linfengchun - Capítulo 92
"You saw it? That's her?" Tears welled up on her beautiful face, and she almost lost control of her emotions. "How can it still be her? How could she have become a young lady of the Prince's Mansion?"
“They’re already married.” Bai Kunyu had the same doubts in his heart, but he could only suppress them. “Today, the northern and southern forces are uniting through marriage. Don’t do anything foolish.”
"I don't believe it. She's clearly that witch. She just changed her name and identity, pretending to be a lady from a noble family, deceiving everyone." Her voice choked, almost bursting out of the secret.
"Young Master Bai, Miss Bai." The gentle young man nodded and smiled from a distance. "You've come from afar to offer your congratulations. I apologize for not being able to entertain you properly. Please have a few more drinks."
"Young Master Jun, you're too kind." Bai Kunyu didn't dare to be negligent and didn't even bother to have his sister bow to him.
Bai Fengge turned her head and suddenly spoke. "May I ask, Miss Jun..."
"Although Pianxian is my sworn sister, she is as close as a sibling. Today, she is happily married into the Xie family, which not only ends the unrequited love of the Third Young Master Xie, but also creates a beautiful story in Xijing and Yangzhou. It is truly a blessing for both families." Jun Suiyu interrupted the question lightly and responded politely.
Bai Kunyu's smile was somewhat bitter. "Young Master Jun is right. Not to mention that our family received your kindness in the past, even just considering the friendship between our two families, the Bai family sincerely congratulates you. Please forgive any rudeness."
"Thank you for your kind invitation, Young Master Bai."
Jun Suiyu smiled gently. The little dog that had caused such a big trouble a moment ago was now lying obediently in his arms, its round black eyes glaring at Bai Fengge, whimpering a few times in dissatisfaction. He patted its snow-white fur lightly and turned to leave.
Bai Fengge, lost in thought and in tears, was silently led away by her brother.
The blue owl and black harrier in the distance exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
The silver swan and the green falcon were facing someone else entirely.
"Your Highness?" Bi Jun gave a forced smile.
Chishu felt a pang of sadness. "It really was her."
"I heard that Your Highness is about to return to the country, and you actually remembered to send a congratulatory gift. That's really rare," Yin Hu said jokingly, arms crossed.
Chi Shu smiled and sighed. "I was just curious what kind of woman could surpass her and make Young Master Xie change his mind. It turns out it's the same old woman."
"I didn't expect Your Highness to be so concerned," Bi Jun said sarcastically.
"Isn't Yan Rong already here?" Yin Hu scrutinized the other's expression, noticing a hint of disappointment. "The boss has already asked Yan Rong and agreed to let her return to Kucha with you."
It is said that Chishu met Yanrong by chance on the street. After pursuing her relentlessly, he finally won her heart. Just then, the King of Kucha sent an envoy with generous gifts to smooth things over, and the court granted Chishu permission to return home. He would soon be leaving the Central Plains.
“I thought…” Chishu didn’t finish his sentence.
Silver Swan smiled knowingly, understanding the situation perfectly.
Yan Rong's appearance may have once been somewhat similar, but now they are worlds apart. It would be better if she didn't see her; seeing her again would surely bring immense sorrow.
"Your Highness should return to Kucha as soon as possible to stabilize the situation." After all, they were both from Tianshan, and Yin Hu hoped that such a gentle woman would find a good home, so he rarely offered this advice. "Please treat Yan Rong well, Your Highness. If you mistreat her, the Lord will be displeased."
Chishu nodded without saying another word.
Within the clenched palm, a perfectly round pearl quietly gleamed.
He waited and waited on the wedding bed, almost falling asleep, when finally he heard laughter and chatter. A drunken man was helped in by several brothers and placed on the bed.
After everyone had left, she closed the door and poured herself a cup of tea. Just as she approached, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a strong chest. The teacup fell onto the red carpet. A handsome man smiled at her, his bright eyes showing no signs of drunkenness.
"You're not drunk?" There was a strong smell of alcohol on you.
"It's just for show. How could I bear to get drunk on such a wonderful day?" He turned the beautiful woman over, took off her heavy phoenix crown, and her black hair flowed like water. Her red dress and beautiful face were stunning. He was captivated by her beauty.
The banquet was filled with music and laughter, red candles burned high and silk curtains hung low, and a beautiful woman in her finest attire, smiling gently, was in his arms—it felt like a scene from a dream. After years of pursuit, he had finally achieved his goal, and he was speechless.
"lightly?"
"Um?"
"lightly?"
"Um."
"lightly?"
"………Um………"
He cupped her delicate face in his slender hands, his smile growing ever brighter.
Staring blankly into those bright, star-like eyes, her own eyes gradually reddened. She raised her hand to untie her crown, revealing her long, jet-black hair, tangled and intertwined. With a slender finger, she picked out a strand and tied it into a knot, giving a gentle, shy smile.
We became husband and wife, and our love for each other is unwavering.
Joy fills this evening, a time of beauty and auspiciousness.
The dragon and phoenix candles burned quietly, illuminating a pair of empty wine cups on the table.
The night was deep and spring was in full bloom; within the bridal chamber, boundless affection filled the air.
Author's Note: Happy Valentine's Day to all my dear readers! Thank you for your unwavering support; I'm so touched I could cry!
I feel really guilty for dragging out the ending, mainly because I had to wait for the editor to approve it, and I still haven't heard anything. I'm so upset!
It seems my writing skills are too poor, so I've given up. I'll resume updating every two days until the entire story is published.
P.S. Those hoping for Xiaoye to be all-powerful after marriage can use this chapter as the ending—_—, I don't want to get punished...
Originally, marriage should have been the end, but I felt that Xiaoye's personality transformation was only half revealed, hence the post-marital supplement.
As for whether the repairs will satisfy everyone, I really have no idea... So... please don't criticize!
A certain purple creature trembled slightly and crawled away.
Extra Chapter - Drunken
The pungent, blood-red color seemed to have gained a different flavor.
Whose arm is that? Strong and powerful, gripping so tightly, refusing to let go.
Who is it?
With the help of the maid, he sat up, still feeling drowsy and his mind heavy and foggy.
Sunlight streamed through the window. She hadn't paid attention to the passing of time for a long time, and she sat in a daze, hugging the silk quilt.
She pressed her slender fingers to her temple, trying to clear her mind; she could barely remember how the dream had shattered. The prolonged drowsiness had left her feeling inexplicably disoriented…
“Pianqian.” The warm hand removed her slender fingers. She was slightly startled and found herself sitting in the courtyard. On the stage in front of her, the singing and music were still going strong. The dancers’ long sleeves fluttered and swirled, each step and movement captivating.
The man beside her smiled gently. "Tired?"
She gave a low reply, her clear black and white eyes wandering, unable to focus, as if something had flashed by.
"It's fine if you want to sleep," Jun Suiyu said gently and considerately. "Or I can have them disperse."
With only two people watching under the huge stage, it did seem rather empty.
She shook her head slightly, propped her chin on her hand, and began to drift off into thought again.
Listening to the melodious and gentle music, she suddenly asked, "How long have I been here?"
Jun Suiyu gazed at her and softly gave the answer. She felt a slight daze; had so much time passed without her realizing it? Unconsciously, she picked up the melon seeds from the plate and peeled them one by one, vaguely recalling a pair of deep, bright eyes…
"...Young Master Xie of Yangzhou has recently encountered some trouble." Jun Suiyu's unhurried words drew attention back, as if he were chatting casually. "Somehow, his connection with the Demonic Sect was exposed, and the rumors are spreading like wildfire in the martial arts world."
After pausing for a while, she picked up the peeled melon seeds and put them in her mouth, but couldn't tell what they tasted like.
"In recent years, he has been single-mindedly expanding his power, offending many people. There are countless people who are envious and jealous. This incident has given others a perfect excuse to make things difficult for him in the eye of the storm."
"he………"
“He did nothing.” The words carried a subtle implication. “Perhaps it’s difficult to deal with baseless rumors, and given his situation, it’s not convenient for him to do anything; it would only make things worse.”
…There must be a way…What is he thinking?
Unconsciously, she furrowed her brows, feeling inexplicably stifled.
Why are you telling me?
Jun Suiyu remained calm. "I think you might want to know."
Or rather... someone wanted her to know, at such a cost.
"If this continues, he will be ruined." He said this once and then said no more.
Her beautiful face fell into deep thought, and her dark eyes were no longer empty.
After glancing at it briefly, Jun Suiyu smiled slightly and began cracking sunflower seeds as well.
"How is Pianxian doing these days?"
"Reporting to the young master, after Miss sent someone to the north, she slept a little less than usual."
She could not possibly make a mistake if she handled it herself. The details reported by her subordinates were so skillful that they were admirable. But... that was not all he wanted.
How long would it take that person to find this place, given their abilities?
Do you need any more hints?
Time is running out, what if that person can't handle it...?
A silent sigh escaped, a lingering hesitation and indecision.
Whether it was taking medicine, acupuncture, or nourishing soups, she accepted it all with equanimity. Beneath this docile and cooperative exterior lay a deep indifference and apathy towards herself. She didn't care about life or death, merely giving him a chance to express his feelings and slightly alleviate his guilt. With such a cold-hearted nature, apart from that person in Yangzhou, who else in the world could she feel any attachment to?
But can one really let go of their family background?
Her condition was so bad that, unfortunately, things turned out differently...
Although the other party doesn't seem to be a heartless person, things are still unpredictable.
"Frosty Mirror".
"Your subordinate is here."
"Go and recognize the emblem of the Xie family in Yangzhou. If the third young master of the Xie family comes looking for you in the future, you can follow Pianxian's arrangements and report back afterwards."
"yes."
Perhaps letting things take their natural course is the best option.
Xie Yunshu... You absolutely must not disappoint people.
