Chapter 534.1: face-to-face confrontation

Zhen Yu, what exactly are your feelings towards Brother Hu? Is it the obstinacy of a young person trying to hold him to a childhood promise, or do you truly love him? Su Xi-er asked as she sat beside Zhen Yu.

Brother Hu left Peach Blossom Village when he was seven, and Zhen Yu was still young then. Certainly, they had a childhood promise, but how would a young child even understand love at such an age?

Zhen Yu was taken aback.

It has been so many years, yet Ive never been asked about this, nor have I considered it myself. Could it be that my love was nothing but indignation about a childhood promise? Did I even understand love when we made the promise?

Observing her reaction, Su Xi-er felt as if she could understand Zhen Yu better, and she grasped the latters hand before slowly continuing. Think about the relations.h.i.+p between you and Brother Hu carefully. If it were me, I can only feel that the most I would feel is liking him. With so many years having pa.s.sed, you may have felt indignant when the villagers told you that Brother Hu wouldnt return; you didnt want to hear others talk badly about the person you trusted and liked.

Su Xi-er paused and stared straight at Zhen Yu. Liking someone and loving them are two different things. You like Brother Hu, but you dont love him.

Every word was like a heavy stone weighing down on Zhen Yus heart.

I only like Brother Hu and dont love him? Who says that I dont love him?

Zhen Yu, dont lie to yourself. When I came in, I noticed you stroking your stomach; you care about this child, even if Xie Yun forced himself upon you. Im not trying to speak for him, but now that youre pregnant, you need someone to take care of you, so I cant let you leave.

Princess Consort, I Zhen Yu had many things she wanted to say, but she didnt know where to start.

Dont abort the child; every child and their mother are brought together by fate. Su Xi-er gently patted Zhen Yus hand.

Besides, Xie Yun treats her pretty well now.

After contemplating for a long while, Zhen Yu finally relented. After giving birth to the child, Ill leave and bring the child with me.

Alright, at that time, you can go wherever you want; I wont stop you. Su Xi-er replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Prince Hao Residence, Xie Yun ordered the guards to head for the posthouse instead of returning to the Commandery Prince Residence.

In less than half an hour, a horse carriage stopped before the posthouse, and Xie Liuli pushed Xie Yuns wheelchair down a wooden plank that had been propped up against the vehicle.

A few Western Region soldiers were stationed at the entrance, and they immediately came forth when they spotted the two visitors. May I ask who you are?

Xie Yun flashed a cordial smile. Please report to the Imperial Princess that Commandery Prince Xie of Beimin has arrived.

Hearing his t.i.tle, one of the soldiers immediately turned into the posthouse to report to Du Rin. The woman in question was having tea in the hall, and wasnt surprised by her visitors arrival.

Su Xi-er must have told him that Im already in Beimin. Did Xie Yun come here so hastily because hes afraid that Ill make a move on Zhen Yu?

Bring Commandery Prince Xie in. This Princess will wait for him in the pavilion in the garden.

This subordinate will get to it.

Soon, Xie Liuli pushed Xie Yun into the posthouse and followed the soldier to the pavilion.

There were a few plates of pastries, as well as aceladon tea set on thestone table.

Xie Yun looked towards Xie Liuli. Liuli, wait for me in the hall; Ill be out soon.

Elder Brother Xie Liuli wanted to continue, but immediately quieted down and left the pavilion after seeing a look from her brother.
