Chapter 201 Why is she so stubborn?
Although Tong'er spoke in a very low voice, it was like a thunderclap, scaring the other two people in the carriage.
Especially Bai Lianyi, his face turned pale and he looked incredulous.
"Why, Tong'er? What did I do wrong?"
"What's wrong with me? Can't I change? I've already told my father about our relationship. He also said that when the time is right, he will come to the Fang Mansion to present the betrothal gifts and propose marriage. Besides, you are the second sister-in-law, no, you are the eldest sister. The eldest sister is marrying Li Laoer, and you are marrying me... Oh no..."
In a panic, Bai Lianyi's speech was a bit incoherent. He mustered up the courage to grab Tong'er's hand, but was directly thrown away by Tong'er.
Fang Qingqing felt a little puzzled. Why did Tong'er suddenly change her mind?
After all, the two of them had gotten along well before, and when she mentioned the marriage to her privately, Tong'er always looked shy and happy. Bai Lianyi's humorous personality perfectly complemented Tong'er's gentle and virtuous nature.
Why did Tong'er suddenly change her mind?
"Tong'er, what's wrong..."
Fang Qingqing held Tong'er's little hand, stared closely at her clear and beautiful eyes and asked softly.
Tong'er looked at Bai Lianyi with dissatisfaction.
"My eldest sister's marriage to the prince has suddenly been in turmoil, and it's all because of that Prince Bai! If Prince Bai hadn't summoned Princess Nishang and Prince Pingnan hadn't been the matchmaker, how could the emperor have arranged the marriage?"
"Since Master Bai has already broken off the marriage between my eldest sister and the prince, the marriage between Tong'er and Master Bai is no longer valid. You and I didn't propose in the first place; it was just a verbal promise. Please don't take it seriously, Master Bai..."
"Tong'er was originally a servant in the eldest sister's house. Fortunately, she was favored by her elder sister and was able to escape slavery and become her younger sister. Only then could she live like a human being. Tong'er's life belongs to her elder sister. She only wants her elder sister to be safe and sound.
Now my eldest sister has divorced the prince, and the baby will be born in three months. Tong'er is willing to remain single for life and always be by my eldest sister's side."
As Tong'er spoke, tears like pearls rolled down her cheeks, and her face was full of sadness. The thing she least wanted to see finally happened. She knew clearly that although her elder sister said the most cruel words in front of the prince, she seemed to be at ease, but in fact she was sadder than anyone else.
She pretended to be relaxed, but in fact she was just hiding her inner pain and anxiety.
"Tong'er, are you angry with me because of Li Laoer?! It's true that I called Zhan Nishang here, but wasn't it because Laoer's eye disease couldn't be cured by my second sister-in-law that I wanted her to treat Li Laoer's eye disease?"
"The reason I urged my father to act as a matchmaker was because Li Lao Er was always making advances towards my second sister-in-law. Am I worried that he might hurt her and the child?"
Bai Lianyi was so anxious that he almost jumped up in the carriage. Even though he knew that some of the words were difficult to say in front of Tong'er, he couldn't care less.
"But his eye disease was cured with the elixir of our ancestors! He could have taken the elixir to recover from his eye disease earlier, but he lied to me that there was no cure, and made me worry about him for so long in vain!"
When the eye disease was mentioned, Fang Qingqing became furious.
During the time he was blind, she was busy preparing medicines in the space.
Since she had no experience treating eye diseases before, and fearing that the treatment might not be effective and might even harm him, she would use Xiao Wu as a test subject whenever she prepared a potion. During that time, Xiao Wu's eyes were tortured by her until they became like rabbit eyes...
Worried that he might be in a bad mood, she resorted to all sorts of tricks to cheer him up. She chatted with him and played baby voices on her phone, just to get him to not give up...
But he had been lying to her all along! Moreover, he said that he didn't agree to the arranged marriage, but now he was almost inseparable from Zhan Nishang! He had a new wife less than seven days after she disappeared. This was what she cared about the most!
"Second sister-in-law... no, eldest sister, look at you! You're such an open-minded person! Why are you so stubborn?"
"That elixir was indeed left by our ancestor. Big sister, do you know why Li Laoer has kept it and not used it? It's because he was worried about the risks during your delivery! There are only two of those elixirs, one to save your life and two to restore you to your original state! Do you know why Li Laoer has only recovered his sight but his face is still disfigured?"
Bai Lianyi was so angry that her voice became louder and her breathing became more rapid.
"That's because, after learning that his second sister-in-law had an accident, Li Laoer was eager to avenge her, so he swallowed a pill to restore his sight! Without his second sister-in-law by his side, his appearance was no longer worth mentioning! Later, when he learned that his second sister-in-law was still alive, he couldn't swallow the pill anymore. He had to save the other pill for his second sister-in-law's life-saving childbirth!"
"The reason why Li Lao Er was willing to divorce was to protect his second sister-in-law! Even if Li Huating died, there are still countless people eyeing the position of crown prince. Apart from Empress Lu and Consort De, there are countless Consort De who will stand up!
He was worried that his second sister-in-law was in a difficult situation during his absence in Kyoto, so he would rather divorce her and keep her and the child out of the palace fighting. "Second sister-in-law, do you have any sense?"
Bai Lianyi sputtered, her face flushing with anger. Seeing Fang Qingqing turn away and stop talking, she knew she was also in a bad mood, and her voice gradually softened.
"Second sister-in-law, the outcome of this battle is uncertain. After all, the Xiao Kingdom is proficient in unorthodox methods. Even for the sake of the unborn child, we should not be angry with Li Laoer anymore. Let's say some soft words to make him feel better, okay? How about we send Li Laoer off tomorrow? Second sister-in-law, I beg you..."
Bai Lianyi, who always spoke cheerfully, couldn't help but choke up silently while speaking, and her eyes were red.
When leaving the palace yesterday, Li Zhenting held him back and repeatedly reminded him that he would not take him with him on this expedition. Fang Qingqing got along well with him, and their relationship was as good as that of siblings. He felt at ease to entrust Qing'er to him.
"Life and death are uncertain during this expedition. You must protect Qing'er's safety. If anything happens to me, take Qing'er and her son back to the Prince of Pingnan's fiefdom to live."
Within the fiefdom of King Pingnan, under his jurisdiction, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, away from all the intrigues in the palace, and could lead a stable and peaceful life.
Li Zhenting knew that this expedition would be difficult and he couldn't predict whether he could return safely, so before going on the expedition, he even changed the name of Prince Yu's Mansion to his second sister-in-law's name to ensure that his second sister-in-law and the children would have no worries in the future, and he also arranged their lives one by one.
Fang Qingqing still didn't respond.
The dawn is breaking, and it is a new day.
Military camp in the suburbs of Kyoto
A thousand elite Thunder soldiers had assembled, uniformly clad in black armor and armed with weapons, their morale high. The soldiers raised their weapons high, waving their arms and cheering as the drumbeats accelerated.
"Destroy the Xiao Kingdom and capture Yang Xiao alive!"
"Be loyal to Dayan until death!"
"Destroy the Dark Night Palace!"
“Dong dong dong~~~~”
Amid the deafening sound of drums and trumpets, Li Zhenting, wearing a golden mask, silver armor and riding a tall black horse, led a thousand elite thunder soldiers and was ready to go. The sound of the high-pitched war drums became louder and louder, and the shouts of the soldiers became louder and louder.
Zhan Nishang, who was riding a white warhorse and also wearing silver armor, looked at the majestic Li Zhenting, who looked towards Kyoto from time to time. It was obvious that he still had some expectations in his heart.
