Chapter 84: Please help me, Your Majesty (Please read it later)
Gao Pan glanced at Xiao Wenzhang, whose brows moved slightly, with a serious expression.
Xiao Wenzhan did not respond to Xiao Chuyi, but just looked at Xie Chengyi.
"Father!" Xiao Chuyi was eager to get Xiao Wenzhan's approval.
Xie Chengyi replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty! Marriage is a major event in life, and you cannot act on impulse. Your Highness the Princess is still young and cannot distinguish between siblings and men and women. I failed to keep my distance from Your Highness the Princess. I deserve death!"
Xiao Chuyi looked at Xie Chengyi in astonishment, who kept rejecting her, and tears immediately fell.
Xiao Wenzhang's brows relaxed slightly, "Chuyi, you are already fifteen and you are not a child anymore, how can you tease Chengyi like this? It would be bad if Chengyi thinks too much."
When Xiao Chuyi was about to explain, Sheng Xinlan, who was stumbling and almost losing her composure, came running in from outside the door. She walked quickly and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Chuyi is ignorant and I am afraid that I disturbed you. I will take Chuyi back to the palace right away!"
Xiao Wenzhang glanced at Sheng Xinlan, whose eyes were wandering, and said faintly: "You should also pay more attention to Chuyi..."
"I obey your command." Sheng Xinlan went to pull Xiao Chuyi very obediently, and the moment she met her mother's eyes, Xiao Chuyi, who was about to act coquettishly, immediately became obedient, because she knew what her mother's eyes meant.
Reluctantly, Youren watched Xie Chengyi leave.
Xiao Wenzhang then said slowly, "Since you already have someone in your heart, I can't bear to separate you two. However, Ah Ying's family background is too poor, and she is really not worthy of being the general's legal wife."
Without waiting for Xiao Wenzhang to issue another decree, Xie Chengyi said bluntly: "Please grant me your Majesty's blessing!"
In this way, protecting the Xie family is also protecting A Ying.
Xiao Wen Zhang Ning asked: "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Then I won't urge you to get married anymore." Xiao Wenzhan said with relief.
Xie Chengyi lowered his eyes and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Xie Chengyi stood up and walked out of Xuanming Hall, Xiao Wenzhan's back suddenly softened a little.
Gao Pan approached lightly, "Your Majesty, please call the imperial physician."
Xiao Wenzhang waved his hand and said, "The imperial physician will follow the previous prescription. After the medicine is boiled, you can handle it yourself."
"Yes."
Gao Pan hesitated, but finally held back.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wenzhan could sense that something was wrong with Gao Pan without even looking at him.
Gao Pan was very submissive and said in confusion: "My mind is slow. Your Majesty, don't you want to use the general?"
Gao Pan didn't dare to say the last sentence, why it seemed like he was suppressed everywhere.
Xiao Wenzhang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "He has too many edges and corners. If I don't polish them, how can I use him?"
It was at this moment that Gao Pan felt that His Majesty seemed to have changed, and had become a little - suspicious.
Xiao Wenzhang slowly opened his eyes again, and he was obviously relieved. His eyes were deep and solemn. "Is Xia Chen back?"
Gao Pan immediately replied, "I'm already waiting outside the palace."
"Send him in!"
However, people in the marquis' mansion were already in a panic.
Despite all the attempts to hide it, the old lady still found out about Yulan's affair. She originally thought that her subordinates might have exaggerated the story, but when she saw Guan Yulan, she couldn't hold back her expression.
She walked towards Guan Yulan tremblingly, looked at the infatuated Guan Yulan, her eyes sore, and trembling voice said: "What's wrong with you, child? You have endured so many hardships, why did you become like this this time?"
Ah Ying went to help the old lady distressedly and comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry. Auntie is suffering from a heart disease. Maybe she will get better after the Marquis and the Prince come back."
"Oh! What a sin!" The old lady sighed angrily while leaning on her crutches.
At this moment, Wang Changyue's voice came from outside the door.
"The Marquis is back! The Marquis is back!"
Ah Ying was stunned and stood up immediately. The old lady's face cleared up, "Is Chongkun back?"
When the old lady looked around at the gate of Songhuayuan, she saw Xie Chongkun, who looked tired, in the distance.
"Son..." The old lady's eyes suddenly welled up in tears.
Xie Chongkun then walked quickly towards the old lady and knelt down before he even got to her. "I am an unfilial son and I have made you worry!"
The old lady beat Xie Chongkun with both heartache and anger, "You and Chengyi are worrying me to death!"
"Don't worry, everything is fine!" Xie Chongkun comforted.
"What about Chengyi?" the old lady asked anxiously.
Xie Chongkun said meaningfully: "He should still be in the palace now, just wait for him to come back."
The old lady had no choice but to nod.
Aying also had mixed feelings in his heart. Would he be in danger?
The old lady looked at her son worriedly, "Chongkun, go see Yulan..."
Xie Chongkun was helped up by Wang Changyue and asked in confusion, "Yulan?"
But from the look in his mother's eyes, he seemed to be able to sense what her mother meant.
Suddenly, his heart seemed to collapse and he walked quickly towards the inner hall of Songhua Courtyard.
Mother Wang had already tidied up Guan Yulan and she was sitting in a specially made wooden wheelchair.
But when Xie Chongkun saw Guan Yulan, his heart was still not calmed down, as if a stone had hit his heart hard, painful and empty...
The old lady saw her son at the door and explained, "She is worried about her children."
However, Xie Chongkun did not get close to Guan Yulan as the old lady hoped. Instead, he turned around and walked down the stairs.
"Chongkun?" The old lady looked at her son in disbelief.
Xie Chongkun said calmly, "Don't worry, mother. I will treat Yulan well."
But why did the old lady sound so cold when hearing these words?
Then, Xie Chongkun walked towards Songbaiyuan.
The old lady's earnest teachings were choked in her throat, and she didn't even have a chance to speak.
The servants in the mansion could see everything clearly, and they all guessed that the Marquis was taking this opportunity to get away from his wife who was controlling everything.
After A Ying sent the old lady back to Songheyuan, he quietly went into the side hall.
"Girl, what are you thinking about?" Su Jian asked softly.
Ah Ying laughed and said, "Su Jian, do you think all men are so fickle?"
"Hmm?" Su Jian didn't quite understand.
"Madam worked hard all her life, but ended up like this. The Marquis didn't even say a word of warmth to her and went to Liu Wutong. It's really heartbreaking to think about it, isn't it?" Aying murmured.
Su Jian seemed to be used to it. "The ladies in the capital, even those with prominent family backgrounds, cannot avoid suffering or troubles from family disputes, let alone the madam. You don't know that people outside say they envy the madam, because she has the protection of the marquis and not many concubines."
“Hehe…” Aying sneered.
"Perhaps this is a relief for you, Madam. At least you won't keep wasting your time..." Aying said, looking out the window.
It was also from the Madam that Ah Ying became more certain. She did not want to live such a life, nor did she want such a man. If he could not protect her from peace of mind, then she would never let herself suffer.
You can't be like Madam.
I can't be like my mother...
A Ying: My love, I only love one person
