Chapter 175: Do You Still Remember Him?
But she knew that no amount of affection could sometimes make up for innate flaws.
She didn’t want Han Jing’s future to be like hers, watching helplessly as the man she dearly loved nested with another woman, and even if they were together, she would have to watch him have children with another woman. For people in love, this was actually a painful thing.
So back then, she resolutely married someone else after he got engaged, not wanting to leave any retreat for either of them. She would rather love and miss the chance than watch intense love turn sour and be powerless to do anything.
It’s just that this child came at the wrong time.
If only, after Jing’er married, such a surprise came, how wonderful that would be.
But now...
Su Yaogeng was struggling with how Jing’er’s future should be shaped and arranged.
Su Yaogeng grasped Han Jing’s hand: "Jing’er, Mother knows how important this child is to you. Mother understands more than anyone. Let’s do this, Jing’er, we’ll find someone, find a suitable person, then quickly get engaged, married, while there’s still time, and by the time the baby is born, Mother will have everything arranged, this way it will be seamless..."
This was the best plan Su Yaogeng could think of.
But it seemed too rushed, and she didn’t have time to get to know the other person’s character.
Su Yaogeng was a bit confused; instinctively, she couldn’t accept randomly finding a man to marry Han Jing. But if she didn’t do this, Jing’er’s reputation in this lifetime would be completely ruined. She initially thought that Jing’er practiced martial arts and with her talent, she would eventually break through to a level where she could enter the Spirit Cultivation Level. By that time, she could leave here and visit the Spirit Cultivation Realm, perhaps meeting a better man.
But she never expected such an accident to happen at this time.
"Jing’er... you, let Mother think it over again." Su Yaogeng was genuinely conflicted and hesitant now; she didn’t know what choice would be best for Han Jing.
"Mother, I..." Han Jing was about to explain to Su Yaogeng that she didn’t plan to get married, when Su Yaogeng suddenly had a bright idea and interrupted her.
"Right!" Su Yaogeng seemed relieved: "How could I have forgotten him? Jing’er, trust Mother this once, this time, Mother will find you someone reliable."
Han Jing was exasperated: "Mother, I..."
"I don’t know if you remember him, the Fourth Prince, Su Xingqiao. You met him when you were young; he’s just three years older than you. But he went to the border at thirteen, and it’s been six years since then. Now he’s nineteen. Jing’er, Qiao’er is a good kid, not like Su Xingyan, not like other princes. He’s spent a few years with your eleventh uncle, and he’s a trustworthy person. I’ll ask your eleventh uncle to mediate, Qiao’er will agree. He took good care of you when you were young. If you marry Qiao’er, no matter what, he’ll take good care of you. Mother will be at ease entrusting you to him. You may have to leave the Capital City and stay at the border for a long time, but this way, you’ll at least avoid a lot of trouble, and you can live well with Qiao’er. You’ll be happy. As for the child, even if he’s owed an explanation, knowing Qiao’er’s character, he’ll never put you in an awkward position. Originally, if you weren’t going to be engaged to Su Xingyan, Mother was planning to marry you to Qiao’er."
