Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised, but after seeing what Zhou Zimo sent, she immediately understood what he meant.

?

"I've accepted the things. Please go back and tell your young master that I have no hostility towards him. There's no need for him to keep people at a distance."

?

After saying that, she turned around and went in. As for the gift box brought by the servant, it was placed in the yard.

?

After returning, the servant relayed Xie Liuzheng's original words to Zhou Zimo.

?

After hearing this, Zhou Zimo didn't care, "Don't worry about her!"

?

But then Xie Liuzheng sent something over again. At first, Zhou Zimo didn't even look at it and asked Shumo to return it!

?

But before Shu Mo walked back to the yard, Xie Liuzheng sent someone to deliver it again.

?

"Master, this is a little gift from my young lady. Please accept it! My young lady said that the gift you gave was too expensive. I don't want to be misunderstood as taking advantage of you, so I specially found this gift in return."

?

After saying this, Chunyue strode away.

?

It was as if even a maid didn't want to say a word to him.

?

Shumo was also very angry.

?

But Zhou Zimo walked over quietly and opened the box. There was a sword in the box. After seeing it, Zhou Zimo couldn't help but walked forward and picked up the sword.

?

Then, he couldn't let go and waved it.

?

After a hearty sword fight, Zhou Zimo had to admit that the sword Xie Liuzheng gave him was very much to his liking!

?

Moreover, Zhou Zimo knew that this was a famous sword from ancient times.

?

Zhou Zimo had heard about it from his master before, and he had spent a lot of money and manpower but still couldn't find it. He never thought that Xie Liuzheng would give it to him.

?

Now Zhou Zimo felt that he owed her a huge favor.

?

He was not sure whether Xie Liuzheng knew how precious the sword was, but since the other party had given it to him, Zhou Zimo naturally was reluctant to let it go.

?

Zhou Zimo didn't know that Xie Liuzheng had already guessed the result, but Chunyue was still a little worried.

?

"Miss, you gave him such valuable study treasures before, but Zhou Zimo didn't even look at them. Now if you give him a sword, he might return it immediately."

?

But Xie Liuzheng shook his head, "He won't retreat."

?

Before Chunyue could ask why the young lady was so sure, Xie Liuzheng sent her away first, "Okay Chunyue, your young lady wants to eat Chengji's candied fruit, can you buy some for me? And bring some honeydew melon that my mother likes to eat."

?

After hearing this, Chunyue didn't bother to ask any more questions and hurried out to buy things.

?

In the following days, Xie Liuzheng would send people to deliver things to Zhou Zimo every day. Sometimes it was delicious snacks, sometimes it was some writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, but of course the most common gifts were weapons and secret manuals.

?

Zhou Zimo accepted them all, and gradually he changed his attitude towards Xie Liuzheng. For example, when they met in the mansion, he no longer ignored Xie Liuzheng's presence, but nodded to her instead.

?

But even this movement, which might not be noticed if one didn't look carefully, shocked Chunyue.

?

Xie Liuzheng was not surprised. "Are you surprised?"

?

Chunyue nodded, "Miss, you don't seem surprised at all?"

?

Xie Liuzheng was naturally not surprised, because she knew that she had finally opened the heart of the future champion, all with a sword!

?

In fact, if Zhou Zimo wanted this sword, he only needed to send someone to inquire about it. However, Xie Liuzheng did not know how to make use of this force in his previous life, and ended up killing himself and his mother.

?

In this life, Xie Liuzheng will not be that stupid.

?

Originally, Xie Liuzheng didn't want to create any more trouble, but now that she and Zhou Pan'er would have to confront each other sooner or later, she naturally had to prepare early.

?

Therefore, winning over all the people that Zhou Paner dislikes is Xie Liuzheng's counterattack.

?

Xie Liuzheng doesn't care about the people in the mansion, no matter their status. She just wants to protect her mother and the Xie family!

?

In this life, Xie Liuzheng only wants this.

?

In her previous life, didn’t Qin Shou and Zhou Pan’er bully her because she had no backing and was just the daughter of a merchant?

?

In this life, Xie Liuzheng will show them that she can pave her own bright future as a merchant's daughter.

?

Zhou Pan'er also received the news and learned that Xie Liuzheng had been close to Zhou Zimo recently, which made her a little worried.

?

"You continue to send people to keep an eye on Xie Liuzheng, and it would be best if you could find out why she is so close to Zhou Zimo?"

?

She felt something was wrong, "Why would Xie Liuzheng be so interested in an illegitimate child?"

?

But she didn't have time to care about these things now. When she thought of what Qin Shou said to her yesterday, Zhou Pan'er couldn't wait to meet her lover.

?

When they arrived at a small house not far from the Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Pan'er asked the maid to knock on the door. After the door opened, Zhou Pan'er hurried in.

?

"Pan'er, you're here? Sit down quickly."

?

Qin Shou held her hand affectionately and pulled her to sit in front of him. The two of them were already husband and wife, so he didn't try to avoid suspicion. As long as they were alone, they had no scruples.

?

But now that the maid was present, Qin Shou had to restrain himself a little, and then he kept winking at Zhou Paner.

?

Zhou Pan'er couldn't persuade him, so she had to let the maid go out.

?

But just as Qin Shou was trying to make a move on her, Zhou Paner stopped him and said, "Qin Shou, the imperial examination will be held in two months. We should not meet. You should study hard and prepare for the exam. When you pass the exam, you can go to my father to propose marriage."

?

When Qin Shou heard this, he knew that he would not succeed today.

?

Although he felt disappointed, he had to agree to Zhou Paner's request. After all, the courtyard he lived in now was arranged for him by Zhou Paner.

?

Not to mention that his three meals a day all depend on Zhou Paner.

?

Qin Shou was afraid that Zhou Pan'er would ignore him if he made her unhappy, even though they were already husband and wife.

?

But there is no guarantee that Zhou Pan'er will abandon him.

?

"Don't worry, I will earn a reputation, and then go to the Marquis of Pingxi to ask for your hand in marriage!"

?

After hearing Qin Shou's promise, Zhou Pan'er smiled, "Qin Shou, you know my feelings. You are the only one in my heart. We have a long way to go."

?

After saying a few simple words, Zhou Paner got up and left.

?

She didn't notice that Qin Shou's eyes suddenly darkened.

?

Xie Liuzheng was originally only going to stay in the capital for a few days, but Xie Xiangyu couldn't bear to leave her daughter, so she had no choice but to agree to stay longer.

?

It just so happened that she also wanted to wait and see the results of this imperial examination.

?

Qin Shou naturally would not give up this imperial examination, but Xie Liuzheng naturally would not let him succeed. Doesn’t that scumbag care about his own future the most?

?

Then Xie Liuzheng would crush his future!

?

Thinking of this, Xie Liuzheng ordered Fang Cheng, "Arrange someone to keep a close eye on Qin Guangjin and don't let Qin Shou take people away from Yangzhou!"

?

Qin Guangjin is the key to Xie Liuzheng's control over Qin Shou
