But Shen Mingzhu didn't feel inferior at all. She let Yanzhi help her up, straighten her somewhat tattered clothes, and salute her, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Exactly, the little girl Shen Mingzhu and her brother Shen Mingtang came here to take shelter from the cold. Unexpectedly, they were hunted down by unknown people, so they had no choice but to seek help from the Marquis. Mingzhu should remember the Marquis's life-saving grace. If he is the Marquis in the future,
If necessary, go through fire and water, and Mingzhu will naturally spare no effort."
Although she looked up at Marquis Wan Qing, she was not humble at all. Instead, she was proud and aloof, without any trace of desperation or embarrassment.
Marquis Wan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at her, a strange feeling welling up in his heart. It was so unfamiliar, so unexpected, and so fast that he couldn't catch it and taste it carefully.
She is beautiful, but after this night of torture, her clothes and hair are messy, her face is covered with dust and blood, and her arms are exposed. The blood and dust have covered their original appearance, but her clear eyes,
But he seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. Even when he was facing a superior person, he still penetrated her to the end without any hesitation.
This is a smart and sharp woman who knows her situation and her strengths.
Wan Qinghou nodded slightly, he did not save the wrong person.
"Long time admired!"
For a man like him, when he tells a lie, it will be felt as a lie at all. There is no flattery or compliment, it is just like a natural and long-lasting admiration.
Shen Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but smile: "Has Mr. Hou heard of the little girl?"
I've known you for a long time, and it's almost a pleasure to meet you.
Marquis Wan Qing laughed loudly and openly, "Of course, Miss Shen is unparalleled in intelligence, superb in piano and flute skills, superb in sex and art, and thoughtful in mind. She is the first female censor in the history of the Qin Dynasty. If you don't know,
, isn’t he deaf?”
After saying that, he even smiled again, just like the first time, with a hint of teasing.
Shen Mingzhu remembered the time she saw him before. She was sitting in a restaurant, drinking tea leisurely and commenting on him. This time, she was sitting on the ground in embarrassment, and he was leisurely watching the scenery of the winter morning and talking to her.
Ridiculed endlessly.
You must find an opportunity to return this favor to this man, otherwise this will be a lifelong nightmare.
Shen Mingzhu absolutely believed that this man, who looked so gentle and elegant, was actually not a kind person.
I hope that I will not involve Xiao Xian. Even if I want to repay him, I will not let Xiao Xian return the favor. After all, Xiao Xian is different from myself.
Wan Qinghou saw her eyes wandering and smiled, "Miss Shen, please get on the boat."
However, Shen Mingzhu shook her head and declined politely, "Thank you very much, Mr. Marquis, for your kindness, but there is no need to disturb you by boarding the ship for the time being. We only need to borrow two sets of clothes."
Marquis Wan Qing did not expect that she would reject him. She was the first person in this world to reject him.
This was the first time I was rejected by someone. This feeling of being rejected for the first time made me feel... unusually uncomfortable.
But he didn't force anything. He never liked others forcing him, and he never forced others.
He smiled and waved his hand, and two rows of maids in white filed out holding various items. Someone opened the screen and quickly set up a tent, someone brought a big wooden bucket and poured hot water, and someone prepared it.
