Xie Yushu didn't want to stir up trouble, but she also didn't want to be a sitting duck, at the mercy of others.
Hopefully, Emperor Qingyuan still intends to leave a lasting legacy!
After Zhao Hu accepted his orders and took his leave, Xie Yushu stared out the window in a daze for a long time.
She didn't know if Han Zhongyu could persuade Emperor Qingyuan, nor did she know how far Han Zhongyu would fight for their relationship. She didn't even want Han Zhongyu to disobey the imperial decree and drag his whole family to prison or exile.
Her foundation was too weak, which allowed these people to easily plot against her.
He originally thought that with Emperor Qingyuan's protection, he could wholeheartedly develop his career and bring some benefits to the people.
But Emperor Qingyuan is playing around and throwing sand away. It seems that no matter how this matter is resolved, she should find another ally.
As the governor of a prefecture, Han Zhongyu naturally could not leave his post without permission. However, since Emperor Qingyuan had arranged a marriage for him, if he did not take any action, he could only passively wait for the imperial decree to be issued, otherwise he would be disobeying the imperial decree.
So he decided to take the risk and went to the capital before the imperial edict arrived.
After leaving Xie Yushu's place, Han Zhongyu went straight back to his residence, gave a few brief instructions, then went into his study, took a few blueprints, and headed to the capital.
Anyway, the main task of Tai'an Prefecture during this period is to go down to popularize biogas digesters. Even if he leaves for a few days, the prefecture will not be in chaos.
Han Zhongyu was in a hurry to go to the capital, and Xuan Yuanche was in a hurry to return to the manor. The two happened to bump into each other on the road.
Upon seeing that it was Xuanyuan Che's carriage, Han Zhongyu stopped it.
"Xuanyuan Che, are you aware of the imperial decree ordering this marriage?"
Upon seeing Han Zhongyu, Xuanyuan Che was furious at the thought of him "taking advantage of the situation," and raised his chin, saying...
"Know."
Why didn't you stop them?
"Why should I stop you?"
In my opinion, you and my niece are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!
I wholeheartedly agree!
"you!
"Alright, alright, I, Han, have mistaken you for someone else!"
After Han Zhongyu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Enraged, Xuan Yuanche jumped out of the carriage and shoved Han Zhongyu hard.
"You've mistaken me for someone else?"
I've mistaken someone for someone else!
Yes, I admit that I played a part in your marriage.
But you were the one who betrayed me first!
"We clearly agreed that neither of us was allowed to say we liked her. I returned to the palace no sooner had you become engaged to her. You broke your promise first, so what gives you the right to say I'm the one who's wrong?"
"So you're helping outsiders make things difficult for me?"
Xuanyuan Che! Feelings are never a one-sided affair. She only sees you as a patient and a friend. Find your place.
If you really want to find someone to spend your life with, go back to Beijing and participate in a talent show. You can choose from all kinds of beauties, big and small. Doing this will only make her want to stay away from you from the bottom of her heart.
She might still take responsibility for your condition because of your status, but she will definitely no longer treat you as one of her own.
You've gone too far this time!
After Han Zhongyu finished speaking, he walked past him, mounted his horse, and continued on his way.
Xuanyuan Che was silent for a moment, then shouted loudly.
"The messenger set off half a day later than I did!"
Furthermore, as long as she hasn't married you, I will absolutely not admit defeat!
Upon hearing Xuan Yuanche's shout, Han Zhongyu turned his horse onto a side road and headed straight for the capital.
Xuanyuan Che watched Han Zhongyu disappear into the distance, remained silent for a moment, then returned to the carriage and continued on his way.
Even the usually playful and mischievous person suddenly fell silent, lost in thought.
Upon arriving at the villa, Xuan Yuanche went directly to find Xie Yushu.
Taking into account the relationship between Han Zhongyu and Xuanyuan Che, Han Wuyong did not mention Xuanyuan Che's role in stirring things up in the letter.
Han Wuyong never interfered in Han Zhongyu's personal emotional matters. Whether it was friendship or love, if problems arose, the parties involved should resolve them themselves.
Because of this, Xie Yushu was unaware that Xuan Yuanche had deliberately done this out of anger.
Xuanyuan Che felt inexplicably guilty when he saw Xie Yushu.
Xie Yushu noticed that his expression was not good and asked...
"What kind of mischief have you been up to now? Why are you looking like this?!"
Go take your medicine and get a good night's sleep before we talk about it!
Xuan Yuanche's eyes reddened instantly, but he forced back his tears, speaking with a nasal tone.
“At the time, Jinghe asked her brother to betroth her to Eryu at the banquet, and she even asked the Fifth Prince to intercede for her. I suddenly heard that you and Eryu were engaged, and I was very angry. So I said that Jinghe and Eryu were a good match.”
I'm just angry that you two got engaged behind my back!
Xie Yushu was taken aback by this turn of events, paused for a moment, and then fell silent.
She was angry with Xuan Yuanche.
This is utterly ridiculous!
Perhaps because he was the emperor's and empress dowager's darling, he had everything he wanted, so he couldn't understand how difficult it was for ordinary people to bear the words "the emperor's orders are hard to disobey".
But still dissatisfied with his reasoning, he spoke directly to him.
"If you lose your temper even once, Han Zhongyu and I will be running away in a panic. Eighteenth Master, we are really lucky to have been fortunate enough to be associated with you!"
Seeing Xie Yushu speak to him like that, Xuan Yuanche panicked and hurriedly apologized.
"I was wrong. I was just too angry and said things without thinking. I apologize to you. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Is it because I like you too?
My feelings for you are no less than Er Yu's. What he can do for you, I can do for you too. But why won't you give me some time?
I've only been back in Beijing for a few days, and you've already secretly gotten engaged to Eryu. Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard that?
Moreover, the Emperor simply did not want Eryu to marry into the family. After all, the idea of Eryu marrying into the family is not a good thing. Eryu is the Emperor's most trusted advisor, and the Emperor felt that if he married into the family, it would damage the dignity of the court.
But this is not a big deal. My elder brother is not confused. Eryu will definitely be able to solve this problem.
If he can't solve it, I'll just go to my brother, the Emperor, to dissolve their engagement!
I was just angry and wanted to mess with Eryu a bit, so please forgive me!
Xuanyuan Che looked aggrieved, explaining and apologizing at the same time.
Xie Yushu sighed upon hearing this.
"You're the one causing trouble for him, so I have no right to forgive you on his behalf. You two should resolve your own issues."
But I'm very angry that you did this!
However, since you apologized, I won't kick you out, but this is a one-time exception.
Xuanyuan Che, I'll say it again: I only see you as a friend and take care of you like a younger brother. I have no romantic feelings for you. I like Han Zhongyu.
You might not like to hear this, but I have to make it clear to you.
If you find this unacceptable, I will prepare a batch of medicine for you to take home. As long as you maintain a calm mindset and take the medicine on time, your health should be fine for the next few years.
"Stop talking!"
I haven't had enough of being here yet, and I only feel at ease when I'm by your side.
I'm going to rest now!
"I'm so tired and sleepy from all the traveling; my heart condition is about to flare up!"
Xuanyuan Che hurriedly said a few words and fled back to his courtyard.
