I saw Si Junshan looking towards me with anticipation.
Si Jinxing said something to Qi Moli and walked towards the Si Mansion!
But she saw a hint of joy in Si Junshan's eyes. She lowered her eyes and said expressionlessly:
"General Si, let's talk."
Half an hour later, Si Jinxing walked out of Si Junshan's pine garden and got on the carriage with Qi Moli.
Qi Moli saw that he was in a bad mood, so he took him in his arms and asked:
"What? Didn't the talk with General Si go well?"
Si Jinxing leaned her head on Qi Moli's chest and said in a depressed mood:
"I told him everything. I told him that his daughter had already died in the western suburbs villa.
I don't know whether what I did was right or wrong.
He is an unfit person for his daughter!
Because of him, Lan was murdered and her daughter died tragically.
He should know the truth, which will make him fall into endless pain and guilt and regret for the rest of his life!
But, for me, after he knew that Lan's death was caused by Zhou, he gave me a lot of support and help, which can also be called fatherly love. I...
I knew I couldn't represent her daughter, so in the end I chose to tell him the truth.
But when I saw him in so much pain, somehow, my heart ached too.
I don’t know if what I did is what Si Jinxing really wants…”
Qi Moli looked at the helpless look on his little woman's face, and felt so distressed that he hugged her tighter and said:
"Xing'er, you have to know that you have done very well.
Since she has chosen you, it is up to you to help her walk the path ahead!
You helped her avenge her mother's death and the murder she suffered.
You also helped her gain the honor of Princess Anping and the respect of the people of Longyin!
Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? Why doubt yourself?
As for Si Junshan, you did the right thing, he should know the truth!
No matter how well he makes amends now, it cannot change the fact that his daughter is no longer alive!"
After Qi Moli finished speaking, he paused slightly, changed the subject, and said:
"Xing'er, the world is peaceful now, do you want to visit your fiefdom?
Or, travel to the beautiful mountains and rivers of Longyin?"
Si Jinxing's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he soon sighed and said:
"I won't be back in a few days, and I'm worried about my grandmother's health.
If anything happens, I won’t be around…”
Qi Moli took Si Jinxing's hand and said:
"You may not know that your fiefdom is an excellent place.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the resources are abundant. It is a great place for retirement!
Let's go there first, and after we're settled, we'll have someone escort grandma and grandpa over with us. We can stay as long as we want!"
Si Jinxing immediately grasped the key point and asked:
"Beautiful mountains and rivers? Abundant resources?
It's a great way to have fun and stay healthy at the same time!
The emperor is so awesome!
You actually gave me such a good fiefdom!"
Qi Moli pursed his lips and smiled slightly. This girl is really naive!
Who is the old man?
He is the most cunning person in the world!
He is definitely the kind of person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. Isn't it because he saw the dedication of his little girl to Longyin that he gave the reward?
At this time, Emperor Chongde, who was sitting in Wanfu Palace, sneezed one after another!
He said with some impatience on his face:
"What do you mean? I was only twenty-one when I ascended the throne, and you are twenty-two now!
Do you really want me to work myself to death?
If you are a filial son, you should follow the nearest auspicious day chosen by the Ministry of Rites and have this done at the end of June!"
The Empress Dowager knew that her son had disliked being bound since childhood, but she never expected that he would be trapped in this palace for thirty years!
She began to speak:
"Yuan'er, you have assisted your father for several years and are no strangers to court affairs.
Now, your Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt have destroyed Hanlan, and there is no worry in the North!
The barbarians in southern Xinjiang are all small tribes of a few thousand people. They won't be able to achieve anything in a short time, so we just need to send heavy troops to garrison them.
And Daqing in the west has never been a warlike country!
What's more, the second prince of Daqing is now in Jianzhou City, receiving treatment from Xing'er.
I think Daqing will not act rashly!
Now that the world is at peace, you should listen to your father and ascend the throne as soon as possible!
In my opinion, it should be on August 15th!"
Emperor Chongde curled his lips. August 15th?
Two more months...
In the following days, Si Jinxing either went out early and came back late, or met guests and discussed matters at home, and was so busy that he had no time to rest!
Qi Moli was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen!
Half a month later, Si Jinxing brought a lot of things to the Lan Mansion.
There were health products given to General Lan and Madam Lan, tea given to the three uncles, steel knives for the six cousins, and of course skin care products for the three aunts.
She also prepared iced milk tea and small red envelopes for the servants in the Lan Mansion.
When the family was happily praising their little niece for being sensible and thoughtful, they heard Si Jinxing say that she was going to leave Jianzhou City!
Everyone in the Lan family was reluctant to let her go and tried every means to stop her!
In the end, it was General Lan who made the final decision and said:
"Children, do whatever you want! Don't forget to come home!"
Si Jinxing also invited Qi Nanling and several other young sisters and brought them several months' worth of sanitary napkins and snacks.
It made several people burst into tears!
The love between the girls at this time is very precious, because no one knows whether they can see each other again for the rest of their lives after they get married!
Several girls drank and chatted happily, crying and laughing, laughing and crying!
Qi Nanling raised his glass and said:
"I wish all my sisters happiness every year!"
The day before leaving, it rained all day, and Si Jinxing went to the Si Mansion.
She brought gifts to the Lan family or Qi Nanling's sisters, but when she gave to Aunt Wen and Si Jinyi, she only brought a few banknotes!
No matter how valuable the gift is, it is useless to Aunt Wen. It would be better to give her a banknote directly, which would be more convenient for her and her daughter to use as they wish.
Si Jinheng went to study at the Dongchuan Prefecture Academy and was unable to meet him, but he still left a letter for him.
When she left, Si Jinyi held an umbrella to see her out of the house. She opened her mouth in some confusion, but in the end she only said:
"Second sister, I'll see you off tomorrow."
The next morning, the sky cleared up and the sun shone brightly!
Si Jinxing said goodbye to her relatives and friends who came to see her off. She lifted the curtain and looked out for a long time, but then she heard Qi Moli beside her say:
"Madam, do you regret it?"
Si Jinxing turned around and looked at him, with a glimmer of determination in her eyes, she said:
"No, I'm going to Anping County."
She thought, maybe on the land that belonged to her alone, the ideas in her mind could be better realized!
Immediately, she looked at Qi Moli and asked:
"Besides Anping County, where else do you want to go?"
Qi Moli looked at the young woman in front of him with burning eyes and said:
“The vastness of the world is but passing scenery.
Wherever you go, I will go."
