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

Chapter 68: Even someone as cruel as Xie Zhongxiao cannot pass the beauty test
Zheng Siwei brought Nie Huating to a mansion, but neither of them brought any attendants.

Nie Huating caught a glimpse of the smile at the corner of his mouth and asked doubtfully, "Why is Mr. Zheng smiling?"

"I'm glad I didn't meet Madam Sin."

"Oh, am I that scary?"

Zheng Siwei said calmly: "Madam is indeed kind and frank, but the reputation of Changping Marquis Xie Chongxiao is unknown in the court."

The most ruthless person of the young generation has just liquidated a wealthy family for the Holy Emperor, and is deeply favored by the Holy Emperor.

Aside from his identity, Xie Chongxiao joined the military camp when he was a teenager and made great military exploits. He has only just begun to reach his current position.

Nie Huating: "Is he that scary?"

"Haha!" Zheng Siwei smiled but did not answer, "It seems that Madam and the Marquis have a very good relationship."

After all, no matter how cruel a man is, he can't pass the test of beauty.

Fortunately, he didn't ask Zheng Wuyi to marry him, otherwise he wouldn't have been treated in the same way.

Very good relationship?

Nie Huating was stunned for a moment, hiss, that's probably it.

Compared with before, when he always kept a cold face, Xie Zhongxiao was now able to lower his head and coax her.

The two of them entered Bei City together, and there was a lot of noise around them.

Zheng Siwei said, "Beijing City has two floors. Most people can come to this floor. If Madam wants to find out any news, she can come here."

He continued: "There is another layer, which is underground. It is very dirty there."

"dirty?"

"We sell everything," Zheng Siwei smiled, "but luckily, there are also cleaner things."

Nie Huating recalled the memories of his previous life for no reason, "Will you also sell young women?"

"Maybe." After all, some people have this hobby.

Nie Huating's expression remained unchanged and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ma'am, you don't seem surprised?"

“I’m surprised that there is such a place in Luoyang.”

"What's so surprising?" Nie Huating smiled, "These people don't make money from ordinary people, they only make money from rich people."

Zheng Siwei curled his lips: "Madam, you are open-minded. How many years am I older than you? Madam is really hard to pronounce when you call her. Why don't you tell me your name?"

"Names are taboo, so naturally they should be avoided." Nie Huating replied cleverly.

Zheng Siwei was stunned for a moment and did not ask any further questions.

Nie Huating doesn't think her name is very precious, but she is afraid that someone will lose his temper again if he finds out!

There wasn't much to see on the first floor of Bei City. After all, she didn't have any secrets to know yet.

"Can I go to the next floor and have a look?"

Zheng Siwei narrowed his eyes and said, "I can take you to try." He had never gone down.

The two wanted to go down together, but they were stopped at the steps!

Zheng Siwei said: "I am Zheng Siwei, the Minister of War. I wonder if you can do it for me and let me go down for a walk?"

Nie Huating looked at several fierce-looking doormen from the side.

With a status like Zheng Siwei's, why can't he even get in?
"No, you have never come to Bei City to buy anything. You must ask the owner for instructions!"

"Then where is your master now?"

"Master is not here today, please come back another day!"

Zheng Siwei pursed his lips, and the woman beside him said: "Mr. Zheng, if it doesn't work, let's forget it today and let's go!"

Such a light and waxy voice was extremely out of place here. The doorman glanced at the slender woman aside and was shocked at just one glance.

"It turns out," several people said respectfully in an instant, "Madam, you can travel unimpeded in Bei City!" When these words came out, Zheng Siwei and Nie Huating were both surprised.

What do you mean?
"You mean, I can go in?"

"Yes, madam!" The man agreed quickly, fearing that it would be a little late, "I was just a villain who couldn't see the mountain, please forgive me!"

With that said, the door to the next floor was already opened.

There was no light inside, and there were candles everywhere. Even so, it was still extremely dim.

Zheng Siwei smiled and said, "It seems that I will still benefit from you today."

Nie Huating smiled sheepishly.

If others didn't know, they would think she was some important person.

But this is her first time here.

Could it be that they recognized the wrong person?
The underground venue is also very large, and it is more lively than the one above.

Nie Huating was well prepared before he came, thinking that there would be shady deals here, but now it seems that there is a bottom line.

Who is the person behind this North City?
Really curious.

"Selling things is very common," Nie Huating wondered. "Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, and even slave beauties can be seen everywhere. Why is this place so mysterious?"

Zheng Siwei replied: "No matter how good a pawnshop is, you can't find the treasures on the pillow of the Holy Emperor, and no matter how good a person you are, you can't find the beauties who were famous in Luoyang from the previous dynasty."

"Master Zheng knows so much about it, he seems to be a frequent visitor."

"Madam, you are joking." Zheng Siwei lowered his eyes, "I was married before, and I married the daughter of the Gu family, who is now the queen's niece. Unfortunately, she died of illness last year and did not leave me a son and a half. The affairs of the court are getting more and more complicated. If there were too many, I had no time to worry about my family, so I simply didn’t marry again.”

Although the Zheng family is a wealthy family, he and his sister Wuyi are the only direct descendants.

If he has no children in the future, he will have to raise one from his side.

Nie Huating looked at him: "Master Zheng is so concerned about the country and the people that he can even leave his wife and children."

Zheng Siwei said meaningfully: "As a man, broadening the territory and building a career is the first priority in the world. Having a group of wives and concubines and having descendants around your knees is just the icing on the cake. A real man must know how to choose."

How can the joy of men and women and the love of flesh and blood be as good as leaving a mark in history?

Nie Huating's heart was touched and could not calm down for a long time.

Zheng Siwei seemed to be able to understand his thoughts: "But madam, there is no need to take it to heart. How can an average man leave his wife and children?"

Unless there is a higher power.

"Why should I take it to heart?" the woman said with a smile, "It is good if a husband and wife share the same love, but if one day we are separated from each other, then it must be that I have left him and he has left me. Enjoy the mountains and play with the water.”

Hearing this answer, Zheng Siwei paused.

He didn't expect that such a young woman would have such a big heart.

He underestimated her.

"Beijing's jewelry is very famous, why don't you bring some with me, Madam?"

Nie Huating shook his head: "I don't love those pearls."

Zheng Siwei looked at the jade hairpin on her head and said, "This jade hairpin of yours is quite valuable."

Nie Huating was slightly startled, "You mean this?"

Zheng Siwei nodded, "I remember that this was the jade that was paid tribute by foreign countries last year. It is not available to ordinary ministers. I didn't expect that you would wear it on your head."

"Is it so expensive?"

"At that time, the four bureaus in the palace made two jade hairpins, and the other one was taken away by the Holy One." It should have been awarded to the Queen.

Nie Huating sighed deeply.

They had just gotten married at that time, and they had never even spoken to each other before, yet they gave her such a precious thing.

Could it be that Xie Chongxiao liked her before?
