Chapter 121 Xu Xingyin is eager to get married
"Start all over again..."
Chen rolled these words on his tongue, thought about them silently for a while, and finally nodded.
"I would. If your father wasn't there, maybe others would be the same. And, if it weren't for him, you and Chao Ge wouldn't be who you are. Compared to your father, you are your mother's most important concern."
"But we don't want you to suffer this kind of injustice because of us!"
"Are you wronged?"
Chen chuckled, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her chuckle for no reason.
"I don't feel wronged. If I had the chance to do it again, I wouldn't put him at the top of my heart anymore, so I wouldn't feel wronged."
"mother……"
Xu Xingyin murmured in a relaxed voice, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Chen's words.
"After so many years, I finally realized that love is really not important in a marriage, especially one-sided love."
Looking at her daughter's face which had become much thinner due to illness, Chen seemed to remember something and suddenly grabbed Xu Xingyin's hand, speaking slowly and firmly:
"Jiaojiao, this is especially true for the East Palace. His Royal Highness is the future crown prince, the supreme ruler of the world, and although you are the crown princess, you may not be his favorite. Remember, no matter how passionate your love is, it will eventually turn into the mundane daily necessities of life. Rather than letting your passion slowly dissipate into dust, it is better not to expect anything from the beginning."
After saying this, Chen didn't care about Xu Xingyin's expression. She was the first to leave the house in a daze, supported by her maid.
Xu Xingyin was speechless as he watched Chen's gradually disappearing figure.
After going through so many ups and downs, Chen's past beauty was shattered, forcing her to make changes.
Chen, who used to be so forthright, has now learned to be defensive and give in;
Xu Chen, who was gentle and considerate in front of Xu Xiuzhu, now just wanted to be a stable wife of a duke;
The mother who wanted her children to be happy now only teaches them how to protect themselves...
This world is so ironic.
Xu Xingyin was just sighing when he heard someone pushing the door open.
It was obvious that Chen was unlikely to come back today. Dan Feng had just been sent out by Chen. I guess he came in to serve her after seeing Chen leave.
"Dan Feng, get me a glass of water."
Xu Xingyin was dozing off on the bed with a pillow leaning against it when he heard footsteps slowly approaching and placed the cup on the low table beside the bed.
"You are good at ordering people around."
A clear male voice sounded, startling Xu Xingyin so much that she jumped up from the bed and bumped her head against the bed frame. She saw Jing Zhichen standing there in a royal blue brocade robe, with a half-smile on his face, as if he was saying that she was stupid.
Xu Xingyin didn't dare to question him directly. He just rubbed his head and looked at Jing Zhichen.
"You...how come Your Highness is here?"
"I have something important to say."
Jing Zhichen looked so serious that Xu Xingyin had no doubt at all and asked hurriedly:
"What's going on? Is there any movement in Jiangnan?"
"No."
Jing Zhichen shook his head. "But it is precisely because there is no movement over there that I find it strange. So if I go to Jiangnan rashly now, I am afraid those villains have already taken precautions. Rather than alerting them, I think it is better to change a method. I have discussed this matter with my father, and now I will tell you again."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"I'm afraid the original plan is no longer feasible. It would be better to wait for some time until you and I are married, and then go out together under the pretext of traveling. Firstly, they will relax their vigilance over time; secondly, a newlywed outing can be considered a legitimate excuse, and it will make people less alert than an imperial envoy traveling."
The original time was set for after the New Year, but now it has been delayed to an unknown time. If they arrive one day later, the entire Chen family will have to endure one more day in jail. Xu Xingyin couldn't help feeling depressed whenever he thought of this.
In addition, my health has not been very good these days, so I speak without thinking.
"So when can we get married?"
The girl's voice, with a hint of urgency, fell into Jing Zhichen's ears, and inexplicably carried a hint of tenderness.
His eyes flashed unconsciously, and even his ears were tinged with a barely perceptible burning sensation.
"The date was already calculated by the Imperial Observatory, how can it be changed at will?"
After Jing Zhichen said this, Xu Xingyin remembered that the wedding date had already been set, but she was only thinking about returning to Jiangnan and had never paid attention to it.
In this case, she didn't want to ask any more questions, otherwise it would seem like she didn't care, so she could only nod.
"I was too impatient."
"It doesn't matter."
Jing Zhichen glanced around and finally stopped at the medicine bowl on the small table. "I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, so I brought a box of tonic medicine and gave it to your maid just now. Get well soon. I have already started to make arrangements for Empress Lu. Since you want to watch the fun, you can't go there sick."
Xu Xingyin focused on the second half of Jing Zhichen's sentence and grinned happily.
"Of course, the capital will be bustling again."
……
After that day, Xu Xingyin, whose depression had been relieved, soon became full of energy thanks to the dual nourishment of supplements and medicinal soups.
The Seventh Miss has just recovered from a serious illness, and the entire Duke's Mansion is filled with joy.
Only the room of the third wife, Mrs. Wang, was filled with gloom and sadness.
Aunt Zhang has given Old Madam Xu many good ideas and is now highly valued by her.
As soon as Aunt Zhang gained power, she secretly stopped the medicine. She was discovered by the Third Lady and was severely punished. Little did she know that Aunt Zhang was already pregnant. Naturally, she lost the child after being tormented like this.
When Old Madam Xu learned about this, she was furious. For the first time, she scolded the Third Madam without any regard for her dignity. She also strictly forbade the Third Madam's concubines to take contraceptive soup anymore, saying that the most important thing for the Third Madam was to continue the family line.
Not only did she humiliate the Third Madam, she also turned around and picked out a few expensive supplements to send to Aunt Zhang, so that everyone in the Duke's Mansion could see Madam Xu's attitude.
The third wife had never suffered such an injustice before, and she was so angry that she returned to her parents' home that day.
As a result, she waited and waited but the Third Master never showed up to pick her up. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, she couldn't stay at her parents' home for the New Year, so she had to return to the Duke's Mansion in despair.
When Xu Xingyin heard Dangui's report, he laughed so hard that he almost fell off the couch.
Dangui gently lifted up the tilted pillow and gently reminded Xu Xingyin:
"Miss, don't just watch the fun and forget the important things."
The girl who was laughing happily was stunned when she heard the words. She tilted her head and looked a bit naive and ignorant. Xu Xingyin thought carefully for a while and finally understood what the important thing Dangui was talking about.
She and Jing Zhichen are now an engaged couple. According to Dayan's customs, Xu Xingyin can give Jing Zhichen a New Year gift during the New Year, in a legitimate way.
