Jing Heng didn't know that he had become what Qin Shan called a "superficial person". He changed his previous reluctance and went to the household department on time every morning to do the lighting and didn't come back until nightfall.

However, after clicking, he went to the Ministry of Punishment and used his identity to find out the criminal laws of past dynasties. Due to his identity, people in the Ministry of Punishment would probably turn a blind eye as long as they didn't see what they shouldn't see or take what they shouldn't take.

Close your eyes and watch him.

Princess Protector didn't know that he stayed in the Ministry of Justice all day long. Seeing that he was busier than anyone else when he left early and came home late every day, she thought he had made progress, so she was quite surprised.

One day after mother and son had dinner, she stopped Jing Heng who was about to go back to his room to read, and asked with interest: "What did you and Xiaoxiao talk about that afternoon?"

Jing Heng looked at her in surprise, and his tone was a little stiff: "Just a casual chat, nothing special."

He never discussed his personal affairs with Princess Protector, and Princess Protector never asked too much. Today Princess Protector was uncharacteristically unaccustomed to him.

"No? I thought the little girl couldn't stand the way you were doing nothing, so I advised you to work hard and make progress." Princess Protector said half seriously and half teasingly.

"You're thinking too much!" Jing Heng, at his young age, was not willing to admit that his actions would be influenced by a little girl, so he retorted to Princess Protector in a straightforward manner.

Princess Protector did not expose his lie, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Xiaoxiao is not in the capital, and I didn't know that you were getting better. In order to dispel the little girl's worries, I talked to her a lot that day. It turns out that she didn't talk to you in private either."

Are you talking about marriage?"

At this point, she seemed puzzled, and then frowned: "Does this little girl have her own agenda and look down on you?"

Jing Heng was startled, his expression no longer calm: "What worries does she have?"

He came back late that day, so he didn't know that the two of them had discussed what he was most concerned about. After that, Qin Xiaoxiao was focused on the household marriage law and did not give him a definite answer. At this time, the words of Princess Protector made him mistakenly think that Qin Xiaoxiao was

Xiaoxiao was worried, so she refused to accept his wishes.

"It seems that you have really come to your senses!" Princess Protector smiled and looked at her son with a look of relief: "If you delay it for another year and a half, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but ask your uncle to grant you a marriage.

Already."

Jing Heng reacted and his face turned dark: "You defrauded me?"

Princess Protector was speechless: "I was afraid that you would be slow and let my daughter-in-law run away, so I had a chat with the little girl, only to find out that you had already attacked her. Don't blame me for being nosy, you are so timid.

Look, when can I have my wife’s tea?”

Jing Heng had nothing to do with being timid. He retorted mercilessly: "It doesn't matter if you go straight to her, you also don't know when she will serve your wife tea."

Having said that, he did not resent Princess Protector's interference in his heart. Although the obstruction from others would not shake his determination to marry Qin Xiaoxiao, with the support of Princess Protector, things would go more smoothly, which was ultimately a good thing.

Princess Protector saw that he was not thinking what he meant, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Okay, you can spend more time on Xiaoxiao. It's never too late for me to drink my wife's tea."

Jingheng was not used to discussing such matters with her, so he awkwardly raised his hands and left quickly.

Looking at his handsome back, a smile appeared on Princess Protector's lips unconsciously.

She didn't look away until she couldn't see her anymore. She got up and went to the back house to visit her bedridden grandma. She told her about having a daughter-in-law soon to make her happy.

After returning from the capital, Qin Xiaoxiao became even busier. Fortunately, it was not the busy farming season, and she did not need to do housework. She could focus all her energy on how to modify the household marriage law.

If that pedantic person knew her thoughts, he would first scold her for being "treasonous" and then ridicule her for being "whimsical". But Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care, as long as her wish came true, it would be worth the infamy and ridicule she endured.

The Qin family knew nothing about this and did not notice her subtle changes. They were secretly happy to find a suitable son-in-law and decided to take their daughter (granddaughter) to see the son-in-law they had chosen.

.

That night, Lin Qiuniang knocked on her daughter's door and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, let's put this book away for now. Tomorrow you can accompany me and your grandma for a walk in the city."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought it was really just shopping, so she agreed without thinking too much: "Okay."

Lin Qiuniang smiled and looked at her daughter with particularly soft eyes: "Wear brighter clothes tomorrow and put on some lipstick and powder. At such a young age like you, you should dress up more."

Qin Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Mom, you didn't like the girls in my school city wearing makeup and powder before, and you said I was good-looking and looked good in a sack? Why did you suddenly ask me to dress up today?"

Lin Qiuniang patted her gently and said angrily: "Are you weird, mother, for not allowing you to dress up before? Mother did this for your own good. Your appearance is already outstanding, and you didn't have hair extensions at that time. You put on makeup and powder at a young age.

, can those tongue-tied women in the village let you go?"

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "Mom, I understand."

There are indeed a few women in the village who like the boss of the Li family the most. It is probably because their husbands are not good and their children are unfilial, and they seem to hate the kindness of others.

Seeing that someone else's young daughter-in-law has a good figure, she secretly scolds her for being a coquettish woman who won't keep her peace and will let grass grow on her man's head sooner or later.

One time, someone believed their lies and really thought that his wife was hooking up with a wild man behind his back. When he got back, he beat his wife to a bloody head and almost forced her to commit suicide by jumping into a lake.

"We have agreed on this matter. You should go to bed early tonight so as not to lose energy tomorrow..." Lin Qiuniang pinched her daughter's tender face and warned her carefully.

"Hmm, I will go to bed early. You should go back to your room and rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow." Qin Xiaoxiao obediently agreed and sent her nagging mother out.

The next day, Qin Xiaoxiao got up early and wore a pomegranate-colored floral silk dress according to Lin Qiuniang's instructions.

She originally wanted to apply some powder on her face, but she thought the scent was too strong and it was useless. She just dipped a little lipstick on her finger and dabbed it on her mouth, which really made her complexion look brighter.

After she finished cleaning up, opened the door and came out, the Qin family waiting in the main hall looked up and thought her dress was very good, so they kept nodding.

As usual, it was Qin Shan who drove the carriage. Qin Xiaoxiao first helped her grandma and mother onto the carriage, then lifted up her skirt to get on the carriage. By chance, the door next door opened and Xue Ya walked out with a vegetable basket on her arm.

Knowing that they were going to the city to go shopping, Xue Ya's expression became a little strange. She pulled Qin Xiaoxiao aside and asked, "Are you going to the city to meet a man?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked confused and shook his head hurriedly: "Where is this, don't talk nonsense."

Xueya made a "cut" sound and said disdainfully: "On a hot day when others are forced to stay at home and not go out, do you really believe that grandma and aunt ask you to go shopping with them? Are you stupid?"

Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."

It seems strange to go shopping in the dog days of summer.

"Okay, you go quickly. Remember to talk to me after you finish reading." Xueya looked at her stupidity impatiently, waved her hand and carried the vegetable basket to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and turned around to get on the carriage.

"What's wrong, what did Xueya tell you?" Seeing that her daughter was not in a good mood, Lin Qiuniang thought her niece had said something unpleasant, so she asked.

"It's nothing. She asked me to bring a gadget and she didn't give me any money." Qin Xiaoxiao found an excuse to put it off. She didn't want to ask them if they wanted to take her to the city to see her, lest they blame their cousin.

Talkative.

"Girl, when did you become so stingy?" Lin Qiuniang believed her story and said, dumbfounded: "Don't worry, your cousin will be strong-tempered and won't owe anyone anything, so she will give you money."

Of course Qin Xiaoxiao knew that and could only laugh together.

"Speaking of it, the tenth day of next month is the day when your uncle's family will make a decision for An An's family. I don't know when our family can make a decision for you." Lin Qiuniang looked at her daughter with a smile and said with deep meaning.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt a sudden change in her heart and immediately expressed her attitude: "Mom, Sister Xueya won't talk about marriage until she is eighteen years old. I just got hairpins, so I'm not in a hurry."

Lin Qiuniang glared at her: "You are not in a hurry, I am. While your father and I are strong, you can get married early and we can help raise the children."

Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless and choked: "Mom, you and dad are less than forty and one is just forty. You are still young. There is no need to rush to raise your grandson, really."

Before Lin Qiuniang could speak, Mrs. Miao said leisurely: "Then your grandfather and I are also in a hurry to take care of our great-grandson?"

Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."

At this moment, she was really tired. She was almost certain that she was tricked by her grandmother and mother into going to the city to see each other. No, her grandfather and father were also "accomplices". They must have discussed it long ago.

"Xiaoxiao, are you... not willing to recruit a wife?" Lin Qiuniang saw some signs, and began to feel uneasy. She tried to maintain a calm expression: "Tell the truth to mother, mother will not blame you, and our family is not bad.

I can’t force you to recruit a wife.”

When Mrs. Miao heard this, she looked at her granddaughter in surprise: "Smile. Is what your mother said true?"

When things got to this point, Qin Xiaoxiao simply opened up and said: "Grandma, mother, it's not that I don't want to have a wife, it's just that there are some things that I haven't figured out yet, and I have no intention of seeing each other for the time being."

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qiuniang couldn't help but ask: "What is it that you can't figure out, and it can still affect you to see each other?" After the words fell, she realized something again, and stared at her daughter closely: "Do you have a crush?

Are you here?"

Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hands hurriedly: "No, I don't."

After saying that, she glanced at the car door and whispered: "I, I will tell you the truth, but you can't let dad know about this, you have to hide it."

Based on his father's violent and impulsive personality, if he knew that Brother Li had thoughts about her, he might have thought that Brother Li was insidious, seduced his innocent and innocent daughter, and then went to the capital to settle the score with Brother Li.

Anyway, it was right to hide it from him first.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and suddenly realized that what their daughter (granddaughter) said was not a trivial matter.

Lin Qiuniang wiped the hot sweat on her forehead and whispered in the same voice: "Just tell me, I won't tell your father."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, and with a hint of shyness, she told Jingheng's feelings to her and what she was still considering.

Finally, looking at her grandma and mother, whose expressions had not changed much, she became puzzled and asked, "Grandma, mother, aren't you surprised?"

Lin Qiuniang looked at her daughter and didn't know what expression to make: "What a surprise. You two grew up together. Mr. Jing has noticed your mother. It's not surprising that he has an idea."

She also thought that it would be nice if his status was not so valuable, so that she might be able to get married... Now, she didn't have to think about it in her mind, but how could Mr. Jing become her son-in-law?

"Xiaoxiao, you and Young Master Jing should let it go beforehand. You'd better listen to our arrangements and see who we choose for you." Mrs. Miao pondered for a moment, but she still felt that the son they carefully selected for her granddaughter was more reliable.

Spectrum.

"Grandma, I understand what you mean. It's just that Brother Li hasn't said anything yet. It's not good for me to see someone else here." Qin Xiaoxiao had a headache. He was afraid that Jingheng would be sad if he knew about it, but he didn't want to.

I can't bear to let down my loved ones.

"Xiaoxiao, you have to listen to your grandma on this matter." Lin Qiuniang strongly agreed with her mother-in-law's proposal and began to persuade her daughter: "Just take a look, you will see the best, and it doesn't matter if you don't see it. Between you and Young Master Jing,

Before the matter is settled, my family will not force you to see each other again."
