Chapter 126 Only You in This Life
Chapter 126 Only You in This Life
"Lady Shen, it's okay. My cousin is a widower. He lives in a small place like Yong County, where the people are not well-educated and it is difficult to find a wife. As long as you don't mind, it would be his fortune to be a servant." Fang Zhi was a little embarrassed. In fact, she didn't want her cousin to give himself to Shen Yueqiao, but this was the order of her mother and father. What could she do?
After saying that, she winked at Bai Qian, and Bai Qian's hand on the hat moved again. Before Shen Yueqiao could stop him, the hat had already been taken off by him.
Under the slightly curly hair were a pair of delicate and authentic amorous peach blossom eyes, with a hint of melancholy, which suddenly appeared in front of Shen Yueqiao, stunning Shen Yueqiao.
Bai Qian did not hesitate and directly pulled off the mask with her hands, exposing her face directly in front of Shen Yueqiao and Fang Zhi.
Fang Zhi was also surprised. He didn't expect that his cousin was so handsome. The air was silent for a moment and both of them were stunned.
He has lofty eyebrows, a straight nose, thin lips, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He exudes a melancholy temperament, and with a pair of peach blossom eyes, one can't help but feel that he is the protagonist of Les Miserables!
The reason why Shen Yueqiao was stunned was that this young man looked a bit like Xiao Li Feidao of his own era, with some similarities.
Shen Yueqiao came to her senses quickly and felt a little sad. If only her good friend was here, it would be great. She was a loyal fan of Xiao Li Flying Dagger.
But, Shen Yueqiao is not like that!
I miss my friends. We used to have dinner together and argue about whose idol was more handsome. Those days seem like a lifetime ago.
Fang Zhi noticed that Shen Yueqiao looked sad, and he was a little hesitant for a moment.
"Ms. Shen?" she called out tentatively.
Shen Yueqiao came back to his senses and looked at Bai Qian again, his eyes clear. He cupped his hands and said, "Lady Fang, Yueqiao really doesn't have those thoughts. I hope you won't force me and look for a good man for my cousin."
Fang Zhi glanced at his cousin again and couldn't help but admire Shen Yueqiao. Even with such a beauty, he could still refuse. It seems that Shen Yueqiao is worth making close friends with.
When Bai Qian received Fang Zhi's look, she knelt down, leaned low, and said, "Ms. Fang, everyone in Qian'er's hometown knows that Qian'er is here to discuss marriage. If Qian'er is rejected again..."
He didn't say anything else, but just looked at Shen Yueqiao with a pair of affectionate eyes. His thin red lips seemed to be hesitant to speak, but his meaning was expressed very clearly.
"I'm not..."
"Master." A sweet and lustful male voice came from outside the door. Shen Yueqiao's eyes lit up when she heard the voice. Her Hongle was here!
It's just right, it would be best if he refused.
Everyone looked towards the door, only to see Lin Hongle, dressed in a green gown, walking in with Lin Liu.
"Greetings, Miss Fang." Lin Hongle slightly bent his knees and bowed. Before Fang Zhi could say anything, Shen Yueqiao had already gone over to help him up, staring at his idol so intently that his eyes were about to become thread-like.
"You're here? Come and sit down." She directly supported Lin Hongle and helped him to the chair in the middle, without any regard for Fang Zhi and Bai Qian who was kneeling.
Bai Qian secretly looked up at Lin Hongle, and when she saw Lin Hongle's face clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay if he's ugly!
"Ms. Fang, my husband is in poor health and can't stand for too long. Please forgive me." Shen Yueqiao seemed to remember something and explained to Fang Zhi.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Fang Zhi smiled bitterly. Lin Hongle, this is the person she thinks about day and night! He should be her husband! How could this happen?
"Master, who is this?" Lin Hongle glanced at Bai Qian with his phoenix eyes. The man kneeling on the ground was so handsome.
"Master, I am Bai Qian, a distant relative of the Fang family's Bai family." Bai Qian answered before Shen Yueqiao could speak.
After hearing this, Lin Hongle said nothing, but just glanced at Shen Yueqiao.
"Le'er, I didn't agree. Please listen to my explanation." Shen Yueqiao shuddered in his heart. No, what was that look in his eyes!
"Master, it's alright. Since Minister Fang is so kind, how can I not accept it?" Lin Hongle said with a gentle smile: "And the master's inner house should also have a few new people."
Nonsense, he just saw Shen Yueqiao staring at the man on the ground with a dull look outside the door. Her refusal was just being polite and hypocritical. Since the man would definitely stay sooner or later, she might as well earn a reputation for being virtuous.
"Ms. Shen is so lucky to have such a sensible husband." Fang Zhi said bitterly at the right time, saying that although Lin Hongle is not good-looking, he is truly a good husband.
"Thank you, my lord, thank you, patriarch." Bai Qian reacted very quickly. He immediately bowed deeply, and the matter seemed to be settled.
"Ms. Fang, after Hongle discusses with the head of the family, we will give brother Bai Qian a status. What do you think?" Lin Hongle asked again in a gentle voice, not noticing that Shen Yueqiao's face had become a little angry.
"Of course." Fang Zhi didn't notice it. He just had to complete the task.
Shen Yueqiao held his breath secretly, but did not say anything to stop it. It seemed that Bai Qian had to stay in the East House today.
Firstly, she couldn't refuse Minister Fang's kindness. Secondly, Lin Hongle had already spoken, and she couldn't let him lose face in front of Fang Zhi.
Forget it, let’s just leave it like this for now. I’ll figure out a solution after this.
After completing the task, Fang Zhi looked at Lin Hongle reluctantly, but then he remembered his mother's instructions that he had to leave immediately after finishing the task and not to stay any longer, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
"Ms. Fang, the mansion has prepared a banquet. Why don't you eat before leaving? What do you think?" Lin Hongle tried to persuade her.
"No." Fang Zhi saw that Shen Yueqiao didn't say anything and insisted on leaving.
Shen Yueqiao didn't want to see any of them right now, so he could only pretend to be polite.
Fang Zhi naturally understood what Shen Yueqiao meant, and besides, his mother had given some instructions, so he finally left.
After she left, Lin Hongle saw that Shen Yueqiao looked unhappy and felt uncomfortable, so he deliberately asked, "Master, where do you think we should place Brother Bai Qian first?"
"What do you think?" Shen Yueqiao asked deliberately without looking at him.
"Let's put it in the west wing of the back house. What do you think?" Lin Hongle was also a little angry.
"Well, how about putting it in the east wing of the front yard." Shen Yueqiao was scared. She admitted that she was scared, but who cares?
She just wanted the back room to be a place where she and Lin Hongle could be alone, so what?
"Are you with Young Master Xiao Cui?" Lin Hongle asked with blinking eyes.
"Well, let them be together." Shen Yueqiao looked at Lin Hongle pitifully, with a pleading look.
Bai Qian beside him lowered her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Shen Yueqiao was actually henpecked?
Isn't she a brainless fool?
"Yes, my wife." Lin Hongle nodded, and then let Lin Liu take Bai Qian down to settle her down.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Shen Yueqiao carefully looked at Lin Hongle's face. The beauty still had a gentle expression, but her eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction.
Shen Yueqiao directly grabbed his hand and led him into the front hall, then immediately closed the door.
The house in the front yard is like a small villa, with all kinds of functional rooms available and luxurious everywhere.
"Le'er," Shen Yueqiao noticed his look. She didn't want him to be unhappy, so she pulled him directly into the living room.
There was no point in saying more, she just kissed him directly, until Lin Hongle was so dizzy that he couldn't react.
"Wife, wife." Taking advantage of the gap, Lin Hongle shouted while panting.
"Le'er, you are the only one in my life." Shen Yueqiao also said what he wanted to say.
The blood in Lin Hongle's body turned cold. Yes, it was just his face!
"My dear wife, what are you talking about? It is common for a woman to have three husbands and four concubines. Le'er is not a jealous person." Lin Hongle lowered his eyebrows and said softly.
Shen Yueqiao didn't explain any more and just let the action take care of everything.
