What Xie Liuzheng didn't know was that everything Pingxi Hou did was seen and remembered by Xie Xiangyu.

?

Xie Xiangyu knew about Zhou Zheng's feelings, but she still refused.

?

Seeing that Zhou Zheng had sent someone to deliver something again, Xie Xiangyu decided not to hide anymore. She opened the door directly, "Marquis Pingxi, come in and talk."

?

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised. He thought Xiangyu would hide until he left and would not want to see him. He didn't expect her to change her mind so quickly.

?

So he hurried in and was about to close the door when he was stopped by Xie Xiangyu.

?

"No need to close the door, otherwise we will be gossiped about being alone in the same room."

?

After Xie Xiangyu finished her explanation, she motioned for him to sit down. "Marquis Pingxi, I am very grateful to you for saving Liu Zheng and me. We will naturally repay you for your kindness, but nothing else is possible."

?

She expressed her thoughts very cryptically.

?

Of course Zhou Zheng could say that she was overthinking it, but Xie Xiangyu still wanted to explain it to him clearly to prevent him from having some unrealistic ideas.

?

In response, the smile on Zhou Zheng's face gradually faded.

?

He naturally understood what Xie Xiangyu meant, but this was not what he wanted.

?

If the two were forced to separate in the past, it was because their fate was too shallow, and Zhou Zheng accepted it!

?

But now that the two have met again, even if Xie Xiangyu wants to deny that this is fate, it is impossible.

?

It’s just that Liu Zheng doesn’t like him. Even if Xie Xiangyu is attracted to him, she can only suppress her love for him and treat Zhou Zheng coldly.

?

And she would only call him Marquis Pingxi.

?

Pingxi Hou felt helpless about Xie Xiangyu's resistance, but he did not give up.

?

"I know what you mean, but Xiangyu, no matter what happened in the past, I still like you now. This is an undeniable fact."

?

Pingxi Hou expressed his feelings again.

?

But Xie Xiangyu refused to listen, "Marquis Pingxi, since you insist on doing this, I will take Zheng'er off the boat at the next port and leave. From now on, we will go our separate ways."

?

Hearing this, Marquis Pingxi was very angry. He had said everything he could, but Xie Xiangyu still refused to accept him. This made Marquis Pingxi, who had always been invincible on the battlefield, feel very troubled.

?

But he didn't give up immediately. He just looked at Xie Xiangyu deeply, and left without saying anything.

?

Later, Xie Liuzheng discovered that Marquis Pingxi rarely went to see his mother.

?

She thought that Marquis Pingxi finally realized that he could not give Xie Xiangyu everything she wanted.

?

So he gave up when he saw the difficulty.

?

As a result, Xie Liuzheng accidentally discovered that her mother always shed tears silently in the dead of night.

?

Xie Liuzheng felt that he needed to talk to his mother.

?

On the night before arriving in Penglai, Xie Liuzheng deliberately acted coquettishly and asked to sleep with Xie Xiangyu. Xie Xiangyu had to agree because she couldn't persuade her daughter.

?

When the mother and daughter changed their clothes at night, Xie Liuzheng pulled her mother to lie down.

?

"Mom, I haven't slept with you for a long time." Xie Liuzheng said with a smile.

?

She felt that she was so lucky to be reborn, to get rid of the scumbag, and to live with her mother.

?

These were things that Xie Liuzheng would never have dared to dream of in her previous life, but she never expected that she would realize them one by one in this life.

?

But thinking of his mother crying every day and losing weight rapidly, Xie Liuzheng asked her directly, "Mother, I think Pingxi Hou seems to want to rekindle the relationship with you! Why don't you agree?"

?

"I think this Pingxi Hou is not only a noble person, but also considerate and caring to my mother. He is a good man."

?

Unexpectedly, her daughter would bring this up. Xie Xiangyu hurriedly denied it, "Liu Zheng, did you hear gossip from someone? Mother and the Marquis of Pingxi have always been innocent..."

?

Seeing Xie Xiangyu hurriedly explaining, Xie Liuzheng smiled and comforted her, "Mother, I haven't heard anyone gossiping, these are the conclusions I have drawn from observation. Don't rush to deny it, I just want to ask what your impression of Pingxi Hou is?"

?

Xie Xiangyu was reluctant to say it at first, but under the pressure of Xie Liuzheng's coquettish and cute behavior, she finally said it reluctantly.

?

"He is indeed a good man, with noble character, distinguished family background, and now even more distinguished military achievements."

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng could tell that her mother really admired Marquis Pingxi.

?

"Then why did mother reject him? I think he is very suitable to be my father."

?

Compared to that scum Qin Guangjin, Xie Liuzheng felt that Pingxi Hou was hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than him.

?

If she had a choice, Xie Liuzheng would choose Pingxi Hou without hesitation rather than Qin Guangjin, who had no ability, only knew how to please Xie Liuzheng, and was cheating on her behind her back.

?

Faced with her daughter's questioning, Xie Xiangyu felt a dull pain in her heart, but she still answered softly.

?

"He is of noble status and I cannot touch him."

?

But Xie Liuzheng didn't believe it. "Mother, if Pingxi Hou cared about status and position, then he would never have been on good terms with you in the past! Just tell me the truth, what are you thinking?"

?

Seeing this, Xie Xiangyu said that she no longer liked Pingxi Hou. She naturally would not tell Xie Liuzheng that she rejected Pingxi Hou because of her.

?

If Xie Liuzheng knew that she was the root cause, she would definitely blame herself.

?

Xie Xiangyu knew that her daughter was always worried, so how could she be willing to tell her the truth?

?

"Liu Zheng, stop asking questions! This is all in the past. When we reach Penglai tomorrow, we will get off the ship and part ways with Pingxi Hou."

?

Now Xie Liuzheng naturally saw Xie Xiangyu's determination, but at the same time, Xie Liuzheng noticed his mother's red eyes.

?

She did not have no feelings for Marquis Pingxi as she said.

?

"Mother, you are not telling the truth. Are you no longer close to me?"

?

Xie Liuzheng pouted deliberately, turned her back, and was angry with Xie Xiangyu.

?

"In the past, mother never hid anything from me. Now, mother must be fed up with me, so she won't tell me anything."

?

As she spoke, she pretended to shake her shoulders, making Xie Xiangyu think that she was crying out of sadness.

?

Xie Liuzheng just couldn't believe it. Even though he was in such a state, how could his mother still hide the truth from him?

?

"Liu Zheng? Liu Zheng! Please don't force me, okay? I really didn't hide anything from you."

?

But no matter how she explained, Xie Liuzheng wouldn't listen. She had to find out the truth today.

?

In order to force Xie Xiangyu to tell the truth, Xie Liuzheng twisted his thigh hard and squeezed out a few tears.

?

"Oh! Mother really doesn't love me anymore. She doesn't even tell me the truth..."

?

Xie Liuzheng cried so heartbrokenly.

?

Xie Xiangyu hurriedly tried to wipe her tears, but was dodged by Xie Liuzheng.

?

"Mother, if you don't tell me the truth, I will go on a hunger strike!"

?

Knowing that Xie Xiangyu cared about him very much, Xie Liuzheng threatened her with a hunger strike.

?

When Xie Xiangyu heard this, her face changed drastically, "You absolutely can't do that! Liu Zheng, you absolutely can't do that."
