The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"Jin'er! Say something! Are you going to force me to send someone to kidnap you back?"

After Xu Daijun said this, Ning Jin finally spoke, "Mother, please go back. I must see Shushu today."

"But if she wanted to see you, she would have let you in long ago. Do you really have to kneel here like this and wait for her to let you in?"

"Yes, I will kneel here until Shushu is willing to see me."

"You... you are really becoming more and more absurd and ignorant! Do you know how the world will criticize you and our Marquisate if you, the son of a noble Marquisate, kneel here for a long time? Have you ever thought about how your father would feel when he knew about this? Do you really want to disappoint your father because of such a trivial matter as seeing Li Shu?"

"Mother! This is no small matter to me! If I can't see Shushu today and explain everything to her, I might lose her forever. I can't live without her!"

"you……"

Xu Daijun wants to ask when did you become so useless.

However, the words came to her lips but she didn't say them.

Jin'er sounded like she was about to cry.

She is to blame for the situation that Jin'er has reached today!

For this reason, she took a deep breath, turned around and said to the guards at the door, "Go ask Li Shu for me if she would only be willing to see her husband if I, her mother-in-law, also kneel down at the door of the Grand Princess's mansion and beg her."

After hearing this, the guards looked at each other for a long time before someone responded and went to pass on the message.

Later, inside Lianxin Residence, the guard who had gone to deliver the message had just finished relaying Xu Daijun's words when Nanny Gui angrily shouted, "Princess Xuanping is using her status as a mother-in-law to force the young lady to meet her husband! After all, the young lady is still the daughter-in-law of the Ning family, and the people of the capital still believe that Princess Xuanping treats the young lady like her own daughter. If Princess Xuanping really kneels outside the Grand Princess's residence to beg the young lady, who knows how the people of the capital will criticize and smear the young lady if the news spreads!"

Li Shu frowned slightly, sighed secretly, and asked the guard, "Where does Grandmother usually meet with unimportant guests?"

"Yunhua Pavilion."

"Then please invite Ning Jin and his mother there."

"Yes."

After the guard left, Nanny Gui took Li Shu's cloak and tied it for her. She then said softly, "I think the son-in-law is here to explain to the young lady how he almost got involved with Xie Yu at the Zhenbei General's residence the other day. Young lady, please don't be soft-hearted."

Li Shu said "hmm" and didn't say much.

She has completely let go of her feelings for Ning Jin, so how could she still be soft-hearted?

Even though she arrived at Yunhua Pavilion and saw Ning Jin, who looked haggard and unkempt, she felt a little depressed.

When Ning Jin saw her, he immediately rushed to her, but before Jingzhe could step forward to stop him, he stopped on his own more than one meter away from her.

"Shushu! I know that at this point, no matter how much I explain, the damage I caused you over the past year or so cannot be undone, and you will not forgive me easily. But I still have to tell you that I was not right for the past year or so, as if I was possessed by a demon. That's why I valued Xie Yu more than you, and that's why I did so many unreasonable things! But I have come to my senses! I will never do those asshole things again! Can you wait for me a little longer? I will definitely find out everything and make those who plotted against us pay the price! And I will do my best to make amends for the rest of my life..."

Li Shu stared at Ning Jin, but didn't hear what he said at all. Her mind was filled with all kinds of images and sounds.

There was the one in the dream where she told them at the top of her lungs that something was wrong with Xie Yu.

There was also the one in the dream where she tried every possible way to prove that something was wrong with Xie Yu.

But until she died in the dream, they never believed a single word.

But now Ning Jin suddenly said that he was awake?

Did he wake up from falling off a horse?

Is it so easy to be sober?

"Womanly……"

As if he finally realized that she wasn't listening at all, Ning Jin called out with a choked sob, looking at her with a pleading expression.

Li Shu blinked, looked at him for a few moments, and then took a step back.

"Shushu! Don't go! I still have a lot to say to you, I..."

"Ning Jin, it's too late."

If he had woken up and made changes before she dreamed of her future, then when she woke up from the nightmare that morning, she might have thrown herself into his arms and acted coquettishly, and with a few words of comfort from him, she would have forgotten everything in the dream.

Now everything in the dream has taken root in her heart. She can no longer smile at him, act coquettishly with him, or even kiss him like before. It doesn't matter whether he is awake or not.

But Ning Jin didn't know about her dreams, so he couldn't know what she was thinking. Hearing her say it was too late, he just took a few steps back dejectedly, and then muttered like a lost soul: "Yes, it's too late. I have had physical contact with Xie Yu. That is something you, Shushu, will never forgive..."

Xu Daijun never thought that her proud son would one day show despair and helplessness in front of her. While she was shocked, she thought that no matter whether Li Shu could forgive Jin'er or not, it was impossible for Li Shu to divorce Jin'er. Time could always dilute everything. After five or ten years, Li Shu would naturally reconcile with Jin'er.

For this reason, she did not stop Li Shu when she turned around and left.

Just as Ning Jin came to his senses and was about to chase after her, she stopped him and said, "Jin'er, Li Shu is still furious. No matter how much you say, it won't help. Why don't you take the long view and slowly earn her forgiveness?"

Ning Jin actually knew in his heart that Li Shu would never forgive him.

But he still believed Xu Daijun's words as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and deceived himself.

Then, on the carriage back to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, Xu Daijun hesitantly asked, "Jin'er, you just said that you seemed to be possessed by a demon for over a year, and now you've finally woken up. Could it be that... your kindness to Xie Yu before wasn't out of your true feelings?"

Ning Jin didn't answer immediately.

After a long while, he said, "For me over the past year, that was probably from the heart. But for me now, Xie Yu is just my savior. I will still provide her with everything she needs, but I won't use the same methods as before."

"That means... Xie Yu might have really used that hypnosis on you?"

“I’m still checking that.”

"..."

Xu Daijun secretly clenched his hands and suddenly felt murderous towards Xie Yu.

She had always looked down on Xie Yu, but she left him alone because, apart from Li Shu, only Xie Yu caught Jin'er's eye and she wanted Xie Yu to help Jin'er have children.

If Xie Yu had never caught Jin'er's eye, and had used some devious tricks on Jin'er...

That's it!

Let’s wait until Jin’er finds out!

Later, inside the Dingbei Marquis's residence, as soon as the mother and son got off the carriage, someone came up to them and reported, "Princess, Master, General Li has sent a message, asking you to come to their residence today. He has something important to discuss with you."

Ning Jin immediately said to Xu Daijun, "Mother, I also have something I want to talk to my eldest brother and the others about. I'll go to the General's Mansion right away."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Xu Daijun to respond.

He thought Li Yunzhi might have also noticed something was wrong.

But when he arrived at the General's Mansion and was led into Li Yunzhi's study, Li Yunzhi said to him, "Yu'er hasn't eaten or drunk anything these past two days because of you. She's about to give up. Can you please accept her feelings first? I'll try to get the Emperor to agree to your marriage later!"
