Chapter 1426
The girl was clever and stumbled her way into a cave.
The criminals disguised as bandits set up a fire at the entrance of the cave, trying to use smoke to smoke the people out.
Ma Chuyi was passing by at that time and found something strange, so he sent his men to arrest the bandits. When he went into the cave to look for the bandits, he found that the cave was winding and there were many places to hide.
No matter how he shouted, the girl just wouldn't come out.
He was helpless and afraid of delaying Lord Wu's journey, so he asked someone to take the bandits ahead.
He stayed behind to look for the girl, and when he found her, her clothes were torn and she was shivering in a hidden recess in the cave.
The girl trusted no one and was hostile to him.
The two of them were in a stalemate until midnight, when the girl finally believed that he had come to save her. It was dark and it was inconvenient to walk.
And she looked quite shocked.
Ma Chuyi took off his black cloak and put it on the girl. It was not until dawn the next day that he quietly sent her back to the Ming family.
After listening to this, Cen Yuan frowned and asked, "So those so-called bandits are in your hands?"
Ma Chuyi said, "He is still in the Tonghuai County jail. I am afraid that it will affect the girl's reputation, so I have been suppressing it and have not done anything."
"Then what's the matter with your proposal?" Cen Yuan was incredulous. "Just because you stayed for one night, you want to be responsible for Ming Zhao?"
Ma Chuyi raised his eyes, "Shouldn't it be?"
He even suppressed the case of the mountain bandits, wasn't it because he was worried about ruining the girl's reputation? If people knew that the girl had stayed in a cave with a strange man for a night, would the girl still have a chance to survive? Who else could she marry?
He thought about it and felt that he should consider the girl and be responsible for her.
Cen Yuan said calmly, "If you didn't have feelings for Ming Zhao, I wouldn't have tried to find out for you."
"Why?" Ma Chuyi didn't understand.
"Because you don't really like Ming Zhao." Cen Yuan was not willing to match people up at random.
But in Ma Chuyi's opinion, he and the girl were at least better than the person he had never met before getting married. How could there be so much like?
When his family arranged a marriage for him with the girl from the Rong family, he had never even met her, but didn't he accept it anyway?
Who doesn't get married like this? Parents decide, matchmaker decides.
What Cen Yuan couldn't tolerate even more was, "You can't marry her just because she looks like someone in your heart. Everyone is just herself."
Ma Chuyi blushed immediately, "You! I don't understand what you are talking about!"
Cen Yuan raised her eyes and looked at him. "There's nothing wrong with liking someone. It's your right. But if it hurts another person, then you're wrong." The tea was warm, and the words were also warm. "That kind of life would be terrible. You wouldn't be happy."
It was the first time that Ma Chuyi heard Cen Yuan speak so earnestly and frankly, and even his sharp words showed a bit of integrity and warmth. He couldn't help but lower his eyebrows and said, "I can't hide anything from you, but it's not what you think..."
He had a crush on Princess Haiyan, but it was only for a moment. After learning that she was engaged, he stopped thinking about her.
He was not a sentimental man, and was devoted to building a career. But his family was pressing him hard, and his mother was anxious, so she had already scheduled a date for him to meet other girls.
He thought that if he were to look at any other girl, it would be better to look at the girl from the Ming family.
Upon learning that the Ming family actually had a connection with Princess Haiyan, he felt secretly delighted.
Being exposed by his husband, Ma Chuyi's usually impartial face suddenly turned red.
