Chapter 1414: Enjoying a Blessed Life
Forced into a series of defeats, Xie Zheng had no choice but to feign muteness to cope.
No matter how much Song Chunxue pressed him for answers, he remained silent.
Song Chunxue felt annoyed. Now he's pretending to be an honest person, how boring!
But she came to the conclusion that Xie Zheng was probably thinking about the past, otherwise he wouldn't be acting so shamelessly.
I thought I would be happy, but now I feel neither joy nor sorrow.
The reason is simple: when you get to the bottom of it, it makes her feel like she's the one who's been abandoned.
Twenty years have passed, and they have chosen to abandon each other, but Xie Zheng sometimes pretends to be ignorant and comes to meddle in other people's business.
Once Song Chunxue understood this, she realized that Xie Zheng was far more despicable than she was.
This man is now stirring up trouble and acting recklessly in the court, and is being criticized and resisted by many upright officials who feel that he has lost his integrity in his later years and has forgotten his roots.
Song Chunxue, however, thought otherwise. Xie Zheng had simply become smarter and no longer hid his cunning side.
If he weren't intelligent, how could he have survived being demoted time and time again in his youth?
The world has underestimated Lord Xie.
But she also knew Xie Zheng quite well. Back when their relationship was still good, if she took the initiative and did some intimate things, he would definitely change.
But now... she cares about her reputation.
She leaned against the car wall, deflated, closed her eyes, and shook off his hand.
"Mulan, it's cold outside, come in and take a nap."
As soon as she finished speaking, she sat up straight.
Oh no, she forgot she was a man.
"It's alright, Mr. Qiu. I'm not sleepy. We can get by quickly by talking, and besides, we're covered up with blankets." Xia Mulan smiled and lifted the curtain, replying politely.
"Well, that's good then. Thank you for your hard work, you two." She sat up straight, feeling sleepy, and didn't want to think about anything else.
Xie Zheng turned to look at her, but she kicked him.
"..." It didn't hurt much, but strangely enough, on the side she couldn't see, the corners of his lips curved.
Perhaps after venting her frustrations, Song Chunxue calmed down on the way back, her mind clear of all other thoughts, and she closed her eyes to sleep.
I'm so sleepy. This restless sleep is so sweet.
...
"Ring~ Ring~"
The sound of bells rang out outside; it was the sound of donkey bells used to drive donkeys to the fields in the early morning. In a daze, Song Chunxue felt that she should get up and go to plow the fields.
She opened her eyes, and the morning light shone in through the car curtains, making her realize that she had entered the city.
The shouts from the city, along with the steaming aromas of various foods, made my stomach rumble with hunger.
But Song Chunxue felt that she no longer had any cravings. During those twenty years, she often fasted, and the three corpse worms had long since starved to death.
Therefore, she can live for a long time without grains, and her aging process is significantly slower.
She had felt a moment of joy for this before, but seeing her child gradually grow older than herself, she felt no joy, but rather a deep sadness.
The carriage swayed and moved very slowly and leisurely. Only then did Song Chunxue notice that Xie Zheng was not in the carriage.
He got off the carriage, bought a steamer of buns and handed it to Sanwa, then went alone to the former Xie residence.
If I remember correctly, there were still two maids in the mansion who were given to him by the eldest princess. Judging by their age, if those two maids were married, their children should be married by now.
I wonder if the Xie family mansion still exists today?
You'll find out if you go to the second son's house.
Sure enough, the third brother dropped Mulan off outside his own courtyard gate and went straight to the fourth brother's house.
"Hey? Third Brother, what brings you here so early? Is something the matter?" Just as he entered the courtyard, the fourth brother, with his robust physique, slowly descended the steps. Seeing the man behind the third brother, he smiled and nodded. "And this is…"
"Oh, this is a relative of ours. You can call him your cousin. He's from your mother's side of the family, your second aunt's nephew."
"Oh, Uncle, please come in. It's warm inside." The fourth brother didn't suspect anything and warmly invited them into the house.
Looking at the fourth brother, Song Chunxue thought to herself, "So this is what he looks like at this age. You can tell he's been indulging in all sorts of good food and drink. He's certainly enjoying life."
"Why are you here so early, and walking at night again?" The fourth brother yawned. "Is your son getting married? Have you sent the betrothal gifts yet?"
