It was clearly what she was looking forward to seeing Zhao Yuxiao again.
But now she just felt hairy all over.
It didn't seem like Zhao Yuxiao came to reminisce with her, but rather to settle a score with her.
Also, wasn’t the maid right next to them? Why did she let Zhao Yuxiao come over like that?
Ying Xixi turned her head with a stiff neck and saw Zhao Yuxiao standing behind her. As for the maid, she had already run away and no one knew where she was.
"General?"
Ying Xixi spoke dryly and stood up to face Zhao Yuxiao.
The oppressive feeling of Zhao Yuxiao hit her in the face, and she didn't dare to meet his eyes.
"Miss Yang looks nervous? Is she afraid of Zhao?"
Zhao Yuxiao spoke in a deep voice, as if he didn't know Ying Xixi.
If Ying Xixi hadn't learned from there that Zhao Yuxiao had already investigated her life experience as Chunhua, she almost thought that Zhao Yuxiao really didn't recognize her.
So what did Zhao Yuxiao want to do by pretending not to know her?
Ying Xixi's thoughts turned around, and her nervousness eased a little.
"General, you've misunderstood. As a great general, you've defended our country and made countless military achievements. No one is afraid of you except the enemy.
I was just a little frightened by the general's sudden appearance behind me."
Zhao Yuxiao narrowed his eyes, "Really? Zhao scared Miss Yang. It's Zhao's fault. Zhao apologizes to Miss Yang.
Zhao lost his composure because Miss Yang looked very similar to someone he knew, and he thought he saw someone he knew.
Ying Xixi lowered her eyes, "I see, General Zhao, there's no need to apologize. There are many people in this world who look alike. Perhaps I bear some resemblance to an old acquaintance of General Zhao.
An old acquaintance that General Zhao misses must hold a significant place in his heart."
"Yes, Zhao was concerned about her, but she was such a heartless person. She was clearly still alive, but she didn't send a letter to tell me that she was still alive.
Zhao thought that the heartless girl was trying to get rid of me, so she hid the news that she was still alive."
General Zhao gritted his teeth as he said this.
The gaze that fell on Ying Xixi's face almost became real.
Ying Xixi retorted sarcastically, "General, you're joking. Didn't you think that old acquaintance might have tried to pass on the message to you?
It's just that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Besides, the general is so skilled in martial arts. If he really wants to see that old acquaintance, why doesn’t he come forward on his own initiative?
From this, I'm afraid the general's concern was just a joke."
General Zhao choked and said, "Miss Yang, what you said makes some sense, but Miss Yang, you don't know that I was assassinated some time ago. I am in a lot of dangers. I am worried that if I find that old acquaintance, she will be hurt.
It would be better to let her stay in her own home first, which would be safer."
Ying Xixi still kept her eyes downcast. "Oh? So, has the danger around the General been resolved? Has the General considered taking his old acquaintance with him?"
"To be honest, the danger has not been resolved yet, and it may take some time. However, Zhao misses his old friend very much and wants to take her away, but he doesn't know if she is willing."
There was a hint of tenderness in Zhao Yuxiao's gaze as he looked at Ying Xixi's face.
"Then General, have you ever thought that even if you want to take an old acquaintance away, you must have a reason."
Ying Xixi said as she sat down at the table.
Zhao Yuxiao sat across from her with his arms and legs spread wide open, "Miss Yang is right. There is a reason, but I don't know what that old acquaintance thinks. I am attracted to her and want to marry her.
But Zhao had difficulty in having children and could not give her a child. This alone made Zhao hesitate.
I don’t know if she is willing to marry Zhao.”
Ying Xixi's eyes flashed when she heard this, "The general has never said this to her, so how could he know her wishes?
Sometimes, good communication is needed to understand each other's intentions. What do you think, General?"
Zhao Yuxiao stared at Ying Xixi, "Miss Yang, what you said is true. Miss Yang, do you think that old acquaintance has feelings for Zhao? Would she be willing to marry Zhao?"
Ying Xixi raised her eyes and finally met Zhao Yuxiao's gaze.
"If the general wants to know, I'm not sure what to say. If the general wants to know, he can come and propose marriage first."
Ying Xixi finished speaking with ambiguous meaning, and a smile appeared on her face covered by the veil.
"General Zhao, please do as you please. It's time for me to leave."
Ying Xixi got up and left.
Zhao Yuxiao watched Ying Xixi's graceful figure leaving, and he unclenched his clenched fists and then clenched them again.
Chunhua...is also fond of him!
If there wasn't someone secretly watching here, he really wanted to tell Chunhua everything at all costs!
After the family reunion banquet, Yang Lin came to find Ying Xixi.
"Xixi, today's family reunion banquet just ended, and many people have been asking about you. There are quite a few people who want to discuss marriage with you."
Yang Lin seemed to be in a good mood.
Ying Xixi took a sip of tea, which ruined Yang Lin's good mood.
"Mother, don't forget, I'm a barren woman. If I marry someone other than General Zhao, I might end up making an enemy instead of a relative."
Yang Lin: “…”
She sighed, "Mother knows, I'm just telling you this, how's General Zhao doing?
Mother heard from the servants that he came to see you. Your father originally planned to wait until the banquet was over and then secretly tell General Zhao about your affairs.
In the end, General Zhao left before the banquet was over, and no one knew when he left.
"Just wait, mother. We'll know what General Zhao wants in a while."
Ying Xixi looked very confident when she spoke to Yang Lin, but she was actually nervous.
The danger around Zhao Yuxiao has not been eliminated yet, so will he choose to propose to her first, or settle his own affairs first?
It’s hard to say which is more important now.
After Zhao Yuxiao returned home, he immediately called people to prepare for the marriage proposal. He didn't know much about the process of proposing marriage, so he specially asked someone who knew to take care of it.
Two days later, Zhao Yuxiao took the matchmaker to the Minister of Justice's residence to propose marriage.
The excitement was so great that everyone around knew that the person proposing marriage was the great general who guarded the country!
Everyone was in an uproar. After all, it was no secret in the entire capital that it was difficult for the great general to have children.
Everyone also heard that the Great General of the Nation had rejected the Emperor's previous marriage proposal for this reason. Why is he taking the initiative to propose marriage now?
Could it be that the Great General Guarding the Nation is really in love with the legitimate daughter that the Minister of Justice had just brought back?
Zhao Yuxiao didn't care about the discussions outside. He brought the matchmaker into the house and saw Chunhua wearing a veil again.
Today Chunhua is wearing a lake blue chest-length skirt, looking very beautiful.
"General Zhao, are you... coming here to propose marriage? I wonder which of my daughters you're proposing to marry?"
