A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

After Mu Lin bandaged the injured guards and placed the seriously injured guards on the luggage carriage, Shen Nian and Xia Tian also got on the carriage driven by Mu Feng.

The group headed for the capital overnight.

Three days later, they finally entered the capital city in the evening.

Mu Feng took them to Shen Nian's villa in the city to wash up and rest for a night. The next day, they went to Wu'an Marquis Mansion with great fanfare.

When the people in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion heard that their prince was coming back, they all ran to the door to watch the excitement.

Marquis Wu'an went to court, and the masters of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, including Liu and several of her legitimate and illegitimate children, greeted him at the door.

Xia Tian followed Shen Nian down from the carriage. Shen Nian's stepmother Liu immediately took two steps forward, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and said to Shen Nian with tears in her eyes, "Nian'er, you are finally back. Where have you been? You made your mother worry." After saying that, she wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief.

Xia Tian felt a chill when he saw this. If he hadn't known that this beautiful woman who looked to be about 30 years old was Shen Nian's black-hearted stepmother, he would have been fooled by her act of deep mother-son love.

Shen Nian had a cold face and took a step back inconspicuously, avoiding Liu, without saying a word.

Seeing Shen Nian ignoring her with a cold face, Liu turned around and saw Xia Tian standing behind Shen Nian. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she asked, "Nian'er, who is this girl?"

"She is my wife." Shen Nian replied coldly, and without waiting for Liu to speak again, he pulled Xia Tian into the mansion.

Outside the gate, Liu gritted her teeth secretly seeing Shen Nian being so disrespectful.

I looked up and saw passersby watching in the distance also peeking over here, and there was a circle of servants surrounding them, so I couldn't get angry.

She took a deep breath, restored her virtuous expression, and smiled to find a way out for herself, "The prince is tired, everyone should disperse first. We will set up a table at the old lady's place at noon to welcome the prince."

After saying that, he took the maid's hand and walked in.

When the others saw the lady go in, they also scattered like birds and beasts.

Liu winked at the maid, "Let's go to the old lady first."

She had to go to the old lady first and apply eye drops to Shen Nian.

Here, looking at Shen Nian who was shivering all over, Xia Tian didn't dare to say a word and followed him to Lingyun Pavilion where Shen Nian lived.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Shen Nian's maids Ningxiang and Ningxue came out to greet him, "Master, you are back?"

"Well, take Miss Xia to wash up." After Shen Nian finished speaking to the maid, he turned to Xia Tian and said, "These two are my senior maids. Go with them to wash up first. I will take you to pay your respects to the old lady later."

No matter how unhappy you are, you still have to be polite and not let Liu catch you.

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded and followed the two maids to the side hall.

Ningxiang and Ningxue were filled with surprise, but they did not show it on their faces. They never knew that their prince had such a gentle side.

But looking at the prince, the poison in his body should have been completely cured, right?

"May I know your name, young lady?" After Xia Tian finished bathing and changed her clothes, Ningxiang asked with a smile while combing her hair.

"Oh, my name is Xia Tian. What are your two sisters' names?"

"Miss Xia, my name is Ningxiang, and that is Ningxue. We are both maids in the prince's courtyard." Ningxiang replied with a smile.

When she came out after washing up, Shen Nian's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect that this girl looked so beautiful after dressing up.

Xia Tian was wearing a lavender dress, which Mu Feng bought from the clothing store last night.

Ningxiang gave her a lively hairstyle, which made her look youthful and energetic with her fair skin.

During the past six months, Xia Tian has been nourished by the Lingquan Space and is no longer the thin and dark little girl she used to be.

She saw Shen Nian had also changed into a dark blue brocade robe and tied his hair up with a jade crown, which made him look even more handsome.

Shen Nian's eyes moved slightly, "Let's go."

The two of them walked through the winding corridor and it took them a quarter of an hour to reach the old lady's Ruixuan Hall.

As soon as she entered the door, the old lady stumbled over, pulled Shen Nian into her arms, hugged him and burst into tears, "My precious grandson, you just left like that, you are going to kill me..."

She was still crying and gently pounding Shen Nian's back with her hands, "How could you be so cruel? Where have you been this past year?"

Watching the old lady's singing, reciting, acting and fighting, Xia Tian bit his tongue and tried hard not to laugh.

Life is really like a play, it all depends on your acting skills!

Everyone in this marquis's mansion is a reincarnated actor.

It seems that she can't be lame and needs to learn quickly.

Thinking of this, seeing that the old lady's performance was about to end, he quickly adjusted his expression and looked like he was so moved that he was about to cry.

When the old lady noticed her, Xia Tian immediately showed her standard eight teeth, "I pay my respects to the old lady!"

"Is this girl the wife you married?" The old lady asked Shen Nian sternly, her expression changing immediately.

"Yes, grandma." Shen Nian replied calmly.

"No, I don't agree. How can the prince of Wu'an Marquisate marry a woman of unknown origin as his wife?"

"My grandson and Miss Xia already have a marriage certificate, which cannot be changed." Shen Nian also replied to the old lady in a tone that did not allow for negotiation.

"You unfilial son, how dare you talk to your grandmother like that?" Before the old lady could react, the door curtain was lifted and a handsome uncle in his thirties came in. Judging from his appearance, this should be Shen Nian's scumbag father, Marquis Wu'an.

"My son has indeed married Miss Xia. Please approve of this, father." Shen Nian's tone was light, but his words were unquestionable.

"Without my permission, the Marquisate will never acknowledge her identity." He is the Marquis of Wu'an, and he cannot let his eldest son marry a woman who is not presentable. Where will the face of his Marquisate be put then?

Liu, who was watching the excitement in the room, saw that Wu'an Hou was really angry, so she hurried over and put her hand on his chest to calm him down, secretly stoking his anger, "Oh, Marquis, don't be angry yet. Nian'er just came back, and we haven't figured out what's going on yet. What if this girl is not ordinary?"

As he spoke, he helped Marquis Wu'an to sit on the upper chair.

Then he turned around and scolded Shen Nian hypocritically, "Nian'er, don't be angry with your grandmother and father. They are doing this for your own good. Hurry up and apologize to your grandmother and father."

Seeing Shen Nian standing still, Wu Anhou stood up angrily and wanted to hit him, "You rebellious son."

Xia Tian couldn't bear it when he saw Liu's gloating look.

She took a step forward and said, "Old Madam, Lord Marquis, Madam, I am Xia Tian, and I would like to greet all the elders."

The old lady said coldly, "This is our family affair. How can an outsider like you have the right to speak?"

Xia Tian was not angry at all, and stepped forward with a smile, "Old Madam, you are wrong. I was married to the prince in a formal ceremony, how can I be considered an outsider!

Besides, I'm the Prince's savior! It's okay for me to repay your life-saving grace with my body, right?"

"For saving my life?" Liu exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, the prince was covered in wounds and dying when I picked him up from the mountains. If it weren't for me, he would have died." Xia Tian made up an excuse. Although the life-saving grace was true, the Lingquan space could not be exposed.

Liu secretly resented that this little bastard was so lucky, it turned out that he was rescued by someone.

"What's going on?" Wu'an Hou roared, scaring Xia Tian so much that he took a step back. This person in a high position was different. He looked quite scary when he was angry.
