As a prince, he naturally held a significant position of advantage regarding the Xiao family.
To put it bluntly, for a prince to marry a girl from a commoner's family, even if she were to be a concubine, that would be a stroke of luck for her ancestors. Let alone marrying her as the Primary Wife; one could only imagine that his ancestors must have been exceptionally virtuous for such good fortune to occur.
Thus, He Yu's vow left the members of the Xiao Family present nearly terrified.
This... this...
"This is simply impossible," Xiao Guangzheng was already sweating profusely, "With such a heavy vow from the prince, how... how can we, mere commoners, bear this..."
"Xiao Laoye need not think too much; these words come from my sincere heart. Since I, He Yu, have come forward, I will certainly be able to fulfill it," He Yu said with a smile. Xiao Yao looked at the man before her; to be honest, at eighteen years old, He Yu was merely a boy about to graduate high school and enter university in modern times.
Yet here he was, already shouldering such a great responsibility.
After spending more than a month together, it seemed that Xiao Yao had only just begun to carefully observe the man who was about to become her husband. He Yu's shoulders were not particularly broad; in fact, they bore the slight frailty of youth. His upturned brows always carried an air of arrogance and recklessness, naturally exuding charm and allure.
He Yu seemed to sense Xiao Yao's gaze upon him and turned to her with a radiant smile. "What? Have you been captivated by your husband?"
"..." With that teasing tone, Xiao Yao silently withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.
In that moment, she failed to notice the joy and affection in He Yu's eyes, which even held a hint of nostalgia.
Standing nearby, Li observed this scene and tugged at Xiao Moxian's sleeve, saying, "See? The prince truly cares for her. You're just worrying too much."
Xiao Moxian and Xiao Mo Yi fell silent, saying nothing.
When a daughter gets married, it is naturally impossible for the wedding to take place in Nanping.
Moreover, Xiao Guangzheng and Xiao Moxian could not abandon their business in Nanping. Li and Mrs. Xiao could not travel alone either. Therefore, just days before their departure, Xiao Guangzheng hosted a banquet for the local people of Nanping to celebrate.
The formal wedding ceremony would naturally have to take place in the capital city. Furthermore, the prince's marriage was certainly not simple; its complexity was likely beyond their imagination. Hearing that Xiao Laoye was hosting a banquet for the Common People of Nanping, everyone eagerly attended; after all, one was marrying a prince! It was only right to partake in some of that good fortune.
Finally, the day of departure has arrived.
The morning sunlight is quite nice. Xiao Yao gets out of bed, and Yun Yue and Yun Bi are busy helping her get ready.
"Don't make it too complicated; it won't be convenient on the road," Xiao Yao advises. "Wear something comfortable that allows for easy movement."
"Sure, don't worry, Sister," Yun Yue replies with a smile.
Yun Yue and Yun Bi will be accompanying Xiao Yao to the capital. These two girls have grown up alongside Xiao Yao; they were bought by Xiao Guangzheng from the market years ago, orphaned and of similar age to Xiao Yao, and they are not married.
If they were really left at the Xiao Family, it would be difficult to figure out how to settle them. Fortunately, they can just go to the capital with Xiao Yao.
The two girls are naturally very happy. In the Xiao Family, where a sense of parting hangs heavily in the air, they are among the few who are genuinely cheerful. Once they finish packing, Xiao Yao looks into a bronze mirror and glances around at the room's decor, letting out a long sigh.
Although she is bringing quite a few things, the furnishings in this room are not particularly abundant. Aside from some items that Xiao Yao is used to, other decorations and furnishings have been taken from the Storage Room or custom-made by Mrs. Xiao and Li for her to take along.
When Li enters the room and sees Xiao Yao looking around, she smiles and approaches her, tidying up her clothes as she says, "This room will always be kept for you. If you end up following Prince Southern Tour again, you can come back home to stay."
"Mm." Xiao Yao smiles back. Li is valued by Mrs. Xiao for her kindness and understanding; although she hasn't studied much, she is very clever. Moreover, her loyalty to Xiao Mo Yi makes her a rare find.
It's no wonder Mrs. Xiao likes this daughter-in-law so much. Li continues, "The prince is already waiting outside in the courtyard. Your parents are also waiting for you in the main house for breakfast; hurry up."
"He’s outside?" Xiao Yao asks in surprise as Li nods. "…Alright then, let's go."
The two of them step outside, with Yun Yue and Yun Bi following behind. Just as they exit the courtyard, they see He Yu waiting not far away. Upon seeing Xiao Yao come out, he immediately breaks into a smile and quickly walks over to take her hand. "Let's go; everyone is waiting for you in the main house."
Xiao Yao tries to pull her hand away but can't manage to escape. He Yu seems to anticipate her attempt and tightens his grip slightly, making it impossible for her to break free.
Xiao Yao glares at He Yu, but he remains unfazed and cheerfully says, "Hurry up; we need to hit the road early to avoid being late and having to sleep out in the wilderness tonight."
“What?!” Xiao Yao's eyes widened in disbelief. You actually want me to sleep in the wild?! “... What if there are snakes?” Xiao Yao cursed He Yu's ancestors in her heart, but ultimately only managed to weakly voice this one concern.
Yun Yue and Yun Bi, who hadn’t thought much of it before, now began to worry upon hearing their sister's words.
He Yu's mouth twitched; he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare. Turning his head, he said seriously, “So we need to leave early. If we do, we can reach the next town before dark, and then we can find an inn or a place to stay.”
“Oh, then let’s hurry up and go!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao grabbed He Yu's hand and rushed ahead.
No way was she going to sleep on the street! What if she got bitten by a snake or some other unknown creature? She had only been here for less than a year; she didn’t want to die!
He Yu wasn’t prepared for her sudden pull and stumbled slightly. However, seeing Xiao Yao’s flustered demeanor made him feel amused yet also found her quite adorable.
He could only sigh softly behind her, “Fool.”
Unfortunately, Xiao Yao didn’t hear this; otherwise, she would have likely retaliated immediately.
