Chapter 219 I'll Let You Go
It was a rare day of good weather when the Zhou envoys left Beijing.
With the best treatment every day, Wen Jiu's injuries recovered quickly. On the day the delegation left Beijing, he was already full of energy.
"Sister, don't worry, they haven't left yet!" Seeing Qiao Shinian frowning, Wen Jiu spoke.
Qiao Shinian looked up at Wen Jiu, and seeing the sincerity and comfort in his eyes, she didn't know what to say.
She wasn't worried about whether Mo Cheng had left.
Rather, when she sees Mo Cheng, what kind of mentality should she have when saying goodbye to him.
It's time to say goodbye. The next time we meet will probably be when the two countries are at war.
Everything in the Zhou Kingdom will become part of history with Mo Cheng's departure.
but……
Qiao Shinian clenched her sleeves. She thought of Princess Ping'an and how she had a part in the conspiracy against Mu Qingchen.
The rules of this era do not limit how many women a man can marry. The rules of this era...
She lowered her eyes. Sometimes, when she thought too much, she always felt that she was the one who killed Mu Qingchen.
"Wen Jiu, you will..."
Qiao Shinian only said half of the sentence and didn't ask any more questions.
She looked at Wen Jiu. It should be said that in this era, the person who was most influenced by her was Wen Jiu.
"What will happen to me in the future?" Wen Jiu asked with a smile. It was obvious that he was very happy to go out alone with Qiao Shinian.
"Your future wife...how many people do you plan to marry in the future?" Qiao Shinian lowered her head after asking. She didn't want to know the answer.
It turned out that she was thinking too shallowly. She wanted to change this era with her passion, wanted to change all the unfairness, wanted to make women no longer feel afraid, and have the ability to make a living like in modern times without having to rely on men.
but……
Qiao Shinian knew that he was not ready yet, and was not ready for the bloodshed and sacrifice of many people.
She seemed to be cowardly again.
"Me? It depends on the situation. My ideal is to be alone. I just want to be with the person I love the most." Wen Jiu said with a smile, but his tone was quite serious. "Since you asked me this, you must know that this is just an ideal state. So, it depends on the future needs. But I will balance my backyard and will not let my wife be affected by staying at home."
At this point, Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian: "Sister, do you believe me?"
"Hmm?" When Qiao Shinian was called by Wen Jiu, he looked up and saw him looking at him seriously.
"I may have several concubines, but I only have one wife. I belong to my wife in this life and will not touch anyone else. Those concubines must have interests related to me and will definitely choose to leave me when I become successful. And their families will get the investment benefits that belong to them."
Qiao Shinian didn't know when Wen Jiu held her hand. She looked at Wen Jiu for a long time before she asked tentatively, "Is it what I thought?"
"Yes." Wen Jiu nodded confidently. At this moment, the boy's eyes showed not only confidence but also maturity: "Sister, this is still a feudal dynasty. Most of us are helpless, but we can make ourselves feel comfortable to a certain extent. Idealism is beautiful, but reality is more cruel."
"I know." Qiao Shinian lowered his head and looked at the hands covering the back of his hand. These hands did not look like those of a pampered prince. These hands were not very beautiful, and there was a scar on the back of his hand left by a burn.
"I'm afraid you will be too deeply influenced by me and will suffer in the future." Qiao Shinian's voice was filled with confusion and worry.
Wen Jiu moved to Qiao Shinian's side and said nonchalantly, "Everyone should pay the corresponding price for their choice, not only me, but also Cao Yue and the others. They choose to believe in you, so they have to endure the malice and even persecution from other people with different ideas.
You just give the choice, and we are the ones who make the choice, sister."
Qiao Shinian did not answer. She was struggling. The peaceful thoughts of modern times and the cruel living environment of ancient times were fighting each other. She knew that the winner would be the feudal era.
She had understood the deepest meaning of these days' wild thoughts and these days' self-condemnation.
She began to gradually assimilate into this era, and going home every three months was like reminiscing about her past self who lived in peacetime.
In the midst of a period of wandering thoughts, the carriage stopped.
Qiao Shinian opened the car window and looked outside. The people from the delegation were moving things, while Mo Cheng was already riding on his horse, looking indifferently at the busy soldiers, with deep brows and eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Sister, please get off the car." Wen Jiu had already lifted the curtain and extended his hand to invite her.
Qiao Shinian retracted his gaze, smiled, and helped Wen Jiu get off the carriage.
When Mo Cheng looked over, his eyes were slightly surprised, and then he dismounted and saluted Wen Jiu with his fists: "Prince Yongle."
"It seems that if we are a step later, I will have no choice but to chase Envoy Mo outside the city to see you off!" Wen Jiu said with a smile, "It's freezing and snowy here, why leave so early? Why not wait until spring comes and the flowers bloom? We can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way."
"Your Highness Prince Yongle is joking." Mo Cheng answered seriously, but his eyes fell on Qiao Shinian. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, please take care of yourself in the future."
Qiao Shinian nodded: "I will."
"These are the words my brother asked me to pass on to you." Mo Cheng then said.
Qiao Shinian still nodded, with some nostalgia in his voice: "Please also tell him to take care of himself for me."
Wen Jiu was standing next to him and looking at Mo Cheng with a smile. Mo Cheng could see that there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
Mo Cheng didn't know what Wen Jiu was feeling sorry about.
"Forget it, since my sister has decided to let you go this time, I shouldn't be a mean person and secretly play a trick on you." Wen Jiu sighed, "I wanted to leave you a little prank, but after thinking about it, it would make me look too petty if I did it."
Mo Cheng looked at Wen Jiu in confusion, but when he thought about what Wen Jiu had just said, his face darkened: "What do you mean?"
Qiao Shinian hooked his finger at Mo Cheng and said, "By the way, before I leave, I would like to ask you to bring a message to Consort Xian and Consort Liu. Please come closer. These words should not be known to others."
Mo Cheng frowned and took a step forward, and saw Qiao Shinian tiptoeing slightly: "I wanted to let you stay in Chu Wen Kingdom forever and give them a heavy blow, but after thinking about it, I didn't actually repay the favor I owed your brother, so I will let you go.
Mo Cheng, go back and tell them that they must, must live well, must live healthily! I will go and settle old scores with them. I will settle all the things they did to Mu Qingchen! On the day when the Zhou Kingdom is destroyed!"
Qiao Shinian's voice was very soft. Xiao Dao Mo Cheng could sense her hatred but he had to listen carefully to hear clearly what she was saying!
After hearing what Qiao Shinian said, Mo Cheng's eyes became murderous. He stared at Qiao Shinian and said, "No matter who you are, just come over here and see who will live and die between us!"
Qiao Shinian just smiled, took a token and a handkerchief from Yingzhu and handed them to Wen Jiu. Wen Jiu smiled at Qiao Shinian obediently: "Sister, you are so kind. Let's keep them for ourselves. We can sell them for a lot of money."
When Mo Cheng saw these two things, his originally stern look gradually changed.
"Here, Envoy Mo is really a man who should keep his belongings safe even when he is having fun! You said it's a good thing we found it, otherwise it would have fallen in a place where it shouldn't have fallen, and you wouldn't be able to explain it even if you had a mouth!"
Mo Cheng gritted his teeth and took the jade pendant and handkerchief: "Thank you, Prince Yongle!"
After saying this, he was startled and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, Qiao Shinian agreed with Feng Tianmo's plan, and even wanted to do so at one point.
In the end, she chose to return a favor to Mo Lin.
