Chapter 1374: My Wish Is for You to Always Be by My Side
Looking at Feng Fuce reading a book so intently, it seemed like he was choosing a story.
Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but tug at her lips and secretly laughed.
She stood up: "Uncle, I think Sister Jiang Ying should be fine now. I’m a bit tired, so I’ll go to rest first."
Prince Qing quickly followed: "Are you heading back to the palace? I’ll see you off."
Bai Zhi’er shook her head: "I’m staying at Brother Fuce’s house tonight, so if anything happens, you can call me over right away."
Prince Qing didn’t notice anything amiss and instead was filled with emotion.
"Zhi’er, you’re truly thoughtful."
"Alright then, which room are you sleeping in? Uncle will take you there."
At this point, Feng Fuce had already stood up with the book.
He said calmly: "No need, you’re not familiar with my mansion, I’ll take you."
Prince Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, I’ll trouble you then. Marquis Wan, the generous aid you provided today, I will certainly reward you."
Feng Fuce murmured indifferently, seemingly uninterested in the said reward.
After Bai Zhi’er left the room with him, Feng Fuce immediately held her hand.
They walked together under the long corridor, with a gentle evening breeze blowing, feeling quite pleasant.
Bai Zhi’er did not shy away, allowing him to hold her.
She couldn’t help but ask: "Brother Fuce, you’ve always helped fulfill my wishes, do you have any wishes of your own?"
Feng Fuce turned to look at her.
His gaze was calm and dark, but within it, there was an element of tender affection.
"My only wish is for you to always be by my side."
Bai Zhi’er pouted: "Such a simple wish? Not difficult at all!"
Feng Fuce just smiled without saying anything.
The next day, while Bai Zhi’er was dining with Jing Jia and Bai Xilie.
The Chief Eunuch Quanxi mentioned that Prince Qing had brought back a girl named Jiang Ying’er.
The Jiang Family, upon hearing the news, rushed to the Prince Qing Mansion early in the morning.
"It’s said that they are convinced she’s their long-lost daughter, and the family embraced her, crying bitterly."
Jing Jia looked calm, placing a shrimp cake into her daughter’s bowl, showing no signs of surprise.
Bai Zhi’er obediently lowered her head to drink her porridge.
Only Bai Xilie felt puzzled, furrowing his brows: "What’s our fourth brother up to every day?"
"Is he being swindled by some unsavory person, dragging the Jiang Family into confusion too?"
Bai Zhi’er finally raised her head: "Father, you misunderstand. I checked last night, uncle had prayed to the heavens for quite a while to gain back this lost good fortune."
Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Bai Xilie’s expression softened considerably, though he was still somewhat puzzled: "Could it truly be the truth?"
Jing Jia then gave Bai Zhi’er another chopstick of greens.
She said calmly: "For now, the most important thing is to cancel the marriage decree you issued."
"Quite obviously, it’s our uncle who has feelings for the girl he just brought back."
"The previous girl, Jiang Ying, has already been renamed Jiang Mian."
Bai Zhi’er nodded repeatedly: "That’s right, father, good things should be expedited; uncle will surely thank you!"
Bai Xilie, originally doubtful and intending to send someone to investigate, suddenly decided otherwise after listening to his wife and daughter.
Unable to resist their intentions, he immediately made a decision: "Quanxi, go prepare the ink. I will issue a new decree!"
"Yes."
Bai Zhi’er and Jing Jia exchanged a look, both mother and daughter secretly smiled.
Later, the joyful wedding day of Jiang Ying and Prince Qing was set for the golden autumn in September.
The Jiang Family took the opportunity to include Jiang Ying’s name into the genealogy.
The marriage between Jiang Mian and Song Yucheng was also arranged.
In such a cheerful atmosphere, Bai Zhi’er welcomed her own Divine Enthronement Ceremony.
