Chapter 505: Will Que'er Marry Sha San?

Li Qingluo did not immediately agree to Sha San.

Instead she said, "As for this matter, I cannot decide directly for Que'er."

"Sha San, I have to ask her own wishes."

Sha San blushed, his steps faltering as he left.

Whether it succeeded or failed, since the young lady gave a chance to ask Que'er, the young lady, he would have no regrets.

Li Qingluo was still, for the first time, seeing assassins in such a vivid way.

Although it was only Sha San alone, she actually felt quite gratified.

What surprised Li Qingluo even more was that Que'er actually agreed.

"Miss, just him."

Li Qingluo: "Que'er, have you thought this through?"

"Marriage may not be the only destination in life, but it is a major affair for a woman's whole life."

"You are to stay together with this person for life, accompany each other to old age, and support each other through any circumstance."

"Never choose another person just to spite someone else, or merely for your own escape."

"That would also be extremely unfair to that person."

Que'er smiled faintly and shook her head.

"Miss, Sha San is quite good."

"I, your servant, have spent time with him a few times; he blushes as soon as he speaks."

"At first he seemed like a sullen gourd, but later I learned he is very considerate and meticulous. He has always taken good care of me."

"Is there also this?"

Li Qingluo hadn't noticed any of it.

It turned out Que'er had been clear in her heart all along.

"So you would marry him just because he treats you well?"

Que'er looked up at Li Qingluo, her face sincere, and asked, "Miss, what do you think of his character?"

Li Qingluo: "Of course, he's fine."

These assassins were all trained harshly by the Old Duke himself, receiving from childhood the hardships and training that ordinary people could barely endure.

Such a person would either develop an extremely selfish and indifferent nature.

Or, like Sha San, a person whose heart knows warmth and can be tender to others.

Que'er: "Miss, my illness was truly a release."

"Compared to love, life itself is more important."

"I also do not wish to torment myself repeatedly over past matters."

"Choosing anyone is still choosing, isn't it?"

"Choosing someone who is good to you, isn't that the best destiny?"

"Moreover, someone like Que'er, born a servant, marrying Sha San is already a fortunate fate; Que'er does not dare to entertain any other fantasies or desires."

Li Qingluo felt a sharp tug in her heart.

"Good Que'er, you are the best little lady in the world."

"You also deserve the best husband in the world."

"Miss, I will let you become a proper person, upright and respectable."

Que'er's marriage was thus settled.

When Sha San learned of it, he went ecstatic.

After thanking Li Qingluo repeatedly, he left Tangdi Residence with light, drunken-like steps.

Zheng Mama said he smiles at everyone now; there's no trace of the half‑cold assassin look he used to have.

However, soon Li Qingluo heard news that Sha San and Zhui Yu had fought.

Although Zhui Yu's martial skill was superior, Sha San's aura was stronger.

It is said he pointed at Zhui Yu and scolded, "It's you who don't cherish Que'er, on what grounds do I let you?"

Zhui Yu: "You are unworthy of Que'er, yet you dare to ask to marry her! I will kill you—"

Sha San: "Ha, kill me? Come on! If you kill me, will you then be able to marry her?"

"A lady as good as Que'er, if you don't cherish her, there are still many people in the world vying for her."

"I am the one waiting for her to return."

Zhui Yu let out a cold laugh, speaking rashly, "What I rejected, you still cherish?"

Thus Sha San, reckless, lunged again and grappled with Zhui Yu.

The assassins and Prince Su's palace guards faced each other, almost clashing.

It is said that Leng Dian, accompanied by Duan Rongshi, arrived in time, preventing the West Third Hall from truly spilling blood.

"What's the commotion?"

"Whoever dares to cause trouble, go roll back to DaLiang by my command!"

At once, everyone fell silent.

Duan Rongshi glared fiercely at Zhui Yu.

"Useless thing!"

"You will regret your broken mouth for the rest of your life."

Only then did Zhui Yu weep, his face mournful, dragging his wounded body, filled with regret.

However, before he could utter his words of regret, Que'er had already rushed over at the sound.

"Sha San!"

Que'er didn't even glance at Zhui Yu, rushed over and heartbrokenly helped Sha San up.

"Are you okay?"

She took out a handkerchief intending to wipe Sha San's split lip, but seeing that the corner of his eye was also torn and there were wounds on his neck, she suddenly trembled while holding the handkerchief.

"How are your injuries so severe?"

Zhui Yu behind her:?

He's even more injured, hey, Que'er!

Could you also glance at him?

Zhui Yu stepped forward wanting to say something, but Que'er had already turned her head first.

On Zhui Yu's similarly scarred face, a hint of a smile instantly appeared.

He watched Que'er walk over, before he could even call out "Que", she raised her hand and gave him a hard slap.

"Are you despicable?"

"Today we will make things clear right here in front of everyone!"

"I, Xin Que'er, dare to act and take responsibility, and I admit I once liked you."

"But since you have something in your heart that you must uphold, I respect your choice and will not force you."

"But I can let go and pick up again. We have no future, so why can't I reconsider my own future?"

"Do you think that because you wait for your cousin all your life, I should wait for you all my life?"

"I am not that kind of shameless woman."

"Sha San is a very good person; having his protection is my fortune."

"Besides, we never clarified our relationship, so how could I be someone you don't want?"

The coldness in her eyes was like an ice blade, cutting Zhui Yu's flesh inch by inch, causing a burning pain as if being slowly sliced.

"No, I didn't mean that……"

"Que'er……"

Zhui Yu, face full of panic and fear, stepped forward wanting to explain.

Que'er shouted at him: "Stop!"

"Don't come over!"

"In order not to cause trouble for the young lady and Your Highness, from now on when Sir Zhui Yu sees the servant, please do not speak."

"From now on, we two are strangers!"

Having said that, Que'er turned and walked toward Sha San.

"Let's go!"

Sha San nodded obediently, joy evident on his face despite his injuries.

Even with his face full of wounds, that happiness almost overflowed from his eyes.

After Que'er helped Sha San leave, Zhui Yu wanted to go crazy but was restrained by the master still watching the play, so he could only swallow the bitter-sweet taste in his throat.

In truth, his heart already was: ahhhhhhh!!!

Li Qingluo, hearing Zheng Mama's quick report of the scene, couldn't help but laugh: "Those 'ahs' in Zhui Yu's heart are your own additions, right?"

Zheng Mama raised her eyebrows: "His expression then, pained and afraid to vent, what else could his heart be but those 'ahs'?"

"But you guessed right, miss, it was indeed this old servant who added them, hehe."

Li Qingluo shook her head and smiled: "Is Que'er still with Sha San?"

Zheng Mama: "Yes. This Sha San really does seem like someone who knows how to care for people."

"He himself is obviously overjoyed, seeming to want to laugh 'haha' a few times. He still has wounds, yet upon seeing Que'er's sorrowful face, he actually first asked if she was okay."

"Miss, each of these 'kill' names looks like a fool."

"There are still twenty-six of the 'kill' left; you'll have endless worries."

Li Qingluo: "What's the point of worrying about those idle thoughts? Whoever wants to marry can come find me; those who don't, I won't bother with."

"Besides, isn't Zhui Yu also a fool?"
