"Fifth Sister isn't angry anymore?"
Seeing that she had talked to him for so long and seemed to have calmed down, Jing Zhe asked with a smile.
"Who said I'm not angry? — Pshaw, I'm not angry at all!"
Liu Jinghong pouted.
"Yes, how could my gentle and magnanimous fifth sister be angry?"
Jing Zhe smiled, then frowned and asked, "But we can't just stop using it in the future, can we?"
“It can be used, but not now. For example, after a few more days, when everyone has almost forgotten about this matter, we can say that we ran into that wandering Taoist priest again and asked him to do some things.”
At this point, Liu Jinghong glanced at Jing Zhe, "Would you be willing to personally go to Liangzhou and deliver it to Fifth Sister?"
Then he added, "If they're unwilling, that's fine too. I can defeat them with my Iron Cavalry!"
"Yes, of course I'm willing!"
Jing Zhe quickly smiled ingratiatingly: "I was just thinking of going to Liangzhou to see where Fifth Sister lives, and then bring her back!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong finally broke into a smile.
After laughing for a while, she said softly, "Then don't keep Fifth Sister waiting too long. After we go back this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to come out for a while. Maybe things will get better when spring comes next year!"
Hearing this, Jing Zhe felt quite uncomfortable.
He couldn't even imagine the immense pressure Liu Jinghong would face in Liangzhou! It wasn't even September yet, and there were still a full six months until next spring.
For such a long time, she may have had to be on high alert, dealing with the invasions of the Western Frontier barbarians, and this kind of life has continued for many years!
So Jing Zhe gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Sister, I'll go to Liangzhou to find you as early as one month, and no later than two months!"
"real?"
Liu Jinghong's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course it's true. Even if Fifth Sister doesn't miss me, I miss her! When I go to Liangzhou, it will be the day Fifth Sister leaves Liangzhou!"
Liu Jinghong didn't speak, but simply rested her head on Jing Zhe's shoulder and nestled in her arms.
Silence speaks louder than words.
A moment later, Jing Zhe helped her up from his arms. Liu Jinghong looked at him with some confusion, wondering why he would break such a beautiful atmosphere.
"Fifth Sister, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
"Have a heart-to-heart talk?"
"Yes, let's have a heart-to-heart talk."
More than just having a heart-to-heart talk, I want to open up to you…
They say if you're bold enough, even teachers can take maternity leave, well, then sister...
In any case, in his plan, on this eve of parting, he had to do something to make Liu Jinghong return to Liangzhou happily.
He couldn't care less what outsiders thought!
The two were not related by blood. Although they had lived together since childhood, these older sisters played more of a role as child brides in real life!
Well, his late father may have had this thought too, otherwise why did he adopt seven daughters instead of sons?
Besides, through his observations and probing over the past few days, he had already discovered that Liu Jinghong had similar thoughts to his. However, perhaps out of concern for societal norms, or perhaps because women are naturally more sensitive than men, Jing Zhe estimated that it would be difficult for her to express her feelings on her own.
However, as a man, he felt it was time for him to take the initiative!
Next, Jing Zhe sat cross-legged on the bed and turned Liu Jinghong's body to face him as well.
In the hazy light, a faint yellow glow shone on Liu Jinghong's beautiful face. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of her mouth were turned up. Her small, delicate nose had a beautiful curve that made one want to press it down.
But Jing Zhe knew it wasn't the time to act impulsively, so he smiled and said, "Fifth Sister, do you know why I asked His Majesty to bestow the title upon Second Sister in court today?"
Liu Jinghong pouted, seemingly in a huff, and said, "Isn't it because you and your second sister are the closest?"
After saying that, even she couldn't help but laugh.
People are sometimes so strange. Even when they feel that there is no relationship anymore, and Jing Zhe has already coaxed her back, they can't help but get jealous when they hear certain things or when certain people are involved.
This feeling... is so subtle...
I had it when I was little, but it was very different from now.
As Liu Jinghong thought about it, her face gradually turned red. She didn't dare to look at Jing Zhe and secretly lowered her head.
Jing Zhe didn't care and launched the first wave of attacks on Liu Jinghong according to the plan!
"Fifth sister, as you know, whether it was when we were little or now, I only have one sister who is closest to me."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong raised her head, her eyes shining with a different kind of light, as if she were recalling the scene of her leading Jing Zhe to play and run around in the yard when they were children.
Jing Zhe pressed his advantage, saying, "That's you, my childhood sweetheart, my fifth sister, Liu Jinghong."
"..."
Liu Jinghong's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with affection.
"Fifth Sister, actually, the reason I asked His Majesty to give the title to Second Sister was so that Second Sister could pass it on to her children in the future, so that she wouldn't have to worry about her children anymore."
Liu Jinghong nodded without saying anything.
"Fifth Sister, Second Sister's child can inherit her title and live a life of comfort and wealth. What about your child?"
Jing Zhe suddenly blinked and looked at Liu Jinghong.
Having lived this long, Liu Jinghong had never thought about this kind of question, nor had anyone ever talked to her about it. When she heard about children, the first person she thought of was Jing Zhe. If she hadn't been with him, how could she have children?
Thinking of this, Liu Jinghong's cheeks flushed red, and she was already too embarrassed to look at Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe continued with a smile, "Actually, I had already thought about this issue in the court. Fifth Sister's children don't need to inherit the title."
Although she didn't yet have the concept of having children, Liu Jinghong felt uncomfortable after hearing these words. Why should other people's children have this, but her child doesn't?
She curled her lip and said, "It's my own child, I will fight for his title myself!"
Jing Zhe shook his head again and smiled, "No need."
"Why shouldn't we use it?"
This time, Liu Jinghong was genuinely angry. She didn't want to dwell on whether they were favored or not, but why were they even treating the children differently?
Then Jing Zhe reached out and straightened her body, then moved forward a little, to within three fists' distance of her.
The two were looking at each other at eye level, so close that they could even hear each other's breathing clearly.
"Because my fifth sister's child will inherit my title, that's why I gave that title to my second sister!"
"..."
This was Jing Zhe's second offensive, which was more direct and swift than the first.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong was stunned, sitting there blankly as if she had lost her soul, her body swaying.
