Those days when I exiled the paralyzed, deposed crown prince to farm

Liu Sheng shivered from the cold and quickly whispered, "Sister A-Man, I have something to do, so I'll head back now."

Then, after giving Ah Man a "good luck" look, he ran off in a flash.

You heartless bastard!

"My name is Jiang Zhaoye, the young master of Yong'an Escort Agency!"

"You must be Miss Aman's brother. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"I've taken a liking to Miss Aman, and since there's no time like the present, I'd like to bring up the matter of proposing marriage with my brother."

Ah Man's eyes widened. "Shut your mouth! Stop talking!"

Aman covered her face, wishing she could punch Jiang Zhaoye and send him flying.

"Proposing marriage?"

His sinister gaze fell on Aman. He curled his lips into a smile, but that smile made Aman feel that her life was about to end.

"Yes, let's propose marriage!"

Jiang Zhaoye was very excited: "I hit it off with Miss Aman at first sight. It must be fate. If you're willing, brother..."

"I don't want to."

The three words were crisp and decisive, silencing Jiang Zhaoye's words.

"Huh?" Jiang Zhaoye was stunned, scratching his head, somewhat confused as to why he was unwilling. He quickly said, "I... I'll provide a betrothal gift!"

"I will marry Aman properly and will not mistreat her!"

I said, I don't want to.

Zhao Ye's tone was as light and airy as ever, but it sounded like a sharp knife to anyone who heard it, sending chills down their spine.

It hurts and feels cold.

Ah Man trembled and dared not speak.

"Ah Man, see the guests out!"

"It wasn't me..."

Ancestor, say less. If you keep going, Aman is afraid Zhao Ye will jump up from that wooden wheelchair and beat him up.

Jiang Zhaoye, who had been kicked out, scratched his head: "Was I too abrupt today?"

Looking at his empty hands, he suddenly understood: "I get it!"

"Oh dear, why did I come empty-handed? I should have brought some gifts. I'm so sorry."

Zhao Ye remained silent in the courtyard. The craftsmen had all finished work and gone home today. The courtyard wall had been completely built, and the small kitchen had been repaired.

The yard was filled with piles of bricks and materials.

"Zhao Ye, are you angry?"

Aman asked him, but Zhao Ye did not answer.

Ah Man explained, "He insisted on following me. I didn't want him to follow along, and I got annoyed."

"Don't worry, I won't get married until you're better."

To be precise, Ah Man will not get married in this era until she opens the passage back.

She thought that Zhao Ye was probably worried that no one would take care of his daily life after she got married, which was why he was angry.

"You deserve better," Zhao Ye said.

He's annoyed.

I feel restless, an indescribable kind of annoyance, not annoyance at Aman.

On the contrary, whenever he sees Aman, his inferiority complex, which has been eroded by hatred, gradually subsides.

Today, when he saw a man following Aman home and saying he wanted to marry her, Zhao Ye felt as if a fire had been ignited in his heart.

It seemed to be the fire of jealousy, but Zhao Ye didn't understand. He only felt that the fire was burning his heart, making it scald, boil, and even twist.

He gripped the wheelchair armrests tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands, but his face remained calm and composed, as if he didn't care about anything.

"I never thought about getting married," Aman said again, trying to put Zhao Ye at ease.

Is he jealous?

"It's alright, Aman." Zhao Ye tried to calm himself down. When he looked at Aman again, a gentle smile appeared on his lips, just like always.

He said to Aman, "It was I who dragged you down."

"Otherwise, you'll have to leave the manor in a few years."

Ah Man felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

"You've worked hard today. The stove in the small kitchen is all set up. Take a look and see if anything is missing. I'll have the craftsmen fix it up tomorrow."

Ah Man listened to his words and felt relieved, thinking that he probably hadn't thought much of it.

The small kitchen is brighter and more spacious than before, and two sinks have been built inside according to Aman's request, both made of bluestone slabs.

Not only was the small kitchen repaired, but Zhao Ye also prepared the meals.

The pot was filled with steaming food. He only knows how to cook the simplest dishes now, probably because of his strong will to survive. Now, without Ah Man telling him, he can brew his own medicine.

Take your medicine and soak it in water as prescribed every day.

The small kitchen was tidy, spacious, and bright, and Aman suddenly felt that this was what home felt like.

It's like I used to dream of having a big house where I could relax and do nothing when I was tired, ignoring the noise from the outside world.

Her hands gently caressed every inch of this place, her face displaying a smile that was sometimes serene and sometimes content.

original……

It turns out that all she needed was a spacious and bright house to be so content and happy.

It turns out that Ah Man's wish was much smaller than she herself said; she was so easily satisfied.

In a corner of my heart, it felt as if a place had been deeply touched.

He gazed at Aman quietly, unaware that the tenderness in his eyes was almost drowning Aman in it.

The heart that had long been dormant in his chest was now beating violently, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.

Bang, bang—

He lowered his head and pressed his hand against his heart; it turned out that the heart inside his chest was still alive.

It was still beating so powerfully.

This vigorous and tenacious vitality was something he sensed from Aman.

"Zhao Ye!"

Ah Man suddenly shouted his name and asked, "This is our house, isn't it?"

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "Mm."

Our house...

She was so happy just because she fixed a small kitchen; how happy she would be if she fixed the whole yard!

He said, "This house couldn't have been built without you."

Without Aman, he couldn't have been fixed.

He will live out his life in a broken and incomplete state.

But now he doesn't feel broken or incomplete. He suddenly has a strong urge to climb up, to climb up as high as he can.

Like a discarded child, yet unaware that he is a seed, the thick soil tries to bury him, but he insists on breaking free of those constraints and sprouting from the earth.

Because someone was willing to lend him a hand, someone was willing to shroud him like the sun when he was at his lowest point.

"Oh, this isn't all my doing."

Actually, Ah Man is feeling incredibly proud right now.

See? Even in ancient times, Shen Aman could live a good life.

I just hope she can live a little longer and have a better life, so that she can complete her mission sooner, leave this place, and return to her family.

Ah Man said, "You work very hard too. We are both shining in our respective fields of expertise."

"Although I am very capable, Zhao Ye, you must not underestimate yourself!"

Seeing her beaming with joy, Zhao Ye laughed and laughed along with her, joining in the fun and laughter.
