Chapter 508 (1): Does Whatever He Wants With No Qualms (unedited)
As the Xie Family was not only an aristocratic family for many generations, one of their ancestors had also been an empress dowager, and they had worked hard to make many meritorious contributions, Situ Lin agreed to his resignation, but was unwilling to strip him of his position of a commandery prince.
The family estates, fields, and stores were all transferred under Xie Liuli’s name, but her whole mind was focused on taking care of her elder brother, and she was not in the mood to manage the properties, so she handed the task to their honest and loyal butler.
Xie Yun felt as if his whole body was relieved. After fighting with Pei Qianhao for so many years, even though I’m winding up with a defeat, I actually feel at ease instead. When I talk to Pei Qianhao in person now, it’s not as hostile as it was in the past.
Pei Qianhao poured a cup of water for him. Xie Yun took it and leaned against the bed pillar, chuckling, “I never expected that there would be a day when both of us can calmly talk to each other.”
“This Prince also didn’t expect something like this either.”
“Pei Qianhao, I really envy you; you don’t lack anything.” Xie Yun’s gaze grew distant, and he would glance towards the door from time to time.
Zhen Yu wouldn’t come and see me, right?
“Xie Yun, Brother Hu’s real name is Rong Qing. He is already married, and his wife is pregnant.” Pei Qianhao placidly stated, though his words were no doubt a huge pleasant surprise for Xie Yun.
“Brother Hu already has a wife.” Xie Yun mumbled.
Zhen Yu is such a good young lady, yet Brother Hu let her down. He was delighted, but his heart also ached for her. If he has let her down, then maybe I have a chance.
“It will be up to you to decide what you should do. Zhen Yu is temporarily staying in the Prince Hao Residence. Since you are no longer the Xie Yun of the past, this Prince naturally welcomes you.” Pei Qianhao stood up and walked out of the room, leaving Xie Yun to his own thoughts.
Zhen Yu probably still doesn’t know about Brother Hu being married. I can’t tell her. If she finds out, we’ll definitely be grief-stricken. But if I don’t tell her, how am I going to get close to her?

Not long after Pei Qianhao walked out of the room, he spotted Xie Liuli walking over with medicinal soup in the courtyard.
Xie Liuli stopped before him with a respectful smile. “Prince Hao, thank you.”
“Take care of Commandery Prince Xie well.” Pei Qianhao indifferently replied before leaving the courtyard.
Xie Liuli watched as Pei Qianhao faded into the distance, then looked at the tightly shut door to the room. Things are...very good in the Commandery Prince Residence now. Everything is different from it was in the past.
With a wide smile on her countenance, she quickly headed towards the room.

When Pei Qianhao reached the Prince Hao Residence, Su Xi-er had just come out of Zhen Yu’s room.
“A-Jing, Zhen Yu’s emotions seem to be unstable, and she would vomit as soon as she eats. Could she be pregnant?”
“Instruct an imperial physician to diagnose her after a period of time. Xi-er, you don’t have to care about this matter any further.”
Su Xi-er nodded. “I also don’t know how to care about this matter. We can’t tell her that Brother Hu has let her down. It’s fine even if she doesn’t meet him.”
“Xi-er, you also have to nourish your body over this period of time.” Pei Qianhao immediately wrapped his arms around her waist.
“My body is fine. Medicinal soup is too bitter; I don’t want to drink them.”
Pei Qianhao tightened his hold, and he whispered into her ear, “Are you not going to drink child giving soup?”
