As expected of someone who can stay by Jin Xuerong's side, Huaizhi can cook delicious meals even in this wilderness.

There were edible wild vegetables and mushrooms in the forest. I don’t know what was in the carriage behind Jin Xuerong, but it allowed Huaizhi to make such a thick soup, which was very filling.

The Qiao sisters ate with relish, and Su Yu also thought it tasted pretty good. Only Jin Xuerong disliked the food because it looked ugly and refused to eat it.

Huaizhi also heated up some delicious food for his master.

After dinner, no one was in the mood to have fun in the wilderness, so after some hasty arrangements, everyone prepared to go to bed.

Qiao San and Qiao Si were responsible for keeping watch, one for the first half and the other for the second half.

Qingliu and Huaizhi slept in the carriage at the back. Qiao Da and Qiao Er also rested at night because they had to drive the carriage during the day.

The two men were guarding a carriage each, sleeping in front of it feeling aggrieved.

Jin Xuerong naturally slept in his carriage.

Su Yu looked at the Qiao sisters' clear arrangements and suddenly recalled the night she first arrived. She had stayed up all night alone! How miserable!

Thinking back on the few days she had been in this world, it was already the fourth night, and she hadn't had a good night's sleep!

It was another night spent in the woods. She now wanted to get to Cangzhou as soon as possible, find a pawnshop, pawn all her silver jewelry, buy or rent a yard, lock the doors and windows, and sleep there for three days and three nights!

Huaizhi helped Jin Xuerong get on the carriage. After Jin Xuerong got on the carriage, she turned to Su Yu and said,

"Su Yu, sleep in the carriage with me."

When Huaizhi heard this, he was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell.

Huaizhi quickly stepped onto the horse stool and got on the carriage, and helped Jin Xuerong into the carriage.

Jin Xuerong was inexplicably helped to the seat by Huaizhi. As soon as Huaizhi entered the carriage, he whispered to her,

"My Lord! How could you let Noble Lady Su share a carriage with you? I know you feel bad for her not having a good place to sleep, but you are not doing a good job of presenting yourself in front of her!"

Jin Xuerong felt that Huaizhi was exaggerating a bit.

"Su Yu is not that kind of person. She won't deliberately think the worst of others!"

Huaizhi looked at Jin Xuerong's nonchalant expression and said anxiously, "The Emperor is not in a hurry,

"Even if Noble Lady Su isn't that kind of person, Master can't be so careless about his image in front of Noble Lady Su! What if he scares her away?"

When Jin Xuerong heard this, her delicate eyebrows raised.

"She dares! Huaizhi, I tell you the truth, your master has chosen her! I told you in Wangjia Village that he is her legal husband, so I have to confirm this identity! I think Su Yu likes me very much too." Jin Xuerong confidently lifted the hair beside her ear and hung it over her ear.

Huaizhi naturally believed in his master's feelings.

"The master hasn't married Miss Su yet! It's not appropriate for a single man and a woman to sleep in the same carriage together!"

Huaizhi used his little brain and came up with an idea that he thought was good.

"How about this, Qingliu and I will squeeze in here with the master, and let Miss Su take the carriage at the back."

Jin Xuerong said willfully,

"No! There's so much stuff in the carriage at the back! I don't even need to look to see how squeezed you and Qing Liu are, two little men, not to mention Su Yu, a grown woman!"

Jin Xuerong pointed to the area between the carriage door and the low table and instructed Huaizhi,

"Go get a blanket from the box and spread it over her. Let Su Yu sleep there in a while."

Seeing his master's firm attitude, Huaizhi had no choice but to do as he was told.

Huaizhi came out and called Su Yu in. Before leaving, he also reminded his elder sister to be careful when sleeping at night and not let the master be bullied.

As soon as Su Yu entered the carriage, she saw the bedding laid out at the door. As expected, Jin Xuerong did whatever she wanted and didn't care about her image at all when treating her well.

Su Yu silently accelerated the idea of ​​marrying Jin Xuerong in his heart.

Jin Xuerong pointed at the bedding and said proudly,

"Su Yu, you can sleep here tonight!"

There was an oil lamp burning on the low table, and the two people looked at each other across the light, one standing and the other sitting.

From the angle Su Yu was standing at, Jin Xuerong had to look up at her.

Su Yu looked at Jin Xuerong's delicate face in full view. Jin Xuerong, who was so fierce in the daytime, looked gentler under the dim light.

Jin Xuerong looked at Su Yu staring at him and couldn't help laughing.

"Why? Are you stunned by my beauty?"

Su Yu smiled and said,

"Yeah! Xuerong is really beautiful! Very beautiful!"

Jin Xuerong could tell that Su Yu was sincerely praising him and was not just being perfunctory.

Su Yu lifted the quilt and sat down. Now she had to look up at Jin Xuerong.

Jin Xuerong sat on the carriage couch, watching Su Yu slowly sit down, looking up at him, as if she had a feeling that she could control Su Yu.

Suddenly he couldn't sit still anymore, took two steps forward and knelt in front of Su Yu.

Su Yu was shocked by Jin Xuerong's sudden behavior. She quickly spread her legs away from the kneeling Jin Xuerong and almost had Jin Xuerong kneel on her legs.

Jin Xuerong knelt in front of Su Yu, holding her shoulders with both hands, lowered his head to look at Su Yu who was shorter than him, and spoke slowly, his breath as sweet as orchid.

"Su Yu..."

Su Yu looked up at Jin Xuerong at a loss, with his hands protecting his sides, afraid that he would fall.

"Jin Xuerong, what are you doing?"

"You like me, right?" Jin Xuerong said proudly.

Looking at the beautiful Jin Xuerong, Su Yu couldn't say anything against his will. His throat moved.

"Yeah, I like it."

Hearing Su Yu's affirmative answer, Jin Xuerong smiled brightly.

Su Yu was almost dazzled by his smile, Jin Xuerong said with bared teeth,

"Then when do you plan to marry me?"

After hearing Jin Xuerong's words, Su Yu pursed his lips in embarrassment.

Jin Xuerong looked at Su Yu, who was embarrassed and silent, pouted her lips, and shook her arm that was on Su Yu.

"What? Even after all this, you still don't want to marry me?!"

Su Yu looked at Jin Xuerong who was acting like a spoiled child and said with difficulty,

"I haven't saved enough for the betrothal gift yet,"

Su Yu smiled bitterly.

"To be precise, I'm almost penniless now."

Jin Xuerong said indifferently,

"Then don't give me a betrothal gift! When we return to Cangzhou, you can marry me, okay?"

Jin Xuerong shook Su Yu coquettishly.

Su Yu felt a little uncomfortable watching the handsome man getting close to her face and acting like a spoiled child, but she felt that it was not good to have no betrothal gifts, so she wanted to persuade Jin Xuerong to wait for him.

"Xuerong, if you don't wait for me, I..."

Before Su Yu could even ask about saving up more for the betrothal gift, Jin Xuerong kissed Su Yu on the face with a "mua".

Su Yu's face turned red instantly, and he looked at Jin Xuerong in shock.

Jin Xuerong looked at the stunned Su Yu and said with a wicked smile,

"It's a deal! Marry me when you get back!"

Jin Xuerong pointed at the spot where he kissed Su Yu on the face and said,

"This is the stamp! It's a deal!"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Yu's response, he stood up with a smile and returned to his couch.

Jin Xuerong lay on the couch on her side, supporting her head with her hands, looking at Su Yu with a smile.

Su Yu coughed twice. She felt embarrassed by Jin Xuerong's trick.

Jin Xuerong looked at the embarrassed Su Yu and said with a smile,

"After returning to Cangzhou, you don't have to worry about the wedding. Someone will take care of it for us."

Su Yu looked at Jin Xuerong's yearning expression, and his mind was confused when he thought about what happened just now. He couldn't bear to refuse his kindness.

"Okay! I promise you!"

He secretly decided in his heart that he would be better to Jin Xuerong in the future, work hard to make money, and not let him be laughed at for being so devoted to her.

When Jin Xuerong heard Su Yu really agreed, she happily pulled the quilt over her head to prevent Su Yu from seeing her uncontrollable smile.

Su Yu looked at Jin Xuerong happily burying her head in the quilt and reminded her with a smile,

"Don't hold it in."

Jin Xuerong's muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Blow out the lights and go to sleep!"

Su Yu now felt that maybe Jin Xuerong was just shy because she realized it belatedly?

But she was also very happy. At least she had a place to stay by going to Jin Xuerong's territory in Cangzhou.

Su Yu blew out the oil lamp and said jokingly,

"The lights are out. Don't cover yourself. You can't see."

Only then did Jin Xuerong free her head from the quilt.
