The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

Time came quickly to three days later.

This day was the day when the Shenwei Marquis Mansion and the Zhou Mansion discussed the engagement matters.

It doesn't mean that today is the engagement day. Engagement requires the man to propose marriage and go to the woman's family to propose.

As the initiator of this marriage, the Zhou family, led by Si Xue, brought Zhou Qingyu to the Marquis' Mansion to discuss the engagement date and other matters.

And let Zhou Qingyu and Su An, the two married people, get familiar with and adapt to each other's new identities more quickly.

Moreover, Si Xue's visit was not public, but a private one.

The two families will announce Su An and Zhou Qingyu's marriage to the public shortly before the formal engagement.

Amid the sounds of horses and carriages, the Zhou Mansion's carriage was driving on Xuanwu Avenue.

Si Xue and Zhou Qingyu were sitting in the carriage. Both mother and daughter had delicate faces and gentle temperaments. Their eyebrows and eyes were about the same, and at first glance they might be mistaken for a pair of sisters.

The difference is that Si Xue has a mature charm, while Zhou Qingyu is much more immature.

Si Xue sat dignifiedly, holding the teacup and sipping tea calmly.

Zhou Qingyu held her cheek, seeming to be thinking about something, her pretty face was sometimes shy, sometimes sweet, sometimes nervous, and sometimes worried.

"Qingyu, what are you thinking about?" Si Xue put down the teacup and gently put her arm around her daughter's shoulders.

Zhou Qingyu told Si Xue about the conversation between Su An and her in the attic that day.

"Su An doesn't seem to care much about marrying me. He probably married me just following Marquis Shenwei's orders. He has always been indifferent and doesn't have any feelings for me." Zhou Qingyu had a complicated expression.

Si Xue hesitated for a moment and said,

"Xiao An is different from you. After all, he has been married before, so he has experience in many things."

"I'm not as shy as you, so shy that I can't even understand what you're saying." Si Xue teased.

"Mom~" Zhou Qingyu thought of her reaction that day and said with shame and anger.

On second thought, I felt very depressed again.

Yes, Su An and Sima Yue were married before, and they had a very good relationship at that time.

How deeply Su An loves Sima Yue is known to all the powerful people in the capital.

But later on, for unknown reasons, they broke up and Su An divorced Sima Yue.

"Qingyu, you said Xiaoan doesn't have any feelings for you."

"But you have to think about it, how long have you known each other?" Si Xue said softly.

"He did that to you before. If he hadn't saved you in a critical moment, how could you have fallen in love with him?"

"So Xiao An doesn't have deep feelings for you. This is normal. At least, they are not as deep as Sima Yue's at that time."

After Si Xue said this, Zhou Qingyu became even more depressed.

Si Xue looked at her reaction, smiled, and continued speaking softly.

"However, Su An once loved Sima Yue so much, but in the end he divorced her mercilessly. Why?"

"I heard that when Sima Yue was the Crown Prince's Consort, she had conflicts with Su Wan, and then she probably did something that Xiao An couldn't tolerate."

"So Xiao An showed no mercy and chose to divorce his wife instead of amicably."

"That's what I want to tell you. Even if you love each other before marriage, there is no guarantee that you will continue to love each other after marriage."

“No matter how deep the love is, it will gradually fade away under the influence of many factors.”

"Just like Sima Yue, Xiao An divorced his wife. It was not because of one incident, but because the conflict between the two of them kept deepening with each incident day by day."

"Xiao An will not choose to divorce his wife until he is completely disappointed with Sima Yue," Si Xue explained.

"My Qingyu is different. Our Zhou Mansion is more distinguished than the Ru'nan Palace. Your talent is not comparable to Sima Yue's. Moreover, you are a legitimate daughter and she is a concubine's daughter."

"Besides, you have a gentle and virtuous character. You will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future."

"These are the reasons why you are better than Sima Yue."

"With these factors, your marriage is strong enough to stay stable."

"In comparison, Sima Yue only had Su An's love and nothing else, so the two of them parted ways in the end."

After Si Xue said this, Zhou Qingyu felt a lot more relieved.

But she still hoped that Su An would like her. After all, a girl of her age always had a sacred yearning for love.

Si Xue seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled, "Relationships can be cultivated. In the future, even for the sake of the Zhou family, Xiao An will treat you well."

"What's more, my Qingyu is so outstanding, and she will be Xiao An's future wife. As you get along with her in the future, why wouldn't Xiao An slowly fall in love with you?"

"This kind of emotion that is slowly cultivated in daily trivialities is the most solid and the most enduring."

Mother is right.

Zhou Qingyu is still somewhat confident in many aspects of herself. She is better than Sima Yue and more qualified for the position of Crown Prince's Consort.

In her mind, Su An is a gentle gentleman who would definitely not do such a thing as abandoning someone or having affairs with other women.

Su An will be good to her, and his feelings for her will gradually grow.

"Also, let me tell you that you like him. You should be brave enough to say it out loud and let him know your love for him."

"At first, I was the one who fell in love with your father. Then I often invited him to the Sutra Library to read books together and to the dining hall to eat together. Gradually, he got used to being with me every day, and your father and I naturally became a good friend."

Si Xue talked about her experiences with Academician Zhou in their youth.

Zhou Qingyu nodded. Her parents had told her about this relationship experience.

"Qingyu, you must remember that if a man pursues a woman, she will be as close as a mountain, but if a woman pursues a man, she will be as close as a veil."

"Mom, I understand."

After listening to Si Xue's story, Zhou Qingyu was no longer worried about gains and losses, but her pretty face was excited and she said seriously.

"I'll tell him I like him."

At this moment, the image of Wang Shishi with a beautiful smile suddenly appeared in Zhou Qingyu's mind.

A feeling of guilt came over me.

I'm sorry, Shishi, I can't refuse this marriage.

Since I can't refuse, Su An is destined to be my future husband, so I can only take the initiative to pursue my love.
