Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Chu Jinxun narrowed his eyes and smiled instead: "My stomach is a bit delicate. If it is really the northwest wind and the stuffiness, I will definitely have a stomachache after eating it. Then I will have to ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to bear with me!"

Yan Xining also smiled: "What gifts have you prepared?"

"A golden pig, a pair of live chickens, two pieces of pork, two boxes of cakes, four jars of wine, and some oranges, peanuts, longans, and so on! There were so many kinds, I can't remember them all. It was all arranged by Butler Wu!"

Chu Jinxun picked up the chopsticks and helped her pick up a crystal dumpling and placed it on the small plate in front of her. "Don't worry, no one can find fault with these gifts. Besides, even if there are some shortcomings, it's because the palace is poor. I'm sure my father-in-law and mother-in-law won't blame us!"

Yan Xining raised her brows.

The original body had been back in the mansion for less than a month and was locked up in the courtyard to learn the rules. She had not seen Weiyuan Hou Yan Xiaozhen and his second wife Tian Jiaying many times. But in the scenes she recalled, the couple did not hide their evil deeds towards the original body at all. She was not afraid of being blamed by them!

The carriage turned the corner and saw the gate of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in the distance.

There was a commotion in front of the mansion gate. It was the Marquis's wife, Tian Jiaying, who was directing the servants to line up.

Yan Xueqi held a round fan in her hand, staring at the sun with her head half covered, and complained coquettishly, "Mother, do we really have to wait at the door? Look, the sun is so strong, it makes me dizzy!"

She has an oval face, fair skin as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade, and a pair of watery eyes. When she is silent, she looks like a graceful, quiet and elegant lady from a noble family. But at this moment, she pouts and acts coquettishly towards Tian Jiaying, and she also has some girlish cuteness.

Tian Jiaying tapped her forehead lightly, smiling indulgently: "He's a prince after all, so he can't be lacking in etiquette! Otherwise, the emperor will definitely blame your father!"

"Isn't it said that the man is dying of illness? Returning home is not a big deal. He may not come yet!"

"Qier is right. That sick guy still wants to marry you. He doesn't know that our Qi'er is rich and noble, and will have great fortune in the future! As for the widow, let that country girl do it!"

The Marquis said that his daughter was one of the three most talented women in the capital, and with the family background of the Weiyuan Marquisate, it was not impossible for her to compete for that prestigious position in the future. By then, the Weiyuan Marquisate would be able to reach a higher level.

The Emperor hadn't appointed a crown prince, but the choice was between the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince. The Second Prince had already married a princess, but the Sixth Prince hadn't yet gotten married.

The mother and daughter thought they were speaking quietly and had no scruples. As for the servants, Tian Jiaying wasn't worried at all. The entire Weiyuan Marquisate obeyed her, and no servant dared to gossip.

As he was speaking, the carriage slowly drove up to him.

The car curtain opened slightly, revealing Yan Xining's face.

Caizhu immediately went over to help the person get off the carriage.

Tian's face was filled with smiles, but that smile did not reach her eyes: "Xining, did you come back alone?"

There was contempt and gloating in Yan Xueqi's eyes, but when her gaze fell on Yan Xining's face, her pupils trembled slightly.

Did she see it wrong?

This country girl seems to have become more beautiful!

All her previous timidity, fear and cowardice were gone. She was not dressed up, was a little dark, and her skin was a little rough. She was originally very ugly, but why did she look so bright and charming today?

Yan Xueqi didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't deny it either. The country girl's eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were indeed delicate. If she had been pampered since childhood like her, she would probably be a beauty.

Jealousy rose in my heart, but quickly dissipated.

She was already married and would soon be a widow. What good would it do for her to become even more beautiful?

Yan Xining's gaze fell on Tian, ​​who was over thirty years old and very well-maintained. Although she was middle-aged, her charm remained unchanged, and there was a hint of seduction between her eyebrows and eyes.

She didn't respond, turned around and opened the curtain a little.

Now they could see clearly that there was someone else in the carriage.

Chu Jinxun was wrapped in fox fur, his face was pale, he was weak and he got out of the car slowly. When he got out of the car, he had to rely on Jingfeng's strong support to help him.

Yan Xueqi looked over.

Prince An rarely appears in public, but there are rumors in the capital that among all the emperor's princes, Prince An is the most handsome.

She had seen the calm, elegant, and graceful Second Prince; she had seen the noble, handsome, and brilliant Sixth Prince, who shone like a star. Could anyone be better than them both?

Just one glance and Yan Xueqi's eyes were wide open.

Against the backdrop of his fox fur coat, his complexion was as white as jade, yet not a healthy rosy hue. Instead, it had a nearly transparent quality, as if meticulously carved from delicate porcelain, or like the cold, frosty beauty of moonlight, revealing a hint of distressing frailty. However, this pallor didn't diminish his handsomeness in the slightest; instead, it gave him a unique, endearing aura.

His eyebrows are thick and long, and his eyes are deep black, like a mysterious black hole in the night sky, attracting people to fall into it involuntarily.

His cheeks were slightly thinner, but it only highlighted his sharp features. His thin face made his features appear more three-dimensional, and every line seemed to be carefully carved, so exquisite that it was amazing.

Yan Xueqi felt her breathing became a little short of breath.

It turns out to be true, Prince An is really handsome!

Tian Jiaying looked at her daughter's useless appearance and gently pulled her back to her senses. She smiled and walked forward with her to salute: "Your Highness, you are so polite to come here in person!"

"Why, don't I have to come over when I return home?"

Tian Jiaying paused, her eyes flickered, and she immediately smiled and said, "Although it would be better if we could come back together, I heard that His Highness is not feeling well, so I understand!"

Even though he was so sick, he still accompanied that dead girl back home. Does he value that dead girl so much?

Chu Jinxun covered his lips and coughed lightly, then took the hand that Yan Xining offered him and looked around: "Why is Marquis Weiyuan not here?"

Tian Jiaying's eyes moved. He called him "Marquis" instead of "father-in-law"?

"The Marquis is handling some matters in the study and will be here soon!" After saying that, he led Chu Jinxun and Yan Xining to the main hall.

The two walked in hand in hand.

After sitting down, Tian Jiaying smiled and praised: "Your Highness is really handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. It is a blessing for our Xi Ning to marry your Highness."

Chu Jinxun smiled slightly and said, "Madam Hou, you are too kind. Ahem, ahem, it is my blessing... ahem, ahem, to marry Xining!"

The maid brought tea and snacks.

Yan Xueqi picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Chu Jinxun, saying softly, "Brother-in-law, this is a new dessert made by our chef. Please try it."

Chu Jinxun glanced at her and asked curiously, "Hey, you knew I was your brother-in-law? Madam Hou, cough cough cough... your family is too frugal. Why did you let the second young lady be a maid? Cough cough cough... Or is it that the way the Marquis's family entertains guests is different, and they like to use the sister-in-law as a maid for the brother-in-law?"

Yan Xining almost laughed out loud, this mouth is a bit mean!
