Zhou Zheng was still very angry when he thought about what Zhou Zimo had done.

?

"Zimo is too ignorant of propriety. How dare he kidnap you? Moreover, he disregarded military discipline. He must not be let off lightly."

?

Xie Liuzheng tried to persuade him, but Zhou Zheng didn't listen. "Okay, Liuzheng, you don't have to say anything more. You finally came back, so spend some time with Xiangyu. She's exhausted herself looking for you these days!"

?

"Xiangyu, I still have some official business to attend to. Please stay with Liu Zheng."

?

After saying that, Zhou Zheng strode away, leaving the place to Xie Xiangyu and her daughter.

?

Xie Xiangyu tightly grasped her daughter's hand, tears falling from her eyes. "Liu Zheng, my Liu Zheng, where did Zhou Zimo take you? Why can't I find you?"

?

In this regard, Xie Liuzheng did not reveal the location of the small village. She only said, "It is a secluded place. There, we work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. Our lives are very fulfilling."

?

"Then, then has he treated you..." Xie Xiangyu couldn't help but ask out her concerns.

?

She was really afraid that Zhou Zimo would force Liu Zheng, and in order not to make her worry, Liu Zheng could only put on a forced smile!

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng felt a little embarrassed, but she still shook her head gently, "He didn't! Mother, the eldest master is a gentleman, how could he do such a thing to his daughter?"

?

Xie Xiangyu curled her lips, "If he is really a gentleman, why would he kidnap you?"

?

Xie Liuzheng was speechless for a moment.

?

The mother and daughter talked for a while afterwards. Seeing that Xie Xiangyu looked tired, Xie Liuzheng accompanied her to eat some food and let her mother rest.

?

She returned to her own courtyard, and as soon as she entered, she saw two maids with swollen eyes from crying.

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but sigh, "Chunyue, Xiayue, what's wrong with you? Your young lady has returned intact, why are you still crying?"

?

"Don't you want me to come back? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come back."

?

Hearing this, the two maids rushed over and hugged Xie Liuzheng tightly. To them, Xie Liuzheng was not just a young lady, but more like their relative.

?

Xie Liuzheng comforted the two for a long time before they stopped crying.

?

Soon Chunyue brought a letter and handed it to Xie Liuzheng, "Oh, Miss, this is from Lord Qi, but you disappeared and I couldn't find you, so I didn't give you the letter. Now that you're back, please write back to Lord Qi."

?

"By the way, Master Qi also helped in finding the young lady."

?

Xia Yue also had a good impression of Qi Shan. After all, Qi Shan was as gentle as jade, and he was kind to the young lady. As a maid, she naturally stood on Qi Shan's side.

?

As for Zhou Zimo, who kidnapped the young lady, the two maids put him on the list of people they refused to have any contact with.

?

Xie Liuzheng didn't expect Qi Shan to write a letter to her. She took it suspiciously, then opened it and read it.

?

After a while, she sighed quietly, "You go prepare the car, I will go to see Master Qi in person."

?

She thought that if she didn't respond for a long time, Qi Shan would know what she meant, but now Xie Liuzheng felt that she had to make it clear to Qi Shan.

?

She had never met Qi Shan in her previous life, and when she helped Qi Shan, it was only out of sympathy.

?

But she didn't expect Qi Shan to become the top scorer in the imperial examination and to...

?

Xie Liuzheng was very grateful for Qi Shan's kindness, but she would not accept it.

?

Although she persuaded Zhou Zimo, Xie Liuzheng was still deeply moved by his interactions during these days.

?

If Xie Liuzheng said that she was not moved at all, she would definitely be lying.

?

But she was not sure whether she could end up with Zhou Zimo.

?

However, Xie Liuzheng, who had never considered personal relationships, was very open-minded about this relationship.

?

If the two are destined to be together, they will naturally end up together, but if they are not destined to be together, then she will naturally not force it!

?

But Qi Shan, Xie Liuzheng was very clear about his feelings.

?

When she arrived at the gate of Qi Shan's small courtyard and just got out of the car, she saw Qi Shan coming out to greet her.

?

"Thank you, Miss Xie! My mother is still talking about you, asking why you haven't come to see her these days."

?

Seeing Xie Liuzheng standing in front of him unharmed, Qi Shan's heart finally settled down.

?

God knows how he managed to get through these days.

?

As soon as he learned that Xie Liuzheng was missing, Qi Shan immediately sent people to look for her everywhere, and even alarmed the teacher, hoping that the teacher could help him find her.

?

Fortunately, Xie Liuzheng was fine, otherwise Qi Shan would have blamed himself to death.

?

"Master Qi, I came here today because I have something to say. Please spare me a moment to talk."

?

Qi Shan nodded and followed her out the door. There was no one there.

?

Xie Liuzheng returned the letter and betrothal gifts sent by Qi Shan to him.

?

Qi Shan immediately understood what she meant, but he did not reach out to take it.

?

"Miss Xie, I know you have high standards. I may not be the perfect son-in-law in your eyes yet, but I hope you can give me a chance. I will definitely work hard to become the person you want me to be!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng slowly shook his head, "Master Qi, you are actually already very good. It's all because of me! Let me tell you a story."

?

"Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to marry a well-educated fiancé. She was willing to spend all her family wealth to support her fiancé's studies. However, after her fiancé passed high school, her daughter went to the capital, but was forced by her fiancé to become a secret prostitute... In the end, her mother died tragically, and the girl also died at the hands of her fiancé!"

?

Xie Liuzheng's tone was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story, but Qi Shan noticed her clenched fists.

?

He knew that Xie Liuzheng was talking about her story!

?

But Qi Shan was a little confused. He had heard that Xie Liuzheng had been engaged, but didn’t she already break off the engagement?

?

As if seeing Qi Shan's doubts, Xie Liuzheng took the initiative to confess, "Master Qi, the woman in the story just now is me! And I am a reborn person. I will not get married in this life because my experience in the previous life made me afraid of men!"

?

"Of course I'm not saying that you, Lord Qi, are not a good person like Qin Shou. It's just that in my situation, I can't accept a man, and I don't want to depend on a man. I just want to live a wonderful life of my own!"

?

"Please help me, Master Qi!"

?

Hearing this, Qi Shan laughed at himself, "Is Miss Xie really so extreme? After being hurt by Qin Shou, she won't accept other men?"

?

"Then I will grant your wish, young lady! But I hope that if one day, young lady changes her mind, she will think of me first!"

?

After all, Qi Shan still didn't want to miss Xie Liuzheng. He could wait for Xie Liuzheng to change her mind. No matter how long it took, he would wait for her.
