Si Yi's gaze fell on the top of her head.
When he saw the beaded flower he had given her properly placed in her hair, a smile flashed in his dark eyes.
"It's nothing, I just came to tell you that I will be proposing to the Princess the day after tomorrow," he said gently.
Green Beauty's gaze fell on his waist, and seeing that he was indeed still wearing the sachet she had given him, she felt a little sweet inside. When she heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded shyly, "Okay."
"Then I'll be going now," Si Yi said.
“Okay.” Lü Qiao nodded, then suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said seriously, “Si Yi, I have no other relatives in this world. Although Miss is my master, she treats me very well. She is like my family.”
If it weren't for Miss, I wouldn't exist in this world anymore.
She is also my benefactor.
From now on, you must respect Miss as I have.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi's nonchalant expression faded, replaced by seriousness.
He held her shoulder and agreed, "I understand, don't worry."
A mist suddenly welled up in Lü Qiao's eyes.
She blinked, lowered her head, and said, "Si Yi, when I was five years old, my parents died. I was supposed to die in the freezing cold, but Miss passed by and took me back. From then on, she gave me food, clothing, and shelter..."
Si Yi actually knew about her background. Back when his master and the princess were engaged, he had investigated all the people around the princess and naturally knew about her past.
But this was the first time he had heard her mention it herself.
Actually, his background is somewhat similar to that of Lü Qiao.
Therefore, he could understand her gratitude towards the princess.
However, what he didn't say was that the former princess was not quite the same as the current princess, and was not as good as Lü Qiao described.
The princess may have saved her on a whim, but for Lü Qiao, it gave her a chance to continue living.
Moreover, after the master returned from the border, the princess's temperament changed. She became kinder to those around her, as if she had become a completely different person.
He had met the princess several times and knew that she was not only approachable and never bossed around servants or acted superior to them, but also genuinely cared for those around her and was very protective of her own.
It was him. Because of her master, she took good care of him and treated him like family.
Perhaps it was her sincere attitude towards people that made Lü Qiao follow her so devotedly.
He could also see that the princess treated Lü Qiao very well, as if she were a younger sister.
Therefore, he could completely understand Lü Qiao's feelings.
“Lvqiao, I understand what you mean and I understand your feelings. Actually, I… was also picked up by our master. Without our master, I wouldn’t exist.” Si Yi said softly at the end.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao couldn't help but look up at him.
She overheard him talking about it with the young lady last time, so she vaguely knew something about his background.
Thinking of their tragic fates, she couldn't help but reach out and hug his waist.
"Si Yi, I've realized we're quite compatible," she said with a touch of emotion. They both had similar tragic pasts and had both been saved by their masters. Living together in the future, they should be able to understand and tolerate each other better.
She suddenly hugged him, which startled Si for a moment. He then reached out and hugged her back. "Yes, so we must take good care of each other from now on."
"Okay," Green Fairy replied softly.
Remembering something, she left his embrace and said hesitantly, "Although Miss doesn't care about the dowry, I still hope you can prepare some for the future. After all, I consider Miss as part of my own family, and I hope that when you propose, there will be such a formality."
At this point, her voice became slightly urgent, "If you don't have it, I have some here, I'll give it to you."
Si Yi ruffled her hair. "You're so silly. Even if I didn't have it, I would have found a way to get it, instead of you eagerly offering it to me. And even if you hadn't said anything, I would have prepared it."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao blushed slightly. "I was just thinking that after we get married, what's yours will be mine, and what's mine will be yours. We won't distinguish between us."
Si Yi frowned. "There's no need for that."
"What?" Green Fairy stared at him blankly. Did he not agree with her suggestion? Or did he want to distinguish between them?
"What's yours is still yours, and what's mine is still yours. After we get married, everything I own will be yours to manage," Si Yi said.
Lü Qiao remained stunned.
"Alright, you can go in now. I'm leaving." Si Yi smiled slightly, turned around, and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Lü Qiao was still somewhat dazed.
Si Yi actually said that what's hers is still hers, but what's his is hers, and after they get married, all his things will be under her control.
At this moment, Lü Qiao felt very lucky to have met Si Yi, such a... uh, such a big fool.
...
Two days passed quickly.
That morning, Wen Nongnong had just finished her breakfast, served by Ding's mother. She felt that she had been eating bland food for the past few days and her mouth had no taste at all. She wondered when she could send Ding's mother away so that Aunt Li could secretly make her something delicious.
However, as soon as the thought flashed through her mind, her stomach suddenly churned. She quickly covered her mouth, rushed into the bathroom, and then, holding onto the toilet, vomited violently.
This scene gave Ding's mother and Lü Qiao and the others a big fright.
Some people were fetching cloths, others were carrying water; the room was bustling with activity.
Gu Linchao had just returned from the training ground when he heard the commotion inside the house. His heart tightened, and he asked, "What happened?"
The maidservant beside her said tremblingly, "The princess vomited..."
"Where is he?" Gu Linchao's expression changed upon hearing this.
Wen Nongnong stopped vomiting after being diagnosed with pregnancy that day, but she vomited again today.
Thinking of this, Gu Linchao's heart tightened.
"In...in the bathhouse," the maid replied.
Upon hearing this, Wang Houde quickly helped Gu Linchao walk towards the bathroom.
However, after walking only halfway, Wen Nongnong was helped out by Ding's mother and Lü Qiao, feeling weak and exhausted.
Seeing Gu Linchao, Wen Nongnong felt wronged and very delicate, but because there were so many people in the room, she still resisted the urge to ask him to hug her.
But Gu Linchao seemed to sense something. He didn't say anything, but walked over, reached out and helped her into his arms, gently patting her back as if to comfort her.
His nonchalant behavior startled everyone in the room, who then tactfully withdrew.
Wen Nongnong leaned against Gu Linchao's chest, clutching his sleeve, and said pitifully, "Being pregnant is so hard, I feel like I'm going to throw up my bile..."
Gu Linchao patted her back and gently comforted her, "We'll only have this one child, and we won't have any more."
