"You'd better put me down. Everyone around is watching."

What Wei Songhan values ​​most is his reputation. If so many people saw him like this and some bad rumors spread, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter. Your business is more important."

Normally Wei Songhan looks like a weak scholar, but at this moment he is very strong.

He completely ignored the various looks from the people around him, walked steadily, held Jing Zhuo tightly in his arms, and walked through the crowd until he safely sent her back to the gate of Jing Mansion.

"Qiuyun, prepare some hot water for your little... young master immediately, so she can take a good hot bath."

Jing Zhuo found that he was soaked all over, "Master Wei, you should also change into dry clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Wei Songhan waved his hand: "It's okay, I have some urgent matters to deal with, I'll be back soon."

Seeing this, Jing Zhuo hurriedly called Qiu Yun and said, "Qiu Yun, quickly arrange for the guards in the mansion and quietly follow Lord Wei. He is unfamiliar with the place. A-choo."

She should take a nice hot bath, as she has been through so many misfortunes these past few days.

When Wei Songhan came back, it was already evening. The setting sun shone on his shoulders, and he walked slowly towards Jing Zhuo.

"Do you feel any discomfort?" he asked softly, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Nothing wrong, but you, you were in such a hurry before, where did you go?"

"I just went to the governor's residence," he smiled calmly, "Don't worry, he will never do such things again from now on."

This time, he only used words of persuasion, with a hint of warning. If the governor still persisted in his wrongdoings, I'm afraid his official hat would be in jeopardy.

Soon, the governor came personally with gifts to seek forgiveness.

Jing Zhuo looked at the huge group of people outside the door and couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Master Wei, are you really going to refuse entry?"

"An apology is useless if it is not sincere. Moreover, you and I have experienced the disaster of falling into the water together. Aren't we more embarrassed than him?" Wei Songhan looked calm.

"That makes sense."

In a turbulent world, sticking to principles can sometimes make you a rare source of clarity.

As for Wei Songhan, he was so decisive and had such strong execution ability that even Jing Zhuo couldn't help but respect him.

After falling into the water, he rushed to the governor's residence without even changing his clothes, just to seek justice for her.

In just these few days, her impression of him has changed a lot.

"Master Wei, go change your clothes and take a hot bath!"

Jing Zhuo led him to the prepared room and said, "If the water in the pool gets cold, just call the servant outside the door and he will come and add hot water for you."

"Thank you, Master Jing, for your thoughtful arrangements."

"You're welcome. This is as it should be."

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, "Master Jing, you can leave now."

Jing Zhuo's face flushed, "I'm leaving first..."

Wei Songhan slowly sank into the warm bath, his body surrounded by warmth, but a sense of nostalgia inexplicably arose in his heart. He seemed more and more reluctant to leave here.

As they were leaving tomorrow, Wei Songhan went to see the two children again. They were well taken care of by their wet nurse and they giggled as soon as they saw him.

The corners of Wei Songhan's mouth rose unconsciously, and his heart was filled with unprecedented warmth. He had never expected that there would be two little lives in this world who were of the same blood as him.

At first I just thought they looked alike, but now that I look closely, the expression between their eyebrows and eyes is exactly the same as my younger brother and sister when they were young.

Jing Zhuo stood not far away, watching the scene quietly, with a warm feeling surging in his heart.

I thought to myself: If he knew the child was mine, would he really stay to accompany me?

However, as soon as the thought came to her mind, Jing Zhuo gently shook her head. She understood that all this was just her wishful thinking. The reality lay ahead and did not allow her to have such naive fantasies.

The night is as dark as water, and the time of separation is quietly approaching.

Jing Zhuo instructed: "I have sent someone to load those things on your carriage. Be careful on your way back."

"Okay, thank you."

"If you have the chance to visit Linzhou again in the future, I will take you around. Two days is still too short."

"it is good."

Seeing the other party's indifferent reaction, Jing Zhuo couldn't help feeling disappointed.

When Jing Zhuo turned around and prepared to leave, Wei Songhan had already made up his mind. He reached out his hand involuntarily and gently clasped her wrist.

Jing Zhuo's heart was slightly moved, but his face showed some confusion: "Master Wei, do you have anything else to say?"

"Would you like me to stay?"

Jing Zhuoqiang forced a smile: "Master Wei, aren't you teasing me?"

How could she easily control such matters?

"I know... Actually, you are a girl." Wei Songhan's voice was a little messy. "Huan'er and Yu'er are not born to concubines, but your own children, right?"

Jing Zhuo felt his heart beating like a drum, "What kind of joke is Lord Wei playing?"

"There are only you and me here. You don't need to hide anything anymore. I already know everything."

Jing Zhuo frowned slightly and asked, "Even so, what does this have to do with Lord Wei?"

Wei Songhan's voice was slightly anxious: "Of course it is related. I know that those two children were born for me."

"No, they are not born for you, but for myself." Jing Zhuo explained, but then he realized that she was admitting that the child was his.

"It is true. The woman that night was you... Jing Zhuo."

"Even if it's true, what can we do? How can a woman like me from a merchant family be tolerated under the gate of Lord Wei's mansion? I have dressed as a man for many years just to have a smooth journey in the business world. After all, this world is always a little unfair to women."

Now that the secret has been revealed, she simply stops hiding it and faces it calmly.

"If Lord Wei wants to repay the favor, there is no need to force yourself."

"I'm not trying to repay you... I already had a crush on you before I knew it was you. I even suspected that I was a homosexual. Why do you always appear in my mind?"

Jing Zhuo suppressed his emotions: "Isn't Lord Wei the most polite? Why is he so..."

Before she could finish her words, she was pulled over by Wei Songhan and he sealed her mouth with his lips.

After the kiss, Jing Zhuo was already dizzy.

All I could hear was Wei Songhan's whisper: "I've heard enough preaching in the Wei Mansion. I don't want to hear any more. I like you and I love you. I want you to stay by my side and become my wife."

He said what was on his mind in one breath, "I have long lost interest in maintaining those red tapes. If I continue to be bound by the old rules, I am afraid I will lose you."

Jing Zhuo was filled with surprise. He had never expected that Wei Songhan, who was always aloof and reserved, would reveal his true feelings so frankly.

The kiss seemed to be unsatisfactory, so he pressed her lightly onto the table, and his fingertips gently brushed her delicate cheek.

"Countless times, you have wandered in my dreams, but you were always hazy and hard to discern. Now, I can finally take a closer look at you and engrave you into my heart."

His fingertips slid slowly down, finally resting on her soft lips. He whispered softly, as if afraid of disturbing this hard-earned reality: "In my dreams, I have kissed you countless times."

After he finished speaking, he slowly lowered his head and covered her soft lips.

His body was as hot as fire, and he held Jing Zhuo tightly in his arms. Although he looked a little thin, the irresistible force made her unable to move at all.

She tried to struggle, but it was in vain. Her originally tense body gradually let down all its defenses.

Since you can't escape it, you might as well accept it.

"Tell me, do you have feelings for me too?" His voice was low and magnetic.

"Yes..." She agreed softly, but it reached his ears clearly.

Wei Songhan's kiss was very gentle and immature, and Jing Zhuo sighed helplessly.

"It seems that Lord Wei still hasn't learned how to kiss. Why don't I teach you?" Jing Zhuo whispered softly in his ear.

She gradually took the initiative and Wei Songhan began to lose the upper hand.

The air in the room seemed to become sticky because of the heat, and clothes were accidentally scattered all over the floor, leaving a charming room...

Jing Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes and found that all this was not a dream, it really happened...

Last night, Wei Songhan actually did something so unethical to her. He was not drunk, nor was he drugged.

Wei Songhan was watching her every move at the moment.

"Why are you staring at me?" Jing Zhuo felt shy and uncomfortable.

"When I return to the capital, I will make this matter clear, and I will marry you legitimately."

Jing Zhuo covered himself with the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "It's up to you."

Wei Songhan went straight in and kissed her on the lips again, "Wait for me to come back, I will definitely come back."

"It's up to you, it's up to you, it's up to you."

……

Beijing, Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Yan stepped into the mansion again and couldn't help but reveal an excited expression.

"Life is like a dream. I, Jiang Yan, am fortunate enough to return to my hometown. This good fortune is enough to comfort the spirits of the Jiang family's ancestors in heaven." He murmured softly, with a hint of emotion in his voice.

Looking back on everything that had happened in the past two years, he couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

The Jiang Mansion also changed from being dilapidated to being bustling with people. The officials who had taken advantage of the situation in the past also came to curry favor and establish relationships with the emperor.

Jiang Yan refused all of them. After what he had experienced during this period of time, he had become indifferent to all of this.

The reason he set foot in the capital this time was actually in response to the earnest and sincere invitation of the new emperor. After much pleading, he was finally able to return.

Looking at his children and grandchildren, who have all made their mark and achieved extraordinary success, he lamented the fleeting past, which has finally been replaced by the sunny skies of today, and all the hard work has paid off.

Inside the Jiang Mansion, there is a warm and peaceful atmosphere as they prepare for a New Year's family dinner. The red lanterns hanging high above the gate are like festive messengers, announcing the approach of the New Year, and the whole garden is filled with laughter.

Jiang Yan slowly raised his wine cup and said, "Today, the Jiang family was able to clear their name, and Nian Wei has made an indelible contribution. Come, let me toast you with this cup!"

Nian Wei shook her head gently, her eyes full of concern: "Dad, you are old, you should only drink a little and not too much."

Jiang Yan smiled but said nothing, waving his hand to indicate that it was okay: "It's a rare happy day today, we must raise a toast to celebrate, so that we can have a good time."

A voice came from outside the door, "His Majesty has arrived!"

"Your Majesty has arrived."

"Get ready to salute."

Baili Zhao stepped into the Jiang Mansion and looked at the family who had once lived on the island. "No, you don't have to bow to me. I will always be the son-in-law of the Jiang Mansion."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel ashamed. Who could have thought that the unknown young man back then would now become the emperor of Dasheng? Things in this world are unpredictable.

"Your Majesty, this does not make sense."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. These rules were set by humans. Besides, we are a family."

Baili Zhao turned his gaze to Jiang Nianwei standing beside him.

"Dad, since Ah Zhao doesn't care, why should you care? You came at the right time. The family dinner has just started. Let's do it like before."

Baili Zhao sat down beside her without any hesitation, looked at her with his head tilted, with a smile on his face.

"Sanniang still knows my heart."

Everyone looked at each other, but couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, please take your seat!" Jiang Yan was still feeling anxious.

"Father-in-law, please take the seat of honor today!"

Jiang Nianwei also whispered: "Dad, please don't refuse anymore." "It's really embarrassing for me."

Baili Zhao saw the plum sauce spare ribs and knew that this was Jiang Nianwei's favorite dish, so he picked up a piece of ribs and gave it to her.

"Sanniang, if you like it, eat more."

He could feel a pair of passionate eyes staring at him, "Sister also likes the light fried bamboo shoots."

Jiang Nianwei felt that the tension between them was getting stronger and stronger. "I like them all. You guys eat first. Don't worry about me. I can do it myself."

Meng Huaibei was originally Jiang Yan's student, and now he recognizes Jiang Nianwei as his sister. He is no different from a member of the Jiang family, but Baili Zhao still can't stand him.

Meng Huaibei also disliked the newly enthroned emperor, and undercurrents arose between the two.

After the meal, Meng Huaibei did not hesitate too much and pulled Baili Zhao to a quiet place on the side.

Baili Zhao waved his hand, signaling the accompanying guards to withdraw, "It's okay, you can leave now."

This was the first time that the two rivals sat together and chatted calmly.

"I know you don't like me, but now, I am your brother-in-law, so why not call me brother-in-law?"

Meng Huaibei said nothing, but sighed softly: "Take care of my sister. If you treat her badly, don't blame me for taking her away!"

"Don't worry, I've been honest with you, Sanniang."

Meng Huaibei sneered: "But you are an emperor, and an emperor cannot avoid taking other concubines. Can you really do it?"

At this moment, Baili Zhao was silent. He loved Jiang Nianwei, and the position of queen must belong to her.

But before he came, a court official just expressed his intention to send his daughter to the palace. He could choose not to touch those concubines, but he still felt sorry for Jiang Nianwei.

"I will promise that in this life, I will only give my heart to Sanniang."

"Your Majesty." Meng Huaibei's tone suddenly became respectful, "You still have a country, people, and ministers, but I only have my sister in my heart, and even this life belongs to her."
