Chapter 209 Love and Death, Either Choice is Okay
Shen Shuangxing leaned against a tree and watched the busy scene in the kitchen, thinking to herself, "Little sweetheart, I'm tempted to persuade Yue'er to stay."
System: [Sister Xingxing, are you willing to give it up?]
[I'm really reluctant to let her go, but if Yue'er chooses to stay, I will bless her.]
"Sister Xingxing, I can imagine that if Yue'er heard you say this, she would look at you with tears in her eyes and accuse you: 'Sister, do you find me annoying?' Alas, our feelings have finally faded. The intimate words and affection we used to have are now like smoke, dispersing in the blink of an eye. I can't hold on to them!"
Shen Shuangxing was at a loss for words. [This isn't Yue'er, it's Yu'er.]
[Don't tell me, don't tell me, if you don't believe me, just ask.]
Shen Shuangxing: […Let’s just forget it.]
She stood there and looked at Yue'er for a while before returning to her room and changing into her pajamas. She didn't pretend to have just woken up until she heard Yue'er coming back.
Shen Shuangyue took out a bouquet of flowers from behind her, "Sister, good morning!"
"Good morning!" Shen Shuangxing took the flower in surprise, looked at the dewdrops hanging on it and asked, "Did you just pick it?"
"Hmm!" Shen Shuangyue raised the corner of her lips, "Finally, the flowers in that garden are useful."
Shen Shuangxing smiled, her eyes curved, and she put the flower to her nose and sniffed it for a while, then said, "Help me find a vase and scissors. I want to put the flowers in the vase, and where can I wash up?"
Shen Shuangyue shouted, "Get the flower arranging supplies and prepare some water for washing!"
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince immediately shouted, "Fifth Brother, I need water to wash! Xiaoying, I need something for flower arranging!"
After a while, there was a knock on the door. After Shuangyue agreed, the fifth prince came in with a washbasin. Murong Ying put the things needed for flower arrangement on the table.
The two men bowed to Shen Shuangxing and turned to leave.
Shen Shuangxing thought of the two characters in her works who "killed without blinking an eye" and "treated all things as ants", and she couldn't help but admire Yue'er for being able to tame people into servants.
But she also felt a little scared. Based on her understanding of these people, if Yue'er did not play the balancing act and showed weakness, it is very likely that the situation would be one of robbery and she would run away and he would chase her.
How could the dark-hearted Third Prince not have thought about what he couldn't get and no one else could get?
How could the Fifth Prince, who is so scheming and unquestionable in his strength, not have gained Frost Moon's confidence through calculations?
How could the paranoid Mo Linfeng not have the idea of imprisoning Yue'er and making her belong only to him?
It's just because these men are restraining each other, and whoever dares to take action will be eliminated.
Getting back to the topic, after Shen Shuangxing washed up and arranged the flowers, she followed Yue'er to the kitchen.
She saw the wontons on the table, her eyebrows curved, her eyes filled with surprise: "When did you get up to make them for me?"
Shen Shuangyue had a smug smile on her lips. "I only woke up half an hour earlier than my sister. I was so bored that I just got up and cooked a meal. The nine of us cooked together and it was done in no time."
"Then I have to try it quickly. I haven't had this for a long time!" Shen Shuangxing couldn't wait to sit on the chair, picked up the spoon and scooped one, then squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
Seeing her sister showing such support, Shen Shuangyue felt as if thousands of fireworks were blooming in her heart.
She also sat down, supporting her chin with her hands and watching her sister eat wontons.
very nice.
It turns out that dreams can really come true.
The men were also very excited, as this was the first time they had eaten food cooked by Shimotsuki!
but……
Why do these wontons taste exactly like those from Su’s Wonton Shop?
Even if Su Hanwan told Shuangyue the recipe, the taste would not be exactly the same without practice.
The eight people looked at each other, then put aside their thoughts and enjoyed the delicious food.
No matter what secrets Shuangyue has, they are not as important as this bowl of wontons.
After the meal, Shen Shuangyue took Shen Shuangxing to buy gifts for the male supporting actors, and took her sister to see the world she created.
Except for Mo Linqing who acted as the coachman and Murong Ying who dressed as a woman, the other male supporting characters gathered together with solemn expressions.
Mo Linfeng: "Have you seen Shuangyue's attitude towards Sister Shen? As long as Sister Shen is around, her mind is not on us at all."
Mo Linming lowered his head, looking lost: "It seems that we have no hope at all."
"Shuangyue once told me that love is letting go." A tear fell from the corner of the Sixth Prince's eye. "Perhaps it is time for us to let go."
"I won't let go! I will never let go!" The domineering fifth prince slammed the table and stood up.
Mo Linfeng also stood up angrily: "I can't let go! Shuangyue has to stay by my side!"
The Third Prince: "If anyone dares to disrespect Shuangyue, I will make sure you pay the price!"
Mo Linfeng glared at the Third Prince: "Are you willing to watch Shuangyue leave?"
"Shuangyue found my family for me, how could I let him be separated from them?" The third prince almost choked up at the end.
The Sixth Prince, a member of the family, hugged the Third Prince and cried silently.
The domineering Fifth Prince turned his face away and muttered to himself, "Is there really no other way?"
Mo Linming: "How can we win Sister Shen?"
At this time, the abstinent fifth prince returned from court. Looking at the unhappy crowd, he said silently, "All phenomena are like dreams and bubbles."
The domineering Fifth Prince raised his scarlet eyes and said, "Brother, I don't believe you aren't sad. Why do you always sacrifice yourself for others?"
"Any of you who don't do what Shuangyue wants, don't blame me for being ruthless." The abstinent fifth prince coldly gave this warning and turned to leave.
His departing figure was straight as a pine tree, his spine seemed to be made of steel, and no matter how hard the winds and rains hit him, it could not bend at all, revealing an innate dignity and coldness.
However, when he stepped into the quiet bedroom, his tense body relaxed instantly.
He was like a puppet with its strings cut, slumped helplessly against the bed.
His eyes, as deep as an ancient pond, revealed indescribable fatigue and loneliness.
Since he has made a promise to Shuangyue that he will fully support Su Hanwan as long as she shows her ambition to become emperor, he must now spare no effort to maneuver in the court and bring all forces under control.
But how could he not know that once Su Hanwan came to power, he would become a thorn in the eyes and flesh that the new emperor needed to remove.
Xiaoba’s words pierced his heart, but what could he do?
He couldn't help but help Shuangyue, so he could only use this almost sacrificial method to bet on Shuangyue's mercy.
He slowly raised his hand, covering his eyes, a bitter smile spreading across the corners of his mouth.
He thought, it doesn’t matter even if he loses, he has been the redundant one since birth.
Xiaoba would be better off without him.
He never told Xiaoba that after Xiaoba died for him in his second life, his father, the emperor, and his mother never cared about him.
It was just a show and he was used as a substitute for Xiaoba.
Therefore, there is really no need for him to exist!
Love and death, either choice is fine.
It’s a perfect ending.
