After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 19: From now Onwards, I'll Protect You

The way he looked at her was a little strange as if he had never seen her before.

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he said, "We're husband and wife. You call me husband, and I call you wife. Isn't that a normal form of address?"

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. "But we're not that close yet."

Xiao Hanzheng said, "Getting married are the words of our parents' matchmakers.

"Many men and women have not even seen each other before getting married, let alone being familiar with each other.

"We were familiar with each other for a whole day yesterday."

Therefore, it was okay for her to call him husband or hubby.

When Shi Qingluo heard this, she felt that it made sense.

In ancient times, blind marriage was the norm.

Hence, it was already very good that she could choose one for herself.

If she were to get married after travelling through time, and the man wasn't the one she liked, she would cry.

However, she wasn't entangled with Xiao Hanzheng.

"We weren't together from a blind marriage, I chose you on my own initiative."

She walked up to Xiao Hanzheng and raised her head to look at him with a domineering look on her face.

"That's why you're mine during the marriage trial. If you dare to be unfaithful, I'll break your legs first before I divorce with you."

She had heard that Xiao Hanzheng had been particularly popular before.

The young ladies in the village and even some in the town also wanted to marry him.

Shi Qingluo did not care about those peach blossoms, but she wouldn't allow him to be unfaithful during the marriage trial.

She was just that domineering.

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned.

He clearly did not expect Shi Qingluo to announce her dominance and that he was not allowed to have any feelings for other girls.

After he regained his senses, he moved closer to Shi Qingluo's ear and asked with a chuckle, "Break my legs? Hmm?"

As for divorcing with him, he had ignored it.

This would not happen because he had confidence that it was impossible for him to be fond of other girls.

Having such a problematic, lively, and domineering wife was already enough to give him a headache.

The breath that Xiao Hanzheng exhaled when he spoke into Shi Qing's ears, caused her ears to go numb.

This person's voice was also very pleasant to hear.

He fulfilled her checklist again. How annoying!

It was rare for her face to turn slightly red.

She pushed him away and said, "You don't need to come so close when you are speaking."

Then, she shook her little fist and looked at him seriously. "Don't believe me? If you dare to be unfaithful, I'll break your legs."

Xiao Hanzheng saw that her face was covered in a layer of pink, and became a little happier.

He smiled and said, "I believe you. In order not to let you break my legs, I won't dare to be unfaithful."

Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes at him. "Wrong. It's not that you don't dare to be unfaithful because you don't want me to break your legs."

"It's because you have to be loyal to our marriage first. Don't forget that we're still trying out our marriage."

She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "Of course, if you really like other girls, we'll divorce."

However, it was necessary to break his legs first.

Who asked Xiao Hanzheng to provoke her first and agree to try out the marriage together.

Xiao Hanzheng's smile turned a little lighter.

He didn't like the last sentence she said.

His little wife was always bringing up the idea of a divorce.

It seemed that she had some ulterior motives. This wasn't good.

He did not dare to say it, but he followed her words. "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'm loyal to our marriage, not because I'm afraid that you'll break my legs."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin. "That's better."

She reached out and patted Xiao Hanzheng's shoulder. "Don't worry. As long as you're loyal to me, I'll protect you in the future.

"If anyone bullies you, I will break his legs."

Her young husband's thin body and gentleness made him an easy target for bullies.

So as long as he was loyal, she would protect him.

Xiao Hanzheng met her clear and serious eyes and was dazed.

This was the first time in two lifetimes that someone said, "I will protect you. Whoever bullies you, I will break his legs.".

His frozen heart melted a little more, and the corners of his lips curled up. "Alright, I will rely on my wife to protect me from now on."

Shi Qingluo gave a big smile. "Of course."

She then winked at Xiao Hanzheng. "Hubby, is the tofu pudding delicious?"

Xiao Hanzheng scooped a spoonful and tasted it. "Fresh and tender, not bad."

Shi Qingluo smiled smugly and said, "You don't even bother who made it."

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and supported her. "My wife is very good."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin proudly and said, "That's true."

She had heard from her best friend that men who praise their wives and acknowledge the fruits of their labour weren't bad.

Xiao Hanzheng wasn't bad.

Looking at her complacent gesture, the smile in his eyes became even stronger.

Soon, Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang returned to the kitchen.

Xiao Baili smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother praised the tofu pudding you made."

"Erlang and I like it too."

As it took a long time to make tofu, the other aunties went home to work first.

They would come back later.

Shi Qingluo was much more modest in front of Xiao Baili. "It's good that you like it. Come, let's continue making tofu."

Then, she let Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang apply pressure with a wet cloth.
