Su Jin still had something to say to Xiao Zhen alone.

After dinner, Archer took his sister to the small garden for a walk and digest food. Su Jin poured Xiao Zhen a bowl of tea, then sat opposite Xiao Zhen and looked at him silently. Xiao Zhen was waiting for her to speak, but he glanced over in confusion, but saw Su Jin's face was complicated, holding a handkerchief in his little hand, as if he had a hidden secret.

Xiao Zhen lowered his eyes and said, "Do you have any difficulties with your brother and sister?"

Su Jin has no difficulties, she just feels sorry for Xiao Zhen.

She lowered her head and asked softly: "Mr. Marquis, has Feng Shi told you about my childhood? For example, my family background."

Xiao Zhen was surprised that she would ask this. Seeing Su Jin lowering his head, he mustered up the courage to look at her and said, "I said something."

Su Jin smiled bitterly and said to the ground: "As for me, people who like me praise me for being brave and not afraid of others' words, and those who hate me call me shameless. Anyway, I'm here. Now I want to win a clean and good reputation, it's a dream, so I don't just feel wronged, and I will live it anyway."

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but blame himself. When he met that year, he felt that Su Jin was shameless. But after being together for a long time, he became familiar with Su Jin's character. Xiao Zhen knew that Su Jin just lived too real, not afraid of anyone, and would not stop doing business because of gossip. But when conditions permit, Su Jin was also very reasonable and knew how to make life better and lose unnecessary infamy.

Su Jin's eyes fell on the shoes under Xiao Zhen's robe and said quietly: "My heart for the marquis has not changed since I said it. This time, the marquis came up with a way to get married in order to protect the three of us. Although it is fake, I am very happy to marry the marquis."

Xiao Zhen was so hot, she always spoke so boldly.

"The Marquis has taken care of me as a younger brother and sister for so many years. Perhaps in the eyes of others, we are the elder uncle and younger brother and sister. Once the news of your marriage is spread, it will inevitably cause new criticism. Let's put it this way, I will not marry the Marquis, Shen Furuo comes to pester me, I hide in the inner house and don't go out. I can't hear how outsiders laugh at me as a maid and serve me as a servant. What's uncomfortable is Archer who has to go out. When his adoptive father dies, he will refuse to recognize him, and he is afraid that he will be criticized for being unfilial. But if I marry the Marquis, you will become Archer's legitimate father. It is understandable that Archer doesn't recognize Shen Fu."

Xiao Zhen nodded thoughtfully. It was true. The adopted son recognized him and stopped him as soon as he said that, but his stepson was a member of the family recognized by the law.

Su Jin slowly raised his head, looked at Xiao Zhen's eyes and said, "Marrying the Marquis, Archer has less burden, but you and I will bear the biggest criticism. They will say that I seduce people, and will laugh at the Marquis for being hypocritical. When he said that he treated me as a younger brother and sister, he finally became a traitor. Marquis, I have lived in rumors since I was a child. I am not afraid of being tickled when I have too many lice, but you are a hero with a pure and honest fortune. Are you really not afraid of being implicated by me?"

Xiao Zhen's expression changed slightly. Yesterday he just wanted to solve her problems, but he didn't think so much about it.

Su Jin came to talk to him after a night of careful consideration. When Su Jin exhaled, he said in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "Mr. Marquis, people's words are terrifying. I won't blame you if you regret marrying me. I'm just afraid that you will agree now. In the future, you will be pointed at the backbone and say it all over the place. Marquis is physically and mentally tormented. Marquis values ​​love and friendship. If I make you feel unwilling to live, then I will definitely leave. Instead of being scolded and separated, we should not get married from the beginning."

If Xiao Zhen cannot take rumors as a warning, the two will definitely become resentful couples after marriage, so why both of them?

Su Jin would rather marry someone she didn't like, than make Xiao Zhen tangled for the rest of his life.

The little woman looked like she was thinking about him, but Xiao Zhen didn't appreciate it and said coldly: "I, Xiao Zhen, only want to be ashamed of the conscience of heaven and earth. I promised that Feng Shi would take care of you three mothers. In my eyes, you three mothers are the most important. As long as I protect you well, I, Xiao Zhen, will not live in vain. What do others have to do with me? They said behind my back, "I don't care. Who dares to talk too much in front of me? I can't beat him with one punch."

This is too cruel and crazy, Su Jin wants to laugh and is confused.

Xiao Zhen cares so much about the three of them, how much is it because of Feng Shi's self-sacrifice and how much is it because of her?

Su Jin also left his seat and asked him the last question: "The Marquis is not afraid of criticism, nor does he care that the position of his wife is occupied by me? In the future, the Marquis may meet a woman who makes you fall in love with. What should you do then? Are you willing to let her be wronged and follow you namelessly?"

Xiao Zhen rolled his throat and lowered his eyes and said, "I won't like anyone anymore."

She already has her in her heart. Even if there is another unmarried girl who is as beautiful, fierce, independent and self-reliant as Su Jin, Xiao Zhen will not want it.

After saying this, Xiao Zhen left with great strides, without looking at Su Jin, nor giving Su Jin a chance to persuade him.

In order to show Su Jin his determination, the next day, Xiao Zhen asked Xu Wen to invite a matchmaker to come to Su's house to propose marriage.

Thinking of Xiao Zhen's righteous appearance, Su Jin responded in a complicated mood.

Shortly after the matchmaker left, a man who claimed to be in charge of the Shen family brought a basket of purple grapes. The grapes were full and Shui Lingling looked like they had just picked them. The concierge handed the grapes to Ruyi. Ruyi already understood the master's intentions. She was afraid that the lady would greedy for grapes, so Ruyi put a basket of grapes in the front yard first and took the letters sent with the grapes to see Su Jin.

Su Jin was explaining to her daughter that she was going to get married with her godfather. When Aman heard that she could live with her godfather in the future, she was so happy that she wanted her mother to take her to marry her now. She didn't understand any of the worries of her mother, godfather and brother.

"Madam." Ruyi handed the envelope to Su Jin.

On the yellow-brown envelope, a pavilion was outlined with only a few strokes.

Su Jin spat in his heart. Shen Fu is worthy of being a scholar, and he can do it with romance and moon at will.

Relying on his daughter's disbelief, Su Jinjing pulled open the envelope and took out a thin piece of letter paper.

Jinniang Loves to Know:

When I parted at dusk on the seventh day of the lunar month, I suddenly felt like I was like the year. When I reported things in the court, I missed you when I wrote a note and missed you when I wrote annotations. I missed you deeply.

Last night I dreamed of returning to Yangzhou and saw you trying to pick grapes in Sun's home. I said I to stop you. You were so angry that you didn't pay attention to me for three days.

Therefore, I found a basket of grapes to calm Jinniang's anger.

Signature, Shen Yunting.

After reading this letter, Su Jin was in a daze for a moment. At that time, she was poor and Shen Fu had no money. Once, the two of them went to the mountains to play. Halfway through a vineyard, there were bunches of purple grapes hanging on the green vines, which made her drool. Su Jin wanted to sneak in and pick a bunch of craving to satisfy her cravings, and rolled up her sleeves to get into the fence. Shen Fu forced her to hug her and refused to let her go, and finally wanted to drag her away.

Su Jin was so angry that he stopped picking the grapes and went out of the mountains. He pushed Shen Fu away and returned home without looking back. Then he ignored Shen Fu for three days, so anxious that Shen Fu got a bunch of grapes from somewhere before coaxing her.

The past events, reminded by Chen Fu, actually floated up clearly.

"Mom, what's written on it?" Aman suddenly came over and stared at the letter paper.

Su Jin came back to his senses and smiled and said, "Ruyi bought grapes and kept them in the front yard. Let's go and eat them."

Aman was happy and immediately ran to the bed and asked Ruyi to put on her shoes.

Ruyi led Aman away. Su Jin read the letter again, then found paper and pen and wrote a reply to Chen Fu:

"Yuanting, when I was fourteen years old, you asked me if I would marry you as my wife. I said I would. Under the peach blossom tree in spring, you said you would be responsible, and I believe you, but in the end, I only waited for you ten taels of silver, and I was happy with each other. I was very angry, but I like silver more. After you left, I have complained about you for so many years. Later, my life got better and better, and I completely forgot about you and never thought that I would meet again.

Now you are the chief minister and are willing to marry me as a widow. I believe you still have feelings for me, but I already have someone else who I like. Today he asked the matchmaker to propose marriage to me, and I have agreed. You have forgotten me. Why not marry another virtuous wife as soon as possible?

As for Archer, when he was three years old, Archer was teased by neighbors, saying that he was my bastard and a man from outside, and forced him to refuse to go out easily. After Feng Shi died, Archer gradually came out of guilt. Archer was not easy all the way. He said that he only recognized Feng Shi, a father, you are all scholars, and you know more integrity than me. If you really treat Archer as your son, please look at him from afar and don't force him to recognize you."

After writing the last word, Su Jin sighed, hoping that Chen Fu would not bother Archer.

She stuffed the letter into the envelope that Chen Fu. In the evening, Agui came back and Su Jin asked Agui to send it to him in person, but she was worried about others.

Agui immediately went to Chen Mansion and the Chief Auxiliary's house. You will know after a little inquiry.

Just looking at the envelope, Chen Fu frowned, almost thinking that Su Jin had returned it without even looking at it. Fortunately, the letter paper inside was different.

However, after Chen Fu finished reading what Su Jinxin said, the man's tall eyebrows were wrinkled deeper than being rejected.

In just three short passages, Chen Fu felt mixed feelings. First, he felt guilty about abandoning Su Jin, and then was shocked and angry because Su Jin wanted to marry someone else. But when Su Jin mentioned Archer, his anger was extinguished by regret. The wild breeder, his son was always scolded by the neighbors as a wild breeder, and even scolded Archer for not daring to go out?

Archer's little face that was forgiving and pale appeared in his mind, and Chen Fu couldn't help but clench the letter.

He knew that he was sorry for Su Jin and his son, but Chen Fu knew even more that if Su Jin really married someone else, he would never get the forgiveness of Su Jin and his son in his life.

"Lu Jun." Chen Fu put away the crumpled letter paper and shouted outside the door.

His Changsui Lu Jun immediately walked in.

Chen Fu whispered: "I went to the matchmaker today in the Su Mansion. I should walk around again in a few days. Go and check who the person who proposed the marriage is."

Lu Jun took the order.

Chen Fu actually had a guess in his mind that the only outstanding man around Su Jin in recent years is Xiao Zhen.

The next morning court, Chen Fu secretly observed Xiao Zhen. Seeing that Xiao’s face was as deep as water, he did not feel proud of the beauty returning home. Chen Fu was not sure again.

But besides Xiao Zhen, who else would Su Jin like?

Not long after, the matchmaker Xiao Zhen invited to go to the temple to finish his horoscope and came to Su Jin again to discuss the date of the two families' small decision, and then officially agreed on the marriage.

Su Jin wanted Xiao Zhen to make decisions so that she would not make a decision too early. Xiao Zhen thought she was too anxious to marry, and the matchmaker was also prepared. He smiled and said, "I asked the Marquis before I came. The Marquis said that he listened to you. I said that this kind of thing is usually handled by the woman's parents for her daughter. How can you make your own life? The Marquis said, if you can't make up your mind, the sooner the better."

Su Jin loved to listen and pretended to be reserved and said, "I'll listen to the Marquis."

The matchmaker understood, said goodbye with a smile, and then went to the Hou Mansion to inform Xiao Zhen of Xiao Ding, and reminded Xiao Zhen to prepare a small predecessor as soon as possible.

Lu Jun, who followed along the way, witnessed the matchmaker stepping into the Marquis's mansion with his own eyes and hurried back to report to his master.

When Chen Fu heard this, his beautiful face suddenly turned black.

What a good Xiao Zhen. Everyone says that he is upright and has no scheming. But according to Chen Fu, Xiao Zhen’s scheming is deeper than anyone else!

After anger, Chen Fu pressed the table with his index finger, buckled it a few times, and suddenly laughed.

He wanted to see how sincere Xiao Zhen was to Su Jin.
