"So, you want me...I..."

Shuitao, blushing as she spoke, began to stutter again.

"No need for you to do anything."

Shen Yuebai immediately comforted him,

"I just need an attitude from you that you are willing to marry me as your wife."

"Leave all the rest to me."

Shuitao pursed her lips and lowered her head.

Shen Yuebai reached out and wanted to touch her head gently.

But he was afraid of scaring her, so he had to retract his hand and said softly:

"If you are willing to put aside all your prejudices, marry me, and spend the rest of your life with me, I, Shen Yuebai, will be lucky for the rest of my life."

Shuitao still lowered his head and said nothing.

Shen Yuebai was extremely patient.

"I know your girl is timid and shy."

"You don't have to speak. If you don't hate me, just nod lightly."

Hearing this, Shuitao wanted to nod, but somehow she didn't make any move.

"If you don't object, then it will be agreed. How about that?"

Shen Yuebai spoke in a soft and gentle voice for fear of scaring his little peach.

After saying that, he waited quietly for a while.

Seeing Shuitao's acquiescence, he said in a somewhat joyful tone:

"In that case, when I go back and prepare the betrothal gift, I will come to propose marriage to you."

Shuitao's heartbeat accelerated and her face turned red. She covered her face and ran away quickly.

"Run slower and fall carefully."

Shen Yuebai said loudly behind her,

"Just wait for me at the Duke's Mansion. When I prepare the betrothal gift, I will come to your door."

Shuitao ran all the way back to Qinxiang Garden.

At this time, Fang Ling had already had breakfast and was lying on the rocking chair waiting for her to come back.

Chunmei and Xia Zhu stood quietly aside.

Fang Ling saw Shuitao running in with a blushing face, sat up slowly, and asked with a smile,

"Why did you come back so soon?"

When Shuitao saw her, she was so ashamed that she burst into tears.

She plopped down, knelt on the ground, and apologized:

"Miss, this slave deserves to die."

"I promised you before that I will never get married to you for the rest of my life."

"But...but...I..."

As she spoke, she began to stutter again.

Fang Ling's smile grew stronger and she added on her behalf:

"But you have fallen in love with Mr. Shen and want to marry him, right?"

Shuitao pursed her lips and acquiesced to Fang Ling's words.

Seeing her shameful look, Fang Ling stood up and stepped forward to help her up.

"Silly girl, I said before that I wanted to find a good man to marry for you."

"I'm not just trying to trick you."

"Did Shen Yuebai say something to you just now?"

Shuitao's eyes turned red and she choked with sobs:

"He said he wouldn't marry me unless I did."

"If I don't promise him, he will be alone in his next life."

Fang Ling deliberately looked angry after hearing this, frowned and said:

"What a good Shen Yuebai, you actually used such a method to force my peach."

"I thought he was a good man. Don't be afraid. If you don't want to, I will drive him out of the capital now."

Chunmei and Xia Zhu, who were standing aside, also saw their master's intention.

Chunmei quickly helped,

"Yes, Mr. Shen usually seems to be a handsome gentleman. How can he use the kindness of our girl Shuitao to force her?"

Xia Zhu also pretended to be angry.

"It seems we have to teach him a lesson, otherwise he will have to scare us Shuitao next time."

"Yes, beat him up and then drive him out of the capital."

Chunmei answered quickly.

With that said, Chunmei and Xia Zhu held swords in their hands and wanted to walk out aggressively.

Shuitao became anxious instantly.

"I didn't say he forced me."

"Master Shen...he is very good."

"He is so pitiful. You still want to beat him and drive him out of the capital. I won't comply."

"Oh...it turns out that our peach heart has already been with Mr. Shen!"

Fang Ling said loudly, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

Chunmei and Xia Zhu immediately turned around and looked at Shuitao with smiles on their faces.

Shuitao knew that they had been deceived by them, and she immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Fang Ling, on the other hand, put away her joking expression, stepped forward and took Shuitao's hand, and said softly:

"Shui Tao, you have been with me for so many years and you have taken such good care of me."

"Thank you very much."

"However, I can't keep you by my side like an old girl just because you have taken good care of me."

"Now that you can find a husband who is happy with you, I am also happy for you."

Shuitao cried and said,

"Miss, I'm sorry."

Fang Ling reached out and touched the back of her head.

"Silly girl, you are not sorry for me."

"When the time comes, I will prepare a generous dowry for you so that you can marry in style."

Shuitao cried louder,

"Miss, I'm just a slave, why are you so nice to me?"

"Master Shen is also a good person. He said he doesn't mind me being a slave. I...I always feel that this is untrue."

"Am I dreaming?"

Fang Ling continued with a smile:

"I'm good to you, you deserve it."

"You are a kind girl. It is not surprising that Mr. Shen likes you."

Having said this, Fang Ling paused for a moment before speaking again,

"I have decided that from today onwards, I will recognize you as my adopted sister."

"You and I grew up together, and we already feel like sisters."

"You have become my adopted sister, the young lady of our Duke's mansion. In this way, your worries will be gone, right?"

Shuitao didn't expect that her young lady would suddenly want to recognize her as her foster sister, and she was touched and frightened at the same time.

I didn't know what to say, so I wanted to kneel down and kowtow again.

But Fang Ling held her in his arms,

"I told you before, don't kneel down every now and then."

"But this slave is not worthy."

Shuitao said it very sincerely,

"Master Shen is a good man. He said he wanted to marry a slave and he didn't care about my status."

The young lady treats her well because she is lucky and has met a good master.

But she can't climb up the pole just because the lady treats her leniently.

Fang Ling nodded,

"Shen Yuebai is indeed a man of both ability and political integrity."

"I won't worry about marrying you to her."

As she said that, she took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears on Shuitao's face.

"Don't call yourself a slave anymore, you will be my sister from now on."

"When the time comes, just bring a generous dowry, plus your status as a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, and marry in style."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Shuitao cried so sadly that she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"My slave, I won't get married anymore. I won't get married anymore...wuwuwu..."

"Silly Shuitao, how can you not get married? Not only do you want to marry, but you also want to get married happily."

Fang Ling said softly with a smile.

Shuitao is really an honest person, simple and kind, and her emotional expression is also extremely real.

No wonder Shen Yuebai likes her.
