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

That night, Zhou Zheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

?

Xie Xiangyu couldn't sleep either.

?

"My Lord, what's wrong with you? You seem to be worried about something?"

?

Zhou Zheng did not hide anything from Xie Xiangyu, but he still did not reveal a single word about Zhou Zimo's background.

?

However, his serious attitude naturally aroused Xie Xiangyu's speculation. She could more or less guess that Zhou Zimo's background was not simple, otherwise Zhou Zheng would not have been so determined to send Zhou Zimo away.

?

But Xie Xiangyu was not sure. If Zhou Zimo woke up and found that he was exiled to the frontier, would he come back immediately?

?

"My Lord, you know the eldest son best. Are you sure he will be happy to accept your arrangement?"

?

Zhou Zheng shook his head. "That brat has a bad temper. He will definitely not obey me. But I have already made arrangements. Madam, in my heart, I treat Liu Zheng as my own daughter. It's a pity that she and that brat are not destined to be together!"

?

"My Lord, I know. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade Liu Zheng."

?

Then Xie Xiangyu took him to rest.

?

"You can sleep now. You still have to attend court tomorrow, my Lord."

?

Zhou Zheng quickly extinguished the candle and went to bed with Xie Xiangyu.

?

That night, Xie Liuzheng fell into a drowsy sleep, and then he felt as if he was on a small boat, swaying from side to side.

?

But her eyelids were too heavy, and even though she wanted to check her surroundings, she couldn't open her eyes.

?

It was not until noon the next day that Xie Xiangyu waited for a long time, but Liu Zheng did not come out. In desperation, she rushed in.

?

"Liu Zheng! Where is Liu Zheng? Why is there no one in the room?"

?

Xie Xiangyu was furious when she saw this.

?

Chunyue and Xiayue were both in a daze, and faced with Xie Xiangyu's questioning, both of them still seemed unconscious.

?

"I slept very soundly last night, and the young lady also went to bed early. The young lady never likes the company of my servants, so I don't know where the young lady is."

?

When Xie Xiangyu heard this, she immediately sent someone to find Xie Liuzheng. At the same time, she sent a message to Zhou Zheng, asking him to send a pigeon to his subordinates to see whether Zhou Zimo had returned to Beijing.

?

Liu Zheng was kidnapped, and Zhou Zimo must have something to do with it.

?

She didn't care about anything else and just hoped that Liu Zheng could be found safely. As for her reputation and other things, Xie Xiangyu had no time to care about them at the moment.

?

"I just want Liu Zheng to appear in front of me safely! As for the rest, let fate take its course."

?

However, as soon as Zhou Zheng came home from court, he received a message from Xie Xiangyu. He immediately contacted the personal soldiers who were escorting Zhou Zimo to the border. Only then did the guards realize that the person lying in the carriage was no longer Zhou Zheng.

?

At this moment, Zhou Zheng brought Xie Liuzheng to a small village hundreds of kilometers away from the outskirts of Beijing. He took off his silk clothes and changed himself and Xie Liuzheng into coarse cloth clothes.

?

He bought a small house with four courtyards and fully furnished it.

?

This was a house that Zhou Zheng had asked a broker to buy and that he could move into immediately. It was at the entrance of the village and had a good location, and it only cost him eighty taels of silver.

?

If this piece of land were in the capital, it would cost several thousand taels.

?

But now he only spent a little money to buy the place.

?

Zhou Zimo was not idle either. He sat by the bed, holding his cheek, waiting for Xie Liuzheng to wake up.

?

After a while, Zhou Zimo noticed that Xie Liuzheng's eyelashes trembled a few times, but Xie Liuzheng did not open his eyes until Zhou Zimo smiled and said.

?

"If you don't wake up, I'm going to kiss you."

?

Now Xie Liuzheng had to open her eyes. Although her mind was still a little confused, when she looked at Zhou Zimo in front of her and the simple house around her, Xie Liuzheng suddenly understood something.

?

"Where am I? Master Zhou, why did you bring me here?"

?

Xie Liuzheng pretended to know nothing and asked him directly.

?

Zhou Zimo did not hide this from her. "I have kidnapped you. From now on, we will live here incognito and be an ordinary couple."

?

Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised.

?

She didn't expect Zhou Zimo to be so extreme. He wanted to be an ordinary couple with her. So he didn't want his title of champion? And he didn't want Zhou Zheng as his father?

?

If he proceeds according to plan, the Pingxi Marquisate will be his in the future.

?

Moreover, Marquis Guanjun became a marquis of a different surname at such a young age. Is he going to give up his bright future for his own sake?

?

Xie Liuzheng thought for a moment, and then she gently advised, "My Lord, I think you should think twice before acting! You can have a bright future, but are you going to give up everything for me?"

?

"Also, I don't want to settle down here with you without knowing the reason. It's not legitimate, it's just eloping. Since ancient times, eloping has been a concubine. Mr. Zhou, although I, Xie Liuzheng, was born in a merchant family, I have never degenerated to the point of wanting to be a concubine."

?

Then Xie Liuzheng stood up with his back straight.

?

She has made her attitude clear.

?

But Zhou Zimo was unwilling to let her go, "Liu Zheng, you actually have me in your heart, right?"

?

"I am willing to give up everything for you. In my opinion, I don't care about those titles! I only want you! There are three thousand rivers, and I only drink from one ladle! All this is just because of you!"

?

Zhou Zimo looked at her lovingly.

?

Xie Liuzheng was a little surprised by this. She couldn't understand what she had done to make Zhou Zimo think so highly of her?

?

"Mr. Zhou, are you attracted by my appearance? But you should know that appearance will age, and I disdain to use my beauty to please men!"

?

Xie Liuzheng wanted to persuade Zhou Zimo, but he was adamant and ignored her no matter how she tried to persuade him.

?

In response to this, Xie Liuzheng gave up wasting time talking to him.

?

Afterwards Zhou Zimo went out for a while. Xie Liuzheng didn't think of escaping. Firstly, she didn't know martial arts. This place looked very remote. It would be difficult for her to walk back to the capital on her own!

?

Secondly, Xie Liuzheng felt that since Zhou Zimo had gone to so much trouble to capture her, he would naturally not let her escape.

?

Since he couldn't run away, Xie Liuzheng wouldn't waste his energy.

?

She might as well enjoy the fresh air here, the tranquility and elegance that are not available in the capital, and of course the simple and unpretentious folk customs.

?

Xie Liuzheng stood in the yard and took a deep breath of fresh air.

?

And here, she doesn't need to please others deliberately.

?

I have to say, this place is like a paradise, it’s a pity that I can’t bring my mother with me.

?

Xie Liuzheng sighed with regret.

?

"Liu Zheng, it's time to eat. I just went out to catch some fish. Now I'll show you how good I am!"

?

After a while, Zhou Zimo came back with two big fish in his hands. Seeing him skillfully processing the fish's internal organs, Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but ask in surprise.

?

"You can actually kill fish?"
