"Alin wants to completely break up with Cui Shaoqing." Shen Xihe understood Bu Shulin's intention immediately after hearing what Xiao Huayong said.
She had to go back to Shunan, where too many people needed her. She had to become the king of Shunan in order to provide a foundation for those who had followed the Bu family. She could not abandon the Bu family, and naturally she did not want Cui Jinbai to abandon the Cui family for her.
The once powerful aristocratic family completely collapsed in the hands of Your Majesty. The Cui family is now the head of the aristocratic families, and no one of Cui Jinbai's generation can be equal to him. He wants to stay in the Cui family for the sake of the Cui family and the prosperity of the aristocratic family.
This is his unshirkable responsibility, just as Bu Shulin cannot escape his responsibility.
Rather than suffering a long-lasting pain, it is better to suffer a short one. Break up sooner rather than later and be happy.
"Yoyo, everyone has their own helplessness and involuntary behavior, and they also have the right to autonomy." Xiao Huayong gently smoothed Shen Xihe's hair that was scattered on her shoulders. "This is a matter between them, so it's up to them to decide. Whether they are destined to be together or can continue their previous relationship depends on their luck."
As Shen Xihe said, every choice must be made with the willingness to accept the ups and downs that it brings.
Shen Xihe nodded slightly and said, "Since Ah Lin will be returning to Southern Shu soon, her marriage with Madam Xiao..."
"The plan remains unchanged." Xiao Huayong also thought about it carefully. "There is no news about the Shunan King's affairs, but the second brother is obviously watching covetously from the side. If the concubine takes action, His Majesty will definitely become suspicious. Marriage is the best way."
"It is better to inform the president and princess about this matter." Shen Xihe reminded.
Xiao Huayong smiled: "Okay."
Shen Xihe is a person who cares a lot about her subordinates or followers, not only her own people, but also Xiao Huayong's people. If she becomes the superior, it will be a blessing for the common people.
Xiao Changmin was also affected by the rumors spread by Bu Shulin. He once suspected that Bu Shulin was trying to cover up his crime, but the more he felt that there was something fishy, the more he looked forward to the wedding day, when he could expose Bu Shulin's daughter in front of everyone.
Bu Shulin didn't take the speculations from the outside world to heart. She did this not to clarify herself, but just to pave the way for a decisive battle with Cui Jinbai. Cui Jinbai didn't wake up for three consecutive days, and Bu Shulin would talk to him for an hour every day.
Today is the fourth day.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will blame you for being unfaithful? Are you afraid that I will abandon you because of this? That's why you are so reluctant to wake up?" Bu Shulin felt quite powerless and frustrated. "Don't worry, I won't care about these things, and I won't blame you for them..."
Another hour passed and Bu Shulin got up and left. She had to start making arrangements for her departure and also spend a lot of time training the substitute that Shen Xihe sent her. It was not easy for her to spare an hour to be with Cui Jinbai.
She returned to the newly tidied bedroom and hurriedly taught the substitute a lesson, making sure to train her small habits of words and actions. After an incense stick of time, Yinshan ran over and said, "Prince, Cui Shaoqing is awake!"
Bu Shulin felt relieved. She quickly rushed to the door, stepped one foot over the threshold but stopped. After hesitating for a moment, she moved her foot back and turned to her stand-in and said, "You go."
