Chapter 636: My son wants to show his filial piety to you
Mo Ji hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Master, I think the prince and princess will be sad."
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned for a moment. After a while, he murmured, "Yes, only my father and mother would be sad. I wonder how my mother would cry after I committed suicide in my previous life."
Mo Ji's ears were callused from listening to him talk about his past life. He didn't believe it before and thought he was just suffering from hysteria.
At this moment, he began to believe it.
Because the master never considered whether the princess would be sad or cry. He only disliked the princess for being too controlling and for not wanting him to marry Chu Yanluo and Liu Nanshi.
He couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you commit suicide in your previous life? The princess loves you like the apple of her eye. Aren't you afraid that she will cry to death?"
"I……"
Xiao Qingyuan felt a surge of guilt he had never felt before: "I didn't think about this problem at the time. I was so sad at the time that I just wanted to die."
"Ah, this..."
Mo Ji scratched his head, thinking that his master simply lived too well and was unaware of the sufferings of the world, which was why his mind was full of love.
Servants like him were busy all day long just for a few taels of silver. They could fall asleep as soon as they lay down at night and eat an extra bowl of rice during the day so that they would not have too little energy to work.
If he had a background as good as his master's, I wonder how happy he would be. How could he give up his good life and commit suicide?
"Master, I see how much the princess loves you. Since you died once in your previous life, don't do stupid things in this life. Live well and be filial to the princess."
Xiao Qingyuan clenched his fists: "You are right, I should live a good life. There is no one in this world who is worthy of my dying for love!"
Mo Ji felt a little relieved when he heard him say this.
The master is impulsive and always acts on impulse. It is great that he can be rational now.
Otherwise, if the master dies, how can he, as a servant, survive?
"Mo Ji, let's go back home! I want to be filial to my mother and make up for the pain I caused her in my previous life!"
"Okay, Master, let's go back home!"
The master and servant quickly returned to the palace.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Qingyuan rushed into Princess Ning's room.
Qiu Shui, the maid who was on night watch, was startled and asked hurriedly, "Prince, why are you here at this time?"
"I came to see if my mother was sleeping well."
As Xiao Qingyuan spoke, he pushed the maid aside and entered the inner room.
Princess Ning was sleeping uneasily on the bed, and Xiao Qingyuan suddenly broke in and woke her up.
She sat up suddenly: "Yuan'er, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened."
Xiao Qingyuan sat down beside the bed, his tone full of guilt: "Did I wake you up? Go to sleep, I'll cover you with a blanket."
Princess Ning was instantly both angry and amused. "It's so hot out here! I've put a few basins of ice in my room and it's still warm. Why would I need to cover myself with a blanket? Tell me, what happened that made you come here to show your affection in the middle of the night?"
"Nothing really happened. I just felt that my son was too unfilial in the past. Now I have repented and want to show my filial piety to you."
Princess Ning was stunned: "Is there really nothing wrong?"
"Not really."
"Are you truly repentant?"
"Well, I really regret it."
"Don't blame me for opposing you marrying Chu Yanluo and Liu Nanshi anymore?"
"No wonder. I only now realize that my mother was right. Neither of them is a good person. They were both lying to me. In this world, only my mother truly loves me. The other women all have ulterior motives towards me."
Princess Ning's eyes instantly turned red. She couldn't help but hug her son, choking with sobs as she said, "My son, you've finally woken up! Before, you wanted to become a monk and even commit suicide for them. You scared me so much that I couldn't sleep for nights. Now that you can see their true colors, it's truly a blessing from heaven!"
Xiao Qingyuan leaned in her arms, feeling a little awkward. He hadn't been this close to his mother for a long, long time.
Ever since he started liking Chu Yanluo, the mother and son have always been arguing. Their relationship became very strained at one point, and he even made his mother vomit blood several times in anger.
"Mother, I was wrong in the past. I apologize to you and will be filial to you in the future."
Princess Ning patted his head with relief: "It's okay, why apologize? We are mother and son, how can there be any overnight hatred? No matter how angry you are with me, you are still my flesh and blood. I only hope for the best for you. As long as you are well, I will do anything."
She just felt strange that her son seemed to have grown up overnight and suddenly knew how to be filial to her.
However, she did not ask too many questions, fearing that her son would become disgusted if she asked too much. Now that they finally had a little bit of the appearance of a loving mother and a filial son, she did not want to ruin it.
"Mother, I want to marry Shen Wantang. After looking around, I always feel that she is the most suitable woman for me. She is much better than Chu Yanluo, Liu Nanshi and others. Otherwise, the Duke's wife would not have taken a fancy to her. If she didn't have real ability, Gu Qianhan would not like her either. I know Gu Qianhan. He likes people with extraordinary intelligence."
Princess Ning sighed, "I wanted you to marry her, but you disobeyed me a long time ago. Now it's too late. That shameless Shen Guannian had already agreed to our Ning Palace's proposal, but a few days later, he sent a letter saying that he had betrothed Shen Wantang to the Duke's Mansion."
Xiao Qingyuan gritted his teeth: "Then I will snatch people from Gu Qianhan! In the last life, he stole my woman, this life, I will snatch his!"
Princess Ning patted him and said angrily, "What's there to fight for? Although Shen Wantang is indeed quite good, we don't have to have her. Since she's already been promised to the Duke's Mansion, let's just find someone else. And I'll find you someone better than Shen Wantang, someone who will surpass the Duke's Mansion and Gu Qianhan!"
Xiao Qingyuan shook his head: "Impossible, there is no one better than Shen Wantang, and she is the one I married in my previous life. I don't want to change her in this life, and I don't want her to marry Gu Qianhan."
"Yuan'er, you..."
Xiao Qingyuan stood up and said, "Mother, I've made up my mind. I want to snatch the bride away!"
"what?!"
"On the day of Gu Qianhan's wedding, I will snatch Shen Wantang away from me! I want Gu Qianhan to watch me and Shen Wantang get married!"
"Yuan'er, calm down!"
"Mother, give me all the guards in the palace. I'm going to cause a huge uproar and let everyone know! I want everyone to know that Shen Wantang is mine! Gu Qianhan can't snatch her away from me!"
"Nonsense! This is not a joke! The Duke's Mansion is not some small family that will allow you to snatch the bride! The Duke of Zhenguo holds military power, and even the Emperor has to give in! You're trying to snatch the Duke's bride, aren't you courting death?!"
"Is mother afraid? Mother is afraid, but I am not! I will definitely grab this kiss!"
After Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, he turned and left.
The Ning Princess, who was so angry that she felt dizzy, was left clutching her chest. "This bastard, I thought he was sensible and filial, but it turns out he's still the same! Sooner or later, I'm going to be pissed off to death by this bastard!"
