Princess, Rest Assured

"This is a long story, Your Marquis, please allow me to tell you slowly," Physician Bian said calmly. "Let Jingyuan go and rest; he must be tired from the journey."

Both were traveling, Physician Bian Zhou Jingyuan could not hide his fatigue.

Xu Weibei waved his hand, signaling Zhou Jingyuan to step down.

Zhou Jingyuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly retreated.

--This matter is full of strange things, and he has a feeling that the truth is about to come out.

A moment later, Xu Weibei and Physician Bian sat facing each other on the chaise longue.

"Can I speak now?" Xu Weibei asked coldly.

Now that things had come to this, he was quite certain that Physician Bian was keeping it from him.

"It's a long story," Physician Bian said with deep emotion, his eyes filled with wistful reminiscence and sadness.

"I have plenty of time," Xu Weibei said through gritted teeth.

"Let me think," Physician Bian said slowly, "I'll start with the princess. The princess I'm referring to isn't your grandmother, but your mother."

Xu Weibei expressionless.

Physician Bian was surprised.

"Could it be that the Marquis knows about his true parentage?"

"Know."

"When? Who told you?" Physician Bian asked in surprise.

"Anyway, I know now, my mother is Southern Border Princess."

Xu Weibei did not mention the emperor.

He cannot be completely open with those who hold back from him.

He had always trusted Physician Bian, and now he felt betrayed and manipulated.

"My Marquis, are you aware of the conflict between the princess and the Grand Princess?"

"Because the grandmother looked down on the mother's background?"

Upon Physician Bian said, "Then you probably don't know."

"What other secrets are there? Don't beat around the bush or try to be mysterious today. Tell me everything!" Xu Weibei said sternly.

Physician Bian should have told the truth a long time ago.

"The Grand Princess truly dislikes the princess, because she has long been searching for suitable marriage partners in the capital for the Marquis the Capital. The princess is not someone the Grand Princess likes. And, most importantly—"

Chapter 276 Princess, please rest assured

"The Grand Princess never hid her dislike for the Princess, and the Princess was no pushover either, so the Marquis was caught in the middle and in a difficult position..."

If Gu Wanning were here, she would definitely say that marriage brings women nothing but troublesome issues like mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationships, and no one can escape them.

So, marriage is a pitfall; whoever wants to jump in can jump in.

She is irresponsible.

She refuses to get married.

"... Life was passable until later, when the Grand Princess drugged the Marquis and gave him her own maid... This was something the princess could not tolerate."

Xu Weibei clenched his fists tightly.

This is indeed something a strong-willed grandmother would do.

She had slapped her mother hard in the face and destroyed her mother's belief in monogamy.

"The princess and the Marquis had a huge argument," Physician Bian sighed, "The Marquis felt guilty and doted on the princess..."

But the princess was never happy again.

At this point, Physician Bian's eyes showed pain.

She was the proudest princess of the Southern Border. The late emperor said that the princess was the jewel in his crown.

But the pearl of Southern Border has lost its luster and can never return to its former glory.

The princess remained deeply troubled, refusing to see the Marquis. Even after Marquis arranged for the maid to marry another, the princess could not find peace. When news of an impending crisis reached the Northwest, the Marquis hastily accepted his orders and departed. Before leaving, the princess still did not see him...

At that time, she didn't know that it should have been the last time she and her husband would see each other.

The Marquis passed away suddenly because a minor injury worsened.

The princess couldn't believe it.

She hated his betrayal, but death blurred those memories, leaving only excruciating pain.

The two were deeply in love and inseparable; they were the epitome of a perfect couple.

If it weren't for the interference of the Grand Princess, they would have lived happily ever after.

The princess hated the Grand Princess.

But as she stroked the Marquis's memorial tablet, she said, "I wish I could kill her, but I know that even in the next life, you wouldn't forgive me. What did you do wrong to have such a mother? And what did I do wrong to have to endure all this?"

They're both right!

The one in the wrong is the Grand Princess who interfered!

Unfortunately, that was his own mother.

On his deathbed, he was worried about himself, but he must have also been worried about his widowed mother who had raised him.

He was probably caught in the middle and it was too difficult for him, so he got tired and went to rest.

"... The princess can't get over it. The Marquis is gone, and she doesn't want to live anymore. But she's worried about you," Physician Bian looked at Xu Weibei, his eyes moist. "The Marquis is the princess's only attachment in this world."

"The princess gave you medicine. She said she would never let down the woman who loves you in this life. She wanted to be a good mother, but she's truly sorry..."

"I've been the princess's attendant since childhood." Doctor Physician Bian almost couldn't hold back his tears as he recalled the radiant woman he had kept in his heart his whole life, her every smile and gesture, and the struggles she endured in the final moments of her life. "The princess entrusted you to me. She said that she would give you the antidote when you met someone you truly wanted to love... so that the woman you love in the future wouldn't mind your past."

Because the princess was very bothered by it.

The Marquis used to have concubines, but those princesses tolerated it because of their love for him.

But she knew how much she minded.

Because she herself had been caught in the rain, she held an umbrella for her future daughter-in-law.

"The princess gave me something separately, something for the lady," Physician Bian choked up. "I was worried I wouldn't be able to deliver it... I delayed my return because I knew you knew the truth and I couldn't explain it to you. But after seeing Zhou Jingyuan, he told me about you and the lady, and I knew the princess's wish was finally about to be fulfilled."
