Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

Chu Heng stood in the magnificent court, the morning light shone through the carved window lattice, onto his resolute face, and gilded his unquestionable words with a layer of sacred glory. He spoke slowly, and every word was like a golden stone falling to the ground, resounding in the hearts of every minister: "The promise of the empress not only carries the fate of the country, but is also the arrangement of heaven, and the irresistible will of heaven and earth. If you have not personally set foot on the thorny journey, and have not tasted the bitterness of suffering and sacrifice, then do not easily persuade others to give up their perseverance and kindness."

His voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying an indescribable majesty and compassion, which moved all the ministers present. Their eyes were filled with awe, as well as helplessness and confusion that could not be concealed. Some bowed their heads in contemplation, as if trying to understand the deep meaning behind the agreement that transcended life and death; others shook their heads slightly, revealing their helplessness and lament for the current situation.

"I know that you are concerned about the country and are worried about state affairs, but things in the world are often beyond human control." Chu Heng's words revealed an unquestionable power. He walked down the steps slowly, his eyes sweeping across the faces of each minister. "The empress has won this precious peace and opportunity for us with her supreme wisdom and sacrifice. Her promise is the beacon for us to move forward, and it is the fire of hope that no wind or rain can extinguish."

As Chu Heng finished speaking, the hall fell into silence, with only the occasional bird calls from outside the window and the faint flickering of the candlelight in the hall echoing each other. The ministers looked at each other, and finally, an old minister slowly stood up. Although his voice was tired, it was very firm: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Although I am old, I am willing to contribute my last bit of strength to this agreement and this country."

Seeing this, the other ministers followed suit, some sighed, some stood firm, but all chose silence and concession. They knew that although Chu Heng's words were heavy, they were also a reality that could not be avoided. So, in a complex and heavy atmosphere, the ministers left the court one by one, leaving only Chu Heng, standing alone and firmly in the center of the empty hall, his eyes penetrating the heavy palace walls, as if he had seen the future road full of unknowns and challenges guided by the promise of the empress.

Xie Chaochao stood in the shadow of an ancient house, staring at the man beside him, Chu Heng, with a deep and complex gaze. His face was clearly outlined in the faint moonlight, and his eyes were shining with a light of determination and tenderness.

Her heartbeat was like a drum, resounding violently in her chest, and every beat seemed to question the most secret corner of her heart: Did I really take the right step this time? Revenge, the thought that had been hovering in her mind for a long time, has now become a reality, like a sharp blade, cutting the already fragile bond between her and her parents.

Chu Heng seemed to sense her inner struggle and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. The warmth penetrated through the thin fabric, and was strong and warm. "Chao Chao, your decision is right." His voice was deep and powerful, and every word sounded like a well-thought-out affirmation, striking deep into her heart.

He continued, "They never really understood you, let alone gave you the love and respect you deserve. All you did was take back what was supposed to belong to you and teach them a profound lesson using the way they are best at - power and status. This is not selfishness, but self-salvation, and a rebellion against those ruthless years."

Xie Chaochao's eyes were slightly red, but a bitter but relieved smile appeared on her lips. She looked up at the starry sky, as if she could find a trace of comfort in the vast universe. "Yes, I have asked myself countless times in the middle of the night whether this choice will make me fall into deeper darkness. But every time I think of those days and nights of being ignored and hurt, I know that I can't keep silent any longer."

Chu Heng held her hand tightly, and the two of them leaned against each other in the night, as if they were the only harbor where they could rely on each other in this world full of calculations and betrayals. "Don't blame yourself, Chao Chao. You are just protecting yourself and looking for your own light. The road ahead may still be bumpy, but with me here, you will never be alone."

The breeze blew gently, bringing a barely perceptible chill, but it could not blow away the warm persistence in Xie Chaochao's heart. She snuggled tightly against Chu Heng's chest, her eyes that usually shone with tenacity now filled with gratitude and dependence. Her arms wrapped around him, as if the whole world was condensed in this small embrace, and all the anxiety and loneliness found a home at this moment.

"Chu Heng, thank you. It is my greatest luck to have you by my side on this long and difficult road." Xie Chaochao's voice was gentle and firm, and every word was like a carefully carved pearl, falling into Chu Heng's heart, stirring up layers of gentle ripples. Her eyes were slightly red, not because of grievance, but because of being moved - in this complex and changing world, it is so rare to have someone who stands by your side so firmly.

Chu Heng lowered his head, his deep eyes full of tenderness and determination. He hugged her tightly, as if to pass on all his strength and warmth to her. "Chao Chao, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. I understand your value. Even if the whole world doesn't understand you, I will be your strongest support and will never leave you." His voice was low and magnetic, and every word sounded like a promise, as heavy as a thousand pounds, instantly filling Xie Chao Chao's heart with warmth and strength.

Everything around them seemed to be quiet, only the sound of their heartbeats intertwined together, becoming the most beautiful melody of the night. They were like two boats in the vast sea of ​​people. Although they faced wind and waves and misunderstandings, their tightly held hands gave them the courage to ride the wind and waves.

The night wind continued to blow, carrying a subtle scent of flowers, as if nature was also crowning this deep affection. Xie Chaochao looked up at Chu Heng, with an unprecedented light in her eyes, which was the expectation for the future and the infinite trust in this relationship. She knew that as long as they were together, nothing was impossible.

The emotional entanglement between Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng was like the fine spider silk in spring, subtle and indescribable. Their embrace was as if two hearts had found resonance with each other in a silent exchange. The warmth and closeness comforted both of them, and their hearts were satisfied as never before at this moment.
