Luo Xiuran held Qian Qingâs cold hands and said firmly, âTheyâre my parents, and Iâve already spoken to them about what they did back then. Itâs okay if you donât want to marry into the Luo family. I can marry into your family! Donât complain that I eat too much. I can eat less. Even if I donât have the title of Young Marquis, I can still make a living selling calligraphy and painting.â Luo Xiuranâs attitude was extremely humble. He looked at Qian Qing carefully, afraid that he would be rejected again.
Qian Qingâs heart trembled violently when she saw Luo Xiuran like that. He even said he wanted to âmarry into her familyâ. In fact, she had always known what he had done for her. Because of her, his relationship with everyone in the Luo family was very strained. He even requested the Emperor to abolish his title, but the Emperor did not agree in order to restrain Marquis Luoâs
Residence and the Prince Regentâs Residence.
Seeing that Qian Qing did not respond for a long time, Luo Xiuran grew more and more anxious. Like a puppy, he begged pitifully, âQian Qing, donât abandon me.â
Feeling the cold on her neck, Qian Qingâs heart tightened again. He was crying.
Qian Qing still did not respond, and Luo Xiuran felt more and more uncertain.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the King of Zhenbeiâs
Residence.
When Qian Qing lifted the curtain and saw the familiar plaque above the entrance, she quickly pushed Luo Xiuran away and whispered, âWeâve arrived at the King of Zhenbeiâs Residence. Iâll leave first.â
âDoes this mean that⦠she rejected me again?â
Luo Xiuran lowered his gaze, feeling extremely bitter. He kept comforting himself inwardly that it was fine and that he had already expected this.
âIt doesnât matter. If Qian Qing rejects me this time, thereâs still a next time. We have a long life ahead of us. I can afford to wait.â
At this moment, Qian Qing, who had already gotten out of the carriage, suddenly turned around and said softly, âIâm sorry, but your wish to marry into my family might be difficult to fulfill. I donât have a home, let alone a family.â
âHuh? What does Qian Qing mean by that?â
Luo Xiuran looked at Qian Qing, puzzled.
However, Qian Qing had no intention of explaining further. After saying that, she quickly entered the residence.
At this time, realization finally dawned on Luo Xiuran.
âDoes this mean sheâs willing to accept me? Yes, sheâs willing to accept me!â
Luo Xiuran jumped out of the carriage and wanted to chase after Qian Qing, but she was long gone. He could only stomp his feet in frustration.
âI have to tell Qian Qing tomorrow that it doesnât matter if she doesnât have a family! We can create our own family!â
Luo Xiuran laughed foolishly as he wiped the tears with the back of his hand.
âQian Qing is finally willing to accept me!â
As soon as Qian Qing returned, the lights in the courtyard lit up.
Meng Xia ran over and asked teasingly, âSister Qian Qing, youâre back? Whereâs Young Marquis Luo?â
Qian Jiao and Qian Mei also covered their mouths and giggled.
Yu Yunxi, who was sitting under a tree and sipping tea, asked teasingly as well, âThatâs right, Qian Qing. Whereâs Luo Xiuran?â
They had spies everywhere in and around the King of Zhenbeiâs Residence. Qian Qingâs words to Luo Xiuran at the entrance of the residence had already reached their ears.
For the first time, Qian Qing revealed the shyness of a young girl. She stomped her feet and said, âEldest Princess, donât tease me.â
Yu Yunxi walked over and said, âAlright, alright. Letâs not talk about that for now. Did the assassins hurt you?â
Although Feng Yili said that Jiang Chuan would lead a group of people to intervene if Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing could not handle the assassins on their own, she was still very worried about Qian Qingâs safety.
âEldest Princess, donât worry. Iâm fine. Young Marquis Luo is fine too,â Qian Qing replied as she quickly wiped the few drops of blood on her body away.
After checking Qian Qing from head to toe, Qian Qing finally sighed in relief.
Then, she turned to the others and said, âQian Jiao, Qian Mei, Meng Xia, Iâm a little hungry. Please go to the side kitchen and get me something to eat.â
The three women naturally knew that Yu Yunxi had something to say to Qian
Qing in private. They hurriedly nodded and said tactfully, âYes, Eldest Princess.â
After the trio left, Yu Yunxi pulled Qian Qing to sit down before she asked seriously, âQian Qing, have you thought it through?â
Qian Qing understood Yu Yunxiâs meaning. She nodded and replied, âThank you for your concern, Eldest Princess. Luo Xiuran and I have been entangled and suffering for a long time. He didnât do anything wrong, and he has been thinking of ways to protect me. I was stubborn before. Life is short. If I canât let go of him, I should try to accept him again, right? Moreover, heâs willing to marry into my family,â Qian Qing said.
Yu Yunxi laughed when she heard Qian Qingâs words at the end.
âA certain Young Marquis is really willing to go all out to chase his wife.
However, this also shows that he really cares about Qian Qing.â
âAlright. As long as thatâs what you want, itâs good. However, if Luo Xiuran bullies you, you have to tell me. I wonât let him off just because heâs Feng Yiliâs good friend. I promised Sister Jian that Iâll look after you,â Yu Yunxi said seriously as she held Qian Qingâs hand.
A hint of worry flashed in Qian Qingâs eyes when her sister was mentioned. She wondered out loud, âI wonder how Sisterâs doing now?â
âFeng Yiliâs people sent a letter from a Tianxia before this. Your sister is doing well. When we return to Tianxia in the future, weâll go and visit her,â Yu Yunxi said.
âOkay.â Qian Qing quickly nodded.
At this time, a maidservant walked over and reported, âEldest Princess, Miss Shuangshuang is here.â
âYu Shuangshuang?â
Only then did Yu Yunxi remember that Yu Shuangshuang suddenly did not feel well when they were about to leave so she did not enter the palace with her in the end.
âBring me her in,â Yu Yunxi said calmly.
Soon, Yu Shuangshuang entered the courtyard. It was not winter yet, but she was already wearing a jacket. She was tightly wrapped up, and her face was pale.
âHow do you feel?â Yu Yunxi asked.
Yu Shuangshuang bowed and said, âShuangshuang greets the Eldest Princess. I feel much better. Thank you for your concern, Eldest Princess.â
Qian Qing got up and brought a chair over for Yu Shuangshuang. However, when she accidentally touched the back of Yu Shuangshuangâs hand, she discovered the latterâs hand was abnormally hot. She asked solemnly, âDo you have a fever?â
âYes, but Iâve already taken medicine so I donât feel so bad anymore,â Yu Shuangshuang replied, quickly shaking her head.
Yu Yunxi frowned. âWhatâs going on? Why did you suddenly feel unwell at the last minute?â
Upon hearing these words, a hint of anger could be seen in Yu Shuangshuangâs eyes as she said, âLast night, Grandmother suddenly summoned me. I had no choice but to go over. When I was there, she didnât make things difficult for me. She just made me kneel for a while. However, when I was on my way back, a figure suddenly rushed when I was passing the pond and pushed me into the pond. Fortunately, my maidservant knows how to swim. Otherwise, you wouldnât be able to see me alive today.â
Yu Shuangshuang spoke through gritted teeth nearing the end of her words..
