Chapter 395: Chapter 395. The Original Marriage Was Broken
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Shuisheng looked at the sincere expression on Yeluchun’s face and felt a moment of sadness. He had thought that Qiu Yongkang was a good match for Xiaoying and would marry them after he had taken revenge. Yongkang was gentler and more considerate of Xiaoying than her brother and would never let Xiaoying suffer.
Because he had always wanted to marry Xiaoying to his good brother, Ji Shuisheng was not in a hurry to find a husband for Xiaoying.
But now, things were not the same, and people had changed. Yong Kang had become ruthless. How could he dare to hand over his sister to him?
Xiaoying’s original marriage was broken, and her marriage was imminent. He had to help her find a good in-law as soon as possible.
Whether it was his appearance, personality, or status, Yeluchun was considered outstanding. It was just that his status as a member of the royal family made Ji Shuisheng hesitate.
Xiaoying could not adapt to the deception of the royal family. Even if Yeluchun no longer took concubines, Xiaoying could not adjust to the complicated etiquette of the royal family.
Ji Shuisheng remained silent. Yeluchun’s heart was in his throat as he looked at Ji Shuisheng uneasily.
Yeluchun smiled bitterly in his heart. He was a prince, and he was willing to give up three palaces and six courtyards for Xiaoying, but he was still worried that Ji Shuisheng would disagree?
“I can’t promise you that. 1 have to go back and ask Xiaoying for her opinion.”
After careful consideration, Ji Shuisheng looked up at the anxiously waiting Yeluchun. His frank att.i.tude made Ji Shuisheng have a better impression of him.
“Alright then.”
Yelvchun agreed helplessly. Haste makes waste. Ji Shuisheng no longer had an uncompromising att.i.tude, which was a good start. He had confidence in Xiaoying. Her eyes sparkled when she saw him, and her smile was as sweet as honey.
Zhong Yong had been listening to their conversation from the side. When he heard that Yeluchun liked Xiaoying and would give up a chance to have three palaces and six courtyards for her, Zhong Yong was happy for Xiaoying.
His mother was dead, and he was a filial son. He had to mourn for three years before he could marry. Zhong Yong did not want to delay Xiaoying. He felt his feelings for Xiaoying were that of a brother and sister.
He was willing to protect Xiaoying for the rest of her life and ready to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire for her, but he still felt awkward being married.
When his mother was still alive, he wanted to tell her that he only had sibling feelings for Xiaoying, but he was afraid that his mother would be sad, so he never said it.
Now that such an outstanding man liked Xiaoying, Zhong Yong was happy for her.
No one else knew that he was engaged to Xiaoying. Zhong Yong wanted to bury this matter in his heart and never let anyone know.
“I’ve arranged another yurt for you and Brother Zhong. This yurt will be for Miss Su to live in.”
It was getting late. Yelvchun got up and told Ji Shuisheng that he had arranged another room for him. He knew about the relations.h.i.+p between Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng. The Central Plains was a country of etiquette, and fiancees could not live together.
“Alright, Zhong Yong, follow the Third Prince to his new residence.”
Ji Shuisheng promised to turn around and let Zhong Yong and Yeluchun leave, but he had no intention of leaving.
Yeluchun looked at him deeply, then left with a meaningful look.
“Why don’t you go back to sleep?”
Su Qing saw the Third Prince’s strange gaze and asked Ji Shuisheng with a straight face after he left.
“I still have something to discuss with you.”
Ji Shuisheng wouldn’t tell Su Qing he wanted to spend more intimate time with her alone. These days, if they weren’t separated, other people would be around. He didn’t even have the chance to get close to Su Qing.
“What is it?”
Su Qing believed it and thought Ji Shuisheng had something important to discuss.
“It’s just that… I want to be alone with you.”
Ji Shuisheng dragged out his voice as he spoke. His dark eyes were as deep as the sea and hid a cl.u.s.ter of flames. He walked in front of her step by step. His deep voice was like a feather that seduced Su Qing’s ears.
Ji Shuisheng’s tall figure covered her, and his manly solid breath entered her breath. Su Qing was not in the mood to flirt. If she wanted to rest easy, she had to remove the danger in front of her first.
Su Qing placed his hands on Ji Shuisheng’s chest muscles and pushed the distance between them.”
“Let’s get down to business first!”
Ji Shuisheng did not want to overthink his brother’s betrayal. He pulled Su Qing into his arms and hugged her tightly. He buried his face in Su Qing’s smooth neck and said to her in a low voice,”
“Su Qing, 1 don’t want to think about Qiu Yongkang’s betrayal; 1 don’t want my good brother to become ruthless; I don’t want my G.o.dmother to die in his hands.”
Ji Shuisheng’s voice was filled with sadness. He closed his sharp eyes, and the memories of him and Qiu Yongkang learning martial arts together surfaced in his mind. The four of them were sworn brothers of the opposite s.e.x. They could not live on the same day but die on the same day.
“… Qiu Yong Kang is no longer your good brother; he is now your biggest enemy; being merciful to your enemy is being cruel to yourself.”
Su Qing did not understand Ji Shuisheng’s feelings for Qiu Yongkang. In her dictionary, betrayal was an enemy that had to be eliminated.
“Let’s just keep our eyes on the crisis before us!”
Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng with a severe expression. Ji Shuisheng frowned slightly.
“It’s a pity that we can’t find the key. As long as we take out the commander’s seal, we can rebuild the Xiao Family Army.”
“When I return to Mo City and ask Grandpa for the box, I’ll try to make a copy.”
Su Qing had previously asked the system for plasticine to put in the keyhole to duplicate the key. However, she had already handed the box containing the commander’s seal to Qin Feng for safekeeping when she left Mo City. Without the box with her, she could not make the key.
“Alright, if there is still no news from Yong Kang tomorrow, we will return to Mo City to prepare for war.”
When Ji Shuisheng heard Su Qing mention the commander’s seal box, his expression became serious. If Qiu Yongkang sided with Wan Shengchang and his son, Mo City would welcome a great war. He had to prepare early.
“Alright, get some rest.”
Su Qing agreed with Ji Shuisheng’s suggestion. They had already handed Qiu Yongkang’s portrait to the Third Prince. It was not easy to find him in a day or two. The current situation did not allow them to stay any longer. The deployment of Mo City was imminent.
Upon hearing Su Qing’s order to leave, Ji Shuisheng seized the opportunity to pull her into his arms. He used his stubbled chin to rub her hair gently. His deep voice was magnetic and very emotional.
“Are you willing to let me go?”
“I’m willing, very willing.”
Su Qing felt his entire body heat up from his actions. He pushed him out of the yurt.
“Sweet dreams.”
When the soldiers outside saw Ji Shuisheng being pushed out of the yurt, they quickly stood up straight and pretended not to see anything.
Ji Shuisheng glanced at them and coughed awkwardly. He turned around and wanted to say goodnight to Su Qing, but he saw that she had already closed the door of the yurt.
Ji Shuisheng blinked and had a strange thought in his heart. Had he been kicked out?
The following day, Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing got up early and had breakfast before bidding farewell to Yelvchun.
Yelvchun was listening to the reports of two soldiers. He would wake up at the rooster’s crowing every day and return at sunset. He was already swamped even before he took charge of the government, but he still found people for his future brother-in-law.
When he learned that Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing had arrived, Yeluchun hurriedly ordered people to invite them into the palace. When he saw them, he said,
“Brother Ji, you came at the right time. I was just about to look for you because of an important situation..”
