Chapter 473: Marry Into Her Family
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Xiuran held Qian Qing’s cold hands and said firmly, “They’re my parents, and I’ve already spoken to them about what they did back then. It’s okay if you don’t want to marry into the Luo family. I can marry into your family! Don’t complain that I eat too much. I can eat less. Even if I don’t have the title of Young Marquis, I can still make a living selling calligraphy and painting.” Luo Xiuran’s attitude was extremely humble. He looked at Qian Qing carefully, afraid that he would be rejected again.
Qian Qing’s heart trembled violently when she saw Luo Xiuran like that. He even said he wanted to ‘marry into her family’. In fact, she had always known what he had done for her. Because of her, his relationship with everyone in the Luo family was very strained. He even requested the Emperor to abolish his title, but the Emperor did not agree in order to restrain Marquis Luo’s
Residence and the Prince Regent’s Residence.
Seeing that Qian Qing did not respond for a long time, Luo Xiuran grew more and more anxious. Like a puppy, he begged pitifully, “Qian Qing, don’t abandon me.”
Feeling the cold on her neck, Qian Qing’s heart tightened again. He was crying.
Qian Qing still did not respond, and Luo Xiuran felt more and more uncertain.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s
Residence.
When Qian Qing lifted the curtain and saw the familiar plaque above the entrance, she quickly pushed Luo Xiuran away and whispered, “We’ve arrived at the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. I’ll leave first.”
‘Does this mean that… she rejected me again?’
Luo Xiuran lowered his gaze, feeling extremely bitter. He kept comforting himself inwardly that it was fine and that he had already expected this.
‘It doesn’t matter. If Qian Qing rejects me this time, there’s still a next time. We have a long life ahead of us. I can afford to wait.’
At this moment, Qian Qing, who had already gotten out of the carriage, suddenly turned around and said softly, “I’m sorry, but your wish to marry into my family might be difficult to fulfill. I don’t have a home, let alone a family.”
‘Huh? What does Qian Qing mean by that?’
Luo Xiuran looked at Qian Qing, puzzled.
However, Qian Qing had no intention of explaining further. After saying that, she quickly entered the residence.
At this time, realization finally dawned on Luo Xiuran.
‘Does this mean she’s willing to accept me? Yes, she’s willing to accept me!’
Luo Xiuran jumped out of the carriage and wanted to chase after Qian Qing, but she was long gone. He could only stomp his feet in frustration.
‘I have to tell Qian Qing tomorrow that it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have a family! We can create our own family!’
Luo Xiuran laughed foolishly as he wiped the tears with the back of his hand.
“Qian Qing is finally willing to accept me!”
As soon as Qian Qing returned, the lights in the courtyard lit up.
Meng Xia ran over and asked teasingly, “Sister Qian Qing, you’re back? Where’s Young Marquis Luo?”
Qian Jiao and Qian Mei also covered their mouths and giggled.
Yu Yunxi, who was sitting under a tree and sipping tea, asked teasingly as well, “That’s right, Qian Qing. Where’s Luo Xiuran?”
They had spies everywhere in and around the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. Qian Qing’s words to Luo Xiuran at the entrance of the residence had already reached their ears.
For the first time, Qian Qing revealed the shyness of a young girl. She stomped her feet and said, “Eldest Princess, don’t tease me.’
Yu Yunxi walked over and said, “Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about that for now. Did the assassins hurt you?”
Although Feng Yili said that Jiang Chuan would lead a group of people to intervene if Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing could not handle the assassins on their own, she was still very worried about Qian Qing’s safety.
“Eldest Princess, don’t worry. I’m fine. Young Marquis Luo is fine too,” Qian Qing replied as she quickly wiped the few drops of blood on her body away.
After checking Qian Qing from head to toe, Qian Qing finally sighed in relief.
Then, she turned to the others and said, “Qian Jiao, Qian Mei, Meng Xia, I’m a little hungry. Please go to the side kitchen and get me something to eat.”
The three women naturally knew that Yu Yunxi had something to say to Qian
Qing in private. They hurriedly nodded and said tactfully, “Yes, Eldest Princess.”
After the trio left, Yu Yunxi pulled Qian Qing to sit down before she asked seriously, “Qian Qing, have you thought it through?”
Qian Qing understood Yu Yunxi’s meaning. She nodded and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Eldest Princess. Luo Xiuran and I have been entangled and suffering for a long time. He didn’t do anything wrong, and he has been thinking of ways to protect me. I was stubborn before. Life is short. If I can’t let go of him, I should try to accept him again, right? Moreover, he’s willing to marry into my family,” Qian Qing said.
Yu Yunxi laughed when she heard Qian Qing’s words at the end.
‘A certain Young Marquis is really willing to go all out to chase his wife.
However, this also shows that he really cares about Qian Qing.’
“Alright. As long as that’s what you want, it’s good. However, if Luo Xiuran bullies you, you have to tell me. I won’t let him off just because he’s Feng Yili’s good friend. I promised Sister Jian that I’ll look after you,” Yu Yunxi said seriously as she held Qian Qing’s hand.
A hint of worry flashed in Qian Qing’s eyes when her sister was mentioned. She wondered out loud, “I wonder how Sister’s doing now?”
“Feng Yili’s people sent a letter from a Tianxia before this. Your sister is doing well. When we return to Tianxia in the future, we’ll go and visit her,” Yu Yunxi said.
“Okay.” Qian Qing quickly nodded.
At this time, a maidservant walked over and reported, “Eldest Princess, Miss Shuangshuang is here.”
‘Yu Shuangshuang?’
Only then did Yu Yunxi remember that Yu Shuangshuang suddenly did not feel well when they were about to leave so she did not enter the palace with her in the end.
“Bring me her in,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.
Soon, Yu Shuangshuang entered the courtyard. It was not winter yet, but she was already wearing a jacket. She was tightly wrapped up, and her face was pale.
“How do you feel?” Yu Yunxi asked.
Yu Shuangshuang bowed and said, “Shuangshuang greets the Eldest Princess. I feel much better. Thank you for your concern, Eldest Princess.”
Qian Qing got up and brought a chair over for Yu Shuangshuang. However, when she accidentally touched the back of Yu Shuangshuang’s hand, she discovered the latter’s hand was abnormally hot. She asked solemnly, “Do you have a fever?”
“Yes, but I’ve already taken medicine so I don’t feel so bad anymore,” Yu Shuangshuang replied, quickly shaking her head.
Yu Yunxi frowned. “What’s going on? Why did you suddenly feel unwell at the last minute?”
Upon hearing these words, a hint of anger could be seen in Yu Shuangshuang’s eyes as she said, “Last night, Grandmother suddenly summoned me. I had no choice but to go over. When I was there, she didn’t make things difficult for me. She just made me kneel for a while. However, when I was on my way back, a figure suddenly rushed when I was passing the pond and pushed me into the pond. Fortunately, my maidservant knows how to swim. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to see me alive today.”
Yu Shuangshuang spoke through gritted teeth nearing the end of her words..
