She was the illegitimate daughter of the prefect. Her father, appreciating a certain general, betrothed his daughter to him and introduced him to Prince Xian. Living up to expectations, he became a...
Xu, who had just woken up, hurriedly knelt down in front of Yuan Xueyue!
Seeing her get on the bed, Yuan Xueyue stepped forward and said, "No need to be so polite."
Zhong Wulian was still supporting her mother Xu, and the mother and daughter kowtowed devoutly to Yuan Xueyue!
"It's as you should. As a princess, you deserve such a great gift. What's more, you saved my life!" said Xu.
Thinking of the time when Yuan Xueyue was the eldest daughter of the Yuan family living in the backyard of the Zhong Mansion, Xu was filled with jealousy and wanted to come up and ask her some questions.
Unexpectedly, after the conversation, Yuan Xueyue was so friendly that Xu couldn't find any problems!
Now, the other party has even saved himself!
After years of superficial interactions, Xu didn't feel that she had a good relationship with the princess at all. She just felt that she could not compare with her beauty at all!
Kneeling down to worship the princess like this has always been Xu's wish!
"Get up, I'm glad you're okay. Miss Lian was most worried about you." Yuan Xueyue waved her hand and sat down on a soft couch beside her.
Ju Changsong and Ju Nian'er next to them also sat down.
The servant went to bring other chairs, and the maid also prepared tea and poured it.
After hearing this, Xu felt warm in her heart. She and Zhong Wulian stood up and sat back on the couch. Xu was half lying on the bed. She still looked a little weak, but she was finally much more awake.
Xu said, "I know that all this is thanks to the princess. Wulian only had the opportunity to see the princess and ask for help because she met Master Changsong. Otherwise, we would have been tortured to death just like the second and third wives!"
After saying this, Xu clasped her hands together, still feeling the lingering fear, her heart pounding with nervousness.
A feeling of surviving a disaster.
Yuan Xueyue, "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now. You can rest assured and recover from your injuries. We can talk about the future later."
Zhong Wulian smiled, looked at Xu happily and said, "Mother! Look, Aunt Princess is such a nice person!"
"These past few days in the palace, seeing you getting better day by day, and with the company of Master Changsong and Miss Nian'er, Wu Lian is no longer afraid."
"I'm afraid you won't wake up, mother."
Xu smiled bitterly.
"How could that be? Wu Lian is the most obedient and the smartest. Now we are the only ones left, mother and daughter, to depend on each other. We can't just rely on the princess in the future. Also, she is the princess, so we can't call her aunt." said Xu.
Ju Nian'er blinked her eyes and said, "You can shout! My second brother and I also shouted like that."
Seeing the two children in front of her, and the Crown Prince and the Second Prince not far away, Xu was surprised.
How can there be so many children?
Xu had heard about the Guo family in the Guo Mansion in the capital a long time ago, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she thought about Yuan Xueyue's generosity in taking her in.
"This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Xu was full of worry.
Zhong Wulian asked, "What is mother worried about? The princess allowed us to call her that."
Xu said, "You can't do this. Young Master Changsong is different from Miss Nian'er. Wulian, you must listen to your mother and not act recklessly! Where does this put the prince's dignity?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became tense.
Zhong Wulian was slightly startled, but she still chose to obey her mother's words, "Yes, Wulian knows I was wrong."
Yuan Xueyue was very surprised, "Why don't you let the child cry? You can let Wulian grow up with Changsong and the others, and you can spend the rest of your life with them."
Hearing this, Xu felt warm in her heart.
But when I think of Ju Niu'er's fate, I'm afraid someone will plot against her!
If she were a princess, the prince would definitely be there to take care of her and do his utmost to take care of everything.
If Xu and Zhong Wulian were envied by others, it would be difficult for them to be taken care of.
You can't stay in the palace all your life, right?
She, Xu, was born into a noble family. She was not the kind of woman who could easily compete with her elders, nor was she the kind of woman who would take advantage of others or cling to the powerful.
She is inherently proud and stubborn.
The only thing he was jealous of was Yuan Xueyue at first, but he accepted it calmly afterwards.
This is fate.
It’s all because Xu was tied up in the Zhong Mansion for most of her life. After finally escaping death, she just wants to live an ordinary life.
"No, Princess, you are very kind, I know, but Wu Lian and I cannot accept gifts without merit, so we can't enjoy the things in your palace for no reason."
"Since you, Princess, want to help me so much, please bring me the divorce letter from the Zhong Mansion for the last time. Mr. Zhong is my husband, and he is so crazy and happy. He doesn't have much time left."
"Let us, mother and daughter, live the rest of our lives together in peace."
As soon as Xu finished speaking, Yuan Xueyue's eyes were full of light!
These words are so similar to myself when I didn’t know Dai Yixuan’s feelings and hadn’t met Dai Yixuan, and I longed for the simplest and most ordinary days!
I don’t want to fight with those good and bad people in the Guo Mansion all my life!
I just want to get a divorce and stay away from this world!
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and Ju Nian'er said, "Sister Lian, are you leaving?"
Zhong Wulian looked over and nodded.
"Yes, I listened to my mother. We can't accept rewards without merit. It's good to rely on the palace, but we have no relationship and no reason. The princess saved my mother, which is great. I expect too much."
"Mother is right. Your daughter listens to you."
Zhong Wulian leaned on Xu's arm, holding her arm and leaning on it.
Mother and daughter just need to depend on each other.
There's no need for anything extra; they've seen a lot.
Xu also didn't want to face the overly beautiful picture of Yuan Xueyue. Next, she would probably know the prince's situation. Even if it was dangerous or successful, it had nothing to do with them.
It would be better to stay away from the world and live a carefree life.
Yuan Xueyue thought for a moment and said,
"Well, since you've made up your mind, we can't force you to stay. Wait a few days until you're fully recovered, and we'll send some guards to safely escort you back to your hometown in the mountains and fields. We'll also bring you some money and silver, enough for the rest of your lives."
After she finished speaking, Xu's eyes were already blurred.
"I am so grateful!" Xu bowed sideways on the bed, then covered her face and shed tears.
The mother and daughter were very grateful. Looking at the scene of them hugging each other and crying, Yuan Xueyue felt bitter in her heart.
This was as if it was her former self. Although Wu Lian was much older now, Yuan Xueyue was undoubtedly saving her younger self by doing this.
If there had been such a noble person to help herself and her mother, her mother would not have been killed by Fang and her father!
I hope that my mother in heaven can understand Yuan Xueyue’s inner desire.
Seeing the scene of Xu and Zhong Wulian hugging each other, Yuan Xueyue felt sincerely happy.
Finally, I got back an opportunity I had in my childhood. Even if I didn't have it, I hope Zhong Wulian won't be as miserable as I am.
After all, not everyone can meet Dai Yixuan.
