In the main house!
“Young master, I heard everything just now. Qingshan is willing to marry me, why didn’t you agree!” Xiao Ju pouted, protesting!
Qin Yun smiled. "Silly girl, what's the hurry?"
"Our goal today was to get Qingshan to marry me, and you, young master, changed your mind!"
"I didn't change my mind, I just wanted to make Qingshan anxious!"
"But now it seems Qingshan isn't anxious, you are the one who is eager!"
Xiao Ju realized she was too impulsive and immediately lowered her head shyly. "Young master, please stop teasing me!"
Qin Yun stroked Xiao Ju's head and said, "Silly girl, even if you like someone, don't show it too obviously, or they'll have you completely under their thumb!"
Xiao Ju nodded as if she understood. "Does that mean, young master... playing hard to get?"
This?
Qin Yun felt a bit awkward!
The meaning was similar, but not exactly right!
She couldn't explain it herself. "If you don't change your ways, after marriage, Qingshan will have you eating out of his hand! Do you understand?"
"Your servant understands!" Xiao Ju secretly reminded herself to be reserved when she saw Qingshan in the future!
Outside the main house!
Qingshan had been waiting outside the door!
He didn't know how the conversation between his master and Xiao Ju had gone!
But he knew that the way Xiao Ju looked at him was always full of affection, that girl... should like him!
This marriage proposal should not be rejected!
Thinking of Xiao Ju's attitude in the past, Qingshan's anxious heart finally settled down!
A moment later!
The door opened!
Qingshan looked up, his gaze flickered past Qin Yun and went directly to Xiao Ju!
Xiao Ju kept her head down, not looking at Qingshan!
Seeing this!
Qingshan furrowed his brows slightly!
Why was there no joy on this girl's face?
Had he misunderstood?
His previously steady heart began to flutter again!
"Young master, Xiao Ju!" Qingshan addressed them politely!
"Xiao Ju has something to tell you, so I won't disturb you!" Qin Yun exchanged a glance with Xiao Ju and then left!
In the courtyard!
Xiao Ju stood still, her head lowered, not looking at Qingshan at all. Compared to her usual lively self, she was like a different person!
Qingshan took two steps forward, coming in front of Xiao Ju, and said gently, "Xiao Ju, do you want to marry me?"
Hearing Qingshan's question, Xiao Ju slightly raised her head. "I am but a mere maid, I'm afraid I am not worthy of you!"
"Young master said that you are marrying me to save me!"
Seeing Xiao Ju about to refuse, Qingshan gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Ju, I like you! I want to marry you, not because of saving me, but because I adore you!"
Qingshan likes her?
She hadn't believed it when her young master mentioned it just now, but she didn't expect this man truly liked her!
He hid it well!
He was usually cold, but he secretly liked her in private!
"If you adore me, why didn't you say so before!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiao Ju regretted it!
Her young master had just told her to be reserved, and then she asked such a bold question! Was she not suited to be a lady!
"I'm clumsy with words and not good at expressing myself!" As he spoke, Qingshan took Xiao Ju's small hand!
Xiao Ju's heart pounded! "Oh my goodness! The person she likes also likes her! Is this a dream?"
"Qingshan, pinch me to see if I'm dreaming!"
Qingshan chuckled. "Silly girl, you are not dreaming!"
Xiao Ju lowered her head in embarrassment, knowing what she was thinking, and he knew it too!
No wonder her young master said she would be completely under Qingshan's thumb!
"Qingshan, since when did you start liking me?" Xiao Ju couldn't help but ask the question in her heart!
"That is... a secret!"
A secret?
"If you don't tell me, I won't marry you!" Xiao Ju pushed Qingshan away and crossed her arms!
Qingshan, not to be outdone, pulled Xiao Ju back. "Hey, you can't do this!"
"I don't care, you have to tell me, otherwise I'll go to a nunnery, and I'd rather be a nun than be with you!"
She refused to believe she couldn't handle this simpleton!
"If you become a nun, I'll become a monk!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ju didn't know whether to be happy or sad!
He was truly a simpleton!
"I'm not talking to you anymore! Hmph!" Xiao Ju ran off in a huff!
Qingshan stood there, stunned. Had he said something wrong?
She was going to become a nun just because he didn't answer her question?
Why were women so troublesome!
Regardless, he knew clearly in his heart that he truly adored Xiao Ju, and he felt particularly distressed when he heard that Xiao Ju was to be executed or sent to a nunnery!
Although he was usually indifferent, he still had emotions!
He liked Xiao Ju's every smile and every frown!
Xiao Ju, hidden in the shadows!
Seeing that Qingshan hadn't followed her, she crossed her arms and stomped her feet on the spot!
"Simpleton, you simpleton, you make me so angry!" Xiao Ju cried as she ran to find Qin Yun!
In the study!
"Young master, Qingshan is such a simpleton, I worry myself sick over him!"
Qin Yun smiled. "Did he make you angry again?"
"Or perhaps, you've become overly sentimental!"
Xiao Ju lowered her head, her mouth pouting deeply. "I'm already angry, and he doesn't even know how to comfort me! Most importantly, he didn't even chase after me!"
Qin Yun rubbed his forehead. "He really is a simpleton! Then you... will have to train him in the future!"
"That's all I can do, who told me to adore him!"
Qin Yun laughed. "You call Qingshan a simpleton while clearly doting on him, isn't that what you like?"
As her young master said this, Xiao Ju playfully stuck out her tongue!
It was indeed true! She loved to see Qingshan looking so serious yet a little foolish!
"Qingshan is a man you can entrust your life to, and I am at ease with you being with him!"
"It's fine to be a little slow when facing the person you love, his abilities are something we all witness! Marrying him, you won't lose out!"
Xiao Ju thought about it. Qingshan, in front of her young master, was exceptionally capable, not only skilled in martial arts but also intelligent!
Since he started following the young master, every task assigned to him seemed to have been handled perfectly!
On the contrary, she herself, aside from serving people and doing rough work, was useless in other aspects!
Facing such an outstanding man, was she reaching too high!
Xiao Ju suddenly became unconfident!
"Silly girl, what's wrong?"
Xiao Ju stammered, "Young master, am I not worthy of Qingshan? He is so outstanding, and compared to him, I am like heaven and earth!"
"You are also very outstanding! You only see the good in others, why don't you look at yourself?"
"But I am clumsy, and only know how to do rough work! I don't know anything else!"
Qin Yun stroked Xiao Ju's head and said, "You are virtuous and proper, lively and lovable, you not only know how to take care of people, but you are also a master cook! Qingshan is fortunate to marry you!"
"Young master, is what you said true?"
"Of course, it's true!"
Xiao Ju gradually smiled, and the slight melancholy in her heart quickly dissipated. "I'll listen to you, young master, whatever you say, goes!"
"Then you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ju nodded shyly!
"Alright! It's settled then. Tomorrow, I will send someone to Taifosi Temple to ask Master Kong Tian to choose a good day for you!"
Xiao Ju frowned. "Young master, is it that fast?" Kuai Shu Ge
"Fast? Haven't you liked Qingshan for a long time?"
