Chapter 18: The Little Peasant Girl Who Wants to Repay Her Gratitude (End)

Sun Xiuzhu is the second son of Censor Sun's family. He and Mingzhu grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Just when the two families were preparing to discuss the marriage, the emperor granted the marriage and forcibly separated the two.

After that, the two observed etiquette and never met privately again.

After Mingzhu broke off the engagement, Sun Xiuzhu begged her parents for permission to propose to Mingzhu, but unfortunately Mingzhu refused.

Later, Sun Xiuzhu left home and went to the border by herself. Over the years, there has been no news from her.

This time Sun Xiuzhu came back with fame and honor. He was successfully promoted to guerrilla general. This post was his visiting card.

"Mr. Sun has actually been sending letters to Mingzhu over the years, but Mingzhu has never replied. This kind of relationship is really rare."

Xie Zhilan shook her head and sighed, "Alas... it's a pity that Mingzhu..."

Before she knew it, fifteen years had passed and Mingzhu had lived in Nantaisi Temple for fifteen years.

When a coup occurred in the imperial palace that year, the third prince and his followers were arrested. Fortunately, Mingzhu suddenly came to her senses and returned to Nantai Temple in time, so she was not implicated.

Nan Xi has been traveling around for the past fifteen years, while Mingzhu has never stepped out of Nantai Temple.

Even when the Marquis's wife came to visit, she rarely came out to meet her.

Xie Zhilan held Nan Xi's hand, "Nan Xi, there is also your marriage..."

Xie Zhilan didn't know what to say for a moment. Nan Xi had become the imperial teacher and was not an ordinary person. Her marriage had always been a concern for Xie Zhilan.

Xie Zhilan also knew that there was no man in the world worthy of her daughter, but she still wanted her daughter to have someone to accompany her.

Nan Xi felt a headache and quickly changed the subject.

"Mom, I have to go visit my senior brother tomorrow. I'm going back to sleep first."

Xie Zhilan sighed. After so many years, she had already let it go and understood what her daughter meant, so she didn't force it.

After feeling relieved, the couple sent more and better utensils to the Imperial Master's Mansion, hoping that their daughter could live a more comfortable life.

Xie Zhilan turned around and told the maid to prepare a list and prepare the gifts for Master Yizhen.

?

Mingzhu closed her eyes, struck the wooden fish and recited scriptures. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and sighed.

After reading the letter sent by Sun Xiuzhu, she felt very grateful in her heart. After so many years, Mr. Sun's feelings for her remained the same.

But, I am not worthy of him in my current state, and he deserves better.

After a while, Mingzhu sighed again, and the sound of the wooden fish rang out again.

When Nan Xi came, Mingzhu was still reciting scriptures and didn't notice anything at all.

Mingzhu was dressed simply, had no makeup on, had her hair in a simple bun, and had no jewelry on her body. She looked extremely cold.

Nan Xi sat down on the chair.

"Hey……"

Mingzhu raised her head and saw that Nanxi was somewhat surprised.

"Nanxi, you're back."

The two had spent some time together before, and Mingzhu had a good impression of Nanxi.

"Mingzhu, mother misses you very much. She is sick..."

Mingzhu was stunned and a little flustered. Over the past fifteen years, the marquis's wife had often visited her and she looked in good health, and she had not heard of any problems.

Madam Hou is ill? Also, what does Nan Xi mean by this tone?

Xie Zhilan’s illness must be very serious!

Mingzhu stood up suddenly, and she didn't care that the wooden fish was knocked over by her.

"What's going on? How is Madam?"

Mingzhu was a little uneasy. She tugged at her sleeves and paced back and forth.

"No, I need to go check it out, Nan Xi, let's go now."

Mingzhu started to run outside, not caring about Nanxi anymore.

Nan Xi smiled slightly and followed him down the mountain. Fifteen years was enough.

Mingzhu only realized that Nanxi had not followed her after she came down the mountain.

"Miss, please get in the car. Our lady has already instructed us to take you home first."

Mingzhu saw that there was a carriage behind him, so he got on it and rode at full speed, eager to go home.

?

Nan Xi took a carriage to Nantaisi Temple.

Yizhen is already ninety years old. His eyebrows and beard are all white, but his face is ruddy, his eyes are bright, and he looks energetic.

"Junior sister, please don't go out for the past year."

Nan Xi nodded. She had already seen that Senior Brother Yizhen’s time was up.

The average life expectancy of people in this world is between sixty and seventy years old, so Yizhen is considered to be a long-lived person.

The two played chess for the whole morning and discussed many issues. It was getting dark before Nan Xi left.

When Nan Xi returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she saw Xie Zhilan holding Mingzhu's hand. The two were talking happily. When Xie Zhilan saw Nan Xi coming back, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Nanxi, I thought you would mind and didn't dare to mention Mingzhu, but you went to pick her up in person. I'm really happy."

Nan Xi walked over and held Xie Zhilan's hand.

"Mom, I don't mind."

Mingzhu looked guilty, "Nanxi, after all, it was Wang who hurt you. I am willing to live my whole life in seclusion to atone for her sins."

Nan Xi shook her head. "Fifteen years have passed. That's enough. This is Wang's fault. It has nothing to do with you."

Xie Zhilan kept nodding her head. Mingzhu should not be held responsible for all of Wang's mistakes.

"Mingzhu, you have lived in the nunnery for fifteen years, and Master Sun has also been waiting for you for fifteen years. You should give him a chance."

Mingzhu blushed. If she had stayed in the nunnery all the time, her mind would be very clear. When Sun Xiuzhu came to see her, she refused outright.

As soon as I got down the mountain, I immediately felt something was different.

Nan Xi smiled. She understood Mingzhu's state of mind, so she tricked her down the mountain.

Besides, she was not lying. Xie Zhilan was indeed sick and missed Mingzhu.

Mingzhu blushed and didn't say anything when Xie Zhilan asked her. In the end, she just said "hmm" softly.

Xie Zhilan immediately laughed, which meant she agreed.

"Mingzhu, Young Master Sun is ambitious. It was not easy for him to be promoted to a guerrilla general at the border. He still cares about you, which shows his sincerity.

Also, he came back this time to visit his relatives, and he will have to return to the border to garrison in a month, so his time is limited.

Since you have agreed, I will hurry up and prepare for the wedding. We can get married soon so that you can go to the border together."

Mingzhu replied softly, her face full of shyness.

"It's all up to the lady to make the decision."

Mingzhu was extremely grateful. She was now alone and had nowhere to go. Even in Nantai Temple, she could only live a stable life relying on the Marquis' Mansion. Now her wedding had to be presided over by the Marquis's wife.

"Madam, I have no way to repay your kindness and generosity."

Mingzhu knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Zhilan to express her gratitude.

Xie Zhilan helped Mingzhu up and said, "Silly child, I will feel relieved if you are doing well."

Nan Xi watched Xie Zhilan get busy and quickly completed the pre-wedding procedures and married Mingzhu off.

Mingzhu insisted on not having a dowry, so Xie Zhilan had no choice but to follow her. Fortunately, Sun Xiuzhu's betrothal gift was very generous, so it would not be shabby to take it back as a dowry.

Three days later, Mingzhu went to the border with Sun Xiuzhu, and they didn't know when they would see each other again in this life.

Xie Zhilan married off her daughter, which fulfilled her wish.

?

A year later, Yizhen passed away and Nanxi personally presided over the burial ceremony.

Twenty years later, Nan Xi sent Fu Chengxing and Xie Zhilan away. After the mourning period was over, Nan Xi resigned from the position of Imperial Master. She left the Dongyang Dynasty and went to a wider world.

Thirty years later, Nan Xi left this world.
