Chapter 693 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 48
"If possible, let's be husband and wife in public, while I'll still be your advisor in private."
Her idea was to preserve loyalty.
The man's expression gradually turned cold as Song Jinhuan spoke. He suddenly walked up to her, snatched the small paper packet away, and said with displeasure, "Don't eat it."
Song Jinhuan, puzzled, looked at the small paper package and said with a rather aggrieved expression, "What's wrong with you?!"
Xu Qingyuan picked up the medicine bowl without a word and left, his quick departure revealing his displeasure.
Song Jinhuan asked, puzzled, "Sanjin, what's wrong with him?"
Sanjin: "Maybe it hurt your pride, making you think you didn't want to be a real couple with him."
Song Jinhuan: "Isn't it because he doesn't want to?"
Sanjin Laoshen said calmly, "Some people only allow themselves to refuse others, but cannot accept being refused."
Song Jinhuan seemed to be thinking, "You mean, my idea was good, but the mistake was that it shouldn't have come from me, and he should have said it?"
Sanjin: "Host is awesome!"
In the original storyline, Xu Qingyuan was alone in his previous life.
Song Jinhuan: "He probably really doesn't want to, because he has someone he loves."
Sanjin: "Moreover, the Emperor has also bestowed a marriage upon you, so his beloved is destined not to become his legal wife."
Therefore, he was destined not to be able to live happily ever after with his beloved.
Song Jinhuan felt deeply sorry for her: "How pitiful!"
She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and fell asleep while chatting with Sanjin.
That night, the image of the girl crying for help in terror in the water kept replaying in Xu Qingyuan's mind.
He stared at the bed curtains, unable to fall asleep.
Gradually, her eyes reddened.
He originally intended to use his own abilities to subtly make the other party get used to his presence.
Once he was absolutely certain, he used a scheme to expose her true gender and then revealed his feelings.
But now, everything has been ruined by an arranged marriage!
She was simply not ready to accept him as her husband!
It's too early to say anything.
Tears welled up in the man's eyes, and with a gentle blink, they rolled down from the corners of his eyes, past his temples, and into his hair.
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
His tightly pursed thin lips revealed intense grievance and dissatisfaction.
All of this is because of Princess Fude!
...
The following day, Song Jinhuan did not see Xu Qingyuan all day.
For three days in a row, I didn't see anyone.
Song Jinhuan then realized that the other party was truly furious.
That day, she stopped the butler and asked, "When will the master return?"
The steward said, "My lord has been shuttling between the prison and the palace these past few days. He only rests for an hour or two when he returns before rushing off again."
Song Jinhuan immediately realized she was overthinking things; the other party was simply too busy with official duties to pay attention to her.
There's absolutely no need to worry!
Song Jinhuan's appetite was immediately whetted, and she went to the kitchen to order several dishes.
Xu Qingyuan was indeed extremely busy, as the case of Governor Lin was nearing its end.
As he expected, the emperor merely exiled a group of disgraced officials.
It is likely related to the maternal clan of Consort Qin.
This was not the outcome he wanted to see.
The night before Prefect Lu and others were to be exiled, they committed suicide together in prison.
The incident was too suspicious, so the Emperor specially dispatched Xu Qingyuan to investigate the truth.
Within three days, Xu Qingyuan submitted the investigation results.
The emperor skimmed through the text and finally sneered, "How absurd! They would actually do it because they couldn't bear the suffering of exile."
As long as there is still a breath left, there is a chance to change one's fate.
These people don't even cherish their extra life.
It's better that they died; it saves us the trouble of having a whole group of people escort them on their way.
