Chapter 275 He will never lie to her again in this life
I looked at it over and over again. It was exquisitely made and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary product. It was very comfortable to hold in the hand, as if it was tailor-made for me.
You can’t put it down once you pick it up.
"Is this a hand warmer? Does it have any other functions?" She held it in her hand and felt a warmth.
But there was nothing in it.
Liao Jiu said, "I haven't studied it. It was given to me by the palace as a hand warmer. Generally, things in the palace are fine."
Jiang Lianzhu studied it a little more by herself. It seemed to be a small self-heating heater. She didn't know what material it was made of.
It's inlaid with gold on the outside, so it must be worth a lot of money.
Love it.
It’s just right for use now.
She could also put it in her arsenal, somewhere secret and safe. If she were to travel back in time, she could sell this imperial gift for quite a bit of money...
Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Can you just give away something bestowed by the Emperor? Aren't they supposed to be kept at home for worship? Will someone report me for deceiving the Emperor? I can't afford that. Don't try to trick me."
Liao Jiu laughed, "Why not? If they are all worshipped, what use will I have for his reward? It would be better for him to be worshipped in the palace himself."
Jiang Lianzhu put away the hand warmer and said, "Then I'll accept it reluctantly. I don't have any New Year gifts for you. So, how about this? I don't owe you any favors, so I'll just use it as payment for your dinner. I don't want you to give me the twenty taels of silver."
"Deal." Liao Jiu's smile deepened.
Jiang Lianzhu took the hand warmer and couldn't let it go.
Liao Jiu asked casually, "What happened after I left? Tell me about it?"
Jiang Lianzhu said, "It's nothing. After you ran off with that wild woman, I went to the government office to get a divorce. The Wang family came to make trouble, but they were sent away. Then, I was afraid that assassins would come to Shili Town to cause trouble for us again, so I took Dabao and Erbao back to the village to live after their winter vacation. After we returned to the village, several strangers in the town asked about us..."
He summarized the matter in a few words.
"Well, there's more." Liao Jiu had left people in the town, so he knew all these situations.
He just wanted to listen to her chatter.
It was rare that she showed leniency tonight and didn't take action against him.
He had prepared himself for a beating from her, but luckily, that didn't happen.
Jiang Lianzhu continued, "There are also matchmakers coming to my house to propose marriage to me, and some people coming to my house to be my son-in-law..."
Liao Jiu was drinking water and nearly choked. "Isn't it too fast?"
It hasn't been long since the divorce, and a matchmaker has come to propose marriage?
"What do you mean soon? I'm a hot commodity in the surrounding area now. As long as there's someone I like and who meets the conditions, it's not impossible for me to get married during the New Year. So what? You bastard, how can you be so lenient? Do you still want to meddle in my affairs?"
Jiang Lianzhu's anger was about to break out again.
Liao Jiu hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm just curious about what kind of person the matchmaker told you about, since Doctor Jiang is so outstanding."
"My requirements were very high. I made four or five requests, and the matchmaker left on her own."
"What's the request? Can I hear it?"
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Governor Liao, you really care about the suffering of the people. You even ask about my blind date. Forget it, since you gave me a gift, I will tell you my request..."
I explained those points in detail.
Liao Jiunuoyu said, "The requirements are reasonable and can be even higher. We don't want anyone who doesn't come from a wealthy family, who doesn't have any achievements, or who doesn't look like Pan An. However, some of the conditions can be relaxed a bit. We can't limit it to Shili Town, but can expand it to Da'an Country. We won't consider people from other countries. As long as they are within the territory of Da'an Country, we can all be considered family!"
Jiang Lianzhu just wanted to slap him in the face. "Haha, Governor Liao, you're really humorous. Even if the entire Da'an Kingdom is one family, you're not even within my consideration. For those who have deceived me before, don't even think about deceiving me a second time."
Liao Jiu said nonchalantly, "I didn't ask you to consider me. I know I was wrong first, and you won't forgive me."
I'll just consider you.
He will never lie to her again in this life.
However, the situation seems a bit difficult now. First, Jiang Lianzhu's heart knot has not been untied. Second, he has not dealt with his own affairs yet and cannot make any promises to her.
Don't be in a hurry.
As long as Jiang Lianzhu doesn't get married, he still has time and opportunity.
He was already very satisfied that she could give him the opportunity to communicate with him normally, like today.
Jiang Lianzhu hummed, "You have self-awareness! Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Liao Jiu said, "Don't worry, I have something else to tell you."
"What?"
The two of them talked around the fire in a low voice, for fear of disturbing the girls sleeping in the bedroom on the right.
Liao Jiu was silent for a moment, and lowered his voice even more. "It's about Wang Laowu..."
"What's wrong? Have you found his whereabouts?" Jiang Lianzhu also became serious.
Liao Jiu said softly, "No, he might be my half-brother. I haven't told anyone yet. I'm just guessing. I'm only telling you. This is a little secret between us."
Jiang Lianzhu was stunned. "Really? You are also the son of Old Man Wang?"
Liao Jiu was silent for a moment. "You are the one born to Old Man Wang. My father is the Marquis of Qingning. He was mistakenly adopted and grew up in the countryside. He once... Anyway, let's talk about it. Next time I have the chance, I will come again and tell you in detail."
Jiang Lianzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're keeping me in suspense here. I'll tell you the story next time."
Humph, she doesn't want to know any of their family secrets.
It's nothing more than the story of the fox and cat replacing the prince shown on TV. What's so special about it?
Wang Laowu was really unlucky. He was born into a wealthy family, but he became a peasant. Not only that, his wife was almost taken away by his brother! He was also inexplicably still alive and dead. It was 80% said that he was dead. It is probably possible that he was assassinated because he looks like Liao Jiu. Liao Jiu himself was hunted several times. It is very likely that Wang Laowu was mistakenly killed because he looks like him.
This unfortunate and miserable child.
fine!
I will help you raise your cubs well...to comfort your soul in heaven.
"Don't come next time. If you come again, I'll break your legs!"
The charcoal fire in the house is warm.
It was dark outside.
Liao Jiu saw that time was running out and said, "I have to go now. I have to catch up with the morning court tomorrow. Otherwise, my whereabouts tonight might be exposed."
Jiang Lianzhu was stunned. "Get out of here! I'll freeze you to death, you idiot!"
