Chapter 695: Cession of Territory and Compensation
Sheng Ze nodded without hesitation, "In this world, the person I trust most is you."
Being trusted unconditionally should be a happy thing, but Shen Qingqian felt very confused, "Why don't we seem that close?"
Sheng Ze shook his head, "Anyway, remember, you are the person I trust the most."
He didn't plan to tell her about the dream for the time being, because he was afraid that some people didn't want others to know about their past. What if he told her, she would become even more wary of him?
Because of that dream, he knew what kind of person Shen Qingqian was, her unknown side, her true character, and he also knew that she was different from others and had her own beliefs.
Perhaps because she was used to keeping a certain distance from everyone in modern times, Shen Qingqian didn't take his words to heart.
"If I can help, I will do it without you telling me."
This is Shen Qingqian’s answer. In this strange world, facing absolute class oppression, she can’t guarantee anything.
Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian didn't meet anyone they knew on the way back. When they were almost at Huanxiyuan, Shen Qingqian said she didn't want Sheng Ze's support at all.
"I can really walk by myself. It's just a few steps. No problem." Shen Qingqian's face was almost frozen with smile. She definitely didn't want anyone to see Sheng Ze supporting her affectionately.
In fact, she was not afraid of others, but Liang.
Given Liang's personality, she had complained about Shengze not proposing to her after she came of age several times. If Liang knew that Shengze helped her back in public, she would not say anything and would just wait to get married.
Sheng Ze's face darkened a little, and at this moment he finally understood what Shen Qingqian meant.
"You don't want to be responsible for me again." Sheng Ze stared at her, with a hint of anger on his face, but he couldn't hide the grievance in his eyes.
Shen Qingqian wanted to hold her forehead, "How could that be? Didn't I agree that you can come and propose marriage in half a year?"
Sheng Ze pursed his thin lips tightly, and showed no intention of taking away the hand that was holding Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian had seen someone coming over from the corner of her eye, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, otherwise you can come and propose marriage in five months."
It's not right to cede territory and pay compensation! But what can she do?
"Four months." Sheng Ze said unmoved.
Shen Qingqian saw that the group of people coming back from the fields were about to turn the corner and would be able to see them immediately. She could only grit her teeth and nod, "Okay!"
Sheng Ze then let her go, with one hand behind his back and the other still loosely placed beside her.
Shen Qingqian rolled her eyes at him and snorted in her heart. Isn't it just two months in advance? Proposing marriage doesn't mean they can get married immediately. Let's see how she drags it out when the time comes!
Because King Zhao cut off communication between the six northwestern states and northern Hubei, the people of northern Hubei had no idea what the six northwestern states across the river had become like now.
Only the soldiers who frequently patrolled the area around Lanjiang River would sigh when they saw the water level of Lanjiang River continuously dropping.
"Alas, I wonder how many more people will die this year."
"You should be content, we still have water to drink and water to irrigate the fields here. I wonder what's going on in Chenzhou. The Lanjiang River is almost dry. Tsk tsk."
"Hey, don't you think this is strange? Why is there always water in our river? It wasn't like this during droughts in previous years."
"Today's six chapters, I guess you won't be able to read them until after 12 o'clock."
