The next morning court session.
Liu Zhang simply took a leave of absence.
Firstly, there must be sensitive topics in the court today: the impeachment of the crown prince, the trial of Minister Liu, and the results of the trial of the murder of the crown prince and the kidnapping of the prince.
Secondly, he is obsessed with beauty.
Xu Wanrong sent someone to deliver a reply early in the morning, saying that she would go to talk to Ye Qingshan in the morning. Liu Zhang only replied that it had been arranged.
After giving all the instructions, Liu Zhang took the opportunity to spend some time with A Rao. The previous times he had done that were all by force, and she was also injured, so it was inevitable that he was not interested.
Although A Rao was not as enthusiastic as she was that day in the carriage, she was still trying her best to please and pretended to be non-resistant.
After all, he had to send her back to the Marquis' Mansion. Liu Zhang hugged her tightly and refused to let go. He didn't get up until almost noon.
He also drew eyebrows for his young wife and put flowers in her hair, and their behavior was as natural as a married couple.
"Miss Jiang Rao, I will come to the Marquis' Mansion soon to propose marriage and marry you." Liu Zhang gently lifted the hair that fell on her shoulders and straightened the osmanthus hairpin on her head.
"Lord Liu, why are you so determined to marry me?" A Rao's slightly childish face was full of confusion.
He had clearly already obtained her body, and he clearly deserved a more beautiful and noble lady, so why was he so obsessed with a maid like her?
Liu Zhang pursed his lips and said nothing. He was not very good at saying sweet words, but he knew clearly in his heart that he wanted to marry her and stay with her forever.
To this end, he planned all of this just to get rid of those who bullied and hurt A Rao.
All the servants in the Liu Mansion who had offended and beaten A Rao had their hands and feet broken and were sold off.
The reason why he did these things may have been out of sympathy at first, but later it evolved into an uncontrollable love.
Liu Zhang racked his brains to remove all obstacles, wanting strongly to win her heart.
"Miss Jiang Rao, don't worry. I promised you that I would protect your prince and I will definitely keep my promise.
I have already written to Madam Fu in the Southern Territory. I sincerely want to be with you, and I believe that Madam Fu is such a wise person that she would not force us to break up a couple."
Hearing this, A Rao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Oh, then if mother and madam agree, I have no objection."
"But I just want to know what you feel."
"I have no idea……"
After Liu Zhang and A Rao had lunch together, he asked someone to prepare a carriage and some gifts, and then reluctantly sent A Rao back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Just as he sent the person to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Lord Shen came back in a carriage. Seeing that Liu Zhang had sent A Rao back, he politely invited him to come in and sit down.
"My Lord, I came to the Marquis' Mansion today because I have a few things I would like to ask for your help."
"Liu Zhengqing, please feel free to speak."
Liu Zhang said respectfully and humbly, "Lord Shen, I'm here to discuss the matter of marriage with you. I'd also like to visit the Crown Princess and learn about the kidnapping case from her."
"What! Even you are here to ask to marry my Xu'er?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Shen stood up in surprise. When his little girl dressed up as a boy, everyone hated her, so why was she so popular now?
Without giving Liu Zhang any time to say anything, Lord Shen immediately refused three times: "No! You two are not suitable, I don't agree, please go back, goodbye."
"No, no, my lord, you misunderstood."
"Marrying into my wife's family is not... well, I can consider marrying into my wife's family, but my Xu'er has to like it."
Lord Shen looked at Liu Zhang suspiciously, but his own Xu'er had always been a man to the outside world, and he was obviously unaware of Uncle Ling's attitude yesterday.
Not many people should know that Xu'er is a girl.
Could it be that this Liu Zhengqing...
hiss--
Absolutely not!
Liu Zhang pondered his words and felt that he had not expressed himself clearly. He quickly stood up and explained, "My Lord, you have misunderstood. I wish to marry Miss Jiang Rao, the first-class guard of the Marquis' Mansion."
"That's not the case... Hey, you're going to marry something from the Marquis' Mansion, a first-class guard?" Lord Shen couldn't believe his ears. This was the third explosive news he had heard since returning to Beijing.
The eldest son and grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion is actually going to marry his family's guard?
Damn, can I still stay in Beijing?
"Yes."
He repeatedly confirmed: "Liu Zhengqing, are you serious? Marrying a wife? A legal wife?"
"Yes, my Lord, I have already discussed this with my father, and he agreed to marry her as his principal wife, not as a concubine."
"Are you sure she's a woman?"
"Ah?" Liu Zhang was stunned by his unreasonable question and replied respectfully, "Yes, it's Miss Jiang Rao."
Lord Shen originally had no good feelings towards the Liu family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he would often impeach each other with officials of the Liu family in the court. Normally, he would never agree if the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to marry someone from the Marquis' Mansion.
But when he saw that the son that Minister Liu was so proud of was respectfully asking him to help him and marry the guard in the Marquis's mansion as his wife, Lord Shen couldn't help but feel proud.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and almost laughed out loud. If this succeeded, then Minister Liu would have nothing to be proud of in the future.
But you still have to pretend.
He said solemnly, "Since Liu Zhengqing sincerely wishes to marry me, I cannot be unkind. I will make the decision for you. I will betroth that first-class guard to Liu Zhengqing. I hope you will cherish her and live in harmony with her."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your help!"
Lord Shen beckoned Butler Shen and asked quietly, "Who is Jiang Rao? Ask her to come out and meet Liu Zhengqing."
"It's Nanny Jiang's daughter."
