Madam, she is delicate and frail, and she must be pampered by the sinister prince.

Chapter 63: What’s the point of being embarrassed about acting coquettishly with your husband?
After Xie Chongxiao went to court, people from his family came running.

"Master Marquis, my wife has a fever and is very ill."

Xu Di was shocked. The man in official uniform had already left.

Xie Chongxiao frowned all the way and entered Nie Huating's room directly.

The woman had just laid down and her face was pale.

"What's going on?" He spoke sternly, and his heart tightened as he looked at her abnormally red face.

He was frightened when he was angry, so Ah Tang whispered: "The doctor said that my wife was caught in the rain yesterday and alternated between hot and cold, so she had a fever."

Xie Zhongxiao frowned, thinking about what happened last night and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Go to the palace and ask for a doctor."

Ah Tang: "Yes."

A normally lively woman can kill someone if she gets sick.

Nie Huating opened his eyes with difficulty and reached out his hand from the quilt to hold him.

Her voice was weak: "I'm just sick, why are you so anxious?"

The person who was usually so strong was so gentle when facing her right now.

Xie Zhongxiao held her hand instead.

After a pause: "I'm sorry."

I wonder if Nie Huating heard it wrong, but this voice... actually sounded aggrieved.

Rarely did he show such a fragile expression.

With so much happening in the past few days, Nie Huating knew that Xie Chongxiao was not as cold and heartless as they said.

He has always had feelings for the Jiang family.

And to her, he was even more benevolent and righteous.

The weak woman smiled and said, "Nothing, it doesn't matter."

"Xie Chongxiao, I'm with you."

Xie Zhongxiao's heart suddenly shrank when he saw her struggling to comfort him.

"Sleep, I'll watch over you."

"Ah."

Nie Huating was really tired and fell into a drowsy sleep.

She slept straight into the evening.

When she woke up, Xie Chongxiao was still beside her.

"Want something to eat?"

Nie Huating had some strength, and Xie Chongxiao let her lean on him and fed her bite by bite.

The porridge was hot and fragrant, but Nie Huating found it tasteless.

The man who was usually cold-faced held the woman in his arms motionless, and the maids around him did not dare to raise their eyes.

"Xie Chongxiao."

"Ah."

"You hugged me too tight." Nie Huating muttered in a low voice, "It makes me uncomfortable."

Nie Huating paused and looked up, "Have you never hugged another woman?"

Xie Zhongxiao frowned and said truthfully: "No."

"You have to hug me more often in the future," Nie Huating put his arms around his neck. "You will get used to it if you hug me too much."

Madam is usually cheerful and lively, but such a woman who can act mischievously cannot even be rejected by a cold-faced man like the Marquis.

"I'm sorry for what happened last night." Xie Zhongxiao rubbed her cheek, "It won't happen again in the future."

He is a man of his own words.

Ok?
How can that work? !
Nie Huating gained some strength and said, "No! The house still needs to be round!"

After saying this, her face turned a little red.

There is nothing embarrassing about acting coquettishly with your husband.

"..."

"I don't blame you." Nie Huating kissed his chin, "I like you."

Xie Zhongxiao's Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were filled with the gentle and carefree beautiful woman in front of him.

He was not like her, and he couldn't say such things.

Nie Huating hugged him and heard from above his head, "Drink the medicine and have a good rest."

Nie Huating didn't know why, so the man covered her with a quilt and stood up.

Nie Huating: "..."

The man with a dull face walked out of the door.He had not been used to being too close to others since he was a child, so he was not used to her sudden confession.

Xie Chongxiao came out of the door and stood outside for a while.

The figure hesitated, not knowing where to go.

He went too far last night. Did what she just said really please him, or she had to say it to comfort him.

The man's eyebrows were downcast.

"Xie Zhongxiao!"

She called him abruptly. Xie Zhongxiao raised his eyes and saw her running out wearing a quilt and saying angrily: "Why did you come out? Go back quickly!"

Nie Huating couldn't stand his awkward look: "I want you to go back with me!"

The two of them entered the house together.

"Don't ignore me when you are sad in the future." Nie Huating looked at him and said seriously, "If you have any unhappy things, don't keep it in your heart. I am your wife. You can tell me anything that cannot be told to outsiders." You can tell me, I'm afraid it would be too sad for you to bear all this alone."

She looked seriously into his eyes.

Xie Zhongxiao suddenly hugged her so tightly.

"I don't need you to do anything for me."

Just stay by his side.

I don't dare to get close, I'm just afraid that I will lose it at any time.

Nie Huating suddenly thought that not long after his last life, he could not wait for her to look back. She was living in a foreign country and he died in the battle.

At that time, the whole city of Luoyang already knew the secret that he was an illegitimate child.

As proud as he is, how can he bear other people's gossip.

Nie Huating sighed.

She still hadn't entered the deepest part of Xie Chongxiao's heart.

He only regarded her as a wife who needed protection, rather than a partner who could fight alongside him.

On the second day, Xie Chongxiao did not go to court and stayed with Nie Huating carefully at home.

After he watched him finish the porridge, Nie Huating begged: "My fever is gone and I want to go to the restaurant today."

"Like it there?"

"Ah."

It was the first place she managed carefully, how could she not like it.

"Wait another two days."

Nie Huating knew that he would not let her go, so she wrapped her arms around him and asked, "Aren't you going to go to court?" Then he said, "Hey, how can such laziness be the behavior of a wise minister?"

The man frowned and looked at her: "No nonsense."

"Then if others knew that you didn't go to court because I was sick and pestering you," Nie Huating blinked, "then wouldn't I become a beauty and a disaster?"

Xie Chongxiao's eyebrows were gentle: "No one will dare to say that to you in the future."

Nie Huating was still confused as to why Xie Chongxiao said this, until after lunch, the decree came from the palace.

It turned out that after this incident, the Holy Emperor had promoted Xie Chongxiao to the third rank of Huaihua General.

And because of Xie Chongxiao's contribution, even she was granted an exception.

"The Marquis of Changping, Mrs. Roujia Shushen, is specially given to the second-class county lady. I admire this."

When Nie Huating heard this decree, his heart skipped a beat.

"Ma'am, please!"

"Thank you Lord Ron."

After the eunuch left, Nie Huating looked at the imperial edict and was still a little surprised.

"It's that simple, I become the county's wife?"

She didn't do anything, she just got Xie Chongxiao's credit.

"Are you happy?"

"I'm so happy." Xie Chongxiao saw her eyes sparkling, and Nie Huating said, "Then the imperial court will give me a salary."

Xie Zhongxiao frowned, "Isn't the family's money enough?"

Nie Huating was startled and rushed to his side: "Enough is enough, enough is enough." It would be more than she could spend in ten lifetimes.

She hesitated: "Aren't you a corrupt official?"

"."

"You can't be greedy, well, at least you can't be too greedy." This will arouse the suspicion of the Holy Emperor. "Although my family has a lot of property, I can't spend it all." That's all Xie Chongxiao's money.

The man looked at her: "You can spend it if you want."

Nie Huating raised his head and said, "Will we move out of the princess mansion?"
