Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 44

When Zhao Mingtang heard her gentle footsteps, he couldn't help but tense his muscles.People who practice martial arts don't easily allow people to approach them from behind.

"My lord, although it's already summer, the night is still a bit cold, my lord should put on a quilt." As he spoke, Xiao Wenqing slowly covered Zhao Mingtang's body with the quilt in his hand.

Zhao Mingtang saw that there were two quilts on the bed today, so he accepted Xiao Wenqing's kindness. "Wen Qing, you have been frightened for a day, please rest quickly." He said.Xiao Wenqing was a big accident, and he needed to carefully consider the possibility of her and himself.

"Yes, my lord." Xiao Wenqing said, returned to the bed, took off a set of clothes that Mrs. Xu lent her outside, and got into the bed.

The red candle on the wedding night in the bridal chamber cannot be blown out, only let it burn to the end.A few sparks exploded from the red candle, Xiao Wenqing and Zhao Mingtang were lying on the bed and sleeping on the bench, neither of them spoke.

It was very quiet in the room, Xiao Wenqing could faintly hear Zhao Mingtang's breathing, his breathing was long and long, maybe he had fallen asleep.She turned over and lay on her side facing him, observing his figure through the bed curtain.This man can entrust his whole life, but can he entrust all his feelings?Since she was a child, she longed for a man to pamper herself like her father pampered her mother. Can this man do it?

Xiao Wenqing sighed softly, she felt that Long Wangshu had become greedy.She was originally a maid who signed a contract of selling herself to death. It is already a gift from heaven to be able to turn back into a commoner and marry a man as his wife; Waiting for the opportunity to return home to find relatives in the future.

"Wenqing, are you still awake?" Zhao Mingtang who Xiao Wenqing thought was asleep suddenly asked.

"My lord, I'm sorry, Wenqing made you suffer. The bed is very big, you should come up and sleep." Xiao Wenqing hurriedly said, wrapped in the quilt and moved into the bed.It must be uncomfortable for a big man to sleep curled up on a bench.

"No need." Zhao Mingtang said.As a martial arts practitioner, he still has some sleep skills.

"My lord..." Xiao Wenqing said earnestly, "You and I are already husband and wife, please don't be shy. You should go to bed and rest. It is the wife's fault to let the husband sleep unsteadily."

"Wen Qing, you can't sleep either?" Zhao Mingtang, who was lying on the long bench, said calmly, "Wen Qing, where is your origin? Who is your father?"

Xiao Wenqing hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I am originally from Xiaojia Village, Changhe Town, Xiling. My father's name is taboo Xiao Yiyun, who died early, and my mother and younger brother who are six years younger than me are still at home." Disgrace the reputation that the ancestors care about.

Xiao Yiyun from Xiaojia Village, Changhe Town, Xiling County...

Zhao Mingtang memorized it silently, and continued to ask: "Why did you become a servant girl?"

"Father..." Xiao Wenqing paused, and said sadly, "Father was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Kangqing, and was appointed magistrate in Changxing by the emperor. My mother and I went with him. Changxing is poor and busy with official duties. My late father fell ill due to overwork and unfortunately passed away. My mother, my brother, and I carried the coffin back home. On the way, we encountered bandits, my mother, and my brother were separated, and we were discovered by a child. Since then, we have been resold successively, and finally became legal slaves.”

No wonder she has an elegant temperament that a maid does not have. It turns out that her father was a magistrate who was born as a Jinshi.

Zhao Mingtang was invigorated when he heard this, and quickly planned for Xiao Wenqing's future in his mind.

"You really want to go back to your hometown to find relatives, don't you?" Zhao Mingtang asked.

"Yes." Xiao Wenqing whimpered slightly, "I have returned to my hometown countless times in my dreams and saw my mother and younger brother."

"In the future, I will accompany you to Xiaojia Village, Changhe Town to look for relatives." Zhao Mingtang said.If he wanted Xiao Wenqing to be his real wife, he had to go to Xiao Family Village.

"Really?" Xiao Wenqing was surprised and delighted at the same time. She was married, and she could not go back to her hometown to look for relatives without the consent of her mother-in-law and husband-in-law.

"Well, it's just that I can't be sure when." Zhao Mingtang said, he has his own things to do, and he doesn't mean that he can leave just by leaving.

Xiao Wenqing reached out her hand to wipe away the uncontrollable tears from the corners of her eyes, and said gratefully, "As long as the adults agree, any time is fine." She only remembered the name of her hometown, but she didn't remember where it was at all.

Xiao Wenqing had some understanding of Zhao Mingtang's thoughtfulness, and said sincerely: "My lord, the long bench can't sleep peacefully, you'd better go to bed." Two quilts, one for each of the two, can keep the water in the well.

Zhao Mingtang was silent for a long time, and said, "Let's sleep like this for now." He needs to spend more time with this wife before he can trust her.

Xiao Wenqing had no choice but to say: "Since my lord has made up my mind, I won't persuade you much, please rest early." She turned over again, cleared her mind and tried to let herself sleep peacefully.

Since last night, she has been worried, sad, regretful and desperate, and today she has started to die again, and suddenly married as a wife when she was desperate. , So she relaxed her heart and fell asleep in a daze.
