The next day, as usual, Old Man Huang sent someone to bring her over while Xia passed through the books. This time, in the parlour, she saw everyone from the Huang Family, including that rotten Liu Yanzhi and Liu Changgui.

Old man Huang was sitting at the center of the hall, wearing a blue robe, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Speak of the devil. You've been married for more than a month now. Take him out for a walk." Huang Zijie's heart was sour, and his tone turned sorrowful.

Looking at her daughter standing in front of him, it was really hard to see her again. Her daughter, who had been raised for seventeen years, was about to leave this house. Even though her heart was filled with reluctance, she had no other way. In the end, her daughter had already become someone else.

After hearing Old Man Huang's words, Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Finally, he could leave the Huang Residence and take a look at the outside world. He wondered if this was the so-called honeymoon. So this was also popular in ancient times?

He couldn't help but size up Liu Yanzhi. The wounds on his face had completely healed, but this was the first time he'd looked like this. However, the blue-gray ribbon on top of his head had turned into a delicate hairpin, and a white jade hairpin had passed through it. The imperceptibly refined temperament seemed to have gained a bit more nobility.

Liu Yanzhi's life after his marriage wasn't as bad as he'd imagined. As usual, nothing had changed.

To him, getting married was just paying respects to a hall, so he had to change the name to "wife" for his cousin. In fact, he hadn't called out to her yet.

Having not seen Huang Si for over a month, Liu Yanzhi was no longer as repulsed by him as he had been at Lingyan Temple. With the addition of the relationship with Qi Qian, he now felt more amiable towards Huang Si, who was similar to his shield and life-saving talisman.

The night before his departure, Liu Yanzhi was forced back into her bridal chamber.

Xia Ziqi hadn't stayed in this so-called new house for even a day. Today, he was going to enjoy the feeling of this soft pear blossom bed, but that rotten Liu Yanzhi had come in instead.

Yao'er tactfully left the room, closing the door behind her.

When Liu Yanzhi heard the sound of the door closing, he was startled. He looked at Huang Que warily as he prepared to defend himself. He clearly remembered the words she had said after beating him up: "Stop appearing in front of me. I'll beat you up every time I see you."

Due to her fear of her warning, she didn't dare to show her face even once during her punishment. She only had Chang Gui pay her a visit. No matter how much he disliked this marriage, she was still his cousin. Her uncle had only punished her because she had beaten him.

Old Man Huang didn't give a clear explanation of the reason why Huang Si was punished, which was why all kinds of versions were produced. In Liu Yanzhi's version, Chang Gui told his uncle to beat him with yellow cauliflower, and then his uncle gave him fair punishment to think about transcribing books. Therefore, the reason for the yellow cabbage punishment was because it had beaten him up.

Xia Pang calmly sat at his desk and read a book, as if he hadn't seen him. She felt disgusted just by looking at him. Even though she had finally confirmed that he and Huang QIqian had nothing to do with each other, her preconceived impression of him hadn't changed in the slightest.

Liu Yanzhi stood there for a long time, but seeing no reaction from the yellow flowers, he slowly relaxed his guard. It seemed like Changgui's words were true. She was just too angry that she attacked him that day. Who would really see him hit him once?

As she thought of this, she felt a lot more relaxed. She walked over to the side of the cabbages and sat down. Seeing how serious she was reading, she was somewhat conflicted. Should I disturb him? How should he call her? He finally opened his mouth after a long consideration, "What kind of books are you reading? So serious? "

Xia Zhilan raised his gaze slightly and shifted it away from the book. "Yellow flower cauliflower?" Are you talking to me? "

Liu Yanzhi beamed. "Is there anyone else in this house?" That's what I've always called you! It's not that petty! "

"Liu Yanzhi, I'll say it again. Don't appear in front of me anymore, see you …"

"I'll beat you up every time I see you! "Hey, I'm right in front of you. Do you want to fight?" Liu Yanzhi had a mischievous smile on her face when she suddenly realized how adorable and adorable the oriole was. It was much more interesting than when it was cold and quiet.

These past few days, whenever he thought of this yellow cabbage, it was all because of that sharp tongue of hers outside the Lingyan Temple. This had already become the entirety of his memories of her. That quiet and cool yellow cabbage became more and more blurry, as if it was originally like this.

Xia Sheng saw that he was looking for a fight and couldn't help but think about it.

He also knew some kung fu. Was it because he knew he was wrong to let her do it last time? This time, he must have come prepared. Even if he looked at this room, he wouldn't be able to use it. More importantly, if you want to hit me, then I will play with you.

When he thought here, he suddenly gave up the desire to fight and rolled his eyes, "Boring!" Her gaze returned to the book and continued to read.

"It's rather boring like this. There's only the two of us here, let's find something to do!" Liu Yanzhi was still smiling the same as before, her arms folded on the table as she moved her head closer.

After listening to such indistinct hints, as well as that smiling face that came closer, Xia perverted a punch: "hooligan!"

"Ah!" Liu Yan, who was in pain, instinctively rubbed his bloody nose. His face was filled with grievance and helplessness as he looked at Xia Zhicheng. "How barbaric, why beat someone up again!?" Who's the hoodlum?

Xia Sheng abruptly stood up and slammed the book on the table. He placed one foot on the chair, placed one hand on his hip, and pointed at Liu Yanzhi with the other. It was you, you little rascal. "Say, how old are you, and what are you thinking about in your head?"

Liu Yanzhi wiped the blood from his nose, a lost expression on his face. "What did I think of?" I just think it's boring for two people to sit there and play chess with each other. Is that wrong? "

Xia Sheng looked at Liu Yanzhi's innocent expression, his eyes as clear as water. Her sharp gaze suddenly darkened. So she was the one with impure thoughts, she was overthinking things.

He knew he was in the wrong, so he was at a loss. His eyes also started to flicker.

"Then, then, then you can directly say it's a game of chess, a match!" Even after the summer, when he knew he was in the wrong, he still argued.

"I'm just taking care of you, let's see what you want to play with!" Liu Yanzhi's eyes were filled with resentment, that innocent fellow! He added in his heart: Hit me again! Even my father didn't hit me, at most he punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall. If it weren't for the fact that you were a girl and had been punished for more than a month, I wouldn't have been so kind to listen to you.

Xia Sheng forced a smile as he looked at Liu Yanzhi's bloody nose and suddenly felt a little guilty. Actually, Liu Yanzhi wasn't as bad as he'd imagined. Pointing to his nose, he said, "You don't have to worry! Why don't you stop the bleeding first? "

"Of course it matters! Blood was flowing out! I don't know how you became a wife, but my husband's nose is bleeding, and yet you're still standing there unmoved. " Liu Yanzhi tossed Xia Pingguo an expression that said 'you're an idiot'.

Xia Sheng took a deep breath to suppress the fire raging in his heart, convincing himself: No anger, he's just a little kid. I'm not going to lower myself to his level.

He walked to the right side of the room and retrieved the vase of fresh flowers. He poured the water inside and waved his hand towards Liu Yanzhi. "Come here."

"What are you doing!" Liu Yanzhi looked at the basin of cold water, feeling that the yellow cauliflower had a bad conscience, and asked in alarm.

"Help you stop the bleeding, what did you say!?" Xia Pingtian replied in a bad mood.

"Oh!" Liu Yanzhi walked over obediently.

"Keep your head down." His commanding tone made Liu Yanzhi drop her head without a second thought. She smiled softly and was quite obedient. He scooped up a handful of water and splashed it onto Liu Yanzhi's neck, patting it with his hand.

Liu Yanzhi jumped to his feet in shock, a sullen look on his face. "What are you doing!?" In such a cold weather, splash me with cold water. "

Xia Sheng grabbed Liu Yan by the head and held him still. "Don't move. I said I'd help you stop the bleeding, but you wanted to bleed yourself to death!" As he spoke, he scooped another handful of water and splashed it onto the back of his neck, patting it lightly.

Liu Yanzhi's hand was twisted, but he couldn't move it. All he could do was endure the cold water splashing onto the back of his neck. Even though he could not move his mouth, he did not stay idle. "Yellow flower vegetables, don't be too excessive! "Be careful that I don't want to divorce you."

Xia Sheng nonchalantly smiled. Seeing that the bleeding had slowly stopped, he released him. He wiped his wet hands with a cotton towel and tossed it to Liu Yanzhi. "Great!" I couldn't wait. It's like who wants to marry you. "

Liu Yanzhi took the cotton towel and wiped the water off his neck before wiping his nose. As expected, there was no more blood. It worked, even though it was cold.

He always had a nosebleed problem. He would bleed if his nose hit him, and it would bleed if the weather got too dry. His father had also invited the imperial physicians in the palace to take a look, but the results weren't too obvious. The only thing he could do was to boil the medicine and drink it every time the blood flowed. This time, he actually patted it with cold water.

"You don't want to marry me, why did you come to Lingyan Temple to find me!? "You're still begging me to come back and get married."

Liu Yan Zhi put down the cotton towel and felt the wet collar of her shirt. It was too wet and uncomfortable, so she had to change her clothes. As she spoke, she walked towards the door.

"Tch!" "If it were not to save your Liu Family, I would not have married you." Xia Hou then sat at the table and continued to pick up the unfinished book.

Liu Yanzhi halted in the middle of opening the door, turning to walk in front of Xia Sheng. "What did you say?" Save our Liu Family? "

"Why, you still don't know?" Xia Sheng put down the book again and looked at Liu Yanzhi. "Then I'll tell you in good faith." Your father committed the crime of deceiving the monarch, and he asked our family to help him turn the lie into the truth. If it weren't for the fact that the Liu Family was a benefactor and a relative to the Huang Family, who would be willing to marry their daughter so quickly? It's not like you can't wait until you're pregnant. "

Liu Yanzhi's expression instantly darkened. "Explain everything clearly."

Xia Sheng looked at him, completely oblivious to the situation, and couldn't help but shake his head.

This Liu Hua Qing held an important position, and was the top scholar. He never thought that he would be so pampered by his son that he would not even tell him about such an important matter. When he grows up and knows what he can afford?

Fine! Old Man Liu and Old Man Huang were both so careful to protect him, so she would do the job for this evil person.

"It happened like this. Someone in the palace wants to curry favor with the emperor …" After telling the whole story, Xia Guan added on in the end, "That's why I went to Lingyan Temple. "This has nothing to do with whether I want to marry you or not. I am only repaying the favor of the Liu Family. I did not want the Liu Family to suffer again because of your willfulness."

Liu Yanzhi froze in shock. He thought of what his father had said before he came to Jiangning, and how he'd seen Zhang Huai.

Could it be that his father had long since been prepared? If the emperor really did make a move, wouldn't that affect him, who was far away in Jiangning? That's why he stayed in Jiangning for a few more days? Did he already tell his uncle that if something happened to the Liu Family, he would be under his uncle's care?

"Why didn't Father tell me? and arranged everything for me. " Liu Yanzhi murmured.

"I want to protect you. I'm afraid you'll be worried." Look at how much your father has pampered you! When will you grow up? " Xia Sheng gave him a disdainful look.

Liu Yanzhi lifted his head to look at Xia Pang. "Who said I haven't grown up? I've long since become an adult."

Xia Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Yanzhi's serious expression. "You!?" Now? Master? Heh, that's too funny. " Xia Sheng put away his smile as he greeted Liu Yanzhi's unhappy expression. "Fine!" Let me ask you, what are you going to do next? What is your purpose in life? "

Liu Yanzhi thought for a moment before suddenly raising his head. "I'm going to pay a visit to the seniors and take part in this year's Imperial Examinations. My goal in life is to be, to be, to be."
