Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Uncle Su, the heavens have blessed me, Xiao Zeyu, to meet such a wondrous woman like Qing’er. She’s a bright pearl that shines with boundless light; the other women are just fish eyes. How can fish eyes compete with a bright pearl? 1 promise you that no matter what my identity is in the future, I will only have Qing’er by my side and no other women.”
Ji Shuisheng solemnly used his real name to promise Su Hanxuan that even if he ascended to the throne, he would never have three palaces and six courtyards. No one could compare to Qing’er in his heart.
He had seen Ming Zhu before, so how could he be interested in her?
“Good, good. With your words, I can rest assured and hand Qing’er over to you. Qing’ er’s personality is proud and aloof; she can’t share a husband with someone else. The day you choose a wife and concubine is when she leaves you.”
Su Hanxuan looked at his son-in-law with admiration. A good man values relationships and loyalty. Otherwise, he would not bother to climb up even with a high position and power.
He told Ji Shuisheng about his daughter’s personality. Although they had only known each other briefly, Su Hanxuan was quite clear about Su Qing’s personality. She was a high and mighty eagle who disdained to fly with little sparrows.
The former Ji Shuisheng, now Xiao Zeyu, told Su Hanxuan resolutely,
“Don’t worry, that day will never come.”
Su Qing was very touched by Xiao Zeyu’s words. In ancient times, it was difficult for men to be faithful to their wives. They would have three wives and four concubines. Her father understood her. No matter how much she loved Xiao Zeyu, she would never work with another woman for him.
Why don’t you stop provoking me? You can’t think about other women since you want to be with me.
Love was the only thing!
Who said that the ancients didn’t have a couple for a lifetime? Her father and aunt only had their mother and aunt as their wives. They didn’t have any concubines.
If Xiao Zeyu couldn’t even do this, then she, Su Qing, must be blind. With her personality, Xiao Zeyu probably wouldn’t be able to live in this world anymore.
Xiao Zeyu suddenly felt his scalp numb as he sat in the room. A chill ran down his spine as a murderous aura floated outside the door.
Could it be Qing’er?
Xiao Zeyu blinked. Only Qing’er would have such a powerful killing intent. He glanced outside the door and saw a figure on the ground. A smile appeared on Xiao Zeyu’s face, but it instantly turned into confusion.
Who was her killing intent directed at?
Xiao Zeyu tried hard to recall what he had said earlier. He didn’t seem to have said anything that would make Qing’er angry.
He had already said he would be with her for the rest of his life. Was she not satisfied?
Xiao Zeyu muttered in his heart, did what he said just now not go against Qing’er’s wishes? Should he make it sound more mushy?
“Cough cough...”
He coughed lightly, thinking of what else to say to make Qing’er understand his determination.
“Qing’er, what are you standing here for?”
Luan Hong washed up and changed into a new set of clothes to thank Xiao Zeyu for saving her. She saw her cousin standing at the door with her eyes lowered, thinking about something. She asked.
Xiao Zeyu smiled, his eyes gleaming with starlight. As expected, it was Qing’er.
“Should I not shout?”
Luan Hong saw Su Qing’s awkward expression and covered her mouth in panic. She asked Su Qing in a low voice, “Were you eavesdropping just now?”
Su Qing felt even more awkward when her cousin asked her directly. She did not say anything and hurriedly walked forward with her head lowered. She was used to taking giant strides and had forgotten that she had changed into a long dress that bound her legs. When she took a step forward, she was tripped by the dress and fell to the ground.
When Xiao Zeyu heard Luan Hong’s shout, he had already left the door. When he saw Su Qing fall, he immediately rushed over to save the damsel in distress and hugged her tightly.
“Wifey, be careful.”
Xiao Zeyu whispered into Su Qing’s ear and even winked at her mischievously. His smile was as bright as the spring breeze, and he even tightened his grip on Su Qing’s arms, allowing her delicate and soft body to lean into his embrace.
Su Qing glared at him and reprimanded him, “You lecher.”
“Qing’er, I only want you.”
Xiao Zeyu met Su Qing’s coquettish gaze and smiled until flowers bloomed on the road. His eyes were filled with love, and his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.
Su Qing’s face was dyed red by Xiao Zeyu’s vulgar words. This man was the best at flirting!
“Aiya, this dress doesn’t suit you. I told your mother, but she didn’t listen.”
Su Hanxuan’s heart thumped in fear when he saw his daughter almost fall. Fortunately, his future son-in-law caught his daughter nimbly. Otherwise, what would happen if she fell and hurt her face?
“Yeah, this dress is uncomfortable.”
Su Qing pushed Xiao Zeyu away. Even though his embrace and scent made her infatuated, it was not her personality to be intimate in public. She did not like this dress at all. In front of everyone, she directly tore off the hem of the dress. A hundred taels of fine brocade was ruined just like that.
Xiao Zeyu looked at Su Qing with a smile, eyes full of love. His Su Qing was not the kind of lady in the boudoir. Those weak ladies would not go out or enter the door for a day. They would walk like the wind and swing willows with their feet bound. Such a woman would not even be able to care for herself, let alone fight.
His Qing’er was still the best. She was brave and heroic. To be able to ride alongside him, she was a heroine!
Su Hanxuan’s jaw almost dropped when he saw his daughter’s rude behavior. He subconsciously turned to look at Xiao Zeyu, afraid he would return the goods!
“I’ll go and take a look at the dishes!”
Su Qing tore off the hem of her dress and immediately felt refreshed. She said to her father and walked away with giant strides.
Her back was as straight as a pine tree, and her steps were vigorous and powerful, bringing along the wind. Xiao Zeyu was so mesmerized that he couldn’t bear to look away. He just smiled as he watched her leave the Green Pine Pavilion.
Seeing Xiao Zeyu’s attitude towards his daughter, Su Hanxuan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t dislike her.
This was a match made in heaven!
“Thank you for saving me, Young Master Ji.”
Luan Hong saluted Xiao Zeyu, thanking him for saving her from the tiger’s den.
“Cousin, you don’t have to be so polite. I’ve already changed back to my original name of Xiao Zeyu.”
After Xiao Zeyu took over the Xiao Family Army, he was prepared to return to his original name. Today was an opportunity. In the future, Ji Shuisheng will no longer exist. He was now a good son of the Xiao Family, the commander of the Xiao Family Army, Xiao Zeyu.
“What? Then... Thank you, Young Master Xiao.”
Luan Hong was momentarily surprised, but her reaction was fast enough to change her words immediately.
Soon, the dishes and wine were served. There were no servants or maids, and all the escorts came to help. It was pretty lively. n.)O/-v-/E))1--b-.1..n
Luan Qingshan was happy for his brother-in-law. At the same time, he was even more worried about his daughter’s marriage. What should he do? Su Qingyou had already arranged a wedding, but his daughter was no longer too young.
Luan Qingshan was not willing to marry his daughter to an ordinary person. He did not know anyone before, but now he knew the Xiao Family Army’s supreme commander. He could not miss such a good opportunity.
Thus, Luan Qingshan started to ask Xiao Zeyu,
“Young Master Xiao, do you have any good men in your army?”
Xiao Zeyu was extremely intelligent. He could guess what Luan Qingshan was thinking and asked with a smile,
“There are countless good men in my army. Some are capable of literature and martial arts, brave and resourceful..”
