Chapter 958: Surprise and Joy
Xiao Zhan helped her into the carriage and patted her head lovingly: "Are you stupid?"
"Surprised and happy."
Jiang Xue said: "I was surprised by the change in your aunt's attitude, but I was happy that she finally stopped opposing us being together. Even if she is not sincere, I am satisfied."
“Yun Che.”
She snuggled up to his chest, feeling the warm heartbeat: "I can finally be with you without any burden, and I can also get the blessing of your family. It's all like a dream."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Zhan gently lifted her chin and kissed her affectionately: "Isn't this more real?"
Although Jiang Xue felt it was true, she still had some doubts.
Xiao Zhan kissed her lips gently again, and after a moment he asked softly, "How do you feel now?"
"It's very real. No doubt about it anymore."
Jiang Xue answered with a smile, but then frowned and asked, "But Yun Che, what did you and your aunt say today that caused her attitude to change so much? I don't think this is just the result of her training in the nunnery."
Xiao Zhan explained: “I just told her the truth about my experience in Xixia and said that you are my only happiness.
In the past, no matter how I expressed my deep affection for you, she would not waver.
But this time, she realized that the suffering I had experienced was related to her, and the guilt in her heart prompted her to want to compensate me, so she agreed to our marriage. "
Jiang Xue looked at him, her heart deeply moved.
In order to reassure her, Xiao Zhan recalled the painful past again. How could she not be grateful for such efforts?
"Thank you, Yun Che, you have given so much for me, you are so good to me!"
"Don't be silly."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "You are the one I love the most, so it is only natural for me to treat you well. Why should I thank you?"
"Let's go back and tell Heng'er the good news."
"Okay." Jiang Xue nodded with a smile: "Heng'er will definitely be happy for us too."
Sure enough, when Jiang Heng learned the news, his joy was beyond words.
"Aunt, Uncle, you are the two people I love and respect the most. I am really happy that you can be together happily..."
Jiang Heng changed the subject, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "But I have a request, can I?"
Jiang Xue gently stroked his head: "Tell me, Heng'er, what do you want to ask for?"
Jiang Heng raised his head and said, "If my uncle and aunt have their own children in the future, will they still love me as much as before and take me to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival?"
Jiang Xue felt a pang of sadness in her heart, realizing that although Jiang Heng was smart and precocious, he was still a child who needed care, and he was afraid of losing the current warmth.
"Heng'er."
Jiang Xue squatted down and pinched his little face: "No matter what happens in the future, we will always love you and hope that you can become a wise monarch."
"Really?" Jiang Heng's eyes were full of anticipation.
"certainly."
Xiao Zhan said firmly: "When did your uncle and aunt lie to you?"
The next day, Xiao Zhan sent someone to bring back his aunt, Madam Feng. Jiang Xiaoan checked Madam Feng's pulse every day, and fortunately, she was in good health and could hold on for a while.
Mrs. Feng's health improved after Jiang Xiaoan's daily careful care, and her dissatisfaction gradually dissipated.
She began to reflect on what she had lost in the past because of hatred, and decided to treat Jiang Xue well to make up for the suffering Xiao Zhan had experienced.
On this day, Mrs. Feng wanted to make something by herself, so she called Lin Yin to go to the kitchen together.
Lin Yin tried to dissuade her at first, but had to agree to help under Mrs. Feng's insistence.
At this time, Jiang Xue was reading a book in the study room of the mansion to kill time. Just when she was engrossed in reading, the doorman informed her that Madam Feng had sent a box of things.
Jiang Xue gently put down the book in her hand, frowning slightly: "She actually sent me something? Bring it in first so I can take a look."
At first, Madam Feng accepted her relationship with Xiao Zhan, and now she sent someone to deliver gifts. All this made Madam Feng's behavior seem extremely abnormal.
Following the principle of "extraordinary things are evil", Jiang Xue couldn't help but hope that Madam Feng would not be too nice to her. Such an expectation seemed reasonable and would not make her feel uneasy.
Soon, a box was placed on Jiang Xue's desk. She opened it and found a plate of fragrant plum cakes inside.
I reached out and picked up a piece. It was still warm, obviously it had just been made and was quickly delivered to me.
She remembered that Mrs. Feng once said that plum cake is sweetest when eaten hot.
Although the plum blossom cake exudes a familiar and tempting aroma, Jiang Xue stays away from this delicacy because of the previous incident in which Jiang Heng was poisoned after eating plum blossom cake.
To be on the safe side, she asked someone to find a cat and fed it a piece of plum cake.
After a while, the cat was not unusual, but just stared at the remaining cakes and kept meowing, as if asking for more. It seemed that the plum cakes were safe this time.
Although Mrs. Feng's gesture of goodwill was obvious, Jiang Xue was not excited about it, so she ordered people to take out all the plum cakes and give them to the cat.
She understood that she was not a saint, and although she could live in peace with Madam Feng because of Xiao Zhan, it did not mean that she was willing to forgive her past actions or make friends with her.
At the same time, news of victory continued to come from the front line. Under the joint attack of Gan State and Tianshui, Western Xia was defeated.
Faced with the ministers' unanimous proposal for peace, Yelu Cheng was angry but helpless.
He never expected that Jiang Xue would decisively get rid of Xiao Zhan with her own hands. This woman was indeed ruthless and decisive.
There was a reason why she could become the regent princess and keep the country strong. He really shouldn't have underestimated her.
Now, Xixia had no choice but to seek peace. Yelu Cheng finally decided to write a letter to Lan Feng to express his intention to seek peace.
After reading the letter, Lan Feng smiled, then sent someone back to Beijing to report the matter, and then tore up the letter.
He knew that Jiang Xue would never accept this letter of peace from both a personal and national perspective.
The years of hostility between the two countries finally necessitated a war, and this time, Western Xia must be completely defeated to leave no future troubles.
While Lan Feng was waiting for Jiang Xue to respond to Xixia's request for peace, he also heard the news that Madam Feng had accepted Jiang Xue, and his heart was filled with joy. The two had gone through so many hardships, and finally they could be together without any burden, which was really something worth celebrating.
Lan Feng immediately wrote a letter and prepared a gift for Jiang Xiaowei, inviting her to return to the capital as soon as possible to send his blessings to Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan on his behalf.
In addition, he also gave her a whistle.
When Jiang Xiaowei received the whistle, he was a little surprised and couldn't help asking the soldier who delivered the letter: "Did the general tell me why he sent me this?"
"The general said that you are waiting for him to come back every day, and you will inevitably feel bored. He made this whistle in his spare time, hoping it can relieve your boredom."
