Chapter 695: Land cessation and compensation

Shengze nodded without hesitation, "The person I trust most in this world is you."

Being able to be trusted unconditionally should be a joyful thing, but Shen Qingqian felt very confused, "Why? We don't seem... that close, right?"

Shengze shook his head, "Anyway, remember, the person I trust the most is you."

He doesn't plan to tell her about the dream for the time being because he's afraid that some people don't want others to know their past. What if he tells her and she becomes more wary of him?

Because of that dream, he knew what kind of person Shen Qingqian was, knew her unknown side, knew her true temperament, and also knew that she was different from others and had her own beliefs.

Maybe because in modern times, Shen Qingqian is used to keeping a certain distance from everyone, but Shen Qingqian didn't take his words to heart.

"If I can help, I will do it without you having to ask."

This is Shen Qingqian's answer. In this strange world, facing absolute class oppression, she can't guarantee anything.

Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian didn't meet anyone they knew on the way back. When they arrived at Huanxi Courtyard, Shen Qingqian said she didn't want Shengze's support anymore.

"I can really walk by myself, just a few steps, no problem." Shen Qingqian smiled so hard that her face almost froze. Anyway, she definitely didn't want to be seen with Shengze helping her affectionately.

In fact, she was not afraid of anyone else, but Liang.

Due to Liang's temperament, Shengze didn't come to propose marriage after she got married. Liang had said it several times. If Liang knew that Shengze was helping her go back in public, she wouldn't say anything. She would just wait. Let's get married.

Sheng Ze's face was a little dark, and now he finally realized what Shen Qingqian meant.

"You don't want to be responsible for me anymore?" Shengze stared at her, with a hint of anger on his face, but he couldn't hide the grievance in his eyes.

Shen Qingqian wanted to raise her forehead, "How could it be? Didn't I agree that you would propose marriage in half a year?"

Sheng Ze pursed his thin lips tightly, and showed no intention of taking away Shen Qingqian's hand.

Shen Qingqian saw someone coming from the corner of her eye, and said in a hurry: "It's not that I don't want to be responsible, I...then why don't you propose marriage in five months?"

It is not necessary to cede land and pay compensation! But what can she do?

"Four months." Shengze said unmoved.

Shen Qingqian saw that the group of people coming back from the fields were about to turn around the corner and could see them immediately. She could only grit her teeth and nod, "Okay!"

Only then did Shengze let go of her, with one hand behind his back and the other still weakly by her side.

Shen Qingqing rolled his eyes at him and hummed in his heart, wasn't it just two months in advance? Proposing a marriage does not mean that you can get married immediately. It depends on how she drags it out when the time comes!

…

Because King Zhao cut off the communication between the six northwest states and northern Hubei, the people in northern Hubei did not know what the six northwest states across the river were like now.

Only the soldiers who often patrol the area around Lanjiang would express a few words of emotion when they see the water level in Lanjiang continuing to drop.

"Alas, I don't know how many people will die on this day and this year."

"Are you satisfied? We still have water to drink here and water to irrigate the fields. I wonder what we can do over there in Chenzhou. The Lanjiang River is almost drying up. Tsk tsk..."

"Hey, don't you think this is strange? Why is there always water in our river? This was not the case during droughts in previous years."

"Today's six chapters, I guess you won't be able to see them until after 12 o'clock."
