Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Qian Youxue's gaze finally settled on her mother's face.
Although the Crown Prince is a scoundrel, he still holds power. Becoming the Crown Princess would definitely bring glory to the family. Why is my mother so unhappy?
Could it be that the original owner of this body was picked up by her mother?
A series of questions arose in her mind, but before she could think too much about them, her grandmother spoke up again.
"Youxue, come with me. I need to make some plans for you. First, I'll make a few sets of clothes for the family, and then..." The old lady muttered happily, pulling Qian Youxue's hand. She didn't care what others were thinking, and the grandmother and granddaughter quickly disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing the old lady leave, Qian Bowen, whose face was still pale, spoke up: "Mother, since my sister has been betrothed to the Crown Prince, shouldn't we also choose a dowry for her?"
Madam Su tightened her grip on the silk handkerchief, nodded with a kind smile at Qian Bowen, and pulled him toward her courtyard.
Waaaaah...
Qian Yingxue could no longer hold back and suddenly burst into tears: "Father, you must stand up for Second Sister! The Crown Prince clearly likes Second Sister, why let that ugly monster take advantage of her?"
"How dare you! Shut up!" Aunt Liu, abandoning her usual shrewish nature, yelled at Qian Yingxue before turning to her husband and bowing slightly: "Husband, I'll take the daughters back now."
Seeing the disappointment in Liu's eyes, Qian Sheng felt an immense sense of defeat. He thought to himself that the Crown Prince disliked that good-for-nothing to begin with, and marrying him would only cause the Crown Prince to take his anger out on him and bring him trouble.
What should we do?
With a worried expression, he went to his study with his hands behind his back.
Meanwhile, Xuan Mingye was already on his way to the border, because he had received another secret decree the night before and led his troops out of Xuanwu City that very night.
...
"Miss, why are you unhappy about becoming the Crown Princess?" Lianxin couldn't help but ask when she saw that her mistress had been sullen since returning.
Qian Youxue rolled her eyes at Lianxin and sighed in frustration.
Happy?
What's there to be happy about?
Marry a commoner rather than marry into royalty. What is royalty anyway?
It was a huge cage for keeping canaries, a dye vat blacker than ink. Just looking at it was unsettling, let alone expecting someone like her, who yearned for freedom, to live inside.
Someone couldn't possibly be unaware of something this big happening. Why didn't they inform him beforehand? Or did something happen to them?
Ptooey!
Why would I care about him?
Their relationship was purely business-related. Once she obtained the Ice Soul Silver Needle and cured him of the poison, she could do what she wanted, such as finding the long-lost old Taoist priest.
Thinking of her grandmother's happy expression just now, and how she said she would take out her savings that she had kept for many years as her dowry, she felt like she had a double headache.
In addition, there's Liu and her daughter. It seems that after this imperial decree is issued, she won't have a peaceful life for a long time.
As she pondered this, she casually plucked a leaf, put it in her mouth, chewed on it, and frowned.
Yunhe hadn't seen her master look so worried in a long time, so she brought out a plate of fruit and handed it to her: "How about we go for a walk?"
"Great idea!" Qian Youxue suddenly realized that someone had said that if he wasn't around, she could go to that Mr. Bu Yu.
I heard he's a wise man; perhaps he can give her a good idea. By the way, could you ask where that monster went?
