The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

455  Paying Her Mother's Debts

"Just like what Empress Jia said that day, when the Song and Liu families were in trouble, Xiangyang was not even born yet. There was no need to implicate her in these matters.

"Even if they really want to settle scores, letting Xiangyang marry Cousin Ling could be considered a way to pay off her Empress Mother's debt."

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned when she heard this.

They could still settle scores in this manner?

When he saw her reaction, Song Que grabbed Qin Xiaoyao's hand.

"Let's go for a walk on the streets," he said.

"Okay," Qin Xiaoyao answered.

She followed Song Que for a few more steps before she gathered her thoughts and stopped thinking about the Liu siblings.

The couple soon reached the street.

The streets of the capital had always been bustling. Even at night, it would be lively until late at night.

Qin Xiaoyao felt contented as she walked down the street.

She couldn't help thinking back to the time when she was in Mountain Spring Town. After dinner, the whole family would go out for a walk in the streets to digest their food.

"Oh, right. When you went to see His Highness today, did he agree to let you go back to Mountain Spring Town with me?" Qin Xiaoyao asked.

"Not really," Song Que replied.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao's baffled expression, he said, "But he didn't object either."

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiaoyao was even more puzzled.

"He said we can discuss it again once the situation in the capital has completely stabilized," Song Que said.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

"I think there's a high probability he won't agree.

"If I were His Highness, I probably wouldn't let you go either."

Her husband was so capable. With the help of such a talent, wouldn't it be much easier for His Highness to carry out his duty as the Emperor in the future?

Song Que smiled.

"I feel that His Highness is even more reluctant to part with you," he said.

He had followed the Second Prince for two lifetimes. No one knew his personality better than Song Que.

The Second Prince was about to ascend the throne, and thereafter he had to govern his kingdom.

After a few more years, when the kingdom had stabilized, he would have other thoughts.

His Highness was full of ambition. Merely taking control of the Great Jin State was not his ultimate goal.

If His Highness wanted to expand his territory, Song Que's wife would be his best helper.

Moreover… Song Que had already noticed this. His Highness treated his wife somewhat differently.

Just based on this point, he could not allow his wife to stay in the capital.

As for him, he naturally had to follow his wife.

Qin Xiaoyao's heart trembled slightly as she thought of something.

Almost immediately, she suppressed the tiny tinge of guilt in her heart.

It was fine. She had never taken Prince Huaiyin's probing and flirting seriously.

Her husband was probably referring to the fact that Prince Huaiyin valued her ability to lead troops into battle.

"So what if he is reluctant?

"It's not like he'll let us be officials at the same time. I'm not interested in helping him fight and kill," Qin Xiaoyao said against her conscience.

Sigh! Only God knew that her original plan was to occasionally go to the border to kill people.

She was thinking she could do this to release the evil energy that had accumulated in her body.

However, right now, her husband's feelings were more important.

Whatever things that might happen in the future could be discussed later.

Song Que turned his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly gave her husband a bright smile.

Song Que smiled in amusement. He could not resist reaching out to scratch Qin Xiaoyao's nose.

"Ouch!" Qin Xiaoyao deliberately yelled out and stepped back to evade his touch.

Song Que exerted some strength to pull his wife back.

He did not insist on scratching the bridge of her nose again. Instead, he gave a deep sigh.

"In the future, I don't mind whether you become a Great General or not. However, you have to remember to have less contact with His Highness," he said with a tinge of jealousy.

Qin Xiaoyao shrank her nose back as she carefully glanced at the man beside her.

She finally realized that her husband had sensed Prince Huaiyin's feelings for her.

"Hubby, you have the final say! I'll listen to you, Hubby!" Hence, she hurriedly said.

Song Que turned his head and gave his wife a glare with a smile.

"You can't refuse to listen.

"When the matters in the capital are settled, I will follow you.

"Wherever you go, I will follow.

At that point, even if a certain someone had the intention, he would not have the chance.

Of course, deep down, he still believed that his wife wouldn't have such bad taste.

In other aspects, he might not be able to beat Prince Huaiyin.

However, his appearance alone was enough to capture his wife's heart.

Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, after returning to Mountain Spring Town, he would think of a way to tie his wife down completely.

Recently, he went to look for a miracle healer doctor. With more treatment, there might still be a chance for his body.

Sigh! He was really looking forward to the day when his wife became pregnant with his child.

Qin Xiaoyao's heart was filled with sweetness. She tightened her grip on Song Que's hand.

"Alright. Wherever Hubby is, that's where I'll be," she replied sweetly.

At most, she would bring her husband to the border.

She could just take it as having a vacation with her husband.

Song Que smiled dotingly as he held Qin Xiaoyao's hand and walked forward.

After walking for a while, Qin Xiaoyao told Song Que that she was going to the palace to visit Empress Jia the next day.

The person she sent to inquire with Prince Huaiyin had already returned to report that His Highness had given permission for her to bring Princess Xiangyang into the palace to visit Empress Jia the next day.

Song Que wasn't unhappy after hearing that.

"Since you are going, you may as well ask for Empress Jia's opinion," he said.

"If she really cares for her daughter, she should be willing to let Xiangyang marry Cousin Ling."

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

"I was thinking the same thing," she concurred.

All of them would be leaving. If they left that girl Xiangyang all alone in the capital, Qin Xiaoyao did not feel quite at ease.

After chatting about Princess Xiangyang for a while, Qin Xiaoyao asked Song Que about the matters of the Imperial Court.

"As for those people who have been unearthed from the earlier investigation, the Ministry of Justice has already arrested them after following the clues.

"The rest will be caught soon."

Furthermore, many people would spill out the people and things they knew in order to protect themselves.

Even if someone was stubborn, they would not be able to withstand Song Que's torture methods.

After all, in his previous life, he was a famous cruel official.

What kind of rumor did other people spread about him…

Oh, yes. They said he had a face as lovely as a peach blossom and a heart as venomous as a snake or scorpion.

Although the memories of his previous life were already a little far away, he still had not forgotten those methods.

"That's good.

"Quickly settle the matters in the capital so that we can return to Mountain Spring Town as soon as possible. I miss Mother and Yun 'er and Ye'er. There's also my sister-in-law and Big Girl Li.

"I wonder how big those few babies are now."

In particular, Little Chunhua had always been chubby since she was young. Now she must be even cuter. That was her goddaughter!

"Mm-hmm!" Song Que answered.

He couldn't help thinking of the people and things in Mountain Spring Town. His heart was filled with yearning.

Meanwhile, Yun Niang dragged Princess Xiangyang to her courtyard.

Then, she asked Princess Xiangyang more questions.

She was like a big sister who was very concerned about Princess Xiangyang.

Princess Xiangyang was a little reserved at first. Towards the end, she felt that Yun Niang was really concerned about her and she felt a little touched.

"Sister, don't… you hate me?" Suddenly, Princess Xiangyang asked Yun Niang.

Yun Niang was stunned momentarily.

When she saw Princess Xiangyang looking at her nervously, she had some guesses about what the girl's worries were.

Thus, she smiled.

"Why would I hate you?" Yun Niang asked in return.
