Jiang Xue was a little annoyed: "Brother, what are you talking about? What do you an you won’t let just marry off? Did I say I wanted to get married?"
"Alright, alright, you’re not getting married, but the marriage agreent between the two countries has been signed. How likely do you think it is to change that?"
This is also what angers Jiang Xue the most: "Good for you, Beiming Yi. While we siblings weren’t around, what kind of mind-bending soup did you feed him to make him happily sign the marriage agreent with you? You’re pushing into a pit of fire! I’ve said everything in front of you, but you didn’t clear things up. You turned around and sched against . Fine, I’ll rember this debt, and if I even try to heal your poison next, I’ll take your last na!"
The more Jiang Xue thought about it, the angrier she got. While she was drinking, Murong Han snatched the bottle from her.
"Enough, now is not the ti to drown your sorrows in alcohol; it’s ti to think about how to help yourself solve the problem."
Jiang Xue propped her chin and squinted: "You said it yourself, the marriage agreent is set. Once that guy returns to the country and announces it to the world, how can this matter be resolved?"
Golden promises, huh, it’s ironic. After being alone and friendless for years, when there’s a use, all previous promises count for nothing. What kind of emperor? What kind of father? It’s ridiculous!
"Don’t worry, brother will set off for the Holy Dynasty tomorrow to ask Beiming Yi what can be done to redy this."
Actually, the trouble with this matter is that the marriage agreent was signed by the emperors of both countries. Even if she denies being Murong Xue and denies not being in the family records, the regulations from when the Emperor crowned her are there; she is Murong Xue, and she can’t just deny it.
"Brother, you don’t need to worry about this matter. It’s useless; I’ll find a way myself."
After saying this, Jiang Xue staggered back to her courtyard and fell asleep in a daze.
In the middle of the night, while she was sleeping soundly, soone slapped her face to wake her up. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and saw Shui Yixuan, in night wear, exhausted and leaning against her bed. She was startled and instinctively grabbed her blanket, "Why are you here in the middle of the night, instead of sleeping?"
"You’re about to be married off, can I not be anxious? That ungrateful dog Beiming Yi, I’ll deal with him eventually. Frankly, you shouldn’t have saved him back then; let him die!"
Jiang Xue agreed with him, but given the current situation, she sighed heavily.
"Soon, both countries will know. By then, there’s no chance of turning back. How did I get so unlucky? Otherwise, I could marry him and then poison him slowly. When he dies, all his property would be mine. I wouldn’t lose out; I’d make him end his lineage, with no right to inherit the throne."
Shui Yixuan shivered for no reason and instinctively stopped her.
"Don’t act on impulse. That guy is a fox; after marriage who knows who’ll outsmart whom. If you do marry him, you’ll regret it."
"So what do I do? There’s a marriage agreent; can I still sneak out?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue’s careless words captured Shui Yixuan’s attention, but he didn’t travel all this way just to hear nonsense.
"You don’t want to marry him, would you marry ?"
Jiang Xue, originally looking down with her hair loose, raised her head in surprise at the words: "Are you serious?"
"Of course I’m serious. It’s not the first ti I’ve brought it up; last ti you said you weren’t ready, you’d wait and see. Now it’s an opportunity, it’s just up to whether you want it or not."
Jiang Xue inwardly smiled bitterly; in this life, she didn’t plan to marry so early, possibly not at all. But with such an unreliable father, who can she turn to for reason?
"Do you have a way to solve this problem?"
Shui Yixuan coaxed her: "Marry , and I’ll solve all these problems for you."
Jiang Xue frowned and tentatively asked: "Can we... pretend to marry? You help , and I’ll properly thank you afterward."
Shui Yixuan was amused and exasperated: "What, marrying is such a grievance for you? Why pretend? I truly want to marry you, and if you’re not ready, I can wait a few years. But you must marry , and I’ll grant you great freedom after marriage."
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at him: "n’s promises are lies. They paint a rosy picture before marriage but won’t fulfill them afterward and might even think about turning into an accessory. Hmph, I’ll have to reconsider this. You n, the easier sothing is obtained, the less you cherish it. I can live well on my own; why should I get mixed up with you?"
