The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

In response to Xie Xiangyu's question, Pingxi Hou did not say much and just made excuses.

?

"There is something urgent going on in the capital, so I may have to go back first."

?

This makes sense. After all, Marquis Pingxi is now patrolling the sea. If he hadn't met Xie Xiangyu, he would still be patrolling in the vast ocean.

?

Instead, he came to the wealthy city of Yangzhou, where he admired flowers, recited poems and composed couplets with Xie Xiangyu in the Xie Mansion.

?

After these days of contact, Zhou Zheng clearly felt the change in Xie Xiangyu.

?

He originally wanted to press on with the victory, but now what was happening in the capital city had to be dealt with seriously.

?

Otherwise it will definitely cause very bad effects.

?

Of course Zhou Zheng could also send people back to the capital, but in that case, he was worried that public opinion would lean towards one side and the situation would become even more out of control.

?

He still has to go back then.

?

When Xie Xiangyu learned that he was leaving, she felt reluctant, but she did not try to keep him.

?

She said lightly, "Be careful on the road."

?

Zhou Zheng nodded, then ordered people to pack their luggage and prepare to return to Beijing.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised when he received the news.

?

"Why are you leaving so suddenly? I didn't hear the Marquis say that he would leave so soon! Could it be that someone in the mansion didn't treat him well enough?"

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng hurried to the front yard to find her mother to find out clearly. She couldn't let Pingxi Hou leave so easily.

?

If he left because his family did not entertain him well, the Xie family would be criticized and condemned.

?

Even Xie Liuzheng himself was confused and had no idea what was going on.

?

She hurried to find Pingxi Hou.

?

When I arrived at the front yard, I saw him saying goodbye to his mother.

?

"Xiangyu, I'm going to go back first, wait for me to come back!"

?

Zhou Zheng didn't say anything and turned to leave, but was stopped by Xie Liuzheng who came rushing over.

?

"My Lord, please stay!"

?

Then Xie Liuzheng walked up to him, breathing lightly, and asked in a deep voice.

?

"Your Majesty, are you leaving? Are you not comfortable living in your mansion? Or is it because the hospitality is not good enough? Otherwise, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

?

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and told her the urgent news from the capital.

?

Xie Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

?

But she had a hunch that this happened too suddenly, as if someone had done it on purpose.

?

It is very obvious what the other party's purpose is. They just want to lure Zhou Zheng back to the capital.

?

In this way, the other party's identity becomes clear.

?

There are very few people who would like to use the name of Pingxi Marquis' Mansion and hope that Pingxi Marquis will return to Beijing!

?

Xie Liuzheng figured out the whole thing in no time.

?

So she smiled and said, "My Lord, there are important matters that need to be dealt with in the capital. I shouldn't have said too much, but I think something is fishy. After all, you have only been in Yangzhou for a few days, and it seems that someone in the capital is anxious for you to go back. Don't you find it strange?"

?

As for other things, Xie Liuzheng did not reveal them.

?

She can point it out, but she can't say it out loud.

?

Let Pingxi Hou figure out the rest himself.

?

Anyway, Xie Liuzheng felt very surprised. From what she knew, the other party was very eager to lead Pingxi Hou away!

?

As for what the other party's real purpose was, Xie Liuzheng had no way of knowing.

?

Pingxi Hou also reacted quickly. His expression froze and he began to wonder what the person behind the scenes wanted.

?

If the purpose was just to lure him back, Pingxi Hou felt that there was no need for the other party to go through so much trouble. All they needed to do was spread some rumors in the capital.

?

However, the other party chose to use the name of Pingxi Marquis' Mansion and drove a horse-drawn carriage in the street at high speed, injuring people.

?

Pingxi Hou immediately changed his mind. Since the other party's purpose was to lure him back, he would rather not do what the other party wanted!

?

He didn't reply, but wanted to see what tricks the other party would use!

?

Thinking of this, Pingxi Hou bowed to Xie Liuzheng gratefully and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Miss Xie. I'll stay in Yangzhou for a few more days before making any decisions."

?

Xie Liuzheng was stunned. Her original intention was to remind Pingxi Hou, but the other party deliberately refused to leave.

?

Of course, Xie Liuzheng didn't want Zhou Zheng to leave now. Xie Xiangyu's attitude had softened a lot, and she was worried that things would get more serious if the night went on.

?

By the time Zhou Zheng comes back, Xie Xiangyu's heart, which she had opened with great difficulty, will be closed again. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?

?

If possible, Xie Liuzheng still hopes that Marquis Pingxi can stay in the mansion for a few more days.

?

But she couldn't say this.

?

Fortunately, Marquis Pingxi decided to stay longer, and Xie Liuzheng smiled slightly.

?

"Liu Zheng would naturally like Master Pingxi to stay in the mansion for a while longer! But I am afraid that he might worry about his important matters, so I will just do everything according to his wishes."

?

In response, Xie Xiangyu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her, and she had been listening quietly on the side.

?

But she didn't want her daughter to interfere with Pingxi Hou's decision.

?

In response, Pingxi Hou smiled and looked at Xie Xiangyu and her daughter, "Xiangyu, you have a smart daughter!"

?

"Let's have dinner together tonight, so you can tell me about your story."

?

Pingxi Hou invited Xie Liuzheng to have dinner with him in the evening. He also wanted to know what such a smart girl thought about his feelings for Xie Xiangyu.

?

From Xie Xiangyu's words and deeds, Zhou Zheng was very clear that Xie Liuzheng had a great influence on Xiangyu.

?

If Xie Liuzheng did not agree with her mother remarrying, Xiangyu would definitely listen to her daughter.

?

Zhou Zheng has wasted so many years, and now he and Xiangyu have finally met again, and he doesn't want to delay any longer.

?

Life is short. He lived the first half of his life for the people, so now he has to live the second half for himself.

?

Even if everyone disagreed, he was determined to marry Xie Xiangyu, even though she was just a merchant's daughter and had been divorced.

?

But no matter what, Zhou Zheng will never back down this time.

?

Therefore, Xie Liuzheng's attitude is very important to him.

?

Facing Zhou Zheng's invitation, Xie Liuzheng agreed frankly, "My Lord, you think highly of me, so I will gladly accept the invitation!"

?

"Okay! Enjoy!"

?

Zhou Zheng hadn't been so happy in a long time. He instantly forgot about the worries about things in the capital and turned around to order people to go to Deyue Tower to prepare food.

?

Since he invited Xie Liuzheng to the date, it was naturally impossible for the Xie family to provide wine and food.

?

Xie Liuzheng did not refuse this.

?

But Xie Xiangyu also wanted to stay and join them, but was sent away by Xie Liuzheng.

?

"Mom, I suddenly want to eat the cakes you made. I wonder if you can make some for me?"

?

In this regard, Xie Xiangyu knew that her daughter did not want her to stay, but she still nodded in agreement and left with the maids.

?

After a while, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the backyard, Xie Liuzheng and Zhou Zheng sat opposite each other.

?

There were exquisite dishes placed in front of the two of them, but Xie Liuzheng did not pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he picked up the wine jug and helped Zhou Zheng pour wine.

?

"My Lord, I toast you!"

?

Xie Liuzheng picked up the teacup in front of her and poured Zhou Zheng a strong liquor.

?

Zhou Zheng did not refuse and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

?

One cup after another...

When Zhou Zheng was fighting on the battlefield, drinking was essential, and he was known for his ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

?

He thought Xie Liuzheng wanted to get him drunk, but after the pot of wine was finished, Xie Liuzheng served him tea.

?

Zhou Zheng was very puzzled.

?

"Miss Xie, why did you change to tea? Tea is light in color and not as refreshing as strong liquor!"

?

In response to this, Xie Liuzheng shook his head and said, "Drinking alcohol is harmful to your health. My Lord, you should take care of your health. Drinking more tea is good for your health."

?

But immediately afterwards, Xie Liuzheng asked directly.

?

"I wonder what the Marquis' attitude is towards my mother? A childhood sweetheart? A former best friend? Or a lover who can spend the rest of her life together?"

?

Zhou Zheng didn't expect Xie Liuzheng to ask so directly, and he couldn't help but become serious.

?

He did not look down on the girl in front of him at all.

?

"I love your mother, but she rejected me many times!"

?

After Zhou Zheng said this, a suspicious blush appeared on his slightly dark face.

?

It can be seen that Zhou Zheng was still a little embarrassed to admit that his feelings were rejected in front of a junior.

?

But he knew very well that Xie Xiangyu's decision was closely related to the girl in front of him, so Zhou Zheng was no longer shy and expressed his feelings directly.

?

"Your mother and I were very close when we were young, until Uncle Xie took your mother and her family to move to Yangzhou, and that's when we lost contact! I never thought that we would meet under such circumstances..."

?

Unlike Xie Xiangyu's brief explanation, Zhou Zheng told Xie Liuzheng about their past in detail.

?

Xie Liuzheng had lived in Yangzhou City ever since he could remember, but he never imagined that his grandfather had once expanded his business to the capital.

?

However, Xie Liuzheng didn't know what happened later that caused his grandfather and his family to move to Yangzhou.

?

But from Zhou Zheng's description, she could clearly feel his respect and love for Xie Xiangyu.

?

In this era where men are respected, Xie Liuzheng feels that Zhou Zheng's thoughts are precious.

?

After meeting Xie Xiangyu, Zhou Zheng decided not to separate from her again.

?

But Xie Liuzheng had to think clearly, "You are the Marquis of Pingxi, but my mother is just a merchant's daughter, and she has been married before. How can you guarantee that people will not look down on my mother because of her status?"

?

"Are there other people in the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion? Would they not welcome mother to marry you?"

?

Xie Liuzheng must think carefully before he can safely entrust his mother to the person in front of him.

?

What he said sounded good, but there were very few people who could actually do it.

?

You should know that Xie Liuzheng was once deceived by Qin Shou and finally paid the price with his life.

?

It also implicated my mother and the Xie family.

?

In this life, although Xie Liuzheng wanted to help her mother find happiness, she didn't want her mother to be bullied in the future. After all, her mother's identity as a merchant girl was an unchangeable fact.

?

Now Pingxi Hou may not care about the difference in status, but as time goes on, will he be instigated by others and learn to dislike his mother like those people?

?

In this case, Xie Liuzheng would rather his mother not have started dating him. A short pain is worse than a long one.

?

Now maybe my mother will be sad for a while because of Zhou Zheng’s departure, but time is the best medicine to heal wounds.

?

Xie Liuzheng can help her mother find a suitable match. Although his status is not as prominent as Zhou Zheng's, that person can be completely controlled by Xie Liuzheng.

?

What she wants is her mother's happiness, and this happiness is not something that only Pingxi Hou Zhou Zheng can give!

?

Pingxi Hou's eyes turned cold.

?

When Xie Liuzheng thought that he was offended by her words and became angry.

?

"No one can stop me! Not even the Emperor."

?

Looking at Zhou Zheng's resounding oath, he even ignored the emperor's opposition. That kind of arrogance made Xie Liuzheng convinced.

?

She felt that Pingxi Hou Zhou Zheng was a real man.

?

Even though Xie Liuzheng had lived two lives as a human being and had very little contact with the opposite sex, Zhou Zheng was the only one who gave her this feeling!

?

Xie Liuzheng felt that such a man would definitely be able to protect her mother.

?

Of course, she will also become her mother's support.

?

What about a merchant girl?

?

With the protection of Marquis Pingxi in front and the tremendous wealth of the Xie family behind, Xie Liuzheng wanted to know who could have the confidence of his mother.

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Zheng with great respect.

?

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng immediately understood what she meant, so he handed her a token with a smile.

?

"This is for you. It can save your life at a critical moment! Of course, I hope you will never need it!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng had not yet realized the importance of the token. She just thought of it as a small token from the other party, so she did not refuse.

?

"Thank you, Lord Pingxi, for the reward. I will keep it carefully."

?

So the two of them continued with their meal, both of them enjoying themselves.

?

When Xie Xiangyu came over with the freshly made snacks, she saw this scene and was a little surprised.

?

Liu Zheng has been a thoughtful child since she was a child. Xie Xiangyu doesn't know how to enlighten her and is very anxious!

?

Unexpectedly, Liu Zheng could smile so happily in front of Zhou Zheng, which made Xie Xiangyu feel very relieved.

?

But when I think about my own identity, it does not match that of Lord Zhou Zheng!

?

In addition, Liu Zheng's idea made Xie Xiangyu hesitate to accept Pingxi Hou's love.

?

Looking at her daughter's happy smile, Xie Xiangyu wished she could keep this moment.

?

But Xie Liuzheng soon discovered her. She stood up with a smile and pushed Xie Xiangyu towards Zhou Zheng.

?

Zhou Zheng quickly reached out and caught her.

?

But Xie Liuzheng smiled and said, "Mother, Lord Pingxi has something to tell you, so I won't bother you two."

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng turned and left. Although she didn't drink any alcohol tonight, she just drank a few cups of tea.

?

But for some reason, she now felt a little drunk.

?

Looking up at the full moon above his head, Xie Liuzheng murmured to himself, "People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxes and wanes..."

?

She was very satisfied with the conversation tonight with Zhou Zheng, but she also knew that her mother would soon leave her.

?

Although Xie Liuzheng was somewhat reluctant, in her previous life, the relationship between her and Xie Liuzheng as mother was very weak. Coupled with Qin Guangjin's instigation, she once thought that her mother did not love her.

?

It was not until his death that Xie Liuzheng felt Xie Xiangyu's deep maternal love.

?

But by then it was too late.

?

In this life, she finally enjoyed Xie Xiangyu's love and care, but seeing Zhou Zheng's anxious look, Xie Liuzheng knew that her mother would leave her soon.

?

Xie Liuzheng was naturally reluctant to let go. She originally thought that after Xie Xiangyu got rid of Qin Guangjin, she and Xie Xiangyu would depend on each other as mother and daughter from then on.

?

But the sudden appearance of Pingxi Hou Zhou Zheng ruined her idea.

?

But no matter how reluctant he was, Xie Liuzheng still said the same old words: he hoped his mother would be happy!
