Chapter 188 Reconciliation
On the day Qiao Shinian returned, she met Mu Qingchen.
Although she was prepared to be questioned by him again, Qiao Shinian's heart couldn't help but tighten when she saw Mu Qingchen.
After not seeing each other for more than 20 days, although Mu Qingchen's face had been renovated, his protruding cheekbones and thin figure showed that he had not had a good life these days.
"Yo yo." The two stood at the door for a long time, and finally Mu Qingchen spoke first, "Can I come in?"
"Yeah." Qiao Shinian moved aside, and after Mu Qingchen entered the room, she saw someone standing in the aisle.
Cao Yue mouthed to Qiao Shinian, "If anything happens, just yell and I'll rush in and take you away."
Qiao Shinian nodded and then closed the door.
Mu Qingchen stood there looking at her, with fatigue and familiar gentleness in his eyes.
"I can't forgive you for what you did, but I love you, so I can't forgive myself for not realizing your plan in advance." Mu Qingchen's voice was filled with pain. After a long time, he reached out and held Qiao Shinian's hands: "This is the first and last time. You can't hurt my family again. Let time heal this wound."
"Okay." Qiao Shinian nodded and said, "I promise you that I will never do anything to hurt your family in the future. I promise that I will never work with Wen Jiu to hurt your mother, your brother, your grandfather, and your uncle again."
"This time, I was wrong. Mu Qingchen, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was so important to you. I thought you would hate her birth. I thought that if she died, you wouldn't be hurt." Qiao Shinian looked up at Mu Qingchen and reached out to touch his thin cheek.
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything."
Mu Qingchen didn't say anything, but just hugged Qiao Shinian tightly: "No matter what, she is my mother. I can't hurt her, and I don't want her to get hurt."
In the hot June, as the sun sets, the time for Qiao Shinian to go home gradually approaches.
Wen Jiu silently watched the two people who had reconciled. He always had a faint smile on his face when he looked at Mu Qingchen.
Only he knew how much he wanted the two of them to separate at this moment.
The more he saw Qiao Shinian and Mu Qingchen's tacit and intimate actions, the more his heart ached as if it were being bitten by ants.
It was obviously his, but because of his damn age, the person he loved most was about to become someone else's bride.
At night, Wen Jiu finally got rid of Mu Qingchen and lived in the same room with Qiao Shinian as he wished.
"Wen Jiu, our wedding has been postponed to September."
"Ah."
Wen Jiu lay on the floor with his eyes open, looking at the blurry beams.
"Concubine Liu... How is she? Is she okay?"
"It's okay, he's not dead, just half crazy." Wen Jiu replied casually.
"how about you?"
"Very good, there is food and drink."
After Qiao Shinian was silent for a long time, she asked, "Am I very love-brained?"
"No, you are just pursuing love. There is nothing wrong with pursuing love. Sister, don't worry, I will fulfill your wish for you."
Listening to Wen Jiu's usual tone, Qiao Shinian sat up and looked at Wen Jiu lying on the ground: "From now on, I will live an ordinary life with Mu Qingchen, and I will not participate in your political struggle. But, I will always pay attention to you, and we can still be the same as before, okay?"
Wen Jiu also stood up. He took Qiao Shinian's hand and placed it on his head, and replied very obediently: "You will always be the most important person to me. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
Qiao Shinian's guilty heart became even more entangled and irritated after hearing Wen Jiu's answer. It was she who wanted to participate in Wen Jiu's life and connect to Wen Jiu's world. Now that she has found true love, she just walked away, leaving Wen Jiu alone to fight for the world she wanted.
"What do you think of Mu Qingchen? Do you like him? I seem to have never asked for your opinion. I just started a relationship on my own and I'm going to start a family soon."
"That's great. He treats you well, so he treats me well too. I quite like him." Wen Jiu rubbed Qiao Shinian's hand gently with his cheek.
"It's not easy to kill him, otherwise he would have died a cowardly death now! What a thing! You actually yelled at you for a brainless and stupid princess!"
"Really? I'm glad you like him. There will be less friction when we get along with each other in the future." Qiao Shinian pinched Wen Jiu's cheek, "You've lost some weight. Eat more. Don't skimp on food to grow stronger."
"I'm not saving, it's not the rice in my house, so of course I eat more. It's just that I'm growing taller, so I look thin. I have flesh on my body. Touch my waist and see if it's all flesh." After saying that, he stood up and asked Qiao Shinian to pinch his waist.
Qiao Shinian measured himself with his hand and it seemed that he was indeed not thin.
"I promised him that I would not be involved in political affairs in the future, so you will have to handle it alone from now on." Qiao Shinian patted Wen Jiu's back and said, "Lie down."
"Yes, no problem. Sister, believe me, I will be a very powerful person in the future and will definitely be able to protect you two."
'Fuck! Ha! You're still a mother. I haven't taken care of him for so many years. I haven't cared about him for so many years, but he still comes up to me and lets people lead him by the nose! Such a stupid guy, what qualifications do you have to marry you! I'll kill him as soon as I can in two years!'
Wen Jiu said good night to Qiao Shinian with a smile, and was silently thinking about how to kill Mu Qingchen without anyone noticing when he became powerful in the future.
Mu Qingchen had been kind to him, so he could tolerate Mu Qingchen and Qiao Shinian's love affair. But ever since Qiao Shinian left the Xianwang Mansion alone late at night, he had been planning how to separate the two and finally let his mentor die with a smile!
Since the two cannot be separated, then just wait and wait.
·
The lights and decorations at Prince Xian's mansion let everyone passing by know that it was preparation for a big wedding. Although the death of Princess Yu'an was still lingering on Mu Qingchen's mind, the two of them tacitly chose not to mention it again, waiting for time to heal the scars of this incident.
All the great and small people in the capital knew that the virtuous prince was about to get married, but none of them had received an invitation from the prince's palace.
Duke Liu came and scolded Mu Qingchen several times, saying how could a prince marry a lowly maid of unknown origin? This was a disgrace to the family.
Finally, Duke Liu, who could not be persuaded, publicly declared that he had severed ties with the virtuous King Mu Qingchen.
The marriage has been going on quietly, just waiting for the auspicious day to arrive.
Qiao Shinian stared in a daze at the wedding dress and phoenix crown hanging in the bedroom.
Is she really ready to marry Mu Qingchen? Will Mu Qingchen really give up everything and follow her to Chuwen Kingdom? What if Mu Qingchen can't let go of Concubine Liu of Zhou Kingdom?
“I don’t know if Wen Jiu has gained any insights from reading those military books. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of our time.” Qiao Shinian held up the phoenix crown, looking at the exquisite stitching and carvings on it, feeling inexplicably uncertain.
"Mu Qingchen won't lie to me. I should firmly believe in him. I just have a fear of marriage now. It's okay. Relax."
