The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 259 - 258: Are You Going to Take Responsibility for Me?

Chapter 259: Chapter 258: Are You Going to Take Responsibility for Me?

Upon arrival at the destination, Princess An He was the first to inquire about Mingzhu’s condition.

"That blind fool from the Xiao Family didn’t run into you, right?"

Because of the Xiao Family, Mingzhu lost a child, leaving Princess An He with a severe psychological scar.

She hadn’t dealt with Xiao Feixue, yet that person dared to show up and be an eyesore, clearly courting death!

Fetal education is crucial, and Princess An He didn’t want to speak harshly in Mingzhu’s presence.

She only decided privately that once back in the city, she would send a message to the Marquis Mansion.

To have them properly restrain Xiao Feixue.

If Xiao Feixue dares to make herself known again... then she will have to repay the sins done by Xiao Feiyun.

Mingzhu held Gold’s hand, wary of Princess An He reaching for her again.

"She didn’t come near me, I’m fine."

Princess An He nodded, but couldn’t help but speak more, "You’re not alone now, keep as far away as possible from such nuisances; porcelain shouldn’t clash with tiles."

Mingzhu agreed to everything.

Only then was Princess An He satisfied.

Thinking of meeting the dead heartbreaker later, the joy in her eyes faded away.

If he has knowledge from his resting place, he’d better pray for Ah Zhen’s child to be born safely.

Otherwise, being alive was useless, and being dead is still useless!

She asked Mingzhu, "It takes two quarters of an hour of mountain road to reach the graveyard; the carriage can’t go up there. Can you walk, or would you rather wait here?"

Xie Yunzhen frowned, "Don’t worry so much."

If Mingzhu can’t make it, he will carry her, or they can stop to rest.

Having learned from previous lessons, there’s no way he will ignore Mingzhu now, he will watch over her closely, or else he’d be a fool.

Princess An He also thought of this and said no more, fearing her words would only worsen the situation.

Her good intentions might inadvertently lead to her son’s resentment.

Knowing Mingzhu is pregnant, Xie Yunling didn’t dare to reach out to her.

Not only that, but she deliberately kept a two-person distance from Mingzhu.

Mingzhu asked, "Am I a flood beast?"

"No."

Xie Yunling shook her head quickly, "Big Brother is right, I’m clumsy; if I hurt you or the little nephew, it wouldn’t be good."

Xie Yunzhen took Mingzhu’s hand, "Let’s go."

With so many elders watching, Mingzhu felt really embarrassed.

But the man tightly clasped her hand and didn’t give her a chance to pull away.

She could only brush off the embarrassment and let him lead her.

If it was before, Princess An He would surely think Mingzhu was a seductive vixen, tempting her son into inappropriate public displays.

But now things were different.

As long as they safeguard the child in Mingzhu’s belly, it didn’t matter what they did.

The group began climbing the mountain.

The road wasn’t far or steep, and Mingzhu felt no discomfort, reaching the destination smoothly.

When marrying Xie Yunzhen, their relationship wasn’t good.

Mingzhu was also reluctant to get involved in the Xie Family’s matters, so this was her first time coming to the Xie Family’s ancestral grave.

Under her mother’s guidance, she offered incense and burned paper money to the ancestors.

Afraid her stomach would feel uncomfortable, Princess An He didn’t let her kneel and bow, nor did Xie Yunzhen.

Mingzhu did not insist.

She married Xie Yunzhen, and as long as they lived well, the ancestors likely wouldn’t mind so much.

The ritual was simple, taking less than an hour before they made their way back.

Xie Yunzhen planned to ask Xi Yu to visit the border, having the driver change routes outside the city.

Mingzhu had been to Xi Yu’s residence outside the city before.

Being led by Xie Yunzhen, she walked familiarly into the courtyard.

"How are you sure the miracle doctor Xi is in the capital?"

Xie Yunzhen answered everything, "I sent him a message before returning to the capital."

Mingzhu was puzzled, "What special deal did you offer to make the miracle doctor Xi give up traveling and wait in the capital for you?"

"Ahem..."

Xi Yu, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, emerged from inside, looking at Mingzhu with a playful smile.

"Am I that kind of person who loves money?"

Caught in the act, Mingzhu felt slightly embarrassed.

Under the cover of wide sleeves, she scratched Xie Yunzhen’s palm, urging him to speak and break the awkwardness.

A smile welled up in Xie Yunzhen’s eyes.

Mingzhu had always been a brilliant and resourceful person, why was she needing his rescue now?

Could it be that pregnancy dulls the mind for three years?

The corners of his mouth lifted, finding Mingzhu incredibly endearing at this moment.

He especially loved the feeling of being relied upon by her.

Clearing his throat, "My wife’s eyes are sharp, seeing clearly the essence of certain people’s greed; the Emperor gave treasures, and I promised to let him choose at will."

Xie Yunzhen’s smugness made Xi Yu’s teeth ache.

He snorted, "I might love money, but at least I’m not foolish like some; Mingzhu wouldn’t know that back then when he returned from the expedition, he fell in love with you at first sight and thought you cast a spell on him..."

This matter was already years past, and Xie Yunzhen didn’t expect Xi Yu to bring it up suddenly.

Especially in front of Mingzhu.

It instantly made his face glow with embarrassment.

At that time, he fancied himself, thinking Mingzhu wanted to seduce him, and made many foolish moves.

Mingzhu pursed her lips, then managed to squeeze out a sentence, "You’ve got quite an imagination!"

Xie Yunzhen felt increasingly embarrassed.

He wished he could block Xi Yu’s mouth; this person was really touching a sore spot!

Fisting his hand against his mouth, he feigned a cough, "I was young and ignorant back then."

Xi Yu looked disdainful, "At more than twenty years old, still young, your face is really thick; at your age, others would already have kids running around."

Xie Yunzhen replied sardonically, "Don’t know where certain bachelors get the courage to mock others; best not let both Mingzhu and I reach grandparenthood while certain people haven’t married yet."

Xi Yu retorted defiantly, "Plenty of people like me, if I wanted, I could marry several wives tomorrow."

The disdain on Xie Yunzhen’s face grew more evident.

"Then I can only draw the line with you, you’re not keeping yourself pure."

Xi Yu was annoyed, "I was just saying and you’ve already put a hat on me. If this spreads, my reputation would be ruined. Will you be responsible then?"

Xie Yunzhen was utterly dismissive, "Scram."

"If I scram, you better not write to find me."

The two bickered, neither giving way.

Mingzhu listened, feeling a bit envious of Xie Yunzhen having a friend with whom he could talk freely.

Then she thought she also had Yun Ling.

Suddenly, she didn’t feel as envious.

Xie Yunzhen ceased the verbal duels and turned to discuss business.

Upon hearing their purpose, Xi Yu thought Xie Yunzhen was somewhat exaggerating.

"I’m not a master of gynecology; even if you bring me there, I wouldn’t be of much help."

Xie Yunzhen refrained from mocking him this time, speaking earnestly, "I can be more at ease with you around."

Xi Yu secretly thought that whenever Mingzhu was involved, Xie Yunzhen’s decisiveness and cold ruthlessness seemed to vanish.

He was curious about what the feeling of romantic love was.

How could it have such a significant impact on someone?

To the extent it could make a person unlike themselves...

Xie Yunzhen said, "I can agree to three conditions of yours."

Compared to rare treasures, Xie Yunzhen’s promise was more valuable.

Xi Yu playfully remarked, "Even if it’s to eat dung?"

Xie Yunzhen’s gaze sharpened like a knife, cold and frightening.

"You’re truly disgusting."

Xi Yu was speechless.
