Chapter 923 She Decides to Marry Mr. Zhuo
Zhuo Qiran stopped looking at Bei Hui and squatted down to continue removing lice from the stray dog and combing its hair.
He pushed aside the gray hair with his fingertips and suddenly whispered, "When I took over the Zhuo family at the age of fourteen, I was the youngest head of the family in the capital."
The corner of Bei Hui's skirt paused slightly on the bluestone slab.
Then I heard him say, "Later, because of raising Gu, my family business was ruined. When the elders used a ruler to beat me and asked me to return the seal, they said that I would never touch the key of the ancestral hall again in my life." He suddenly laughed softly and pinched a louse between his fingers. "But guess what? The winter solstice two years ago, the seal of the head of the family returned to my hands."
Bei Hui replied, "It shows that the Zhuo family still thinks highly of you."
Zhuo Qiran said proudly, "Of course, I am a rare genius in the Zhuo family. I was originally planning to turn over a new leaf and revive the family business. Unfortunately... I am powerless now."
Bei Hui still comforted him calmly, "It will be fine."
Zhuo Qiran raised his head and looked at Bei Hui, his eyes reflecting the sunlight like broken gold, "As for me, I am now inexplicably tied to your master. Wherever they go, I have to go. You can see that I am like this now, neither alive nor dead."
He paused for a moment, then stood up, his silver hair flying in the wind, with a carefree demeanor. "Miss Bei Hui, go back and think carefully about whether you are willing to marry me. If you marry me, I will not treat you unfairly. I will give you all the money I have saved, but you must be prepared to lose your husband. If you can leave me a child, that would be great. If not... that is fate."
When Bei Hui returned to the cabin, the man's words were still ringing in her ears. She twisted her handkerchief in despair, and the ripples in the copper basin spread out in circles, vaguely reflecting the gray hair.
"Bei Hui?" Shi Anxia put down her brush, her handwriting glistening in the twilight, "But are you seasick?"
"Madam!" Bei Hui wiped the hand stains off her hands and knelt down on the gold-woven carpet, stirring up a few wisps of dust. "Madam... I want to get married."
Shi Anxia looked at the silver hairpin dangling in her hair and asked calmly, "Zhuo Qiran?"
Bei Hui's earrings suddenly hit the side of her neck. She was very surprised and asked, "How did Madam know?"
Amid the dripping sound of the copper clock, Shi Anxia's eyes passed by the dead trees moving on the shore outside the boat window, "He is the only strange man on this boat who can talk nonsense to you."
"I saw that he looked very serious."
"So do you like him?" Shi Anxia asked.
Bei Hui was bewildered, "Ma'am, I don't know. My mind is in a mess. He suddenly asked me to marry him..." She pressed her chest, as if pressing a wound that was about to bloom, "Just looking at him and listening to him say those things, my heart aches."
"You're just sympathizing." Shi Anxia hit the nail on the head.
"But if he hadn't become like this, how could he look down on me?" Bei Hui murmured.
She became the head of the Zhuo family at the age of fourteen, and now she has entered the Imperial Hospital and become the confidant of the lady and the young master... Normally, Lord Zhuo would not be able to see her.
Shi Anxia pulled her up and said, "Sit down."
Bei Hui followed her instructions and sat half-way opposite the lady, with her head lowered.
Shi Anxia said, "You sympathize with him, but you also want to tie him up for me."
Bei Hui suddenly looked up and opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.
In fact, she didn't quite understand what the relationship was between Zhuo Qiran's hair turning white overnight and Madam. She also didn't know why this man was inexplicably tied to Madam and Young Master.
Moreover, Lord Zhuo suddenly became the person closest to the Madam and the Young Master, and there was no sign of this before.
But if she could use her body to bind him to loyalty, it would be a good idea.
Shi Anxia thought about it and stopped hiding it from her, "It's a Gu. The Young Master and I have the Gu planted by Zhuo Qiran..."
Bei Hui was shocked. This is not a good thing!
Shi Anxia knew that she must be thinking this, so she told her everything about the fate-defying mother-child Gu, "Lord Zhuo's Gu saved my life and my child's life, it's a good thing. He turned white overnight for our family."
She only talked about the kindness of this life, not the hatred of the past life. The things in the past life should not affect the judgment of the benefactor today.
In fact, even in his previous life, Master Zhuo ended up killing himself out of regret. From this point of view, this person is essentially a good person.
Shi Anxia finally said, "The destiny Gu in his body affects the destiny Gu of me and the young master."
Bei Hui was even more terrified, "If he dies, then... "
Shi Anxia shook her head. "If our natal Gu dies, it won't affect us. But if we are in danger, our natal Gu can control its sub-Gu to save us."
Bei Hui was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, "Is it so magical?"
No wonder the children didn't come out after the due date, but finally survived. She had already thought that the child in the lady's belly would not survive.
"Some things are mysterious. Just because we don't understand them doesn't mean they don't exist. But Lord Zhuo truly sacrificed his life for me and the children." Shi Anxia explained patiently.
But he changed the subject and said, "Bei Hui, if you marry him, it will be of great benefit to me."
In her previous life, she might not only not stop it, but also carefully planned it. But now, "But I hope you marry someone because you truly love him, and I also hope that the other person wants to marry you because he likes you."
Bei Hui choked up, "Madam, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to repay you."
"You don't have to repay me. Your willingness to stay with me is the best gift from God to me." Shi Anxia thought that his words could dissuade Bei Hui from thinking about this.
But Bei Hui still wanted to marry Zhuo Qiran, "If he is sincere in marrying me, I am willing to give it a try with him." She paused and lowered her head, "Actually, I have my own considerations. I want to stay by the lady's side and serve her for the rest of my life, but I also want to have a child of my own."
It would be good if Master Zhuo were alive. Wherever Madam and Young Master go in the future, Master Zhuo should follow.
If Lord Zhuo died and the child was left to her, she wouldn't have to worry about not having a child.
When Shi Anxia heard her say what she was thinking, she couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you have this idea?"
Bei Hui pouted, which was rare for her. "Lord Zhuo also had this in mind. He wanted to leave a bloodline, so he came to me."
She and Lord Zhuo are both pursuing the same goal, which feels quite harmonious.
At that time, Anxia knew that Beihui was the kind of person who had his own ideas, and felt helpless for a moment.
Bei Hui tugged at Madam's sleeve, "Madam, will you promise me?" She leaned closer and asked, "Madam, do you think Master Zhuo will die?"
Shi Anxia was silent for a moment. "I heard from my husband that he can find the rare medicinal materials that Lord Zhuo wants, but it will take some time and effort, so we have to wait. However, Lord Zhuo doesn't seem to believe what my husband said, so he is very pessimistic."
Bei Hui smiled and said, "Then if I take advantage of his pessimism to capture him, wouldn't that be a great advantage?"
Shi Anxia: "..."
Feeling like he couldn't persuade her anymore, he asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Bei Hui nodded, "I hadn't thought it through at first, my mind was in a mess. After talking to my wife, my mind became clearer and I sorted out some of my thoughts."
She decided to marry Lord Zhuo!
