Chapter 537 Young Marshal Huo's Little Mute 28
These remarks were incredibly domineering, but considering his power and military strength, he certainly didn't need to be subservient to anyone.
And if his fiancée is submissive and bullied during diplomatic exchanges, wouldn't Huo Ze be the one who loses face?
With Huo Ze's assurance, Song Jinhuan felt completely at ease.
...
Lu Xiangling was in so much pain that she was covered in cold sweat and looked like she was about to faint at any moment.
She did nothing wrong, yet she was shot for no reason, which made her furious.
The housekeeper took her to the hospital, where the bullet was removed, but she was still in a semi-comatose state.
Butler: "How is it?"
Doctor: "It's nothing serious, just take good care of yourself."
The housekeeper went to pay the bill, and when he returned, Lu Xiangling had already slowly woken up.
Before she could voice her grievances, the butler said, "The young marshal is usually very vigilant, and since you appeared suddenly, it was only because you were accidentally injured."
"Here are fifty silver dollars. Take them and let this matter rest."
The housekeeper suspected she had ulterior motives, so he didn't offer any of the usual comforting words.
It can be solved with money.
He doesn't need to win people's hearts, which saves him trouble.
Fifty silver dollars was equivalent to a year's wages for an ordinary clerk in some shops.
Some employees don't even earn this much money in a year.
Lu Xiangling didn't want to make a big fuss, and now that she had such a large sum of money, she suddenly felt that taking the bullet was worth it.
That must have left a deep impression on Hozer.
"Thank you, butler... Is this the young marshal's intention?"
The butler remained expressionless and said with a smile, "Young Marshal, you have entrusted all these matters to me."
He then countered with, "Was it handled improperly? You don't accept it?"
Lu Xiangling's heart pounded. "No, no!"
"I'm afraid I'll need to recuperate for a while, and I'm quite worried..."
The butler continued with a smile, "Don't worry, there's a reason for this, you won't have your wages deducted."
Lu Xiangling seemed genuinely relieved and smiled, saying, "Thank you, housekeeper."
The moment the housekeeper stepped out of the ward, the smile on his face vanished completely.
He muttered "Serves him right" to himself as he looked at the door, then strode away.
The next day, Song Jinhuan met the matchmaker and a fortune teller.
With the engagement letter, gift certificate, and wedding invitation all in hand, the rest of the procedures were completed quickly.
The fortune teller took the two people's birth dates and began to calculate their horoscopes, then selected an auspicious day.
The whole process took only one morning.
The butler went out to see the guests off.
Only Song Jinhuan and Huo Ze remained in the hall, facing each other.
[Not true.]
It feels like a dream.
“I will have a reputable newspaper announce that this is absolutely true.” Hozer’s tense heart relaxed slightly.
After the auspicious date was chosen, he became uneasy.
Perhaps it's because of the change in identity.
Regardless, his marriage to the mute girl will be reported in the newspaper.
Everyone will know they are getting married then.
It's the first time in my life I'm going to feel like a wife, it's so damn weird.
Excited yet apprehensive.
I felt tense and uneasy.
He clutched his chest; it was beating very fast.
My blood was boiling, I couldn't stay still.
More importantly, the more I looked at the little mute girl, the more attractive she became.
His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he couldn't stand it any longer. He said hastily, "I'm going out for a bit."
Before Song Jinhuan could react, he strode away.
Not long after, he turned back, his dark eyes fixed on the girl, and instructed her, "Wait for me to come back."
Then, without giving Song Jinhuan a chance to respond, she turned around in a flash, her long legs becoming a blur.
Song Jinhuan frowned, and couldn't help but wonder, "Has he changed his mind?"
