Chapter 71 Deepening feelings
Having withstood the test of the capital's defense, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling's relationship grew even stronger and more steadfast. Each crisis was like a raging fire, refining the purity of their love.
Looking at everything Su Jinxiu had done for him, for the Marquis's mansion, and for the country, Xiao Ling was deeply moved. "Jinxiu, having you by my side in this life is the greatest blessing for me, Xiao Ling," he said affectionately.
Su Jinxiu smiled and replied, "I have no regrets about being able to fight alongside you and face the storms together."
On ordinary days, after finishing his official duties, Xiao Ling would always return to the Marquis's residence as soon as possible to share his day's experiences and feelings with Su Jinxiu. Su Jinxiu would listen patiently and offer him warm comfort and encouragement.
Sometimes, Xiao Ling would secretly take Su Jinxiu away from the Marquis's residence to stroll through the streets and alleys of the capital. Like an ordinary couple, they would sample street food and enjoy the performances of folk artists.
“Jinxiu, I used to be so busy with court affairs that I neglected the simple beauty of this world. Now that I’m with you, I realize that this is the true meaning of life,” Xiao Ling said, holding Su Jinxiu’s hand.
Su Jinxiu leaned on his shoulder: "As long as you are by my side, no matter when or where, it is the most beautiful scenery."
In the Marquis's mansion, they planted flowers symbolizing love together in the garden and discussed poetry and literature together in the study. Every night, Xiao Ling would play a tune for Su Jinxiu, the melodious music echoing in the night sky, as if telling of their endless love.
However, this sweetness did not make them forget the responsibilities on their shoulders.
The situation in the court remained complex, and the border wars had not yet completely subsided. Xiao Ling knew he could not afford to be complacent in the slightest, and Su Jinxiu was fully supporting him.
To give Xiao Ling more confidence in court, Su Jinxiu used her wisdom and connections to gather intelligence and analyze the situation for him. Her insights often gave Xiao Ling a fresh perspective and allowed him to gain the upper hand in his struggles with other officials.
In addition to his official duties, Xiao Ling also cared about the affairs of the Marquis's mansion and offered advice to Su Jinxiu. With his help, the Marquis's mansion's businesses flourished and its reputation grew even stronger.
Once, Su Jinxiu caught a cold and became weak. Xiao Ling put aside all his affairs and personally stayed by her bedside, brewing medicine and feeding her soup.
"Jinxiu, you must get better soon. I can't live without you." Xiao Ling's eyes were full of worry and concern.
Su Jinxiu was moved to tears: "With you here, I will definitely get better."
Under Xiao Ling's meticulous care, Su Jinxiu recovered quickly.
As time went by, their love story became a legend in the capital. People praised them as a match made in heaven, not only deeply in love but also making great contributions to the country and its people.
But just as they were basking in happiness, a mysterious letter from afar shattered their peace...
The contents of the letter instantly made Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu's expressions turn serious. It turned out that the enemy forces on the border had made new moves, and it seemed that there was a traitor within the court colluding with the enemy.
"No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we must face them together," Xiao Ling said, holding Su Jinxiu's hand tightly.
Su Jinxiu nodded, her eyes filled with determination: "Yes, we will definitely get through this crisis."
They know that the road ahead is long, but as long as they rely on each other, nothing can stop them from moving forward.
