At this moment, a cold wind blew and Shangguan Que sneezed.

Seeing this, Meng Qiongyue picked up the coat he had just taken off and said, "Put this on and go back to change your clothes."

"Not wearing it."

Hey!

I gave him a way out, but he still didn't appreciate it.

Throwing the clothes at his head, she said, "You can wear them or not. If you get sick, you will be the one who suffers and takes medicine."

"Meng Qiongyue!"

Shangguan Que, who has always been invincible in confronting others, was so angry that he almost cried when he met the stubborn Meng Qiongyue this time.

"Xiao Que, go back to your room and change your clothes first, so as not to catch a cold. I will take Miss Meng to the front hall."

Once Shangguan Jing opened her mouth, Shangguan Que had nothing to say. He could only hold his clothes and turn around and leave.

"I'm sorry, Master Shangguan, I have a bad temper. If you think there's something wrong, uh... hit me a few times to vent your anger..."

"Ms. Meng, do you still remember what you said last time at Wanbao Tower?" Shangguan Jing interrupted Meng Qiongyue and looked at her with a smile.

"I seem to have said a lot of things in Wanbaolou, but I don't know which ones. I hope Patriarch Shangguan can remind me."

"You told Xiao Que in front of me that you liked him and that you two wanted to get married. Do you still remember what you said?"

"what?"

Meng Qiongyue blinked, a little confused: "Isn't this a joke?"

"I know you said that to piss me off. After I got home, I sent someone to check your background. I didn't expect you had such a hard life before being found by Marquis Yong'an." Shangguan Jing has always admired people who can live bravely in unfavorable situations, especially Meng Qiongyue, who did not choose to enjoy wealth and glory after she returned to her ancestral home, but chose to join the army to defend her country. She admires her for this kind of character.

"Yes, since you know I was mad at you, it was just a joke, so..."

"So, I think you and Xiao Que can cultivate your relationship."

Meng Qiongyue: “???”

"Excuse me, is there anything I said that was not correct or not clear?"

"No, but you know what? I just saw you and Xiao Que fighting against each other. The last time I saw him like that was when he was ten years old. But after that, he became more and more silent, and more and more distant from me and my second sister." Shangguan Jing sighed and looked up at the sky. "Until just now, I seemed to see the old Xiao Que again."

"Master Shangguan, since you have investigated me, you must know that I used to be a butcher and sell pork. When I sold pork, I must have dealt with all kinds of people. I have a weak personality and was definitely bullied. So over time, I developed an impetuous personality. It may be very different from the women you have met before. But I think someone like me is definitely not suitable for your brother." Meng Qiongyue said this sincerely. Even if the Shangguan family was powerful and the Master of the Shangguan family took the initiative to make connections, she would not even look at Shangguan Que.

"I know, I am being abrupt, but may I ask, what kind of man does Miss Meng like?"

"What kind of person do you like?" Meng Qiongyue thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a specific candidate for this. If I have to give a rough idea, then he should have the qualities of Young Marquis Lu, Deputy General Li, Military Advisor Ning, and Young Master Xie combined."

"This……"

Shangguan Jing knew four people, each of them was a dragon among phoenixes, but it took all four of them added together.

Even if you are the crown prince of the current dynasty, you cannot meet such requirements.

"I always stick to the facts. I didn't mean to make such tricky conditions on purpose."

In fact, Meng Qiongyue has never thought about her life-long affairs. She has a small brain capacity and can only focus on one thing.

"I understand. I used to think so, but after meeting all kinds of people, I realized that they were all attracted by my identity, status, and gold, silver, and jewelry."

"Then find the one you like the most. After all, everyone is together for the sake of happiness. If he wants your money, you give it to him. It seems that you have paid, but the initiative is in your hands. You can replace the other party at any time."

Shangguan Jing was stunned and looked at Meng Qiongyue who blinked. Suddenly, she felt that she was a really wonderful person.

"Your angle is quite fresh."

"It's not new. I just have a lot of experience and have seen a lot. Now, I have learned a lot from the young marquis and the young lady, so naturally I have more knowledge." Meng Qiongyue said with a smile, "Oh, I almost forgot what I came here for today."

"what's up?"

Meng Qiongyue cleared her throat and told Shangguan Jing the purpose of her visit today.

"I see. I can help you with this, but I have a request."

"Your request is that I develop a relationship with your brother?"

"Meng Qiongyue!"

As luck would have it, when Meng Qiongyue said this, Shangguan Que, who had just changed his clothes and came over, overheard it: "You are really a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"Toads are full of treasures and can eat pests. Are you a swan? I think you are more like a silly goose." Meng Qiongyue snorted coldly, "Last time we met, you were very polite and called me Miss Qiongyue. Why are you calling me by my full name today and calling me a toad? Even if I am, I don't like you, a silly goose."

"Meng Qiongyue, you...try to curse again."

"Stupid goose!"

"you……"

Shangguan Que was so angry that he almost jumped up and down: "Eldest sister, look at her, kick her out quickly."

Shangguan Jing hadn't heard her brother speak to her in such an intimate tone for a long time. Her eyes were shining as she looked at Meng Qiongyue: "Xiao Que, Miss Meng is a woman, and you are a man, you should be more generous."

"It's still Patriarch Shangguan's words, I like to listen to them."

"No, you two were competing against each other in Wanfulou last time. Why now..." Shangguan Que's worldview was a little broken.

"Don't you know? Sometimes, friendships between women are like fighting. And I can understand that as a sister, Master Shangguan wants to protect her brother. I am also a sister. If any brat dares to approach my sister Zhuxin, I might be more fierce than Master Shangguan."

"You...Meng Qiongyue, you said my elder sister is fierce!" Shangguan Que seemed to have caught Meng Qiongyue's little braid, "My elder sister hates it most when people say she is fierce."

"But I'm not someone else. Your elder sister just asked us to cultivate our relationship." Meng Qiongyue's greatest strength is her thick skin. She even took Shangguan Jing's arm affectionately. "Master Shangguan, I think your suggestion just now is very good. How about we find a place to have a good chat?"

"Uh, okay, okay."

Shangguan Jing had a hunch that with the help of Meng Qiongyue, the relationship between her and her brother might slowly improve.

"Meng Qiongyue, she is my elder sister, not your elder sister!"
