Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Bid Farewell to One’s Parents

Hearing the sound, Duanmu Yuan and his wife looked out of the door at the same time. Seeing that it was her son, she put away her worried expression. Madam Duanmu immediately put on a kind smile and walked out of the chair. She pulled his hand and said, “I didn’t say anything. Your father and I just had nothing to say. Let’s just talk about you. Why are you free today? There’s no need to teach Haoze martial arts.”

Looking at her mother’s forced smile, Duanmu Jing immediately guessed, The topic they were talking about must have something to do with themselves, Looks like Huyan Mingshuo’s arrival, They also knew, They were probably worried about themselves, Thinking about what he had done in the past few years, Not only did he not fulfill his filial piety for them for a day, he also made them worry about their own affairs. Thinking about it, it was really wrong. He had been traveling all these years for Fu Yingran’s affairs, and he rarely saw his parents. Now that he looked closely, the silver thread on his parents’ heads had increased by a lot.

So he held his mother’s hand tightly and smiled at her, “You are my parents. What’s wrong with me coming here to see you? Could it be that I, a son, can’t come here? Besides, my son has come here today to discuss something with my father and mother. Even if mother doesn’t let me come, I have to come.”

After hearing what he said, the two elders couldn’t help but glance at each other. Duanmu Yuan instantly asked with a serious expression, “You’re really going to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Then tell me, what exactly are you here for today?” I wonder what kind of demon this unlucky son is going to do this time.

After the wedding four years ago, the two of them were no longer so relieved about their only son. Last time, he had a Sun Shuyuan and forcefully angered Fu Yingran. Not only had he ruined his life’s happiness, he had also offended Prince Duan’s Mansion at that time and had an impact on his future.

If it weren’t for the fact that his old face was still of some use, Prince Duan would have agreed to let him go for his own sake. In addition, the compensation he had made to Ying Ran over the past few years had deeply moved the Regent. Otherwise, Prince Jing might not have been able to do it long ago.

Although in recent years, He was indeed much more steady, However, there was no guarantee that Huyan Mingshuo would not provoke him. Everyone is the same when it comes to feelings, No matter how steady you are, once you are impulsive, you are like a brainless person. Right now, Fu Yingran and his wife are standing in front of him so carelessly. If he can still maintain his composure, then he is not Duanmu Jing. As his parents, how can Duanmu Yuan and his wife not understand him?

All these years, ever since Fu Yingran married and got married, he had always been alone. No matter who came to his house to talk about matchmaking, he had rejected him. Anyone could tell that he was regretting his actions and blaming himself.

Because of the difference in his thoughts, He pushed Fu Yingran away with his own hands, ruining his life’s happiness and forcing Fu Yingran to marry far away. Therefore, all these years, he had been standing alone behind Fu Yingran silently, clearing up all the troubles for her, just to help her create a world that belonged to her, so that she no longer had to be controlled by others anymore.

It could be said that Fu Yingran’s faction could, in such a short period of time, To grow so strong was closely related to Duanmu Yuan’s help. Otherwise, with Fu Yingran as a female, no matter how powerful she was, it would be impossible for her to be so smooth all the way. This was all because Duanmu Jing was secretly escorting her.

However, everything was settled. There was no way he could return to the past. Now that Huyan Mingshuo had arrived, he was afraid that he would feel unhappy again. The so-called’knowing his son is like his father ‘. Duanmu Yuan was worried that he would not be able to think of it for a while and that something ridiculous would happen. With this situation, it was not the time for him to mess around.

Seeing his parents’ expression as if they were facing a great enemy, Duanmu Jing immediately felt guilty. He also knew that the matter of the wedding had probably left a shadow in their hearts. Thinking back to his father’s efforts to persuade them and his self-righteousness at that time, Duanmu Jing immediately regretted endlessly. If he had listened to his father’s advice and retreated from Sun Shuyuan’s marriage, he would not have ended up like this now.

However, no matter how regretful he was now, it was useless. He had to face this outcome alone.

Thus, he cleared his throat and pretended to be relaxed and said to the two elders, “It’s not a big deal. Father and mother don’t need to be so nervous. My son just feels that the business of our Heavenly Villa is stable now, and the power on Ying Ran’s side is gradually developing. If I continue to stay here, it would be a bit unreasonable.”

I am still Prince Jing of the Great Wei Kingdom, Back then, she had discussed marriage with Ying Ran, If I keep getting too close to her, Unavoidably, it would attract the gossip of others, “With her current status, she will definitely bring her a lot of trouble. Besides, it’s been a while since I left the Great Wei Kingdom. It’s time for me to go back. Therefore, my son is here to bid farewell to my father and mother. My son intends to leave tomorrow morning. In the future, if my son is not with you, I hope the two of you can take care of him.”

Actually, Huyan Mingshuo’s words just now were deliberately intended for him to leave on his own. After all, Fu Yingran’s identity was different now. How many people were keeping an eye on her at any time? None of them could say anything. Therefore, such gossip absolutely could not be spread out, otherwise it would cause her a lot of harm.

Especially in the current situation, If such rumors were to spread out, it would undoubtedly give others an excuse to attack her at will, and she would also be criticized by the world. After all, she, Fu Yingran, was still a married woman. The charge of hooking up with a married woman was not pleasant to hear. Even if he did not care about it, what about the people around him? Could it be that they didn’t care? He thought about his parents who were gradually getting old, and about the entire Tian Yizhuang behind him.

He absolutely could not cause trouble for his parents and the Tian Yi Villa. Although the Tian Yi Villa had Fu Ying Ran’s precautions and efforts, the merchants were still merchants. The reason why the merchants were ranked at the bottom was because the merchants’ status was the lowest.

Now that every country was afraid of Tian Yizhuang, That was because of Fu Yingran’s original proposal, Over the past few years, Tian Yizhuang had grasped the shameful Xin Mi of the royal families of various countries. In addition, due to Fu Yingran’s schemes, the economic lifeline of the entire world had always been in the hands of Tian Yizhuang. However, if anything happened to Fu Yingran, as the Eldest Miss of Tian Yizhuang, Tian Yizhuang would definitely be implicated.

In that case, what would happen to his aged parents? Besides, the royal family of the Great Wei would not allow him to ruin Fu Yingran’s reputation like this. This Regent King was his immediate superior, and the power in his hands was not something that a small foreign prince could compare to. Therefore, it was inevitable for him to leave.

As an old Jianghu for many years, Duanmu Yuan naturally wouldn’t miss the situation. Therefore, after listening to his son’s words, he only sighed heavily and said, “Ah … what kind of sin has this done?” Originally, the two of them were well-behaved, but now they are in such a situation. If you were willing to listen to your father’s advice back then, how could you end up in such a dilemma now?

Forget it. A man dares to do anything. He can bend and stretch. You’ve done enough for Ying Ran over the years. It’s time for you to figure it out for yourself. Go, while I’m still able to move, father, even if I’m shattered, I’ll definitely protect the only way out for you. ” As he spoke, Duanmu Yuan closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. He was really tired. For his only son, he could really be said to have put in all his blood.

It turned out that everyone had not been idle all these years. He, Huyan Mingshuo, was busy fighting everywhere to pacify the countries and unify the world. Fu Yingran was also busy secretly developing his own forces. He hoped that he could protect himself when necessary. But what about Duanmu Jing? He had been following behind Fu Yingran, secretly helping her deal with some of the more troublesome business matters and doing his best to protect her.

Where’s Duanmu Yuan? He had been secretly contacting the various forces in Jianghu and spending money to subordinate them to Duanmu Jing. Similarly, his goal was to protect Duanmu Jing when necessary. It was truly pitiful.

While the rest of the world was not idle, On the surface, they were respectfully submitting to the State of Ye Lan, But his command came from Huyan Mingshuo, But privately, Everyone was plotting how to counterattack, After all, no one would be willing to live under someone for a long time. Therefore, the current situation was one of unity and harmony on the surface, but in the dark, there was a surge of undercurrents from various forces. It was a time of great unease. If the Empress’ scandal were to spread in the Ye Lan royal family at this time, it would undoubtedly be an innocent reason for the rebellion of the various countries.

Right now, the countries had just suffered the destruction of the war. The lives of the common people were extremely difficult. They could no longer withstand any more attacks. Therefore, the current situation was not easy to be in chaos.

Duanmu Yuan also knew, As far as the current situation was concerned, the best solution was to keep their son away from Fu Yingran and prevent all of this from happening. However, they were gradually getting old, and they hoped to live a peaceful life with their children and grandchildren for a few years. Therefore, the two elders felt a little resentful when faced with the situation where Duanmu Jing had no choice but to leave.

Duanmu Jing looked at the white hair on his parents’ temples. and the helplessness in their eyes. Thus, he pretended to be relaxed and said, “My son knows. Father, there is no need to worry too much. My son is only leaving temporarily. As long as the two of you are still here, my son will return sooner or later. Perhaps, when my son leaves this time, I will bring back your daughter-in-law and grandson.”

Seeing him say this, Madam Duanmu instantly rolled her eyes at him and said, “If you can bring my wife and grandson back, I will burn incense in front of the Bodhisattva every day. I hope for your mother to marry you and have children, but I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for many years.”

This was true. Ever since Fu Yingran married far away, she had been looking forward to it. She hoped that Duanmu Jing would forget Fu Yingran and find a woman from a good family to marry and have children. She knew that once many things were lost, they would never be found again. Even if they were barely recovered, they would not be able to return to their original state.

So, if I really lose it, Let go, If you really can’t forget, Find someone to fill her spot, Then he hid her deeply in his heart, He could occasionally flip through it and recall it for a moment, But you can’t let her take over your entire life, Because every single one of us is alive, She had her own responsibilities and obligations to fulfill. She could not tolerate her own willfulness. She had told her son countless times about such a grand principle. However, he had never heard of it before. Every time, he had perfunctorily treated her. Now that she saw that he was finally willing to let go, Madam Duanmu felt as if her heart had fallen to the ground.

Seeing the gratified smile on his mother’s face, Duanmu Jing’s heart relaxed a lot. He thought that it was time to let go. Not to mention the rest, even if it was for his parents, he should let go. After all, he had his own responsibilities and obligations to fulfill. After all, he had done so much for Fu Yingran over the years, it should be enough.
