Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

On the 8th day of camping outdoors in Jinling, Xie Shi received a message from Qingyi, confirming what Li Yuening said.

The fourth prince Xiao Chuhan was named King of Han in Jingzhe and sent to the northwest to take office. He was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned, which completely put an end to the fourth prince Xiao Chuhan's fight for the crown prince.

Just as Li Yuening guessed, the emperor ordered a large-scale migration of population from several states in the south of the Yangtze River, and the head of the Xie family concealed the news and kept it secret, so they must have not made a decision yet.

Although no clear decree had been issued, the clans in Yecheng had already smelled the scent and started to take actions in private. It took Qingyi a lot of effort to find out about this.

Xie Shi couldn't guarantee that the Xie family wouldn't abandon them, so he could only rush back to Jinling as soon as possible to tell his grandfather the news. If they were really abandoned by the family, they couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

After calming down his emotions, Xie Shi returned to the team and looked at the quiet carriage. He was impressed once again by Li Yuening's intelligence and agility for being able to think of so much based on just one story, and it was so close to the truth.

If he missed the chance to marry such a young lady, it would be a lifelong regret for Xie Shi. They would arrive in Jinling tomorrow, and Xie Shi made up his mind and walked towards the carriage.

Li Yuening opened the curtain of the carriage window and met Xie Shi's eyes. She couldn't see his face clearly in the dark night, but Li Yuening felt that he was smiling.

Li Yuening, "Xie Langjun, what do you want to see Yuening so late at night?"

Xie Shi came to see her at this time. Judging from the date, could it be a response to the previous matter?

Xie Shi, "Well, regarding what my wife told me before, I have asked someone to investigate and now have a conclusion. I wonder if my wife is interested in chatting about it?"

It was indeed this matter. Li Yuening thought about it for a moment and said, "My dear, please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Li Yuening lowered the curtain and woke Xiaosui'er up. Although she knew Xie Shi would not have any ill intentions, Li Yuening still pretended to do so with her maid.

"Madam? Do you want to go to the bathroom?" The sleepy Xiaosui rubbed his eyes and muttered.

"Come with me somewhere first, and then sleep when you come back." Li Yuening coaxed gently.

The master and servant got off the carriage. Yun Zhuo, who was resting on a tree branch not far away, heard the noise and opened his eyelids to take a look. He saw that Xie Shi had also closed his eyes and dozed off again.

Xie Shi took them a little distance away from the team before apologizing, "Please don't blame me, Madam, for being so urgent."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie, there must be something important. Yue Ning, please come."

Xie Shi glanced at the alert Xiao Sui'er and said to Li Yuening, "My wife asked me before which of the Xie family's second branch is suitable for you. I have already come to a conclusion."

Li Yuening raised her eyebrows, "Really? Mr. Xie asked someone to find out so quickly?"

Xie Shi choked. How could he believe what he heard while seeing was true when he was still here? Li Yuening was so smart that she must have guessed who he was and deliberately forced him to admit that he was from the second branch of the Xie family.

Xie Shi, "I had no choice but to conceal my identity before. I would like to apologize to you. It is true that I have a bad reputation in Jinling City, so I dare not offend you."

"Then why not keep it secret?"

Xie Shi knew that Li Yuening couldn't see but his ears were still warmed. "Xie Shi knows that Madam Li is not the kind of person who just follows others' advice, but I can't afford to take the risk and I dare not take the risk. Xie Shi wants an opportunity, an opportunity to stand beside Madam Li."

Xie Shi bent down and bowed.

"Although Xie Shi is not my wife's best choice among the Xie family, he is the most sincere person."

Li Yuening heard the sincerity in Xie Shi's tone and smiled. Smart people often think long-term and are more willing to bend down. "Although I don't know what you like about Yuening, please listen to Yuening's request first. If you can agree to it, I will consider your suggestion."

"Madam, please speak."

"If we get married, we have to wait until I am 18 years old before we can consummate the marriage. Yue Ning has read some medical books, which say that men and women who have sex too early will have a bad impact on their lifespan, and that women who have not fully developed will have a bad impact on childbirth."

Li Yuening is only 15 years old now and her body has just begun to develop. If she really gets pregnant, she will be the one who suffers. Besides, Xie Shi is only 17 years old. This is one of the reasons why he was chosen. Since he is young, he will not be forced to give birth or raise children. It is only a matter of time for her to have a baby here.

Xie Shi blushed when he heard Li Yuening's straightforward words. Fortunately, it was not visible in the dark night. He stuttered back, "I...I don't...have any objection."

Li Yuening was surprised. How could Xie Shi, who had been hanging out in the brothels of the Chu House since childhood, be so immature? Perhaps people of this era were more reserved about matters between men and women.

Seeing Xie Shi agreed, Li Yuening continued, "After marriage, I may not be able to be a good wife who is at the center of everyone's eyes, trapped in the backyard and waits for her husband to love and pamper her.

In my humble opinion, it is better for a couple to support, respect and tolerate each other, and be able to trust each other with their loved ones instead of being polite to each other. "

In the Jin Dynasty, where the husband is the leader and a woman's virtue is defined by her lack of talent, Li Yuening's remarks are truly bold.

Xie Shi opened and closed his mouth in surprise, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. In his limited 17 years, Xie Shi thought that he would marry a woman of the right age and give her his surname. His wife would give him children, and he would be a good husband and a good father. But he never thought about how to get along with his wife.

It seems like everything is going smoothly but something is missing.

Li Yuening is not bound by secular ethics and will even show up in public as Mrs. Xie Li in the near future and do things that ordinary ladies would not dare to do. Hearing her rebellious remarks, Xie Shi was only surprised but not angry. What exactly does she rely on?

Li Yuening waited for a long time but Xie Shi didn't speak. She was not in a hurry. Just when she was about to throw some bait, she heard Xie Shi laugh and said, "I am really surprised by your idea. If you didn't say this to me, I would have been scared away by your words."

Li Yuening was not disappointed when she didn't get the answer she wanted. She was worried when she got it too easily. "Be honest, frank, and open-minded. A man cannot stand without trust. Although I am a girl, I can take it or leave it. I believe you are the same as me. Life is a gamble. I bet on myself to win. I have the ability to do it."

The confidence in her words made Xie Shi excited. Li Yuening had the heroic spirit of a chivalrous man, and being with her made him feel relaxed.

After thinking for a while, Xie Shi said, "I'm on the table for this bet." After that, he raised his hand, wanting to high-five with Li Yuening to make a covenant, but then he realized that in the dark he could only listen to the tone of voice to distinguish the words, so how could he see the palm of his hand.

He didn't want to feel the warmth and soft touch on his palm, but it disappeared immediately and Xie Shi almost ignored it.

Li Yuening's voice was heard again, "My dear, why did you ask me out so late at night? I'm afraid it's not just this?"

Xie Shi then talked about another important event of the day, "Madam, you are very wise, I am not as good as you. The news from Yecheng has been confirmed. It has been less than a month since the fourth prince Jingzhe left for a trip. The news of the division of the clan has already spread among the clan. In your opinion, how should the Xie family deal with it?"

Xie Shi wanted to hear Li Yuening's thoughts.
