His protective instincts were too strong.
Su Yingxue laughed, âZi Wei has gotten married; he has a wife now, so naturally he canât be with me every day to protect me.â
âWhat? He actually⦠got married?â Zhilanâs shock nearly made her fall over, âWho could have married Zi Wei?â
âWhat do you mean âwho could have married himâ!â
Su Yingxue chuckled, quite proud, âMy Zi Wei is a one-in-a-million man; itâs definitely he who took a wife!â
âNot at all! Zi Weiâs heart and eyes have only you, Miss. Itâs just a pity that youâre the Ninth Princess Consort, Zi Wei canât marry you, so if he has gotten married, it certainly must be that a formidable girl married him! But I canât imagine, what kind of formidable girl would it take to be with him?â
In Zhilanâs moist eyes shone a full desire for knowledge.
Su Yingxue tapped her, âWhat are you talking about! Zi Wei is just my guard, how could he possibly want to marry me!â
âCanât Miss see? Zi Wei, he really likesâ¦â
Zhilan almost blurted it out, but then remembered Su Yingxueâs current status and quickly covered her mouth, swallowing the words she had nearly said.
âZi Wei really likes what?â Su Yingxue asked.
âNothing, nothing at all!â
Zhilan hurriedly shook her head, she definitely couldnât say it.
Su Yingxue couldnât see it clearly herself, but as an observer, Zhilan could tell that Zi Wei, with his cold face and heart, would risk his life to protect Su Yingxue and valued her above anything else.
Aside from the one he loved, there was nothing else.
Su Yingxue, less observant than Zhilan, just mentioned Zi Wei and felt herself missing him, âI wonder how Zi Wei is doing now that heâs married. Heâs so cold, I worry if Yue Lian will one day not be able to stand it and leave him.â
She truly had the heart of a worried former master!
âI am here.â
A breeze passed by, and a black figure landed in front of Su Yingxue.
Tall, aloof.
Even the purple at the corner of his eyes remained unchanged.
Su Yingxueâs eyes lit up, âZi Wei!!!!â
He was still by her side, like a shadow!
Su Yingxue called out excitedly, but after a moment of excitement, she immediately furrowed her brows, poking Zi Wei in the shoulder and chiding, âYou are someoneâs husband now, how can you still keep circling around me? Where is your wife? She must be angry! Youâd better hurry back to her side! Waitâ¦since youâre here, take a dowry back to her!â
âWhen you got married in a rush, I, as your master, didnât prepare any dowry for you, and you married the young miss without one, thatâs an advantage we canât take for free!â
Su Yingxue said, diving into her storeroom to rummage around, she packed a large chest full of gold, silver, jewels, and deeds for property. From Medicine King Valley, she also gathered some precious medicinal herbs to include in the chest.
She pointed at the large chest for Zi Wei to see, âHere, take this back to Yue Lian, and say itâs the dowry you owe her! No slacking off!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her tone was serious, and Zi Wei nodded after listening, âOkay.â
âAlright, then hurry back, and from now on, unless you come to Jiang Du City with Yue Lian, do not visit me here. Even if you come to the Marquisâs Manor, you must bring your wife with you, understand?â Su Yingxue said with the air of a master, serious and assertive.
Zi Wei answered her seriously, âShe is in Jiang Du City.â
âThen you⦠should definitely bring her with you!â Su Yingxue admonished him with a stern face.
