Chapter 341 You still can't forget him?
Si Muyan was stunned.
In an environment like Kyoto, if a woman has no children, it's all her fault; even if she has children but no sons, it's still her fault.
People like Madam Yu, who are convinced that her son is the problem, are extremely rare.
But she simply couldn't accept this reason for asking her younger sister to marry her.
Princess Rou Shu noticed her hesitation and said, "Of course, my aunt did not marry the Second Miss because she thought she was good at bearing children. She admired her greatly because she heard that the Second Miss had helped Prince Ning with a case last time and was bold and meticulous. Considering the Second Miss's situation, if my second cousin really couldn't have children, they could have Xiao Xia'er as a companion."
Si Muyan couldn't help but sigh. She had also heard some rumors about her second sister's assistance in the case.
Some people think that the second sister's public appearances, regardless of her own safety, are not befitting of a well-bred young lady. Others, however, admire her decisiveness and fortitude, and her efforts to save her brother and uncover the truth.
It was quite obvious that this Mrs. Yu admired her second sister.
Princess Roushu smiled and said, "You may not know, but your second sister is now the darling of many ladies. They think she is very lucky and are vying to marry her. She is much more popular than you and your third sister."
The young woman's lips twitched; she felt these ladies were truly extraordinary.
Princess Roushu added, "My aunt was worried that since she has no dealings with your family, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to bring it up rashly. She was afraid that someone else would beat her to it, so she asked me to inquire."
Si Muyan smiled and said, "Although I am the eldest sister, it is not appropriate for me to make decisions for her in such matters. Moreover, my second sister has not yet recovered from her grief over her deceased husband and has no plans to remarry for the time being, so it is not appropriate to give Madam Yu any hope."
Princess Roushu waved her hand dismissively: "I was just mentioning it casually. If you are willing to consider it, that would be great. There is no need to refuse like this. I was thinking that we could go see the lanterns together tomorrow and let them meet. If the second young lady still refuses after meeting my cousin, I will definitely persuade my aunt not to make this plan."
Si Muyan hesitated, after all, she needed Princess Roushu's help, and it wasn't appropriate for her to make a decision for her second sister, so she simply said, "Then I'll go back and ask my second sister first."
After returning home, I learned that my second sister had come back and was staying with Xiaoxia.
The younger sister laughed and said, "Second sister is so busy every day, how can she have time to watch over Xiaoxia all the time? Today is strange."
Si Muyan asked her younger sister to take Xiaoxia to play, while she pulled her second sister aside and told her everything that Princess Roushu had said that day: "I have delivered the message. Whether you are willing or not is up to you. Second sister, just do what you think is right. You don't need to worry about my relationship with Princess Roushu. If you are not happy, you can refuse."
However, the second sister looked listless and neither said she would accept the invitation nor refused.
After a long while, she finally spoke of what Princess He Ji had said earlier that day, and she was quite surprised.
"I don't understand. There are two unmarried girls in the family, you and your younger sister. If they want to marry, shouldn't they ask for your hand first?"
Si Muyan smiled and rubbed her face: "My second sister is so beautiful and of noble character, she should be sought after by many families."
However, the second sister did not respond, her head hanging low, her mind preoccupied.
Si Muyan asked doubtfully, "If you're not willing, it's fine to refuse them all. If you have other ideas, that's also possible. We can take a look at more options, and if we find something suitable..."
The second sister raised her head, her eyes completely red, and choked out, "Eldest sister, I... saw Prince Ning today."
Si Muyan sighed softly: "You still can't forget him."
“I’m heartbroken, but I also understand that he… has already moved on with his life, and I shouldn’t bother him. Sister, I’m so upset, I think… maybe I should move on with my life too.”
Si Muyan quickly said, "Second sister, you must remember, never make any decisions lightly for the sake of others!"
Just as the second sister was about to speak, the youngest sister came in from outside the door and said loudly.
"Second sister, haven't you ever thought about what you would do if His Highness Prince Ning regained his memories one day?"
It turned out that Xiaoxia was going to find Aunt Jin, so the younger sister asked Yumeng to take her there, while she went back to find her two older sisters.
The second sister had thought about this issue long ago, and now that it's brought up, her expression isn't very serious; she simply says...
“Everyone should look forward and move on, shouldn’t they? Whether Prince Ning recovers his memory or not, it makes no difference to me. I have no reason to keep waiting for him in the same place.”
The younger sister hesitated. She felt that the biggest problem her second sister faced in liking Prince Ning was that Prince Ning had forgotten her and had another fiancée.
But she never thought that, even though her second sister was deeply in love with Prince Ning, she never thought of being with Prince Ning again.
It wasn't because of Zhao Ning, nor because Prince Ning was already engaged, but because she wouldn't wait for someone in the same place.
The younger sister was initially confused, but then she remembered Xu Feng—now Zhou Feng—who she had seen on the street that day. She recalled how, back in Fenghuang County, she had been willing to die for Xu Feng, but what happened afterward?
Later, she came to a realization.
Even when she saw Xu Feng's affection for her that day, she felt nothing.
This applies to all people and things in the world; no one will stand still forever, waiting for someone else.
The second sister said, "You don't need to worry about me. I may be sad, but I've always been clear about what I should do."
Si Muyan patted her hand: "I'm so happy that you think this way."
Gui family.
Gui Shan was in a good mood after receiving the Crown Prince's invitation. She said to her mother and sister, "Tomorrow, His Highness the Crown Prince has invited my sister and me to see the lanterns."
Gui Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "We're going to see the lanterns tomorrow? Shouldn't His Highness invite Miss Zuo?"
"I don't know why either." Gui Shan handed the invitation to Gui Yuan.
Lady Gui was very happy: "This shows that His Highness the Crown Prince values you highly. You must perform well tomorrow and not make any mistakes."
"Yes, mother."
The mother and her two daughters talked for a while, and Gui Shan noticed that Gui Yuan was acting strangely. She asked, "What's wrong, little sister? Is something on your mind?"
Gui Yuan snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "No, I didn't..."
She refused to say, and Guishan had no choice but to stop asking.
Once her two daughters returned to their own courtyard, Madam Gui immediately summoned her personal maid.
"Go to the Feng family and tell the Third Young Madam that our two young ladies have agreed to go see the lanterns tomorrow at the invitation of His Highness the Crown Prince."
When the Feng family learned of this, the Crown Prince's wife was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to summon Feng Zizhou.
Because Guiyuan had to accompany her sister to the Crown Prince's appointment, she did not allow Feng Zizhou to make an appointment with Guiyuan.
He simply said, "Zizhou, there's a lantern festival tomorrow, why don't you go and have some fun?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Zizhou perked up: "Great! I'll go find Zhao Ning."
