Chapter 237: Having a Husband Is All I Need

On the jade plate were neatly placed ten golden ingots, a few universal silver notes with a denomination of one hundred taels each, and several exquisite jewelry boxes.

Nan Jiao stared blankly at the items displayed on the jade plate. Her face turned from white to red. A feeling of humiliation swept over her, making her so embarrassed that she was almost ashamed. However, she could not say a word at this time.

The prince of Northern Xinjiang has a distinguished status. Even if he is a guest of Dazhou, he is still a valuable guest and cannot be offended by her. She should have expected such a result as early as the night she took the initiative to show her kindness.

But Duanmu Yu's behavior tonight still made her feel a kind of naked humiliation. He was like a patron in a brothel. After he was satisfied, he gave away some money, but she didn't even have the courage to bargain, and she didn't even have any other choice. After her dignity was completely trampled on, she could only accept the rewards in silence - that's what she lacked now.

"I know your current situation. These are what you need. Keep them." Duanmu Yu said calmly, "But you have never thought about who caused this situation? This prince has always had a problem. Good habits, easy to hold grudges. If someone offends me, he will have to pay the price even if he risks his life. After all, Miss Nan is a delicate girl. Now she can hardly live anymore, but she doesn’t know how to find the culprit. Want justice?"

Nan Jiao bit her lip. When she heard the words "I can't live any longer," she felt that her cheeks were hot, as if someone had poured hot oil on her. She bit her lip tightly and clenched her hands unconsciously. mattress.

"While there are few people at night, I will send someone to take you back." Duanmu Yu dropped these words, turned around and walked out. "Get dressed."

"Prince!" Nan Jiao looked up at his strong back, climbed out of bed and knelt down, "Please take me away, I... I can't marry anyone else if I stay in Dazhou. In the future, I ...How can I see anyone? Prince, please! Prince——"

Duanmu Yu walked out indifferently, ignoring her pleas.

Nan Jiao collapsed on the ground in despair, her face as pale as paper.

Duanmuyu left Dazhou early the next morning, and Nanjiao was sent back to Nan's house in the middle of the night.

"All the annoying people are gone, and I feel that my ears suddenly feel a lot quieter." Xuanyuan Xi sat in the pavilion and smiled casually, "It's difficult for them to rush on a hot day, and they are in a hurry at this time."

"You deserve it." Nan Xi smiled lightly, "Who made them want to bully Rong Yu?"

Do you think that with the emperor's power being emptied out, you can take the opportunity to disrupt the Zhou Dynasty? They are not young, but their thought of being deep and scheming turns out to be as childish and superficial as a three-year-old baby in front of Rong Yu, which is very ridiculous.

Xuanyuan Xi looked at her: "Are you married and everything is ready now?"

Nan Xi was quiet for a moment and nodded slowly: "For most women nowadays, having a perfect husband means having everything."

Xuanyuan Xi was noncommittal: "When do you plan to go to Dongling?"

"If you ask me about my own wishes, I don't want to go at all." Nan Xi sipped her tea, "How about staying in Dazhou? Be a regent princess that everyone admires, enjoy endless glory and wealth, and wear endless clothes. The silks and satins, the noble ladies and young ladies who usually have high esteem, have to grovel in front of me. They can no longer be as majestic as before. When our child is born, let Rong Yu make him the emperor. , we can live a happy life as a couple of gods and gods, and be as happy as we want.”

"Isn't it more majestic to be Her Majesty the Queen, who is above all others?"

"That's different." Nan Xi shook his head, "I don't have any sense of belonging to Dongling. It's like Dazhou is my home, but after I went to Dongling, I became a guest. And even if this guest has the supreme status, that kind of It still feels different from staying at home.”

"You are worried that Rong Yu will be wronged." Xuanyuan Xi exposed her truest thoughts with one sentence, "There is a girl in my family who grew up, and when she grew up, she became someone else's family. This really doesn't matter. wrong."

A married daughter throws away water and puts her husband first in everything.

Nan Xi narrowed her eyes: "If you care too much about someone, you will worry about gains and losses. Now I have truly understood the weight of myself in Rong Yu's heart, and I also understand the importance of him in my heart. If I could choose, I would never want to in this life I won’t hurt him even a hair, but I really don’t know much about the situation in Dongling, and I’m afraid that I might have inadvertently overlooked something and made him feel wronged.”

Xuanyuan Xi said gently: "Rong Yu is not as fragile as you think."

Nan Xi said nothing.

In the eyes of many people, Rong Yu is an invincible strong man, tough, cold, and ruthless, but emotionally he never feels safe, and there is paranoia hidden in his bones, which makes Nan Xi feel heartbroken.

Only Nan Xi knew best that Rong Yu could endure any hardship, but he could not withstand even a little emotional harm.

She was silent for a moment: "Mom, after going to Dongling, can I be a queen who doesn't care about political affairs?"

Xuanyuan Xi looked at her in surprise, and for a moment, a clear look appeared in his eyes: "Do you want Rong Yu to be in power to give him a sufficient sense of security?"

Nan Xi nodded.

"Xi'er, Rong Yu's sense of security is not obtained by relying on power." Xuanyuan Xi sighed, "Mom has already said that he is not as fragile as you think. I can understand that you like him and feel sorry for him, but There is no need to treat him as a fragile child, and he may be self-defeating if he goes too far.”

Too much, not enough?

Nan Xi closed her eyes and fell silent, her eyes falling on the lid of the tea cup. She didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

"Don't think too much. Dongling is not a den of dragons and tigers. It's not as scary as you think." Xuanyuan Xi smiled and patted the back of her hand. "If there is any danger or uncertainty, I will not let you go back. Besides, with the support of the Priest's Hall, no one dares to embarrass you."

Nan Xi raised her eyes and looked at her. After a moment, she nodded gently: "Thank you, mother."

"Rong Yu is here." Xuanyuan Xi looked at the man walking in the distance and stood up on her own initiative. "I won't disturb you two young couples' affection. You can discuss with Rong Yu to see when it is more appropriate to set off. My suggestion is after Chongyang, in mid-September."

Nan Xi said: "Mid-September?"

Xuanyuan Xi nodded: "The climate in mid-September is cool and suitable for traveling. In September, your dangerous period will be over. Don't worry about causing too much discomfort. Don't be too anxious to travel. It's okay to arrive before the twelfth lunar month."

"Mother-in-law is very thoughtful." Rong Yu came over and said in a gentle voice, "Let's decide it."

Xuanyuan Xi smiled and turned to walk out of the pavilion.

Rong Yu sat down next to Nan Xi: "Yun Ting and Ye Qingcheng have already arrived in Shu."
