C44 Closing the Door to Ask for Your Hand in Marriage

He looked at the little girl he was holding in his other hand. She had big eyes and a small mouth. Her face was so similar to Qing Shui's, but her facial features were exactly the same as Qiao Liangjin's as a child.

Qiao Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air as he weakly sat on the ground.

His cute daughter was actually secretly knotted with the Seventh Marquis when they were secretly touching!

At this moment, his mind was in a mess. No wonder he cleared the request for marriage. No wonder his daughter had always refused.

No wonder he rarely came to this courtyard.

Qiao Zheng held onto his own hair nonstop. Heavens, this was the biggest scandal in the world.

Qiao Liangjin looked at Qiao Zheng's expression and knew what he was thinking. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he explained, "Father, this is not my child."

Qiao Zheng's head was buzzing as he could not hear Qiao Liangjin's words.

He raised his head and sighed, sadly saying to the sky, "I let you down. I didn't take good care of our daughter."

He then shook his head and stood up. Suddenly, his steps looked old. Step by step, he walked towards the outside of the Flower Ginseng Pavilion.

Qiao Liangjin blinked his eyes and looked at Yuesheng and the Spirit Swirling Swirl. He pointed at his own face and asked, "Do they look like me?"

The people standing in the yard all nodded.

Qiao Liangjin bent his waist as he smiled. He pinched Yu Sheng's face and then the Spirit Swirl's face before saying, "Hurry up and call me mother."

Qiao Zheng sat in his study room in a daze as he could not hear a word that Joan of Arc had said.

After thinking for a long time, Qiao Zheng abruptly stood up and pushed her away. He said, "If there's anything I need to say, I'll come back first. I need to go out now."

Zhen Yuan looked at Qiao Zheng's back as he left and lowered her head. There were countless words written on the paper – Child.

He was in the middle of dealing with some official business when he heard the butler say that Prime Minister Qiao was seeking an audience at the door.

Surprised, he quickly went out to greet them.

Looking at Qiao Zheng's gloomy expression, she did not know how she had offended him.

He welcomed the person into the hall.

Before he could take his seat, Qiao Zheng cut straight to the point. "I wonder how Seventh Prince plans on dealing with Jin'er and those two children."

"Huh?" A pair of children?

He looked at Qiao Zheng blankly.

Qiao Zheng looked on in confusion as his anger flared. So it turned out that this ungrateful man had no idea he still had a child!

"Seventh Prince, as a man, what responsibilities do you have to understand? Why do you treat your own children so indifferently when all you know is that you shoulder the responsibility of the King?"

He still looked confused.

Children? Children? Why did he suddenly have a girl and a son?

Could it be … Was Qiao Liangjin pregnant?

Whose child was he carrying?

Qiao Zheng looked at Qing Qing's shocked expression and thought he had remembered. He flung his sleeves and snorted. "Look at that son. He was carved from the same mold as you."

Qing Qing rubbed her nose. A son that looked quite similar to her?

He suddenly realized what had happened. He had thought that Yu Sheng was the son of Qiao Liangjin and himself!

He couldn't help but laugh.

"Master, This King understands." He heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair opposite Qiao Zheng.

Seeing that he had acknowledged her, Qiao Zheng gave an inexplicable sigh of relief. Then he said, "Then when is the Seventh Prince planning to marry Jin'er? Since we already have children, it's better to be early rather than late. "

Su Chen cleared his throat and thought back to how Qiao Liangjin rejected him for a thousand miles. The smile on his face disappeared and he paused for a moment before he shook his head and sighed, "I can't marry him."

Qiao Zheng was unhappy. What did it mean that he could not marry? What did 'can't marry' mean?

You've already accepted this child, so why can't you marry him?

Qiao Zheng stood up and pointed at his clean nose, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Zichen pointed at her nose for a long time, but didn't say anything in the end.

Flinging his sleeves, he left the Seventh Marquis Mansion in a fit of rage.

He sat calmly in his seat.

It wasn't that he didn't want to marry, but she didn't want to.

He never wanted to force her to do anything she didn't like.

Life was still very long, and he remembered her writing on a piece of paper as she said, "In this life, I must be willing to marry the person I love and give birth to a bunch of children. If you're unhappy, you won't be happy even if you're immortal. "

She didn't even know how much trouble that "I can't marry" had caused her.

Qiao Liangjin still ate, ate and slept every day. When he was free, he would go to the grocer's to listen to Bai Wu's zither play.

Strangely enough, Ning Xi had not come since the last time she had come to admire the flowers.

Qiao Liangjin did not intend to ask.

Occasionally, he would take out the jade green flute in his sleeve to play with it.

Qiao Liangjin realized that Qiao Zheng had been very busy lately. He would only occasionally see her in the garden and would only shake his head slightly.

When he arrived at the little grocer's lodge, he heard about the big thing his father was doing.

His father was searching everywhere for evidence to clear up the matter and was preparing to send it to the imperial court.

Qiao Liangjin rubbed the tip of his nose and pondered deeply all the while. What's wrong with his father? Didn't he say he was going to hide his strength to recuperate?

Why did it have to be opposed to clearing up the tension?

Chopsticks lightly tapped on the table.

Bai Wuxun served the wine and asked, "What's the matter, Miss Qiao?"

"It's nothing. Bai Wu, do you know martial arts? " Qiao Liangjin propped himself up and looked at the man in plain clothes.

Bai Wu shook his head and passed his arm to Qiao Liangjin. He said softly, "I can't learn without such good Innate Ability."

Qiao Liangjin knew what he meant. He wanted to test if Su Chen had any inner strength.

She pushed his arm away and shook her head with a smile. "Forget it, you won't. I'll protect you from now on."

Bai Wu Chen's hands froze as he looked at the heartless woman in front of him with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

She said she wanted to protect him?

Bai Wu's heart warmed as the corners of his eyes became slightly moist. He raised his cup to cover his face with his sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

With these words, Bai Wu Chen's life would definitely be given to her.

Still humming a song, she walked into the alley where she had killed five people.

At the mouth of the alleyway stood a man in white.

Qiao Liangjin was overjoyed. He quickly rushed over and threw himself into his arms, "Ningxi!"

Ning Xi's smile was still as warm as ever as she held Qiao Liangjin in her arms.

Qiao Liangjin's ear was pressed against Ning Ying's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.

"Jin'er, I missed you." Ning Ying smelled Qiao Liangjin's fragrance and said softly.

"I wanted to ask where you had gone to, but after some thought, I decided not to." Qiao Liangjin raised his head.

In the darkness of the night, Ning Ying's body emitted a faint orchid fragrance.

Touching Ning Xi's abs, Qiao Liangjin's brows furrowed. "Why have you lost weight?"

"I heard you have a new pet now?"

"How did you lose weight?"

"The new pet is rumored to be even prettier than I am?"

"Have you returned to the Southern Kingdom?"

"I heard you killed five people in half an incense stick's time?"

Qiao Liangjin lightly hit Ning Xi's chest shyly and coquettishly said, "Aiya, I'm so hateful now that I know about this?"

Ning Xi had never seen Qiao Liangjin like this before. She blinked her beautiful eyes, and her palm instantly landed on Qiao Liangjin's forehead.

Is she sick? Is she having a fever?

Qiao Liangjin's smile froze on his face.

What does that mean? Didn't they say that men love the appearance of a girl the most?

He slapped away Ning Ying's hand.

He angrily pushed him away and headed straight for the Prime Minister's residence.

How could Ning Xi know what the little girl was thinking? She was rather baffled, but she obediently followed behind her.

When she was about to flip over the wall, Ning Xi grabbed the back of her collar.

"Hey hey hey, what's wrong with you guys? Your height is amazing!" This was not the first time that Qiao Liangjin was being held by the nape of his neck.

"With me here, do you still need to climb the wall?"

With just a blink of an eye, Ning Ying had already carried Qiao Liangjin on her back.

Qiao Liangjin, who was lying right behind Ning Xi, smiled evilly. "You're bringing me somewhere again, aren't you?"

Ning Xi turned her head and smiled at Qiao Liangjin. "Close your eyes, and have a good rest. When you open your eyes, we'll be there."

Qiao Liangjin rubbed the tip of his nose, nodded, and smiled: "Okay, at least I trust you."

Ning Ying gently flew through the city, the moon in the sky as the white-robed Ning Ning Xian flew past Xuanyuan Royal City like a fairy.

Lu Li looked at the black face on the wall and asked, "Your Highness, are you coming or not?"

"Go back." Su Qian slowly spoke after what seemed like a long struggle.

So what if he followed her? He knew Qiao Liangjin very well. He only had a casual personality and did not act as he pleased.

Qiao Liangjin was lying on Ning Xi's slightly thin shoulder. Ever since they parted ways to admire the flowers, he had become frighteningly thin.

His finger gently traced across Ye Zichen's shoulder.

Ning Ying didn't seem to have noticed her actions. He was thinking in his heart that if she had seen that place, she would definitely be pleasantly surprised.

All the way to the edge of the western mountains.

Ning Xi put down Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Liangjin said in surprise, "Isn't this the Western Mountain? It seems to be very close to my father's villa."

Ning Ying looked up at the cliff and smiled, "I'll take you up the cliff later."

Without any change in his expression, he walked past the Fallen Cloud Manor. Ning Xi pulled Qiao Liangjin to the well in the backyard.

He pointed to the bottom of the well.

Qiao Liangjin was a little curious and he lowered his head to take a look.

There was nothing in the well, it was just a pool of clear water.

Ning Xi wrapped her arms around her waist and lightly landed inside.

Qiao Liangjin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately held onto Ning Ying's waist tightly.

Before they even touched the water surface, Ning Xi nudged the wet wall with her foot and lightly knocked on a protruding brick three times.

The bricks on the wall were slowly pushed back.

Qiao Liangjin looked at her in surprise. It was the legendary hidden door, the legendary underground tunnel.

Surprise was written all over his face.

Before she could say anything, she broke free from the seal and lightly jumped into the small door.

The moment he stepped into the room, the candles on both sides seemed to have sensed his presence and lit up.

A long corridor appeared in front of Qiao Liangjin.

Qiao Liangjin cautiously stopped. He picked up a small stone and gently threw it over.

Ning Xi had no idea what she was doing.

There was no mechanism. Qiao Liangjin patted his palm and said with a smile: "So there isn't a mechanism."

It was only then that Ning Xi had a sudden realization. He pointed at the door and said, "After this door closes, this road will change. By using mechanisms, I'm afraid I'll hurt you."
