Chapter 277 - 275: Her Good Fortune (First Update)

Chapter 277: Chapter 275: Her Good Fortune (First Update)

Xu Jing was slightly taken aback, didn’t have time to say anything before Xiao Yi walked out.

She sat quietly for a while and then pulled off her own bridal veil. Nanny Wen hurriedly said, "Oh, the bride shouldn’t remove her red veil herself..."

Xu Jing, who had always respected Nanny Wen, rarely acted rebelliously. After removing the red veil, she immediately took off the phoenix crown on her head and said helplessly, "Yan Ci and I are not getting married for the first time, there’s no need to go through every ritual.

Chunyang, come quickly and give me a hand, I can’t take it off!"

The thought of having to sit elegantly in the bridal chamber for several hours waiting for Xiao Yi in this garb was suffocating!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Nanny Wen was flustered and at a loss. Suddenly, a cheerful child’s voice came from outside the room, "Mom!"

Almost at the same time, a little bundle wrapped in red darted inside like a little red lantern, directly pouncing on Xu Jing. With the phoenix crown still halfway off, her hair was in danger when he pounced over. She quickly waved her hand saying, "Hey, Chang Xiao, wait a minute!"

Before she finished speaking, a hand reached over and grabbed the little one who was running joyfully. It turned out Zhao Shao Hua had entered at some point.

Behind her, Cheng Qingqing followed with a beaming smile.

To attend her wedding banquet, Cheng Xianbai and Cheng Qingqing had arrived in the Western Capital two days ago.

Zhao Shao Hua amusingly watched the little one struggle to escape, saying, "Your mom will live with you from now on, plenty of time for affection, why such a rush?"

The little one hesitated, seemingly only now aware of this, suddenly not as anxious, looking at Xu Jing with sparkling eyes, "Mom, are you really not leaving anymore?"

Before, time with Mom was always precious, so every time he rushed, unwilling to be apart even for a short while.

But today, everyone said that Mom and Dad were married, so now they are family again and won’t be separated!

Xu Jing amusingly looked at Xiao Huai’an who looked at her with hopeful eyes. By then, the phoenix crown had finally come off, and she extended her hand, saying, "Yes, Mom is not leaving."

At least, not for the next three years.

Xiao Huai’an felt he finally confirmed it to be true and joyfully leapt into Xu Jing’s embrace.

Nanny Wen at the side: "..."

Indeed, Miss Xu and Xiao Qilang are not suited to follow conventional rituals.

Zhao Shao Hua looked at the speechless Nanny Wen and laughed, saying, "Nanny Wen, don’t worry so much, Jing and Yan Ci have their own minds, they won’t obediently do as told.

Which normal lady can endure wearing a phoenix crown heavier than a stone for several hours? When I got married, I took it off as soon as I got to the room, only put it back when Fifth Lang was almost back."

Nanny Wen: "..."

If it were someone else’s daughter-in-law speaking like this, she would definitely scold her for being unruly.

But since the speaker was her own daughter-in-law, it was hard to maintain her old face, and how could she demand Miss Xu adhere to etiquette?

Ultimately, she could only put on a huffy appearance, saying, "Fine, fine, I’m meddling too much, I won’t care anymore, do as you wish.

I’ll head to the kitchen to have someone make some food."

Zhao Shao Hua couldn’t help but chuckle, saying, "Jing, don’t mind, Nanny Wen just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"I know, in this time it’s thanks to Nanny Wen’s help."

Xu Jing slightly raised her lips and said, "Qingqing, are you getting used to it? I’ve been busy today and haven’t had time to host you and your brother."

"Oh, Jing, no need to worry about us, Young Madam Zhao is very enthusiastic, she’s been taking us around!"

Cheng Qingqing suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Moreover, I’ve found that the Young Madam Zhao and I have many common topics. She’s very interested in the skincare ointments I’ve come up with!"

Cheng Qingqing’s medical skills have made great strides recently, especially insightful in researching skincare products. The last time she came to the Western Capital, she persistently asked Xu Jing to help evaluate the effects of the skincare creams she developed. Xu Jing also wrote down all the skincare-related prescriptions she could think of for Qingqing, letting her study them herself.

At that time, Xu Jing realized that this little girl was also a genius in pharmaceuticals, previously completely overlooked.

Zhao Shao Hua couldn’t help but get excited, "Yes! Qingqing’s ointments are amazing; it was the first time I knew there’s ointment that can whiten, remove spots, and even tighten skin! Qingqing also particularly excels in treating some skin diseases, and I have a close friend who recently has a lot of rashes on her face, she’s troubled. I plan to introduce Qingqing to her!

I wanted to find you, but you’ve been busy with the wedding, fortunately, Qingqing’s here!"

The two, claiming to keep her company for fear of her boredom, ended up getting carried away with the skincare conversation, completely neglecting the person they intended to accompany.

Xu Jing watched them on the side, both amused and helpless, yet feeling unspeakably content inside.

About a year ago, Qingqing was still troubled over whether her family’s medical clinic could continue operating, who knew in such a short time, she’d transform into a doctor capable of facing any challenge alone.

Then there’s Cheng Xianbai, the sibling pair like rough but precious gems, as long as slightly polished, they shine brightly. They always said meeting her was their luck, but wasn’t it also her good fortune to meet them?

Seeing Zhao Shao Hua eagerly suggesting cooperation with Cheng Qingqing to open a skincare-focused clinic in the Western Capital, Xu Jing lightly coughed twice, deliberately adopting a stern face, "I have no objection to Qingqing developing a sideline, but our Xinglin Hall is about to expand; I’m short of available hands, don’t snatch Qingqing away at this critical time."

Cheng Qingqing immediately raised two fingers, "Rest assured, Jing, I know what’s important, Xinglin Hall is always my priority!"

Xu Jing raised her eyebrow slightly, smiling, "I’ve already spoken to Mr. Zhou, asking him to find several young female doctors for me. These young doctors are for you to train, and once you’ve brought up some assistants and have spare capacity, you can do whatever you want. Xinglin Hall shouldn’t be a shackle binding you; as long as you have the ability, you can freely pursue your desires."

Cheng Qingqing was momentarily stunned, deeply moved as she looked at Xu Jing.

In the past, people around her always said a woman would eventually marry, learning so much was useless. Even when she was little, pestering Dad to learn medicine, he said the same, thus never formally teaching her.

Later, after her brother ran away from home, Dad worried nobody would inherit the medical clinic and reluctantly started teaching her.

This was the first time someone told her, as long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want.

A woman’s destiny is not limited to marriage and childbearing, or rather, this might be one of many things that could happen in life, far from being a destiny.

Cheng Qingqing suddenly had a vague realization that often what binds women isn’t marriage and childbirth, but one’s thoughts.

Beside her, Zhao Shao Hua couldn’t help but shake her head in admiration, "There are few in this world who think like you, Jing, but I like it. Yan Ci did a good deed, without him bringing you back, I wouldn’t have a wonderful sister like you!"

Then she suddenly leaned in closer to Xu Jing, speaking mysteriously, "Now that you and Yan Ci are remarried, shouldn’t you work on giving Chang Xiao a few younger siblings?"
