Chapter 328: Hidden Matters
Chu Ci raised his head slightly and met Fan Jingrui's gaze.
Pursing his lips, he slowly said, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it! The people living on this vicissitudes of life have their own innate resilience."
"No matter what hardships they encounter, they can grit their teeth, straighten their spines, and move forward step by step, tenaciously carving out their own path to survival."
"So, my husband." Chu Ci's eyes were filled with tenderness and expectation, "Let's go back too!"
"The people here will live a stable life with their own strength, and it's time for us to return to where we belong and continue our lives."
Fan Jingrui was still racking his brains thinking about how to persuade Chu Ci and let her put aside her worries.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ci actually came to his senses.
He was slightly stunned at first, then a happy smile appeared on his face, and he quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you, my lady."
And Chu Ci and the others had just returned.
Qianxue and Qianyan ran over happily and couldn't wait to tell them the good news, "Sister-in-law, brother, we can go back to Beijing!"
I don’t know if it was Chu Ci’s illusion, but when Qianxue and Qianyan said this, their eyes flickered and they even looked at her several times.
Could it be that these two girls have found their ideal partner here?
Otherwise, why would it be so strange? Could they be feeling guilty? Chu Ci speculated in his heart.
"Do you have anything you want to say to me and your eldest brother?" Chu Ci, whose mind was completely distracted, stared at Qianxue and Qianyan with a serious expression, and asked with curiosity.
Qianxue and Qianyan thought their secret was exposed!
But they glanced at their eldest brother beside them and saw that he was calm and composed. They also forced themselves to calm down and shook their heads together, saying, "No."
However, their reaction made Chu Ci feel that they were trying to cover up something.
However, she also knew that most girls of this age had their own little thoughts.
So, she simply agreed and said gently, "In that case, go and pack up, and don't delay your trip back to Beijing."
Qianxue and Qianyan had something to hide from Chuci, so after hearing what Chuci said, they hurriedly responded in a sweet voice and left in a hurry like two little mice stealing food.
He didn't notice at all that the worry in Chu Ci's eyes was getting heavier.
As soon as the two left, Chu Ci frowned and said to Fan Jingrui with a worried look on his face, "Husband, do you feel that Qianxue and the others are deliberately avoiding us?"
"I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. I don't know what these two girls are hiding."
Fan Jingrui knew Chu Ci had misunderstood, so he coughed softly and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, my lady. Perhaps what they are hiding is not a bad thing. Maybe they want to give you an unexpected surprise!"
Chu Ci frowned, his eyes fixed on Fan Jingrui, and he said suspiciously, "You know? They're not really interested in a young general from Northern Frontier, are they?"
Fan Jingrui didn't expect Chu Ci to think in this way. He couldn't help but almost choked on his own saliva. "My wife, why do you think so?"
"No, then why did you hide it from me? They both like to talk to me, their sister-in-law, the most." Chu Ci frowned, and the worry on his face became more and more obvious.
Fan Jingrui didn't expect that his careful efforts to give his wife a surprise would lead to such a misunderstanding by Chu Ci.
At this moment, he was even hesitating in his heart whether he should just tell Chu Ci about his plans.
But thinking of his two younger sisters' earnest advice to him, he hardened his heart and decided to keep the surprise until the end.
So, he changed the subject and said with a hint of joking, "Madam, are you jealous that these two sisters only pick on big brother and not you?"
Although Chu Ci believed that he was not as wise as Fan Jingrui, he had a deep understanding of Fan Jingrui's temperament and style of doing things after spending such a long time with him.
She could clearly see that Fan Jingrui was deliberately trying to change the subject.
So, Chu Ci asked again: "Are you sure Qianxue and Qianyan are really okay?"
"I swear." In order to reassure Chu Ci, Fan Jingrui raised his hand without hesitation and said solemnly.
"Okay!" Chu Ci saw that Fan Jingrui would rather swear than tell him the truth. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he changed his mind and thought that perhaps this matter was of great importance and confidential, so he nodded slightly and stopped asking questions.
Chu Ci took great pains to comfort himself, but Qianxue and Qianyan were terribly shocked!
For the happiness of their eldest brother and the future stability of the Fan family, the two of them got together in private to discuss it carefully, and they all agreed that it would be better for them to stay away from their sister-in-law during this period, so as not to accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
To this end, the two of them tried every possible means to persuade Fan Jingrui to get them two high-quality horses from Tatar.
Every time Chu Ci couldn't bear to see them, and felt sorry for them being too tired from riding, he would ask them to get in the carriage and rest together. The two of them would quickly reply, "Sister-in-law, we haven't had enough fun yet!"
"Sister-in-law, how about you try it too?"
"The horses on this grassland are different. They run steadily and fast. They are so exciting!"
…
The two of them spoke in unison, coordinating with each other very well.
Those energetic and enthusiastic words, coupled with their expressions of enjoyment, always made Chu Ci give up trying to persuade them, and finally he could only let them go.
In fact, only those who have ridden a horse know the thrill of riding a horse.
Look at Qianxue and Qianyan who are forcing themselves to smile.
The prince couldn't help but pull Fan Jingrui aside and whisper, "Master Fan, your wife is important, but you should also take better care of your sisters. Look at these two girls, they must be exhausted but they're still holding on."
When Fan Jingrui heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he felt a little embarrassed.
However, in order to give my wife a surprise, I have no choice but to let them suffer for now.
However, what needs to be explained must be explained clearly.
"It's like this..." Fan Jingrui leaned close to the prince's ear, lowered his voice, and said solemnly, "I intend to hold a new wedding. The prince is also aware of what happened before."
"Now that we have two conditions, we must make proper arrangements."
"This is the only way to give my wife a surprise. My two sisters also know about this, but I'm afraid I can't hide it from her..."
Fan Jingrui explained it so clearly, there was nothing the prince couldn't understand.
The look in Fan Jingrui's eyes was filled with a hint of teasing. "Lord Fan, you usually seem steady and reserved, but I didn't expect you to be so attentive in matters of love. This really impresses me!"
"However, if Princess Yixin doesn't appreciate your efforts, it will be very interesting."
