Zheng Yuqing was led by Xiuxiu to the commander's office. When she saw Xiang Xiaoqiang, her face turned red and she was extremely embarrassed.
She turned around and said warmly to Xiuxiu:
"Xiuxiu... please stay away for a moment. I have something important... to report to Mr. Xiang."
Xiu Xiu was stunned for a moment. Seeing how red-faced she was, she felt sour and was about to leave. Xiang Xiaoqiang said in a deep voice:
"Xiuxiu, you are here."
Then he said to Zheng Yucong:
"Miss Zheng, Shangxiu is my confidant and my fiancée. I think there is no need to avoid it."
Xiuxiu lowered her head, feeling warm in her heart.
Zheng Yucong was also stunned and blushed even more. But she stared at Xiang Xiaoqiang, still blushing and said reluctantly:
"Sir Xiang, this matter is related to your future, and... there are also some family matters of mine. I hope you can keep them secret from me."
Xiang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment and winked at Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu felt much more comfortable at this time and bowed to exit.
Zheng Yucong watched Xiuxiu exit, close the door, turned around, took a few steps forward with a blushing face, and then bowed deeply to Xiang Xiaoqiang to the ground.
Changyi is a more solemn gift than ten thousand blessings. In traditional Chinese etiquette, it is second only to kneeling down.
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at Miss Zheng with her arms stretched out and her hands touching the ground. His heart moved, but his appearance was still cold, and he didn't say a word, waiting for her to raise her body.
Because Xiang Xiaoqiang can see that it is more effective to act cold to a young lady like Zheng Yucong.
Zheng Yucong stretched her arms flat, folded her palms together, bent over ninety degrees, straightened her legs, and raised her buttocks. This posture was very difficult. She imagined that she would be busy with such a big gift.
"Please get up", but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all.
Zheng Yucong gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to get up even if Master Xiang refused to let her get up. Firstly, because Master Xiang saved her yesterday; secondly, because her father had done something wrong to Master Xiang, and she wanted to apologize on his behalf; thirdly, she still wanted to apologize to him.
To represent the whole family, ask for help from adults.
Xiang Xiaoqiang admired Zheng Yucong's figure for a while, his heart softened, and he still said calmly:
"Miss Zheng, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you need to give me such a big gift?"
Zheng Yucong still bowed to the ground and said with a trembling cry:
"Your Majesty... the little girl takes the place of my father and apologizes to Your Majesty Xiang!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was shocked: She still took the initiative to say it!
He originally thought that Zheng Yucong was so humble because he thanked him for saving him last night. It turned out to be this! Xiang Xiaoqiang's feelings about Zheng Yucong suddenly improved and he sighed:
"Miss, please get up... please sit down and talk!"
"The little girl doesn't dare..." Zheng Yucong slowly straightened up, her face turned red, and her feet swayed slightly, "The little girl doesn't dare to sit down, so let's talk standing up."
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her and nodded.
Zheng Yucong, blushing and speechless, had just asked Xiang Xiaoqiang if he had received two strange gifts. Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled slightly and looked at her deeply.
Zheng Yucong's mind went blank for a moment. It took him a while to react, lowered his head and murmured:
"Xiang... Xiangsir, you already know..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded and said:
"Well, I understand...Miss Zheng, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Zheng Yucong mustered up his courage, raised his head and said:
"Sir Xiang, you are doubting why Yuhuacong sent you such an expensive gift so quickly..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at her and smiled. This time the smile was not so cold and showed some encouragement. He nodded and said:
"I know. I also know that Yuhuacong is in your name."
Zheng Yuqing stared blankly at Mr. Xiang, who had deep eyes, graceful bearing, and had mastered everything. He looked so powerful, and felt that his heart was about to get drunk...
"Miss Zheng," Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her with admiration and said with a faint smile, "you know, since yesterday, my attitude towards you has been very cold. Yes, I saved you, but I am still very cold towards you.
.Because at that time, in my eyes, you were just the daughter of a political enemy, the daughter of someone who tried every means to bring me down. I saved you just because I was a man... But now, you walk in and treat me
Confessing this, I have to say... your impression in my heart has changed. If you are willing, from now on, I will no longer regard you as the daughter of a political enemy, but as a... friend."
Xiang Xiaoqiang said, bowed slightly, stretched out his right hand forward, smiled, and looked at Zheng Yucong deeply.
...His grandma’s, it’s so perfect! So cool!!
Zheng Yuqing looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang almost dizzy, she was completely lost... Mr. Xiang's friend... Mr. Xiang regards me as a friend... Oh my god...
Her brain had completely stopped, and her feet seemed to be controlled by others, and she moved forward in a trance... I don't know how long she walked. She stretched out her small hand and timidly touched the adult's big hand, like a
The peasant girl went to the palace to pay homage to the prince.
Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly used his backhand to hold Zheng Yucong's delicate little hand in his palm.
Zheng Yucong suddenly felt a warm, safe, and powerful force injected into her body. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: Okay... Mr. Xiang is here, everything is no longer a problem...
Xiang Xiaoqiang resisted the urge to pull her into his arms. He knew he couldn't do this now. Although Miss Zheng was temporarily short-circuited, she was not Qiu Qiu. If he did this, it might be self-defeating.
The most important thing now is not to push her down, but to make her a card in his hand... Besides, although she is very good, she is Zheng Gongyin's daughter after all, what should she do if she is pushed down?
"Sir Xiang..." Zheng Yucong blushed like a soldering iron, mustered up her courage, and said hesitantly, "You... you are the most capable person in the entire Ming Dynasty... no conspiracy or trick will work... in front of you..."
…”
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with her performance, motioned her to sit down, held his forehead, and said seriously:
"To be honest, now I am thinking about whether I should tell His Majesty about this when I go to the palace to teach His Majesty later."
Zheng Yuqing was so ashamed that she gritted her teeth and begged:
"I beg your lord...Yu Cong...please...my lord, Yu Cong, on behalf of my father, my brother, and our whole family...please apologize to your lord, beg your lord..."
She slowly stood up, took two steps back, and gave another deep bow. Her head and face were buried deeply between her arms, sobbing.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed for a while:
"Sigh... It seems that in our Ming Dynasty, women are really better than men... In the dignified Changping Marquis Mansion, the most knowledgeable, courageous and responsible person is a girl like you."
Zheng Yuqing didn't even look up and said with sobs:
"Master Xiang... Yu Cong has no knowledge and responsibility... Yu Cong will only use the troubles caused by his family to embarrass Master Xiang... Yu Cong knows that he is unreasonable and his demands are not reasonable... Yu Cong
She can only rely on the fact that she is a little girl and the master is a man, so she is shameless here... There is no way, sir, that is Yu Cong's father, brother... Yu Cong's father has offended His Majesty last time, and now this time
, our Zheng family has no future... Mr. Xiang... As long as Mr. Xiang lets us go, Yu Cong... Yu Cong can do anything..."
When she said the last sentence, she was so embarrassed that she almost crawled into the ground, but there was an inexplicable sense of pleasure in her heart.
When Xiang Xiaoqiang heard her last sentence, he coughed dryly, and his heart was itched by her.
...Isn’t this girl really interested in me? Why would she say such ambiguous words to others?
Xiang Xiaoqiang took a deep breath and sighed:
"Oh... I'm really sorry for you... Now, please tell me first, why did you run away from home?... Hey, you get up first... It's easy to have cerebral thrombosis if you turn around..."
Zheng Yucong didn't dare not listen. She stood up with a blushing face and contradicted her father and brother. In anger, her father betrothed her to Prince Shang's Mansion and told her the story of her night escape.
Moreover, she had the courage to say how she defended Xiang Xiaoqiang, how her brother insisted that she liked Xiang Xiaoqiang, and how she simply said that it was not shameful to like Xiang Xiaoqiang... these words were all spoken out.
Then, she secretly looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, her heart beating wildly, and she was so embarrassed that she could hardly stand.
On the one hand, she was willing to go all out, but on the other hand, she also secretly wanted to impress Xiang Xiaoqiang with these words.
Xiang Xiaoqiang opened his mouth wide and stared at her blankly, feeling extremely embarrassed, and his face gradually turned red.
The two looked at each other for an unknown amount of time. Xiang Xiaoqiang took a sip of water from the cup, choked for a while, and then sighed slowly:
"Alas, Xiang is so virtuous and talented that he can win the favor of the young lady..."
Zheng Yuqing was stunned. What she said originally was just a rebuttal to her brother. She didn't directly say that she liked Xiang Xiaoqiang. But now that Xiang Xiaoqiang said this, it was equivalent to confirming that she liked him.
.
But this is better. Zheng Yucong felt a mixture of shame and joy in her heart. She used to be 70% admired and 30% secretly in love with Xiang Xiaoqiang, but now it has become 30% admired and 70% secretly in love with Xiang Xiaoqiang. No, it is no longer a secret love...
It's not that Miss Zheng has never had a crush on someone else when she has grown up, but this is the first time she has acted so boldly. In normal times, in a quiet life without any disturbance, she would never dare to do this, even thinking about it
It's embarrassing to think about it.
But in these ten hours, I experienced one after another a storm - first I had a big quarrel with my father and brother, then I was promised to Shang Rong by my father, then I was imprisoned by my father's troops, then I was about to live in Prince Shang's Mansion, and then I made an impromptu decision.
Escaped from home, climbed through windows and stairs, almost froze to death after wading into an icy pond, lost a suitcase while changing clothes in the ruins, and experienced the cold, shame, anger, and despair for an hour naked, and was later raped by several homeless people.
After discovering that he was almost gang-raped, Mr. Xiang suddenly fell from the sky, had a fight, and killed four people in a row. Finally, he put down his face and cried and begged, and Mr. Xiang took him back to the People's Guard, and arranged for the Ryukyu Princess to sleep with him.
sleep……
This series of crazy experiences is enough to make the most docile and gentle lady do the craziest things. What's more, she, Zheng Yuqing, is not usually a good girl.
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood that his opportunity had come. As long as he captured Miss Zheng's heart, he would win this matter. Not only this matter, he would have the upper hand in fighting Zheng Gongyin from now on.
...It would be great if I really married Miss Zheng! She is good-looking, has a good figure, is smart and sensible, her natal family is rich, and her relationship with Zhu Yourong is so good... The most important thing is that once you marry him
Daughter, Zheng Gongyin will almost never go against herself again...
Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly settled the account and thought it was very worthwhile.
He buried his face deeply in his hands, "crying with joy," making a soft sobbing sound, sniffing again and again. When he raised his face, his eyes were already red with some "tear stains."
Already.
Zheng Yucong said "Ah", feeling ashamed and moved, and softly shouted:
"Xiang Sir..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at her affectionately, said nothing for a long time, then blushed and murmured:
"Miss, I... I am willing to do anything for you... I... I will see His Majesty later, and I will not mention a word... For you, I... I am willing to bear the infamy of the whole world,
I am willing to take all the blame... As long as you think that I am a good person in your heart..."
