Xie Jiajia had a good appetite at first, but after taking two bites, she found that Xuan Ming was looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly she couldn't eat anymore, and she felt a bit embarrassed in her heart.

She dressed up specially. Is it too deliberate?
They both pinched it a few times and then put their chopsticks down one after another.

Xuan Ming looked at Xie Jiajia, a little nervous.

He had never been so nervous when dealing with barbarians in the Western Territory before, when life and death were on the line.

Xie Jiajia was embarrassed for only three and a half seconds, not even one more second.

She looked at Xuan Ming leisurely, smiling slightly, as if she was appreciating his nervousness.

Xuan Ming took a deep breath: "Don't look at me like this, it makes me very uncomfortable."

"Oh."

Xie Jiajia chuckled lightly, holding her chin with one hand to support her chin, shaking the fan lightly with the other hand, and moved her gaze to the river outside the window.

Xuan Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sorted out his manuscript.

After a while, just when Xuan Ming had collected his thoughts and was about to speak, Xie Jiajia suddenly said, "I'm inviting you to dinner today because I have something to tell you."

Xuan Ming was startled.

Xie Jiajia turned to Shasha and said, "Take Yueyue to the bow of the boat to play, be careful."

"Yes."

Shasha picked up Yueya, retreated with Fu Ma, and closed the door for Xuanming and Xie Jiajia.

Xie Jiajia sat upright, holding the fan in both hands and looking at Xuan Ming. This time, the smile on her face had faded, the teasing and teasing in her eyes was gone, and even the usual laziness was gone.

Her expression was very serious, "My child is not Su Xiangyang's."

Xuan Ming was stunned.

Xie Jiajia took a breath and added: "Yueya is not Su Xiangyang's child...Su Xiangyang is the husband I divorced before."

"Crescent Moon was born to me... and Lu Hanqiu."

Compared with the previous dynasty, the folk customs of this dynasty are actually quite open.

But the requirements for women are still very demanding.

Xie Jiajia knew that her situation was simply a sign of bad moral conduct and unruly conduct in today's world.

Any words that demean a woman can be used against her.

If she was not the daughter of Duke Liang and had a strong backer, but was born in a remote village, she could even be dragged into a pig pen.

In fact, she could have said nothing, pretended to be dumb and let the situation develop, and even coaxed Xuan Ming into marrying her.

She knew that Xuan Ming had a crush on her and that the old lady liked her again.

If she takes the initiative, she has at least a [-]% chance of accomplishing something.

It's just that she has lived two lives, and she has lived a thousand sails. She knows that fire cannot be contained in paper, and deception will never last long, so she chooses to confess.

The truth is the truth, and it is the past that cannot be erased.

Xie Jiajia looked at Xuan Ming, her face calm and calm, but her fingers holding the handle of the fan could not help but use a little force. She was actually nervous at this moment.

She is not ashamed of her past.

But because I have a good impression of him, I will care about how he views his past.

Xie Jiajia thought.

How would Xuan Ming react?

Are you shocked and disbelieving, or are you just like Lu Hanqiu before, classifying her as a wild and bold woman and immediately avoiding her?

But Xuan Ming was very calm.

Except when she mentioned it at first, Xuan Ming seemed a little surprised, and then he was calm... not normal.

Xuan Ming slowly said: "I know this." Xie Jiajia: "..."

After a long silence, she asked: "Where did you know?"

Xuan Ming said: "The man surnamed Dou told me when I was being tortured in the Ministry of Punishment."

"The person named Dou was probably trying to break down my psychological defenses and get me to let go, forcing him to extract the confession he wanted."

Xie Jiajia's calmness seemed to dispel the tension in Xuan Ming's heart.

He lowered his eyes for a moment and then looked at Xie Jiajia, "I didn't believe it at first, but then I thought of many details..."

"After I came back from Jizhou last winter, Lu Hanqiu's hostility towards me was very obvious. He always stared at you and advised me to stay away from you."

"I then realized that what the man surnamed Dou said might be somewhat true."

"I don't know what happened between you and Lu Hanqiu, and why you turned around and married Su Xiangyang."

"But I have read some of the books you wrote. No matter how tortuous the process is, you always end up happily reunited with Meimei."

"I have also seen how patiently you take care of my mother and children."

"I think you are a bright and warm woman, and you are by no means an indiscreet person."

At that time, the man named Dou spoke very unpleasantly.

The moment he suddenly heard it, he was tortured again, and Xuan Ming almost collapsed.

However, he has known Xie Jiajia for a long time and has learned so much about her. She is obviously a lazy and lively woman who likes to eat and drink, is happy, and occasionally jokes.

If she really has a relationship with Lu Hanqiu, it is definitely Lu Hanqiu's problem.

Lu Hanqiu is a good prison officer, but he is by no means a good person.

Xuan Ming knows this very well.

After he came out of the Criminal Department, he even wanted to teach Lu Hanqiu a lesson, but he didn't in the end.

That was Xie Jiajia’s past.

Some of the scars were covered with blood and flesh. He could not make his own decisions, touch those things without permission, and spread the blood and flesh on the open surface to be exposed to the sun and wind and rain.

Xie Jiajia stared at Xuan Ming blankly, her heart beating rapidly because of Xuan Ming's words.

Xuan Ming stood up and walked over to Xie Jiajia, squatted down, took out a hairpin embedded with South Sea glaze gold beads from his sleeve pocket, and awkwardly inserted it into Xie Jiajia's bun.

When his hand slid down, Xuanming's fingertips curled up slightly, hesitating for a moment, and finally fell on Xie Jiajia's hand holding the fan, and squeezed it gently, "Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Xie Jiajia pursed her lips lightly: "If you leave Beijing, will your career be affected?"

Xuan Ming shook his head: "A military general staying in the court is like breaking his arms and removing his weapons. Military power and military merit are the foundation of a military general's footing."

"If I hadn't followed His Highness back to Beijing to deal with things, I should have been stationed in the Western Territory. But this time, with you, I will not go to such a remote place as the Western Territory."

Xie Jiajia looked at him for a moment, hooked her fingers with Xuan Ming's, curled her lips and said, "What's 'this time you have me'? What's the point of having me? You didn't say anything! I didn't agree to anything either."

Xuan Ming was startled for a moment, and his eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them.

Xie Jiajia even used the tip of her little finger to rub the thick callus on Xuan Ming's palm and play with it, but the words that came out of her mouth were in a lazy and mocking tone.

It was the way she used to talk to him.

Xuan Ming thought that in this situation, something really needed to be said.

He pondered for a moment and said very seriously: "Marry me, be my wife, and let me take care of you and the child."

There is no fancy erotic love.

Xuan Ming's words were simple, direct, and straightforward, but they went straight to Xie Jiajia's heart.

Xie Jiajia's eyes were shining, and she held a fan against her cheek.

She leaned closer to Xuan Ming and stopped half an inch in front of him. She was eye to eye with Xuan Ming, nose to nose, and her breath was like orchid: "You are so sincere, but if I don't agree, it would be too shameless. Yes No?" (End of chapter)
