Chapter 54 Will You Marry Me?
Qin Mingzhu stared at the man beside her in a daze.
If it were someone else, she would definitely think that this person was just saying sweet words.
However, Yan Fengxiao is different.
Because he did exactly that in his previous life.
She suddenly recalled everything about her previous life.
During the ten years she lived in the Marquis' Mansion, many of the difficulties she encountered seemed to be resolved smoothly.
Whatever she wants to do, she will succeed in the end.
For example, Yan Yunrui's success as the top scholar and Yan Yunyue's marriage into a wealthy family were all due to the implicit support of others.
At first she thought that all this was due to their own efforts.
Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but laugh.
Although she had found the best masters in the capital for them in her previous life, among so many talented candidates, Yan Yunrui's knowledge was not bad, but not necessarily the best.
If Yan Qinghao had not suddenly returned with a woman and killed her abruptly, she would have lived a smooth life in her previous life.
Qin Mingzhu sighed in her heart.
Because she initially blamed him for hiding the fact that she had a biological son, which led to her newborn baby being stolen in her previous life.
So she felt a little resentful, thinking that Yan Fengxiao was an irresponsible father.
But think about it, her biological child has always been with her, nothing really happened to him, and Qin Mingzhu had forgiven him for this a long time ago.
As for the accident on the wedding night...
The matter has already been settled, there is no point in arguing about it anymore.
There are some things she should say.
She raised her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a sparkling light in her eyes. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she was smiling.
"You, the governor, said this, and you can't go back on your word."
Yan Fengxiao nodded gently: "No regrets."
"The child in my belly cannot be without a father. Is the governor willing to marry a second wife?"
Yan Fengxiao's pupils shrank slightly.
His lips moved, and his voice deepened: "I will definitely marry you in a formal ceremony, with eight bearers in a grand sedan chair."
Mrs. Qin listened, picked up her handkerchief and covered her lips with it, saying, "Ahem, your father and I have both agreed to this marriage. Now that you've thought about your future, I'm relieved."
Anyway, Yan Qinghao is dead on the surface.
Why should her daughter remain a widow for the other party?
Mrs. Qin is open-minded, and Yan Fengxiao is obviously a more suitable son-in-law.
She and the general were not the kind of conservative parents. She would only agree to the marriage if her daughter nodded.
After what happened today, the only remaining barrier in Qin Mingzhu's heart disappeared.
She suddenly lowered her eyes and gritted her teeth, thinking of something.
Qin Mingzhu grabbed Yan Fengxiao's wrist and walked straight to the big bed in her room.
Yan Fengxiao was pulled to the bedside by Qin Mingzhu. He saw her rummaging through the secret compartment at the head of the bed and then took out a booklet.
"Since the governor wants to marry me, he must provide some betrothal gifts."
She raised her head and looked into his eyes deeply.
As long as Yan Fengxiao opens this account book, they will be completely tied to the same boat.
It's like jumping into the fire pit with her.
Qin Mingzhu originally did not intend to hand over the account book to Yan Fengxiao, but only planned to investigate it quietly on her own. However, in that way, she didn't know when she would be able to find the real murderer who killed her father.
With Yan Fengxiao's status and position, it would be much easier for him to investigate this matter.
Yan Fengxiao was about to open it when a white hand pressed the cover.
Qin Mingzhu said word by word, "Commander-in-Chief, if you read the contents of this booklet, you will inevitably be in danger, and may even risk your life..."
Yan Fengxiao looked normal.
He gently pulled Qin Mingzhu's fingers apart and opened the account book without hesitation.
He has already said that he will give his life to her, so he will not go back on his word.
Yan Fengxiao looked through the account book carefully.
Qin Mingzhu had been observing his expression, but found that the situation she was worried about did not occur.
After all, he was a man who had seen many storms, so Yan Fengxiao put the account book away.
"This involves the royal family, but don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
He thought about it and seemed to feel that just saying this was not enough to convince people.
Yan Fengxiao took out a secret letter from his arms and placed it in Qin Mingzhu's hand.
"I have already investigated Yan Qinghao's situation. I will definitely bring him back to justice from Northern Frontier Country within a month."
Qin Mingzhu was obviously stunned when she heard him say this.
She hurriedly tore open the envelope, and her fingers trembled as she unfolded the secret letter.
The secret letter indeed clearly stated Yan Qinghao's current hiding place, as well as all of his whereabouts since his disappearance.
As she watched, Qin Mingzhu's mood became extremely happy and she couldn't help laughing.
Her smile was quite cheerful, and when she raised her eyes to look at Yan Fengxiao, her eyes were dark and bright, like gems.
"Thank you, Governor."
She held the secret letter carefully.
I even don't want to return it.
Seeing this, Yan Fengxiao had no intention of taking the secret letter back. Instead, he continued, "I've almost recovered all the debts from the other account book you gave me before."
"What?"
More than ten days had passed since the incident, and Qin Mingzhu almost forgot about it.
Yan Fengxiao chuckled when he saw her rare confused look.
"A total of 500,000 taels of silver must be returned, but it has been temporarily loaned to the Second Prince. Next month, I should be able to get 600,000 taels back."
Qin Mingzhu was really shocked this time.
She counted on her fingers.
"It's only been a few days..."
When she gave the account book away, she never thought that Yan Fengxiao would really get it back.
After all, doing this kind of thing is very offensive.
There is even the possibility of denial.
However, Yan Fengxiao was able to recover all the debts in a short period of time, which was already a miracle!
Yan Fengxiao said calmly, "Paying back a debt is only natural."
It was a bit troublesome, but the amount owed by each family was actually not that much. There was no need for those people to fall out with him, the emperor's favorite, for such a small amount of silver.
As for those with larger amounts, he visited them in person.
After some friendly communication, the other party politely prepared the silver and sent him out.
Qin Mingzhu quickly said, "I promised the governor at the time that as long as he could get the silver back, it would all belong to him..."
Yan Fengxiao pondered for a moment.
"That will be part of the betrothal gift."
The other party's words were so blunt that even Qin Mingzhu's heart beat faster.
Madam Qin glanced at the two people inside. Although something happened in the Marquis' Mansion and not many people were paying attention to this place, it was not a good idea to stay in the house all the time.
"Something happened with Madam Yan. Mingzhu, do you want to go back home with mother now?"
When Qin Mingzhu heard this, a dark light flashed in her eyes.
"Mother, I have decided to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for the time being."
Yan Fengxiao narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Madam Yan is seriously ill, so I should move back to the Marquis' Mansion."
