If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

After Princess Yongning agreed to the marriage, she became even more unwilling to see anyone.

Apart from meeting Shen Suian once, she ordered the house to be closed to visitors, and even the eldest prince was turned away when he wanted to see her.

The eldest prince proposed to the emperor to escort Yongning to the Southern Dynasty.

"Well, you are Yongning's brother. I will feel more at ease if you accompany her to get married." The emperor thought for a moment and agreed.

Because of the matter of Concubine Xian, the Emperor has not yet figured out what to do with his eldest son.

He wanted to give his son's trust and let him return to the border military camp, but he was also worried that he would harbor resentment in his heart. He came back this time just to confuse him and would find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.

It would be better to let him escort Yongning to get married, so that I can have more time to test him.

"Father, Yongning has been smart since she was young. She must have thought carefully about wanting to marry. Please take care of yourself and don't be angry anymore." The eldest prince glanced at the emperor and said in a low voice.

The emperor held his chest and sighed.

When Yongning knelt in front of him and said she wanted to marry him, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

There was even a moment when he wanted to take up the sword and kill Queen Qu himself.

She had already ruined his son, and now she was going to ruin his daughter.

"I know that Yongning is not willing to marry." The emperor said in a low voice.

"But she begged me to let her go, so I had no choice but to agree to her request."

The eldest prince thought of the fifth prince's eyes full of resentment, and he sighed helplessly, "Father, when I come back from the Southern Dynasty, can you give me a place to stay? I want to leave Shangjing City."

The emperor looked at the eldest prince deeply and said, "Don't think too much. Wait until you come back from the Southern Dynasty."

Coming out of the Yangxin Palace, the eldest prince saw Guangning not far away.

"Brother, have you met my sister?" Guangning asked with a smile on his lips.

"Yongning refuses to see me. She is in a bad mood. What's wrong? Do you want to find Yongning too?" The eldest prince lowered his eyes and looked at Guangning.

He remembered that Guangning had never liked Yongning and their relationship was not good.

Guangning's eyes were filled with pity. "Now that my sister is leaving for the Southern Dynasty, we probably won't have a chance to meet again. I want to hold a banquet to send her off. What do you think, brother?"

The eldest prince laughed: "Yongning is getting married, not going out for fun, why does she need a farewell party?"

"I'm just looking for an excuse. I heard that she always locks herself up in the mansion. This is not acceptable," Guangning said.

"Ask Yongning what she thinks first. If she doesn't want to, it's not easy to force her." The eldest prince did not agree immediately.

Guangning's eyes were slightly red. "Big Brother, do you think that I was willful and capricious in the past and always quarreled with my sister? Are you worried that I am deliberately making fun of her this time?"

The eldest prince said, "No, Guangning, I don't think so. It's just that... Yongning's marriage was not her wish. She must be in a bad mood. We are not her and cannot empathize with her. It's best not to disturb her at this time."

"Okay, I understand." There was a flash of disappointment in Guangning's eyes. She wanted to ask Yongning for help with something.

It's just that she wanted to see Yongning, but Yongning would not see her.

The eldest prince whispered: "Yong Ning would like to see Shen Sui'an, maybe..."

When Guangning heard Shen Suian's name, the sadness in his eyes gradually faded away.

"Me too...I haven't seen Shen Sui'an for a long time."

I almost forgot about this person.

……

Shen Sui'an was packing Lu Yuan's belongings and a pile of trauma medicine.

Although many things have changed since my rebirth, what happened in my previous life may not happen in this life.

She was still uneasy.

"If it wasn't inappropriate, I would follow you to the Southern Dynasty." Shen Suian said in a low voice.

Lu Yuan stood up and walked in front of her, holding her in his arms, "Sui Sui, you seem to be particularly afraid of me going to the Southern Dynasty. Did you have a dream again that I was in danger in the Southern Dynasty?"

Shen Sui'an hummed, "I had a nightmare, so I'm scared."

"No, I will come back safely." Lu Yuan's low voice sounded particularly gentle.

"But..." Shen Suian raised his head.

Lu Yuan lowered his head and kissed her lips, and the delicate kiss landed on the corner of her lips, "Believe me, with you here, I will be fine."

Shen Sui'an's heart was beating fast. She hugged his strong waist and kissed him back.

Outside, light snow was falling.

The house is warm and springy.

"I'll go get the sheep intestine snare." Lu Yuan's voice was hoarse and restrained.

"...I forgot to soak it in water." Shen Suian said in a soft voice.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and was about to stand up when he was hooked by a pair of slender white legs.

"It's OK without the sheep intestine."

When the clouds and rain stopped, it was already getting dark.

Shen Sui'an felt a little tired, and she glanced at Lu Yuan coquettishly.

“I haven’t packed my things yet.”

Lu Yuan chuckled softly, "You've been packing for several days. You've brought everything you need."

"The eldest prince is also going to the Southern Dynasty, so I'm afraid you can't keep your background secret here." Shen Sui'an said.

"Sui Sui, when I'm not in the capital, you can go and live at the Shen's house first. I have discussed this with my grandfather, and he thinks this is the best approach." Lu Yuan said.

He already had a premonition that his background could not be concealed, and in order to prevent someone from using this to harm Shen Sui'an, he had to make arrangements first.

"If you encounter difficulties, you can find Uncle San or Xie Changyu."

Shen Sui'an nodded, "Okay, I'll remember that."

"Are you hungry? Please serve the food." Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

"hungry."

After a few more days, the marriage team was ready.

Fu Jinyi and the envoys from the Southern Dynasty were also about to leave Shangjing City.

Ruan invited Lu Yuan and his wife to her home for a farewell banquet.

"Lu Yuan, don't worry, we will take care of Sui Sui." Ruan glanced at Shen Sui'an.

They all knew that when Lu Yuan came back from the Southern Dynasty this time, his identity would be different.

"There is one more thing that your aunt wants to remind you of." Ruan hesitated to speak.

Lu Yuan: "Aunt, please tell me."

"Don't expect too much from your biological father. Jin Yi grew up under his care, and he can be so biased that it's outrageous, not to mention..."

Not to mention Lu Yuan, who was abandoned by him since childhood.

Ruan really felt sorry for Lu Yuan. His return to the Southern Dynasty was not smooth sailing.

In the Lu family, he is hated by Mr. Lu, and his biological father also dislikes him.

It’s such a hard life.

When Lu Yuan heard this, he just smiled faintly, "Aunt, I am no longer old enough to need a father."

"What I mean is that no matter what you want to do, you don't have to be soft-hearted towards him," said Ruan.

"He has let you down, and he has let my sister down. Don't expect him to change. If he is being nice to you, he must be trying to take advantage of you."

Ruan Yilang: "Ahem, don't scare Lu Yuan."

"I'm just stating the facts." Ruan said coldly.

"He no longer cares about favoring his concubine and destroying his wife. He wants to destroy our entire Ruan family. If it weren't for our solid foundation, we would have been destroyed by him and the He family long ago."

Fu Jinyi straightened up, "Aunt, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect my brother and will not let father and He Zhiyuan hurt him."

Lu Yuan chuckled, "Thank you."
