When He Zheng came back, Xie Qingyao showed him those amazing things.
He Zheng seemed to be uninterested, only paying attention to Xie Qingyao's lively eyebrows and crystal-clear skin.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Are you listening to me?" Xie Qingyao waved her hand in front of his eyes.
He Zheng responded: "Yeah."
He lowered his gaze and continued, "Are you going to Runan with your father-in-law?"
Xie Qingyao nodded, "Well, my mother's grave is going to be moved and buried in the Xie family cemetery, I should go and see it.
"Besides, I've never been to Runan, and my father wants me to meet my grandparents."
When the Xie family's master and mistress learned that Xie Linqian actually had a biological daughter and a granddaughter, the two old people clamored to come to Beijing.
It’s just that the old man is too old to be suitable for long-distance bumpy rides.
And Xie's uncles, aunts, cousins, and brothers and sisters were all very curious about her.
After much deliberation, Xie Qingyao decided to follow his father back to Runan.
He Zheng did not object. In fact, he never refused anything Xie Qingyao wanted to do.
He Zheng sat beside her, his eyes darkening as he suddenly spoke, "There will be dangers along the way."
"You are the bond between the Xie family and the Anguo Marquisate. Countless people behind the scenes are unhappy to see the two families unite, and they will do everything they can to sever this bond."
The air pressure around He Zheng suddenly dropped, and his tone became a little cold.
Xie Qingyao was not surprised at all.
She stretched out her scallion-white hand, placed it on the back of He Zheng's hand, stared at him and said, "I know, so I have to be prepared just in case."
Her eyes were smiling, as if they would never be shrouded in gloom, and they were brighter than spring.
She is always so optimistic and determined.
He Zheng didn't say anything.
The room was a little too quiet for a moment.
After a moment, his eyes moved slightly, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
"If you hadn't married me, you wouldn't have been subjected to these fears and put in danger."
Xie Qingyao frowned: "My Lord, what you said is not right."
"How can marrying a marquis be a grievance?"
Her expression was serious.
"If I hadn't chosen the Marquis, I would have no chance of survival and would have become a ghost long ago."
"Old Madam Jiang dislikes me extremely, and the Xu family also wants to torture me in every possible way. My only value to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion is the marriage contract with the Marquis' Mansion."
"If I don't choose the Crown Prince, they won't let me cancel the engagement. I can only choose someone else. No one else in the Marquis' Mansion can protect me. The Marquis is the best choice."
Although Marquis Anguo was mostly just a tablet in the eyes of everyone at that time, he was still better than other juniors!
Xie Qingyao would rather spend her whole life guarding the memorial tablet than live a life of being oppressed by others.
She made the right bet.
She never regretted her choice.
"I have never regretted marrying the Marquis."
Xie Qingyao's voice was very soft, but every word she spoke was very firm.
He Zheng was stunned for a moment.
His breathing suddenly became heavy, probably because he didn't expect her to confess her feelings so sincerely.
The voice is soft and sweet, more moving than any heavenly music in the world.
Without warning, He Zheng's slightly calloused fingertips touched her cheek.
"Yaoyao's words are always pleasant to the ears."
"That's right, I speak very nicely." Xie Qingyao curved her eyes, tilted her head and rested it in his palm.
"Besides, the Marquis once jumped into the icy lake to save me. I don't feel wronged at all to be with my savior."
He Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the palm of his hand that was supporting her head gradually became hot.
"Yaoyao also saved me."
"……Um?"
"When did I ever save the Marquis? How come I don't know how powerful I am?"
Xie Qingyao's eyes sparkled, and she immediately grabbed his hand, saying excitedly, "Tell me quickly."
He Zheng then said, "When I faked my death, I was working for His Majesty. I was supposed to go to Lintai County, but I didn't go. Later, I learned that the Yellow River flooded the entire county, and countless people drowned."
The flood was so severe that very few people survived.
He Zheng's face was as calm as water.
Xie Qingyao was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"
He Zheng whispered, "It was because of Yaoyao... You were in a difficult situation at that time. In order to rush back to protect you and prevent others from bullying you, I changed my schedule."
“…”
Xie Qingyao opened her almond-shaped eyes wide in surprise.
The heartbeat in my chest began to pound uncontrollably at his words.
It was for her?
Did he care about her so early?
She never knew.
"thump!"
"thump!"
"thump!"
Xie Qingyao's face flushed, she held her breath, and she looked like she was about to melt.
"You, why didn't you say it before..."
Seeing her surprised and helpless expression, it seemed like she couldn't even breathe smoothly.
Kind of cute.
He Zheng opened his mouth again, "Yaoyao is my lucky star."
Xie Qingyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she blushed a little at the compliment.
I thought to myself that I was actually a lucky star in the Marquis’ heart!
After a while, she asked curiously, "Why did my father-in-law designate me to be engaged to the Marquis's family? I was only six years old at that time."
Xie Qingyao was hoping to hear the answer from He Zheng, but He Zheng said, "I don't know either, and my mother doesn't know either."
“…”
"In other words, only my father-in-law knows about this?"
He Zheng paused and said, "Before the engagement, my father met Master Jingkong, so maybe that's related."
Xie Qingyao smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Master Jingkong when I get a chance."
He Zheng met her gaze and said, "Okay."
Xie Qingyao stood up and took out a jar from the drawer. "This is a newly prepared tranquilizing tea. When I leave for Runan, the Marquis may need it."
