First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

However, Qu Wanning was still worried about the fact that he was a guest in someone else's home, and looked at Su Jixiang embarrassedly.

"Hey, don't look at her. Just eat your food." Xie Yingfeng nudged Qu Wanning with his elbow, "Why are you looking at her? Let's finish eating and go home early. I'm exhausted today."

Qu Wanning then quickly lowered his head to eat.

Why did she feel that Su Jixiang seemed a little awkward when she looked at him just now?

Wei Ling completely ignored Xie Yingfeng and the others. He slowly put the dumpling into his mouth, and after just one bite, he sighed slightly in his heart.

These dumplings are something we eat every day except for those few years in the mine. They can be said to be extremely common, but this is the first time I have eaten dumplings with fillings as good as Su Jixiang's.

It is really not an exaggeration. Even the chefs hired from outside during the heyday of the Zhenguo Mansion could not cook such delicious stuffing. The stuffing is already very delicious when you take a bite. The best thing is that the stuffing in the dumplings is accompanied by a little soup. The soup and the stuffing complement each other, forming a whole yet separate. Every bite makes you feel fresh and delicious... you can't stop eating!

After Wei Ling finished eating the first dumpling, he consciously extended his bowl towards Su Jixiang.

Su Jixiang stared at him with eyes wide open.

Wei Lingqing said, "I'm injured."

Su Jixiang!!

"Then I'll go get another pair of chopsticks." She whispered back. These chopsticks had already been used by her.

"It's too troublesome." Wei Ling said, then looked up at Su Jixiang.

Su Jixiang...

Well... he doesn't mind, so why should I be embarrassed here?

What Qu Wanning saw happened to be the present Su Jixiang.

She added eight dumplings to Wei Ling's plate. Wei Ling looked at her and saw that his small bowl was no longer full. He then asked slowly, "Do you also think I'm too thin?"

what?

Su Jixiang looked a little disheveled!

What the hell does this mean?

What does his being thin or not have to do with me!

"No!" Su Jixiang lowered his head quickly, "I think you should eat more since you are in the recovery period!"

"Oh." Wei Ling responded and continued eating his dumplings.

Su Jixiang glanced at him.

It has to be said that Wei Ling was born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and he has the bearing and elegance that only a nobleman can have. Even when he is dining, he looks more noble than others.

The two of them enjoyed the meal very much. One of them ate very cleanly, but Su Jixiang felt a little uneasy while eating.

After Xie Yingfeng and Qu Wanning had eaten their fill, Su Jixiang sent them out. Then he called Guihua and Lushui in to remove the food from the table and clean the house.

Su Jixiang called Wei Zhong in to help Wei Ling wash and comb his hair, while he went to the bathroom nearby to wash up.

Ever since Wei Ling woke up, she slept in the study next door at night.

If Wei Ling had something to do at night, he would call Wei Zhong in himself and would basically not bother Su Jixiang.

So after Su Jixiang finished washing up, he returned to the study.

There was really nothing to do at night in ancient times. Su Jixiang found two travel notes in the study. Although the text was in obscure classical Chinese, he could guess what was written in the book. However, many things were described too simply, so Su Jixiang could only guess based on his own ability!

After guessing for a while, Su Jixiang actually found some fun in reading it.

She had just taken the travel notes and lay down on the couch when she heard Wei Zhong say outside, "Madam, the general invites you to come over."

"Oh. Here I come." Su Jixiang quickly got up, put on his coat again, and came to Wei Ling's room.

Wei Ling was also holding a book in his hand, his long hair draped softly on his shoulders. Because his hair was not tied up and the light was dim, his brows were much softer than usual.

He was born in a very good condition. Sitting quietly on the bed, leaning back, he gave people a feeling of a peaceful life.

It seemed as if the gentle and beautiful young man from Dongdu had returned again.

Hearing the noise, Wei Ling raised his eyes.

It was just the moment he raised his eyes that the deterrent force that naturally formed in his eyes made people suddenly realize that this was completely different from the young man from Dongdu back then.

"I have something to tell you." Wei Ling said slowly, "Sit down."

Su Jixiang sat down beside the bed as he was told.

"I can't hide the fact that I assassinated the deposed emperor from you." Wei Ling said, "And I think Emperor Longchang will not let me go, so we may be in danger next."

Su Jixiang was a little surprised that he used the word "we".

"I thought about giving you a divorce letter." Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang and said seriously, "But I think even if I gave you a divorce letter, Emperor Longchang would not believe it. Because the deposed emperor told a secret before he died, and this secret made Emperor Longchang very yearning and fearful. So I think it might be safer if you follow me."

He paused here.

"Today you said you wanted to ask the shopkeeper's daughter if she was willing to marry into the Mo family." Wei Ling said, "I have also considered it carefully, so now I ask you, do you want to get a divorce and live in hiding, or continue to stay by my side and I will protect you."

Su Jixiang...

What a problem of the century!

"Is that secret big?" Su Jixiang asked cautiously.

"It's a bit big..." Wei Ling considered it carefully, then nodded.

The matter of the treasure may really change the current three-way situation.

After all, the power is balanced now, but once the scale tilts to one side, the balance will be broken.

In order to help Su Jixiang make a better choice, Wei Ling explained the current situation to Su Jixiang.

"I know you're a smart girl." Wei Ling looked into Su Jixiang's eyes. Under the light, she was naturally beautiful and stunning. "So I let you choose. If you want to leave, I'll send someone to take you there, but I can't protect you much longer. But if you don't leave, I can swear to my dead people that I will do everything I can to protect you and make sure you live a worry-free life."

Su Jixiang!!!

so serious!

She stared at Wei Ling with her big eyes, unblinking...

The room was eerily quiet.

Wei Ling had always been calm, and at this moment he pinched the corner of his quilt unconsciously in silence.

He didn't know where the panic in his heart came from.

But he knew very clearly that he could hear his own heartbeat now.

Boom, boom, boom... As time goes by, the heartbeat becomes faster and faster...

The accelerated heartbeat even made him a little breathless.

He hasn't felt this way in a long time!
