Chapter 1831
Zhuo Qiran stopped looking at Bei Hui and squatted down to continue removing lice from the stray dog and combing its hair.
He pushed aside the gray hair with his fingertips and suddenly whispered, "When I took over the Zhuo family at the age of fourteen, I was the youngest head of the family in the capital."
The corner of Bei Hui's skirt paused slightly on the bluestone slab.
Then I heard him say, "Later, because of raising Gu, my family business was ruined. When the elders used a ruler to beat me and asked me to return the seal, they said that I would never touch the key of the ancestral hall again in my life." He suddenly laughed softly and pinched a louse between his fingers. "But guess what? The winter solstice two years ago, the seal of the head of the family returned to my hands."
Bei Hui replied, "It shows that the Zhuo family still thinks highly of you."
Zhuo Qiran said proudly, "Of course. I am a rare genius in the Zhuo family. I was originally planning to turn over a new leaf and rebuild the family business. Unfortunately... I am powerless now."
Bei Hui still comforted him calmly, "It will be fine."
Zhuo Qiran raised his head and looked at Bei Hui, his eyes reflecting the sunlight like broken gold, "As for me, I am now inexplicably tied to your master. Wherever they go, I have to go. You can see that I am like this now, neither alive nor dead."
He paused, then stood up, his silver hair flying in the wind, exuding a natural and unrestrained demeanor. "Miss Bei Hui, go back and think carefully about whether you are willing to marry me. If you marry me, I will not treat you unfairly. I will give you all the money I have saved, but you must be prepared to lose your husband. If you can leave me with a child, that would be great. If not... that is fate."
When Bei Hui returned to the cabin, the man's words were still ringing in her ears. She twisted her handkerchief in despair, and the ripples in the copper basin spread out in circles, vaguely reflecting the gray hair.
"Bei Hui?" Shi Anxia put down her brush, her handwriting glistening in the twilight, "But are you seasick?"
"Madam!" Bei Hui wiped the hand stains off her hands and knelt down on the gilded carpet, stirring up a few wisps of dust. "Madam... I want to get married."
Shi Anxia looked at the silver hairpin dangling in her hair and asked calmly, "Zhuo Qiran?"
Bei Hui's earrings suddenly hit the side of her neck. She was very surprised and asked, "How did Madam know?"
Amid the dripping sound of the copper clock, Shi Anxia's eyes passed by the dead trees moving on the shore outside the boat window, "He is the only strange man on this boat who can talk nonsense to you."
"I saw that he looked very serious."
"So do you like him?" Shi Anxia asked.
Bei Hui was bewildered. "Ma'am, I don't know. My mind is in a mess. He suddenly asked me to marry him..." She pressed her chest, as if pressing down a wound about to bloom. "Just looking at him and listening to him say those things, my heart aches."
"You're just sympathizing." Shi Anxia hit the nail on the head.
"But if he hadn't become like this, how could he look down on me?" Bei Hui murmured.
She became the head of the Zhuo family at the age of fourteen, and now she has entered the Imperial Hospital and become the confidant of the lady and the young master... Normally, Lord Zhuo would not be able to see her.
Shi Anxia pulled her up and said, "Sit down."
Bei Hui followed her instructions and sat half-way opposite the lady, with her head lowered.
Shi Anxia said, "You sympathize with him, but you also want to tie him up for me."
Bei Hui suddenly looked up and opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.
In fact, she didn't quite understand what the relationship was between Zhuo Qiran's hair turning white overnight and Madam. She also didn't know why this man was inexplicably tied to Madam and Young Master.
Moreover, Lord Zhuo suddenly became the person closest to the Madam and the Young Master, and there was no sign of this before.
But if she could use her body to bind him to loyalty, it would be a good idea.
Shi Anxia thought about it and stopped hiding it from her. "It's a Gu. The Young Master and I have a Gu planted by Zhuo Qiran..."
