Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 73 Protect her thoroughly in this life

Jiang Xifeng looked at his sister. Thinking about the six months since he left home, the two of them may have been deeply in love.

Thinking of this, how could Jiang Xifeng have any reason to disagree? It's just that he can't bear to leave his sister. In his heart, Xiaohe is still a little girl. Is she going to get married now?

Jiang Xifeng's eyes showed reluctance, "Don't be offended, Mr. Pei. I am the elder brother. I hope that my sister will have a smooth life. Mr. Pei is brave and outstanding. It is Xiaohe's blessing that Xiaohe can win Mr. Pei's heart. I hope that Mr. Pei will live up to his promise. If I treat her sincerely, I will be worthy of my father and mother."

Jiang Xihe looked at his brother excitedly, "Brother, do you agree?"

Jiang Xifeng scratched her little nose and said, "Master Pei is still here, do you hate getting married so much?"

Jiang Xifeng's face suddenly turned red, and Pei Zhizhao breathed a sigh of relief, his face obviously much more relaxed than before, "I'm here, thank you brother."

Pei Zhizhao is two years older than Jiang Xifeng, and he can't call him brother no matter what.

······

Pei Zhizhao came to Yong'an Lane to propose marriage with great fanfare. Neighbors had long heard the news and gathered at the entrance of the alley. Some bolder people kept lingering in front of Jiang Xihe's house, looking into the yard from time to time to see what was going on.

When Pei Zhizhao saw this, he stood up with a smile and said, "I am the master of Ping'an County. I should let this good news rejoice with the people."

Pei Zhizhao took out a document from his sleeve, "This is a marriage proposal stamped with the official seal. It will be converted into a formal marriage document after the wedding date is set. Xiaohe, do you accept it?"

Jiang Xifeng didn't expect Pei Zhizhao to be prepared for this. He smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself that the powerful General Ping Xi was indeed not a gimmick. Fortunately, he agreed to the marriage.

Based on this strategizing way of doing things, who else can shirk it?

It was a blessing for the Jiang family that Xiaohe could win his heart. Jiang Xifeng also believed that Pei Zhizhao took his sister into his heart just because of the silver and bronze key in his private treasury.

Jiang Xihe was not only shocked but also moved. When her father promised him Li Chengye's marriage, it was because she did not go into the officialdom that she suffered so much grievance and slander later on.

This paper agreement is not a binding, but a commitment.

Jiang Xihe walked up to Pei Zhizhao and said firmly, "Master Pei, I am willing."

Pei Zhizhao took her hand and slowly led her out. In Jiang Xihe's ears, Pei Zhizhao smiled and murmured in a low voice, "I've been waiting for this moment for you for a long time. I didn't sleep all night last night. God is so beautiful." Treat me well."

Jiang Xihe felt the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, and the next moment, Pei Zhizhao squeezed her hand tightly.

The warm sunshine shines on the side of his strong nose, with dark shadows mottled. The jade crown on his head reflects the light and exudes a little starlight. The corners of the man's mouth are upturned, and the ends of his eyes are slightly narrowed. His expression is full of tenderness.

Jiang Xihe still remembered the first time they met in court. This man had a stern look on his face and exuded a strong aura of keeping strangers away. Now, as he walked beside her, the most he said was to protect her in this life.

Jiang Xihe's heart was filled with happiness.

The two stepped outside the door. A dozen neighbors were so flustered that they pretended to be busy and all looked at Pei Zhizhao.

When she saw the two people holding hands, Aunt Zhao clapped her hands first, "That's great, haha, it seems that Mr. Pei came just now. The neighbors here want to thank Mr. Pei, so why don't you come over and join in the fun."

Everyone laughed in agreement, mouths closed, waiting to say congratulations.

Pei Zhizhao smiled and nodded, "Now let me tell you something. Xiaohe and I have made an engagement. The specific date will be announced to everyone after we have discussed it. At that time, we will also invite the neighbors to have a wedding drink. Pei would like to thank everyone here first. .”

News of Pei Zhizhao and Jiang Xihe's engagement soon spread throughout Ping'an County.

Just as Pei Zhizhao promised, he wanted to announce Jiang Xihe's engagement in a grand manner, letting everyone know that he liked her and was willing to marry her, and let those who had slandered her and hurt her know that she was worth it. Being loved deserves to be held in the palm of your hand.

······

Pei Zhizhao had been chatting with Jiang Xifeng in the morning. After lunch, he took Jiang Xihe to the Qingshui River.

The two of them walked slowly along the river and looked at the scenery. Jiang Xihe still couldn't believe that all this was true. She had been feeling dizzy since her brother came back yesterday. Until now, when Pei Zhizhao was holding her hand, it felt even more unreal to think that the two of them had already entered into an engagement.

She shook the hands they were holding and looked sideways at Pei Zhizhao. The joy in his eyes could not be hidden, "Master Pei, are you happy?"

Pei Zhizhao hummed, then asked, "What about you? Are you happy?"

Jiang Xihe nodded, "In addition to being happy, it's more like a dream." As he spoke, his little fingers scratched the palm of his hand, and the joy in his heart was self-evident.

Pei Zhizhao smiled slightly, "When do you want to set the wedding date?"

Jiang Xihe's heart tightened. It was unexpected that Pei Zhizhao came to propose marriage today. How could she have time to think about when to get married?

Pei Zhizhao said his plan, "Brother Jiang will be joining Beijing soon. I think he will not be able to let go of you, and I can't wait, so I want to do it as soon as possible."

Jiang Xihe blushed. When the two hugged each other most intimately, she could feel the painful and repressed emotions in Pei Zhizhao's heart, but...

Jiang Xihe stopped, faced Pei Zhizhao, and said slowly, "Sir, I know what's on your mind. After returning from Tongshan Mansion, it also became my worry."

Pei Zhizhao's eyes were heavy.

Jiang Xihe looked into the depths of his eyes. There was a young girl there, her eyes were crystal clear, and there were stars in them. Watching the sunrise on the top of the mountain that day, Jiang Xihe still remembered the pain when Pei Zhizhao told her heart.

"Sir, I want to help you find the murderer." Jiang Xihe clearly remembered that Pei Zhizhao's eyes were full of despair and sadness that day.

Pei Zhizhao looked at Jiang Xihe for a long time and held her tightly in his arms.

"Sir, there are many people watching." Jiang Xihe hit her chest and tried to get out of Pei Zhizhao's arms.

But his big, plier-like hands restrained her severely.

Pei Zhizhao said slowly, "It has been five years since the murder, Xiaohe, I can't promise you, that is our future." He buried his head in her neck, smelling the fragrance of her body, "I can't use us future in exchange for the truth.”

Jiang Xihe knew Pei Zhizhao's helplessness and comforted him, "Sir, let's give it a year, isn't it enough? This year we will try our best to find the truth. If there is no result by this time next year, we will get married."

Pei Zhizhao also knew that he couldn't get married in his current state. The past was like a big mountain weighing on his heart, but if he was asked to give up the past, he would be worse off than dead.

Pei Zhizhao's voice was choked with sobs, "Thank you, Xiaohe."

Jiang Xihe knew his pain. Sister Pei's murder made him breathless, and she wanted to help him bear the burden.

Jiang Xihe stopped struggling and leaned tightly against Pei Zhizhao's chest, listening to the firm and powerful heartbeat from his heart.

After a long while, Jiang Xihe asked angrily, "Master Pei, did you know that my brother was coming back yesterday? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Pei Zhizhao gently pushed her broken hair behind her ears and said softly, "The court newspaper said Jiang Xifeng, I guess it's almost the same, but if I told you yesterday, the waiting process would wear you out, I would take you to the tower , I also want to let you enjoy the surprise as soon as possible, without the torment in the middle. Besides, what if it’s not your brother? Aren’t we happy in vain? "

Why doesn't Jiang Xihe understand? Master Pei felt sorry for her, fearing that she would be disappointed too much after expecting for too long, so his thousands of words only turned into a word of thanks, and another sentence, "Master Pei, we will never be separated again in the future."
