The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 387 - 383: Good News

Eventually, the matter escalated to Shuntian Prefecture.

Thunderstorms raged over the Capital City, for liars were to be taught by the thunder.

A bolt of clear sky thunder startled the entire population of the Capital City, which made everyone aware of another grave injustice, and they rushed to spectate the excitement.

After being struck severely inside and out, Feng Jingzhong and the old Feng dared not tell a lie and confessed everything.

So, when the two were being punished by caning, they were astonished to see a massive crowd blocking the entrance to the Governor’s Office.

What was with the people of the Capital City? Didn’t any of them have work to do?

Feng Jingzhong suffered as though he were barely alive, and the whole Capital City knew he was an eunuch now.

Among the crowd, a man in a jade-colored brocade robe had his eyes fixed firmly on Zhang Rui, filled with deep compassion.

The divorce papers were signed on the spot, settling the matter entirely.

Ruo Xuan took Zhang Rui’s arm and left.

The members of the Zhang Family led the way for the two.

Bystanders showed sympathetic looks towards Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui lowered her head.

She knew such looks would not be scarce in the future, perhaps even accompanying her for life!

Enduring these gazes was not a big deal for her, but she feared that her family would be saddened, and they too would have to bear the negative impact she brought upon them.

Zhang Rui resolved that she would rarely leave her boudoir in the future, to prevent her family from being pointed at by others.

Ruo Xuan smiled and said, "Big cousin, look, how beautiful are the clouds today? Spring is a season filled with hope; we should lift our heads to embrace the hope of spring. Besides, you haven’t done anything wrong. You are now free from suffering."

On hearing this, Zhang Rui’s heart stuttered. Right, she hadn’t done anything wrong! Why should she act as though she had made a mistake?

She shouldn’t make her family worry or let others look down on herself, or even on her family!

One must first respect oneself before others will respect them!

Thus, she lifted her head again, and then she met a pair of eyes filled with concern.

Zhang Rui’s heart shivered; she instinctively lowered her gaze to avoid his line of sight and hurried out with Ruo Xuan without daring to look around any further.

Gu Qian watched her retreating figure for a long time without shifting his gaze.

Ruo Xuan turned her head and gave him a slight smile.

The weather was indeed pleasant, in the prime of spring!

Her cousin’s destined relationship was about to start!

After leaving Shuntian Prefecture, Ruo Xuan separated from Zhang Rui and climbed into the carriage that had been waiting outside for a long time.

Xuanyuan Que was inside the carriage reading a book, and as Ruo Xuan got into the carriage, he lifted his hand over her head as a protective gesture.

Ruo Xuan sat beside Xuanyuan Que and took his arm, "Brother Xuanyuan, why didn’t you return to the palace first?" freewebnøvel.com

He had grown tired of correcting her habitual address for him.

"Waiting for you," Xuanyuan Que pinched his fingers to perform an Immortal Technique, cleansing her body of the mixed auras of others.

Ruo Xuan smiled, resting her head on his arm, "I’ll sleep and cultivate for a bit, my spiritual power is all used up."

Xuanyuan Que hummed softly in response.

He too began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Soon, the spiritual energy in the surroundings started to gather around them, intertwining before entering their bodies.

Ruo Xuan’s features softened, and ever since she started being with Divine Lord Xuanyuan, the small pond in her Dantian was quickly becoming full!

At night, after they completed their dual cultivation, Ruo Xuan, unlike usual, did not fall asleep. She laid on Xuanyuan Que and asked, "Brother Xuanyuan, don’t you want to have children?"

Divine Lord Xuanyuan always used his spiritual power to prevent it, so they would not have children that way.

Xuanyuan Que squeezed her hand, "Not now, do you want to?"

It wasn’t impossible if she wanted.

Ruo Xuan candidly replied, "I don’t have a preference, I’m just curious why you don’t want to."

She was indifferent!

Either way, it would be her and Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s child, and it would be best if the child resembled Divine Lord Xuanyuan—it surely would be impressive!

If not, she would be free and relaxed. Raising a child seemed quite troublesome, although she could leave it to Divine Lord Xuanyuan to handle.

Divine Lord Xuanyuan was more capable than her; he would surely do a better job of raising the child. When she was in a good mood, she would just play with the child a bit.

Xuanyuan Que then said, "The child born now will have a mortal body and even though it can cultivate, its innate environment is insufficient, so its talents will inevitably be inferior to ours. If we have the opportunity to ascend in the future, he/she will have to stay behind in the human world alone for a while."

He was worried that she would miss the child too much.

Ruo Xuan understood that if they had a child later, it would be a Fairy Child.

Of course, it would be better to have a Fairy Child!

Fairy Children are so rare!

Ruo Xuan was a flower, from gaining Spiritual Wisdom to cultivating into a human form, just one step away from ascending to immortality. She knew how difficult it was.

"Then let’s have a child later!"

Xuanyuan Que, "It’s also possible that we might not ascend in this lifetime and enter into reincarnation."

"That’s okay! If we reincarnate a few more times, won’t we be able to ascend?"

It wasn’t as simple as she thought; memory would be lost in reincarnation, and whether they could regain their Cultivation Base was uncertain. But he was thinking of a way to retain their Cultivation Base, so everything was unknown and there was no need to talk more about it.

If there were problems, he would figure out a way to solve them.

"In the mortal world, having children to pass on the family line is considered of utmost importance among couples. If we don’t have children, your parents and grandmother will worry," Xuanyuan Que reminded her as he knew how much she valued her family in this life.

Ruo Xuan was aware of that. She had seen many young couples pressured to have children.

Not only having children, but they must also specifically produce a son; having only daughters wasn’t enough.

If she never had children in her life, would her parents and grandma worry?

"What should we do?" Ruo Xuan frowned, as she didn’t want her parents and grandma to worry either.

"Do what you want to do. Not everything in the world is absolute; there is always a solution."

Ruo Xuan understood that even if they could ascend in the future, Divine Lord Xuanyuan would find a way to bring their child along, he just hadn’t found a solution yet.

In the plant kingdom, raising children is about letting them grow wild; the wind carries them around, they bounce around by themselves, the lucky seeds fall near the mother, the unlucky ones get eaten by animals and are carried far away from the mother.

No matter whether they are near or far from the mother, they are left to survive or perish on their own; only a few plants are raised by the mother plant.

So Ruo Xuan wasn’t worried at all about leaving children in the human world, nor did she feel that having children was so important. Even though she wanted to have a Fairy Child, it wasn’t something she could just decide to have since Fairy Children were extremely rare. So she said, "Then let’s leave it to fate!"

"Alright, let’s sleep,"

Ruo Xuan then closed her eyes to sleep.

Xuanyuan Que also started to cultivate.

The result of leaving it to fate was that a month later, Ruo Xuan was expecting!

Xuanyuan Que looked at the gold and red twin lives inside Ruo Xuan’s stomach and felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Wouldn’t ascending in the future mean dragging along three?

The difficulty was escalating.

But the seeds he had sown, no matter how challenging, had to be taken along.

Ruo Xuan immediately shared the happy news with the Empress Dowager, who was overjoyed, "Xuanbao, why don’t you and Xiaojiu stay in the palace? Don’t move out. Here, your royal grandmother can take care of you."

The Emperor nodded, "That’s right, whatever you wish to eat, the Imperial Kitchen also has Imperial Chefs who are experts in various regional cuisines to cook for you."

Originally, the couple had planned to move out of the palace after a month of marriage. Now, the Empress Dowager didn’t want them to leave.

Ruo Xuan shook her head, "I want to leave the palace."

While living in the palace made her access easy, it was not the same for others who wished to visit her.

The Imperial Palace wasn’t a place to enter and leave at will.

Naturally, the Empress Dowager listened to Ruo Xuan, so she also decided to move to Prince Xiaojiu’s mansion, taking along a few Imperial Chefs.

The Emperor: "..."
