After Jiujiu revealed the truth behind the matter, Ling Xiao felt that Jiujiu had done the right thing.
Even though Jiujiu's decision to divorce Wan 'er was a little shocking, that was how life was sometimes. Separation was the best choice.
Take Wan 'er and Li Xiucai for example. Neither of them was happy when they were together.
A man like Li Xiucai wasn't good enough for Wan 'er.
"Of course you're right."
Moreover, he never said that Jiujiu was wrong. He just didn't know how to react to Jiujiu's decision because it was too shocking.
Jiujiu chuckled when she saw that Ling Xiao supported her. "You still haven't told me why you came to look for me."
Ling Xiao didn't want to lie to Jiujiu, so he said honestly, "I heard that you wanted to divorce Wan 'er, so I came to take a look."
"Do you think what I'm doing is too shocking?"
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "A little."
Letting people separate from each other wasn't just shocking, it was simply unprecedented.
Ling Xiao was worried that Jiujiu would be upset, so he added, "But it's okay. I can accept it."
Ling Xiao's last sentence was filled with a strong desire to live. Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh.
Jiujiu stared at Ling Xiao unblinkingly.
Ling Xiao's cheeks heated up because of Jiujiu's focused gaze.
"If you're not coming in, when are you going to come in?"
It was fine that she hadn't noticed him standing outside the window, but now that she had, it was inexcusable that he was still standing there like a fool.
Ling Xiao looked up at the sky.
The sky was already dark when he arrived. Now, it was even darker.
Ling Xiao said, "It's getting late. Should I go back?"
"We're about to get married. Why do you still care about this?"
Although that was what she said, the two of them weren't married yet.
It would be fine if no one saw it. If someone saw it, it would be fine since he was a man, but Jiujiu's reputation would be tarnished.
He liked Jiujiu and instinctively wanted to be close to Jiujiu, but he was also a man.
He had to consider Jiujiu's reputation.
Ling Xiao stood there. "Since you're fine, I'll go back."
"Be careful on your way back." Seeing that Ling Xiao was not coming in, Jiujiu did not insist.
"The same goes for you. Don't go out during this period of time. Stay at home and wait for me to marry you."
Ling Xiao didn't mind how shocking Jiujiu's actions were.
But just because he didn't mind, it didn't mean that he didn't mind when others returned to their roots.
Over the years, he had disregarded the old fogeys' style of making peace and had single-handedly driven the Xiongnu from the border to the distant north.
Even if the wheel of time had proven that as long as the Xiongnu were scared, they would be able to live and work in peace.
But, to that group of old fogeys.
The result wasn't important. What was important was that he didn't do as they had planned. So, they used different methods to find fault with him.
He had no father or mother, and didn't have any particularly good friends. The only person he could barely be considered close to was the Gong Prince, who had royal blood flowing in his veins.
They couldn't afford to provoke the Gong Prince, so naturally they had to find fault elsewhere.
Now that he was going to marry Jiujiu, they naturally had their eyes on Jiujiu.
Jiujiu nodded very obediently.
She understood Ling Xiao's concerns, and also understood the inconvenience brought by Ling Xiao's identity. In fact, the reason why she was anxious to have her Wan Niang and Li Xiucai get a divorce was because of Ling Xiao's identity.
If she wanted them to get a divorce now, she could still push the blame onto herself.
After she married Ling Xiao, if she wanted them to get a divorce, there would be countless people who would use this as an excuse to attack Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao wanted to protect her, but how could she not want to protect Ling Xiao?
Back at the General's Mansion, the old steward came to report on the renovation of the bridal chamber.
The old steward had been waiting for the stars and the moon, and finally, the day of Ling Xiao's wedding had arrived.
The old steward felt that even if he had to die now, he would be willing to do so.
The old steward was like a very simple and honest grandfather who wholeheartedly wanted the best for you. He didn't know what beauty was, what beauty was?
He only knew, what was good for you?
He gave you everything he thought was the best.
The old steward had been in the General's Mansion since he was a child.
His beauty had been influenced by the previous head of the General's Mansion, which was his father, so his beauty was naturally at the same level as the rest of the people in the General's Mansion.
Looking at the old steward looking at the tidied up room, Ling Xiao felt like his eyes were about to go blind.
Even if he knew that this was the old steward's good intentions.
But, that didn't mean he could accept this good intentions.
If he said it directly, it would definitely hurt the old steward's heart, so Ling Xiao didn't directly express his disapproval. Instead, he expressed his opinion very tactfully.
"Wan 'er likes simple and elegant things. The layout here is beautiful, but I'm afraid she won't be very satisfied with it. Let's put it away."
From the moment Ling Xiao decided to get married, the most important person in the old steward's heart was no longer Ling Xiao, but Jiujiu.
After all, the old steward had long felt that the person who could make Ling Xiao willing to marry was the great benefactor of the General's Mansion.
Moreover, since Ling Xiao could remember Jiujiu's preferences so clearly, it was obvious that he liked Jiujiu very much. After they got married, there would be no need to worry about not having a young master or young mistress.
At the thought of this, the old steward immediately patted his chest and promised that he would take care of everything.
Although the old steward was full of confidence.
Ling Xiao felt that the old steward's confidence was too strong, and it gave him a very strange feeling.
Reality proved that Ling Xiao's intuition was very accurate.
The new house wasn't as shiny as before, but the flowers and plants in the house were a little green, and it gave people a sense of discomfort.
Seeing the old steward's expectant expression, Ling Xiao didn't know what to say.
Ling Xiao sighed helplessly.
"Steward, don't you think there are a little too many trees in this house?"
One or two plants could be said to be simple and elegant, but if the whole house was filled with plants, was it a place for people to live or a place for flowers and plants?
The old steward looked at the greenery in the house and said with a chuckle, "Not a lot, not a lot? I've asked people about these. The flowers and plants in the house are all rare species. Madam will definitely like them when she sees them. "
Looking at the old steward's confident expression, Ling Xiao sighed.
Sometimes it was like this, but if you didn't strike his confidence, you would be struck by his confidence.
If Ling Xiao lived alone, the old butler could do whatever he wanted with him.
But thinking of Jiujiu living in the same house as him, Ling Xiao instantly sighed. "Steward, I'm a newlywed. It's not very appropriate for you to make so much greenery, is it?"
Ling Xiao's words woke him up from his dream!
Steward Li didn't feel it when he was decorating the house.
Now that Ling Xiao mentioned it, he realized that it wasn't very appropriate for him to fill the house with greenery when he had just gotten married.
