Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 239 Arrival at Baihe for Promotion (1)

Feng Xuxu released Dugu Chen’s hand, sorted through her thoughts quietly, and then spoke slowly, "Is there any way to reveal to the Emperor that Duanmu Yiyun has leaked information about the Xiahou family’s poisoning?"

Dugu Chen stared at Feng Xuxu, silent for a long moment before his thin lips parted, "Little Xuxu, leave this matter to me. Rest assured, I won’t let you get involved in any danger. You just do what you like, and leave the rest to me."

Looking up, her clear eyes full of moved feelings, she said to Dugu Chen, "Alright, I will be the little woman behind you."

Dugu Chen, elated beyond expectation, struck while the iron was hot, "Then when will you marry me?"

Feng Xuxu, still full of emotion just a moment ago, suddenly heard him ask when she would marry him, and rolled her eyes, "I haven’t even passed the imperial examinations, yet you are so impatient! I was thinking of waiting a few years."

"That’s not acceptable. Your birthday is in June, so I will marry you on your birthday," he declared, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the person in his arms.

At his words, Feng Xuxu pursed her lips, interrupting the excited Dugu Chen, "I am only fifteen years old this year, and by June, I’ll only be fourteen by the lunar calendar. You, wait another year."

Dugu Chen looked at Feng Xuxu with a sorrowful expression, pouting unhappily, "Dugu Mo is about to have his grand wedding, and Song Jing is also not yet at the right age. Do you really have the heart to see me remain a lonesome man?"

Feng Xuxu, blinking her large eyes, gazed at an unwilling Dugu Chen, and twisted his handsome face back and forth with her hand, "She is her, I am me, that settles it. The grand wedding will take place next year."

At her words, Dugu Chen glared at the little woman in his arms, "Are you really that ruthless?"

With a chuckle, Feng Xuxu looked at Dugu Chen, "A woman has to be fierce to secure her status. Chen, you’re about to marry a fierce woman, you know. It’s not too late to regret it now."

"You enchantress, I like fierce women. Marrying you, I’ll never regret," he declared, holding the woman in his arms tightly, his heart brimming with love for Feng Xuxu.

Feng Xuxu, lulled by the familiar scent of ambergris, drifted off to sleep unknowingly. Dugu Chen watched her lovingly, his cool lips gently pressing a kiss on Feng Xuxu’s rosy cheeks.

From outside the door came Huang Yi’s voice, "Prince, it’s time for the morning court, I have brought your court attire."

Dugu Chen gently laid the little woman in his arms onto the bed, covered her with the blanket, took one deep look, and then let down the mosquito net before getting up and stepping out of the bedroom.

When daylight shone brightly outside, Feng Xuxu slowly came to, yawned, and stretched her arms, becoming more alert.

Seeing movement on the bed, Baihe approached and lifted the light purple mosquito net.

Feng Xuxu turned her head to look at the sky outside and asked from the bed, "What time is it?"

"Miss, it’s already the third quarter of the early morning," Baihe replied, picking up the clothes prepared by the side, ready to help her get dressed.

"Mhm, I’ll dress myself."

After getting dressed and washing up, she had a little breakfast before getting ready to head to the manor. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Cousin, take good care of yourself at the manor," Jueqing said, standing at the door, unable to hide his reluctance as he watched Feng Xuxu.

Hearing this, Feng Xuxu just pursed her lips and smiled, "Don’t worry, cousin, I will."

"Go on, then." Seeing this, Jueqing felt a sourness in his heart, an unpleasant feeling.

Feng Xuxu boarded the first carriage, and as the carriage slowly started to move, the second one followed closely behind, both heading towards Xiaowang Village.

No sooner had they left the city gate than a fast horse caught up from behind.

A man dressed as an imperial guard, with a Sharp Sword by his side, stood in front of the carriage to block the way.
