Old Mrs. Zhen raised her eyebrows knowingly, "I was negligent. You haven't eaten for so long since you came back. I'll let the servants take care of the food. You can wait a moment."

Does such a family have to personally order a meal from the host?

The old lady deliberately left space for Mingxiu and Xie Zhan.

Both parties are human beings, and they know many things in their minds, so there is no need to express them out loud.

"If someone from my tenant's house finds your parents, they will definitely bring them here as soon as possible. Don't you want to meet your parents as soon as possible?"

Want to?

Of course I thought so.

Seeing that Mingxiu was interested, Xie Zhan kept up his efforts, "It's not like I can't arrange for you to stay, but you are staying in the inn alone. If your parents knew about it, they would still say that I treated you badly. Do you want me to stay here?"

Did your parents leave the impression of being stingy and ungrateful?"

This was a bit serious, Mingxiu disagreed, "Obviously I want to stay in the inn."

She just didn't want to be restrained, so why did she change her taste when she fell into Xie Zhan's mouth?

"You yourself know this, but others don't."

For powerful people like them, reputation is a very important thing. Of course, the so-called reputation is not limited to romantic affairs, but more importantly, the rules by which they do things.

What Mingxiu is doing now is tantamount to telling others that although he is the regent, he does not have the virtues that match the regent.

Even though he doesn't care about the title of regent, for now, in his current position, he can only advance, not retreat.

If he takes even half a step back, not only himself, but also everyone around him may be shattered to pieces.

It is impossible for a person to live without someone he cares about.

Even if it was for the sake of his family, Xie Zhan would not be able to retreat.

Mingxiu pursed her lips slightly, she had to admit that Xie Zhan's words made sense.

But do you want to wrong yourself for the sake of Xie Zhan’s reputation?

She didn't know what to choose.

"...If you feel that there are more rules to live here, I can ask my grandmother to arrange for you the courtyard closest to the side door. Your access will not be restricted. There is no need for you to wrong yourself. You are my benefactor and the whole Zhen family.

My benefactor, even if you don’t understand the rules of the capital, at least no one among the Zhen family will laugh at you."

In the past two years, Mrs. Zhen's life has been difficult, which can be seen from the appearance of Mrs. Zhen.

If it weren't for his mother being favored in the palace, even the Zhen family might not be able to support him until he returns to the capital.

Mingxiu saved him, which meant saving the lives of the entire Zhen family.

At least among the Zhen family, only people would accommodate her, and she didn't need to go out of her way to accommodate others.

What's more, as long as Mingxiu doesn't do too much, it's okay to walk sideways among the Zhen family.

It has to be said that Xie Zhan knew Mingxiu very well, and his last words shattered the remaining hesitation in Mingxiu's heart.

"That's all I promise you. When I find my parents, I will find a place to stay with them as soon as possible. I won't trouble you for too long."

Xie Zhan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"Don't say anything you can arrange. I don't want this. The life-saving grace you mentioned and the many cares you have given in the past two years have been offset by the thousand taels of silver. If you talk about this again, it will be

You’re saying that I’m also trying to repay someone for my kindness.”

"Do you have to be so clear about your separation from me?" Xie Zhan was a little sad. In his opinion, he deserved to treat Mingxiu for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that Mingxiu rarely accepts his overtures. Only when he brings up the matter of saving his life, she will relax a little.

Of course, Xie Zhan also has his own dignity. Apart from convincing Mingxiu to accept his offer in front of Mingxiu, otherwise he rarely mentions this matter.

Now Mingxiu suddenly said that he could not mention this matter anymore, but Xie Zhan still felt a little uncomfortable.

"...don't you want to marry me? It's not a clear distinction, but I don't want you to marry me out of gratitude. This will make me feel that you and I are forced. I don't like this.

Feel."

It sounds very romantic to promise someone a life-saving favor, but Mingxiu doesn't want to do that.

In her heart, feelings are a very sacred thing, and there should be no other factors involved.

Just because he is who he is, that's all.

Xie Zhan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "So, you agree?"

All the way from the border town to the capital, the two of them never mentioned marriage or anything like that, but they just acted in an increasingly tacit understanding.

In fact, Xie Zhan already knew Mingxiu's meaning many times, but she never broke through the window paper. Xie Zhan was worried about gains and losses because he thought too much and did not dare to mention it without authorization.

Now that Mingxiu suddenly agreed, he was not surprised, but he was no less happy.

The focus seems not to be here, right?

Mingxiu was helpless, why did this man suddenly jump up.

Although she looked dumbfounded, Mingxiu's lips were still smiling.

It is said that there is a child in every man's heart, and it only shows up in front of the person they love the most.

Now looking at Xie Zhan like this, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

"That's right, but...do you really want to be the regent?"

Everyone said that gaining power would bring great benefits, but Mingxiu didn't think so.

Just look at Xie Zhan’s situation.

In the two years since she knew Xie Zhan, Mingxiu didn't know whether his status as regent had brought him any benefits, but it had brought him and the people around him a lot of trouble.

There are too many people who covet power, and Mingxiu is not an ambitious person. Rather than controlling the world, she wants to make a little money, eat and drink, and live comfortably.

There's nothing better than being at ease.

Some people may say that she is degenerate.

But if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?

Xie Zhan knew what kind of person Mingxiu was, she really didn't care about rights.

Even if he ascends to the throne of Nine-Five and thrusts the queen's throne in front of Mingxiu, she may not sit on it, and there is even a greater possibility that she will be scared away.

He always knew what she really wanted.

only……

He would try his best to fulfill most of her requests, but for this one, Xie Zhan really didn't know what to do.

He has no way out.

Unable to guarantee it, Xie Zhan thought for a while and said: "I will try my best. If there is a successor, I will step down and live a comfortable life with you in the countryside."

Although he had a lot of troubles and was framed and slandered during his days in Tubao Village, it was much more comfortable than having to worry all the time about whether someone was coming to take his life in the capital.

At least the folks in Tubao Village show their likes and dislikes on their faces, and Li Guangsheng's little moral character can be regarded as profound.
