No wonder.
Tang Zhou has an extraordinary temperament and is actually from Yuejing City.
Then what is his status in Yuejing City? He must be equally extraordinary, right?
However, this is not important.
The important thing is that now, he is Tang Zhou.
While she was stunned, Tang Zhou suddenly called her name in a serious tone, "Linglan."
"Huh?" She quickly turned around, put aside her thoughts and asked, "What's wrong?"
After all, he returned to the topic, "Your aunt won't let you go so easily."
Shen Zhixi smiled bitterly and replied, "I know, but she probably won't come to my door in the near future."
"Why?"
"Because Liu Yuanwai will leave the province tomorrow to discuss business." Shen Zhixi's lie came out of his mouth.
Tang Zhou said nothing, waiting for her to continue.
"They haven't had anyone come to the door yet, which means that Mr. Liu is not in a hurry to take a concubine. He is probably busy with a long trip tomorrow and can't spare any time. It's just that my aunt took the money and was afraid that something would happen if it took too long. Something went wrong and the money was gone, so he was so anxious to tie me up, thinking of sending me to the Yuanwai Mansion overnight to settle the matter."
"and……"
She paused and smiled bitterly again.
"I already have a solution."
"What can we do?" Tang Zhou asked again.
"Get married before being sent to the Yuanwai's Mansion." She said it easily, but Tang Zhou's expression changed. Naturally, she noticed it, but she kept saying: "You should have heard me during the day. Auntie told me, Yuan Wai Liu will not want a woman who has lost her innocence. Or, if I scratch my face and ruin my face, Yuan Wai Liu will naturally look down on me."
"you……"
"Don't worry, I won't do that self-harm unless I have to."
"and you……"
"Then I can only take the first path."
Shen Zhixi looked at Tang Zhou with a smile, paying attention to the changes in his expression, but he hid it well and could not easily see the flaw.
In fact, he also had doubts, right?
He suspected that her purpose of saving him was related to this matter, and that she was planning to marry him.
She moved closer to Tang Zhou and bumped his shoulder.
"You look so serious, you don't think I plan to marry you, do you?"
When Tang Zhou heard this, he lowered his head slightly, as if he was right by what she said.
"Don't be nervous. I have planned this for a long time and already have a candidate. Saving you was an accident and has nothing to do with this matter." She deliberately used a playful tone to make Tang Zhou relax.
Tang Zhou raised his head and turned to her, but stopped talking.
Shen Zhixi sat back, distanced himself and said: "It's just that I didn't expect aunt to be so anxious. Today's incident really caught me off guard. Thanks to you, otherwise... I am very grateful in my heart and understand this." This matter cannot be delayed any longer. I will solve this matter early tomorrow morning."
"you……"
Tang Zhou opened his mouth, but was speechless for a long time.
"Say." Shen Zhixi stared at him, wondering what he would say, and what kind of reaction he would have if she wanted to marry another man.
He thought carefully, working out his words, and then spoke again after a long while.
"Wouldn't he mind?"
This him refers to the person who wants to marry her.
"What do you mind?"
"Do you mind if you rescue a man of unknown origin and live under the same roof? If such a thing spreads, it will be harmful to your reputation."
Shen Zhixi turned around and sighed.
"I don't even mind that he had a dead wife and two children. Why should he care?"
Tang Zhou seemed surprised. He probably didn't expect that she would marry such a man. He opened his mouth slightly to say something, but felt that nothing was appropriate.
"Stop talking, I'm going back to the house."
Shen Zhixi stood up and his tone changed, as if he was very unhappy.
Without waiting for Tang Zhou to speak, she walked down the steps to the opposite door. She quickly went to the opposite side and returned to her room. She closed the door and left Tang Zhou where he was.
Tang Zhou couldn't see it, and his confusion would always be deeper.
Of course he could tell that she had no choice but to marry the man whose wife was dead and had two children. She actually didn't want to, but in order not to marry a fifty-year-old man, she had no other choice. Law.
But, does it really have to be him?
Do you have to choose between an old man in his fifties and a man with two children?
She should be good-looking. If not, she wouldn't be favored by Liu Yuanwai. But since she is good-looking, isn't there any other more suitable man willing to marry her?
She said she would go and settle the matter early tomorrow morning.
Are you ready to get married?
Opposite door.
Shen Zhixi stood behind the window and looked at Tang Zhou sitting on the steps with a calm expression.
Everything was in her plan, and everything was going down step by step according to what she had set. She was looking forward to Tang Zhou's final choice. She just hoped that it wouldn't backfire, and she would definitely get what she wanted.
Then she closed the window.
Tang Zhou was completely isolated, indicating that she had never thought about letting Tang Zhou enter her heart.
*
the next day.
When Shen Zhixi opened the door and went out, Tang Zhou, who happened to be opposite, also went out at the same time.
Both of them were startled.
"Good morning." Shen Zhixi walked down the steps and stood under his door, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer? How are you feeling today? Is the wound still bleeding?"
"Oh, that's alright."
Tang Zhou stood in front of the wind. The wind was strong today, blowing the hem of his clothes and sending his hair flying behind him, like lingering smoke, swirling around people's hearts.
Shen Zhixi smiled and never got tired of watching it.
"That's good. I'll make breakfast for you later and let Vanilla bring it to you. I'll go out and I'll be back before lunch."
Tang Zhou nodded, knowing that she was going to meet the man who was about to get married.
He wanted to say something, but at the same time he felt he was not qualified to say it.
After saying goodbye, Shen Zhixi went out not long after.
Of course, she wanted to go back to the Shen Mansion to discuss some matters with Cui's mother. The two servants who were injured by Tang Zhou yesterday also had to be given some money to express their condolences.
Breakfast is still the white sugar and red date porridge from yesterday.
When Yuanyang brought the porridge to Tang Zhou's house, he was sitting at the table and looking down at the three jelly beans in his hand, staring at them with a good eye even if his eyes could not see.
Hearing the footsteps, he quickly put his hands back and raised his head.
"Mr. Tang Zhou, the porridge is here. It's white sugar and red date porridge. My sister asked me to make it."
"Thank you." Tang Zhou squeezed the jelly beans tightly and hid them in his sleeves.
"You're welcome. Mr. Tang Zhou, please take it easy. Just leave the bowl when you're done eating. I'll come over later to collect it."
Before leaving, he was stopped by Tang Zhou.
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Tang Zhou?"
Tang Zhou calmly asked, "Is your sister getting married?"
"Yes, sister told you?"
He nodded and asked again: "Who is she going to marry?"
"An Orion, his wife died two years ago, and he has a son and a daughter. He is addicted to alcohol and has a bad temper. Both children are beaten severely by him from time to time."
Yuanyang was full of resentment. Of course, Shen Zhixi taught her to say these words.
Listening, Tang Zhou's expression gradually changed.
"Why did she have to choose him to marry?"
"There is no one else besides him. In order for my sister to marry that old man, my aunt spread rumors everywhere that my sister and that old man are already married... no one from all over the country wants to marry my sister, and only that one, no one wants to marry either. Orion is willing to ask for his sister."
