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

43-44

Chapter 43: He also wanted to try trusting her

Xiao Hanzheng felt that his wife wasn't just eloquent, but also very smart.

If this situation happened to any other woman, she would either be bullied to death or would raise her fist and worsen the tensions between her and people from the old residence, just like how that woman at the capital had wished the situation had evolved.

But Shi Qingluo did the opposite.

She stood up for these villains and felt wronged for them.

Then, she helped them by giving advice and encouraging them to go to the capital to stir trouble.

His little wife was really amazing!

Mother Xiao brought Xiao Baili and Xiao Erlang back to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks.

Shi Qingluo pulled Xiao Hanzheng's sleeve and appeared to be asking for compliments.

"Old Xiao, I played beautifully just now, didn't I?"

The smile in Xiao Hanzheng's eyes intensified as he praised generously, "You played beautifully. You're very fantastic."

Shi Qingluo raised her chin proudly. "That's right. I'll take care of you guys from now on."

Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you going to hug my thigh?"

Shi Qingluo held his arm. "I have to!"

She looked at him with watery eyes and chuckled. "Brother Zheng, from now on, our family will still have to rely on you."

As he looked at her, the coldness in his heart melted.

He used his other hand that wasn't being hugged to gently tap Shi Qingluo's forehead.

"I'll take care of the outside and you'll take care of our family. I will also let you hug my thigh as much as you want."

Shi Qingluo leaned her head against Xiao Hanzheng's arm and rubbed it. "Brother Zheng is the best!"

In the past, when she saw her best friend rubbing against her boyfriend, she was like a dog whose food had been eaten by others.

As a dog who was still single, she was actually a little envious.

It was a pity that she had never found a suitable boyfriend, and hadn't been so intimate with anyone before.

Now that her marriage with Xiao Hanzheng was on trial, he was her boyfriend.

If the marriage was successful, he would be her husband.

So, she was using him legally.

As expected, it felt pretty good.

Xiao Hanzheng's body stiffened when she rubbed his arm, and his heartbeat sped up.

He lowered his head to look at Shi Qingluo with a gentle and doting gaze that he wasn't aware of himself.

It seemed that his little wife really liked him.

If she wanted to rub against him, he would let her be.

He asked, "Did you guys' visit to Doctor Shi went on smoothly today?"

Shi Qingluo raised her head. "Very smoothly. The new magistrate seems to be quite righteous."

Xiao Hanzheng was stunned. "The new magistrate?"

Shi Qingluo nodded. "That's right. He just took up this post two days ago. I heard that this new magistrate has an excellent background. He is the empress' biological nephew and the heir to the Hou Mansion. I wonder why such someone from a noble family would want to become a county magistrate in a small place like ours."
