In the end, the Marquis recovered considerably and, after understanding the whole story, said, "She didn't mean to hurt me, but her reputation was damaged because she saved me. I can't let her already troubled life be further tormented because of this!"
“If she doesn’t mind that I’m living in anonymity, she can keep me company. If she does, I would like to ask the old lady to adopt her as her goddaughter and find her a good husband. I will provide her dowry.”
The old lady and the others were all pleasantly surprised to hear this.
Everyone knows that the Marquis is upright and honest, so it's no surprise that he didn't want to cause any more trouble for the young lady.
But his intention to keep the girl by his side for life was truly remarkable.
The old lady tentatively said, "This girl has a blessed face and a gentle nature. What's rare is that she has her own opinions. If she were to live with you, you would surely have a harmonious marriage..."
The Marquis did not speak, but the tips of his ears turned red.
The old lady immediately called everyone outside, and then secretly inquired about Jiayin.
Jiayin was overjoyed to hear that her godfather had this idea.
You can't tell others, but you can't keep it from Grandma.
So she quietly whispered in her grandmother's ear to explain.
When my godfather fell ill, his body was covered in frost. The fact that he survived was probably because he was stripped naked and put in a hot bath, or someone simply warmed him up with their body!
Needless to say, no matter which method is used, the girl has made too great a sacrifice.
Unfortunately, this girl knew some medical skills, but she wasn't very proficient. She didn't expect Jiayin to be able to see through it, and she didn't know that the Marquis's body was unable to move for those three days, but his mind was clear!
Old Mrs. Li slapped her thigh with joy and immediately gave her family hints and suggestions, making it her top priority to bring the Marquis and Miss Yu together.
In particular, the head steward of the Marquis's mansion knelt down that very night, offered incense to the ancestors of the Ye family, and kowtowed countless times!
After being held by Grandma Li and talked to for half the night, Miss Yu spent the rest of the night crying.
The injustice of fate, the grief of losing parents and relatives at a young age, and the fear of living alone all seemed to find an outlet on this night.
The handsome and brave man did not blame her for her suffering.
That person said they respected her choice; if she was willing, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life…
Sunrise and sunset, time flies like an arrow.
The Marquis moved to this island to recuperate, and Miss Yu came to take care of him. Before long, a long time had passed.
The island is inhabited by our own people; it's quiet and beautiful.
There were no idle gossips from outsiders, no anger or sadness, only beautiful days flowing everywhere.
A hero who endured hardships, accomplished great deeds for his country, and then returned to seclusion.
A gentle woman whose heart has been broken by the world, longing for someone to rely on and a safe haven.
In the daily routines of food, clothing, shelter, and conversation, the two grew closer and closer...
Finally, they got married!
"Princess?" Yu Suning saw that Jiayin was lost in thought again, and gently patted her hand with a helpless smile. "Is something on your mind? Why are you spacing out?"
Jiayin snapped out of her daze, coughed twice, and joked.
"I don't have anything to do. The most important thing is to help my godfather marry my godmother as soon as possible."
By now, almost everyone in the family has arrived, and it's quite noisy. I was worried that my godmother might be hungry, so I brought you a plate of snacks. It's fine with others, but if my godmother is starving, my godfather will be worried."
As she spoke, she made a pitiful face and said, "Sigh, my godfather used to love me the most, but I'm afraid that won't be anymore. Not only does my godfather love my godmother, but he also had a younger brother and sister. I'm sure I won't be in the running anymore."
"What are you whispering about while I was away?" The Marquis walked in from outside with Mu Xu, just in time to hear the end of a sentence, so he smiled and raised his hand to tap Jiayin on the head.
Jiayin covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue in protest, "Godfather is so biased, why doesn't he hit Godmother? He's forgotten his daughter now that he has a wife."
Yu Suning blushed, glared at the Marquis reproachfully, and asked, "Didn't we agree that we couldn't meet for the three days before the wedding?"
The Marquis lifted his long robe and sat down, poured a cup of warm tea, pushed it in front of her, and replied, "We should just get married because we're happy. Why should we follow other people's rules?"
Yu Suning blushed even more and asked in a low voice, "It rained last night, are your knees cold and sore again? I sewed two burlap sacks. I heard that heating coarse salt and applying it to the knees is the best way to treat them. Try it when you have some free time."
"Alright," the Marquis replied with a smile.
Mu Xu leaned against the door, his smile strange.
Time has not been unkind to him either, shedding his former roguishness and making him taller and stronger with a tanned bronze complexion. Taking charge of two boats and sharing some household chores has made him appear much more mature.
But occasionally, a hint of wickedness would appear in his eyes, making it clear that his true nature was not so honest.
Jiayin tugged at his sleeve, and the two quietly left the room, leaving the world to the happy newlyweds.
The sea breeze continued to blow tirelessly, and the waves crashed against the rocks, sending white spray flying and startling seagulls into flight, their cries echoing everywhere.
Jiayin and Muxu walked along the beach first. Jiayin took off her shoes, and her feet felt exceptionally comfortable on the soft sand.
Mu Xu walked backwards, muttering to the girl he had been waiting for for several years.
"The Marquis is already married, when can we finally put our own marriage on the agenda? My elder brothers always say they want to test me, but every time I pass, they come up with a new idea. If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll be a bachelor with a full beard!"
Jiayin couldn't help but laugh when she thought of how her brothers would rack their brains to make things difficult for Mu Xu every time they got together.
The girl's smile was bright and radiant, completely different from the puppet-like young ladies confined to the inner quarters; it was so unrestrained and flamboyant.
Even if Mu Xu looked at it ten thousand times, his heart would still pound.
He suddenly became bold, leaned forward, and kissed the girl on the forehead...
Jiayin was startled and was about to speak when a loud shout came from not far away!
"You brat, how dare you bully my sister!" It turned out that Jiayi and Liu Yang had come looking for them and caught them red-handed.
Mu Xu turned and ran, with Jia Yi and Liu Yang chasing after him.
Jiayin, carrying her shoes, laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up.
Suddenly, she felt as if a bubble had burst somewhere in her mind. She subconsciously focused her mind into that space, and then her smile became even brighter!
She made a long journey to rescue Gushan, and can be considered a hero in the unification of the country.
After so long, the reward has finally arrived!
In this space, all the land turned into a dark, nursery-like color, and the mountains and forests that had been shrouded in gray mist were now revealed...
Needless to say, she'll be busy again from now on, having to reorganize her little world.
However, I don't know if it's allowed to bring people in?
If possible, send someone close to her inside to help manage her little world, then she can continue to slack off and be lazy...
After climbing a few steps onto a towering reef, Jiayin looked up at the blue sea and sky and opened her arms wide!
The sea breeze seemed to lift her up, allowing her to soar freely between heaven and earth!
She didn't know whether sending her here was an accident or had some other purpose.
But she worked hard and has achieved the happiness she has today!
No one can predict what will happen in the future, or how much joy or sorrow she will experience, but she will still persevere and bravely face everything!
The sea breeze grew stronger, and Mu Xu, Jia Yi, and Liu Yang, watching from afar, saw the girl on the reef, her clothes fluttering in the wind. For a moment, they even thought she would fly away with the wind.
"Lucky girl!"
"Princess!"
"My sister, Princess!"
The three of them exclaimed in unison and ran over.
Mu Xu reached out his hand, stood under the reef, and called out in a trembling voice, "Princess, it's time to go home. Grandma is waiting for you to eat!"
Jiayin turned her head and saw their expressions. She couldn't help but laugh. With one hand on Mu Xu's arm and the other lifting her skirt, she nimbly jumped off the rocks.
"Okay, let's go home for dinner!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Xu held Jia Yin's hand tightly, not daring to let go for a moment.
When Jiayi and Liu Yang saw this, they each turned their heads away and pretended not to see it.
After walking a short distance, Mu Xu turned back and glanced at the reef again.
I'll bring people over tomorrow to break up these rocks and remove them!
No one can take away his beloved girl, not even a stone, not even the heavens!
Perhaps sensing his frustration, the waves crashed against the rocks even harder, creating countless whitecaps that shot into the sky and then gracefully fell back down, a truly beautiful sight…
Today's update is here, and there will be a bonus chapter tomorrow!
