"I never say love to a woman. If I say love, then I want her to live the rest of her life."
These words were so deep, so domineering, and sounded so shocking that Lian Yue didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She could only blankly watch as he wiped away the tears for her.
Suddenly, she didn't know how to respond to his request to marry, nor did she know how to face the one she had failed to meet. Since her rebirth, she had never been as flustered as she was now.
She had once secretly vowed to herself that she would be reborn, remain unmoved, unmoved, unloved, and unhateful. She only wished to lead a life like this.
But Feng Yunzheng — it was an accident that she had not planned for, an accident that left her at a loss, an accident that she had never thought of.
"Regardless of whether or not Littlemoon has forgotten, the words that Feng Yunzheng said about marrying Littlemoon have never changed from my previous life to my current one. It has always been true." "No," he said.
She didn't know how long he waited for her to speak or how long he looked at her like that. In the end, she didn't say anything.
"Your Highness …" Ye Feng waited for a long time before walking in front of Feng Yunzheng and nervously asked, "Eldest Miss, this is …"
"We've already waited for her for an entire lifetime, so there's no harm in waiting for her. But this time, we won't be waiting for too long." Without Lian Ru Yue's immediate response, even though Feng Yunzheng was a bit disappointed, he was not discouraged. A hint of a smile even emerged on his face.
He knew that for her, it would take some time.
"Does this mean that we will have a female host in Prince Heng's residence?" The night wind asked when he saw Feng Yunzheng's assured expression.
Feng Yunzheng turned his head and looked at him, then said, "Yes."
Female lead? He really liked this saying. In his mind, he couldn't help but think about what he would give Yue Er if he were to return to Prince Heng's estate. He thought about which room she would be staying in and what kind of furnishings she would be happy in.
"Eldest Miss …" Seeing Lian Ruyue walk out of the Peach Blossom Forest by herself, with her face still red, Jindan could not help but feel a little suspicious. She looked behind her but did not see Ninth Prince, so she walked up and called out to him.
She raised her head after a long time. Her cheeks were still a little hot, and her eyes were also burning. In her mind, she was still thinking about the matter of Feng Yunzheng marrying her from her previous life, and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Eldest Miss." Qing Dai called out again. She finally understood what was going on.
"Go find Third Madam. We should return home." She desperately needed a place to calm down.
"Yes." As a result, Blue Dai motioned for Senior Servant Tai and the others to go find Lady Liu, and Lian Yue went to wait in the carriage outside the temple.
When she reached the temple, a figure flashed before her eyes. She was stunned, but immediately recovered her wits and looked over — —
The person standing there was Madam Xiao from the Xiao Estate. She was talking to a young man standing in front of her. Madam Xiao's expression was somewhat grave. It was unknown what she was talking about, but she cautiously nodded her head.
However, she was unable to see that man's face, and only felt that his back was slightly familiar.
Just as she was about to get a better look at the situation, a few monks walked past in front of her. After the monks passed by, she looked over and saw that Madam Xiao was alone.
"This is the time when the Xiao family is in chaos. How could Madam Xiao have the heart to come to the Nine Flower Temple?" Who was the man she was talking to? "Where does this familiar feeling come from?"
Lian Ru Yue thought about it, and a trace of doubt flashed past her heart.
"Ru Yue, I'm coming. Let's head back to the manor." While she was feeling puzzled, Mrs Liu had already said goodbye to her family, and got into the carriage with the amulet from the temple.
After the carriage returned to the mansion, she spoke to her mother before returning to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard. The servants noticed that the Eldest Miss had returned a little different than before. Her eyes were always dazed, as if she had thought of something long ago, and also as if she had been troubled by something …
Actually, Lian Xiyue couldn't help but think of Feng Yunzheng from Madam Xiao's body:
The current Ninth Prince did not lack women. He was graceful, had an extraordinary bearing, and was gradually gaining power. Every time he appeared, many fanatical eyes would follow him. Earlier, Liu Yanyu and Liang Runan, there were definitely many people that she didn't know about. Everyone was after him, waiting for him to speak up. Perhaps, they would all fly into a rage for him.
She remembered that when she was at the palace in her previous life, she had heard the empress dowager at that time, the current Empress, mention it several times. The ninth prince, Feng Yunzheng, had rejected many suitors one after another without taking a fancy to them, so she had no idea what he wanted.
"Alright, I'll marry you."
"Yue Er, let me marry you."
The face that said these two sentences slowly merged into one and finally became a person. That person stood in front of her with a fervent and determined expression in his eyes.
"Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss …" While she was lost in her thoughts, Senior Servant Tai excitedly ran in and said, "The Duke of Xiao and the young Marquis have respected the emperor's decree and come to the palace to apologize to the young mistress. They walked all the way from the entrance of the Xiao family with thorns on their backs, there are many people watching them along the way. You should quickly go out and take a look."
"Oh? "He's here?" Lian Ruyue withdrew the reverie in her heart and returned it to the Xiao family. She coldly laughed and said, "I would like to take a look. After all, it was the emperor's will after all."
Lian Ruyue had just walked to the front yard when she saw Lian Yanqing standing there with a face full of smiles. When he saw her, he walked over and said:
That scorpion is really half naked. It walked all the way from the Xiao Residence with his son Xiao He on its back. This is very satisfying, and it said that it was asking for punishment for you.
Lian Ruyue's face had an indescribable expression as she calmly said, "Father, as long as you are happy."
Lian Yan Qing was startled, his heart shuddered inexplicably as he asked, "Yue'er, are you still blaming me for the time when the Ninth Prince came to plead for mercy? "You also know that at that time, the emperor had a crush on you and wanted to recruit you to the palace. How could your father's subject dare to disobey His Majesty's decree?"
Lian Ru Yue smiled and said, "Of course it's not father's fault. Your daughter understands; doesn't your daughter always listen to your father?"
As she spoke, she turned around to see Xiao Zhenhai leave with a plea for forgiveness. Even Yan Qing was standing under the tree. Now, he was unknowingly intimidated by his daughter. He was a little afraid of his own decision.
The door to the residence slowly opened. Lian Yue appeared. She looked down …
At this moment, he was wearing only a pair of pants. His upper body was bare, and his hands were facing the back. He was carrying thorns on his back as he walked towards the Prime Minister's Hall from Zhengyang Street.
