She went on and on about Song Lan's good points, which made Song Lan's lips twitch quite a bit as she listened.
"Stop."
Is she as good as he says?
Once she starts talking, she can't stop. Is she just full of virtues? Well... even she doesn't believe that herself, okay?
"What's wrong?"
Qin Yanzheng was stunned, looking a bit dazed, which was a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.
"I'm not as good as you say."
Song Lan's eyes were full of seriousness: "Putting aside everything else, just the fact that you say I have a good temper, I have to make it clear that if I get really angry, I will whip people. If you don't believe me, just ask Second Sister."
"I understand, I understand."
Qin Yanzheng nodded repeatedly.
"..."
This completely baffled Song Lan, who asked, "What do you understand?"
“I understand why you would use a leather whip to strike someone. By the way, wife, have you prepared a leather whip? If not, I will prepare one for you. No, I will prepare two more for you, so that you don’t break one and can’t come up with a second one in a while.”
Upon hearing this, Song Lan's eyes and lips twitched slightly.
"You're something else! If I wanted to kill someone, would you just stand behind me and hand me the knife?"
Qin Yanzheng heard Song Lan's thoughts and thought to himself: It's impossible to hand over a knife, after all, murder is punishable by death. Wife, who do you want to kill? You don't need to lift a finger, I'll take care of it for you!
"No need for that, my whip is very sturdy."
Two leather whips hung in her bamboo house, one a gift from her father and the other from her maternal grandfather. Both were very sturdy. She would take one out and leave it there, so that if any of the younger children in the family did something wrong and did not repent, they would be in for a good whipping!
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
Qin Yanzheng smiled, deeply understanding Song Lan's suggestion to use a whip when angered.
It's nothing more than his own stupid younger brother and silly younger sister making mistakes, but they stubbornly refuse to admit them and show no remorse. Only under such circumstances would his wife get so angry that she would use a whip to teach the little brats a lesson.
Does it hurt your heart?
No!
He didn't feel sorry at all!
If someone truly makes a mistake and doesn't repent, then whatever punishment they receive is justified!
It is because "jade cannot become a vessel without carving, people cannot know righteousness without learning, and trees cannot grow into their proper shape without pruning."
The fact that his younger siblings are strictly disciplined by his wife, his sister-in-law, is a great blessing for them!
If anyone dares to object, he, as the eldest brother, wouldn't mind a combined brother-in-law and sister-in-law doubles beating!
Qin Yanzheng thought to himself.
Song Lan chuckled and asked, "You really listen to me? You listen to everything I say?"
"certainly."
Qin Yanzheng nodded, his expression not too serious: "At home, I listen to my wife completely."
Even if I did or said something wrong?
Song Lan looked at the other person with a playful expression.
"How could my wife be wrong? Even if she is, it's my and Qin Boyan's fault!"
Without hesitation, Qin Yanzheng stared expectantly at Song Lan, his dark eyes clearly saying, "Wife, praise me!"
Her public persona has completely collapsed.
"You are very good."
Song Lan suppressed a laugh and praised the man. Instantly, she saw him laughing like a complete idiot, while Qin Yanzheng, if he had a tail, would definitely be wagning like a propeller.
"Remember what you said. If you can't do it, my whip won't care who you are."
"Don't worry, honey, I promise I'll keep my word!"
Seeing that Song Lan was in a good mood, Qin Yanzheng squeezed the slender hand he held in his palm and said, "Wife, you will never leave me in this life, right?"
"..."
Song Lan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That depends on your performance. If you do something that I can't forgive, I will choose to leave."
Faced with the smile on her face, Qin Yanzheng knew that the person in front of him was not lying, because her eyes were clear, calm and serious. If he ever did something that she could not forgive, she would definitely not give him a chance to stay and continue living with her!
Qin Yanzheng, I hope you can always treat me with sincerity, just as you said today. Of course, I will treat you with the same sincerity. But if you ever betray my trust, then... I will absolutely not stay!
Because I won't compromise, and I don't want to wrong myself. However, before making the decision to leave, I will verify whether your betrayal of me is true. I can't just make a hasty judgment about you and then end our marriage in a muddled way.
Cupping Song Lan's cheeks, Qin Yanzheng looked directly into her eyes and said earnestly and solemnly, "You are my only woman, Qin Yanzheng, and always will be! If my words are not sincere, it only means that I, Qin Yanzheng, am not worthy of you, and how could I have the right to keep you by my side!"
But I swear to you with my integrity and faith, that day will never come!
Song Lan gently slapped the man's hand away and said, "Isn't that a bit too much to say?"
Qin Yanzheng shook his head decisively and replied, "You are my first woman and my last woman. Before you, I have never had any intimate words or actions with any other woman."
He was indirectly telling Song Lan—never betray her!
A look of emotion crossed Song Lan's eyes. She remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Qin Yanzheng, just like how you feel about me, I think you are just as good. This is the truth. No matter why you married me, I can tell you now that I only wish your heart were like mine, and I will never betray your love!"
Did you know? This is actually my first time experiencing a romantic relationship. Before, I was either traveling with my grandfather to provide free medical care to the poor.
I was either learning how to manage the household like other noble ladies, or I had so much to learn that I had no time to think about romance... Later, my father was seriously wounded in battle against the Tartars, my eldest brother died on the battlefield, and my second brother... although he survived, he was left with a lifelong disability...
For the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, for the sake of the people's peaceful life, and for the sake of the border people no longer suffering from the burning, killing, and looting of the Tartar cavalry, I resolutely went to the emperor, made a military pledge, disguised myself as a man, and went to the border to take over the responsibilities on the shoulders of my father and brothers.
I led my army to fight against the Tartars. After several years, we finally wiped out the entire grassland. Although I was eventually pierced by a hidden arrow poisoned with various deadly toxins and was unable to return to the capital or my parents, and was unable to take off my military uniform and get married, I died with honor!
That year, I was only 23 years old... My unexpected arrival into this world can be considered a new life for me, and I had promised the original owner of this body that I would take on her responsibilities and protect everyone in this family and my birth parents.
Originally, I thought that once you woke up and recovered, if you asked me for a divorce, I wouldn't have any objections, because I didn't want to repay kindness with enmity. After all, you saved the original owner of this body, but you were forced to marry her, which is unfair to you.
So my thoughts have been clear from the beginning. But now that you are interested in me and willing to continue our marriage, I will naturally not betray you and become a person who breaks his word!
Qin Yanzheng, you... please don't let me down!
