Miss Lin San of the Duke's Mansion has reached marriageable age, and her goal is to choose the most gentle and handsome young man in the capital to be her husband.
But after reading the roster prepared by her family, she chose the new top scholar Xie Tingzhu, who was not among them and was eliminated by her family in the first round of screening.
Everyone was surprised and asked why.
"On the day of the parade, I accidentally almost smashed his head with a flowerpot. Xie Tingzhu not only didn't hurt me, but also said thank you and smiled at me."
"I heard that a servant at home was seriously injured. He not only invited the imperial doctor to come into the house to treat the servant, but also gave him medicine that even the officials were reluctant to use."
"What moved me the most was that one night I saw him injured and standing there covered in blood. At that time, he was still trying to protect me. His gentle and kind look was like a man descended from heaven!"
After Lin San finished speaking, the whole family fell silent. She thought they were all recalling how gentle Xie Tingzhu was, but she heard her mother say: "San, I didn't ask the kitchen to make you wolfberry tea to improve your eyesight, not to make you blind."
Lin San: "???"
Lin San didn't understand why the whole family advised her to have her eyes treated, until she knew:
Xie Tingzhu would smile before killing someone, and he would smile happier than when he saw her.
He did ask the royal doctor to treat the servant, but the injury was caused by his orders.
And the night she thought he was injured, there were corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard separated by a wall.
Each one of them was killed by Xie Tingzhu himself...
Lin San: "... Xie Tingzhu, you are really a madman!"
"What should we do?" Xie Tingzhu bent down and picked up the dagger with Lin San's name engraved on the ground, and put it into her palm with his own hands, "How about you kill me? If you kill me, it's best to eat my heart again, so that I can be with you forever."
Small Theater
The day Lin San sent the love letter to Xie Tingzhu's mansion, the sky fell in the Duke's Mansion and the Hou's Mansion.
Father Lin: Hey, my daughter's future is really visible at a glance.
Xie Tingzhu: What head?
Lin San answered quickly: It's in your heart.
