Zhuo Cong felt overjoyed and somewhat elated. He moved closer to the magpie and reached out to hug it: "Since we've gotten to know each other, why don't we..."
The magpie deftly spun around and dodged, then gently scolded, "Brother, you wouldn't be so rude in a dream. We agreed to have proper matchmaking and marry her properly."
A proper marriage with three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts?
To be honest, Zhuo Cong had long wanted to get married and have a son, but he had been living a life of constant danger and running around all these years, never settling down and never having had the chance to settle down.
Looking at the magpie again, it was exceptionally beautiful, with delicate skin and tender flesh;
What's most remarkable is that Xique's personality is one he likes, and she "admires" him so much, and they are kindred spirits.
If he could marry her, it would be a wonderful thing, and Zhuo Cong was very tempted.
But when he thought about her identity, Zhuo Cong hesitated again.
The master's purpose in letting them out this time was to get rid of the Ninth Prince, and he couldn't possibly give up such a good opportunity to control the Ninth Prince.
Seeing Zhuo Cong hesitate, Xi Que's expression changed: "Big brother doesn't like me?"
"I like it, of course I like it, but..." Zhuo Cong hesitated.
The magpie suddenly realized: "Brother, is there something troubling you? Why don't you tell me, and we'll figure out a solution together."
As she spoke, she added with a shy, girlish voice, "As long as I can be with my elder brother, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances."
Those charming eyes and graceful voice;
And those sweet and touching words of love...
(In order to protect herself and escape, Xique really used all the acting skills she had in her life.)
The girl had already gone this far, and Zhuo Cong felt that if he didn't work harder, he wouldn't deserve a wife in this lifetime.
In a moment of impulsiveness, Zhuo Cong revealed his identity and what his master might be planning to do using Xique.
"What? You want to use me to kill my young lady and son-in-law!" As expected, Xi Que was shocked.
Zhuo Cong was somewhat anxious and still wanted to persuade his future wife to stay: "What Master wants is only the Ninth Prince's life. I can plead with Master to release you, the Ninth Princess, and the people of your Vulture Stronghold. Once Master's great cause is accomplished, I will be a meritorious official, and then I will ask Master to grant us a marriage and marry you in a grand ceremony!"
“But my young lady and her husband…” Xi Que hesitated, glancing at Zhuo Cong with a very “reluctant” look from time to time, as if she was caught in a deep dilemma.
Zhuo Cong's heart fluttered with desire, and he couldn't resist asking, "My little beauty, are you really going to abandon me and your lifelong happiness for someone else?"
If you are worried about your young lady, I can always ask the master for another favor and find her a good marriage.
I have rendered many meritorious services to my master. I'm sure he'll grant me some leniency for these small matters, and prevent your young lady from living a life of loneliness.
“In that case…” Xi Que hesitated for a long time before saying, “Alright, now send a message to your master and tell him that I am willing to cooperate with all his plans.”
"That's wonderful! You truly are my precious little darling!" Zhuo Pi was overjoyed and made a move to pounce on him again.
The magpie gracefully dodged, mimicking how Ji Fengyao teased Shang Xiye, and softly poked Zhuo Cong's face with her finger, saying in a sweet voice, "Go and take care of important business. After you finish your business, you can do whatever you want after the wedding ceremony and marriage."
Zhuo Cong was so delighted by the amusement that half of his bones melted. Overjoyed, he went out and personally sent a message to the Crown Prince by carrier pigeon.
