Xie Qingyu ultimately did not get to witness the beheading.

In that instant, Qin Shenzhi's hand blocked her path, saying, "If you watch this, you'll have nightmares tonight."

Xie Qingyu only heard a chorus of exclamations from the side, as well as the sound of the child brought by the carefree couple crying in fright.

Qin Shenzhi tightened his grip on Xie Qingyu's hand, making Xie Qingyu feel pain.

Fortunately, he quickly relaxed his grip. "It's over. Let's go."

Besides him, the Marquis's lineage only had a few illegitimate sons. With such a thing happening, he was afraid that he would be implicated, and no one wanted to get involved.

Therefore, no one dared to speak ill of Qin Shenzhi, and no one came to collect the bodies of that family of three.

In the end, it was the government that arranged for people to execute nine generations of their family, and since no one claimed the body, they threw it into a mass grave.

Whether anyone secretly went to collect their bodies during that time was not something Qin Shenzhi cared about.

They left after watching the beheading.

Since Xie Qingyu had finally managed to get out of the house, Qin Shenzhi naturally wouldn't let her go back now.

Qin Shenzhi led Xie Qingyu into a restaurant and ordered some dishes with practiced ease.

Most of them are things Xie Qingyu likes.

He didn't say anything, making it unclear whether it was a coincidence or he knew Xie Qingyu's tastes and preferences.

But that's not important right now.

"His Majesty's intention is for us to get married as soon as possible. Some things are not easy to prepare, so you may have to make do," Qin Shenzhi said, looking at Xie Qingyu after she removed her veil.

"Since it is His Majesty's will, then let's do it as soon as possible." Xie Qingyu lowered her head, showing no objection.

"Do you have any ideas?" Qin Shenzhi asked.

Although there wasn't enough time, he made sure to prepare everything he needed to, since he had no experience in this area and had never gone through it before. He even sent someone to Aunt Zhao's place to ask about the specific procedures.

Xie Qingyu rested her arm on the table, her expression conveying an indescribable feeling.

"No, you can do whatever you want. I... I don't think I have any dowry, so I'll keep everything simple," Xie Qingyu said, bowing her head.

After the initial joy faded, Qin Shenzhi stared intently at Xie Qingyu for a long time before getting up, walking around the table, pulling up a chair, and sitting down next to her.

Qin Shenzhi reached out and took Xie Qingyu's hand in his, while using his other hand to touch Xie Qingyu's face, making her look at him.

"I know it's unfair to you to marry me in this capacity, but I will never wrong you." Qin Shenzhi spoke slowly and deeply, trying his best to make sure Xie Qingyu could hear every word he said.

"The dowry you brought from the Minister's residence may have changed due to your status, but all the shops and money under my name will be given to the General's wife so that she can write them down as part of your dowry."

At this point, the dowry can be taken with you if you divorce.

This is equivalent to Qin Shenzhi giving all his property to Xie Qingyu.

"I will also sell those things under your name and put the money into them." Qin Shenzhi's hand slowly squeezed into Xie Qingyu's hand, just as he wanted to squeeze into Xie Qingyu's world.

"Now you can rest assured. I hope you are looking forward to our wedding, not just doing whatever you feel like," Qin Shenzhi said, expressing his true feelings.

"I just don't know if getting married and doing things this way is the right thing to do..."

"What's wrong with that?" Qin Shenzhi retorted quickly.

"This marriage wasn't arranged by Minister Xie, but rather it was your own decision, so you might be a little confused." Qin Shenzhi quickly understood Xie Qingyu's meaning and comforted her, "If you're sure it's the right thing to do, just go and verify it. And just trust me. When have I ever let you down? Marrying me is the most suitable option right now."

There was one more thing Qin Shenzhi didn't say.

The news of Xie Qingyu's death has already been released; she has no chance to regret it.

He wouldn't give Xie Qingyu a chance to regret it.

However, he refused to say a word, which only increased Xie Qingyu's anxiety.

"The wedding dress was hastily made by the embroiderers in the palace and will be delivered to the General's Mansion soon. You can try it on and see if it fits." Qin Shenzhi didn't say anything more, but instead relayed other things to divert Xie Qingyu's attention, making her think that she should focus on the wedding arrangements now.

"Then let me see it when it arrives," Xie Qingyu suddenly said. "Could we prepare some food in the bridal chamber beforehand?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shenzhi's face lit up with a smile. "Okay."

"The wedding shouldn't be too lively. After all, four people have died within a month. Even if you don't care, you can't be too ostentatious, or you'll easily attract gossip in the court."

"it is good."

"On your wedding day, you need to find someone to prepare water to mix with your wine, so you don't get so drunk that you pass out."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

"Also, all the servants in the Marquis's mansion have been sold off. You should buy enough servants for the mansion now, so that there won't be any shortage and things won't get out of control."

"Okay, the purchase has been made."

“If the courtyard is renovated, it can be moved forward a bit. The Marquis’s mansion is too big and there aren’t that many people living there. If the courtyard is too far back, it will be a bit deserted.”

"I've already made arrangements for our courtyard."

"besides......."

Xie Qingyu was engrossed in thinking about what else needed attention, completely unaware that with each word she spoke, Qin Shenzhi's smile widened.

By the time Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she saw Qin Shenzhi smiling at her.

"Why are you so happy?" Xie Qingyu was a little stunned. She had made so many requests, and he was still happy.

"It's alright, do you have any other thoughts?" Qin Shenzhi asked.

Xie Qingyu thought for a moment and then shook her head.

"We'll do it your way," Qin Shenzhi said.

After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, she realized how ambiguous their current posture was. Although they were in a private room, they would be having sex again later.

Qin Shenzhi sat down next to her, one hand touching her face.

Xie Qingyu stepped back slightly. "You should sit back down quickly."

Qin Shenzhi's hands missed both times, but he wasn't unhappy.

He sat down again opposite Xie Qingyu, and the waiter knocked on the door to serve the dishes.

Xie Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief as the waiter arrived just in time, her face slightly flushed.

Qin Shenzhi noticed all her little actions and liked her more and more the more he looked at her.

If he had known Xie Qingyu was like this, he would have snatched her away much earlier and would never have let her marry that guy Qin Lingrong first.

Qin Shenzhi thought about what Xie Qingyu had almost gone through. If he hadn't intervened, what would have become of Xie Qingyu? He couldn't even bear to think about it.

If it's as Gu Qinglian said...
