How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Before you accept the inheritance, you must swear a blood oath. Once you break the blood oath, you will die in agony as thousands of ants devour your heart."

Jiang Changge reminded Tong Xindao that he must swear a blood oath before accepting the inheritance.

This means that if she accepts the inheritance, she will never be able to return to Xu Chengling.

Even so, is she still willing to accept the inheritance?

Jiang Changge would not make things difficult for her, but would give the choice to Tongxin.

After all, only if Tong Xin is willing, can the Blood Demon Sect rise again in her hands, and no one can force her.

"Grandma Jiang, I understand. I will take on this responsibility."

Tongxin nodded. She had already prepared herself mentally. Once she had dealt with the sect’s affairs, she would go back to see him.

She believed that even if she left, she wouldn't be away for too long.

So, Tongxin promised Jiang Changge that she would leave with him in a month.

Before that, she wanted to stay with her master for a while longer and say goodbye to him properly.

……

Tongxin returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a heavy heart, and then she learned that because of her temporary departure, her master was almost in danger.

"Tong Xin, is there anything on your mind?"

Xu Chengling saw that she was worried, so he asked her about it.

"It's nothing important."

Tongxin shook her head, and after thinking about it, she took Xu Chengling's hand and returned to her room.

In her room, Tong Xin raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. She hesitated for a while and couldn't help but say:

"Master, if Tong'er suddenly leaves you one day, you must take good care of yourself. Even if Tong'er is not by your side, you must pay attention to your safety."

Hearing Tong Xin's words, Xu Chengling was stunned, and then put his hand on her shoulder and asked:

"Tong'er, what happened to you today? Did Jiang Changge come to see you again and ask you to go back?"

"Don't worry about what she says. I'm here. If she dares to touch you, even if she is your relative, I will definitely make her pay for it."

Xu Chengling waved his fist and spoke viciously.

There is no doubt that the old friend Tongxin mentioned just now was probably Jiang Changge. This old woman wanted to kidnap his Tongxin again, and he was the first one to disagree.

If you want to snatch Tong Xin from him, you have to step over his body first.

Chapter 275: She Lived Her Life for Him

"No, Tong'er doesn't want to leave."

Tongxin quickly shook her head, afraid that Xu Chengling would see that she wanted to leave.

During this month, she just wanted to stay with her master quietly and tell him the truth on the day they said goodbye.

Seeing that Tong Xin didn't want to leave, Xu Chengling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He pinched Tong Xin's delicate face and said:

"Girl, you always say you want to leave. Did I treat you badly?"

"No, no, the master is very good to Tong'er, really very good."

Tongxin's head shook like a rattle.

"You still want to leave? No, I can support you for the rest of your life."

Xu Chengling shrugged and said.

Tongxin's face turned red because of what he said, and she couldn't help but bury her head in his chest.

"Master, don't care too much about my feelings. You should spend more time with your wife. Tong'er can take care of herself."

"Madam also agrees that you and I should be together. Speaking of which, it seems that Madam has been married into the Xiangguo Mansion for a year."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chengling suddenly remembered something. He didn't expect time to pass so quickly and a year had passed in a flash.

He once promised his wife that he would not take a concubine within a year after marrying her and would only treat her well.

And now, the time he agreed upon has arrived.

In other words, he can now take a concubine, and his wife had agreed to this before.

At this time, Xu Chengling looked at Tongxin in front of him and remembered the agreement he had made with her.

So, he couldn't wait to pull Tong Xin's hand and said to her:

"Tong'er, I'll take you to a place now."

After saying that, he took Tongxin and left the Xiangguo Mansion, not knowing where they were going.

On the way, Tong Xin couldn't help but ask him:

"Master, where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Xu Chengling said mysteriously, and the two walked for a long way and finally came to a temple.

Tong Xin looked up at the temple in front of her and asked with some confusion:

"Master, what are we doing here?"

"We'll talk later. I plan to give you a surprise."

Xu Chengling continued to remain silent and pulled Tongxin to the temple.

In the temple, they met an abbot, who immediately recognized Xu Chengling's identity.

"Prime Minister Xu, what brings you to this temple?"

"Host, I would like to ask you for a favor. Please help me calculate an auspicious date for her and me."

"Auspicious day?"

The host looked at Xu Chengling, then at the woman beside him, and immediately understood what he meant.

So the host asked for their birth dates.

Xu Chengling quickly wrote down his birth date, but when it was Tongxin's turn, she didn't know what to do.

She lost her parents at a young age, her sect was destroyed, and she had long forgotten her own date of birth.

So she thought about it, and finally wrote down a date on paper.

When Xu Chengling saw the date Tongxin wrote on the paper, he was stunned. He was so familiar with this day.

That was the day he picked up Tongxin and brought her back to his house. In Tongxin’s heart, that was also the day she was reborn, which was equivalent to her “birth date”.

The host got the birth dates of the two people, calculated for a while, and said with a smile:

"My two benefactors, I have calculated for you that one month from now will be the auspicious day for you two."

Tongxin looked at the smile on the host's face, and remembered that the host had just asked for their birth dates and mentioned an auspicious day. She finally understood what this auspicious day was.

"My Lord, could it be that..."

She couldn't help but stand there in a daze, her emerald eyes looking at Xu Chengling in disbelief. So this was the surprise he wanted to give her?

Seeing Tongxin's surprised expression, Xu Chengling couldn't help but smile and said to her:

"That's right, Tong'er. You've worked hard all these years. Before, my wife had just married into the family, so I had to give her a year. Now that the one year is up, I can finally express my feelings to you."

Under Tong Xin's widened pupils, Xu Chengling lifted her slender hand and put a beautiful emerald ring on her middle finger.

The color of this gem is almost exactly the same as her emerald eyes. Xu Chengling chose for a long time before finally choosing this emerald gem.

Under the witness of the host, Xu Chengling half-knelt on the ground, gently took Tongxin's slender hand, and said to her:

"Tong'er, I promised you that I would give you a name, and now I can finally do it. Please join me in life from now on, and I will support you for the rest of your life."

When he said he would support her for a lifetime, he was not just saying it, but he sincerely wanted to be with her forever.

Faced with Xu Chengling's sudden proposal, Tongxin was caught off guard. She couldn't help but stand there in a daze, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Then, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, tears of emotion welled up in her eyes, and clusters of pearls slid down from the corners of her eyes. Isn't this what she has always wanted?

"Yes, Master, Tong'er promises you."

Tongxin nodded vigorously, tears falling down her face, but her face was full of a happy smile.

She looked at the ring on her hand that was carefully prepared for her, and her heart was filled with happiness.

The host also witnessed a beautiful event. He didn't expect Xu Chengling to suddenly propose to him in the temple. This is a quiet place for Buddhism. Amitabha.

"Congratulations on your marriage, my two benefactors."

The host put his hands together and blessed them both.

The two talented men and beautiful women are a perfect match made in heaven.

If they just wait one more month, on an auspicious day, they will be able to achieve their goal.

"One month later..."

Tong Xin was muttering something, and something seemed to come to her mind, and her originally joyful expression suddenly froze.

Faced with the feelings expressed by her master, she suddenly didn't want to leave anymore. She wanted to stay by his side forever.

No matter what happens in the future, as long as they stay together, they will be able to overcome it.

"Master, Tong'er promises you that Tong'er will not go anywhere and will stay by your side forever."

Tong Xin clasped her hands tightly to her chest and assured him.

She will not go anywhere in the future, she will always stay with her master.

But will everything really go as she wishes?

……

After successfully proposing to Tongxin, Xu Chengling was very happy.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he explained the matter to his wife, acting first and reporting later.

When Yan Jixue heard that Xu Chengling wanted to take Tongxin as his concubine, she was not too surprised. Tongxin was a good girl, and she just hoped that he would not treat her too badly in the future.

Moreover, when she learned that Xu Chengling had not married for a year for her sake, she was already very moved. How could she stop him from taking a concubine?

I just hope that he doesn't bring back too many women, because if that happens, the time he spends on me will gradually decrease.

After getting her consent, the marriage was settled.

The next thing to do is to wait for the auspicious day.

After returning to her room, Tong Xin was already looking forward to that day.

She was finally able to be with her master openly and face her inner feelings.

She lived her life for him.

Chapter 276 A Qualified Legal Wife

Xu Chengling and Tongxin made a marriage contract, which would be held in a month.

Not many people knew about this, because Tongxin was taken into the Prime Minister's Mansion as a concubine, and her status naturally could not be compared with that of a wife.

Concubines could not wear red wedding dresses, could not worship heaven and earth, and could only enter through the side door. Their status was far different from that of the wife.

But even so, the status of a concubine is higher than that of a maid, and she has a real status.

For Xu Chengling, whether it is a wife or a concubine, their status in his heart is the same. Since Tongxin married him, she is his second wife.

Before the auspicious day arrived, life in the Prime Minister's Mansion remained the same as before, without much change.

Tong Xin inspected the Xiangguo Mansion as usual, and then returned to her room.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, but this knocking habit was not Xu Chengling's.

But who else would come to see her except Xu Chengling?
