Mr. Su carefully observed his words and suddenly asked, "General Zhao is rarely here. Why don't you meet your ninth niece before leaving?"

"That's fine." Zhao Boyang nodded.

Mr. Su Er frowned, feeling that this was not very polite, but since his eldest brother brought it up on his own initiative, he didn't know what to say.

I had to let someone pass it on so that Su Yiqing could prepare.

As a result, a maid came to report that Miss Jiu was frightened yesterday and felt unwell and could not get out of bed.

The two gentlemen suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Just now they said that Su Yiqing was fine, but in the next moment Su Yiqing was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed. Doesn't this mean they don't care enough about their niece?

Uncle Yuanping's house is prosperous, so of course it's normal that he can't take care of his niece who lives next door. Everyone knows it, but it's hard to say it out loud.

Zhao Boyang stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for my presumption, but I hope my two uncles will allow me to visit Miss Ninth."

At this time, it was difficult to say no, so the two masters of the Su family had no choice but to lead the way.

It was inconvenient for the two uncles to enter the niece's boudoir, and even Zhao Boyang was inconvenient to enter. After standing in the yard and being embarrassed for a while, the eldest man asked the mother-in-law to go in and ask to see how Su Yiqing's health was. If there was nothing serious,

Can you come out for a while?

After the mother-in-law went in and made inquiries, a message came from inside that Miss Ninth was fine. General Zhao Youranting was asked to wait a moment and she would be here soon.

Hearing the message from the mother-in-law, the two masters of the Su family breathed a sigh of relief. The niece did not refuse at all, nor did she let Zhao Boyang enter the boudoir without knowing the rules. Instead, she chose to stay in a relatively empty pavilion around it, so that others would not be affected if the message spread.

Said that the daughter of the Su family was unruly.

In recent years, the daughters of the Su family have gotten married and have had accidents one after another. There really cannot be any stigma anymore, otherwise, let alone the remaining girls of the Su family, even the next generation will have to be talked about.

Zhao Boyang just sat down in the pavilion and took a look at the surrounding scenery. There were many flowers and trees planted around the small pavilion. However, it was autumn at this time, and the leaves had all fallen, and the flowers and trees had moved away, creating a desolate and desolate scene.

Bujin frowned a little, it seemed not good to talk in such an environment. The environment affects the atmosphere.

Even if he didn't like this pavilion, he could only sit down and wait.

Before it was time to burn the incense, Su Yiqing came slowly, accompanied by the maid and her mother-in-law.

At this time, she was dressed plainly, with no makeup on her face, but she was still in good spirits. She didn't look weak.

"General Zhao, you're polite." Su Yiqing bowed her knees with the support of the maid.

"Miss Ninth, you don't have to go far. Please take a seat." Zhao Boyang quickly stood up to greet her.

After Su Yiqing slowly sat down, she winked at the maids and women, who immediately lowered their hands and stepped back.

As soon as the maid and mother-in-law left, Su Yiqing curled her lips and smiled.

Suddenly showing such a smile, Zhao Boyang's heart sank and he whispered: "Miss Ninth...Is there nothing serious about your health?"

"I'm not sick, I just want to be quiet. I took advantage of the fright to steal a moment of leisure. But I didn't expect... General Zhao was interested." Su Yiqing looked at Wen Wen with a smile.

But he seemed extremely indifferent.

Such indifference made Zhao Boyang's heart sink even more, and he couldn't help but say: "Miss Ninth, yesterday, I really didn't want to..."

"General Zhao, don't say more. Yesterday I was unreasonable and made things difficult for others. I hope the general won't be offended." Su Yiqing gently interrupted Zhao Boyang's words, but the smile on her face became a little lighter.

Zhao Boyang opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't find the words to say, so he only said, "I'm sorry."

Su Yiqing said calmly: "General Zhao, I should be the one who says I'm sorry. Speaking of which, General Zhao came to see me and said some things before he went on the expedition. I didn't think carefully at the time and gave the general wrong information. I'm really sorry.

Very.”

"What wrong information?" Zhao Boyang's face sank again.

Su Yiqing said word for word: "I don't want to marry the general from the beginning to the end."

"Miss Jiu, I know what happened yesterday frightened you, and I can understand your resentment." Zhao Boyang said sincerely, "It's my fault."

"I'm not saying angry words." Su Yiqing said softly: "If the general is an ordinary person and cares about me like this, I will naturally be very touched. Unfortunately, the general is not destined to be an ordinary man. He needs a woman who can stand side by side with you.

, and I don’t want to be the woman behind a successful man.”

Zhao Boyang's eyes flashed and he said firmly: "Since Miss Ninth believes in my ability, please believe that I am not a man who cannot protect my wife and children."

Su Yiqing sighed softly, and instead of answering Zhao Boyang's question, she asked: "General, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Miss Ninth's intelligence puts many men to shame." Zhao Boyang was telling the truth. This was evident from the time he refused to marry. This is a family of courageous and knowledgeable daughters.

"General Zhao thinks highly of me too much. I am just an ordinary woman who is occasionally witty and has no big plans." Su Yiqing sighed, "My dear eldest brother was harmed without any explanation. This matter

It has been in my heart for many years, and I have been paying attention, but I have never found any results. If I were really smart, I am afraid I would have noticed it long ago. Compared with other sisters in the house, I am not as good as the top eldest sister. I can only say

It’s not like you don’t even have self-knowledge.”

"Miss Ninth is still young, why should she force herself?" Zhao Boyang comforted, "I believe good and evil will be rewarded in the end."

Su Yiqing lowered her eyes, and suddenly felt that speaking in such a formal way was too tiring, so she simply said directly: "To be honest, I don't want to marry into the Zhao family and live a life of fighting. General, don't say anything about protecting me. Yesterday someone entered my room.

Before I saw the snake, I suddenly heard a strange flute sound, which was very low. If my ears weren't sensitive, I wouldn't have heard it at all. After the imperial doctor came, he said that this kind of snake would never appear in our place. Then, I went to Guogong

I also heard the same sound of the flute... I don’t need to say more about the rest. If the general thinks I heard it wrong, then just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”

If Zhao Boyang's request for imperial edict for marriage had once made her heartbeat, then her heartbeat at this moment had been scared away by yesterday's venomous snake. She would never believe Mr. Su's claim that the snake ran in accidentally and was in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

The sound of the flute she heard made her 100% sure that this matter had nothing to do with the people from the Zhenguo Palace.

As a person who has suffered an unreasonable disaster, it is really difficult for her to say that it doesn't matter. Maybe asking for a marriage is the best guarantee Zhao Boyang can give, but she feels that life safety is more important. She is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Thinking that she had already wandered through the gates of hell for a while, she became frightened.

If she was really bitten by a snake, even if Zhao Boyang could get an antidote immediately, she would still have to suffer from the pain. Seeing Xin'er's pain, she was really scared. She had been a person who was afraid of pain since she was a child.

What would she do if she couldn't make it in time? Is it possible that she could time travel again? Even if she could, she didn't want to live in that little girl again. It would be difficult to adapt. Even now, she still feels like she can't fully integrate into it.

The decree of marriage has been issued, and there is no room for maneuver. However, some things must be said clearly to avoid any misunderstanding between the two.

Zhao Boyang's expression suddenly changed, and he said after a while: "I will find out about this matter."

Su Yiqing smiled: "So what if we find out? If we can find out who from the Zhao family is behind this matter, what can the general do? Just like my elder brother, sometimes I hope to know the truth, but sometimes I don't

I’m afraid to know the truth, I think General Zhao can understand what I say.”

Zhao Boyang clenched his fists tightly, and it took him a long time to say, "I will definitely give you an explanation, Miss Ninth."

Su Yiqing did not answer the call. Blood is thicker than water. It is really difficult to decide on certain things. The most suspicious person is the Duke of Zhenguo. If it is really found out that she did it, what can Zhao Boyang do to his destined mother? Ancient filial piety

Greater than the sky, a son's accusation against his mother is not much different from treason.

Such silence was seen as obvious distrust in Zhao Boyang's eyes, which made him even more embarrassed.

After that, Zhao Boyang left, his face not looking good. Even if the two masters of the Su family wanted to stay with him for dinner before leaving, he was unwilling.

The maid and mother-in-law were far away and could not hear the conversation between the two, but she could read their faces and told the two masters of the Su family what they saw and heard.

Uncle Su and Mr. Su naturally thought that their niece said something unpleasant that made Zhao Boyang unhappy. However, they were two grown men who couldn't reprimand their niece who was about to leave the court, so they asked Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Jiang to come.

After Su Yiqing went back, she was really tired and lay down again. After Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Jiang came, she saw her niece's face was pale and couldn't reprimand her. Besides, the reprimand was satisfying for a while, but what about the future? Su Yiqing and them were already like each other.

If you don't get close to them, you may even treat them as enemies in the future.

Thinking like this, the two of them hoped that the other party would speak first, and then they would make peace with each other. If they both thought like this, they would not speak first.

The atmosphere in the room became silent. Su Yiqing was really tired. She was in a bad mood for two days. She was not in the mood to glare at them. She didn't even bother to say anything, so she pretended to be weak and leaned against her.

Rest beside the bed.

Nanny Zhou, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly found a big pillow for her to lean on so that she could lie down more comfortably. Then she smiled and said, "Madam, please don't be surprised. Miss Ninth is really not feeling well. She just drank medicine."

"It's so pitiful. I don't know where such a snake came from. It scared Xiaojiu." Mrs. Jiang said and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking distressed and about to cry.

Mrs. Qu was so angry that she was in charge of the house. Although the families were separated, the people in the houses still lived together, and she was responsible for the common areas. Now that there were snakes, wouldn't it mean that she was in trouble as a housekeeper? But Jiang

There is no explicit explanation, so there is really no way to refute this. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
