Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Mo Lin was awakened by the noise around him. He dazedly held the person in his arms, patted him gently and coaxed him: "Be good, let me sleep for a while, I really can't bear it anymore, I'll give it to you later, okay."

When Ning Xiaoxiao heard the familiar voice, her tense body immediately relaxed. She reached out her hand and touched his face. The look in her memory slowly appeared in her mind.

Guessing that she must have been rescued, she couldn't control her tears and flowed uncontrollably. Not wanting to wake him up, she covered her mouth and sobbed quietly.

Mo Lin was awakened by sobbing. He opened his eyes and looked down. His voice was hoarse from just waking up: "Xiaoxiao, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I...we..."

"It's a long story, but it's all known to the elders. It's helpless to consummate the marriage before the wedding. I'm sorry to have wronged you. In order to prevent others from knowing too much, the wedding date will be moved forward."

Ning Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I'm not asking this. I want to ask, was that person yesterday you? Have I been deceived by those beggars..."

She couldn't say the following words, and looked at him with a fragile face and lifeless eyes, obviously unable to see.

Mo Lin felt so distressed that he rubbed his chin against the top of her head and said gently, "No, it was always me. Someone sent me a letter, and when I got there, I saw you holding a hairpin and stabbing those people."

"After rescuing you, I brought you back to Ning'an Marquis's Mansion. When the palace doctor arrived, he said that the poison you were infected with was too strong and that you had to have sex with... a man to cure it, otherwise you would bleed from all seven orifices and die."

"I'm sorry, I was rude first and wronged you."

Ning Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing, her face full of relief: "No, I'm glad that person is you. Besides, you are trying to save me, there is nothing to blame. Just move up the wedding date."

"If it's before the New Year, I'm afraid Sister Li and the others won't be able to catch up."

Mo Lin rubbed her cheek with his fingertips and said softly, "It's okay. I sent a letter to my brothers, saying that we will get married in advance. My brothers and others will understand. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, I'm not sleepy anymore, I'm just very tired, my bones are falling apart, can you rub my waist for me? And what's wrong with my eyes? Will I be unable to see from now on?"

"No, the court doctor said it was caused by poisoning. Now the poison has been removed and it will be fine in a while. Don't worry, your eyes will be fine."

Hearing him say that, Ning Xiaoxiao felt relieved. She looked obedient, rubbed her face against his chest, and closed her eyes in peace: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to look so fierce, but you were so gentle when you pressed my waist."

Mo Lin said proudly: "That's right, I learned some things from the nanny, and I can control the strength well. If there is anything inappropriate, you can tell me at any time."

a moment later

"Well, I feel much better now. If you need anything, you can leave."

"It's not much. My mother is preparing the betrothal gifts at home. I can't help if I go back. It's better for me to stay here with you. When you wake up, I will go to talk to the Marquis."

Ning Xiaoxiao became interested and opened her eyes: "What's the matter? It's very important."

Mo Lin didn't know whether it was important or not. Anyway, his mother sent a message saying so. He felt that it didn't matter. After all, marrying into the wife's family just sounded bad. Nothing else mattered.

I just feel a little sad. Why do I feel like my mother is eager to pack him up and send him to the Marquis' Mansion? It's a little...

"It's important, right? Mother said that I didn't protect you well, otherwise you wouldn't have encountered such a thing. I also consummated the marriage before the marriage, which is even more unfair to you, so she let me marry into the family, and when I have children in the future, they will take the Marquis's surname. That's probably what she meant."

"Cough cough!!!"

Ning Xiaoxiao choked on her own saliva. This was a big deal, why did she look so nonchalant? It was like marrying into the wife's family, and if people found out about it in the future, they would gossip about her.

"Brother, this is not okay. How can I let you marry into my family? If you do, how can you hold your head up in front of others in the future? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"It was because I was not on guard against others that I was ambushed."

Mo Lin was silent for a while, then said, "It was the girl who liked to wear mourning clothes, her name was Bai Xianxian. She drugged you, right?"

Ning Xiaoxiao hummed: "After I drank her water, I felt something was wrong with my body. Now that I think about it carefully, I remember that she didn't drink the water from the water bag at all. There must be something wrong with that water."

"It doesn't matter. I'll have someone keep an eye on it. We'll settle the account slowly."

"You are tired and you can go to sleep. I will go to see the Marquis. Don't worry about me being gossiped about in the future. Even if you don't marry into the family, my reputation in the capital is already rotten. It doesn't matter."

Ning Xiaoxiao shrank into the quilt: "Well, big brother, go and do your work. I'll wait for you to come back."

Mo Lin leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Then he got out of bed, dressed and washed up. Then, with the servants leading the way, he went to find the Marquis. The two talked in the study for a long time.

When he finally opened the door, the Marquis was smiling, looking at him with loving eyes, and patted his arm: "Good boy, I know that the Mo family is responsible. My Xiaoxiao is blessed."

"There's no need to publicize the matter of marrying into the family. It's enough for our two families to know about it. To the outside world, it's still Xiaoxiao marrying into the Mo family. As long as you are willing to give one of your children to the Marquis' Mansion in the future, it will be fine."

"With such a huge family business, I will feel at ease even if I close my eyes to it. As for those elders who want to take advantage of it, with your Mo family here, they won't have the guts to leave them alone."

The old marquis' face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, he looked so proud. He lost his son and daughter-in-law in his early years, and he had only Xiaoxiao as his child for so many years, but she was a girl after all.

How to defend the Marquis' Mansion? What he was most worried about was that after the old couple passed away, Xiaoxiao would be bullied and the Marquis' Mansion would be divided up by the elders of the clan. Now with the Mo family, he didn't have to worry at all.

When they have another child, the Marquisate will give the child directly to them. This would be the best thing to do. After all, the Mo family has a good tradition and is willing to make such a big concession to them.

Mo Lin scratched his head, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under that loving gaze. It seemed like he hadn't done anything. Marrying into another woman's family was just about moving the place where one could live. It wasn't like he couldn't go home.

"My Lord, if everything is alright, I will go back to accompany Xiaoxiao first, and leave the mansion tomorrow to deal with the person who hurt Xiaoxiao."

The old marquis' face turned cold when he heard this, and he shouted, "Ah Da, the second and third brothers, come out and follow me. Deal with the people who need to be dealt with. If you have any questions, just come to me."

"Humph, I want to see who is so vicious. There is no need to be lenient. Do you hear me?"

The three of them said in unison: "Yes, Master."
