Chapter 177 Marrying him was probably the greatest blessing of my life.
In this world, you can't always get what you want.
Previously, Qin Yizhen and Madam Min had all planned it out quite well, asking for such a large sum of money and even arranging how to use it. However, the Marquis of Changyang's mansion did not agree, so the matter could not be accomplished.
However, this whole commotion wasn't without its gains.
The divorce decree has been successfully obtained, along with 50,000 taels of silver, which is considered part of the compensation from the Changyang Earl's Mansion for Min Siyue's three years in the Pei family and the loss of her child.
As for Aunt Yuan, it was the Min family that forced her to die to pay for Min Siyue's lost child. But now the Min family has given the Changyang Earl's Mansion a choice. The Changyang Earl's Mansion is unwilling to save Aunt Yuan's life and is forcing her to die.
All the blame falls on the Pei family themselves. If Aunt Yuan and her child have anything to hate, it is only the Pei family's ruthlessness, and has nothing to do with the Min family.
In short, although the ultimate goal was not achieved, the Min family did not suffer a loss.
Families like the Min family value justice and the punishment of the culprits more than money and profit; Song Pingping is no exception.
However, Song Pingping had lost to Lin Yuansheng last time, and Lin Yuansheng had cleared her name. With the idea that she could not suffer a loss, she asked for money.
Justice is the most important thing.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yizhen felt a deep sense of reflection: "That would naturally be the best solution."
Qin Yizhen slept for nearly two hours in the afternoon and evening. The couple had played around for a while, and although they were a little tired, they were not sleepy. After having dinner, the two of them quietly stayed on the couch by the window in the bedroom.
Cheng Yan sat leaning against a soft pillow, flipping through a book in his hand.
Qin Yizhen lay on the couch, her head resting on his lap, holding a storybook in her hand. She flipped through the pages idly, becoming more and more annoyed as she read, and finally threw the storybook aside.
"What? Didn't you like today's storybook?" Cheng Yan asked without looking up.
Qin Yizhen was annoyed: "What's the deal with these stories people write? Why are all the lovers betrayed, humiliated by their husbands and concubines to the point of wishing they were dead, and then divorced after their hearts have turned to ashes? Later, the man repents, and the woman forgives him."
A long time ago, the book "After the Divorce, the Crown Prince Kneels and Begs for Forgiveness" was a bestseller in Qin Du, and many similar books were published afterward.
Qin Yizhen had some free time and enjoyed reading these storybooks, so she bought quite a few and gradually came across three or four of them.
"Speaking of which, what's happening between Miss Min and Prince Pei is quite like something out of a storybook. Do you think Miss Min would agree if Prince Pei suddenly repented and begged her to come back?"
"It's up to her."
"Look at her own appearance?"
“Yes.” Cheng Yan closed the book and reached out to stroke her hair that was casually scattered on his lap. “If Miss Min feels that romantic love is too important to her, something she can’t let go of in her life, and that she has to grit her teeth and keep going even if it breaks her back, then perhaps she will forgive her.”
"Little Begonia".
"Hmm?" Qin Yizhen blushed a little. She always felt a little embarrassed whenever he called her that.
Cheng Yan gently stroked her hair with his fingers, tucking a strand behind her ear: "You must remember, you can't fall into the same trap twice. If someone you care about hurts you, then in their heart, you are someone they can discard."
"Whether he hurt you unintentionally or made the decision after assessing the situation, it's all the same. When the time comes, just abandon him as well."
Qin Yizhen blinked: "Does that include you too?"
“Including.” Cheng Yan lowered his head and stared into her eyes. Their eyes met, and his gaze was deep and unfathomable, like a deep ravine.
Qin Yizhen felt as if her mind was being drawn into his eyes, her heart pounding.
Cheng Yan reached out and covered her eyes, then said to her, "I would rather be hurt myself than hurt you. In my heart, you are one of the two most important people."
Cheng Yan had only two people in his heart: his elder sister, Empress Dowager Cheng, who raised him with great difficulty over the past ten years, and the love of his life, the wife he had gone to great lengths to marry.
It's as if he's worried about her health and doesn't want her to get pregnant right now. He craves intimacy with her, yet he can't bear to let her take those medications, so he ends up taking them secretly himself.
Although Qin Yizhen was annoyed that he had kept it from her, causing her to have unrealized expectations and be disappointed, she was also very shocked and moved.
You should know that in this world, men can marry wives and take concubines, and they especially value offspring. It is impossible for them to take these kinds of drugs. Even if they truly cherish and care for their wives and are worried about their health, they are very likely to take two beautiful concubines.
The pills Cheng Yan is holding are probably one of a kind in the entire Qin capital.
He was a man who could be domineering and forceful at times, but he was also quite reasonable at others. He genuinely loved her and never let her suffer any injustice. He treated her with all his heart, never taking concubines or keeping mistresses, and never seeking pleasure outside the home.
Several times he was annoyed by her and became furious, but in the end he always let it go gently.
Moreover, he is resolute and will not be swayed by external things. He loves her and values her very much, and it is unlikely that he will change his mind in this lifetime.
To win his love and marry him is probably the greatest fortune of one's life.
It's no wonder that Fang Shixin went crazy trying to get him and tried every means to break them up.
Qin Yizhen thought for a moment, and then thought of her past life. Even though he was gone, he had arranged the rest of her life for her, so that she would live a carefree life. When Dong Qin was around, she would always be the noble princess of Dong Qin. When Dong Qin was gone, someone would take her away to a peaceful place in the world so that she could live out her life in peace.
He would even agree if she wanted to remarry.
Qin Yizhen's eyes were covered by him, but she reached out and touched his face. His taut jawline was extremely cold and stern, just like his whole person. When he was out, he was cold and aloof, like an unscalable mountain, and his unfathomable eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
But this very person treated her with utmost tenderness and care, even abandoning all pretense of dignity when coaxing her.
"Cheng Yan," Qin Yizhen suddenly spoke, "then you have to promise me one thing: no matter what, no matter what happens, you must survive. If you're gone, I don't know if I can continue living..."
This is the second life. In the first life, he left, and she was filled with guilt and regret, and her heart was filled with unbearable pain. However, she could not bring herself to die like Wang Xianrong.
But in this life, perhaps because he was so good to her, her heart has slowly become completely filled with him. If his fate cannot be changed, she doesn't know if she will still have the strength to go on.
Cheng Yan didn't answer, but instead reached out and took her hand, saying, "Next year, next year we'll have a baby..."
