When Bai Aoxue saw Mumian shaking her head, she was a little confused, but she just looked at Mumian waiting her to say.
"Miss, I don't really understand what you're saying, but I know you're doing this for my good. But I don't want to marry so early. Maybe Nalan Youhong likes me now, but we're so young, and maybe he'll like other better girls later. I'm just a maidservant, so I can't accept his love now." Mumian bowed her head, and said slowly.
Bai Aoxue heard Mumian's word and frowned. She didn't think Mumian considered so much, but felt sorrier for the woman who lived in troubled times.
Now it's the Three Kingdoms Period. Bai Aoxue believed that Great Continent would unify the world and she also hoped Jun Yeyan would be the King if there was really a great day.
She believed that Jun Yeyan could be a wise king, who could make all people in the world have a happy life.
She didn't care about it before, and didn't care about other people's lives, because she could live alone in troubled times.
But now there was so much to bear, their hopes and their future, so she hoped urgently the turbulent world could be unified.
Even if Chengxi Dynasty and Mobei Dynasty were united by marriage, maybe they would start a war again one day. No matter who won or lost, it was the common people who suffered, and perhaps there was someone she cared about among them.
Her uncle was in this turbulent world, wasn't he?
In such a turbulent world, the status of women was always the lowest. Men could have wives and concubines, but women had to fight with other women to win their status, and also were abandoned when they were old.
It's too sad that they couldn't resist such life. Because of these, Bai Aoxue hoped that people could have a prosperous world.
And the countless women in this world could be treated equally!
"Don't think too much, Mumian. I said you deserve the best in the world. Since Nalan Youhong likes you, you should trust him. If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. Because no one can influence your thoughts. The road ahead is long, and you are still young, and just understand love, so let Nalan Youhong wait." Bai Aoxue gently touched Mumian's hair and said.
"Mumian, if young Lord Nalan can wait you, it means he is true to you. Then you should be at ease, and believe that, as Miss said, young Lord Nalan may be the only one you have to trust. If he can't wait, then give him up. As for such a fickle man, even if you marry him, you will fall into a miserable end. Miss and we are unwilling to see this." Wenxi who had not spoken before looked at Mumian and said seriously.
Mumian heard Bai Aoxue and Wenxi's words and nodded with excitement. Her eyes were full of tears.
Although the decision they made at this moment was bad for Nalan Youhong, every woman wanted to meet a trusted man to marry.
Youth only occurred one time, and would be withered at any time in such turbulent days. If one step was wrong, the whole life would go wrong.
People wanted to hold their happiness in their own hands?
Mumian sighed with emotion that how lucky she was that she could meet these three women who were so thoughtful of her in her life.
How fortunate she was to meet such a master Bai Aoxue!
"I know, Miss. Since I was born, I have no family, and I have been treated as a family by you and madam. Madam always said the beautiful woman suffered a harsh life in the world. Then madam was gone. I knew that perhaps she talked about her own fate at that time." Mumian said gently with tears in her eyes.
"At that time I thought if it were true, I would rather not marry and always stay with Miss, watch you grow up and live a happy life, and that would be enough for me. Now, whether I marry or not, I will always follow Miss, because there is no one else in this world who is so close to me." Mumian whispered.
Such a clear voice seemed to have made some determination. But it was her most sincere words. Bai Aoxue was shocked. Although she knew Mumian was loyal to her, she didn't know she was so faithful.
Perhaps she never asked for return when she considered for them. And they didn't ask for any return either.
Life was just like this. It's enough for her to meet confidant.
"You know, no matter in the past or at the present, I always treat you as the closest person, and I will do this in the future." Bai Aoxue smiled gently, and the light in her eyes looked like sunshine in March.
"Ok!" Mumian nodded and tears fell down.
Bai Aoxue looked at Wenxi and Hongxiu, and smiled, "You two are the same."
When Wenxi and Hongxiu heard Bai Aoxue's words, their eyes got red. They didn't expect Bai Aoxue could treat them as she treated Mumian, but they were still a little envious. And now what Bai Aoxue said really moved them.
They were glad that they didn't choose the wrong route before.
Outside the carriage, when Jun Yeyan and Li Xiao heard their conversation, they had their own thoughts.
When Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue's lively voice and knew her happiness, he also felt happy because Xue hadn't been in such a good mood for a long time.
Although Nalan Youhong would feel wronged about this, he didn't care about. As long as Xue was happy, it would be better to postpone Nalan Youhong's marriage. Just as Wenxi said, it was also a test to Hong.
If Nalan Youhong changed his mind or did bad to Mumian in the future, he would be the most embarrassed one, and he might be trouble with Xue by then, which would be a big thing, so it's good to test Hong.
Even if he believed Nalan Youhong's characters, he would still do this.
But Li Xiao was thinking that Bai Aoxue could value feelings and loyalty in such turbulent times, which was significant.
He was also glad that his master had met such a wonderful woman.
He hoped the proud man next to him would not see the moon in the night until sun rose.
Because after all, he had found his bright moon and this woman was enough to light his life.
Nalan Youhong was in front them, and he didn't know his marriage was put off, and no one knew the exact time.
However, Du Siyan and Bai Suxue were silent in the carriage.
Bai Suxue thought how to deal with Bai Aoxue, while Du Siyan thought how to get Zhao.
"How long shall we stay after we arrive in Yangzhou, Heir?" Bai Suxue asked first.
Du Siyan heard Bai Suxue's question, raised his eyes and looked at her."It's up to Miss White. You asked me to take you before because no one covered you on the way. Now you'll be good enough to stay here. When I finish the task, I will ask the Emperor to give you a better life."
"Is Heir's task... Suxue dares to ask, does it have something to do with Bai Aoxue?" Bai Suxue clutched her fist tightly, pressed down her hatred, looked at Du Siyan and asked.
Du Siyan heard Bai Suxue's words and frowned, "Can you call her name in that way? Take care of your mind. Do you think the Emperor can love you? Even if you wash feet for him, he would distain your dirty hands."
Bai Suxue didn't think Du Siyan was so vicious, and his words poked at her pain!
Du Siyan clearly knew that how she lost her virginity, and humiliated her like this!
Bai Suxue extremely resented, but she maintained abnormal sobriety at this moment, and she didn't act blindly as usual but concealed her feelings.
"Yes, Suxue never dares to think. I only want to spend my rest of life with Heir, and never dare to think other things." Bai Suxue lowered her eyes and whispered.
There was a little tremble in her words, which was caused by hate and anger, and she tried to endure it silently.
Du Siyan heard Bai Suxue's words and caught her chin, but she didn't conceal her hate in time.
Du Siyan looked at Bai Suxue maliciously, "What? Am I wrong? You are saying nice words but your eyes are full of hate. You're still too young to fight with me!" Then he threw Bai Suxue away.
Bai Suxue uncontrollably hit the stump of the carriage, and the whole carriage wobbled.
Bai Suxue covered her head and slowly rose up. She looked at Du Siyan and said, "What the Heir said is right. I know I am wrong."
Du Siyan looked at Bai Aoxue coldly and said, "Forget your status in prime minister's mansion. You are just a dirty product of an inferior woman and a servant."
Bai Suxue's hands trembled, and her eyes were full of hatred and tears.
But she didn't speak more. Du Siyan saw Bai Aoxue and disdained coldly.
Jun Yeyan heard everything in Du Siyan's carriage, and he glanced lightly and didn't do anything.
What Bai Suxue suffered now was all due to herself.
She had done the wrong thing before, so she had to pay for that now. All this was a causal cycle.
Jun Yeyan had no sympathy for Bai Suxue, or he even wanted to kill her. For anyone who saw Bai Aoxue with hatred, he wanted to break him into pieces.
It's very easy to kill Bai Suxue. He let her go now just because he wanted to see who was behind her.
Bai Suxue didn't expect to look for Du Siyan as her backer, and since she could do it now, she must be commanded.
He didn't kill her because he wanted to find out the manipulator behind her.
