Ch 278: Prince Xian Can Give Her the Best

Outside the door, a maid said, “Princess, Young Miss just fell asleep.”

Cuiping, “There’s no light in the room.”

“……”

Hearing the voice of Cuiping, who was by her aunt’s side, Ju Nian’er quickly got out of bed and opened the door without putting on her shoes!

The maid said, “Young Miss, why aren’t you wearing shoes?”

Ju Nian’er quickly threw herself into Yuan Xueyue’s arms, “I haven’t slept yet.”

Yuan Xueyue reached out and rubbed her head, smiling, “Aunt is here to accompany you.”

“En!”

Yuan Xueyue lifted Ju Nian’er up and carried her into the room.

“Are you scared?”

“Tomorrow you’ll go to see your mother, for the first memorial ceremony.”

Yuan Xueyue asked.

Ju Nian’er shook her head, “I’m not scared.”

“Mother was very fond of me when she was alive, I’m just afraid of being alone.”

Yuan Xueyue placed her on the bed and gently patted her back, “Nian’er, you still have us.”

“Your Second Brother Changsong, Changxing, Yunxing, and you’ll have more companions in the future.”

Hearing this, Ju Nian’er, in the dim light of the room, reached out to touch Yuan Xueyue’s belly.

“Is it here?”

Ju Nian’er pretended to be naive.

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “There will be in the future.”

Daybreak, early morning.

They set out at Chen Shi （7-9 AM）, with a bit of rain.

Half an hour by carriage, less than an hour on foot, they quickly reached their destination.

This Manor was where Ju Nian’er was born.

In the back hills of the Manor was where Ju Nian’er returned to her Homeland.

Ju Nian’er knelt down with a thud, placed the offerings and prepared items in front of the tomb, lit incense, and bowed.

Cuiping, with two maids, scattered white paper nearby.

Ju Nian’er bowed a few times, burning joss paper, and silently prayed,

Mother, watch over me, I will be well with Second Brother, Uncle, and Aunt.

I won’t let you worry too much.

And there are two lovely younger brothers, Heir Apparent Changxing is steady and profound.

Second Prince Yunxing is sometimes frivolous and mischievous, but I always feel that he is a little different.

Anyway, they are all very good…

After a while, Yuan Xueyue also came to burn some incense and scatter it.

“Nian’er, with us here, we will take good care of Nian’er.”

“You can rest assured.”

The sky was clear, and Yuan Xueyue silently watched Ju Nian’er linger for a while longer.

Suddenly, Xiaozhao stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying,

“Princess, someone has come to see you.”

Yuan Xueyue became alert, “Who?”

They were here for the memorial ceremony, how could someone come?

Guards were spread all around, keeping watch.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhao brought a woman and a girl!

It was Madam Xu and Zhong Wulian.

Yuan Xueyue didn’t say a word, exchanged a glance with Madam Xu, and understood tacitly.

Madam Xu bowed slightly to her and silently stepped forward.

Zhong Wulian also came over and joined Ju Nian’er in burning joss paper.

“You…” Ju Nian’er was surprised.

How did they come?

Madam Xu smiled faintly, “We heard it was your mother’s Death Anniversary, so we came to pay our respects.”

Ju Nian’er felt much relieved.

They actually remembered!

Then, Madam Xu burned a little incense, got up, and came to Yuan Xueyue’s side, whispering,

“How is it?”

Madam Xu knew something, Prince Xian was fighting a war, and this world was about to change hands.

Yuan Xueyue said, “It’s going well, what, have you thought it through?”

Madam Xu smiled, undeniably.

“Indeed, I didn’t dare to think about it before, but we haven’t lived enough, I admit I was a little selfish.”

“But now, raising Wulian alone, I really can’t give her a good life.”

Yuan Xueyue, “So?”

Suddenly, Madam Xu knelt down with a thud!

Yuan Xueyue was surprised, “What is the meaning of this?”

Madam Xu, “I beg the Princess to grant my wish! I can be like Ju Nian’er, willing to sacrifice myself, to allow Wulian to come to your side!”

“As long as it can secure a good future for Wulian, I can even die!”

◈◈◈

Yuan Xueyue, “……”

She looked left and right, and said in a low voice,

“Now, at Nian’er’s mother’s place, don’t talk about this.”

Madam Xu was taken aback and quickly kowtowed in apology, “I’m sorry, I was presumptuous…”

Then, Madam Xu turned around and went to burn joss paper.

And Yuan Xueyue was thinking.

Actually, there was nothing much to consider, Zhong Wulian…

She could take her in.

But if Madam Xu was by her side, she would have to be demoted.

After all, with her mother present, there would be selfish motives.

Which mother wouldn’t want to seek a better future for her child?

But, the people of the Zhong Family were no longer viable.

And Madam Xu was not trustworthy either.

Who else could she entrust to watch over Madam Xu?

After Ju Nian’er finished the memorial ceremony, they left and descended the mountain in the afternoon, feeling downcast, with Zhong Wulian accompanying her, and Dai Yunxing comforting her by her side.

Dai Changxing followed, listening silently.

At the foot of the mountain.

They were about to part ways, and Madam Xu once again looked at Yuan Xueyue,

“Princess.”

Cuiping and the others were watching, thinking that Madam Xu must have a plan for coming at this time.

On the way down the mountain, Yuan Xueyue had already made up her mind.

She said,

“Wait for now, I’ll give you news in two days.”

This trip didn’t take her into account, it was so tiring and rushed, suddenly bringing Madam Xu and Zhong Wulian along would be too abrupt.

It wasn’t abandonment, nor was it disdain.

Rather, this was originally Madam Xu and Zhong Wulian’s place.

In the future, they could be allowed to live in the city!

Madam Xu was shocked and knelt down with Zhong Wulian, “Princess!”

Zhong Wulian also called out, “Aunt.”

Yuan Xueyue said, “In these two days, pack up your countryside dwelling, pack your bags, and come back.”

“The Zhong Residence can be unsealed, and so can the Yuan Residence.”

“At that time, tidy up the inside and outside of the residence, and you can choose one to move into, and you will be given your own servants and maids to serve you.”

At these words, Madam Xu was moved to tears!

“Thank you, Princess!”

“I was too selfish, changing my mind all the time.”

“Wulian, finally has someone to rely on,” Madam Xu said excitedly.

Zhong Wulian turned her head to look at her, “Mother.”

Madam Xu hugged her and said, “It’s Mother’s fault, I thought about it for so long, and still felt that I couldn’t let you suffer.”

“Mother’s life is over, I won’t consider anything else, but Wulian, you’re just starting.”

The love of parents is far-reaching.

The mother and daughter embraced, looking gratefully at Yuan Xueyue.

“That’s it, you go and prepare.”

Yuan Xueyue said, the same instructions were given to Xiaozhao and Madam Xu.

Xiaozhao would send people to tidy up the Yuan Residence and the Zhong Residence, and Madam Xu and her daughter could go wherever they wanted.

As long as they didn’t want to come to the Prince’s Residence.

Of course, Madam Xu didn’t have such an excessive idea.

Thus, everyone was satisfied.

Madam Xu saw that Yuan Xueyue was about to leave, and said, “Princess, we have always been thinking of you and praying for you!”

The Emperor and Empress, possessing the world and being the mother of the world.

She could never look up to them.

That year, in the Zhong Family’s Back Garden, a fleeting glance.

Madam Xu had a premonition, unexpectedly,

Prince Xian could indeed give Yuan Xueyue the best!

Watching them leave, Madam Xu then led Zhong Wulian to get up.

Zhong Wulian, “Mother, is this really okay? I don’t need it.”

Madam Xu, “Wulian, don’t be silly, Mother is fine, but you can’t be without!”

“Mother just wants to plan more for you.”

“Did you see those two Princes?”

Zhong Wulian, “I saw them, they are very good, what does it matter?”
