The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night
Chapter 24: Returning to the Gate 3
In the past two days, the most talked-about thing in Shengjing City has been this marriage.
The daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an was a precious and noble girl, but on her wedding day, she was abandoned by the groom on the spot.
The bride bumped into a pillar, but when she woke up her attitude changed 180 degrees. She said she admired the groom's elder brother and remarried on the spot.
Such explosive news was a hot topic of conversation in Shengjing City after dinner.
Su Li has always been arrogant and domineering, but now she lowers herself to marry a useless person?
So people said all kinds of things.
Some people say that she couldn't get the love she wanted from Pei Yan, so she just married his useless elder brother. This was going to make Pei Yan angry to death.
Some people also say that although the eldest daughter of Yong'an Marquis is a little arrogant and domineering, she is a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate, is brave and courageous, and has feelings and righteousness.
General Pei Heng was injured and paralyzed while fighting against foreign enemies. He is worthy of respect and admiration.
And Su Li volunteered to remarry to bring him good luck, which is really admirable.
Anyway, there is anything to say.
When the news reached the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, the Yong'an Marquis and his wife could not sleep all night.
"I wonder how Li'er is doing now?"
The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an was unhappy. She couldn't eat or sleep for the past two days, and her sighs became louder and louder.
Although Marquis Yong'an also felt sorry for his daughter, he was more rational.
"This may not be a bad thing for Li'er!"
Madam Qin twisted her handkerchief and rained down her fists on the Marquis of Yong'an, pinching him so hard that he cried out:
"Your daughter wasn't born from your belly, so naturally you don't feel any pity for her! From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever suffered the slightest injustice? Now that she's in the Pei family, she's being humiliated by that brat Pei Yan! If you weren't so harsh on her on a daily basis, and if you weren't always talking about etiquette, integrity, loyalty to the emperor, and patriotism, why wouldn't she think of returning home to seek help from her parents when she encountered such a thing? Why did she choose this path of no return?"
The more Qin scolded him, the angrier she became. In the end, she burst into tears and simply lay on top of her husband, crying bitterly.
"My poor Li'er! Such a good girl, her second half of life is ruined like this!"
Pei Heng's spirit of sacrificing his life for his country is admirable, but he is a cripple after all. I heard he has less than three months to live. My daughter will be a widow for the rest of her life!
Only women know the suffering of women!
Yong'an Hou patted his wife's back and was relatively calm.
"Back then, when the border was in danger, Pei Heng used himself as bait and personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to the enemy's rear, drawing a full 100,000 troops from Beimang to pursue and intercept them. This not only bought precious time for the safe transfer of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the border towns, but also allowed the border troops to reorganize and redeploy their defenses, allowing reinforcements from several surrounding states to arrive in time."
"If it weren't for Pei Heng, the border would have been breached long ago. If the Beimang cavalry had marched south, tens of thousands of Daqi's people would have been slaughtered."
"Madam, Pei Heng, he is the hero of our Daqi! It is a blessing for my daughter to marry such a hero!"
Marquis Yong'an respected Pei Heng from the bottom of his heart.
If Pei Heng hadn't fought in that battle, half of Daqi would have fallen into the hands of Beimang. How could we talk about the peaceful and prosperous times we have today?
When he heard the news that his daughter was going to remarry Pei Heng, he not only did not feel sad, but even applauded his daughter's heroic act.
My daughter has been spoiled for half her life and finally she wakes up!
Although Qin blamed her husband, she also knew that her daughter would be unlucky no matter what choice she made given the circumstances at the time.
Or you can break off the engagement and go home, spending your whole life in loneliness.
Or she could swallow her anger and continue to be Pei Yan's wife, fighting with that shameless woman and living a miserable life. And Pei Yan's attitude of favoring his concubine over his wife made it clear that he wouldn't treat her well either.
Although this is the truth, she still feels unhappy.
So, after waiting so long for her daughter's return, Qin and her niece Xu Qing were waiting at the door early. After waiting for almost an hour, the servant came running from the street excitedly, shouting:
"Here I am, here I am. Madam, cousin, I saw the eldest lady's carriage. It was packed with boxes and crates."
……
Su Li set out from Qingshan Courtyard early in the morning. As soon as she arrived at the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion, she saw the Marquis's wife personally leading the servants to load things into her car.
There were more than a dozen boxes and crates of various sizes, which were packed by the Marquis's wife overnight as a return gift for Su Li.
Su Li was not polite at all and accepted everything.
I saw the gate of Yong'an Marquis's Mansion from a distance. Before I could get off the carriage, the wife of Yong'an Marquis rushed up and hugged me tightly:
"My daughter! You're finally back!"
Before he could finish his words, tears started to fall.
Su Li knew that the original owner was a typical eldest daughter in her mother's family. She was raised and cared for by her mother. Most of her spoiled bad habits were caused by being spoiled.
At this moment, seeing my loved ones who truly love me, my heart is still warm.
"mother."
As soon as I called out "Mom", I couldn't hold back the tears in my eyes.
In her previous life, Su Li had refused to divorce and taken care of her seriously ill husband, and her family had almost cut off contact with her. Now, whenever she called her mother, her heart ached.
Qin was already feeling upset, and when she heard her daughter's cry, the grievance and heartache in her heart could no longer be suppressed. They all turned into tears and burst out. She hugged Su Li and burst into tears!
But Xu Qing smiled gently and said:
"Aunt, it's a happy occasion that my cousin is back, why are you crying? It's not nice to stand at the door, please take my cousin inside."
Su Li looked over her mother Qin's shoulder.
I saw my cousin Xu Qing in plain clothes, with thin eyebrows and soft eyes, and black hair like clouds, which was tied up with a wooden hairpin. A piece of her wrist, so white that it glowed with a soft light, was revealed outside the plain clothes.
She was so thin that she didn't even have a pound of flesh on her body, and it looked like any gust of wind could blow her away.
It's really pitiful.
Xu Qing is the daughter of Qin's sister.
Back then, Qin married into the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, but her younger sister fell in love with a poor scholar and eloped with him.
Ten years ago, the scholar, having failed the imperial examinations repeatedly, committed suicide by hanging himself. Qin's younger sister had no choice but to bring the eight-year-old Xu Qing to live with her.
Within two years, Qin's sister died of illness, and Xu Qing stayed in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Xu Qing's voice was so soft and gentle that it made people's whole body numb. After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to support Qin.
Sure enough, Qin wiped away her tears while laughing and crying when she heard this.
"Yes, yes, look how happy I am. Li'er, come on in quickly. Mommy has cooked your favorite bird's nest, and the kitchen is preparing your favorite meal."
Qin was only concerned with holding Su Li's hand and hurriedly walked towards the mansion.
Xu Qing's empty hands paused in mid-air for a moment, watching Qin's mother and daughter walk in lovingly, and boxes of return gifts being carried in, his heart suddenly felt empty.
However, she quickly composed herself, smiled and withdrew her hand, and followed Su Li into the house.
"Thin!"
In the main hall, Qin looked at Su Li with tears in her eyes. It had only been three days since they last saw each other, but she felt as if three years had passed.
My daughter looked noticeably thinner and spoke less.
On normal days, the daughter would have jumped up and down and chattered endlessly while hugging her, but now she just sat quietly, with a graceful and dignified posture.
She had imagined countless times before that her daughter could be as elegant and dignified as Xu Qing, but when that day finally came, she couldn't stop feeling heartbroken.
When she thought of the injustice her daughter had suffered in the Marquis Jinyuan's Mansion, which had caused her lively and lovely daughter to become like this, she wanted to whip out the whip and have a fight.
"Mom, didn't you always say I'd look better if I were thinner? Now that I've lost weight, why are you unhappy again?"
Su Li said with a smile and tilted her head.
After hearing this, Qin poked Su Li on the forehead and said angrily:
"You!"
Fortunately, fortunately, it’s still my quirky daughter.
That's right, now that she's a wife, she should be more dignified. She should only show her little girlish behavior in front of her mother.
"Sister Xi, come and meet your grandmother."
Only at this time did Su Li have time to introduce Xi Jie'er.
Xi Jie'er followed Song Zhi and politely saluted Qin Shi, saying sweetly:
"Sister Xi pays her respects to Grandmother."
Qin had not yet recovered from the joy of her daughter's return home when she suddenly saw a cute little person calling her "Grandma" and was shocked again.
But when she saw the calm expression on her daughter's face, she finally suppressed her dissatisfaction and melancholy. When she saw Xi Jie'er's pretty little face, her melancholy turned into maternal love.
"Good boy, be good. This is a gift from your grandmother. Take it quickly."
Qin Shi hurriedly waved for someone to take the gift that had been prepared in advance. Xi Jieer glanced at Su Li and saw her nod before accepting it, saying sweetly:
"Thank you, Grandma."
Su Li glanced at Xu Qing, who was sitting beside her like a transparent person, and waved to Xi Jie'er, saying:
"Xijie'er, this is your cousin."
Although Xu Qing is quiet and harmless, Su Li knows that he is a man with lofty ambitions.
In the original novel, Xu Qing was persecuted by the original owner, Su Li, for a long time, and she had been full of hatred for Su Li since she was a child. Therefore, when Su Li fell into trouble, Xu Qing naturally stood on the same side as Liu Xu.
Through the relationship between Liu Xu and Pei Yan, Xu Qing met Prince Su, who was an idle prince at the time. Later, when Prince Su ascended the throne, Xu Qing became the imperial concubine as she wished.
After becoming the imperial concubine, Xu Qing did not show gratitude to the Yong'an Marquisate that raised her, but instead killed them.
Marquis Yong'an, his wife Qin, Su Li's younger brother Su Zhe, and 186 people in the mansion all died at the hands of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing and Liu Xu, one inside and one outside, firmly grasp the lifeline of Daqi's kingdom in their hands.
When Su Li thought of this harmless and weak woman in front of him, who later caused the Yong'an Marquis's family to be destroyed, he wanted to rush up and tear her to pieces.
So, when Xu Qing took off a jade bracelet from her wrist with a forced smile and handed it to Xi Jie'er as a gift, Su Li happily asked Xi Jie'er to accept it.
"It's given to you by your cousin, just accept it."
Xijie'er's round eyes rolled around, and she thanked him sweetly, but turned around and handed the jade bracelet to Su Li.
This cousin seemed to be laughing, and it was so funny that it made people feel scared. She didn't like this cousin.
Xijie'er quickly got into Su Li's arms.
Xu Qing felt very sad when she saw her most beloved bracelet falling into Su Li's hands.
It has been like this since childhood!
Su Li would grab anything she liked.
Nowadays, even men do it!
