Her mother's death made her hate Princess Minghua to the core. She should never have attacked her relatives.
"Is there something that brought Father and Brother back this time? I heard that the border is unstable... If they come back now, what if something happens on the border? Then the people on the border will have a hard time."
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised to hear her say this.
"My son has grown up and has the demeanor of your father and brother. He knows the big picture and the righteousness."
In fact, nowadays women rarely read books. Most of them just want to be able to read and write. Usually they only read some women's virtues and precepts, and most of the things they learn are embroidery and the like. Their main purpose is to please men or to manage the household for men.
There are very few families in the capital who let their daughters study, and even civil servants' families may not necessarily let their daughters read other books.
But the Xu family has never been like this. Xu Lingyi read the Four Books and Five Classics. Although General Xu was a military man, he was not a pure warrior. He took the imperial examination and even became a juren.
The purpose of becoming a military general is to save the people of the world.
Her father has won many battles over the years, helping to stabilize the world, and is now stationed at the border.
The emperor trusts her father not only because of the friendship they had supported him in the past, but also because of her father's ability.
"Mother, you underestimate me. I've always been like this," Xu Lingyi said coquettishly. "I've only grown up now."
"You have no shame." Madam Xu nodded her head and added, "But my son is indeed far superior to other women."
"Mom, please don't let my brothers come back. The border is in need of people right now."
Xu Lingyi does not have the strength to deal with Princess Minghua now, so she can only prevent her father and brother from encountering Princess Minghua.
"The border is indeed unstable, but your father said that with Xu Zheng there to hold the line, the problem isn't too serious. His Majesty has also approved their return to the capital. You're old enough now, so your father and brother will come back to personally help you choose a husband, a good match. For a woman, the most important thing in life is to find a husband of your dreams. They're worried, so they've come back in person."
"The only thing your father and I can do is to help you choose a good man. Don't worry, Yi'er, with the Xu family around, you won't be like other women."
The topic that Mrs. Xu and her husband talked about most in their letters was their daughter's marriage, which was the only issue that worried them.
Xu Zheng was the child husband they chose for their daughter. Nominally, he was their adopted son, but the couple originally wanted to raise him for their daughter and train him to be their son-in-law.
If my daughter marries a man like this, she will definitely not suffer any injustice.
Besides, Xu Zheng has a gentle temperament and grew up under their care. He is an upright person, but it's a pity that their daughter doesn't like warriors.
If their daughter can accept a warrior, they actually have quite a few candidates. After spending so much time together in the military camp, it is easy to tell whether he is a real man or a ghost.
Moreover, their status and power are not as great as the Xu family, so it is impossible for them to treat her daughter badly in their entire life.
Even if they picked the wrong person and encountered a bad guy who could disguise himself, the Xu family could easily deal with that person.
They never want to associate with rich and powerful people, they just want their children to live a happy life.
"You don't like warriors, and your father and brothers don't know much about the men in the capital. Only by coming back to see them in person can you feel at ease."
So that's why.
Xu Lingyi was shocked and heartbroken. It was the first time she learned from her mother the reason why her father and brother came back.
It turned out that her father and brother came back for her, and everything that happened in the previous life was also caused by her.
Xu Lingyi's eyes were sore and her heart was bitter.
My father and brother have been stationed at the border for many years and have never been able to come back.
I guess it must have taken a lot of time to get His Majesty's approval this time.
Xu Lingyi also wanted to see her father and brothers. After they died in her previous life, all she thought about every day was her relatives.
I remember the warmth and enjoyment they had as a family in the past.
Now that she was reborn, she wanted to throw herself into her father's arms without any hesitation. She wanted to see them and confirm in person that they were okay.
But Xu Lingyi knew that it would be best if her father and the others did not come back.
"Mother, I already have an idea about my marriage. I was ignorant before. Please talk to father. I trust you and father. You can arrange the candidate. So father and brother don't have to return to the capital for the time being. The capital is so far away from the border. After father and brother return, they won't be able to stay for long. They are too tired to travel for my affairs."
"It's better to wait a year or two until the border is stable. Then we can come back and be together as a family for a long time."
Xu Lingyi knew that the border would be stable in two years, and by then, her father and brother would be able to stay in the capital permanently.
She thought that at that time, she might be able to kill Princess Minghua, or at least prevent Princess Minghua from doing whatever she wanted.
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised.
"Don't you always think warriors are rude?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. "That's what I used to think, but I know Mother and Father won't harm me. The person you choose for me must be the best, so I've decided to listen to you."
Madam Xu looked at her and couldn't help but hold her hand: "Our Yi'er has grown up."
"It's just that your mother and father just want you to be happy and peaceful. Everything should be according to your wishes."
Xu Lingyi spoke quickly. She was afraid that her father and the others would really come back, and now she did not have the ability to compete with Princess Minghua.
She is His Majesty's only princess, and she is just a servant.
"Mother, I really want to listen to you and let Father and the others come back without having to travel so far."
Mrs. Xu finally nodded in agreement.
