After Xia Can waited for her mother to come in, she closed the gate.
She had just returned from the palace and thought that she was in her own courtyard anyway, so she did not change back into men's clothes immediately. She also did not expect that her mother would come over suddenly.
"How did you know I was here?"
Xia Can asked her mother, and her mother exclaimed, "How could I not know?"
"Your ex-fiancé even came to me and told me about this!"
"He also ran into you by chance in the capital!"
"He came to me and said he wanted to marry you as his equal wife."
Xia Can: ...
"No, he's sick, right?"
"He already has a wife, why does he want to marry me?"
What bad luck!
How did he catch her? She didn't even notice him! Did they pass by each other before?
Besides, she always dresses like a man when she goes out, except today...
She thought that since she was meeting the little princess, she couldn't use a fake identity, so she dressed up as a woman to meet the little princess.
She had only been strolling along the street for a while, right? Less than a quarter of an hour? And he had seen her?
She is really committing a sin!
Xia Canniang nodded, "That's not right. He said that if I didn't marry you to him as his concubine, he would tell your father about your return!"
"Heh! Am I the kind of person who can be threatened?"
"I asked him where you were, and I said I didn't believe him, so he gave me this address. To my surprise, you were actually there!"
"You are such a real girl. You didn't even send me a letter when you came back."
Xia Can scooped a mouthful of watermelon and ate it. "How do I send the letter?"
"I came back on a whim. I plan to stay for a few days and then leave!"
"If he wants to marry, let him come, or I'll beat him to death!"
"What the hell, a co-wife, he's so beautiful."
Xia Canniang nodded, "Let him die of happiness."
"He didn't have a wife before, so we thought it would be nice for you to marry him. But now that he has a wife, forget it!"
"I came here first to see you, and second to deliver a letter to you."
"He will definitely tell your father about this, and your father will definitely not agree. But he doesn't look like the kind of person who would give up just like that. He might come and harass you. You should move to another place and stop living here."
Seeing her sitting cross-legged and eating watermelon without any scruples, Xia Canniang couldn't help but speak up, "Even if you're not married now, don't be so lazy!"
"You don't know how to sit properly!"
"Should I still act so politely in front of my mother?" Xia Can pouted. "If you don't like me, just stop looking at me and go back home!"
"Hey! You girl, you don't even want to listen to what I say!" Xia Canniang glared at her.
Xia Can imitated her words, "Hey! Your mother, you don't even want to listen to what I say to you."
Xia Canniang: ...
"You've been going out these past few years and have become more and more lawless. I can't control you, girl!"
"Just live a good life. Looking at the fat on your face and waist, you must be treating yourself well."
Xia Can snorted, "Of course not. How can I treat myself badly?"
"Mom, I actually didn't understand why you insisted on me marrying him."
Her parents have been pretty good to her over the years!
Why did it happen at that time...
"Before, we thought that girls would get married sooner or later, and that man looked pretty good and wouldn't treat you badly after marriage. So we thought, if you get married sooner, I'll have less worries!"
"But we never expected that there would be times when we made mistakes!"
"Now, in our Yuan Kingdom, girls can also take the imperial examinations. We suddenly think that it's not bad for you not to get married. Taking the imperial examinations might help you find a way out."
After a pause, Xia Canniang said apologetically, "It was my parents' fault for forcing you to get married last time."
Tears welled up in Xia Can's eyes. "No, I don't understand my parents' good intentions, but the imperial examination... forget it. I can't get used to reading those words!"
"If there's ever a time to recruit female generals, I can give it a try."
Wanfeng also told her about the imperial examination, but she really felt that she was not capable of it.
"Okay, just keep it in mind."
Xia Canniang looked at her, tears slowly filling her eyes. "When will you go back to see your father?"
"He missed you too."
Xia Can paused while digging the watermelon. "Wait a few days!"
"Mom, have you been okay these years?"
She was really angry back then and had not contacted her family in all these years, but she also asked about her family's news and knew that they were doing well.
However, I haven't written a letter in all these years, and now that I know the truth, I can't help feeling guilty.
"fine."
“It’s just a little less lively.”
Xia Canniang looked at her, and Xia Can smiled heartlessly, "You always complained about me being noisy before, but now it's all right. I've had some peace and quiet for a few years."
Xia Canniang said, "Now that it's quiet, I feel uncomfortable. I'm getting old, and I think noise is good too."
"Home is always your harbor. You can come back anytime."
"What if I never get married in this lifetime?" Xia Can asked her mother, "Will home still be my haven?"
"Yes." Her mother nodded, her face serious. "Ever since you ran away from your marriage, your father has regretted it."
After a pause, she continued, "Mom regrets it too."
"We are confused!"
Xia Can scooped a mouthful of watermelon, swallowed it, lowered his eyes and said, "I don't blame you!"
"You were doing this for my own good. As for going home, I'll think about it."
