Chapter 498: Marriage is the happiest when love exists.

Chapter 498

"A person can't dedicate their whole life to a bit of longing in their heart. Even if you get married, you can still live in Xiling Village and be able to walk around with Mo Family often, hearing about the news of Princess Si getting her revenge at the first moment," He Zhiran said.

Lan Er was more and more puzzled.

"Noble Consort, even if Lan Er lives in Xiling Village, she won't marry." She didn't look down on the peasant men in Xiling Village, she just simply didn't want to marry, and the longing in her heart didn't allow it either.

He Zhiran was really surprised that she had never seen such a stubborn person before.

"What's wrong with getting married? Look at me, my husband dotes on me, my in-laws rely on me, and I can also have two lovely babies.

You are an outstanding woman. I think outstanding women should have all this."

"Noble Consort's blessings are not something everyone can expect. Lan Er doesn't dare to extravagantly hope for these."

While He Zhiran was talking, she kept observing Lan Er's changes in expression. She could see a momentary bright light in her eyes, which showed that deep down she yearned for this kind of life.

"Although you used to have the status of a maid, I can see it very clearly that your temperament and etiquette are no worse than those prestigious ladies in the capital city. The villagers here in Xiling Village definitely don't match you."

After thinking about it, He Zhiran felt that the previous preamble was adequate enough and there was no need to beat around the bush anymore.

"My eldest brother He Ziming has been with my father to be personally taught by him since he was young. Not only are his literary talents outstanding, his appearance is also remarkable. Today when I talked with him, I knew that he doesn't like the deceitful ways of the court."

"Noble Consort, did you say Master He doesn't want to go back to the capital city?" Lan Er widened her eyes and looked at He Zhiran, full of disbelief.

Just now when she refused to get married, it was partly because of her previous promise, and also because of He Ziming.

She had to admit that her whole heart and eyes were full of Master He now, it was just that she knew more clearly that her status simply didn't match his.

Especially since she still had the promise to Princess Si first, she just wanted to hide this feeling in her heart to let time slowly help her digest it.

But now, why did Noble Consort mention Master He to her, could it be...?

From Lan Er's expression, He Zhiran could be completely certain of her thoughts.

After Lan Er went out, Mo Jiuye closed the door. He Zhiran took the initiative to tell Mo Jiuye what happened earlier.

Mo Jiuye was also an aristocrat in the capital city before, so he must have his own subjective opinion on this kind of marriage with unequal status. He Zhiran told him carefully because she wanted to hear his thoughts.

"Husband, tell me the truth. If you fall in love with a girl whose status has a huge disparity from yours, what would you do?"

Mo Jiuye had never thought about something like this before. When he was a teenager, his family had already engaged him to He Zhiran. Besides, after all these years away from home, he had never met a girl he admired either.

However, since his wife asked, he still thought about it carefully before answering.

"Before marrying you, I had never had feelings for any other girl. In my mindset, marriage was completely up to my elders to decide. I also believed in my parents' judgement, and the facts verified this point too. Marrying you is the biggest blessing in my life.

Also, through interacting with you more and more, I like you even more now. I can even devote my life for your sake."

Although the couple had always been affectionate with each other and He Zhiran also knew that she had a place in Mo Jiuye's heart, it was still the first time for him to say such things openly between them. Not only Mo Jiuye, even He Zhiran the listener couldn't help blushing.

"Husband, I'm asking your opinion on this matter, not asking you to talk about our feelings."

Mo Jiuye went forward to embrace He Zhiran in his arms and lovingly planted a kiss on her forehead.

"It's because I don't know what other people think. I only know that a marriage with love existing, regardless of rich or poor origins, or whether the families match, is the happiest kind."

Although he didn't answer the question directly, He Zhiran had already found the answer she wanted from it.

But she still wanted to hear Mo Jiuye say it from his own mouth.

"What if I wasn't the daughter of the Minister of Revenue's family and was just an ordinary commoner or even a maid, but happened to also fall in love with you, what would you do?"

When it came to love, Mo Jiuye was absolutely single-minded. In the past when he didn't understand the taste of love, perhaps this question would have been hard to answer, but it was different now. He now loved He Zhiran to the bone.

"If it really was like this, I would tell my mother that I want to marry you. No matter what your status is, you are the person I, Mo Jiuye, want to spend my life with."

"What if your mother didn't agree then what?" He Zhiran became more and more interested in this topic and asked persistently.

"You understand my mother's character too. Although she was more stern when she was in the capital city, she is also very reasonable and understanding. For any girl I come to like, as long as she has good moral character and disposition, my mother would not oppose."
