Chapter 89: The Long journey to Ningzhuo 5 (2/2)

Xia Ying nodded, ”Good, get me a change of clothes. Chen Su will be here soon, I need to get dressed before she gets here”

”Yes”

******

As She predicted, Chen Su arrived a few minutes later, she was led in by Daiyu who left a few minutes later.

”I came as soon as I got your message, what is wrong Ying'er?”

Xia Ying looked at her with a dim expression, ”I need your help, Chen Su”.

”you have it, do you even need to ask”

”Just like that? You are not going to ask me why?”

”I don't need to, Ying'er. You and I are as close as sisters, I will always help you no matter what. You seem upset Ying'er, what is wrong?”

”My grandmother has arranged a natch for me”

”That is good news, who is it?”

”The Crown Prince, but I don't love him. Susu, you know how I have always dreamed of marrying for love like my parents and grandparents”

”I know Ying'er but surely you know that it isn't possible for people like us. The decision of who we marry isn't left to use but our parents.”

”Even though I still want to be able to marry for love and I will. Grandmother said that I can marry the general as long as his wife is dead. I must marry him as the main wife”

”By general, you mean_”

”General Lu”

”But he is already married!”

”It is a maid, someone with no backing. If she died no one would care, I would just wait out the mourning period and then marry the general as his second wife”

”And the Grand Princess agreed to this?”

”Yes, which is why I need your help. Well, I need tge help of your secret guards” Xia Yong held her arm tightly.

Chen Su saw the determination in Xia Ying eye and sighed, ”okay, I will help you”.
