Beloved at the Door - v2 Chapter 7
Di Jing put down the cup, raised her eyes to meet her, and said seriously, “What’s wrong with marrying me? Since you don’t have anyone you like, and you don’t want to be the concubine of the Ninth Prince, it’s better to marry me. I can protect you for life.” ”
She stayed again and looked at his expression carefully, showing no joking, her attitude was so cautious that she couldn’t believe it.
“But…you don’t like me.”
He lowered his eyes and whispered, “What if I say I like it?”
“Huh?” She was stunned again, what did he say? Did she hear me right? He…he said he likes her?
This is really surprising, he actually likes her? She was stupid on the spot.
“You always want to marry, and I always want to marry. Instead of letting the person above Hu Li gossip to be engaged for us, it is better to choose a strong one yourself, don’t you think?”
She blinked, still staring at him blankly.
He continued: “I have a third grade official residence. Both my parents died early and there is no sister-in-law in my family. I only plan to marry one person, and I don’t want to take a concubine. Live as you want…” His voice was gentle and muffled, with a soothing power, like whispering in the breeze, and singing like leaves in the forest.
There is no false and untrue sweet words, and all the most practical words are said, just like analyzing the case, following the good and temptation, telling her the pros and cons.
“If you marry the Ninth Prince, you can only be a concubine; if you marry Young Master Pan, he can’t protect you. It’s better to choose someone who can be a regular wife and can protect you. The benefits and harms of this will be cost-effective for you, and you won’t lose money. ”
He knew that she was not a naive girl, nor did he believe in the sweet words of a man. If he wanted to convince her, he had to show off the temptation to tell her the vision of marriage, so that she would be moved.
Shangguan Yan gradually came back to his senses, listening to it, there was a kind of throbbing that even she didn’t understand for no reason, and a slight ripple was set off between her chest, her feet not touching the ground, and her whole body lightly floating.
“Um… it sounds… it seems pretty good…”
He actually said he wanted to marry her? Strangely, she was not repulsive at all, and even a little moved. She told herself that it was because the reason he analyzed was correct, so she didn’t object.
Probably the only two of them in the world are talking about their relatives as if they were discussing the case, so serious, without the ambiguity and embarrassment between men and women.
“What do you think?” In the end, he still had to wait for her answer. At this crucial moment, his palms were quietly clenched.
It seemed as if it had been three lifetimes before she waited until she spoke.
“What about Concubine An? You are not afraid to offend her? Even if you are a third-rank official, but the other party is the prince and concubine, it will be bad for you in the future.”
She didn’t refuse, and she didn’t say yes, but she was concerned about his career. Although she was worried about dragging him down, she didn’t use this reason to reject him. This has made Di Jing see hope.
“Just leave this to me to worry about.”
He used a cautious tone and a serious attitude to ask her not to worry, but to leave the matter to him. There was not much rhetoric, and some were just a simple promise, but the words were as heavy as a mountain.
If it is someone else, she might not believe it, but the object is him, she believes.
If you have any difficulties, come to me, no matter who it is, I have my own way to deal with it.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered what he had said to her.
By this time, he was still the same, unchanged.
She suddenly understood why she was hesitant to Pan Zeming. Although Pan Zeming was good, she couldn’t reassure her. On the surface, she put aside the marriage temporarily in order to keep her filial piety, but in fact she gave her an excuse for delaying her filial piety. On the contrary, she only increased her distress, and the man in front of her gave her a lifelong promise of shelter from wind and rain. When she was most hesitant, it seemed to give her a reassurance.
“How?” he asked.
She came back to her senses and saw him waiting for her answer, and she couldn’t help asking herself if she wanted to agree to him? No matter how straightforward and unrestrained she was on weekdays, she couldn’t help but raise her daughter’s coy.
He asked her so clearly, how could she be ashamed to say yes? This is a major event in getting married! Generally speaking, the marriage of a girl’s family has to be negotiated again and again. How can it be settled in the carriage? Why shouldn’t she just agree to it so easily? If she agrees, she seems to be very cheap instead.
This is like doing business. A good product always has to be negotiated again and again, so that the buyer will wait and be impatient, then it will appear to be valuable and the buyer will cherish it more, right?
“I don’t believe you have a way.” She deliberately made things difficult.
He heard what she meant, his eyes brightened.
“If so?”
“You can’t say anything, just show it to me.” Her tone returned to playfulness, just like when the two of them had a quarrel.
He looked at her deeply and only said one word. “it is good.”
Hua Qianqian and the others knew about Shangguan Yan entering prison, leaving prison, and helping Master Di to investigate the case. Although Bai Yuxiao was an undercover arrester, she could not leave the palace too far, so she could only provide information about the imperial court. On the other hand, Hua Qianqian and Yeqing secretly searched for the news, and gathered clues.
At the same time, they also informed the second sister Gong Wuhuan in Jiangnan with a flying pigeon: the two sisters’ brother-in-law’s bow and whistling can not be underestimated, and can be a great help. The north and the south rely on letters to pass on the news secretly. .
This time Hua Qianqian and Yeqing went out to investigate the case again, and didn’t come back until the next day. Once they came back, they learned from the junior sister that the master sister was summoned by An Fei. People secretly discuss.
Hua Qianqian and Bai Yuxiao both believed that An Fei would never give up. They helped the elder sister to find a way to guard against An Fei.
But they were anxious here, but Shangguan Yan was not anxious at all, because since that day Di Jing said that she was going to marry her, all she had in mind was him.
I don’t know what’s going on. The person who hadn’t thought about it before suddenly became a possible marriage partner, and the person’s shadow seemed to have taken root in her mind, making her think of him at every turn.
And this thought seemed as if I couldn’t hold it back, and the more I thought about it, the more problems came up.
Does he really like her? Why did you skip to discussing the details of marriage without asking carefully?
Or is he for loyalty? Just because he wanted to marry, and she happened to have to marry, so she was chosen? Is this too hasty? Will he regret it afterwards?
Her mind has always been flexible, and she can see things clearly, why suddenly she couldn’t understand when she came to him? And the more I thought about it, the more I was confused, I started to become worried about gains and losses, I wanted to ask but didn’t dare to ask, I was afraid that I would be disappointed after knowing the answer.
Where is her cool and straightforward? When I first wanted to marry Pan Zeming, I didn’t have so much scruples, but now I am starting to worry. I think about him during the day and also at night. He said that it’s good to let him worry about it. Does this mean that he has already thought very clearly, not casually Decided to marry her?
Shangguan Yan has lived for twenty years. It was only then that she gave birth to her daughter who was worried about love. She could break her head for the case, but she couldn’t guess Di Jing’s heart. This made her entangled. She had never been a lover. The man was so sad.
She found out that she cared about his thoughts so much that she didn’t want to see him do it casually. If so, she would rather not marry. In the end, she couldn’t sit still anymore, and instead of being so upset, it was better to go to him and ask for clarity.
So she ran to look for Di Jing, and the Yamen official said that he had gone out, so she waited in front of his study, and when she heard that he was back, she immediately took the initiative to look for him.
Di Jing saw Shangguan Yan coming from a distance, and her clear eyes were full of her. When he thought of marrying her, he was very happy, but he didn’t dare to express his desire too obviously, so he was afraid of being scared. she was.
There is a smile in his eyes, hoping to walk towards her quietly as usual, but his steps speed up unconsciously.
“Master Di.” Seeing her bowing his hands to him, his attitude towards him remained the same. He thought it would be fine. After he became a kiss, she would always be close to him.
“What’s wrong with me?” He looked down at her, his expression was different from the past, with a touch of gentleness, even his tone was rare and gentle.
Shangguan Yan looked around, afraid that there would be other people around and could not speak well.
Di Jing raised a small smile. “Don’t worry, I will let them go down when I see you coming. If you are not at ease, let’s go to the study and say.”
“It’s okay, just say it here.” The space in the study is too private, so it’s better to be outside the house.
“Did you encounter any problems?”
She hesitated, then nodded and said, “I thought of a question, so I came to you to talk about it.”
He was afraid that she had to take care of her own affairs and did not discuss with him. Now she came to him and said that she started to treat him as her own, which was very good.
“Go ahead, don’t hesitate, I’ll stand it up if something happens.”
She hesitated for a while, and finally decided that it would be better to tell him.
“It’s like this. Although the adults are very loyal and willing to take the responsibility, marriage is not a child’s play. I still find it wrong after thinking about it. In fact, I still have a solution here. The adults also know that Princess Mausoleum and I have a good relationship. , She thought of a way, and if she had to, she would let the mausoleum take me into the house as a concubine—”
“No!”
His sudden stop of drinking made her startled, and she saw that the originally gentle and smiling handsome face suddenly sank, the sharp piercing eyes projected from her eyes were extremely sharp, and her tone was threatening and gloomy.
