The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

After Qin Shou heard what Zhou Paner said, he couldn't help but freeze in place.

?

If people knew about this, both he and Zhou Paner's reputation would be ruined.

?

But Qin Shou was naturally reluctant to let Zhou Paner go. Although he had now passed the exam and ranked second, this title alone was not enough to help him gain a foothold in the capital.

?

The support of Pingxi Hou will allow him to go higher and further.

?

So Qin Shou had no other choice, he had to marry Zhou Paner as soon as possible.

?

Otherwise, when her belly gets bigger, Zhou Pan'er will be criticized by others, and he, the person who made her pregnant, will definitely not have a good ending.

?

"Pan'er, I will ask your father for marriage tomorrow."

?

Qin Shou felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer. He would marry Zhou Pan'er sooner or later anyway. If he could make Pingxi Hou take a fancy to him through this opportunity, it would not be a loss for him.

?

"Pan'er, don't worry, leave everything to me. I won't let you suffer any grievances."

?

"It's just that my ability is limited now, and I can't give you a very good life."

?

Hearing this, Zhou Pan'er hugged her arm and said, "Don't worry, I have money and a lot of dowry shops. Besides, my father will also give me a lot of dowry!"

?

"This is enough for us to live well."

?

After hearing what Zhou Paner said, Qin Shou no longer had any worries. He went back and took out the silver note that Zhou Paner had given him before and handed it to the guard.

?

"Go buy me some gifts. I'm going to the Pingxi Marquis's mansion to propose marriage tomorrow."

?

The guard felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

?

"I don't know how to buy gifts!"

?

But Qin Shou didn't care about him. "If you don't help me prepare, I will tell Pan'er that you, the guard, don't obey orders..."

?

When Zhang Yong heard this, he couldn't refuse.

?

The next day, Qin Shou went to the Marquis of Pingxi's Mansion with gifts. It happened that Zhou Zheng did not go to the parade ground that day, and he was having dinner with Xie Xiangyu.

?

"My Lord, there is a man at the door, claiming to be the second place in this year's exam and wants to see you, my Lord."

?

When Zhou Zheng heard this, he refused without thinking, "No!"

?

He had no interest in the court and only wanted to protect the country from invasion. As for the factions in the court, Zhou Zheng was not interested at all, even if the other party was the second on the list this time.

?

But when Zhou Paner heard the news, she came in a hurry and said, "Father, why don't you meet Master Qin? I heard that Master Qin is very outstanding. Although he is only the runner-up, there is no guarantee that he will not be a high-ranking official in the future."

?

"Since Master Qin has come to visit, I think it's unreasonable for you not to see him. Although I know that you have always disdained court battles, as the saying goes, more friends mean more paths."

?

After hearing this, Zhou Zheng still didn't want to see Qin Shou.

?

But Zhou Pan'er was very anxious. She hurriedly grabbed her father and walked out, "Father, just go and meet him. Maybe Young Master Qin has something important to tell you."

?

Xie Xiangyu did not interfere in her stepdaughter's affairs, but Xie Liuzheng could guess why Zhou Paner was so excited, so she went along with it.

?

"Marquis Pingxi, a visitor is a guest. Since the other party has come to your house, why don't you go and meet him?"

?

Marquis Pingxi admired his stepdaughter very much. After hearing what Xie Liuzheng said, he stood up and walked out.

?

Zhou Paner felt very upset when she saw that her father changed his mind because of Xie Liuzheng's words!

?

But since it concerns her happiness, Zhou Pan'er naturally would not give up Qin Shou just to be angry with Xie Liuzheng.

?

So Zhou Paner glared at Xie Liuzheng fiercely and hurriedly chased after him, "Father, wait for me!"

?

When he arrived at the front hall, Marquis Pingxi saw a young man standing there pacing back and forth.

?

"I have met the Marquis of Pingxi!"

?

It was the first time that Qin Shou faced Marquis Pingxi at such a close distance. He felt a little scared, but he thought that if he could get the support of Marquis Pingxi, he would be able to rise rapidly in the court in the future, and it would not be impossible for him to reach the top overnight.

?

So Qin Shou directly explained his purpose, "Lord Pingxi, I came here today specifically to ask for the eldest lady's hand in marriage!"

?

Pingxi Hou Zhou Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this, "Do you know each other? Or did you teach each other privately?"

?

Qin Shou denied it hastily upon seeing this, "No, I just heard of the eldest lady's reputation and admired her. Originally I was just a poor scholar, but now I have passed the imperial examination and have a certain status. Although I cannot compare to your glory, Lord Marquis, I will not stop here. I will definitely give the young lady a comfortable life."

?

Just as Pingxi Hou was about to speak, Zhou Paner couldn't help but rush in, "Father, please promise to marry me to Master Qin. Master Qin and I have a deep connection. I beg you to grant my wish!"

?

"What? You two are in love? You are having an affair without a matchmaker!" Pingxi Hou never dreamed that his daughter would be so shameless as to marry Qin Shou.

?

Thinking of Zhou Paner's intense reaction just now, Pingxi Hou became even more certain that Zhou Paner and Qin Shou had known each other for a long time.

?

Before, he always thought that Zhou Pan'er was just a little willful, but now Pingxi Hou even felt like he didn't know her.

?

"Zhou Pan'er, go back immediately! From today on, you are not allowed to leave the room without my permission!"

?

Zhou Zheng didn't want to listen to Zhou Paner's nonsense anymore, so he asked someone to take Zhou Paner back.

?

Qin Shou, however, stood in front of Zhou Pan'er and said, "My Lord, we are truly in love. Please help us! And, and..."

?

Zhou Zheng was very annoyed to see that Qin Shou dared to flirt with his daughter in front of him.

?

"Qin Shou, get out of my way!"

?

Seeing that Zhou Zheng did not agree with her marriage with Qin Shou, Zhou Pan'er could no longer bear it and she shouted loudly.

?

"Father, I already have Master Qin's child! Please help us!"

?

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng felt like he was struck by lightning. He looked at his daughter in disbelief. He didn't understand how this child could become like this?

?

Not only did they have an affair without a matchmaker, they even got pregnant.

?

Zhou Zheng was very annoyed. "Come here, take the young lady back to me. No one is allowed to go find him without my order."

?

Qin Shou knelt down in front of Zhou Zheng and said, "My Lord, the young lady and I are truly in love. Please help us!"

?

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng raised his leg and was about to kick Qin Shou.

?

Seeing this, Zhou Pan'er protected Qin Shou without thinking, "Father, you can't hurt Qin Shou. If you want to kick me, just kick me to death. It's just right to kill two people with one body!"

?

Zhou Zheng was very annoyed to see his daughter protecting Qin Shou so much, but he had to consider Zhou Paner's safety.

?

In the end, he could only order someone to take Zhou Pan'er back. As for Qin Shou, he didn't know what to do with him.

?

After all, Qin Shou came to propose marriage today, and someone must know about it. Zhou Zheng cannot allow anyone to ruin his daughter's reputation, even though Zhou Pan'er no longer has any reputation.

?

She was even pregnant with that man's child!

?

Zhou Zheng, who had always been ruthless and courageous, hesitated for the first time.

?

And he sat alone in the front hall unconsciously until dark, without being able to come up with any good solution.
