Chapter 357 Confession
At first Zhou Mingshu didn't know why Lord Qi had hurriedly dragged her here, but now seeing him like this, she understood.
It turned out that he was worried that what happened yesterday when he was drunk would make her angry.
"Sir, you know you are drunk. When you are drunk, you don't know how to behave yourself and wander around in the flower garden by yourself."
Zhou Mingshu pretended to be angry, which frightened Qi Rui who was standing beside him. He felt guilty and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.
"Didn't I... misunderstand?"
"My Lord, what did you misunderstand?"
Seeing that Qi Rui did not answer, Zhou Mingshu thought about what happened yesterday.
Oh~ turned out to be a misunderstanding between her and Uncle Xiaofan.
This incident did make her a little angry.
There is an old saying that goes, 'You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.'
Lord Qi is obviously talking nonsense because he is drunk!
"Sir, I remember now. You really shouldn't..."
At this point, Zhou Mingshu sighed and shook his head.
"Mingshu, I'm so sorry. I was drunk at the time and I didn't know how to control my words. Just treat it as a gust of wind and let it go."
Qi Rui quickly apologized, hoping that Zhou Mingshu would no longer be angry.
"Your Excellency holds such a high position, so naturally what he says is what counts."
Qi Rui felt uncomfortable listening to this sentence.
Isn't this saying that he relies on his high official position to bully others?
"Good Mingshu, please forgive me. I really didn't mean it. Your uncle looks like a handsome man, and I just said it out of confusion."
"But there is a saying that goes 'truth comes out when drunk'. I don't know which one I should believe, sir."
In fact, Zhou Mingshu was no longer angry, and she would not take such a small matter to heart.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to give Lord Qi a warning because he felt so guilty.
He should be taught a lesson for talking nonsense while drunk.
Zhou Mingshu originally wanted to tease Qi Rui, but he didn't expect that he would blush first.
"Mingshu, if you think so, then I will say it directly."
He suddenly became serious, which scared Zhou Mingshu who was standing next to him.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Zhou Mingshu looked into Lord Qi's eyes, and his own reflection was reflected in his bright pupils.
"Mingshu, I...I..."
Qi Rui thought he was ready to confess, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to say them.
It turns out that saying "love" is so difficult!
Seeing Qi Rui stuttering and blushing in embarrassment, even the most slow-witted Zhou Mingshu guessed why.
Could it be that Lord Qi has fallen in love with her?
She couldn't help but look down at her outfit. She was definitely wearing ordinary clothes. She rarely dressed up on weekdays, and today she just tied her hair into a simple bun.
Logically speaking, I'm not that good-looking, so how could adults like me?
Zhou Mingshu couldn't help but doubt himself. Could it be that his sixth sense was wrong? !
Besides, she and Lord Qi have different statuses and ages.
People say that a three-year age difference means a generation gap, so there must be at least one and a half generation gap between her and Lord Qi.
Zhou Mingshu's eyes blinked repeatedly, his mind was in a tizzy.
Qi Rui on the side was still planning.
"Mingshu, I won't hide anything from you. I'll say it sooner or later. I've thought about it and I think it's better to make it clear now. I like you and I want to marry you. I know you must be a little surprised and you may not agree. But I feel bad when I think of you being with other men. But you haven't reached the age of marriage yet. It's really too early to say these things now. It's not appropriate. But don't rush to reject me. Tell me when you have made up your mind, okay?"
Qi Rui spoke a lot of gibberish without taking a breath, which stunned Zhou Mingshu.
No, no, Sir Qi, are you really serious?!
Zhou Mingshu has lived two lifetimes, and this is the first time someone confessed to her.
She swallowed unconsciously, not knowing what to do next?
To be honest, she really wanted to agree right away.
Lord Qi's status, appearance, and figure... are simply every girl's dream.
But thoughts are thoughts and reality is reality.
In this era, every family with a little power would have a few beautiful concubines.
If she, a small peasant girl, were to marry Lord Qi, she might become a concubine with no status.
She either doesn't marry or becomes the principal wife. It's impossible for her to become a concubine just for a little power and money.
So, the reality is that she can't agree to him.
"Sir, can I tell you the answer now?"
Zhou Mingshu asked tentatively.
Qi Rui spoke out what was in his heart and felt a little relieved. Finally, he didn't have to be depressed about such a small matter anymore.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he became worried again after hearing what he heard.
"Ming...Mingshu, what do you want to say? You're not rejecting me, are you?"
Qi Rui knew from Zhou Mingshu's expression that the answer she gave was one he didn't want to hear.
Zhou Mingshu didn't know whether to nod or shake his head after hearing what Lord Qi said to him.
"Mingshu, don't be so hasty to reject me. Wait until you reach the age of 15, okay?"
Qi Rui is seeking Zhou Mingshu's opinion.
"Sir, you are a handsome man, how can you be married to a peasant girl? There is a huge difference between you and Mingshu. Mingshu can't agree, and his family won't agree either. Sir, please don't think about it anymore."
From the beginning to the end, the family just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life and never thought about climbing up the social ladder.
Zhou Mingshu himself is the same. He just wants to find someone he likes to support each other and live a simple life together.
For a man of Lord Qi's status, there is not enough space for the women in the backyard to live in, and she does not want to live such a life.
And this is just one of the very small reasons.
There are many things that she cares about, and she doesn't want to list them in detail.
Qi Rui originally wanted Zhou Mingshu to reconsider it, after all, there was still half a year before winter.
By then, they will spend more and more time together and get to know each other better. Mingshu might even fall in love with me.
Unexpectedly, he shot himself in the foot with this trip.
My heart feels sore and painful.
He was indeed a little anxious.
If you are impatient, you will never get the hot tofu.
"Mingshu, don't you like me at all? We have so many wonderful memories in the past few months..."
Qi Rui was obviously shocked.
Zhou Mingshu thought back to the times they had been getting along. Sometimes their relationship was indeed beyond that of ordinary friends, but many times it was not her intention. Or was it that some of her actions were misunderstood by the adults?
But she had never thought about him in real life, although she had thought about him in her dreams. After all, Lord Qi was indeed outstanding.
