The Su family was completely stunned.
Unexpectedly, the man that Arong rescued was actually the Prince of Fenyang!
What was even more unexpected was that this Prince of Fenyang was willing to marry Arong and even made such a vicious vow in public!
For a moment, the Su family courtyard was quiet and still.
After a long while, Su Jian's childish voice finally rang out: "Mommy, is Auntie getting married?"
Chen hurriedly covered her son's mouth and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan.
Although I didn't say it, I felt very uncomfortable inside.
Why is it that a young woman who goes up the mountain to collect herbs can find a prince?
Why didn't she have such good luck?
Su Xuerong hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to make such a solemn oath in front of her family, and hurriedly said, "You didn't have to do that..."
Xiao Yuan looked at her intently and said, "If I don't do this, I'm worried your family won't want to marry you to me..."
Su Xuerong looked into his familiar phoenix eyes and, as always, saw the infatuation in them.
She suddenly remembered everything that had happened between them in Hangzhou, and her face inexplicably turned red.
Whether the illusion was real or not, she didn't know.
But since things have changed so much, she should have a proper chance to be with Xiao Yuan again.
At the same moment, the old master of Yaowang Manor was finally escorted to a separate courtyard by the guards of the royal palace.
As soon as Master Chen stepped off the bumpy carriage, he was eagerly invited to the backyard.
When Zhou saw the white-haired yet youthful-looking Master Chen, her hope immediately rose.
Everyone in the room held their breath as they watched Master Chen being led into the inner room by Ming Shu.
Master Chen sat down shakily on the stool in front of the bed, and clasped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yuan, who was sitting beside him, saying, "This old man greets Your Highness."
Xiao Yuan didn't even raise his head, staring intently at the woman on the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Old Master, there's no need to be so polite, let's begin taking her pulse!"
Xiuchun hurriedly stepped forward, placed Su Xuerong's wrist on a soft cushion, and laid a handkerchief on her wrist.
Xiao Yuan simply lifted the handkerchief: "Let's get straight to the diagnosis!"
At this point, why bother with formalities?
Old Master Chen was quite surprised and placed his hand on that thin, slender wrist.
After a long pause, he suddenly tilted his head and exclaimed, "Eh!": "This poison is actually..."
It wasn't a very serious poison; any of his experienced disciples could cure it. But to his surprise, the woman seemed to have a strange aura about her, which caused her to fall into a bizarre coma.
"The poison in your body can be cured." Old Master Chen's words brought a long sigh of relief to everyone in the room.
Zhou's eyes welled up with tears.
"only……"
But when those three words were uttered, everyone's hearts were in their throats again.
Cui Yun'er couldn't help but say, "Old Master, why don't you just say it all at once? It makes people's hearts go up and down like this!"
Master Chen smiled and said, "My lady, don't be anxious. What I really want to say is that this lady seems to have some kind of wish to fulfill in her mind. Once she fulfills her wish, she will wake up on her own."
Everyone: "..."
"A wish?" Cui Yun'er hurriedly asked, "What wish?"
She quickly looked at Xiao Yuan beside her: "Cousin, do you know what unfulfilled wish she has?"
Xiao Yuan remained silent, his face ashen.
He didn't know!
Zhou was also stunned.
What other wishes does Ah Rong have?
At this moment, Xiao Yuan stood up and walked to her, bowing respectfully with both hands: "Madam, does Arong have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Madam Zhou frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Perhaps, perhaps it's about raising Yuan'er to adulthood..."
This is the sentence Ah Rong has said most often to her family since her divorce.
Cui Yun'er: "Ah? Does that mean we have to wait until Yuan'er grows up?"
How long will it take? Can my cousin wait that long?
Xiao Yuan turned around and strode towards the bedside, saying to Old Master Chen, "Then I'll trouble you to detoxify Arong as soon as possible."
Master Chen immediately summoned his disciples and ordered them to provide the necessary medicinal herbs.
Ming Shu immediately led his disciples out to prepare medicinal herbs.
Only then was Master Chen arranged by Madam Cheng to rest in the guest courtyard.
The Zhou family and their group then dispersed.
Xiao Yuan sat down by Su Xuerong's bedside again, looked at her deeply, and said softly, "Arong, since you want Yuan'er to grow up healthy and safe, I will grant your wish."
He probably guessed Su Xuerong's wish.
She went to great lengths to divorce Xiao Shiyan, wasn't it all to save her own life and that of her family?
For her, Xiao Shiyan was not the biggest threat.
The Xu family is the real deal.
Therefore, he will clear away all the obstacles that she worries about, so that she can have peace of mind.
"Go and invite Madam Zhou here. I have important matters to discuss with her."
When Zhou heard Xiao Yuan's suggestion, she was stunned.
She asked incredulously, "Your Highness, are you really going to do this?"
She knew that Xiao Yuan favored her daughter, but she also knew that if A Rong married into the royal family, she would at most be a concubine.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan was going to hold a grand wedding with Su Xuerong!
Moreover, it was conducted according to the ceremony of a royal child's wedding, as grand as it could be.
How can Xiao Yuan's reputation remain intact under such circumstances?
Zhou was momentarily stunned.
Is he trying to vindicate A-Rong?
"Madam, rest assured, I will never let Arong suffer any grievances after she marries me!" Xiao Yuan said respectfully. "Once the wedding is over, Yuan'er will be the princess of my royal family, a royal descendant, and no one will dare to bully her."
