Chapter 307
Just as I was feeling touched, Xiao Cui suddenly said, "Miss, you are not worried about your uncle's marriage. In my opinion, Prince Li is a good choice. He is handsome and powerful."
"The key is that he has accepted two apprentices who are both good-looking, and they have fascinated someone so much." Qu Yingying pinched Xiao Cui's nose and said, "Little nymphomaniac."
"That's how it is." Xiao Cui held her face with both hands, smiling intoxicatedly.
Regarding Xiao Cui's proposal, she thought, it's a pity that His Majesty has a crush on Prince Li, but the person who went to issue the decree was beaten and thrown out of the palace. Those who can openly disobey the decree have no regard for His Majesty's face. The key is that His Majesty did not get angry. I don't know what kind of person will stand by such a woman.
"Not right," Qu Yingying shook her head. "Prince Li's identity remains a mystery. If someone doesn't even take His Majesty seriously, he must be arrogant."
"Yes, Prince Li is so handsome, the people around him must be picked from thousands. If she falls in love with our uncle, it would be a slap in the face of your majesty." Xiao Cui shook her head and threw away this idea. But then again, she didn't expect Prince Li to be so powerful. "If we had asked Prince Li for help earlier, maybe we wouldn't have all those troubles."
"We are not doing charity, we are not a bodhisattva who will answer every prayer," Qu Yingying said, "sometimes we still have to solve some things by ourselves."
After thinking for a long time, she still had no clue. Xiao Cui smiled and said, "I got it, Miss, wait a minute."
After a while, Xiao Cui excitedly took out needle and thread, as well as a piece of brightly colored cloth from the house, and said, "I will embroider a pair of pillows with dragon and phoenix patterns for Miss Xia, so that they will look nice when used."
The couple saved her life, so the gift had to be special. Just as she was worrying about it, she found a letter under the wedding invitation. Qu Yingying wondered why she hadn't noticed it before.
When she saw the three words "Xie Shiyuan", she was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Xiao Cui came over curiously and asked, "Master Xie asked you out, what month?"
Qu Yingying put away the letter and said, "Why don't you embroider your dragon and phoenix?"
"Don't worry, miss, do you want to see him?" Xiao Cui asked. In fact, Mr. Xie is also a pitiful man. It's not his fault that he is good-looking. First it was Ning Fanghua, and then Ning Xinyu. These two sisters are so fierce.
"I don't know." This is his fifth letter. In fact, he is also a victim. He was in his prime years, but now he has become a useless person.
Ning Xinyue's death was absolutely not a pity. She was like a poisonous snake coiled in the dark. Anyone she targeted would fall into her trap if they were not careful. The Fifth Princess was in such a state, and Xie Shiyuan was lucky to have managed to save his life.
Since the divorce, the two have not seen each other again. Everyone else thinks that she abandoned her disabled husband, but they have forgotten. A year ago, everyone thought that Qu Yingying was not worthy of him. She always remembered Xie Shiyuan's words on their wedding night, but she was also grateful to Xie Shiyuan this year.
In the teahouse, the two sat opposite each other, neither saying a word, waiting for the other to speak.
After a while, Xie Shiyuan slowly spoke, "How have you been lately?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Qu Yingying asked, "Is your injury better?"
"I recently consulted a miracle doctor, and there is hope that my legs will recover." When he said this, his tone became much lighter.
Qu Yingying was very happy to hear him stand up. "That's great." She realized that she was too excited. "I'm happy for my grandmother. She's old. When you were gone, she was worried, but she pretended to be calm."
Thinking of his grandmother, Xie Shiyuan felt sorry for "making her worry."
She sighed: "It's not your fault, it's just our bad luck. I believe it will get better in the future."
Xie Shiyuan asked gloomily, "I heard that you will leave the capital with Marshal Wang in a month, right?"
Qu Yingying pinched the cup with her fingers and replied calmly, "My uncle said that he is busy with military affairs and cannot stay for long." She continued, "He is worried about me."
"It's bitterly cold over there, please be careful." Xie Shiyuan ordered someone to hand over a brocade box, "This is what my grandmother asked me to bring to you."
"Is she, the old lady, okay?" Thinking back to the days at the Xie Mansion, the old lady treated me very well and taught me how to manage the household.
Xie Shiyuan nodded, "Very good, I just miss you and think of you often"
Everyone in Xie's house was very nice, but she had tried, but she suppressed her heart and kept convincing herself that this place was good. But after going through some things, Qu Yingying wanted to follow her heart to find the life she really wanted and pursue a more authentic self.
Qu Yingying was talking to herself, responding to past events, now she was much calmer. "I once persuaded myself that the present was good, fearing that something bad would happen. I was very cautious in the Qu family, but I still had a bad life. But fate played tricks on me. When that incident happened, I once again wanted to persuade myself that you were good, and the Xie family was good. But what happened later was still bad. My compromise and my resignation seemed ridiculous."
"But now I've figured it out. It's just because I have no choice. I can't do it. But I can choose to do what I want and follow my own ideas. Maybe it's stupid, but who knows what will happen in the future. It doesn't matter."
She just wanted to be able to decide her own life from now on, decide what to do and what to eat tomorrow without having to think about it or worry about it.
Xie Shiyuan had been quietly listening to her complaining about the past, "If that's what you think, then what are your plans for the future?"
"I want to go to different places, maybe have a different state of mind, maybe meet different people along the way, and make new friends, partners, and lovers." When Qu Yingying said this, her tone became lighter, but she was very much looking forward to it.
"That's great." Unfortunately, he was not here. Xie Shiyuan's melancholy eyes were filled with subtle expectations. He put away his bitter thoughts, lowered his eyelashes and said, "I wish you all your wishes come true and live as you wish."
"Thank you"
"This thing was given to you by your grandmother." In the box was a white fox fur coat with bright fur color and fine workmanship.
Qu Yingying didn't want to accept it and directly refused: "No merit, no reward."
He brought up a reason that Qu Yingying would not resist, "Grandma said that the climate where you are going has changed a lot, the temperature difference is too big, and girls can't stand the cold. Her kindness is..."
"Thank Zu for me, old lady." Thinking of the old lady, she accepted the gift, "I hope she will be healthy and live a long life."
"Okay." Xie Shiyuan's fingers tightly grasped the wheelchair under him, his knuckles turning white, "I will convey it."
"You, take care of yourself and take care." After saying this, Qu Yingying left.
Only one person was left with his head down, silently saying, "Take care"
He watched the people get on the carriage, and after the curtain fell, he watched the carriage go away. Xie Shiyuan watched the receding shadow from the upstairs, and it took a long time before he looked away.
"Go back!" In fact, his grandmother wanted him to take the person back today, but he couldn't say it.
