Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 236 No more regrets
Now that the Xie family has disbanded, Mr. Xie is completely addicted to gambling and can never look back.Not to mention the prodigal family, all the wives and concubines were sold, the family business was divided up, and there was nothing left.

Mr. Xie is in debt all over his body, maybe he still insists on Xie Yanniang, which is a disaster.

The eldest princess squinted her eyes, it was rare for her to like a child, and she had to plan a thing or two for Xie Yanniang.

Anyway, Mr. Xie is not a good person, and it is just a matter of lip service to pass a few words to the casino to inform the other party of Mr. Xie's whereabouts.

Back at the Princess Mansion, the three of them took a shower and changed their clothes.

The eldest princess was pressed down by the mother, she washed the zong leaves in a daze, and was helped to step over the brazier, saying that it was to remove bad luck, which really made her dumbfounded.

She only spent one night in the dungeon, but she worried the people around her.

Mammy sent some delicious snacks, so that the eldest princess would not feel uncomfortable after eating greasy things after starving in the dungeon.

As soon as Xie Yanniang came over, she was held back by the eldest princess: "Good boy, hurry up and help me eat more, the mother is afraid that I will be hungry, so she sent a lot of snacks, I really can't eat by myself."

Hearing this, Xie Yanniang sat on the side obediently, she was also hungry all night, and she stuffed two pieces of snacks into her stomach, so she felt that she had stuffed herself with something.

I didn't feel it when I was in the palace, but now that I came out, my stomach was empty. I guess even if there was a cow in front of her, she might be able to fill it up.

After eating, Xie Yanniang's complexion improved a little, but she was still tired.

The wound on the hand still needs to be treated. The eldest princess ordered someone to bring the wound medicine, and then teased her: "I have asked the nanny to prepare a room for you, and it is in Xiyuan. There are not many maids passing by there, and the location is remote. Some, but just for you two, so you won't be disturbed."

"For food and use, I'll ask the mother to give you the motherboard. Even if you don't come out for a whole day, you won't be hungry."

Xie Yanniang's face was reddened by the eldest princess's words, which clearly meant that she and the Prince Regent separated just after they got married, and they hadn't been able to bridal chamber yet, and now it's time to free up a quiet yard for the two of them: "He'll have a good rest for a night. I'm afraid I'm going to rush to the border town."

The smile on the eldest princess's lips faded a bit, she nodded and said: "Yes, in the eyes of these men, making meritorious deeds and defending the country are more important than anything else."

After that, she frowned again and said: "Even if you have to hurry, it's not too late to delay for one night. You don't have to follow him in everything, who knows how long this battle will take, just let him leave an heir as soon as possible. You should understand that life will not be so boring when you have children by your side. Otherwise, men will be in the border town for three to five years, but women's age is limited."

When I get older, if I want to give birth, I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth.

Xie Yanniang's face was almost on fire from what she said, she stood up in a hurry, said goodbye and left.

It's not that I don't understand that the eldest princess is doing it for her own good.

Spreading branches and leaves for the Li family was originally what Xie Yanniang should do.

But a child cannot be born by one person, she procrastinated back to Xiyuan, stood at the door hesitantly, really didn't know how to speak.

"Why stand outside and not come in?" Ruan Jingxin opened the door and smiled at her.

"The flowers bloomed just right, so I stopped to admire them." Xie Yanniang randomly found an excuse, only to see that the smile on Ruan Jingxin's lips deepened.

When she looked back, the garden in Xiyuan was bare, where were the flowers?
Xie Yanniang lowered her head in embarrassment, wishing she could dig a hole and get in.

There are no flowers at all, how should I reward them?
"What did the princess say to the concubine that made you so absent-minded?" Ruan Jingxin sat down at the table with her arms around her, and personally poured a cup of flower tea for Xie Yanniang.

Xie Yanniang stretched out her hand, but the teacup was taken away by him, she couldn't help being puzzled.

But Ruan Jingxin picked up the teacup and handed it to her mouth: "My concubine's hand is hurt, she should be serving you for her husband."

Xie Yanniang blushed, shook her head and said, "It's just a finger injury, it's not enough to hold the cup."

Ruan Jingxin insisted on avoiding her outstretched hand, obviously on purpose.

Xie Yanniang could only blushed, lowered her head and took a sip, only felt that today's scented tea had a strong fragrance, which made her a little dizzy, and felt that the scented tea was sweeter and more intoxicating than before.

She became more and more restless, Ruan Jingxin had already put down the tea cup, covered Xie Yanniang's smooth and beautiful black hair with her big palm, and gently stroked it, her fingertips passed through the black hair and landed on the side of her neck.

"It's so itchy..." Xie Yanniang shrank her neck and couldn't help laughing as her big palm brushed behind her ears.

Ruan Jingxin hooked the corners of her lips, and said with a smile, "You are still the same as before. You are very ticklish behind your ears. If you touch it a little, you will feel itchy and roll all over. Don't let me touch it again."

Xie Yanniang heard this, but the smile on her face gradually faded.

She had no contact with the Prince Regent at all before, and the only time she was together was when she was in a coma and turned into a bobcat.

Originally, there was a lump in her heart that Ruan Jingxin would marry herself because of the fact that she, the Shanmao, had saved the regent.

It's to repay the favor, not to really like myself.

It should be said that Ruan Jingxin liked Shan Mao who was by his side, not Xie Yanniang who was sitting in front of him now.

Although they were all hers and those memories were all my own, there was a kind of unspeakable melancholy.

Xie Yanniang knew very well that she was having a quarrel, whether it was Shan Mao or the current Prince Regent and Princess, wasn't she the only one?
But she felt that Ruan Jingxin kept mentioning the lynx again and again, as if the person sitting in front of him was not a person, but a former pet.

Ruan Jingxin's movements paused, and he could see Xie Yanniang's displeasure.

Is it because he didn't like his frivolous behavior just now, or is Xie Yanniang not happy to be close to her?

Thinking of Xie Yanniang's frank confession that those so-called dreams were actually experienced by her.

Then she is the side concubine of the fifteenth prince, and his bedside person.

She used to be another man's wife, so you're not used to his approach?
Ruan Jingxin paused, but finally withdrew his hand, maybe Xie Yanniang needed time to get familiar with him.

The two fell silent for a moment and sat facing each other.

Although they are so close that you can touch each other as long as you stretch out your hand, it seems that the two hearts are drifting apart.

Xie Yanniang secretly raised her head to look at Ruan Jingxin, he had already torn off the human skin mask, revealing his handsome face.

The gentle man in the dream overlapped with him, and she suddenly felt her heart beating like a drum, and a heart almost jumped out of her mouth.

Xie Yanniang lowered her head again, she was afraid that Ruan Jingxin would see her blushing.

Ruan Jingxin felt her gaze, and turned away in the blink of an eye, like a frightened rabbit, but jumped away in an instant, feeling distressed.

It is not difficult for him to lead the army to fight. With thousands of troops in his hands, he can plan strategies.

But facing a little girl's emotions, Ruan Jingxin was at a loss as to where to comfort her.

He searched his brains and felt that it would not be a good thing to keep silent like this.

Before Ruan Jingxin could speak, someone came from outside the door and said, "Princess, the Eldest Princess has an invitation."

Xie Yanniang was surprised, how could the princess suddenly want to summon her in the middle of the night?

Thinking of the teasing look on the eldest princess's face before, she would not bother them if there was nothing important, so she got up quickly and hurried away with Ruan Jingxin.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the princess's yard. Two gray-haired doctors were taking turns to diagnose the pulse of the people on the couch. They both shook their heads at the princess: "I'm not talented, I'm afraid..."

Seeing Xie Yanniang stepping in, followed by Ruan Jingxin.

The eldest princess paused, waved her hands and said, "You can let her wake up, just persist for half a day."

The doctor nodded, and one of them took out the silver needle, pierced it on the wrist of the person on the couch, and took it off in a short while.

The other person took out a purple pill and fed it, put three fingers on his wrist to feel his pulse, and nodded slightly.

"Princess, this is..." Xie Yanniang took a step forward, and saw a woman on the couch with sharp eyes.

When she got closer, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

The person on the couch was none other than Liu Zifu!

But Liu Zifu should be in a town in the south, how could she be in Beijing?
Why are you in such a mess when you come to Beijing?

Xie Yanniang saw that Liu Zifu was as skinny as a stick, how could she see her original plump beauty?

Her face was haggard and dusty, and if she kept on going, her eyes would turn red.

Ruan Jingxin put his arms around her shoulders, reassuring Xie Yanniang.

Her small face was buried in Ruan Jingxin's shoulder, and it took her a while to calm down. She raised her head, with a hint of redness in the corner of her eyes: "Princess, why is my mother here?"

Even though Liu Zifu was not her biological mother, she raised herself up with painstaking efforts.

It is also appropriate to call mother.

The eldest princess sighed: "She went to Xie's mansion, looking for you. Unfortunately, Xie's mansion has changed hands a long time ago. The evil slaves at the gate saw that she was not well dressed, and looked down upon her, so they picked up sticks to drive them away. It took two sticks in the end before he was stopped."

She was planning to find Master Xie's bad luck, so she sent people to look around, who knew that she happened to meet Liu Zifu in Xie's mansion.Seeing that Liu Zifu kept saying that she was Master Xie's concubine, she took her away.

After inquiring clearly, Liu Zifu was indeed Mr. Xie's concubine, so she was carried into the princess mansion.

Unexpectedly, not only did this person suffer from two sticks, but his body was also dying.

It is also because of this that Liu Zifu traveled all the way to find Xie Yanniang.

No matter what, a mother always wants to see her child, even if it is the last time.

"She is very ill, and she has traveled long distances to empty out her foundation. The two doctors in the house are famous imperial physicians. Even they can't save her. I'm afraid it's a bad luck. The princess should accompany her well." The princess sighed again, seeing Liu Zifu woke up, she got up and left.

Ruan Jingxin stood behind Xie Yanniang, reaching out to support her, for fear that she might not be able to bear it and faint.

Xie Yanniang walked to the bed with difficulty, and saw Liu Zifu slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw her, she showed the same loving smile as before: "Qiu'er, I finally met you, and I have no regrets in this life..."
