MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 748 [Excerpt] Holding hands and seeing each other but not knowing each other (9)
Fukang's youngest son was not even one year old yet, so Tian, who was being raised outside by Marquis Xuanping, successfully gave birth to her son. From then on, Marquis Xie lived with her every day and never returned home.
Fukang was in tears all day long. Xie Xian'er wanted to find the Tian family several times to settle accounts, but this time, Xie Hou hid the person secretly. No matter what, Xie Xian'er was not allowed to find the person again.
Fukang's body completely collapsed because she didn't take good care of herself after giving birth, and she was depressed all day long. In the end, she was at the point where no medicine could cure her.
Even so, Xiehou did not return home to visit.
It was dusk, and Fukang couldn't stand it any longer. Only her sister, Princess Fuxi, and her daughter were standing by her side. Before she died, she still reluctantly looked at the door of the palace, looking forward to seeing her husband for the last time.
However, she didn't wait for him after all.
Full of grievance and regret, the eldest princess closed her eyes unwillingly.
Xie Xian'er didn't cry. She had already expected her mother's ending. When this moment really came, she was relieved because her mother was completely relieved.
She finally no longer had to be sad because of this man, and her heart, which was riddled with wounds, finally no longer needed to be sad.
Fu Xi looked at his strong niece and sighed: "Xian'er, don't be afraid. There will be an aunt here in the future. If you can't live in the Marquis' Mansion anymore, follow me to the Princess Mansion. "
"Xian'er will always remember my aunt's love and care, but I won't go anywhere." She replied calmly, "My mother is gone, but my brother is still so young, so I have to take care of him."
Fu Xi knew that she was independent and would not force her. Fortunately, her niece was old enough and would be able to get married in a few years. Sooner or later she would be able to leave this cold family home.
Fu Xi only picked the important ones and said: "As for your marriage, when your mother was still alive, she made a marriage contract with Prince Yong's Mansion in Yizhou."
Xie Xian'er knows this.
Prince Yong’s biological mother is the adoptive mother of the current saint, so the saint loves this younger brother the most. Prince Yong’s residence is in Daqi, and he has a distinguished family.
Although Fukang has a weak temperament, like all mothers in the world, she also devotes herself to the future of her children.
She spent a lot of effort to get to Prince Yong’s palace for her daughter.
When Xie Xian'er heard Aunt Fuxi talking about this, she didn't show shyness like other girls' families, but asked: "Auntie is not a talkative woman. Is there anything wrong with you suddenly mentioning this?" ?”
Seeing that her niece had a clear mind, Fu Xi smiled happily and replied slowly: "Xian'er is really smart. My aunt does feel that there is something wrong with this matter."
“But because of the death of my mother, Prince Yong’s Mansion doesn’t like me as the Prince of Xuanping Mansion?” Xie Xian’er asked.
Fu Xi shook his head and said: "It's not because of this, but because I heard that Zhao Xuan, the eldest son of Prince Yong's palace, seems to have a lover. I heard that she is the niece of Prince Yong's concubine named Meng. That girl Meng has been raising In Prince Yong's palace, I heard that Zhao Xuan liked her very much. The capital is far away from Yizhou Mountain. Your mother didn't know about this. I only heard about it by chance a while ago." "I have a sweetheart before I get married. I can I don't want you to marry and endure the hardships of your mother," Fu Xi said.
His sister and niece had suffered enough from having a foreign wife. Fu Xi thought that Xie Xian'er would refuse immediately after hearing this, but she just smiled faintly and replied: "Since she is a side wife, she has been raised by her mother-in-law. In the palace, she must also be a daughter of a poor family, so what can she do to me?"
Hearing this, Fu Xi hurriedly advised, "Xian'er, I'm just afraid that if you marry me in the future, you will be wronged if Zhao Xuan spoils his concubine and destroys his wife."
Xie Xian'er smiled bitterly and said: "I just married a man who I didn't think about before marriage. Who can guarantee that he will not be interested in beauty again after marriage or change his heart? In this world, the most unreliable thing is a man's heart."
She said with relief: "Since I can't rely on you, I, Xie Xian'er, don't plan to rely on men anymore."
Hearing this, Fu Xi sighed and said, "If you have such a character, my aunt is not worried about you being harmed in the future."
"Auntie, don't worry about me." Xie Xian'er continued: "Looking at Daqi, Prince Yong's Palace is the most prominent high-ranking family. Zhao Xuan is the prince's son. If I marry, I will be the prince's wife. In the future, she will be the prince's wife." The beautiful princess, no matter how much Zhao Xuan dotes on Meng, I have the confidence to keep my position as the head wife. Most of the men who control the world are unreliable. Instead of being like a mother, placing hope in the illusory love and love, I don’t want to It is more practical to maintain your position and wealth."
Fu Xi smiled and said: "You are only so old, but you are so transparent. You will not have to worry about having a bad life in the future."
"I have also woken up after seeing my mother trapped by love over the years." After saying that, Xie Xian'er bowed to Fu Xi Yingying and said: "Xian'er has another unkind request, only Auntie can help me."
Fu Xi quickly helped Xie Xian'er up and replied: "Xian'er, just say whatever you want. If my aunt can help you, I will do my best."
Xie Xian'er stood up slowly and replied: "I would like to ask my aunt to help me apply for the title of princess from the saint."
Logically speaking, it would not be difficult for the daughter of the eldest princess to get a title, but her mother did not have a deep relationship with today's saints, and Marquis Xuanping did not have much status in the court. According to these conditions, It would be good for Xie Xian'er to be given the title of county princess. Even if the saint remembered her mother's early death and was extra merciful, at best, it would only be a title for the lowest-ranking princess.
"Aunt, my mother has passed away, and I am not favored by my father. After I get married, my natal family will not be able to count on it. When I marry into Prince Yong's palace, I can only rely on my title to maintain my face. So I don’t want a high-class title.” Xie Xian’er said directly to Fu Xi, “Only my aunt can help me achieve what I want in this matter.”
"Okay, I promise you." Fu Xi said cheerfully.
Although Fu Xi's status in Daqi is extraordinary, Xie Xian'er knows that this aunt is a very measured person and never likes to rely on her sibling relationship with the saint to gain privileges. Even her own biological daughter, The third girl, Li Jinyan, has not yet been awarded the title of princess. She made this unkind request just after her mother passed away, which aroused the pity of this proud aunt.
Now, she has nothing to rely on. If she can't let go of her shame, she will only have to suffer in the future.
Xie Xian'er thanked Aunt Fuxi, then cheered up and began to organize her mother's funeral.
This year, Xie Xian'er was only fourteen years old.
She lost her mother's protection and her father completely ignored the family. At a young age, while enduring such grief and misfortune, she had to take care of her infant brother and consider her own future.
