Chapter 362 Will There Be Accountability?

Qi Xingyun gently stretched out his hand, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid to disturb the person in front of him, and slowly smoothed the messy hair around Xiaocao'er's ears.

His eyes were full of tenderness and concern, and he said softly: "Don't worry, you won't be held accountable for this matter."

Hearing this, Xiao Cao was slightly relieved, but she was still a little uneasy. She bit her lip, looked up at Qi Xingyun, and asked again: "Then...what about our teahouse? Will it be implicated and held accountable because of this matter?"

Qi Xingyun smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring sun. He still answered in an extremely gentle voice: "No, you and grandma have made great contributions this time. In my opinion, the emperor may even reward you by then!"

However, Xiao Cao'er's face was full of suspicion, and she obviously didn't dare to believe what he said.

She blinked her big watery eyes, shook her head and said, "Ah? There is still a reward after something like this? How is this possible! It's already good enough to not be held accountable. I don't even dare to think about the reward!"

At this moment, Qi Xingyun seemed to suddenly remember something important, and hurriedly asked: "Yesterday's incident was so hasty that I forgot to ask if you were injured? Are you feeling unwell now?"

Xiao Cao'er quickly responded truthfully: "No, I'm fine!"

After a while, Qi Xingyun asked, "By the way, Uncle Dashan and Auntie are coming to the capital, do you have any plans?"

Xiao Cao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, she slowly said, "For now, I don't have any plans yet. After all, my parents just came to the capital not long ago, and they are probably busy looking for suitable wives for my brothers."

Hearing this, Qi Xingyun immediately suggested enthusiastically: "Do you want me to have someone tell grandma and aunt in detail about all the girls of marriageable age in the capital? Maybe they can help!"

When Xiao Caoer heard this, her big round eyes instantly widened to the size of copper bells, with an expression of disbelief on her face. She asked in surprise, "Brother Xingyun, I didn't expect you to know all these things!"

Qi Xingyun smiled and explained patiently, "My grandmother mentioned this matter before, so I specifically asked Yun Liu and the others to investigate it carefully. Moreover, not only did they find out everything, they also compiled it into a booklet. If you want to read it, I'll ask them to send it to you now."

Xiao Cao stared at Qi Xingyun quietly, her eyes lingering on him for a long time. Then, she bit her pink lips gently, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she asked shyly in a low voice: "Brother Xingyun, then...then in your opinion, which girl is more outstanding?"

Qi Xingyun looked at the slightly shy Xiao Cao'er in front of him, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, forming a beautiful arc, and he replied softly: "If you ask me, I think the girl from the Yang family in Qingshan Village is pretty good."

Although Xiao Cao'er has experienced two lives and her combined age is almost 40 years old, it is the first time that someone has talked about this topic so bluntly in front of her. For a moment, she felt her heart pounding and she was in a panic.

Qi Xingyun's eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, firmly locked on Xiaocao'er's pretty face, never moving away for a moment. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently gathered the few strands of hair scattered around Xiaocao'er's ears behind her ears.

Time seemed to freeze. After a long time, Qi Xingyun finally broke the silence and said softly, "Xiao Cao'er, when your second brother comes back, can I come to your house to propose marriage?"

Just now, when Xiao Cao'er heard Qi Xingyun say that the girl from the Yang family in Qingshan Village was good, her cheeks instantly flushed like a ripe apple.

And at this moment, when she heard Qi Xingyun say these words again, she was completely stunned and stood there for a long while.

After coming back to her senses, Xiao Caoer stammered, "Proposing marriage in person? Isn't this... a little too fast?"

"Soon? Not at all!" Qi Xingyun responded firmly, "My love for you has long been unwavering. I just hope to be able to marry you soon."

When Xiao Cao'er heard this, she didn't know how to respond for a moment, and her right hand subconsciously started to pick at the fingers of her left hand.

Qi Xingyun couldn't help but laugh at the little girl who was at a loss. Xiaocao was always so lively and quirky, but this was the first time he saw her so shy.

Qi Xingyun took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you agree to this, I will go and tell grandma about it."

However, what Qi Xingyun didn't expect was that Xiao Cao'er actually replied a little shyly: "I... I haven't agreed yet."

When Qi Xingyun heard this, he was immediately anxious and asked hurriedly: "Why don't you agree? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
