Chapter 169 The Shackles on Your Body
Wei Ziqing and Mo Xiaodie both looked shocked and were still outside. It has been at least two hours since Dingxiang announced the first time!
Wei Ziqing savored the words of Dingxiang carefully, and suddenly became popular again. Yuan Hongjie asked Dingxiang to ask her like this, but it means that he had accepted Xiao Erlang in his heart. He could let him enter the house with just her agreement?!
Too unprincipled! Too unstable! Too easy to coax! She raised her eyebrows and wanted Dingxiang to continue driving away, but suddenly she saw the little girl sitting next to her frown slightly, and there was a slight worry and heartache between her eyebrows.
Her heart suddenly broke out and suddenly remembered that when she and Yuan Hongjie first got engaged, the people in the Marquis's mansion looked down on him, but he was a Jinshi, so they would not give him a bad face. However, every time he came to the mansion, he always received him very perfunctorily, and Guo and Nanping Hou never wanted to see him.
But he was stupid. He smiled whenever he saw her, with a satisfied look on his face, as if he didn't feel the neglect of Nanping Hou Mansion to him at all.
Once, she heard the maid who had just given Yuan Hongjie a refreshment, whispering.
"... I smiled so hard that I was a fool. I saw that he was from the village. Such a person was actually a Jinshi?! It seems that Jinshi is not that difficult to be a Jinshi!"
"Hehe, you don't know. I just brought him the cold tea left over from last night! He took a sip and looked strange. I lied to him and said that the wealthy families in Xiangyang City have been popular for drinking cold tea recently. Guess what he did? He actually said to me with a grateful look, "He doesn't know this, thank me for telling him!"
"My God! Such a man actually wants to become the son-in-law of our Hou Mansion! No wonder the wife never wants to come out to see him. Apart from his Jinshi status, there is no place in him that he cannot lose his price!"
She felt her heart tremble slightly when she heard it, and then walked out with a calm face and slapped the two maids twice. However, she had never said this in front of Yuan Hongjie.
Later, he asked her if it was a hot summer in Xiangyang City for a while. She only said that it was popular for a short time because it was very hot one year. But later a doctor said that drinking cold tea is not good for the health. Even in hot weather, it cannot ruin your body for a temporary comfort. This fashionable thing is left unresolved.
She suddenly couldn't say the words that had reached her throat, and she was silent for a while and said, "Since the husband has no objection, please come in."
Mo Xiaodie was stunned and suddenly looked up at Wei Ziqing. She thought it would take several days for Wei Ziqing to figure it out.
However, Wei Ziqing still had no smile on her face, and she was coldly keeping people from thousands of miles away. She was a little confused about Wei Ziqing's thoughts.
The two walked into the hall. Xiao Churui was already sitting there, talking to Yuan Hongjie. When he saw Wei Ziqing, he immediately stood up and bowed: "Madam, I'm taking the initiative to visit you, I hope you won't disturb your wife."
Today he was wearing a moon-white big-sleeved shirt, his hair was neatly combed, and his head was wearing a gentle and handsome look, looking like a good family.
Although this person usually looks arrogant and cold, when he is willing to approach someone, he is fully capable of grasping his temperament just right, and even reveals a little warmth and friendly feeling, easily bewitching people's hearts. Mo Xiaodie is deeply touched by this.
She only glanced at Xiao Churui and then opened her eyes. At this time, she could not act too enthusiastically, otherwise she would be afraid that Wei Ziqing would be even more worried.
Just seeing that his face looked good, the worries in her heart dissipated a little.
Wei Ziqing looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him, and his heart tightened slightly. That night, she just glanced at him and remembered the man's overly outstanding appearance and demeanor. At this time, he was still standing in front of her with such respect. His slender and beautiful eyes had a faint smile, as if the cold moonlight had been crushed and fell into his eyes, making people unable to help but be attracted, bewildered, and amazed by it.
Don’t blame Ziyi for being confused for him. If such a man wants to please a woman, I am afraid that no woman can guard her.
Thinking of this, she felt even more nervous. Will such a man really be sincere to Ziyi? Will he be good to Ziyi only for the rest of his life? She doesn't have to think about how much courage a woman needs to stand by such a man.
Her face couldn't help but get a little colder, and she said sarcastically: "If you want to disturb me, Xiao Erlang has been standing at the door of our Yuan family for two hours. Now I remember to ask this, is it too late?"
Yuan Hongjie silently looked at the sky. How long has it been since he met his wife like this?
The last time I remember was in Puzhou half a year ago. A widow in the county was a cook at their house. She always waved to him intentionally or unintentionally and showed kindness to him. He has always been slow in this regard. Although he felt it strange, he did not think deeply.
Until one time, she took Tiantian home by making a fuss. When he and Ziqing came to the door, the widow smiled sweetly and said, "The little lady is bored at home alone, and it just happened that her girl is about the same age as the little lady, and the two of them have fun playing with each other, and they are like a pair of sisters!"
At that time, Ziqing had a cold face and pressed the widow step by step, aggressively. At the same time, she finally fired her without any mercy. Even the widow knelt on the ground and kowtowed her in tears.
Ziqing has always protected her shortcomings, and she has never really gotten angry for herself, but for the people around her.
Wei Ziqing did not give Xiao Churui a chance to speak, and continued: "Anyway, Xiao Erlang is from a noble family and does things all depend on his own will. How can he consider other people's feelings?
Even if you want to marry my little sister, you only need to let the official family issue an imperial edict..."
Suddenly, what she was saying stopped, her eyes widened slightly in disbelief, and she watched the precious man in front of her slowly kneel down in front of her.
Not only Wei Ziqing, but everyone in the hall was so shocked that they couldn't make any sound, and Yuan Hongjie stood up all of a sudden.
There is gold under a man's knees, let alone Xiao Erlang, who was born in the royal family, is afraid that he will never bend his knees for anyone except the elders and officials in his life.
However, at this moment, he knelt down in front of them, without hesitation, and his eyebrows were serious.
Mo Xiaodie felt her heartbeat slightly faster, and her eyes seemed to be able to see the handsome figure kneeling in front of her. Then she heard the man's clear voice as wind saying: "I failed to ask for Ziyi with the consent of both of you first. It's mine, and I am willing to apologize for this.
However, my move is not because I do not respect the two of you, because my relationship with Ziyi is too sensitive. Before I am 100% sure to marry Ziyi, I cannot give the world any handle that will hurt Ziyi."
On the day Wei Ziqing gave birth, he left at dawn, and he didn't want people to know that he had appeared in the Yuan family.
There were too many things involved between him and Ziyi, including Nanping Hou Mansion, Princess Rongyang, Queen Mother Pang, King Teng... and many of his enemies hiding in the dark.
If they knew that he was willing to marry Ziyi, they were afraid that Ziyi would not have a good life. At that time, he was not famous and had no choice but to not only could he not protect her openly, but his every move might also bring more harm to her.
Others say that he lives freely and freely, but in fact it is just a manifestation. In such a position, only he knows how many shackles he has.
Therefore, he could only hide it from everyone. He was not anxious, but only seeking stability. He always had patience in doing things and enjoyed the process of slowly making his prey fall into the net. However, this time, unlike anything he had done before, he had to worry more about.
What he thought about before was just how to play with people's hearts, but what he wanted to think about was how to win people's hearts.
Did Xiao Churui, who has always been arrogant, ever devoted himself to such a thing?
Wei Ziqing looked at the young man in front of him in a daze, forcing himself to harden his heart, and said coldly: "You also know that your relationship with Ziyi is sensitive! Xiao Erlang, let me tell the truth, what kind of woman do you want to marry cannot be married?
You are the second son of the eldest princess's mansion. Although Ziyi is the second son of Nanping Hou Mansion, I believe you know her situation better than me. Without a strong family, you will not be unaware of what Ziyi's marriage into the royal family!
