The carriage was moving on the official road towards Xiangguo Temple.

In the carriage, there were only Yuan Qingling and the injured Yun Ziheng.

The effect of the pills that Yun Ziheng took gradually took effect.

The pill had a pain-relieving effect, the pain gradually subsided, and Yun Ziheng's complexion also looked much better.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Yuan Qingling rubbing the handkerchief in her hand with a look of self-blame on her face.

Yun Ziheng coughed softly and wanted to say something.

But the sudden sound scared Yuan Qingling so much that she shuddered.

"Sorry, I scared you." Yun Ziheng said apologetically and a little embarrassedly.

Yuan Qingling shook her head obediently, indicating that it didn't matter.

She said with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm fine. The main thing is, Lord Yun, how do you feel about your wound? In fact, I should be the one to apologize. It's all my fault that I got you into trouble."

Yun Ziheng heard the politeness and self-blame in Yuan Qingling's words, and his expression darkened slightly.

"I took the initiative to escort you to Xiangguo Temple. The injury was my fault and has nothing to do with you." Yun Ziheng explained.

Yuan Qingling was very persistent and insisted, "If Lord Yun hadn't sent me off, I wouldn't have been injured today."

Yun Ziheng frowned, his tone was a little chilly, "If I didn't arrive in time, do you know what the consequences would be?"

Yuan Qingling suddenly raised her head and glanced at Yun Ziheng. Seeing that he was looking at her seriously, she hurriedly looked away.

Strange, why did she feel guilty? Yuan Qingling clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Yun Ziheng said coldly, "You know that, don't you?"

Yuan Qingling said puzzledly, "I don't understand what Lord Yun is talking about."

Yun Ziheng was speechless and rubbed his chest angrily.

"Yuan Qingling, you used to be a self-pitying and self-destructive person. Well, I do have something to discuss with you." Yun Ziheng glanced at his injured arm and frowned slightly.

He tried to move his body and adjusted himself to a more comfortable position leaning against the cushion in the car.

Yuan Qingling shifted her attention to the second half of the sentence and automatically ignored the first half about Yun Ziheng's evaluation of her.

Naturally, she also ignored the question of why Yun Ziheng knew what kind of person she was before.

She thought about it in her mind, but still couldn't guess what Yun Ziheng wanted to say to her, so she could only say, "Master Yun, please speak."

Yun Ziheng looked serious, "I want to ask Miss Yuan, will you marry me?"

The last four words exploded in Yuan Qingling's ears, causing her to have a brief tinnitus.

What did he just say?

Yuan Qingling thought she was hallucinating and had heard it wrong, so she tilted her head and looked at Yun Ziheng with a confused look.

Yun Ziheng emphasized it again.

Yuan Qingling heard it clearly this time, but felt it was too sudden.

She really couldn't understand why Yun Ziheng suddenly had such an idea. They seemed to have only met a few times.

Even in the few times they met, his eyes had never been on me, so what did he mean by this?

Could it be that the General's Mansion is urging him to get married, so he wants to find someone to deal with it?

This shouldn't be the case either.

There are so many noble ladies in the capital who want to marry into the general's mansion. He has so many choices, so why would he choose her?

Why is it?

Yuan Qingling lowered her head and thought carefully, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

Could this person be injured or have some problem?

Yuan Qingling glanced at Yun Ziheng with suspicion, and when she saw Yun Ziheng staring at her seriously, she quickly lowered her head.

"Lord Yun, did you say something wrong?" Yuan Qingling couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it. She didn't want to waste time on internal affairs, so she asked directly.

Yun Ziheng shook his head quickly. "I know it's abrupt for me to bring this up all of a sudden, but I have indeed thought about it carefully. It's just that I happened to run into Miss Yuan today, so I said it in advance. I wanted to hear what Miss Yuan had to say."

Yun Ziheng further explained that he had originally planned to ask his mother to invite a matchmaker and go to Yuan Mansion in person to discuss the matter in two days.

Yuan Qingling still couldn't quite believe it. This was true.

"Master Yun, can you tell me why it was me?"

Yun Ziheng sighed, "To be honest, ever since Luoluo and the emperor went to Xuancang Continent, my mother's health has been getting worse. Although she doesn't show it on her face, every time I go to check her pulse, the imperial physician secretly tells me that this is a disease caused by worry and depression. My mother and father are looking forward to my marriage, and I think..."

Yuan Qingling's calm voice sounded, "Lord Yun wants to get married, and using this happy event to comfort Madam Yun is indeed very filial, but there are many ladies from wealthy families in the capital, why me?"

Yuan Qingling asked why for the second time.

Yun Ziheng chuckled, "In some ways, you are very similar to Luoluo. For example, in the matter just now, although you lowered your head to think, when you couldn't figure it out, you just asked directly without wasting time. This is very similar to Luoluo. Maybe my analogy is not appropriate, but I really hope that my beloved can have her own ideas and opinions."

Yun Ziheng paused for a moment, as if thinking, and then said, "I hope my future wife can think independently and have her own set of rules for judging, rather than just following what others say. Miss Qianjin, royal relatives and nobles are indeed numerous in the capital, but there are very few people like me. It just so happens that Miss Yuan is the person I hope for, and I don't want to miss her."

"Besides, since I was young, I have only been devoted to reading books of sages, thinking only of passing the imperial examinations and working for the world. I have not known many girls. I have heard Luo Luo mention you. She said you are very good, so you must be very good. It is rare to hear a compliment from her."

"Besides, I have met Miss Yuan several times. She has performed her talent at the palace banquet. She is really good. The sound of the piano is like the human heart. As the ancients said, a hero does not ask where he came from. I believe Miss Yuan can be a good Madam Yun of the General's Mansion."

"Oh, by the way, please rest assured, Miss Yuan, in my general's mansion, you can only marry one wife in your lifetime. This is the ancestral precept."

Yun Ziheng spoke sincerely, one sentence after another, which shocked Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling had just digested what Yun Ziheng said and opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yun Ziheng changed the subject and continued, "I have also considered Miss Yuan's family. What I am going to say next may be unpleasant to hear. If Miss Yuan is not happy after hearing it, just pretend that I never said it."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingling clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and said nothing.
