A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Zhao Yichen was a smart man and he quickly understood what Shen Qingqian meant. He said, "Qingqian, don't worry. I will talk to my father about this matter when I go back and ask him to settle our marriage first."

Shen Qingqian had not thought about getting engaged so soon, she just wanted Zhao Yichen's attitude.

"Okay, since you are staying with me with the intention of getting married, then I only have one request, which is that you will not share a husband with other women."

Zhao Yichen was stunned again, obviously not expecting Shen Qingqian to make such a request.

No wonder Zhao Yichen was surprised. In this dynasty, how could a man of Zhao Yichen's status marry only one woman?

However, in Zhao Yichen's heart, Shen Qingqian was always different from others, so it was understandable for him to make such a request.

Besides, with Shen Qingqian, he never thought of marrying another woman.

So, Zhao Yichen readily agreed: "Okay, I promise to only marry Shen Qingqian in this life!"

Shen Qingqian expressed her meaning, and Zhao Yichen also expressed his attitude, which was enough. As for whether the ending could be satisfactory, it was not something she could control.

Isn't it just a matter of doing your best and leaving the rest to fate? There's no need to get too hung up on it.

Zhao Yichen grabbed Shen Qingqian's slender hand again and put the white jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Qing Qian, I bought this bracelet to express my feelings for you. But now, can I give it to you as an engagement token?"

"Okay, then I'll carry it with me from today on!"

Shen Qingqian has never been a pretentious person. Now that her knot has been untied, she can accept it calmly.

Zhao Yichen held her in his arms again, his voice low and magnetic, "Qingqian, treat me as your support, and tell me immediately if you encounter any danger in the future, so that I can help you solve it, okay?"

Shen Qingqian heard the hidden meaning in his words and asked, "What do you know?"

Zhao Yichen said: "I know everything that happened in the ruined temple. You handled it very well, but I am really worried."

"Is this why you came to see me?"

"Well, I want to tell you the general situation so that you can have an idea and be prepared in the future."

"Okay! I was afraid that knowing too much would cause trouble. Now that I have you as my backer, I really want to know the inside story."

Shen Qingqian left his embrace and sat up straight. She felt that it was a bit inappropriate to maintain such an ambiguous posture when talking about such a serious issue.

Zhao Yichen saw that she immediately became serious again, feeling a little helpless. He gently kissed her forehead before telling the story.

"Those women are from General Zheng's family. The cause was that a concubine of the Zheng family was found to be a spy for the Nanling Kingdom, which implicated the entire Zheng family.

The Zheng family was sealed off, and all the men, women, and children in the family were sentenced to exile to the northern border, where they could only return to Beijing after serving three years of hard labor.

However, the northern border is a bitterly cold place, and women who go there basically cannot survive, and there is a high possibility that they will never return.

Later, after the prince's negotiation, the women of the Zheng family were exempted from the service in the northern border, and were instead sent to serve in the gravel quarry in Tai'an Town for three years."

Shen Qingqian interrupted, "So they are going to be sent to the quarry in Tai'an Town?"

Zhao Yichen said: "Yes, how come you know where it is?"

Of course Shen Qingqian knew about the stone quarry. She had been there once! After Yingzi's grandfather was arrested, he was sent there to work. It was Shen Qingqian who redeemed him.

"I know. That stone quarry belongs to the territory of Tai'an Town and is under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Zhu. County Magistrate Zhu is a good official and did not abuse the prisoners there. It is indeed not too serious to send people there. It seems that the prince really helped with all his heart!

By the way, those escorting officers should also be the prince's men, right? I have never seen an officer be so gentle to a prisoner, it's obvious that they are letting him off. "

Zhao Yichen smiled and nodded, not surprised that she could guess this. He continued, "Eunuch Qiao was close to Concubine Dong, and eunuchs in the palace cannot leave the palace at will. This time, Eunuch Qiao died outside, and Concubine Dong dared not make it public.

However, Concubine Dong has always been strong, and there is no way she would suffer such a loss."

Shen Qingqian understood that Eunuch Qiao was secretly sent by Concubine Dong to kill the Zheng family women. It was a sure thing, but it failed because of their presence. It was Eunuch Qiao who died.

Therefore, once this matter is found out to be related to her, it will bring trouble to the great Buddha, Concubine Dong.

It was for this reason that Zhao Yichen came specially to reveal so many court matters to her so that she would be on guard.

As for the hatred and grudge between the Zheng family and Concubine Dong, and what happened to the envelope, Zhao Yichen probably thought that these had nothing to do with Shen Qingqian, so he didn't mention it.

However, Zhao Yichen brought up another matter.

"I have already found out some clues about the people who robbed and killed you outside Xiangyang City last time. They were just ordinary killers, and the person who hired them came from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Shen Qingqian was confused, "But I haven't offended them. Why would they hire someone to rob and kill me?"

Zhao Yichen said: "I haven't found out yet, but I will definitely find out as soon as possible!"

However, Shen Qingqian soon figured out the reason! She was sure that she had never had any contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the only possibility was that the Prime Minister's daughter, Dong Yurou, whom she had met last time!

If Dong Yurou did it, then the reason must be Zhao Yichen. She discovered it last time in Zhao Yichen's house. Dong Yurou clearly liked Zhao Yichen, and she liked him very much!

But I didn't expect this woman to be so cruel! She wanted to kill her just because she had a good relationship with Zhao Yichen!

It seems that Zhao Yichen is still a beauty who brings disaster upon herself, and she actually brought her fatal disaster!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Zhao Yichen. The man had sword-like eyebrows, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes with slightly upturned corners, a high nose bridge, and lips that were neither thin nor thick. He looked quite sexy.

Zhao Yichen felt a little nervous and his heartbeat quickened when he found Shen Qingqian staring at him like a prey. He touched his face and said hesitantly, "Is there nothing on my face?"

"Have!"

Shen Qingqian answered simply with one word.

"have what?"

Zhao Yichen touched his face again.

This time Shen Qingqian pretended to be angry and said loudly: "There is a rotten peach blossom!"

"Bad love affair? Qingqian, what do you mean by that?"

Zhao Yichen looked innocent.

Shen Qingqian said: "I guess the person who hired someone to kill me was Dong Yurou, and the motive was because of you!"

"Because of me? You mean Dong Yurou..."

Zhao Yichen knew of course that Dong Yurou liked him, so when Shen Qingqian mentioned this, he guessed what she meant.
