

The man blushed, quickly brushed his sleeves and walked in.

Close the door with your backhand.

"Bing, Bing'er..." He stopped five steps in front of the bed, his voice sounding a little stuttering.

Under the red veil, Qin Ye lowered his eyes and saw the man's red clothes and a pair of exquisitely crafted black boots. However, when he heard the man speak, why did he sense a hint of nervousness?

That's right.

It's nervous.

How could a person who was rumored to be cruel and violent actually get nervous?

Qin Ye frowned, vaguely realizing that something was wrong.

"Bing'er, you are finally willing to marry me. Don't worry, I will only marry you in this life and give you everything you want, love, loyalty, and devotion..."

The man looked deeply at the bride, his eyes full of tenderness:

"I will give you everything I can, Bing'er. As long as you smile, it will be the greatest success of my life."

Qin Ye: “???”

The man's tone of voice, his emotions, didn't sound fake.

Doesn’t he want to force Miss Li to marry him?

Isn’t he a corrupt official who kills and tortures people for fun?

Could a corrupt official be so affectionate?

After the man finished speaking, he saw that the bride had not moved, so he hurriedly asked: "Bing'er, why don't you say anything? Did I make you unhappy in some way? Tell me, and I will change it immediately."

Qin Ye's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter.

wrong!

This is clearly a deeply affectionate man!

"Bing'er..." He stepped forward hesitantly, "Can you...take off your veil and look at me when you talk? Let me know your emotions and needs. If you don't want to see me, I...I'll leave..."

The way he treated it carefully was as if he was treating a treasure that was hard to come by.

He didn't say a single harsh word, and wouldn't even force anything on the wedding night. His cautious tone actually had a hint of humility.

The man turned around and was about to leave.

Qin Ye frowned and reached out to lift the veil.

At this moment, a panicked cry suddenly sounded outside:

"Oh no! There's a fire!"

"Someone come and put out the fire!"

Governor Han was startled at first, then he strode out and opened the door. In the courtyard not far away, a dazzling firelight came into view.

A raging fire!

The yards are connected to each other and will soon burn here.

His first reaction was not to order anyone to put out the fire or investigate the cause, but to return to the bridal chamber as quickly as possible and grab the bride's hand:

"Someone, protect the lady!"
