Li Qingqian had many questions in her mind, but she didn't know where to start.

"What are you thinking about, lady?"

She looked at Shen Changyun's curious expression and thought of something she could ask right now, "Did you write me a note in the brocade bag that contained the jade pendant?"

Shen Changyun glared at her with some resentment, "I've been expecting you to bring up this matter since I got in the car. I thought you didn't care. Now you're finally asking?"

Li Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the question was asked at a very timely moment.

"In fact, I have talked to my father about our marriage since the beginning of the year. As soon as he went to discuss it with your father last month, I planned to send someone to deliver this token of love to you."

"But my lady and I haven't seen each other for three years. I missed you so much that I decided to escort you back to the capital and then give you the jade pendant. But I saw you jump down and save the scholar in the Chengning River. I thought..."

"Why?" Li Qingqian, who was feeling shy because of Shen Changyun's straightforward expression just now, felt a pang in her heart because of his words.

She was reborn just after she rescued Jiang Lin. If Shen Changyun was upset with her because of this, she would have no way to defend herself.

Shen Changyun's eyes were slightly red, and he said with some fear: "I thought you didn't like me and didn't want to marry me, so you went to get in touch with that scholar. Madam, I admit that I had some selfish motives. I didn't want you to marry someone else, so after your sister claimed that she saved the scholar, she had people spread the news in the capital."

Li Qingqian was stunned. So this is what Shen Changyun thought?

The mutton-fat jade pendant from her previous life was not given to her. Perhaps it was because Li Shuyue disliked Jiang Lin at that time, and after she chose Jiang Lin, Shen Changyun no longer had the need to give her the mutton-fat jade pendant.

Seeing her thinking, Shen Changyun was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "This action is indeed a bit shameful. I told you the truth. If you think I am not a good person now, then I will tell my father that this marriage is over, right?"

Li Qingqian shook her head. "Although you were the one who spread this story, if Li Shuyue hadn't done that on the boat, you wouldn't have been able to spread it. The prince has been thinking about me for so many years. If I break off the engagement because of such a small matter, wouldn't I be letting him down?"

Besides, she was worried about not being able to get rid of Jiang Lin at that time, and Shen Changyun's actions helped her escape smoothly.

I am so grateful to him that I can't even begin to express my gratitude to him, so how could I blame him?

"You... really think so?" Shen Changyun asked cautiously.

Li Qingqian curled her lips, smiling like a cunning little fox, and shook the bracelet on her wrist in front of him, "Since I have already accepted the heirloom given by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, how can I not marry her? Besides, the prince has done a great job in this matter."

Shen Changyun smiled with relief, "Since I have done a good job, shouldn't you give me some rewards?"

"What reward does the prince want?"

If the other person helps you, you must give him a gift in return, but what should you give him?

Li Qingqian thought that as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo and the nephew of the current emperor, he should have fine clothes and delicious food, so he should have everything he needed.

Shen Changyun raised a mysterious smile, "Anything is fine?"

Before she could react, he said cheerfully, "Kiss me!"

Li Qingqian blushed immediately and hesitated.

Seeing her like this, Shen Changyun also took a step back, "If you are embarrassed, then just hug me. I have been missing you so much these days that I haven't had a good rest for several nights."

Li Qingqian looked up and saw that his eyes were indeed blue. She sighed inwardly, they were already engaged, so it wouldn't be a big deal to hug him, right?

The next moment, the delicate girl fell into his arms. Shen Changyun was stunned for just a moment, then he hugged the beauty tightly, feeling very satisfied.

Although he looked cynical, he had a cool plum fragrance on him. When it lingered around Li Qingqian's nose, she felt unprecedented peace of mind.

In this life, she would not be forced to sit on the throne of queen by stepping on the flesh and blood of her relatives, nor would she have to maintain the honor and dignity of a queen all day long, nor would she have to be in harmony with her enemies in front of others.

An idea came to Li Qingqian's mind. She didn't want Shen Changyun to shave his head and become a monk.

At an angle she couldn't see, Shen Changyun's thin lips were filled with a smile of success, and the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden.

It seems that my wife is quite good at the tactic of retreating in order to advance.

……

Guqing Temple is the most popular temple in Daweishengjing. Even in such a bitterly cold wind, there are many nobles from the capital who come here to pray for blessings.

"Come, ma'am, give me your hand," Shen Changyun got out of the car first. When he reached out to help Li Qingqian, he remembered her previous instructions, "Miss Li San, I'll help you get out of the car."

Seeing that he kept his words in mind all the time, Li Qingqian felt a sweetness for no reason. She smiled and put her hand in his, letting him help her get off the carriage.

"I heard that the wintersweets on the hill behind Guqing Temple are in great bloom. After we burn incense, would you like to go and enjoy them with me, Miss?"

Hearing the words "back mountain", Li Qingqian was shocked. That was the place where he fell to his death in his previous life. Now when he thinks of the sudden feeling of weightlessness, he still feels a little scared.

But no matter how scared I am, I have to overcome it. Otherwise, if I am so scared over such a small thing, how can I take revenge in the future? How can I find out the truth about my mother's death?

Thinking of this, she raised her little face and smiled sweetly, "Okay."

Li Qingqian didn't have any special desires, she just prayed in her heart that everything would go smoothly for her in the future whether it was revenge or her life, so she just bowed and stood up.

But when he turned around, he saw Shen Changyun beside him, who seemed particularly pious, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What did the prince ask for?"

"I hope your parents are healthy, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and," he looked at her tenderly, "I hope that Miss San can be happy and smiling every day."

"Why don't you ask for something for yourself, my Lord?"

Shen Changyun took her hand and said, "I have already obtained what I wanted most."

Li Qingqian's emotions were becoming more and more turbulent. In this mood, she was about to say something to him.

But at this time, Shen Changyun's attendant hurried over and whispered something in his ear. Shen Changyun's expression suddenly darkened, "I know, I'll go right away."

Li Qingqian asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Shen Changyun gave her a reassuring smile, "It's nothing, I just have something to do right now, so I'm afraid I can't accompany the third lady to the back hills to appreciate the plum blossoms. Sorry."

Li Qingqian was not ignorant, she nodded and said with a smile: "Go and get busy, my prince. It is early winter now, there are plenty of days to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Some things will be the same no matter how you say them another day.

"Then I'll leave the carriage behind and have the driver take you home later?"

"I have been busy with my wedding since I returned to Beijing. Now I have a chance. I want to walk back and enjoy the scenery of Shengjing."

His face looked bad after hearing what the attendant said. Li Qingqian thought that maybe he had something important to tell her, so she should let him sit in the carriage.

Shen Changyun took a bunch of bright winter plums from the long-servant, handed it to Li Qingqian, and said with a smile: "I prepared it early in the morning. I originally wanted to give it to you after I took you back, but now it seems a bit hasty."

Li Qingqian smiled and shook her head, "I understand what the prince means, you go ahead and do your work, I'll take a look around and then it'll be time to go back home."

After a quick goodbye, Shen Changyun left.
