Chapter 7 He is a man of virtue! He also gave her all his property
In the yard.
Shen Yuanwei stared at the group of people running away with her eyes wide open. Seeing the old general being laughed at by the servants, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xiao Lingzhao looked at her sideways.
Seeing her smile, Xiao Lingzhao immediately said, "My parents are both very good people. We don't have so many rules in the general's mansion. Everyone is harmonious—"
Shen Yuanwei turned and looked at him.
His dark eyes were sincere, "I hope you can like our family... and me."
Shen Yuanwei looked at this bullied young general, then at the group of people going away. She curled her red lips slightly, "I like it very much."
Xiao Lingzhao's ears turned slightly red.
He wanted to know whether the girl liked their family or him, but he was... timid and didn't dare to ask.
He silently turned his head and signaled the guards under the eaves to open the chains on him.
The guard did not move, but took off the key from his waist and threw it into his arms.
He raised his hand to take the key and looked at the guard with confusion, "What do you mean? You don't plan to do it anymore?"
The guard raised his chin slightly and told him, "Young General, I can't avoid touching you after I take off your chains, but you are married now, so I can't do things like bathing you or touching you anymore. You must remain loyal to your wife and be a clean man."
“…”
Xiao Lingzhao watched the guard turn and walk away in silence, feeling a little doubtful about his life.
Is this a ghost possessing you?
Do two grown men also have to avoid suspicion?
Shen Yuanwei looked at the guard's elegant back and couldn't help but lean on Xiao Lingzhao's shoulder and burst out laughing.
This family is so funny!
Everyone was immersed in sadness before and was suppressing their emotions, but now they are all letting their true natures run wild, right?
Xiao Lingzhao lowered his head when he heard the voice, and looked at Shen Yuanwei like this, thinking -
Perhaps what his guard said was right. Look how happy his wife is.
He gently stroked Shen Yuanwei's hair with his slender fingers and said to Shen Yuanwei, "In the past, I only kept a distance from women. From now on, I will keep an appropriate distance from men as well. However..."
He looked at Shen Yuanwei hesitantly, "Shouldn't there be any need to avoid suspicion when it comes to mounts? My mount is a mare, you shouldn't mind that, right?"
Shen Yuanwei raised her head with an incredible look on her face.
She thought the man was joking with her, but when she saw his extremely serious expression, she burst out laughing.
"Hey, your guard just said it casually, do you really take it seriously? You should just keep your distance from women, why do you have to avoid men? It's okay for people, but you even a horse..."
Xiao Lingzhao was very serious.
"But you like me to be clean."
Shen Yuanwei met his dark eyes and felt a little amused.
"Not really, really. Just ride your horse peacefully and continue making friends. Don't be too shy."
Xiao Lingzhao nodded.
"good."
He picked up the key to open the chain, then took Shen Yuanwei's finger and walked into the room with him.
He pointed to the small couch and said, "Sit down. I'll go get something."
Shen Yuanwei asked him, "What do you want?"
He said, "I'll give you all my possessions."
Shen Yuanwei was pouring herself a glass of water. When she heard this, she quickly put down the glass and grabbed his arm, "No, no, no!"
Xiao Lingzhao stopped and looked at Shen Yuanwei seriously with his dark pupils. "To discuss the marriage, why don't I show you my belongings first? Are you satisfied?"
Shen Yuanwei looked up at the handsome major general who was a head taller than her.
Who could have thought that this cold-blooded god of war could be so honest and cute, such a contrast!
She sat down on the small couch and chuckled, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we say we should get to know each other better?"
She said, resting her elbows on the small table.
The smooth cuffs slid down, revealing a piece of snow-white arm.
"Let me introduce myself to you first. My name is Shen Yuanwei. Yuan is the Yuan in Yuanxiao, and Wei is the Wei in Caiwei."
Xiao Lingzhao looked at her delicate and lazy appearance with his dark eyes, and when he saw her exposed white arms, his eyes darkened.
He whispered, "The Yuan in the girl's name should not be the Yuan in Yuanxiao—"
Shen Yuanwei raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Do you have more say in my name than I do?"
Xiao Lingzhao didn't say anything.
He slowly bent down and moved closer to Shen Yuanwei.
Shen Yuanwei was suddenly shrouded in his shadow.
He was a general of ten thousand troops and was quite intimidating. He pressed in front of Shen Yuanwei at such a close distance. The pressure made Shen Yuanwei feel numb on her back. She subconsciously supported herself on the small couch and moved back two inches.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped back two inches, the man immediately moved three inches closer. He rested his slender fingers on the wall behind her and leaned closer to her, just a few inches away from her.
Shen Yuanwei looked at the man leaning over her with clear eyes, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Lingzhao whispered, "The 'Yuan' in the girl's name shouldn't be the Yuan in Yuanxiao, but the Yuan in Yuanpei."
He stared at Shen Yuanwei with his dark eyes, "I, Xiao Lingzhao, want to ask you to be my first wife. For the rest of my life, I will not take another woman. I only want you as my first wife. Please agree to my request, young lady."
Shen Yuanwei blinked her eyelashes.
Suddenly he was so close to her, she thought...
This little coward has the desire but not the courage.
However, these words are quite pleasing to the heart. How can one not be moved by a sincere, enthusiastic, and straightforward handsome war god?
Shen Yuanwei stroked his eyebrows with her fingers, "Are you really not going to take a concubine, have no second thoughts, and never betray me?"
Xiao Lingzhao nodded, "Yes, if I, Xiao Lingzhao, betray the young lady and hurt the young lady, then my Xiao family will be destroyed, I will be struck by lightning, I will be pierced by thousands of arrows, my body and head will be separated, and I will die a miserable death."
Shen Yuanwei doesn't believe in oaths.
But, this man is sick and can't live without her for a day, so maybe he really won't betray her.
She stroked Xiao Lingzhao's cheek with her fingertips.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know my family background? Do you know whether I am a good person or a bad person? You made a lifetime vow so easily. Don't you think it's rash and impulsive?"
Xiao Lingzhao raised his hand and covered the back of her hand, feeling particularly attached to this unique warmth.
"Only those who have a long life and a way out will consider whether to be impulsive or rash. For someone like me, how can I hesitate? If I hesitate, the girl will leave me, and it won't be long before I become a crazy person again. So, I don't hesitate, I don't hesitate, I want you."
He raised his eyes and stared at Shen Yuanwei.
"If you have a good family background, I want to marry you. If you don't, I don't mind. As for whether you are a good person or a bad person... I will be able to see clearly over time. If you are a good person, we will spend our lives together. If you are a bad person..."
His eyebrows became sharp, and the fingers covering the back of Shen Yuanwei's hand became slightly heavier.
"I will kill you and then I will follow you and I will give you my life as compensation, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei didn't expect Xiao Lingzhao to say this.
She asked with a smile, "Give me your life as compensation? Don't you feel at a disadvantage by dying for a bad woman?"
Xiao Lingzhao had a smile in his eyes.
"I trusted the wrong person, and paying the price is the retribution I deserve."
