Lin Zhi was very natural. He even raised his hand to straighten Shen Shu's messy clothes on the way.
Shen Shu thought of what this man had done these days, raised her head and glared at him.
When Mrs. Jing Ninghou saw it, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fearing that the notorious King of Bei'an would raise his hand and kill her daughter.
Then, she saw with her own eyes that King Bei'an raised his hand again.
But instead of killing Shen Shu, he raised his hand and supported Jin Buyao on her head.
Not long after, a group of people entered Jingninghou's mansion together. Jingninghou looked at the boxes of betrothal gifts that were brought in, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
When Lin Zhi did not marry Shen Shu, he was angry that his daughter had followed him without a name or status. Now that Lin Zhi had paid a betrothal gift to marry Shen Shu, he felt that Lin Zhi was sick and might not live long, and his daughter You might be wronged if you marry him.
Besides... Shen Shu and the prince are still engaged. If she remarries the King of Bei'an at this time, he is afraid that the prince will interfere with her and that people in the capital will gossip.
But at this point, he didn't have much choice but to accept the betrothal gift and discuss the marriage with Lin Zhi.
"After all, getting married is a big event. It shouldn't be rushed or delayed for too long. It's the middle of June. How about setting the date at the end of July? I think July 27th is a good day."
Jing Ninghou discussed with Lin Zhi in a deep voice. Lin Zhi looked at his expression and knew that he did not really want to marry his daughter to him.
However, he really wanted to marry Shen Shu.
So, what to do?
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before coming up with an idea.
First secretly poison Jing Ninghou, and then kill him openly.
He thought this method was very good, but when he looked up, he saw Shen Shu's slightly nervous face.
If Jing Ninghou was ill, Shen Shu would definitely feel distressed, and he would definitely be reluctant to make her feel distressed.
This method didn't work, so he could only raise his head again and continue the last topic that Jing Ning Hou asked, "Okay, everything is entirely up to Mr. Hou."
When Jing Ning saw Lin Zhi thinking for a long time, he thought he was going to say something wise, but he didn't expect that he would say such a sentence after thinking for a long time. He couldn't help but choked for a moment, and then continued to ask Shen Shu, "What do you think, A'luo?" "
Shen Shu was suddenly called and quickly raised her head and replied, "Everything is entirely up to my father."
After asking this question in a circle, it was thrown to Jing Ninghou again. He was a little depressed, so he could only continue to speak, "The person who will pick up the bride will come to Jingninghou's house to pick him up, so before that, Arao will be here at Jingninghou's house. Live in the Marquis Mansion."
This time, not only did Lin Zhi disagree, Shen Shu also subconsciously said, "This... doesn't work well..."
Jing Ning Hou felt depressed again, so he could only settle for the next best thing, "Then you must stay at Jing Ning Hou's residence at least half a month before the wedding, otherwise outsiders will find out and gossip."
Lin Zhi reluctantly agreed, and then continued with the next question with Marquis Jingning.
Fortunately, he had already read and studied for a long time before coming here, and now he could answer questions fluently with Jing Ninghou.
Mrs. Jing Ninghou, who was on the side, took Shen Shu to the door. She raised her hand and took her hand. Feeling the delicate lines on her daughter's palm, she slowly said, "Aluo, do you remember when your sister When you get married?"
Shen Shu tried hard to find her original memory about that period, but she could only remember a vague one and could only shake her head.
Mrs. Jing Ninghou then put her other hand on the back of her hand and said in a deep voice, "It is said that a married daughter is like water poured out, but my mother never thinks so."
"Mother feels that you, Ci'er, and Xiao'er are all children of Jingninghou Mansion. No matter where you marry or go, you are still children of Jingninghou Mansion."
"A'rao, you were wronged because of our incompetence in the past. We parents can't always be so cowardly. A'rao, if you are wronged in the future, come back and tell us. Although your father and I are not powerful now, , but also somewhat capable.”
Mrs. Jing Ninghou's voice was gentle and powerful. Listening to her words, Shen Shu remembered that when she left home, her parents in this world also said similar words.
She turned to look at Mrs. Jing Ninghou. At this time, the figures of Mrs. Jing Ninghou and her living mother kept overlapping each other, and she couldn't help but have red eyes.
Last time, Shen Shu went to hug Mrs. Jing Ninghou who was crying. This time, it was Mrs. Jing Ninghou who raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Shen Shu's eyes.
Wiping away her tears, she tried her best to smile towards Shen Shu, "Don't cry, getting married is a good thing, how can you cry?"
Shen Shu nodded and tried her best to smile towards her.
No one knows whether this marriage is good or bad, they can only pray wholeheartedly that it will be a good thing.
…
Lin Zhi and Jing Ninghou discussed together for a long time and did not leave the house until evening.
When he left the house, he immediately saw Shen Shu watering the flowers with Mrs. Jing Ninghou.
The setting sun cast a layer of golden light on her, which was sacred and inviolable.
Lin Zhi couldn't help but stood there and looked at her for a while.
But Shen Shu discovered her in advance, put down the pot for watering the flowers, and said to him, "My lord, haven't you always wanted to see the flowers bloom? The flowers in Jingninghou Mansion have bloomed, come and have a look?"
Lin Zhi stepped forward, only lowered his eyes and felt that... it was not as beautiful as he imagined.
It seems like something is missing.
He thought for a long time, until Shen Shu started urging him to go out together, and then he reacted in a daze.
It seems...it's not that the flowers don't look good, it's that as long as you are with Shen Shu, no matter how beautiful things are, they don't look good.
Tsk, it’s really seductive.
His mood suddenly became better. After leaving Jingninghou Mansion with Shen Shu, he first put Shen Shu into the carriage. However, he did not rush to get in. Instead, he raised his hand and took something out of his sleeve. I brought something and handed it to Jing Ninghou.
Jing Ninghou accepted the things in confusion, but Lin Zhi didn't explain, just turned around and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Shen Shu also saw his actions just now and couldn't help but ask, "What did you just hand to my father?"
"Bride price." Lin Zhi opened the carriage curtain to look at Jing Ninghou's expression. Sure enough, he saw that his future father-in-law was looking shocked.
He couldn't help but curl his lips and went to hold Shen Shu's hand again.
Shen Shu subconsciously asked, "What kind of betrothal gift?" She also remembered that Lin Zhi had been hiding the fact that she wanted to propose marriage for the past few days. She got angry and threw his hand away and said, "Forget it, you won't tell me anyway. I, I’d better not ask so as not to humiliate myself.”
Seeing her cute look, Lin Zhi couldn't help but smile. He raised his arms, gently lifted her into his arms, and then nuzzled her ears with the tip of his nose. His voice was very soft and a bit coaxing. ,"Tell you."
