Three days later, at night.

Lee Chunqiao looked at the interior of the house that had already turned out the lights. She quietly closed the door and left the room.

The next moment, Lee Chunqiao walked out of Jia Faang's study room with a delicate voice. "Brother Jia, Brother Jia."

The door opened. "Coming." Jia Faang had a smile on his face, "Come on in."

Lee Chunqiao feigned shyness as she lifted up her skirt and walked in. "These past few days, did Big Brother Jia think of Little Qiao?"

"Of course I want to." Without much words, the light was extinguished by Jia Faang and the two of them became entangled once again.

After she was done, Lee Chunqiao laid beside Jia Faang, lightly gasping for breath. She reached out her hand to hold Jia Faang's hand: "Brother Jia, will you marry me?"

"Yes." Jia Faang agreed, but in his heart, he didn't have any intention of doing so.

"Then when will you be coming to my house to propose?" Lee Chunqiao's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Jia Faang explained the reason he had prepared beforehand, "Mei Er, we have yet to get the betrothal gift for Jia Family back from the Gu family. When it is back, I will apply."

"We'll listen to Big Brother Jia." Lee Chunqiao had no objections. When Jia Faang had proposed to the Gu family, she had seen those wedding gifts before. It was indeed generous.

However, after getting the answer of marrying back, Lee Chunqiao's heart calmed down a lot. She laid in Jia Faang's embrace and smiled sweetly. It was not in vain that she took the initiative to come to find him many times in the night.

Madame Zuo woke up and went to the toilet. When she passed by Lee Chunqiao's room, she noticed the door was ajar. She felt suspicious and pushed the door open. When she entered, she found no trace of Lee Chunqiao at all.

He did not sleep well the latter half of the night. It was only when he saw his own daughter coming out of the Jia Family's main entrance during the day that Madame Zuo could finally relax.

Previously, Lee Chunqiao came out from the back door of Jia Family because Jia Faang hadn't admitted her identity, so she couldn't let others find out about her secret meeting with Jia Faang. Now that Jia Fang had confirmed that he was going to marry her, she no longer hid her feelings.

If Jia Faang came to propose marriage in the future, it would be more appropriate for her to ask for more gifts. Since Jia Faang was the only son, as long as she helped his daughter marry him, she wouldn't need to point fingers at him in the future.

She was waiting for Chunqiao to tell her about this. She pretended that she didn't know nothing and returned to the kitchen to cook.

"Mom, I'm going to the river to wash my clothes." Gu Qingzi shouted as she stood in front of her house with a basin in her arms.

"To the river." Madame Gu's heart skipped a beat when she heard that voice. She walked out of the room and looked at Gu Qingzi with a conflicted expression.

Gu Qingzi thought for a moment and understood why. She put down the wooden basin and said softly, "Mother, I won't be careless this time. That won't happen."

Madame Gu abruptly held Gu Qingzi's hand, her eyes turning red. "You have to be careful of your safety. Stay away from the Zuo family's daughter!"

"Understood, Mother." Gu Qingzi pursed her lips and smiled. She bent down to pick up the wooden basin and left the house. After walking for a while, she arrived at the river bank. She glanced at the women who were talking to each other, walked upstream silently, sat down, took out her clothes and wet them before starting to wash them.

A few of them believed that Gu Qingzi wouldn't be able to hear their conversation, and they started to gossip about her.

"It was this woman who beat up Scholar Jia."

"So rude?"

"Not only that, I heard that it was an unclear situation. When Elementary Scholar Jia went to end the engagement, he was beaten by the Gu family's eldest brother."

Originally, that was not the case, but not everyone knew the inside story. Moreover, the truth spread from one to another, spreading all the way to the end, it was no different from a myth. It was extremely absurd.

Gu Qingzi did not mind at all. In the past, she had heard of medical disputes before, and the worst that could happen was that her mouth was shattered.

When Lee Chunqiao heard these words, she felt extremely proud of herself. However, when she looked at Gu Qingzi and discovered that she was indifferent, an inexplicable sense of anger rose up in her heart. Without a second thought, she walked to Gu Qingzi's side and squatted down, "Gu Qingzi, are you deaf?"

Gu Qingzi didn't even give Lee Chunqiao a glance.

Lee Chunqiao laughed sarcastically, "What? For a dignified daughter of the Gu family to be so foolish right now, hehe, hehe, what you've done really surprises me. "

"Can you be a little more hypocritical? Perhaps …" Gu Qingzi stopped washing the clothes in her hands and looked up at Lee Chunqiao. There was no emotion in her eyes as she coldly asked, "How do you plan to explain pushing me down the river?" "No need to deny it. I remember now."

Lee Chunqiao's face turned pale as she stubbornly said, "I didn't push you."

"Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you?" Gu Qingzi retracted her gaze and continued washing her clothes. "It's not you. You know what I'm doing. I won't argue with you. You don't even have to worry about knocking on the door at night, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Lee Chunqiao turned around abruptly.

Gu Qingzi restrained her arrogance as she glanced at Lee Chunqiao's back. The corner of her mouth curled up; she was still too young. She was slightly frightened and exposed all her horses' legs. If it wasn't you pushing her, then what were you doing at home? What was he doing with a guilty conscience?

"Don't go, let's talk some more." Gu Qingzi looked at Lee Chunqiao in amusement.

Lee Chunqiao didn't say a word as she silently washed her clothes.

Gu Qingzi looked at Lee Chunqiao, intentionally or not.

"Uh-huh." Gu Qingzi raised her eyebrows. She calculated that Lee Chunqiao had coughed five or six times and even took a few dates out of her pocket to eat.

These characteristics made Gu Qingzi think about one thing: Lee Chunqiao was pregnant!

In ancient times, a fiancée was bound to fall into a river, unless the male partner was willing to marry her. However, Gu Qingzi thought about Jia Faang's personality and mockingly curled her lips, and only Lee Chunqiao would believe that. She waited for Jia Faang to cry, but she didn't care about herself, and no one would care about you.

Recalling what happened in the forest that day, the sarcasm on the corner of Gu Qingzi's mouth grew even stronger. She was willing to fight one on one, so it was better for her to just sit there and watch the show.

"The Gu family's daughter has really changed. Why is she so fierce?"

The few people who were washing clothes did not say a word.

One of them stopped, glanced at Gu Qingzi, and whispered, "Say, could it be that the Gu Family's daughter had gotten dirty water, which is why the Gu Family is so unlucky right now?"

"Pah pah pah!" "Don't talk nonsense, what does what Gu Wei do have to do with Gu Qingzi? They're all neighbors, and if this gets to Old Man Gu's ears, you won't find the Gu family messy enough. Calm down a bit and wash your clothes." This person, who was slightly on good terms with the Gu family, directly eliminated the rumor from its root.

The woman looked at her in silence.

Gu Qingzi washed her clothes and left with the basin.
