QT: TPE Chapter 4.2

Xu Lingyi also longed to see her father and brothers. After they died in her past life, all she thought about every day was her family.

She recalled the warm and loving times they spent together as a family.

Now that she had been reborn, she longed to rush into her father’s and brothers’ arms without any hesitation, to see them, and to personally confirm that they were alright.

But Xu Lingyi knew that it was best if her father and brothers didn’t come back.

“Mother, I have already made up my mind about my marriage. I was ignorant before. Please talk to Father. I trust you and Father. You can arrange the person, so Father and Brothers don’t need to return to the capital for now. The capital is so far from the border. Even if Father and Brothers come back, they won’t stay for long. They have been too tired from running around for my sake.”

“It’s better to wait a year or two until the border is stable, then they can come back, and our family can stay together for a long time.”

Xu Lingyi knew that the border region would be stable in two years. At that time, her father and brothers would be able to stay in the capital for a longer period of time.

She thought that at that time, she might be able to kill Princess Minghua, or at least prevent Princess Minghua from doing whatever she wanted.

Mrs. Xu was somewhat surprised.

“Haven’t you always thought that warriors were rude?”

Xu Lingyi shook her head: “That’s what I used to think, but I know that Mother and Father would never harm me. The person you chose for me must be the best, so I’ve decided to listen to Father and Mother.”

Mrs. Xu looked at her and couldn’t help but take her hand: “Our Yi’er has grown up.”

“Your mother and father only hope that you are happy and have a peaceful life. Everything should be done according to your wishes.”

Xu Lingyi quickly spoke up, fearing that her father and brothers might really come back, as she currently lacked the ability to contend with Princess Minghua.

She was His Majesty’s only princess, while she was merely a subject’s daughter.

“Mother, I really want to listen to you so that Father and Brothers don’t have to travel back.”

Mrs. Xu finally nodded in agreement.

In her heart, she still preferred Xu Zheng. She had watched him grow up since he was a child, so she felt most at ease with him.

“Very well, then I will write a letter later. This time, they came back too hastily. They had to leave again after only a few days back in the capital. His Majesty trusts the Xu family, and as his subjects, we should be even more grateful and guard the border well. Leaving Xu Zheng alone is still risky. If nothing goes wrong, that’s fine, but if something does, we will be letting His Majesty down.”

They didn’t plan to come back at first, but marriage is a major event in a woman’s life.

The Xu family has been loyal to the country for generations, serving the country faithfully for decades. However, General Xu also has his own selfish desires, wanting to return to find a good husband for his daughter.

The reason the Xu family dared to do this was because the border had become much more peaceful recently.

But it’s better not to gamble; there will always be a day when they can reunite.

Xu Lingyi was still worried, so she wrote another letter, telling her father and brothers not to come back, and repeatedly urging them to prioritize the border.

She believes that her father and brothers will stay on the frontier; they are loyal to the Emperor and love their country, and they do not want the people on the border to suffer.

She might feel bad for Xu Zheng, but she won’t marry him.

She said those things just now only to prevent her father and brothers from returning to the capital.

With this matter resolved, Xu Lingyi felt relieved.

The next step was to plan her entry into the palace.

Li Xu had not yet become the crown prince at this time.

If Li Xu really becomes the crown prince, the Xu family will definitely not have an easy time.

He will definitely still target the Xu family because the Xu family’s achievements overshadow the emperor’s, and Xu’s father has a deep friendship with the current Emperor. The Emperor will not suspect that Xu’s father’s achievements overshadow him, the Emperor, but Li Xu definitely will.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot let Li Xu ascend the throne; otherwise, the Xu family will suffer the same fate as in her past life.
