Everyone bowed and said, "Yes."

Then I heard a rustling sound, and everyone left. Then the door opened and someone walked in.

Qing He suddenly became so nervous that her whole body was shaking. She didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to escape from here!

The person came in front of her, reached out and gently lifted the veil on her head. Qing He felt her eyes brighten and her breathing became smooth instantly!

She slowly raised her head and saw Jiang Yaonian, dressed as a groom, looking at her deeply. She couldn't help feeling nervous and lowered her head quietly again.

The two had met only a few times in total and were not familiar with each other, but suddenly they became husband and wife, living under the same roof and becoming the closest people. Qinghe felt like she was drowning in her heart, with nothing but fear.

But there was vast ocean all around and she had nowhere to go.

Jiang Yaonian quietly admired her uneasy expression, suddenly smiled, then sat down beside her and gently held her hand.

Qing He was so nervous that her heart was beating wildly. She dared not move at all. She only heard his magnetic and low voice gently asking: "Thank you for your hard work today. Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"

She shook her head slightly and felt that the big hand covering the back of her hand was very warm, in sharp contrast to her somewhat cold hands.

Jiang Yaonian found that although her hands were very slender and fair, calluses had formed on her fingers due to long-term embroidery.

This pure and lovely little country girl was busy all day long, supporting a large family with her own hands, but her family betrayed her!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yaonian once again had the urge to kill Li!

With just one word from him, the widow would die quietly in prison without leaving any trace!

However, when he thought of the little village girl beside him who was still eagerly waiting for her mother to come out, he hesitated again...

Qing He just felt that it was very cramped and uncomfortable for the two of them to sit side by side like this...

She had never been so close to the opposite sex in her life.

Oh, no, one time.

Qinghe suddenly remembered that the last time she fell from the high slope, she fell into the arms of Guard Zhao.

That was the only time in her life that she had close contact with the opposite sex.

This was also the secret she had kept deep in her heart, and she suddenly remembered it today for some reason.

Jiang Yaonian stared at her intently.

The girl was more lively than when they first met, but she was still a little reserved in front of him. Her pure and delicate face was as crystal clear as jade under the reflection of the red candle, so beautiful!

He coughed lightly and asked calmly, "Are you afraid of me?"

Qing He was stunned. Jiang Yaonian said, "You seem very nervous."

Qinghe lowered her eyes, not knowing how to answer.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment...

Jiang Yaonian continued to ask: "The last time you ran away, was it because you didn't want to marry me?"

Qing He immediately raised her head, "No, it's not because of you."

Jiang Yaonian seemed a little surprised to hear this answer, and raised his eyebrows with great interest and asked, "Why is that?"

Qinghe remained silent.

That time she recognized the wrong person and thought that Guard Zhao, who was of the same age as her, was the person her mother introduced to her. She was so excited and happy for a long time, but she didn't know that the person who came with her was the one who really came for a blind date!

Because of a misunderstanding, she was so scared that she ran away at night. After going around in circles, she finally missed the man who made her fall in love at first sight and who had saved her life...

"What are you thinking?"

Qinghe raised her head and looked at Jiang Yaonian in panic without saying anything.

Jiang Yaonian guessed: "Is he thinking about Zhao Cheng?"

Qing He then realized that Guard Zhao's name was Zhao Cheng. She immediately denied it in panic, "No, it's not..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Yaonian seemed very interested in this issue and was unwilling to let it go easily.

Qing He had no choice but to lie: "I was wondering why you knew I was at Minister Zhang's house?"

This has always been a question in Qinghe's mind.

That day, she and Furong escaped from home overnight, and no one knew about it. Even the sudden decision to go to Minister Zhang's house to work was also a temporary decision. How did Jiang Yaonian know about it? And how did he find her so quickly?

She stared at him with a puzzled look on her face, and was very puzzled about this matter.

Jiang Yaonian glanced at her and asked calmly, "Are you still curious why Zhao Cheng picked you up?"

Qinghe was shocked when she heard this and didn't dare to respond.

Jiang Yaonian stared at her, his eyes suddenly became very unhappy, and he said in a slightly cold tone: "Were you very surprised at the time and thought it was destined to be fate?"

Ah, this...

Qing He felt a little embarrassed...

Because that's what she thought at the time!

When she got on the carriage with great joy, she imagined that she could go anywhere with her gentle and reliable lover...

As a result, he was sent all the way to the real Mr. Jiang!

Thinking of these, Qinghe felt sad and ridiculous, with a sense of brokenness as she couldn't bear to look back on the past.

However, she quickly escaped from such fantasies and stopped herself from indulging in such illusory memories. After all, she was now the wife of the man in front of her, so how could she still think about those useless things?

And although marrying him was not her original intention, it was better than marrying Liu the Butcher or Zhao Yuanwai in the town. People should learn to be content and not be too serious.

Qing He cleared her throat, looked at Jiang Yaonian and said, "I... never thought of it that way."

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Yaonian looked at her with a complicated look, obviously not quite believing it.

Qing He did not dwell on this question any more. After thinking for a while, she mustered up the courage to ask softly, "Mr. Jiang, my mother has been imprisoned for a long time. When can she be released?"

After all, the past is past, and what is happening now is what is most important. Qinghe seized the opportunity and asked about the most important issue at the moment.

But she didn't know whether she had seen it wrong. After she asked this question, she felt that Jiang Yaonian's face seemed to darken for a moment, and he was not as natural as before.

She looked at him expectantly, hoping to get a definite answer.

Although Li was at fault first, she was her mother after all. No matter what, she couldn't just watch her being locked up in jail like that.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yaonian did not answer her. Instead, he stood up, took her hand and walked to the inner room and sat down on the bed.

Qing He was still thinking about the question just now in her mind, with her eyes lowered in a daze.

She didn't know why he didn't want to answer this question, as if he had something to hide.

Qing He felt that although Li had gone too far before, she still felt bad for keeping her in jail, so she continued to ask, "Mr. Jiang, can you…"

Jiang Yaonian said, "I know this matter well." Then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's your impression of me?"

When Qing He heard this question, she was stunned at first, then she immediately remembered what happened before. She lowered her head shyly, and her cheeks felt a little hot.

Jiang Yaonian stared at her shy look and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently stroke her cheek.

Qinghe felt her heart beating even faster!

She could even smell the strong smell of alcohol emanating from Jiang Yaonian, and the burning gaze on her face...

At this moment, the red candles were jumping, the incense was intoxicating, and the atmosphere in the room was very charming and ambiguous.

Jiang Yaonian silently looked at her pretty face, which was charming and beautiful under the light of the red candle. He couldn't help but reach out and lift her chin, then leaned over and gently kissed her lips.

Qing He's heartbeat quickened at this moment. She was so nervous that she gently pressed her hands against his chest and felt her whole body trembling slightly!

As their kiss deepened, Jiang Yaonian reached out a hand and gently unbuttoned the collar of her bright red wedding dress, then unbuttoned them one by one all the way down. Qinghe was so frightened that she hurriedly pushed him away!

Jiang Yaonian raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Qinghe stammered, "I...I can do it myself."

As she spoke, she came to sit in front of the dressing table, first gently took off her pearl crown, then removed her hairpins one by one, and in an instant her long, shiny black hair fell to her waist...

The earrings and bracelets were taken off one by one and placed in the gold jewelry box on the dressing table.

Then Qing He began to tremble as she untied the bright red wedding dress...

For some reason, her hands were shaking slightly, and it took her a long time to take them off and gently hang them on the rosewood clothes hanger beside her.

Jiang Yaonian watched her every move quietly, his eyes full of warm expectation and desire!
