Agree to get married
Liu Zai Xi was speechless. It was indeed the fact. What could she do? In the final analysis, she could do nothing. She had just left the Liu Mansion and her career had not yet started. She had no power and no money.
Qiu Wuji looked at Liu Zaixi silently, as if he could see through what she was thinking.
Everything seemed to be under Qiu Wuji's control. Liu Zaixi asked, "Does your previous promise still count?"
Qiu Wuji smiled. This world is cruel and the weak can only be eliminated.
"It counts."
Liu Zaixi took a deep breath and said, "I will marry you."
She wanted to marry Qiu Wuji, get close to Jin Manyue, gain power, and avenge Xiaozhu. If possible, she wanted to kill Qiu Wuji.
"good."

After coming out of Yinqiu Pavilion, Hanyi was waiting outside the yard.
"plz follow me."
Han Yi brought Liu Zaixi to a courtyard not far from Yin Qiu Pavilion, "Miss Liu, please rest here first."
Liu Zai Xi was exhausted, not just physically, but also spiritually.
"Xiaozhu and the others."
Han Yi clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, I will take the girl to meet them tomorrow morning."
Liu Zai Xi felt relieved and walked into the courtyard step by step, each step feeling particularly heavy.
Lying on the bed, Liu Zaixi recalled everything that happened with Qiu Wuji bit by bit. Qiu Wuji said that after marriage she was free and could do whatever she wanted and continue to run La Mo Haochi.
Liu Zai Xi didn't know what mood he was in, he was just very tired and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next morning, Liu Zai Xi was awakened by a rustling sound. He didn't know who was outside the door, but he could hear a very low voice.
Liu Zaixi stood up, opened the door, and opened his mouth: "Xiaobai..."
The two heard the noise and looked towards Liu Zai Xi. It was Han Yi and Liu Mubai.
Liu Mubai grabbed Liu Zaixi and carefully checked if he was injured. He saw last night that Liu Zaixi's hands were covered in blood.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt, but you and Xiaozhu are."
Han Yi explained: "I'm sorry, his injuries are not serious. He woke up this morning, but he refused to rest properly and insisted on staying with you. I wanted to persuade him to rest for a while longer."
Liu Zaixi nodded: "I do need to rest for a while, thank you."
Han Yi exchanged a few pleasantries and told Liu Zai Xi about Xiao Zhu's situation. He looked at Liu Mubai thoughtfully and then headed towards Yin Qiu Xie.
Qiu Wuji had just woken up. In fact, he had not had much rest the whole night. The things he asked Hanyi to investigate should have produced results.
Han Yi knocked on the door and came in. This was exactly what he did.
"Your Majesty."
Qiu Wuji propped his head up with his hands, leaned against the table and asked, "What happened?"
Han Yi began to report: "There is a result. Liu Mubai was bought by Miss Liu at the slave market half a month ago."
"I wonder if the prince still remembers Baishatang."
Qiu Wuji naturally knew it.
"It's a special organization that caters to the needs of the upper class and kills people for them. Liu Mubai's original name was Gu Zhou, and he was taken in by the leader of Bai Sha Tang. However, the truth is that the leader slaughtered Gu Zhou's entire family, leaving Liu Mubai behind as a murder weapon. After Bai Sha Tang was eliminated by the imperial court, he learned the truth and became devastated. He wouldn't resist being bullied, so he was picked up and sold into the slave market, where he happened to be taken in by Miss Liu."
"She's lucky."
Han Yi was stunned, then realized that Qiu Wuji was talking about Liu Zaixi.
Han Yi touched his nose. Was the prince pointing this at him? After all, in terms of strength, Liu Mubai might be stronger than him at his peak.
"Pack up and go to the palace."
"yes."

Led by the maid arranged by Han Yi, Liu Zai Xi and Liu Mubai came to the place where Xiao Zhu was placed.
When he went in, Xiaozhu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Liu Zaixi looked at the bandage wrapped around his abdomen and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
I walked up to her and touched Xiaozhu's head as usual. At this time, Xiaozhu would probably jump up and say, "Miss, don't touch me anymore, or you won't grow taller."
Today it was very quiet and no one was talking.
After a long time, Liu Zaixi said, "Xiaobai, I promised Qiu Wuji to marry him."
Liu Mubai's pupils shrank, he clenched his fists, and his body straightened.
"I must become strong, so strong that no one dares to attack you anymore. But I'm just borrowing Qiu Wuji's power, it doesn't mean that I like him."
Liu Mubai's clenched fists slowly loosened. After all, he was not strong enough to protect the two of them.
Perhaps noticing Liu Mubai's unusual emotions, Liu Zaixi comforted him, "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. In the final analysis, it was me who hurt you."
"Xiaobai, go and rest for a while. The sword wound on your body is not shallow."
As soon as Qiu Wuji entered the palace, he met Eunuch Li who was beside Qiu Sheng.
"What a coincidence that Prince Heng came down. The Emperor and Consort Hui are discussing your marriage in the Taiqing Palace."
Qiu Wuji immediately rushed towards the Taiqing Palace without stopping. If he was a step later, a Princess Heng might appear for him.
When we arrived at the main hall, Qiu Sheng was talking and laughing with Jiang Zhiyi.
"You came just in time. I was just about to discuss the concubine selection banquet with you."
"No need to discuss it, I have chosen someone, and we will get married on the first day of next month."
Qiu Sheng slammed the table and stood up: "What a dare you are!"
Before he could finish his words, Qiu Wuji said, "I'm not here to discuss this with you. I'm just here to inform you. Don't try to persuade me. I've made up my mind."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a casual manner. Once Qiu Wuji decided to go down a path, he would never look back.
The only people left in the hall were Qiu Sheng, who was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and Concubine Hui, who was gritting her teeth.
Jiang Zhiyi was extremely regretful at this time. She shouldn't have thought that Qiu Wuji was just an ordinary enemy. She should have intervened earlier so that she could control him.
After returning to Prince Heng's Mansion, Qiu Wuji went to find Liu Zaixi first, and he was in a hurry.
"Marry me on the first day of next month. I will arrange everything else. You can continue with your work at the store, but you must return to the palace at night. I will send someone to protect you."
When saying the last sentence, Liu Mubai felt that he was being provoked. Liu Mubai didn't like the palace, nor did he like Qiu Wuji. He just wanted to quietly guard the store with Liu Zaixi.
Liu Zaixi accepted Qiu Wuji's information and frowned: "Isn't it too fast? And your father..."
"Don't worry about these. Just run your store well and it's time to go back."
It was only after Qiu Wuji reminded him that Liu Zaixi remembered.
Inside the shop, Xiaojia, Xiaoyi, and some uncles named Panji were playing childish games. "By the way, where on earth is the boss? Why haven't we seen him all day?"
As soon as they finished talking, Liu Zaixi ran in breathlessly, "Sorry, I'm late."
Xiaojia and Xiaoyi saw Liu Zaixi coming and happily surrounded her.
It was almost sunset, and Liu Zaixi's first words stunned everyone: "I'm getting married in seven days, everyone come."
After these words were spoken, no one said anything. After a few seconds, Guo Hua, who was the most naughty, spoke up: "Hey, boss, you are so cold when you joke."
Until Liu Mubai spoke: "Really."
If Liu Zai Xi directly said that he was going to get married, no one might believe him. But who is this? This is Liu Mubai. If Liu Mubai said it was true, then it must be true.
Several people were a little confused and kept asking Liu Zaixi for confirmation: "Boss, are you serious? But congratulations first. Who is the other party?"
"King Heng Qiu has no boundaries."
Everyone expressed doubts except Xiaojia, who explained on behalf of Liu Zaixi.
"It's true. I heard Prince Heng say he wanted to marry Sister Liu that day. I heard it with my own ears."
Everyone was shocked at once: "No, no, is this true?"
"Flying onto a tree branch and turning into a phoenix, this is a good thing!"
"What's good about them? Do you think those dignitaries are good people?" said Zhang Jude, who had been silent all this time.
Liu Zaixi calmed everyone down and said, "Chef Zhang is right. Marrying him may not be a good thing. I just made this decision after weighing the pros and cons. No matter what, I am still your boss and I still have to work."
Xiao Yi, who is usually timid, stood up to support Liu Zaixi: "I support my sister's decision. She must have thought about it carefully. She will always be my good sister."
Liu Zai Xi held back the tears that were about to flow and felt that she had become more sentimental.
Pan Ji asked, "Why can't I see Zhu Yatou? Where is she?"
"Xiao Zhu is injured and is now in Prince Heng's mansion. I'm afraid someone has already held a grudge against me and wants to kill me. So it's very dangerous to follow me. Anyone who wants to leave can collect their monthly salary and leave at any time."
The air is silent, the dusk is endless, and my heart is desolate.
"The boss is in trouble, so there's no reason to just leave."
"That's right. Besides, you're a weak woman, you can't do without someone to protect you."
Everyone was talking to each other, but no one said that he wanted to leave. Liu Zai Xi carefully memorized everyone's face, and then showed his first smile since Xiao Zhu was injured.
"Thank you."
"Why are you being polite? Haha, we are all rough people."
No one worked today. Everyone sat around the table, chatting and laughing. It was not until the crescent moon rose that Liu Zai Xi hurriedly urged everyone to go home.
The opening of the business will be postponed until after marriage, before that, take a rest.
Liu Zai Xi packed up simply and moved to Prince Heng's Mansion with Xiao Zhu and Liu Mubai's things.
The carriage moved forward. It seemed particularly lively today. Passers-by gathered together and talked about something. Liu Zai Xi listened intently.
"I heard that Prince Heng is getting married soon. We don't know who the other party is yet, but I heard it's just an ordinary person."
"Oh my god, who can be appreciated by King Heng?"
"Do you think King Heng would be interested in me if I dressed up a bit?"
"Hahahahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Zai Xi didn't expect Qiu Wu Ji to spread the news so quickly, but he didn't reveal who she was, which was a good thing.
Liu Mubai sat in the carriage, listening to the sounds outside the carriage, feeling particularly unhappy.
Liu Zaixi can always tell when something is wrong with Liu Mubai at the first moment and then comfort him.
"Okay, Xiaobai, smile more. That way girls will like you. No girl would dare to approach you if you have a stern face all day long."
After listening to Liu Zaixi's words, Liu Mubai's expression eased a little.
