C4 Better be honest

"You promised that you wouldn't cause the Emperor or the Prince Feather to become angry?" Living a new life, Ban Xia didn't want to let himself die so early.

First of all, what she needed to protect was her own safety.

"Don't worry about that, you are also the daughter of the Shang Shu Fu, you were just born out of a concubine. There is nothing wrong with that, it can't be considered as disobeying the emperor's decree." As for the Prince Feather, since he was injured and handicapped, he might as well marry a wife and bring her home.

"If you want me to agree, it's not impossible. However, I want to know, since this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor, then when I get married, how many people will accompany me in marriage?" it shouldn't be too shabby, right? " Ban Xia's mind thought of something, and asked for her dowry.

No matter how illustrious and grand the Prince Feather Palace was, it was impossible for her to spend money as she pleased. However, in this world, without silver, it was really impossible for him to do what he wanted.

If she could use this opportunity to save up some of her savings, she would be more than willing to do so.

"Little girl, you ?" "Indeed, although she looks soft and weak, her mental cultivation is incorrect!" Shen never thought that the other party would bring up the issue of dowry.

Logically speaking, this dowry should be generous, but she suddenly didn't want to give this lowly and useless girl so much.

"Mother, you decide. If the dowry is too little, I won't marry!" In any case, Senior Sister is more suitable than me, isn't it? " Ban Xia was actually not anxious at all.

"You ? "How dare you threaten me!" Shen's face was sullen and angry, his almond-shaped eyes wide open.

"Mother, you are wrong. I am just trying to get what I deserve." Ban Xia did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Shang Shu Fu should not be lacking in these dowry money, if she did not want it now, she would be the real fool.

"Alright, here you are, I'll give you everything!" Shen weighed things over and over again. Her daughter's lifelong happiness was the greatest, and she had given it her all for the sake of her daughter.

"Ban Xia is here, thank you mother!" Ban Xia feigned a blessing in return.

Thinking about how he would have to spend a large amount of silver, Shen's face contorted in pain.

These dowries naturally included the gold, silver, and jewelry the emperor had called for his eunuchs to give him, as well as the luxurious silk and silk.

On the other hand,, this girl, had gotten such a huge bargain for nothing.

"Next up, before you get married, you better be a bit more honest. As for your birth mother, after you obediently marry her, I will naturally let her go. As for the past few days, don't worry. I won't let her be cold or hungry."

The Shen was actually still just an old cunning fox. Even though Ban Xia had personally agreed to it, she was still not at ease. He still firmly grasped the Liu's in his hands and used it as a hostage to threaten Ban Xia.

Ban Xia wanted to jump up and curse, but she gritted his teeth and endured it.

If this was in the past, with her past skills and bloodthirsty personality, she would have definitely taken down Shen's head and kicked it like a ball.

However, with her weak body right now, she really didn't have any attack power.

She secretly made up her mind that she must secretly train to be able to kill people with her bare hands just like in the past. Right now, she only wanted to be stronger and have the ability to protect herself in the face of danger.

"Mother, how was it? How was it? Did it go smoothly?" Mu Lian already knew her mother's plans and arrangements, so she nervously stayed in her mother's courtyard, waiting for her mother to bring back the good news.

"If I go personally, is there anything I can't do?" The Shen doted on and even doted upon her daughter.

It was vastly different from her cold and distant attitude towards Ban Xia just now.

"Mother, do I really not need to marry that crippled prince?" Mu Lian was so excited that she tugged at his mother's sleeve, shaking it non-stop.

All the joy, without any concealment, was written on this small face.

"Of course, mother said that as long as mother was here, you would not suffer any grievances." Shen comforted her and patted her, hinting that she should be a young miss of the Shang Shu Fu.

"Father ?" Mu Lian was still worried.

"Don't worry, your father is still here." Shen was confident.

In any case, they were now husband and wife, and as long as she properly blew on the side of the bed, there would be no more surprises.

Ban Xia returned to her empty room alone. When her mother was here, she had never felt that this room was so quiet and empty.

Right now, her mother was still in the hands of Shen. Although Shen had guaranteed to her that he wouldn't hurt her mother, it meant that even until the marriage, she, as his daughter, would never be able to see her own mother again.

As for the object she wanted to marry ? the crippled prince, if one carefully considered it, he should also be rather pitiful.

She let her imagination run wild for the entire night. It wasn't until dawn that she finally fell asleep.

The following days were calm and peaceful.

Shen did not appear again, nor did he feel the slightest bit sad for her. She had even arranged for the best tailor in the capital to come to her house and specially tailor her clothes so as to make her a married wedding dress and choose the best embroidery lady to work with.

Every time she looked at the servants in the manor, they could not help but feel sympathy and pity for her.

As far as they were concerned, this was probably a fire pit, a pit that would destroy the happiness of a girl.

Unfortunately, she was that unlucky bastard.

In the eyes of the servants, this Second Miss seemed a little silly.

Why do you say that?

If it were anyone else, they would probably be so worried that they would not be able to sleep or eat. They would be so thin that they would probably be unable to sleep.

But this Second Miss, on the other hand, didn't seem to care at all. If he could eat and drink, it seemed that the sky was falling down, he wouldn't be in a hurry to worry.

But how could these servants know that in these few days, Ban Xia would often 'train' secretly at night. Sometimes, it would only take him one night to cultivate.

Since he had consumed a lot of energy, he naturally ate a lot. Then, because he had worked too hard at night, he slept a lot during the day and woke up late.

Regarding these discussions and sympathy, Ban Xia pretended that she hadn't seen or heard anything.

Those people weren't her, so they would never understand her.

She only needed to be herself.

As for the thoughts of others who had nothing to do with it, she didn't have to care too much about it.

Unknowingly, time passed slowly like flowing water.

Finally, the day of marriage arrived.

When dawn broke, a wife came over and grabbed the unconscious Ban Xia and brought him up to dress him up.

Ban Xia, who was yawning unhappily, was pushed to the side of the makeup stage by her wife.

This marriage, to Ban Xia, was extremely normal.

After all, she didn't have any expectations for this.

"People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, and sure enough, Second Miss wore this set of wedding dress, if she put on more makeup, she would look like a completely different person." A grandma looked at Ban Xia who was finished with her makeup.

After reincarnating, Ban Xia wasn't considered too bad of a useless person. It was just because she had been placed in a difficult situation in the Shang Shu Fu, that she didn't have any chances to disguise herself.

Thus, after dressing up like this, she was naturally breathtaking.

"Ban Xia!"

A hoarse voice suddenly came from the direction of the door.

Ban Xia's body slightly stiffened, and quickly turned around.

"Mother!"

The person who called her out just now was her birth mother, the one that Shen released temporarily.

On such an important day, he naturally couldn't lack such an important person.

"You silly girl, why are you ?" When the Liu's was released, they found out that their own daughter was going to marry to the Prince Feather. Everyone within and outside the Imperial City knew about the fact that the Prince Feather was crippled.

When they saw each other again, the mother and daughter tightly hugged each other.

"Mother, are you alright? They didn't make things difficult for you. They didn't make you suffer, right?"

The mother and daughter were both concerned about each other.

"Ban Xia, you should be honest with your mother, whether you were forced by them or not. If they really were forced, you wouldn't have to care about my life.

Liu's's eyes were cloudy as he cried.

Dressed in a cowardly and timid manner, this was the first time that she hated herself so much, hated herself for being so powerless.

"It's all mother's fault that you were implicated!"

Ban Xia shook her head with all her might as tears continued to fall from her eyes. She was even more touched.

The cold heart that was once cold and hard no longer seemed so cold and hard, no longer so cold and heartless.

"No, Mother. Endure it a little longer, and endure it in this mansion. After a while, I will think of a way to bring you out. In the future, you won't have to look at anyone's face."

The current Shang Shu Fu was like a den of wolves; it was never safe.

Ban Xia was willing to accept anything for the time being just to leave this damned place first. Once outside, she would then think of a way to bring her birth mother out.

"You foolish girl, you don't need to care about me. I don't care about anything, but you are different! You are still so young, and you are exactly as beautiful as jade! Tell me, after you marry a husband like that, how will you live in the future?"

They had both walked step by step from the young girl to the young woman, how could the Liu's not understand the grievances that had been caused.

What's there to be afraid of? Rumor has it that the crippled prince was heavily injured during the battle, and that he is so heavily injured that he might not even have a few years to live. At most, I can endure for two or three more years until both of his legs give up.

In order to pacify his own mother, Ban Xia tried his best to show that he was optimistic.

"Pah! Pah! If he died, wouldn't you become a widow?" Liu's still felt pained.

"Cough ?" The two of you are reminiscing about old times, should we? " The Shen appeared out of nowhere with a look of disdain and disdain.

"Madam, the sedan chair is here!" nanny reminded and urged from the side.

"Pull him away!" Shen ordered with a gloomy face.

A few servants immediately pulled away the crying Liu's and dragged him away.
