Chapter 117 Returning to Mother’s Home
Although we already know that Han Min has already agreed to marry Shi Hui, the process still has to be followed.
When Han Min heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground.
"In reply to His Royal Highness Prince Yan, I am willing. I have always admired Lord Shi. Being able to marry Lord Shi is the blessing I have earned in my previous life." Han Min responded shyly.
"Okay, that's great." He Tingxi nodded with satisfaction.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yan."
When Shi Hui saw Han Min was about to get up, he very conspicuously helped Han Min up with both hands.
Seeing Shi Hui helping her up, Han Min looked at Shi Hui and whispered softly, "Thank you, Mr. Shi."
After hearing Han Min's sweet voice, Shi Hui's smile almost overflowed from his face.
"You are Welcome."
Watching the "sweet" interaction between Shi Hui and Han Min, He Tingxi was also very tactful.
"Shi Hui, it's still early, why don't you take Han Min for a walk? As for your marriage, I will help you arrange it."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Then, I and Miss Han will withdraw first." Shi Hui was overjoyed and responded quickly.
"Well, let's go."
Shi Hui took Han Min out of the main hall.
After seeing Shi Hui and the others walk away, He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue and said with a smile: "How is it? Am I right? It seems that I still understand Shi Hui better."
"I'm wondering why you don't like that straightforward and lively girl? She's so nice. At least she's not pretentious, isn't she? Isn't it more comfortable to get along with her?" Ling Xiyue was confused when she thought of this.
"Really? I only know that straightforward people tend to be relatively stubborn, and if there is a conflict between the two parties, it is not easy for them to show weakness." He Tingxi explained with a smile.
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then began to guess.
"You mean, Shi Hui actually likes the kind of girl who needs his protection and looks weak and fragile. She doesn't need to be opinionated, she just needs to be obedient, right?"
"You hit the nail on the head. Think about what kind of person Shi Hui is. He and I have been in the military camp for so long, and he has seen too many generous people in the camp. Do you still want him to marry a girl with a personality very similar to yours?" He Tingxi asked back.
After listening to He Tingxi's analysis, Ling Xiyue suddenly became enlightened.
"Tingxi, you see things very clearly. I have to admit that you are better than me in this respect." Ling Xiyue gave He Tingxi a thumbs up and praised him.
He Tingxi was instantly delighted when he received Ling Xiyue's praise.
"Who said it? I have many abilities," He Tingxi said proudly.
Ling Xiyue was surprised by He Tingxi's reaction. She suddenly felt that He Tingxi was a little childish, but she did not say it. Instead, she continued to praise him.
"That's right, Your Highness, you are the most capable person I have ever met."
He Tingxi was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He stretched out his hand to Ling Xiyue and said, "Come on, let's walk in the yard too, just take a stroll."
Ling Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then she put her hand on He Tingxi's hand, stood up and said, "Okay, the sun is shining brightly today, and we can also bask in the sun."
"Let's go." He Tingxi ordered the guards.
"Yes."
In the afternoon, He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue took a walk in the yard to pass the time.
Around the hour of You, He Tingxi called Jian Ye Shen to have New Year's dinner together.
Shi Hui took Han Min to the street and walked around. When it was You time, they had dinner in a restaurant. After the meal, Shi Hui sent Han Min to the mansion before returning to Prince Yan's Mansion.
After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, Shi Hui wanted to say something to He Tingxi, but seeing that He Tingxi had already settled down in Ling Xiyue's East Courtyard, he did not disturb him.
next day
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, He Tingxi accompanied Ling Xiyue to the Ling Mansion to give gifts to her parents.
When the Ling family heard that He Tingxi was coming, they were nervous and excited, and they gave He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue a grand reception.
Shi Hui did not accompany He Tingxi on this trip to Ling Mansion, but He Tingxi was taken care of by guards.
He Tingxi specially gave Shi Hui a holiday so that he could spend more time with Han Min.
After having lunch at Ling Mansion, He Tingxi and his friends returned to Prince Yan's Mansion without staying for long.
Ling Xiu and all his family members stood in front of the mansion gate to see He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue off.
Ling Xiu sighed only after he watched the carriage convoy from Prince Yan's Mansion slowly go away.
"The fact that His Royal Highness Prince Yan personally accompanied Xiyue to the Ling residence to pay New Year's greetings is enough to show how favored Xiyue is."
After hearing Ling Xiu's remarks, Mrs. He couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling very dissatisfied.
Hearing this, Ling Junqi also sighed, "Yes, she really dotes on me more than I thought."
“It seems that after keeping a low profile for so many years, our Ling Mansion has finally had its moment of glory.” Ling Xiu was genuinely happy.
"Yeah." Ling Junqi nodded slightly.
After hearing this, Mrs. He turned to look at Ling Chuchen. Seeing that Ling Chuchen had a calm face, without any ripples in his heart and no jealousy, she became even more annoyed.
I always feel like I have to do something to eliminate the resentment.
Ling Xiyue and He Tingxi took a carriage back to Prince Yan's Mansion together.
On the way, Ling Xiyue spoke first: "Tingxi, thank you for accompanying me back to my parents' home today and giving me so many gifts."
"What are you talking about? Now that you are pregnant, I should stay by your side and take care of you." He Tingxi said with a smile.
"However, seeing father and others entertain us so grandly, I still feel uneasy." Ling Xiyue's face slowly darkened.
"Why are you uneasy?" He Tingxi asked curiously.
"They are holding such a grand ceremony, it must have cost a lot of money. Although the war in Nanyou Kingdom has ended for a year, there is still a lot of work to be done. So, we should not waste too much on things that are not very important." Ling Xiyue said seriously.
Ling Xiyue's words stunned He Tingxi, and then he hugged Ling Xiyue in his arms with a smile on his face.
"Xiyue, you are right. You really are worthy of being my good wife. I feel at ease with you by my side." He Tingxi praised.
"So, let's go to the Ling Mansion less often in the future. If we go there, they will have to treat us warmly. But if they treat us too warmly, it will cost money. So going less often is the solution to the problem." Ling Xiyue suggested.
"Then don't you miss your father?" He Tingxi asked back.
"If you want to see them, just ask them to come over." Ling Xiyue responded without thinking.
"Okay, that's fine. I'll listen to you." He Tingxi agreed readily.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ling Xiyue leaned in He Tingxi's arms and said with a smile.
But in my heart, I thought: It is not appropriate to go to my parents' home and make so much trouble. What if people outside say that the Ling family is spoiled? It will affect Ling Junqi's future. But the most important reason is that I should not have too much contact with the people in the Ling family. I am going back to the modern world and it is not appropriate to have too deep feelings.
At this time, He Tingxi was very satisfied with Ling Xiyue's words and deeds.
"Xiyue, when you give birth to the child, the financial power of Prince Yan's Mansion will be officially handed over to you. I'm sure you can do a good job."
