"You... are going to the north?" Mu Zhanpeng was not so stupid as to not understand, but he just didn't dare to believe what he heard.
Xia Jinxiu nodded, "Yes, my lord went there because of me, so I naturally can't live a carefree life in the capital."
"Miss Jinxiu, you don't have to do this. Besides, your family is all here. They are finally reunited. Why are you doing this?"
"My Lord, I have made up my mind. Wherever you go, I will go."
[Wow, is my little aunt going to actively pursue her husband? Lord Mu, you still don’t understand this, tsk tsk tsk, my little aunt has taken a fancy to you. ]
But Mu Zhanpeng is indeed a very good man. Just for what he did, he is someone worth entrusting your life to.
The only difference is that it’s a second marriage.
"Master Mu, don't you understand what my aunt means?" Xia Zhiliao smiled playfully, "Oh no, I should call you that soon!"
Xia Jinxiu's face turned red due to the little girl's teasing, "I know."
Xia Zhiliao quickly shut his mouth and shook his head, "I didn't say anything."
Just when Xia Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, the little girl said again: "It's time to eat wedding candy."
Mu Zhanpeng looked at Xia Jinxiu. What else did he not understand? "Miss Jinxiu, you should go back and discuss this with your family."
"No, I can make my own decisions. Or do you dislike Jinxiu, Master Mu?"
"How could that be? I'd love to have you, but you can see my situation. I'm not worthy of a girl."
"Why not? My Lord, you are a man of integrity. Just in this matter, you have shown me a man's integrity and responsibility. My Lord, if you don't mind, then let me go to the North with you."
"This..." Mu Zhanpeng didn't expect Xia Jinxiu to be so proactive. "If the lady doesn't mind, then it's Mu who is marrying above her station. What else can I say?"
Xia Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Mu Zhanpeng was different.
She didn't expect that the person she was looking for was right in front of her.
Xia Zhiliao chuckled and said, it was just what happened.
After Xia Jinxiu and Xia Zhiliao returned home, they gathered the whole family together.
"Jinxiu, is everything okay for you to go to the palace this time?"
Old Mrs. Xia asked.
Wei Rong also looked at her with concern, "The emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Xia Jinxiu took a deep breath and looked at everyone, "Mom, Uncle Wei, I have something to tell you."
"Jinxiu, are you going to the palace?" Old Lady Xia stood up and asked.
Is there still no way to change this fate?
Xia Jinxiu shook her head, looking relaxed, "How could I possibly enter the palace? After all the trouble, I just don't want to enter the palace. No matter how good the palace is, I, Xia Jinxiu, don't want to go there. Mother, I'm going to the north!"
"North? The north? It's a bitterly cold place. What are you going there for? Are you going there to hide?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
Although no one has ever been to the north, everyone knows that life there is not easy.
"No, the Emperor knew that I was engaged to Master Mu, and he wanted him to go there, so I followed him."
"This..." Old Lady Xia looked at Wei Rong, "Why is the emperor like this?"
Wei Rong also felt that the emperor had gone too far this time, "Jinxiu, don't panic, your uncle may have a way to deal with this matter."
"Uncle Wei, no need, I've already made up my mind." Xia Jinxiu blushed and lowered her eyes and said, "Wherever he goes, I go. Besides, mother, I think I should get married."
"Marry... Marry? Marry whom?"
"Grandma, of course it's Lord Mu." Xia Zhiliao said from the side.
[My aunt was touched by what Lord Mu did this time. ]
"Hiss, Jinxiu, doesn't that mean you'll be someone's stepmother?" Xia Jinheng said, "Think carefully about it. Being a stepmother is not easy."
Cheng Han shook her head at him. She felt that since her sister-in-law had made up her mind, she shouldn't stop her.
But everyone has their own ideas, and no one is wrong.
"Third brother, being a stepmother is not easy, but there are people who do it. I know you are doing this for my own good, but a man like Lord Mu is worthy of my marriage. He has never complained about ruining his future for me, and he has never blamed me. Moreover, he loves his people like his own children, and has brought up his children well."
Although he said so, Xia Jinheng still had some concerns, "Jinxiu, why don't you discuss this with your second brother?"
"No need. I don't need to discuss this with anyone. I have made up my mind." Xia Jinxiu said.
"Perhaps there is still room for improvement in this matter. There is no need to really go to the north." Wei Rong naturally couldn't bear to part with Xia Jinxiu.
"Uncle Wei, I know you love me, but in the capital, there is no guarantee that the emperor will make things difficult for him. I think the north is the north. He has the ability and can do a lot of things. I also have hands, so life won't be difficult."
"Jinxiu, Lord Mu is good, but you have to think carefully. His sons may not be willing to accept you."
"Mom, true love for true love, if it doesn't work, I'll accept it. I only recognize him as a person. If I miss him, I'm afraid I won't want to get married in the future."
Now that things have come to this, the Xia family has to agree even if they disagree.
Besides, they were only worried about Xia Jinxiu, not that they looked down on Mu Zhanpeng. They just felt that since he had a child, there might be trouble in the future.
When Xia Zhiliao returned home, she told her parents about this.
Xia Jinjun also had some concerns, but he affirmed Lord Mu's character.
"I never thought that they would end up together. Maybe this is what it means when times of adversity test one's true friendship," Chang Yue said.
"Why did you think they were a couple before?" Xia Jinjun asked curiously.
Chang Yue had been listening to what the little girl had been saying. She naturally believed in her daughter's vision and had been looking forward to this day.
"Do you think so too?" Chang Yue asked.
Xia Jinjun smiled, naturally because his youngest daughter had said so.
"Yes, I didn't expect it would be at this time. Jinxiu is so proud and arrogant. Who would have thought that she would be looked down upon by the emperor and become someone else's stepmother? If she doesn't do a good job, she will be laughed at to death."
"How can she not be a good cook?" Chang Yue asked with a smile, "Jinxiu is such a good girl, she is smart and has a pair of skillful hands. I'm afraid that the father and son of the Mu family will soon be conquered by her cooking skills."
"What a pity!" Xia Jinjun sighed, "I won't be able to eat Jinxiu's cooking often in the future."
"You!" Chang Yue pursed her lips, "Compared to that, I hope Jinxiu gets what she wants, but I don't know how long it will take for us to be reunited after this departure."
[I don’t know either. This part of the story doesn’t exist. I’m not familiar with it.]
Xia Zhiliao sighed. From then on, the fate of the whole family changed, except for his fifth uncle of course. But without his aunt in the palace, he would not have to do such harmful things for her.
