"Mother doesn't love me anymore."
?
"Mother, if you don't tell me the truth, you must not trust me!"
?
“I’m going on a hunger strike!”
?
In the end, Xie Xiangyu told Xie Liuzheng the truth. She was really afraid that her daughter would go on a hunger strike.
?
When Xie Liuzheng was seven or eight years old, she once made a fuss about going to the streets. Of course, this was instigated by Qin Guangjin, but Xie Xiangyu was busy dealing with business matters.
?
Thinking that the child was not very temperamental and would calm down in no time, Xie Xiangyu ignored it.
?
But Qin Guangjin didn't care about his daughter at all.
?
So Xie Liuzheng went on a hunger strike for two days and fainted from hunger. If Xie Xiangyu hadn't happened to come back, Xie Liuzheng might have been in trouble.
?
Since then, Xie Xiangyu has always responded to Xie Liuzheng's requests.
?
Now seeing her daughter mention the hunger strike again, and fearing that she would really go on a hunger strike, Xie Xiangyu did not dare to hide it and told her the real reason.
?
Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng found it incredible, "Mother, you rejected Pingxi Hou just for me? Oh my God, when did I hate him? You misunderstood. I didn't..."
?
However, halfway through the explanation, Xie Liuzheng suddenly remembered that he was stunned for a moment when he learned about the identity of Marquis Pingxi.
?
Maybe mother thought that she didn't like Marquis Pingxi because of my reaction at that moment?
?
"Mother, you really don't have to care about my opinion. You guys have your own life to live. I don't care who the other person is. As long as he treats you well and takes good care of you, I will recognize him as my father!"
?
At first, Xie Liuzheng was worried that Xie Xiangyu would no longer believe in love between men and women because of Qin Guangjin.
?
But now it seems that she was worrying too much.
?
My mother's expression clearly showed that she was in love, but the object of her affection was her childhood sweetheart, now the Marquis of Pingxi.
?
Just as Xie Liuzheng had just said, she really didn't mind the other person's status and position, she only wanted that person to be good to her mother.
?
"Mother!" Xie Liuzheng held Xie Xiangyu's hand and told her sincerely, "Mother, you really don't have to reject Pingxi Hou for me! Putting aside their identities, I have seen how carefully he has taken care of you these days."
?
"Besides, my opinion is not important! What matters is whether you are happy or not? That's what I really care about."
?
Xie Liuzheng felt that her mother had lived a very tiring life, both in her past and present lives. She always considered others but rarely considered herself.
?
Xie Liuzheng hoped that she could be a little more selfish, so that her mother could live a more relaxed and comfortable life.
?
Xie Xiangyu hugged her daughter with emotion. She felt that her daughter had changed so much.
?
This was so different from the impression she had of her daughter that Xie Xiangyu could hardly believe that she was her own daughter.
?
But when it comes to love, Xie Xiangyu doesn't want to get involved anymore.
?
"Liu Zheng, mother doesn't really want to consider the relationship. Now is the life and death moment for our Xie family, so let's deal with the business first."
?
Seeing that Xie Xiangyu was obviously avoiding the topic, Xie Liuzheng didn't force her. However, she had a plan in her mind, which she would of course not tell Xie Xiangyu.
?
That night, Pingxi Hou Zhou was sitting at the desk reading a letter when he suddenly heard footsteps.
?
"Who is it?"
?
The person outside pushed the door open without caring whether this would anger Marquis Pingxi.
?
"My Lord Pingxi, I am sorry to bother you. I have something to ask you, so I have to bother you so late at night."
?
Although he said sorry for disturbing you, there was no apology on Xie Liuzheng's face.
?
She even fiddled with the furnishings in the house in front of Marquis Pingxi, not taking the owner of the house into consideration at all, even though he was of noble status.
?
But in Xie Liuzheng's eyes, she was not afraid of angering the other party at all. On the contrary, she was deliberately angering Pingxi Hou.
?
Pingxi Hou saw all of Xie Liuzheng's tricks but did not expose them.
?
Until Xie Liuzheng raised his hand and deliberately knocked an antique vase to the ground.
?
"Bang!"
?
A crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in the middle of the night, alarmed many soldiers, including Tu Er.
?
"What happened? Did we encounter pirates? My hands are itching to fight, and I'm just getting bored. They just happened to come to my door, so I must give them a good beating."
?
But when everyone rushed over, they only saw their marquis and Xie Liuzheng with a faint smile on his face, and did not see any pirates.
?
When everyone saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Tu Er shouted, "My Lord, your favorite vase is broken? Which bastard broke it? He should be dragged out and beheaded!"
?
Xie Liuzheng was very surprised at this, as she had picked out Pingxi Hou's favorite vase at once.
?
But that was exactly her purpose.
?
Xie Liuzheng admitted generously, "I broke the vase. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish!"
?
"But Lord Pingxi, you want to kill a mere vase. Aren't you afraid of being accused of being a murderer?"
?
Xie Liuzheng was testing the bottom line of Marquis Pingxi.
?
Zhou Zheng saw through her purpose at a glance and smiled slightly.
?
"Who do you think would dare to tell me to my face that I'm a murderer?"
?
Seeing Zhou Zheng say this, Xie Liuzheng didn't show it on his face, but he agreed with it in his heart.
?
Indeed, no one dared to criticize him, not only because of his status as a marquis, but more importantly, he, the Marquis of Pingxi, guarded the border and killed countless enemies. It was because of his protection that the people could live and work in peace.
?
Not to mention that he is now just rumored to be a murderer, even if he killed someone in the street now, the people would probably think that the person being killed deserved to die.
?
However, through this test, Xie Liuzheng saw Pingxi Hou's reaction and his calm attitude, all of which made Xie Liuzheng admire him very much.
?
Of course Xie Liuzheng didn't show it.
?
However, she did not leave immediately. She waited until Pingxi Hou had sent everyone away before she slowly spoke.
?
"Marquis Pingxi, I want to know what your attitude is towards my mother. If you just want to play with my mother on a whim, I will never allow it."
?
Xie Liuzheng stopped talking after only saying half of the words.
?
Zhou Zheng was helpless when he heard her say that. "You misunderstood me. I'm not the kind of person who plays with women..."
?
"Then may I ask, Lord Marquis, do you have any beauties or concubines in your mansion? How do you think my mother, a merchant girl, can survive in the mansion?"
?
Xie Liuzheng's questions then became more and more pointed.
?
"I guess the maids in the Marquis's mansion can outdo my mother, right? After all, merchants have the lowest social status."
?
After saying that, Xie Liuzheng just stood there quietly. She said no more and waited for Pingxi Hou's reply.
?
If the other party cannot solve these problems, then Xie Liuzheng naturally would not dare to entrust her mother to him.
?
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng's expression became serious. He did not regard the person in front of him as a junior at all.
?
"The backyard of the Marquis's Mansion is very quiet."
