Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Hanzheng had been able to rise to a high position in his previous life because of his networking.

Because of this, he could roughly get a grasp of Shi Qingluo’s personality from this conversation.

She was straightforward. Her personality was indeed a little strong, but she did things very swiftly and efficiently.

He actually admired this kind of personality more.

It might have something to do with his own experience.

Although he did not dislike women who were weak and obedient, had no opinions of their own, or treated their husbands as their god, he did not like them either.

Therefore, in his previous life, it was not that no one wanted to marry him.

In fact, many families had wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he had rejected them all.

He wanted a wife who could stand by his side to support and understand him, but he had never met one until his death.

He asked with a smile, “So you have never met me, and you only came here because of my family?

“If I don’t wake up, won’t you be a widow?

“Then if I’m an ugly freak, or if I wake up with a bad personality, or even hit my wife, what are you going to do?”

He was a little curious about this. He could tell that Shi Qingluo did not seem to be someone who would let him down.

Shi Qingluo laughed dejectedly. “I’m not stupid. Before I marry you, of course, I have to take a look at your appearance.

“That day when I gave your mother the medicine, I took the opportunity to see your face.

“If you look too ugly, I definitely won’t consider marrying into your family.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. It turned out that his face played an important role in her marriage.

Shi Qingluo continued, “And as I said earlier, I’m here for your family. Naturally, the reason had to do with your mother and younger siblings.

“They seem to get along with me easily, so I’m not afraid of being a widow. Even without you, I can still live with them.”

Xiao Hanzheng understood. So she had even considered the matter of him not waking up and dying.

He wanted to thank her…

Shi Qingluo raised her small fist and shook it, then said, “As for if you wake up with a bad temper or dare to hit me, I’ll definitely make you cry until you ask your parents for help and divorce with you.

“Of course, before I married into the village, the villagers did mention about you before.

“Choosing a poor mother over a rich father is something I admire.

“Just fight for what you want. If you give up your own mother and younger siblings in exchange for power, then what’s the difference between you and your scumbag father?

“Moreover, looking at your mother and younger siblings, I can see that you have protected them very well. At least when it comes to treating your relatives, you won’t be bad.

“All in all, you should be a responsible and ambitious person.

“That’s why I took the initiative to chongxi.”

Although Shi Qingluo was born into a wealthy family, she was an expert in agricultural research.

Therefore, she preferred to be straightforward and would not beat around the bush when communicating with others.

Xiao Hanzheng did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It turned out that his little wife had thought so much before marrying him.

Not only was she straightforward, she was also very smart.

In his previous life, he was actually quite tired from others’ vicious plots.

Now that his wife was so straightforward, he felt that it was quite good.

At least it wasn’t tiring to get along with her. It was quite interesting.

Similarly, he didn’t have to beat around the bush. “I don’t have someone else in mind, and I won’t like anyone else in the future, so you don’t have to consider divorcing.”

Shi Qingluo glanced at him. “What if our personalities aren’t compatible or we don’t get along well? Then I definitely have to divorce.”

“I think that if a husband and wife really want to be together, they have to at least have a foundation in their relationship, even if they may not understand each other’s feelings.”

Xiao Hanzheng uttered under his breath, which wife would discuss about divorce so righteously on their first day of marriage?

“Alright, I won’t force you on this. You saved my younger siblings, gave me medicine to lower my fever and made me wake up. I will remember that you did us a great favour.

“As long as you are my wife, I will not let you down, and I will treat you well.”

This was his promise.

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. “You mean, as long as I don’t divorce with you, you won’t?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes, you’ll be my wife for my entire life.”

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment. “Alright, then let’s try out this marriage.

“If it works, then stay. If it doesn’t work, then we will divorce.”

After Xiao Hanzheng woke up, his appearance and temperament hit all of her aesthetic expectations.

The key was that he was a smart person who was easy to communicate with.

Mother Xiao and her two younger siblings were also easy to get along with.

This was rare in the modern era.

Since she had married here, it was naturally best to avoid a divorce in a big environment where being single was uncommon in this ancient era.

Moreover, when she suddenly came here, the Shi family’s relatives were problematic.

Being alone and lonely, she did not have that much energy to pursue her career.

In this unfamiliar world, she actually hoped that someone would accompany her and work hard to live together.

Although Xiao Hanzheng had never heard about a ‘marriage trial’, he understood what she meant.

A faint smile appeared on his face. “Sure, we’ll do as you say.”

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and asked, “You’ll continue to take the imperial examinations in the future, right?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded confidently and said, “I’ll take the imperial examinations, and I’ll work hard to rise to the top.”

In his previous life, his revenge had been too intense.

In this life, he might as well change the way he played.

In addition, all his relatives were still alive, so it was necessary for him to take a formal imperial examination to become an official scholar.

Shi Qingluo nodded. “That’s good.”

She was in high spirits and smiled confidently, “In that case, in the future, I’ll be responsible for earning money to support my family. You’ll be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. You’ll also take the imperial examination to become an official and be our pillar of support.”

They were in an ancient era.

Without power or authority, others would target and snatch away everything they owned.

There was another thing that she valued about Xiao Hanzheng – his potential.

So he should focus on the imperial examinations.

When he became an official in the future, she could rely on him.

Her earnings to support his family was equivalent to an early investment.

Xiao Hanzheng’s face could not help but darken. “Beautiful as a flower? What did that mean?

Shi Qingluo blinked. “It means to take good care of your face. I often look at it and it’s pleasing to the eye.”

Who asked her to be so obsessed with looks?

Xiao Hanzheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Why did this little wife have so many strange ideas in a day?

“Alright, I’ll go along with you,” he said helplessly.

Shi Qingluo extended her small fist in front of Xiao Hanzheng. “Then it’s a deal.”

Xiao Hanzheng saw her stunning expression and quickly reacted.

This meant that he should shake hands or do a pinkie swear.

He raised his hand with great effort and also clenched his fist to touch hers. “It’s settled then.”

After a while, Xiao Baili brought in a bowl of porridge.

She smiled and handed it to Shi Qingluo. “Sister-in-law, I’ll have to trouble you to help feed my brother the porridge.”

She was already twelve years old and was not suitable to do such a thing.

Letting her sister-in-law to feed her brother porridge would also allow the two of them to get close to each other.

Shi Qingluo took the bowl graciously. “Alright.”

Sitting in front of the bed, she scooped up a spoonful of porridge and blew at it before passing it to Xiao Hanzheng’s mouth. “Eat then.”

This was the first time Xiao Hanzheng was fed porridge like this, and he felt a little awkward and uncomfortable.

If he had the strength, he would still want to eat it himself.

However, looking at Shi Qingluo’s clear eyes and gracious gestures, he put aside his awkwardness and opened his mouth to eat the porridge.
