Chapter 274 Those who hurt people’s hearts are also hurt
Prince An was always evil-minded and ruthless, and Xingrong offended him. After getting the emperor's orders, he left the palace, threw the princess directly into the car, and sent her to Tianmu Temple, completely ignoring Xingrong's howling in pain from his ribs.
Of course, he would not tell the emperor that the princess's ribs were broken again.
Of course Qi Erlang knew the news. When he inquired, Lin Zhixiu was at An's house. He immediately took the things he had prepared and knocked on the door of An's house.
Today, Uncle An is not here, so Aunt An knows that Qi Erlang is here...
Oh my god, Mijiro in red!
Come to see your niece?!
She looked at Lin Zhixiu excitedly and didn't know what to do.
Qi Erlang, that is really a rare and stunning young man in the world, with noble status and ability! It is obvious that he has taken a liking to his niece when he comes to visit like this!
If the girls in the capital knew about it, they would really be jealous and crazy!
She blinked, especially wanting Lin Zhixiu to talk to her. However, Lin Zhixiu looked calm! And she didn't even mention anything that Meijiro asked her about!
Aunt An felt so anxious! But it was not easy to ask directly about this kind of thing, and it was not easy to tell others...
I couldn't help but blame my husband, why couldn't he come back today because something happened? I didn't even have anyone to talk to!
Ren Baihui, who had seen a lot of the world, wandered around the room with her stomach bulging.
Oh, it would be great if he married my Xiu'er!
They are truly a "couple of gods and gods"! They will be a topic of discussion for many years to come!
Qi Erlang is not wearing a red shirt today, but a low-key blue shirt. His face is as white as jade, gentle and warm. His two eyes are bright and bright, like bright gems.
When he looked at Lin Zhixiu, the light emanating from his body made Lin Zhixiu blush and her heart skip a beat.
Qi Erlang stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin Zhixiu, "Miss Lin, your kindness and wisdom enabled Qi Xuan to come to the Duke of Qi's mansion and overcome this difficulty... Qi Xuan will remember such kindness in his heart!"
Lin Zhixiu's voice became gentler, "Young Master Qi, you don't have to be like this, please sit down."
Qi Erlang sat there, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, and told her the news he had just received.
Lin Zhixiu nodded and said, "Now, it can be said that the matter has come to an end. Mr. Qi did a beautiful job! It was very natural and left no excuses."
Qi Erlang said softly, "Miss Lin gave me all the ready-made things. If I can't do it...how can I have the honor to see you?"
Lin Zhixiu's face turned red again and she said, "So, is it over here?"
Qi Erlang's eyes sharpened and he said, "It's not that cheap. You don't know that later on, she planned to have my entire family raped and executed..."
He told Xingrong about using Longpao to frame the Qi family for rebellion, "However, now that things have happened, the crisis in my family has been alleviated. Therefore, I will be more careful and will not rush in."
Lin Zhixiu shook his head and smiled, "Oh, if we talk about this Princess Xingrong, let alone her methods, her temper is quite ruthless! If this is a prince, he will bring disaster to the country and the people..."
Qi Erlang looked at Lin Zhixiu with deep eyes and said nothing for a long time.
Lin Zhixiu's back felt numb, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Qi Erlang took out two small boxes, "Today, one is here to tell you the news. The other is, I want to express my gratitude to you! And... I want to..." His handsome face was pink.
Lin Zhixiu took one look and didn't dare to look again.
Qi Erlang looked at her and said, "Miss Zhixiu, you are not an ordinary lady. When I speak, I will be more open and honest. Don't blame...me..."
He turned his head to one side, his face turned red, and his ears were red! He laughed twice, "I never thought that one day, I would say this to a girl!"
Lin Zhixiu's hands sweated nervously, "You, needless to say, it's true!"
Qi Erlang "I want to say..."
He opened a box and inside was a banknote.
Lin Zhixiu glanced at it, "One hundred thousand taels?!"
He then opened another one, and inside was a pearl hairpin, with a simple style, and a huge pearl inlaid on the silver carved rod. Judging from the color, it was already very old. I can only imagine how grand it looked back then...
Lin Zhixiu looked at it without saying anything.
Qi Erlang said softly, "This bank note is a thank-you gift from the Qi family to the girl. The Qi family and the bank have made an agreement that when the bank note is withdrawn, it can be exchanged in any way the girl wants. And this one..."
He picked up the simple beaded hairpin with his right hand and caressed the bead with his left hand. The diffused luster reflected on his slender fingers. The picture was very beautiful.
"This hairpin was given to my great-grandmother by my great-grandmother when she gave birth to my grandfather. Later, it was passed to my grandmother and then to my mother. I really hope that you...can accept it."
When he said this, his heart was pounding, he felt dizzy, and his ears felt hot, as if he had drunk too much old wine.
He really didn't know that he would have such a day and feel like this...
"Miss Lin, I have been troubled by my appearance since I was a child, and I have a very bad temper. Sometimes I do very bad things. But I promise you, if you accept it, my life will be..."
Lin Zhixiu was in a state of confusion and was speechless for a long time. When she heard this, she said, "Master Qi! These two things are too precious. Zhixiu cannot afford it." Qi Erlang turned back and looked at her, with friendship in his eyes.
, it was clear and unmistakable, "Miss Lin! I have made you hate me before. I will never do that to you again. In the past, I also hung out in the Flower House... I promise that I will never do that again now or in the future!"
Lin Zhixiu's face was as red as a red cloth and she murmured, "I believe Mr. Qi..."
For such a man to express his friendship to her... it would be a lie to say that she was not moved, hesitated, or wanted to accept him!
But...the past, although it is almost invisible, it has existed.
...What's more, the entanglement between himself and Zhutou is getting deeper and deeper.
She thought of that day, his hugs and kisses...
He made up his mind, "Mr. Qi, I'm afraid you don't understand... I have something to pursue and something to do. I'm not like other women. I just want a good husband so that I can spend my life perfectly. I
I can't bear to accept your gratitude, but I can't stand either of these two things. I want to exchange this gratitude for another one..."
Qi Erlang knew that she would not accept it, and he knew that if she did not accept it, that would be no.
For a moment, I felt very distressed, "You can think about it again..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Mr. Qi, I want your friendship, and I can get your help when I need it in the future!"
Qi Erlang looked at her sadly, "You know, whether you choose a silver ticket or a pearl hairpin, I will do whatever you want me to do in the future."
Lin Zhixiu shook his head, "I know, but I made a choice."
Qi Erlang raised his eyebrows and asked with a slight smile, "Is it because of His Highness King Cheng?"
Lin Zhixiu "..."
She couldn't answer.
Qi Erlang lowered his eyelids and long eyelashes to hide his mood, "Even if I have intentions, I still know a thing or two."
Lin Zhixiu wanted to say no, but she couldn't say it.
Qi Erlang said, "Your Highness, King Cheng, we worked together in the northwest. I have to say that in some aspects, I admire him very much! It's just that he often can't help himself."
Lin Zhixiu had nothing to say and half lowered his head.
Qi Erlang said, "This is not as good as me! Think about it again..." He started to be lazy again...
Lin Zhixiu raised her head and smiled, revealing her fair neck.
Qi Erlang's face was smiling, but his heart was sad, and his eyes were red. "Today, I express my feelings to you. I hope you will think about it again. No matter what you decide, you will have my lifelong friendship and care! Although
Before, it was you who took care of me."
The candlelight flickers, handsome men and beautiful women speak softly, making this boundless night gentle and beautiful...
As a result, Qi Erlang will think of this night countless times in the years to come.
Lin Zhixiu stayed at her uncle's house for a few days and finally wanted to return to Lin's house.
When she returned home, she heard that Lin Zhirong's marriage to the Wang family had been decided.
The two families invited official media to formally go through the process.
In the past few days, the old man had already brought over the dowry for Lin Zhirong, and Mrs. Yuan watched eagerly as Mr. Huang took it away.
Old Mrs. Lin was looking at her account, thinking about what she should add to her beloved granddaughter.
In the evening, everyone had dinner together, and the men of the Lin family were at the table next to them.
Lin immediately told the old man, "Today, the emperor has given marriages to two princes, several county princes, and two princesses."
When Lin Zhixiu heard this, she was so shocked that she almost dropped her chopsticks.
Old Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Oh? What the hell are you?"
Lin Ji picked up what he knew and said it.
"The sixth master's chief concubine is the eldest granddaughter of the Jiang Zheng family. The seventh master's chief concubine is the princess of Heqing..."
Lin Zhixiu felt her face getting cold. She held the chopsticks tightly in her hands and trembled slightly. She lowered her eyes and looked at the dishes on the plate, not daring to raise her head.
After Lin Zhirong's marriage was decided, he became extremely cold and picky. At this moment, when she heard her uncle mention "Seventh Master..." she quickly glanced at Lin Zhixiu...
Ha! I thought that with a good face, I could seduce the prince! Bah! Go ahead and dream! This is a slap in the face, right?
Lin Zhixiu picked up something unknown, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
She could feel Lin Zhirong looking at her.
Sure enough, Lin Zhirong asked innocently, "Uncle, His Highness King Cheng, we met outside our courtyard when we were at the Summer Palace a few days ago! He went to the Summer Palace with his eldest brother and us. Your Highness is so brave! Isn't that right?
Ah third sister?!"
She looked at Lin Zhixiu sarcastically.
Lin Zhixiu concentrated her mind. Although she had been mentally prepared before, she did not expect that the news would hit her so hard.
She swallowed the thing and nodded, "That's what the third sister said."
Lin Zhirong was still not satisfied and wanted to say something. The old man over there started talking to Lin Ji again. As a girl, she couldn't speak when her elders were speaking.
He could only look at Lin Zhixiu sideways and snorted softly.
Huang watched quietly, not paying attention to it these days. What happened?
It was with great difficulty that I finished the meal.
Lin Zhixiu walked back silently. Along the way, one foot was high and the other was low.
Suddenly, I regretted that I should not have discussed the matter with him for the sake of my daughter's family's face, but I should have gotten so close to him.
Now, what to do...
Dongyun, knowing that his girl and His Highness King Cheng... didn't dare to say anything, he only stayed by his side silently.
After entering the courtyard, Lin Zhixiu remained silent and returned to her bedroom alone, lying on the bed and crying.
This was the first time since her rebirth that she felt helpless and heartbroken.
What she didn't know was that over there, Li Cheng knew the news and immediately rode into the palace.
Make a fuss with the emperor and refuse this marriage.
The emperor was so angry that he was beaten several times and thrown home.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Cheng came back limping!
"Dad! If my son doesn't marry He Qing, my son will marry the third girl of the Lin family, Lin Zhixiu. Mr. Lin?! Are you here too!? Just in time, tell your father to let your Lin Zhixiu marry me!"
