"Liu Yunqing is not bad. She is beautiful, kind, and generous in her actions. It doesn't matter if you like her or want to marry her. But you can't hurt Xiaozi. No matter it's appearance, conduct, family background, or the way you treat her, When it comes to feelings, Xiaozi doesn’t lose at all. To be honest, at the beginning, I didn’t agree with Xiaozi marrying you. But when Xiaozi cried and told me that she has liked you for many years and would not marry you unless she was I can only support her. I am just a younger sister. From childhood to adulthood, I love her the most and cannot bear to let her suffer a little injustice. If you feel that you have wronged her by letting Liu Yunqing be your concubine, then you can make her an equal wife, father. I can go talk to the king." Zhao Tan arrived at the Hou Mansion half a day later than Zhao Zi. When he learned that Xia Jingyao was unwilling to marry Zhao Zi, he came to Xia Jingyao to argue. However, Xia Jingyao was not in the mansion at that time, so he had been waiting in the Jingyuan.
"Brother Tan, I have always regarded you as my brother and Xiaozi as my sister. I have never thought about becoming husband and wife with Xiaozi. Now, Liu Yunqing and I are so happy that we can no longer tolerate a third person. If we marry Losing Xiaozi will only waste her life. She deserves better, and should not waste the rest of her life on someone who doesn't love her. I don't want her to regret it in the future, and I don't want her to turn against you in the future. Cancel it now An engagement is the best protection for her. I will put all the responsibility on myself and try to minimize the damage to her reputation." Xia Jingyao cherishes the friendship with Zhao Tan's brother and sister. It is precisely because of cherishing that he is more determined. to break off the engagement.
"I know that the marriage gift is too sudden and you can't accept it for a while. But can you give Xiaozi a chance and give yourself a chance. You get along for a while and see if you can fall in love, then everyone will be happy. If so. If you can't fall in love, I will help you break off the engagement. This time does not need to be too long, it will be the Chinese New Year. In the past few months, let Xiaozi live in the Hou Mansion, and you can get along. I have never asked you, This time, for Xiao Zi, I beg you." Zhao Tan could also understand Xia Jingyao's thoughts, but Zhao Zi was his most beloved sister, and no matter what, he would give Zhao Zi a chance.
"Brother Tan, you know me well. Once you make a decision, you won't change it. Besides, the longer it takes, the greater the damage will be to Xiaozi. Cutting the mess with a quick knife is the best way now." Xia Jingyao still doesn't want to change it. Moved.
"Xiao Jing, you have to have a conscience. If it weren't for the Zhao family for so many years, you wouldn't be where you are today. I don't ask you to marry Xiaozi now, I just ask for a chance. Even this won't work? Do you want me to kneel down and beg you? , are you willing to agree? If I kneel down to beg you and you agree, then I will kneel down." Zhao Tan said and knelt down.
"Brother Tan, what are you doing? I promise you." Xia Jingyao also knelt down quickly. Zhao Tan is like this, and it won't work if he doesn't agree. Over the years, he has indeed received a lot of kindness from the Zhao family.
"Xiao Jing, forgive Brother Tan for forcing you like this this time." Zhao Tan was full of apologies.
"Brother Tan, stop talking and get up quickly." Xia Jingyao said and helped Zhao Tan up.
Liu Yunqing returned to Qingyun Courtyard, sat at the table and stayed up all night. No woman is willing to share the man she likes with others. Although it is very common to have three wives and four concubines, I still hope that my own is the only one. Liu Yunqing suddenly felt that he had become an outsider. If she hadn't appeared, Xia Jingyao's marriage to Zhao Zi would be the best choice for Xia Jingyao.
Next, Liu Yunqing went out early and came back late every day, busy with business matters. Not only was he numbing himself and not thinking about the marriage, he was also avoiding Xia Jingyao. She was suddenly afraid of seeing Xia Jingyao, and even more afraid that one day she would suddenly hear the news that Xia Jingyao was going to marry Zhao Zi. Business matters will inevitably overlap with Jiang Heng. The more contact they have, the more familiar they become.
On this day, Liu Yunqing had just returned to Qingyun Courtyard when Zhao Zi came. The two came to the room and kicked out all the servants.
"Liu Yunqing, I hope you can leave the Hou Mansion. As long as you are willing to leave, I can agree to whatever you want." Zhao Zi didn't waste any more nonsense and directly asked Liu Yunqing to leave. She knew that with Xia Jingyao's character, as long as Liu Yunqing was in the Hou Mansion for a day, she would have no chance of winning Xia Jingyao's heart. With such a proud character, how could she be willing to serve the same husband with someone else?
"If I want to say that I only want Xia Jingyao." Liu Yunqing directly responded tit for tat.
"Liu Yunqing, I have investigated you and found that you don't like Brother Jing at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to escape again and again. Now, I can help you escape. Don't you want to do business in the imperial capital? ? This lady can give you money, give you a store, and give you all the resources you want. In the future, in the imperial capital, with Ning'an Palace as your backer, no one will dare to cause trouble for you." Zhao Zi has not been idle these days. Liu Yunqing's matter was investigated clearly.
"It seems that Miss Zhao has really worked hard, but that was all in the past. Now, I don't want to leave, I just want to stay in the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion may not be as rich as your Wang Mansion, but it is enough for me. Yes." Liu Yunqing remained unmoved at all.
"This lady knows that you are Brother Tujing's money, and you don't love him at all. If you love him, how could you not think about his future? Brother Jing, after working hard for eight years, he only got a life without real power. The title of Yong'an Marquis. It looks like a beautiful sight, but in the eyes of the big shots in the imperial capital, Brother Jing has been abandoned by the emperor. If no one helps Brother Jing, Brother Jing can only die of old age and aggrieved here, and will never be able to return to the Imperial City. , and will never be able to use his talents again. Brother Jing has been ambitious since he was a child. He can write pens to settle the world, and he can use horses to determine the world. Therefore, even though Brother Jing grew up in a military camp, he never gave up studying. In other places When the soldiers were resting, he would memorize "The Analects of Confucius" and read policy commentaries. Just so that when there was no war, he could share the worries of the emperor and benefit the people. And the only one who can help him return to the imperial capital is this young lady. His father. You can't do anything to help him, you will only put him in danger again and again." Zhao Zi made full preparations before coming.
"So what, Xia Jingyao just likes me, not you. Instead of coming to see me, you might as well think about how to make him like you. Otherwise, even if I leave, there will still be Zhang Yunqing and Li Yunqing in front of me. Come. It's getting late, Miss Zhao, please come back." Liu Yun felt that there was no need to argue with Zhao Zi.
Zhao Zi snorted coldly, left the room, and left angrily.
Zhao Zi's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liu Yunqing's heart. Zhao Zi was right. The one who could help Xia Jingyao in the officialdom was the Prince of Ning'an, not Liu Yunqing. She never knew what kind of ambition Xia Jingyao had, and she never cared about whether he was willing to stay in Fuchang County and whether he lived happily every day. She will only cause trouble, only bring trouble to Xia Jingyao, and will only put Xia Jingyao in danger. Liu Yunqing suddenly realized that he was just a trouble for Xia Jingyao. Without himself, Xia Jingyao would only be better off.
