The reason Zhao Qinghe had this question was because her experience of drugging Bai Hetang with each other made her constantly vigilant.
Bai Hetang, somewhat frightened by Zhao Qinghe's mention of lightning, glanced at the direction of the lightning and shook his head firmly, "There are no traps in this box, and certainly no poison."
Besides, with my poison skills, even riding a Ferghana horse, I couldn't catch up with you.
How could I possibly be showing off my limited skills in front of you?
Zhao Qinghe chuckled, "Oh, when did you become so humble? I seem to remember you poisoning me quite a few times."
It seems that besides arsenic, which you haven't used, let me think about what other poisons there are...
Before Zhao Qinghe could finish speaking, Bai Hetang quickly bowed.
"Grandma, please, all that is in the past. I was just blind and didn't recognize your greatness."
If I had known I would one day fall in love with Miss Xin, I would never have competed with her.
"Or, you can beat me up to vent your anger. If one beating isn't enough, then you can beat me up again."
Zhao Qinghe was amused. "Hmm, that's a good suggestion. I'll remember it."
But we're busy getting on our way right now, so let's put it aside for now.
"I'm going back to Lingnan. Would you like to come along, Doctor Bai?"
"Is this for real?" Bai Hetang nodded immediately upon hearing Zhao Qinghe's words. "Let's go together."
They acted as if they were afraid of being rejected if they nodded even a second too late.
The servants who had been chasing after Bai Hetang saw their young master about to leave and immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Young master, you mustn't!"
Bai Hetang glared at him, "Why not? I'm already so old, and I've finally found a girl I like. Do you dare to stop me?"
The servants repeatedly said they dared not.
After beating the servants, Bai Hetang turned to look at Zhao Qinghe.
"Miss Zhao, would you allow me to visit your home to propose marriage?"
If Miss does not object, then I will write a letter and ask my father to prepare the betrothal gifts.
Once we return from Lingnan, we can get married immediately.
Whether Dr. Bai's words were moving or not is unimportant; what matters is his sycophantic demeanor, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
Zhao Qinghe smiled faintly, casually opened the box in her hand, checked the silver notes and land deeds inside, and raised her eyebrows.
Are you sure you want to marry me?
As you know, the husbands of women in our Zhao family are not allowed to take concubines, have maids, or keep mistresses.
If you can guarantee that your heart will never change for the rest of your life, then proposing marriage is fine.
Bai Hetang nodded quickly.
"Alright, alright, Miss, don't worry, I will never change my mind in this lifetime. I am not some immature boy. If I were such a lecherous man, I would have a whole harem of wives and concubines in my household long ago."
As long as the young lady agrees, my father will propose marriage.
"Miss, is there anything else you require? Please let me know."
Zhao Qinghe said she was very pleased, “Yes, there is no such thing as being divorced by the Zhao family, only being divorced or widowed.”
If you can't stay true to yourself in the future, we can part ways amicably.
Otherwise, I wouldn't mind being a widow.
The servants of the Bai family were so frightened by Zhao Qinghe's words that their backs were covered in cold sweat.
Bai Hetang's eyes sparkled; his fierce words were just too adorable.
"That day will never come. Thank you for your honesty and sincerity, Miss."
Bai Hetang's answer almost made Zhao Qinghe doubt whether he was mentally sound.
She quickly dismissed it, but anyone who dared to bully her would have to see if the poison powder in her hands would allow it.
No one in the capital city knows yet that Zhao Qinghe's martial arts skills are also extremely high.
Bai Hetang naturally had no idea, only assuming that Zhao Qinghe was exceptionally talented in the field of poisons.
