Chapter 1024 I Don't Regret
Yao Jingning pushed Qiu Mao's head away without hesitation: "Rest, Your Majesty's leave is for you to recover your health earlier and go back to work earlier."

Qiu Mao didn't dare to force her, so he took a step back sullenly, watching Yao Jingning leave with his back supported, feeling lost.

He had never experienced this kind of worry and apprehension. When facing Lu Pingting, he knew early on that it was impossible for him to be with her, so he was at ease when it was sunny, even when it was raining, and he was calm and composed.

Facing Yao Jingning, knowing that she would be his wife, he treated her as a relative from the very beginning, tried his best to treat her well, liked her gentleness, kindness, ability and consideration, and enjoyed her care and tenderness, it was only natural and logical.

But now, he found that things were not that simple.

Yao Jingning is not an ordinary boudoir girl, she demands more and has more ideas, she cannot be satisfied by giving her enough food and clothing, expensive jewelry and a glorious status.

She said he didn't love her, so what is love?How can I satisfy her?

Because of Lu Pingting?No, she had a lot of praise for Lu Pingting, not jealousy.

Qiu Mao was melancholy and left with a heavy heart.

In the eyes of the servants, it is Lord Hou who is getting more and more serious, without his wife being kind and amiable, it is terrible.

Qiu Mao thought about it for a long time in the study, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of danger. He tried different ways to please the two children, lying on the ground and playing games with them.

Yao Jingning didn't stop her, and let him go.

His behavior greatly pleased the two children, and the siblings quickly fell in love with him. They knew everything and talked endlessly, even willing to share half of candy with him.

Qiu Mao was flattered and cherished this happiness even more. He held Zhong Yi in his arms and carefully took Xiao Yu's words: "Will your mother not want you?"

Xiaoyu said with certainty: "No. Even if Mommy doesn't want Daddy, she won't want us."

Hematemesis!Qiu Mao felt overwhelmed, forced a smile on his face: "What did you say, Aunt?"

Xiaoyu stuffed a candy into his mouth and acted like a baby: "I don't want to talk about it."

Qiu Mao's heart was heavy, and he felt that the eldest daughter of the traitor must know something, but no matter how tricky the question was, Xiao Yu refused to say a word.

He was afraid that Xiaoyu's going to Yao Jingning would leak the news, so he made several promises to seal his daughter's mouth.

Yao Jingning was flipping through the account books at home, and suddenly felt something strange behind her. Looking back, she saw Qiu Mao standing outside the window and staring at her, hesitant to speak.

She smiled: "what's the matter?"

Can't you come and see her if you have nothing to do?Qiu Mao walked in, wanting to strike up a conversation with her.

Yao Jingning had already lowered her head to make plans: "Is it because the servants are not serving well? Is your quilt thin? You just came back, so you should set up a few tables to invite relatives, friends and colleagues, and thank them for taking care of us. .Which day are you free? I'll make arrangements."

"It's not for these reasons." Qiu Mao took the abacus and clanged it.

"what is that?"

"there is nothing."

"Then you can do whatever you want, I have something to do." Yao Jingning heard that he was fine, and immediately withdrew her thoughts, concentrated on checking the accounts, and asked the steward: "Why is there an extra 100 taels of expenditure this month? Where did it go? "

Qiu Mao was left on the sidelines, feeling that there was nothing to love in an instant.

He couldn't say what was wrong with Yao Jingning, she took good care of him, the child, and the family, and basically responded to his requests, but he just felt that something was missing, which made people uneasy.

He decided to enter the palace to see the empress.

Zhong Weiwei listened patiently to what he said, and smiled: "It turns out to be like this."

Qiu Mao is easy to learn: "Please teach me, sister."

Zhong Weiwei said: "Don't be in a hurry." Turning around, he whispered a few words to Xiaotang, who gave Qiu Mao an ambiguous look, then turned and left.

Zhong Weiwei talked about the world, but the key to not explaining this matter to Qiu Miao.

When Qiu Mao was scratching his heart in anxiety, Xiaotang led Lu Pingting in.

Zhong Weiwei stopped and said with a smile: "You take her back."

Qiu Mao was taken aback: "What?"

Zhong Weiwei said lightly: "I knew you had love in the past. Although she can't be a concubine at this time and that time, she can stay by your side. I believe she will not harm you."

Lu Pingting lowered her head and said nothing.

Qiu Mao frowned and said, "Sister!"

Zhong Weiwei stopped him: "I'll give you a quarter of an hour. You think about it carefully, and then open your mouth after you think it over. If you refuse, I will marry her off. You don't have to worry about Aning, I will tell her that she will Yes."

Although sin slaves cannot be wives and concubines, Zhong Weiwei is a queen, as long as she opens her mouth, there is nothing she cannot do.

Lu Pingting trembled slightly, biting her lips tightly.

She knew that what she did that day was very risky, and if Yao Jingning couldn't stand the excitement, something big might happen.

No matter what her original intention was, it violated the empress' taboo.

Moreover, her life was given by the Empress Empress because of her soft heart. No matter whether the Empress Empress asked her to marry someone, or wanted to take her life, she could not refuse.

She held on to the last bit of hope, hoping that Qiu Mao would speak.

It has nothing to do with morality. A drowning person always hopes to catch everything around him, even if it is a straw.

Looking at Lu Pingting and remembering what Yao Jingning said, Qiu Mao thought a lot for a moment.

What is love?

Desperate to have each other, to be with each other.

Unless you are in a desperate situation, you will never let go of the opponent's hand.

Willing to sacrifice oneself to fulfill the other party, and only hope that the other party is well.

Therefore, he didn't inform Yao Jingning in advance, and gave her a will to remarry hastily afterwards, which was really heartbreaking.

Yao Jingning and Lu Pingting, who does he really love?
He quickly made up his mind, looked at Lu Pingting and said sincerely, "I'm sorry."

Lu Pingting closed her eyes and smiled wryly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Zhong Weiwei said: "It seems that you have made up your mind, then I will marry her, don't regret it afterwards, I will not allow you to regret it."

Qiu Mao said: "I don't regret it."

Zhong Weiwei signaled Xiaotang to take Lu Pingting down.

Qiu Mao asked, "Sister, why did you do this?"

Zhong Weiwei glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Let you see your heart clearly. Pity is not love, and responsibility is not love. You asked me what true love is, and you just understood."

Qiu Mao nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Zhong Weiwei suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't you ask me who I plan to marry Lu Pingting to? Are you afraid that I will clean her up and torment her?"

Qiu Mao shook his head: "Sister has a sense of propriety."

Although it was a bit cool, Lu Pingting was not his responsibility. Her life and his life were originally two parallel lines that did not intersect.

He had no intention of interfering, nor would he.

He wanted to go home and win Yao Jingning's love again.
