Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project
Chapter 776 Postscript: Xiao Ling’s World
All the officials and nobles in the capital firmly believed that Xu Huixin had lost her innocence long ago, because before she broke off the engagement with Feng Shao, someone saw the two of them hugging each other and expressing their love in broad daylight. How could there be any innocence left?
People are always more harsh on women, and Prince Xun is very powerful, so almost all the rumors are directed at Xu Huixin and the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that Xu Huixin is shameless and uneducated, and that the Prime Minister's Mansion is willing to do anything for power and has no bottom line.
All of a sudden, the reputation of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was affected, including the married women who had already married.
Although Xu Huixin is the only legitimate daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she had two half-sisters who had already married, and a half-brother and a half-younger brother. Her half-brother got engaged last year and was waiting to get married, but recently the girl's family has wanted to cancel the engagement. If Xu Huixin had not been determined to marry Prince Xun, they might have canceled the engagement long ago. However, the wedding date that had already been set was postponed by the girl's family on the pretext of waiting and watching.
My half-brother's marriage is in the works and is about to be finalized, but in the past two days the girl's family has started to refuse, saying that their horoscopes are not compatible.
It can be said that because of Xu Huixin alone, everyone in the mansion was implicated.
One of the married concubines even went back to her parents' home because she had married well. She said, "Father and mother should discipline my third sister more. Although she and His Royal Highness the Prince have a lot in common, she should exercise some restraint. It's good that His Royal Highness the Prince has feelings for me now. If the relationship between husband and wife is no longer so sweet in the future, I'm sure His Royal Highness the Prince will dislike my third sister for being too promiscuous."
Xu Huixin was so angry that her face turned red and her fingers trembled. The prime minister's wife was also furious: "How dare you say that about your sister?"
"Mother, we are also considering our sister, but when she was intimate with His Royal Highness, did she ever care about our situation? Because of these rumors, my second sister is too ashamed to leave the house."
"Can you take the rumors seriously? Is it worth your special trip back here?"
"Mother, do you think I'm meddling in other people's business? Could it be that mother thinks this is a good thing for the Prime Minister's Mansion? Father was punished by His Majesty for this. As the head of the civil officials, if sister doesn't restrain herself, how will the scholars in the world view father in the future? Even if father returns to the court, will those civil officials obey him?"
"You are just making up your mind. You just can't stand seeing your sister doing well..."
"That's enough!" Prime Minister Xu said gloomily, then stared at Xu Huixin and said, "How many times did the prince secretly break into your boudoir the day before yesterday?"
Xu Huixin almost cried when her father said such an embarrassing thing in public. She knelt down and said, "Father, I was wrong. If you want to punish me, just punish me!"
"You are about to get married, who dares to punish you now?" The eldest illegitimate sister said sarcastically, "If His Royal Highness Prince Xun finds out that something is wrong with you, won't he take it out on the whole mansion? Sister, I'm not saying anything to you, but your wedding is only a few days away, can't you wait like this?"
"You shut up too!" Prime Minister Xu looked at Xu Huixin with a look of disappointment. "But your elder sister is right. Reputation is the most important thing for a woman. If your relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Xun is no longer so good in the future, it will be your fault."
"Hengnian will never treat me like this." Xu Huixin assured her while crying, "He said he would treat me well all his life." When these words came out, everyone shook their heads. She was still too young. Anyone with a little experience would not say such naive words.
Finally, Prime Minister Xu issued an order: "Starting tomorrow, strengthen the defense of the Prime Minister's Mansion and do not allow anyone to enter at will."
This order also thoroughly demonstrated that Xu Huixin's behavior was too frivolous, making her so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.
She asked why her mother hadn't been leaving the house to attend various banquets recently. Was it because of her?
"It's okay. When you marry His Royal Highness Prince Xun, all the rumors will slowly disappear. By then, you will be the Princess of Xun, and no one will dare to act unruly in front of you. Even the concubines and princesses will have to respect you."
"Mother, Hengnian promised me that he is trying to get father back to the court as soon as possible."
"Mother knew that you have the best future. Mother thinks that the General's Mansion might be behind this. Otherwise, with His Royal Highness Prince Xun's skills, if there was no one keeping an eye on him, how could the wife of the Marquis of Changsheng have run into him by chance?"
"General's Mansion?" Xu Huixin bit her lip. "I was the one who wronged Feng Shao. It's inevitable that he's angry."
"A grown man can't keep a woman's heart. Doesn't that mean he's useless? And our Prime Minister's Mansion has already returned the years of courtesy. He still won't let go. He really has no manliness at all."
"If there is a chance, I would like to talk to him. He and I need to live our own lives. I heard that the third and fourth princesses are both very fond of him now. He should forget about me."
The Prime Minister's wife looked proud, "Among all the girls in the capital, who can compare to you? It's normal that he can't forget you. It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Xun didn't want the third and fourth princesses, so he reconsidered him. You and His Royal Highness Prince Xun are really a match made in heaven, the most perfect couple in the world."
"Mom~" Xu Huixin acted coquettishly, her eyes full of shame. The Prime Minister's wife also laughed. The mother and daughter were both equally complacent and thought they were the most popular. Little did they know that both Feng Shao and the two princesses avoided her and Si Hengnian.
The marriage was granted only because His Majesty insisted on his own way and wanted to tie Si Hengnian down with the marriage. Even if Si Hengnian did not refuse, the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess would not agree. The reason why they did not refuse at the first time was because they knew Si Hengnian would speak first. So why would they go through all this trouble?
The Prime Minister's wife and Xu Huixin also apparently forgot that it was Feng Shao himself who canceled the engagement with Xu Huixin because he disliked the fact that Xu Huixin had lost her reputation and innocence first. And the two of them are still imagining that the other person is still obsessed with it!
In the General's Mansion, Song Xia recalled her past life. In her past life, because she did not expose the affair between Si Hengnian and Xu Huixin in time, her son Feng Shao became more and more deeply in love with Xu Huixin. Fortunately, in this life, she exposed the affair between Si Hengnian and Xu Huixin before Xu Huixin played with her son's feelings.
What she didn't expect was that all the changes in this life were beneficial to her. She didn't even need to do it herself, her children handled it beautifully. Was she starting to enjoy her life early?
She thought that since it was the children's good intentions, she would let them do whatever they wanted. After all, they were the children she personally raised, and their abilities were beyond doubt. Prince Xun and Xu Huixin were unlucky to have met them. She only needed to wait and watch the show, and occasionally make delicious food to reward the children. (End of this chapter)
