Shortly after they set off, more than a dozen carriages also drove out of the palace, each carriage filled with wooden boxes.
"Father, are you really going with us? Maybe you'll still have a chance." Zhou Jingyi glanced at Jiang Xingzhou beside him, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
"I'm old enough to understand things now, and I can handle those officials in the court. Father, I don't want you to miss out on my stepmother because of me. She's truly a wonderful woman!"
In his heart, there will always be a place for his stepmother, now and in the future.
Zhou Jingyi really wanted to go and see her. He hadn't seen his stepmother since she left the capital. Although they exchanged letters, it couldn't compare to seeing her in person.
“Uncle Bai Heng is a very good person. Father, if you feel inferior, you can settle for second best and let Uncle Bai Heng take over,” Zhou Jingyi continued.
Jiang Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhou Jingyi.
Zhou Jingyi, seeing the look in Shangjiang Xingzhou's eyes, assumed he was unwilling to give up and continued to persuade him:
"Young Master Bai has always stayed by my stepmother's side. Whenever she is in danger, he is always the first to help her. Based on this alone, I think it is right for my stepmother to marry him."
“Father, you’ve already done so much for me, and now you’re going to do your own thing.”
“Ah Yi, she has already written to me, telling me to take care of myself.”
When he received this letter, he had been in a daze for several days.
“If I were to appear before her again, it would put her in a difficult position. You’re right, Bai Hengxu is the most suitable for her. I couldn’t be with her, which is enough to make me inferior to him.”
After hearing this, Zhou Jingyi remained silent for a moment. Just as Jiang Xingzhou turned around, he said softly, "How will you know if you don't try? There's always a chance if you see him again. If you remain indifferent, you'll end up with nothing."
Jiang Xingzhou paused, Zhou Jingyi's words striking his heart, gradually rekindling his dormant emotions...
In Shili Village, Granny Jiang was overjoyed to receive Madam Bai's reply.
"Young Miss, the date has been set! Madam Bai has chosen several auspicious days. Which one would you like to pick?"
Granny Jiang presented the reply to Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua glanced at it and saw that the earliest reply would be in ten days, there would be one in the middle of next month, and another at the beginning of the month after next.
"Then let's go with this one!" Jiang Hua pointed to the last date.
"Young Miss, shouldn't we wait for Young Master Bai to return so we can discuss it together?" Granny Jiang asked, watching Jiang Hua set the date so easily.
