Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

Su Mubai held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, it's all my fault."

"I will definitely treat you well in the future and will never let you down in this life."

After Zhao Linglong calmed down, she said with a worried look on her face: "Brother Mu Bai, I am already very satisfied with what you said."

"But I can't marry you."

"I am no longer a princess. I am just a commoner."

"My status is not worthy of you."

"If you become the top scholar, your marriage will be out of your control. The emperor will probably grant you a marriage with a princess."

"What will you choose then, to disobey the order or to marry the princess?"

"I don't want to see you in trouble because of me."

"I no longer dare to dream of becoming your wife..."

As long as I can be with you, I am willing to be your concubine.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the ringing of a bell in the yard.

"I'll go to the courtyard and see if Lin Shuangshuang has finished refining the blood pill."

Zhao Linglong hurriedly ran to the yard and saw Dong'er on the second floor next door pulling a rope to lower a basket.

"Miss Zhao, there are three blood pills and a bottle of ointment in the basket."

"Take one blood pill a day and apply the ointment three times a day. Master Su will probably be cured in three days."

Zhao Linglong was so excited that she nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, thank Lin Shuangshuang for me. I will remember her kindness."

Zhao Linglong bent down to pick up the ointment and prepared to run back into the house, but Dong'er called out from upstairs, "Miss Zhao."

"Hmm?" Zhao Linglong stopped, turned around and looked up at the small figure on the second floor.

As she watched, Dong'er threw a small ball of paper at her feet.

"What's this?

Before Zhao Linglong could ask, Dong'er immediately made a shushing gesture and Zhao Linglong immediately shut up.

She bent down to pick up the small piece of paper at her feet and looked at the contents on it. She gave Dong'er a strange look. Was this what Lin Shuangshuang meant?

Reject Su Mubai’s confession?

Things that are too easy to get will not be cherished?

Learn to keep people simmering?

Is Lin Shuangshuang teaching her to play hard to get?

Thinking of this, she nodded at Dong'er, then went to the kitchen and threw the note into the stove and burned it to ashes.

"Brother Mu Bai, the blood pill is ready. Lin Shuangshuang said that your illness will be cured in three days."

“We’ve finally made it.”

Zhao Linglong looked at him excitedly, but Su Mubai didn't care when he would get better. He cared more about what Zhao Linglong had just said.

"Linglong, what you just said really reminded me that I was not thoughtful enough."

"I only thought about marrying you in grand style after I became the top scholar, but I forgot that the emperor had granted the marriage."

"In that case, let's get married as soon as possible. The number one scholar is just the icing on the cake, adding to the happiness."

"If the title of No. 1 scholar will become a stumbling block on our road to marriage, then it's better not to have this icing on the cake."

Zhao Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly spoke up to stop him: "Brother Mu Bai, how can you joke about your own future?"

Su Mubai knew she had misunderstood when he saw her nervousness.

"I'm not saying I won't take the imperial examination, but I'm saying I'll marry you before I take the imperial examination."

"The emperor can't force me to divorce my wife and marry another. Even the emperor can't do such an immoral thing."

"If this matter gets out, His Majesty's wisdom will be in jeopardy."

Su Mubai held Zhao Linglong's hand and said affectionately: "Linglong, I will marry you when I get better."

"I just want you to marry me again in this small mountain village."

"But I promise that I will make it up to you in the future and make you the woman that the whole world envies."

"Linglong, promise me, okay?"

Zhao Linglong's face was in tears and her heart was pounding. She wanted to agree, she wanted to agree madly.

She was already very satisfied that Su Mubai could do this for her.

If it weren't for Lin Shuangshuang's note, she would have agreed without hesitation.

But... she was hesitant and conflicted now. Should she follow her heart and agree to her, or obey Lin Shuangshuang's arrangements?

Could this be Lin Shuangshuang’s evil plot?

Or did Lin Shuangshuang predict that Su Mubai would confess his feelings today, so she gave her advice in advance?

Thinking of Lin Shuangshuang's beautiful eyes without any calculation, and thinking about it carefully, it seems that Lin Shuangshuang has never done anything bad, and has never actively harmed anyone.

After much hesitation, Zhao Linglong decided to listen to Lin Shuangshuang and resolutely rejected Su Mubai's proposal.

Su Mubai looked at Zhao Linglong who was just crying with her head down but didn't answer him, thinking that she was stupid with joy and crazy with excitement.

He was very satisfied with her reaction and couldn't help pinching her tear-stained face: "Why, are you so happy that you're stupid?"

"Silly girl, have you been looking forward to this day for a long time?"

Zhao Linglong looked at him jokingly with a hint of pride in his expression, as if he was certain that she would agree.

Suddenly, she felt a little uncomfortable.

The words on the note suddenly popped up in my mind: Things that are too easy to get will not be cherished.

It seems that Lin Shuangshuang had calculated it correctly again!

She also grew up in luxury, so she naturally understood this principle.

Just like the jade pendant her cousin had when she was a child, the empress dowager gave her and the princess a jade pendant each.

The only difference is that what was awarded to her was pure white mutton-fat jade, while what was awarded to the princess was a piece of emerald jade.

The two pieces of jade are of the same value, but she thinks the princess's piece and the jadeite are better.

She cried and made a fuss, asking to exchange with her cousin, but her cousin refused to do so and she refused to give in.

In the end, she fell seriously ill, and her cousin had no choice but to give her the jadeite.

From then on, the hard-earned jade pendant became her favorite and she carried it with her wherever she went.

It was not until she was demoted to a commoner and no longer worthy of wearing royal items that she was taken away from the palace.

As for the equally valuable piece of mutton-fat jade, she had long forgotten it and it was gathering dust in a corner. She was afraid that she would not be able to find it even if she went looking for it now.

If it weren't for today's incident, which reminded her of her childhood, she would have long forgotten that she once owned a piece of top-grade mutton-fat jade.

Now she is the piece of mutton-fat jade that is within reach, and Lin Shuangshuang is the piece of emerald jade that is elusive.

Lin Shuangshuang was teaching her how to turn into the much-desired jadeite.

Even if she agreed to marry Su Mubai now, if he didn't cherish her, he could divorce her once or twice.

This was not the result she wanted. What she wanted was for Su Mubai to truly love and respect her and never leave her for the rest of his life.

Seeing that she was still silent, Su Mubai wanted to tease her. He stretched out his hand and lifted the woman's chin: "If you don't agree, I will change my mind."

In the past, he only treated Zhao Linglong as a sister and had no romantic feelings for her at all.

The two got married while he was in a coma, and the marriage consummation after he woke up was not what he wanted.

But it’s different now. He has developed romantic feelings for Zhao Linglong, so naturally his eyes and feelings towards her are different.

Even the teasing nowadays tends to be more like flirting between men and women.

Looking at her tearful face, he couldn't help but want to tease her, want to see her anxious, want to see her shy, want to see her lively and lively as before.
