Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 223

"Brother Zhao, don't be so polite all the time. Wenqing is your sister, and I am your brother-in-law." Ling Yuxuan said sincerely, returning the courtesy with fists.He admired this taciturn man with a cold face and a warm heart.

"Wenqing pays homage to elder brother, he is well." Xiao Wenqing came over and Zhao Mingtang paid his respects.

One night in March last year, she suddenly had a nightmare, and then the nightmare began to become reality in her life little by little.She humiliated her family and became someone else's concubine, firstly because she was afraid of death, and secondly, because she wanted to return home one day to find relatives, but if she was a concubine, she would be deprived of her mother and keep her children. Fight ahead to change the future.Because of the precognitive dream, she knew that Zhao Mingtang was a taciturn, ugly and kind-hearted person, so she tried to use him to escape the terrible fate.

Probably since she tried to change her own destiny, her destiny began to change.In her dream, was it the real Zhao Mingtang who helped the old man get up in the snow, or Yuxuan pretending to be Zhao Mingtang?Because of her change of fate, the fate of the He Mansion was different from the He Mansion in her dream. Master He committed the crime of dereliction of duty. The right to hire guards, so in reality, in December last year, Zhao Mingtang was no longer a guard, and it was impossible for her to see Zhao Mingtang helping the old servant who had slipped on the snow in the back house of the He Mansion.

After the fate-changing marriage, she fell in love with Zhao Mingtang, hoping to become his real wife, but she never thought that it was Yuxuan who had the face of Zhao Mingtang at that time.Although she judges people by character and not face, sometimes she can't help but wonder now, when Yu Xuan replaced Zhao Mingtang in disguise, if his personality completely imitated Zhao Mingtang, would the person she liked at that time be Zhao Mingtang or Yuxuan?This question is unsolvable, because what she loves now is Yuxuan, even if Yuxuan imitates Zhao Mingtang with Zhao Mingtang's appearance, he is still Yuxuan.

"Sister." Zhao Mingtang immediately saluted his god-sister whom he had only met once, feeling a little embarrassed and awkward.He didn't understand her, but the mother nagged every day during the two of them and after they left, why the prime minister's son pretended to be him and snatched her good daughter-in-law away abruptly.

Xiao Wenqing got up, saluted Aunt Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao who came over and said, "Godmother, sister-in-law, Yuxuan and I are here to visit you again."

"When the honored guests come to the door, the fluffy plants will shine." Aunt Zhao said happily.Seeing Crystal Agate and a familiar young man holding gift packages in his hands, she shook her head again and again, "Just come here, it's too unusual to bring gifts every time."

Xiao Wenqing said with a smile: "Mother, these are not expensive gifts, Yuxuan and I bought them on the way here, a few pieces of fabric, a few bags of pastries, candied fruit, fruits, two or three little things that can be played by Niuniu. It’s just a little thought, sister-in-law, don’t refuse.” Some of the things they bought for themselves on the way hired a shop boy to send them to the prime minister’s mansion, and those they were going to send to Liu’s mansion were deposited in a trustworthy shop , and get it when you turn around.

While she was talking, Crystal Agate Lue and Nan Fei stepped forward together and handed gifts to the Zhao family.

"It's good to come next time, there is really no need to give gifts." Aunt Zhao smiled and asked her son and daughter-in-law to collect the gifts.

"Lord Ling, is this your bodyguard? Dare I ask this brother's name." Zhao Mingtang asked, his gaze fell on Nan Fei's hand.He could tell at a glance that this young man with a sword was Ling Yuxuan's bodyguard, and his kung fu was still superior to his own. He seemed to be a specially trained martial arts master.

"Brother Zhao, this is Nan Fei, one of my bodyguards, from a certain army in the west." Ling Yuxuan said with a smile.The bodyguards trained by the Prime Minister's Mansion are nominally from some troops in other provinces, and their backgrounds are similar to those of other high-ranking officials from other aristocratic families.

"Master Zhao." Nan Fei cupped his fists and saluted Zhao Mingtang.Because of his master Ling Yuxuan, he knew Zhao Mingtang quite well, but Zhao Mingtang, who had been replaced by Ling Yuxuan, knew nothing about him.

"Master Nan." Zhao Mingtang returned the salute meticulously.The guards hired by the high-ranking officials are all from the army, and in the eyes of the common people, they are all adults. Although he is now the general in the black shirt army of Phoenix Mountain, he does not regard himself as noble.

"It's cold outside, don't you all stand outside and talk." Aunt Zhao urged enthusiastically, and drove everyone into the house.

"Lord Ling, Lord Nan, please." Zhao Mingtang said, extending his hand to invite the two male guests.

"Wenqing, you three girls, go inside too." Mrs. Zhao, who was holding a gift, immediately invited Xiao Wenqing and the three maids.

When everyone entered the room, Aunt Zhao warmly invited everyone to sit down, Crystal Agate Lue stood aside with a smile, and Nan Fei stood behind Ling Yuxuan.Mrs. Zhao put all the gifts in the east room where Mrs. Zhao lived, and then quickly went to the kitchen to make tea.

Since Zhao Mingtang is also an official, there are more opportunities for guests to come to the house than before, Aunt Zhao prepared some melons and fruits for guests at home, and now she took out melon seeds and peanuts and invited everyone to eat.Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhao enthusiastically stayed guests for lunch, Ling Yuxuan felt that since the host was at home, they might as well be guests at Zhao's house, so he sent Nan Fei... together with Crystal to find a restaurant for a reservation.

Everyone greeted each other, and Ling Yuxuan asked about Zhao Mingtang's military camp.Zhao Mingtang knew Ling Yuxuan's identity, and also saw him patrolling the barracks with the Major General of the Black Shirt Army, so he knew everything Ling Yuxuan asked.The women were not interested in this kind of thing, and it happened that Niu Niu who was sleeping in the West Room was crying, and Aunt Zhao immediately led Xiao Wenqing and the maids into the house to see Niu Niu.
