Chapter 43 The Foolish Beauty Chases Her Husband!
Qian Yueshu planned to send this silly beauty to pursue Xie Jingxing.
Actually, my second cousin, Qian Yuexia, is more suitable.
Yuexia and she were somewhat similar in personality; both were quick-witted and adept at pleasing others.
If she were to approach and seduce Xie Jingxing.
Perhaps it would be more in line with their preferences, and might even lead to a beautiful love story between a talented man and a beautiful woman.
The thought only flashed through Qian Yueshu's mind for a moment before she dismissed it.
"no!"
She shook her head slightly, a cold, mocking smile curving her lips. "Yuexia's mind is deep, but can it be deeper than that fox Xie Jingxing's?"
She knows people like Xie Jingxing all too well.
They were used to intrigue and scheming.
They have a natural wariness of intelligent people who approach them with similar ulterior motives.
Qian Yuexia's skills were limited.
In front of Xie Jingxing, they would probably be no match for him and would only annoy him.
"Xie Jingxing..." Qian Yueshu silently savored the name.
What about the reverse?
Sometimes, a smart person and a foolish person make the best combination.
After all, even if a smart person likes another smart person, it's only someone of equal standing.
However, my second cousin and Xie Jingxing are far too different in intelligence.
In his previous life, the Crown Prince and his many advisors were all top-notch intelligent people.
But none of them could defeat Xie Jingxing.
At most, it's a back-and-forth battle, with each side winning and losing!
Xie Jingxing's world is full of conspiracies and schemes.
He was used to outwitting people and to analyzing the deeper meaning behind every word they said.
So when someone who doesn't play by the rules, whose mind is as simple as a blank sheet of paper, and whose actions are so direct as to be almost reckless appears in front of him...
How will he respond?
Xie Jingxing's speculations and assessments.
When faced with a blank space, will it become completely ineffective?
Qian Yueqiu is that "blank space".
She was known as the "foolish beauty" of the Qian family's generation.
Her appearance was exceptional; her features were exquisite, her skin as white as snow, and she possessed a pure and innocent beauty that was utterly harmless.
pity.
But inside, it's as if he's missing a few tricks; his mind is as simple as a spring stream, you can see right through it.
She didn't understand the intricacies of life among women in the inner quarters, nor could she comprehend the coded language of court intrigue.
Her biggest worry.
Maybe the snacks weren't sweet enough today?
Or perhaps the color of the newly tailored clothes isn't bright enough?
Qian Yueshu didn't expect Qian Yueqiu to really win Xie Jingxing's heart and make him insist on marrying her.
That's too unrealistic.
For someone like Xie Jingxing, marriage is destined to be a union of interests!
Or perhaps there really is such a stunning beauty.
He fell so deeply in love that he abandoned his family's interests and risked everything to protect her.
Qian Yueshu's purpose.
It was clear from the beginning—destruction.
She didn't expect her silly cousin to actually catch up with Xie Jingxing, the man at the top of the nine mountains.
She just wanted her to ruin Xie Jingxing and Su Zhirou's marriage.
She was afraid that Xie Jingxing would be won over by the Sixth Prince through Su Zhirou's connections.
That would make her and the Crown Prince's path extremely difficult...
Therefore, for the sake of the great cause in the future.
Qian Yueshu decided to suppress Su Zhirou first.
Su Zhirou is the kind of delicate beauty.
Her heart is more discerning than Bi Gan's, and her illness surpasses even Xi Shi's beauty by three points!
She was a lady from a prominent family, proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She was also very sickly and needed to be protected by others since she was a child.
As for cunning and scheming, she has them too!
Outsiders just thought she was innocent and kind.
Could a pure and kind person really get the help of the sixth prince to get rid of his father's most favored concubine and the eldest son who was competing with her own brother?
Can a simple-minded person truly win Xie Jingxing's heart?
Qian Yueshu had a headache.
I wonder who would come out on top if a truly foolish beauty met a fake, innocent, sickly beauty?
I've made up my mind.
Qian Yueshu then sent someone to summon Qian Yueqiu.
"Qiu'er, come to your sister." Qian Yueshu concealed the sharp glint in her eyes, adopting her usual gentle and kind cousin demeanor, and took Qian Yueqiu's hand, making her sit beside her.
Qian Yueqiu both admired and relied on her cousin, who was a few days older than her and always shrewd and capable.
The survival rule she learned from childhood was: "Qian Yueshu is her provider, the guarantee of her wealth and honor. As long as she pleases Qian Yueshu, she can do whatever she wants in the Qian family."
"Sister Yue Shu, did you need something?" Qian Yueqiu looked up, her big eyes blinking, full of pure trust.
Qian Yueshu gently stroked her hair, her tone slightly coaxing: "Qiu'er, you're not young anymore. Have you ever thought about what your future husband should be like?"
They are about the same age, and both are turning 18 this year.
However, Qian Yueshu was born a few days early.
Qian Yueqiu blushed and said shyly, "Why did you suddenly ask this, sister... I... I didn't think about it."
"I've thought of an excellent candidate for you," Qian Yueshu said with a smile. "His name is Xie Jingxing. He comes from a distinguished family and is exceptionally talented and handsome. He is one of the best young men in the capital."
"Xie Jingxing?" Qian Yueqiu repeated the name blankly, having no idea what it meant.
She quickly nodded: "Okay, my sister chose this for me, so it must be excellent. When shall we get married?"
This is something that's not even remotely possible yet.
Why are you getting married so soon?
Their thinking is frighteningly straightforward.
"Getting married isn't that simple." Qian Yueshu's smile deepened, carrying an undeniable guiding tone: "This man is exceptionally outstanding, many women admire him, so you must go and snatch him away."
"Then I'll bring my men here right now and tie her up!" She thought that robbery meant the kind where a group of guards would snatch someone away.
Looking at her seemingly innocent appearance, Qian Yueshu couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Did she make the wrong choice?
Can such a silly beauty really win over the clever and charming Xie Jingxing?
but.
Qian Yueshu didn't expect her stupid cousin to succeed either.
If she can keep Xie Jingxing occupied for a while, that is.
Just make sure Xie Jingxing and that woman Su Zhirou don't have too much contact.
That's all.
Qian Yueshu only stated her minimum requirements: "As long as you keep Xie Jingxing occupied for a while and prevent him from contacting other women, I will remember your merit and buy you a courtyard house in the capital."
Qian Yueqiu nodded.
This task is simple.
My cousin gave me so much!
How could she possibly disagree?
So Qian Yueqiu dressed up carefully that day and went to the place her cousin had mentioned to ambush the person!
Speaking of this place, it's actually my family's restaurant.
Qian Yueqiu did not know Xie Jingxing, but her cousin had shown her a portrait.
Moreover, my cousin said Xie Jingxing is good-looking.
With just one glance, Qian Yueqiu spotted him in the crowd.
The prettiest one!
If you truly believe in your cousin, you will gain eternal life.
Lifting her skirt, she ran over without any ladylike demeanor, stopped in front of Xie Jingxing, looked up, and asked without warning, "Xie Jingxing, will you marry me?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it struck like a thunderbolt at the young men from prominent families who were drinking with Xie Jingxing.
What the heck?
He just married her right away?
Xie Jingxing was not only a noble young master from a prominent family, but he had also mingled in the martial arts world, so he had seen that kind of bold woman before.
But at most, they would only dare to say one thing: "Xie Jingxing, I love you!"
The woman before him was truly unlike any woman Xie Jingzhi had ever seen.
