The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 164 I Can't Marry You (2)
Wei Mingzhen also felt Zhao Jing's strangeness, and stretched out his hand to support her. Her palm was a little cold, her body trembled slightly, and she walked forward stiffly.Wei Mingzhen hugged Zhao Jing and helped her to the carriage not far away.

And just a few steps away from them, Xu Si'an was coming out from the gate of the temple.

It was already spring, there was no heater in the carriage, Zhao Jing was sitting in a corner, she was not wearing a cloak, she hugged her knees and curled up into a small ball, staring blankly.She didn't even know whether she should be sad or not, after all... this was just the origin of this original body, and she didn't seem to have any major ties with her, but the tears still fell down.

Zhao Jing still felt a little sad when she thought that her brother and sister-in-law who loved her were actually not related to her by blood.However, since they didn't disclose this matter, they must also be thinking that they can be their little sister forever.Thinking of this, Zhao Jing felt a little relieved again. She wiped away her tears, and suddenly remembered that she had unknowingly got into Wei Mingzhen's carriage.

"Sorry, I'm with..." Zhao Jing said half a sentence, but she was afraid that Wei Mingzhen might misunderstand, and continued: "Uncle Guo, let me go, if I leave alone, the people with me will be anxious .”

Wei Mingzhen hooked his lips, and with a smile, he rolled up the curtain of the carriage. Not more than a hundred paces behind the carriage, the carriage of Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was following at a leisurely pace.

"Miss Zhao doesn't need to call my country's uncle anymore. Dayong no longer has a country's uncle." Wei Mingzhen said lightly, with a somewhat rebellious expression on his eyebrows, not as frivolous and unruly as before, but on the contrary, it makes people feel upright A few points.

Zhao Jing raised her eyebrows, looked up at Wei Mingzhen, and asked him, "Uncle Guo, have you figured it out? What about your wife and daughter? You don't want them either?"

"She has always married the uncle Wei Mingzhen, not the common man Wei Mingzhen." Wei Mingzhen pursed his lips and smiled lightly, his beautiful peach eyes narrowed into a thin line, suddenly raised his head and said to Zhao Jing: "Miss Zhao, I was wrong before, I shouldn't force it on you, if you marry in the future, you must marry the man you really like."

Zhao Jing got off Wei Mingzhen's carriage, she stood on the endless and long official road, and saw Xu Si'an's carriage stopped in front of her, the man poked his head out from the curtain of the carriage with a livid face, and looked down at her.

Zhao Jing stood on the spot with her hands clenched into fists. She looked up at Xu Si'an. This man was upright, excellent, and responsible, but did she really like him?Or just surrender to his power, status, and entanglements that cannot be explained after that night?

Zhao Jing is a little confused, she urgently needs a haven of shelter now, but she doesn't want this relationship to become a kind of dependence and escape, which is unfair to Xu Si'an.

What's more...she doesn't even know who she is now...

Zhao Jing hugged Xu Si'an, and managed to force out a sentence: "Master Hou, I can't marry you now, please Master Hou..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Si'an jumped out of the car. He stood with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Changshun, send Mr. Zhao back to Beijing."

Xu Si'an's figure became farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from Zhao Jing's sight.

Zhao Jing put down the curtain of the car and leaned against the rickety carriage. She didn't know where to go, she didn't want to go back to the small courtyard of her brother and sister-in-law, she didn't know how to deal with being so attentive every day. Treating her brother and sister-in-law; she also didn't want to go back to Marquis Wu'an Mansion, and she didn't want to see Xu Si'an, which made her already wavering heart a little more uncomfortable.

Zhao Jing finally went to Aunt Zhu's Xingyue Tower and sat in the small flower hall on the second floor. She was holding a teacup and could hear the babbling and singing in the pavilion behind.

"Girl Jing, why are you here again? Could it be that you also fell in love with the Xingyuelou wine scene?"

"I have nowhere to go. I thought maybe you could come here and squeeze in. If you don't take me in, I'm going to sleep on the street."

Zhao Jing said something jokingly, and sighed leisurely, she made a mistake again today, she paid for the sesame oil of the two longevity tablets, if Zhao Yong goes by then, the two sides will be combined, this Things just fell into place.

"Why do you have no place to go? Your brother and sister-in-law are very kind to you, unlike me, a brother who is not up to date in the family, who only wants to get money from me." Aunt Zhu sat down and looked at Zhao Jing slightly frowned and opened her mouth.

"Brother and sister-in-law are very kind to me, but..." Zhao Jing weighed the teacup in her palm, thinking that in this world, she doesn't even have anyone who can speak her heart, and she felt a little uncomfortable again: " Aunt Zhu, how much older are you than me, now I only treat you as my own sister, what do you think women like us who came out of the palace want?"

"Then what are you trying to do when you come out of the palace?" Aunt Zhu looked at Zhao Jing and asked her with a smile on her face.

Zhao Jing frowned and thought for a while: "At first, I just wanted to leave the palace, and thought that everything outside the palace was good, as if as long as I could breathe the air outside, the whole person would come back to life. But I didn't expect that now... ..." She drooped her brows, her own strong temper finally ran into a wall outside.

"You...it's not so easy in this world. It's not easy for a woman to gain a foothold outside, and you have such a face, I'm afraid it's even more difficult. In my opinion, listen to my persuasion. If there is a good man, Let's get married early."
