The news that Li came to Qingzhou spread quickly.
When they came, it was with great fanfare.
The prefect of Qingzhou was frightened. Inspector Pei stayed in Qingzhou, and he was afraid that something would happen to him.
Later, the so-called Lord Ji came, and his identity was kept secret. Seeing that Pei Zhi was respectful to that person, the prefect dared to ask more questions.
Now that the Li family, one of the four major families in Luoyang, has also come, the Qingzhou magistrate was worried that something would happen. After accompanying Ji Qinsheng here, he hurried to the Li family again.
He was very worried.
Jiang Li felt inexplicable when she found out that Jiang Xue was Empress Li Qingxue.
In the previous life, the Li family had never found this so-called daughter, and I had never thought about it.
I never expected that Jiang Xue would be the daughter of the Li family.
She stayed in her yard and did not go out. The next morning, Pei Zhi took the initiative to come find her.
Jiang Li looked gloomy: "Third brother, Li Qingxue is Jiang Xue. Now that the Li family wants to marry me into the family, I'm worried-"
Naturally, the third brother would not let her marry into the Li family, but she was not worried about this.
What I thought was that Li Qingxue would make things difficult for her.
She persuaded Mrs. Li to propose marriage, knowing that she would not get married, and knowing that her third brother would protect her in these aspects. It was puzzling that she did it even though she knew it would not succeed.
It makes people wonder what the purpose is.
Before Jiang Li fully expressed her worries, Pei Zhi took over and spoke with a faint smile on his face: "Ah Li, the old lady knows about the relationship between the two of us."
Jiang Li stood up suddenly: "Have you told grandma all this?"
He raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Jiang Li felt anxious. Her grandmother knew that she was actually with her third brother, and she didn't know what to do.
There was a hint of complaint in her tone: "Third brother, haven't we already agreed not to tell them these things yet? How come third brother can't keep his word?"
Seeing that Pei Zhi didn't speak, she anxiously grabbed Pei Zhi's sleeve: "So what did grandma say?"
Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows and pulled the person into his arms: "What else can I say? Of course I agreed."
The little girl looks particularly cute when she looks so anxious.
When Jiang Li heard this, she wanted to struggle out of Pei Zhi's arms. Her almond-shaped eyes slightly opened: "When did it happen? Third brother is still joking with me."
Pei Zhi came closer, and his warm breath blew out, gently moving the tips of Jiang Li's hair.
"When have I ever joked with you?"
Jiang Li knew that this was another joke. She straightened her expression and asked again: "So, grandma not only knows about it, but also allows us to be together?"
This is nothing like what a grandmother would say.
Pei Zhi chuckled lightly, his tone arrogant.
"You're not married and I'm not married, so why should I disagree?"
——
Since Yuan Jing received the letter, he thought something had happened at home. After saying goodbye to Hua Yue in a hurry, he rushed towards Luoyang.
Dad has never let things at home make him sad. This time, he wrote a letter to Pei Zhi, saying that he must go back by himself.
Yuan Jing was very worried.
He finally rushed back to Luoyang and returned to Yuan Mansion, only to find that nothing happened at all.
When the young man saw him coming back, he was surprised and said, "Master, why are you back?"
Yuan Jing was confused: "Didn't you say something happened at home?"
The boy was confused: "No, the house has been very peaceful recently."
"What about my dad?"
"Master, he is right here -"
The boy was about to ask again, but Yuan Jie heard the noise outside and had already gone out: "Yuan Jing, I'm here."
Yuan Jing stepped forward and said anxiously: "Dad, what happened?"
Yuan Jie coughed when he heard this, and the people around him stepped back knowingly.
A hint of guilt flashed across his face, but Yuan Jing felt even more anxious when he saw this scene.
What kind of thing is it that makes my father, who has always been carefree, unable to say anything.
After everyone around him had retreated, Yuan Jing spoke anxiously again: "Dad, everyone around me has left, so I can speak in my heart."
The guilty conscience on Yuan Jie's face became more obvious.
"It's hard for you to come back. Why don't you go and rest first? It will be the same if we talk about it later."
Yuan Jing looked at his father in front of him, feeling heartbroken.
Dad is always thinking about himself. Over the years, he has been staying by Pei Zhi's side. Dad has never been embarrassed about family matters.
"Yuan Jing, no matter what I say later, you must hold still."
Yuan Jing is also impatient: "Dad, what happened? You are making me anxious to death."
Dad has never been so coquettish!
Yuan Jie then said righteously: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Even at your age, it's time to choose a wife."
Yuan Jing did not expect that this was the reason for calling him back in a hurry.
"Dad, so this is what you said in your letter, something big happened?"
Yuan Jie was obviously a little afraid to face Yuan Jing, so he frowned and said: "Your marriage is not a big deal after such a long time!"
Yuan Jing endured the tone in his heart.
How could I really believe that something big was going to happen in my family? Even though I hadn't heard any news all this time, I hadn't thought about it at all.
Yuan Jie was afraid that his son would cause trouble. After all, in this matter, they were indeed unkind.
Yuan Jing looked at his guilty father and sighed: "You told me this earlier, it's not like I wouldn't agree."
I have been with Hua Yue for so long, and it's time to explain it to my family.
When Yuan Jie heard this, he slapped him on the shoulder: "You mean, you agreed?"
Yuan Jing was about to tell what happened between him and Hua Yue when Yuan Jie's hearty laughter came out: "So what you mean is that you agreed to the engagement with Miss Li's family?"
Yuan Jing came back early and just missed the news about the Li family.
"What Miss Li family?"
Yuan Jing didn't react for a moment. Didn't the Miss Li family lose her long ago? Could it be that she found it during this time?
Yuan Jie said: "Our family has arranged a wedding with the Li family. It's just a pity that the young lady of the Li family has gone missing. Now that she is found, this marriage will naturally be put on the agenda."
Yuan Jing returned to his thoughts and quickly interrupted: "Dad, there is no possibility between me and Miss Li."
Yuan Jie chuckled: "You brat, you weren't willing just now, why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"
Yuan Jing's expression straightened: "Dad, I already have someone I like, and I was just about to tell you."
Yuan Jie was dissatisfied when he heard this: "I don't care who you like, your marriage with Miss Li has been decided for a long time. No matter what, it can't be changed."
"As for you messing around with women outside, let me deal with them myself."
Yuan Jing originally wanted to reason with his old man, but he didn't expect that Yuan Jie would become a little angry after saying such words.
Unconvinced, he contradicted her and said, "It was my father who arranged the marriage in the first place. It would be better for me to marry the young lady from the Li family myself."
