At two o'clock in the morning, in the backyard of the Qin Mansion, in the study.
Qin Ming ate the meal very quickly. It only took ten minutes from the time he moved his chopsticks to when he was full.
He put down his chopsticks and said to the women around him:
"I've eaten. You can use it slowly."
"I will take Butler Xiao to the study first to learn about the hospital's renovation progress. You will finish your meal later, so remember to come to the study first. I have something to give you."
Yang Zijun, who had dinner with Qin Ming for the first time, felt a little disappointed when he heard that Qin Ming was leaving. He lowered his head and picked up the vegetables silently.
Xiao Qingwan put down her chopsticks, stood up and said:
"Sir, please follow me and serve the tea."
Qin Ming shook his head and said:
"No need, just let the other maids in the house go. You can stay and have a good meal."
"Changxi, let's go."
Xiao Changxi nodded and followed Qin Ming out of the restaurant.
After a while,
Qin Ming asked Dong Xue to stay in the yard and watch, while he pulled Xiao Changxi into the study.
As soon as the door closed, Qin Ming couldn't wait and pressed Xiao Changxi against the door.
Qin Ming took off the gauze from Xiao Changxi's face with ease.
Just when Qin Ming wanted to go forward and kiss those tempting thin lips as usual!
But Xiao Changxi's words turned her into stone!
"Qin Lang, did Jun'er and you perform the courtesy of Duke Zhou?"
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he waved his hands repeatedly as if he had been scratched by a cat:
"How could it be! Why do you think so?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Xiao Changxi's eyes.
She really planned to let Yang Zijun follow Qin Ming for the rest of his life, and she even got Empress Xiao's approval for this matter!
But when things came to a close, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she learned that the "daughter" she had raised through all kinds of hardships was with Qin Ming!
Still a little jealous!
After all, Qin Ming didn't even inform her beforehand!
[Men, they are all really big pig hooves! ]
The more Xiao Changxi thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes gradually became covered with a layer of mist!
Qin Ming immediately panicked when he saw this. He reached out to hug Xiao Changxi's waist, but Xiao Changxi dodged it.
"Listen to my explanation. I really didn't do anything like that with Zijun. If you don't believe me, I can swear to you!"
After speaking, Qin Ming raised his right hand, stretched out three fingers, and said:
"By the heavens, I, Qin Ming, swear that if I just told a lie, I will not..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, Qin Ming's mouth was blocked by Xiao Changxi's hands!
"Qin Lang, I just trust you."
Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this and took the opportunity to hug Xiao Changxi's graceful waist!
Xiao Changxi pursed her lips and asked:
"Then girl Jun, why did you take off the veil in front of you?"
"Girl Jun swore when she was in Yangzhou that her appearance would only be shown to her future husband."
Qin Ming suddenly realized what he said, and couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment on his face.
But looking at Xiao Changxi's appearance, she didn't seem to be very opposed to him marrying Yang Zijun.
The reason why he is so angry is most likely because of his "taking without complaining".
Thinking of this, Qin Ming was relieved.
"I'm about to tell you about this. Let's go sit down on the sofa and I'll tell you slowly."
After saying this, Qin Ming couldn't help but take Xiao Changxi's hand and walk towards the sofa.
Xiao Changxi struggled symbolically, then let Qin Ming pull her forward.
After the two sat down, Qin Ming first used his sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of Xiao Changxi's eyes.
Then he told Xiao Changxi everything that happened on the carriage.
Qin Ming took Xiao Changxi's hand, put it on his chest, and said seriously:
"If you want to blame, blame me! I'm too greedy. I already have you, but such a beautiful woman is still not satisfied!"
"If you want to hit or scold me, I will admit it!"
"But I swear that I will love you and protect you for the rest of my life!"
"In short, you and Zijun, I will be determined for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, Qin Ming hugged Xiao Changxi tightly into his arms.
"You will never leave me in this life!"
After Qin Ming's explanation, Xiao Changxi, who had originally planned to hand over Yang Zijun to Qin Ming, was relieved soon!
What she cared about most in this matter was Qin Ming's attitude towards her!
As for her relationship with Yang Zijun, in terms of blood, it is just that of aunt and niece!
In terms of genealogy, blood relationship may not be as good as blood relationship. She and Xiao Qingwan are very close!
In addition, she comes from a big family and has seen too many similar things.
When she was young, she saw many children from the clan, and there were quite a few who took two sisters as concubines at the same time, and even took a mother and daughter as concubines!
No matter how outstanding Qin Ming is, he is still a man in the final analysis.
Men are all big pig hooves!
She has known this since she was a child.
At this time, hearing Qin Ming's straightforward words of love and those words that were both domineering and unreasonable, Xiao Changxi's pretty face turned red.
She lay on Qin Ming's shoulder, pursed her lips, and spit out two words.
"Scoundrel!"
When Qin Ming heard this, he was immediately elated!
He held Xiao Changxi's shoulders and said excitedly:
"So Xi'er, do you agree?"
Xiao Changxi pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and said:
"I hope Mr. Qin will never forget today's promise and be kind to our mother and daughter!"
Qin Ming was overjoyed. He held Xiao Changxi's beautiful face and kissed her delicate red lips.
"Don't worry, I will do what I say, and I will treat you well in this life!"
Xiao Changxi hummed softly and leaned into Qin Ming's arms.
After a short period of silence, Xiao Changxi suddenly sighed and whispered softly:
"This is all my fault. If only last year, after Zijun recovered from her illness, I would have betrothed her to you."
"Zijun has had a strong sense of self-esteem since she was a child. This time she took the initiative to be my husband's concubine. She must have shown great courage!"
"Hey...it's all my fault, otherwise with her... she would be worthy of being married to my husband!"
When Qin Ming heard Xiao Changxi's words, he had an idea and gently stroked Xiao Changxi's back and said:
"I will find a way to marry her!"
Xiao Changxi suddenly raised her head when she heard this, looked at Qin Ming in a panic and said:
"Lang Jun, no, you can't offend the Li Tang royal family because of Jun'er."
Qin Ming took Xiao Changxi into his arms, rubbed Xiao Changxi's back, and explained:
"Xi'er, you misunderstood, I want to help Zijun find an equal wife!"
Xiao Changxi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then quickly dimmed.
"I have only heard that high-ranking officials can marry Teng's wife. I have never heard that anyone can marry an equal wife. There is no precedent for this in the court."
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"If there is no precedent, then let's set a precedent. In short, I will not let you and Zijun be wronged!"
"To take a step back, when the new location of the academy is completed, we will start recruiting students on a large scale."
"Zi Jun is the dean of the School of Calculation. His status will only get higher and higher. Maybe by that time, he can ask for a royal title from His Majesty!"
Xiao Changxi thought about it after hearing this, and felt that what Qin Ming said was not impossible, so she felt much better!
If Zijun really becomes Qin Ming's equal wife, then she will be considered worthy of her status as the princess of the previous dynasty!
After talking about the business, Qin Ming was about to reach out to the white rabbit when there was a knock on the study door!
Then came the crisp sound of winter snow.
"Master, Wan'er and the others have entered the courtyard."
