Chapter 50 Taking a Step Back
Upon learning that Su Chen had woken up, the Empress Dowager convened a family meeting that same day, excluding Jiang Zhixia.
Jiang Lin slightly raised her phoenix eyes and looked at her eldest son.
"What's Xiaxia's attitude? Doesn't she plan to call off the engagement?"
Jiang Ting didn't say anything.
He changed back into his military uniform today; the dark blue uniform made his features appear cold and unsettling, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Jiang Huai sighed beside him, "What other attitude can we have? We ran to see him three times a day when he was unconscious, how can we let go now that he's awake?"
No sooner had I finished speaking than I received a solid blow to the back of the head.
"hiss!"
Jiang Huai covered his head and turned away, looking aggrieved.
The queen withdrew her hand, her expression unchanged: "Then why didn't you try to persuade your sister?"
Jiang Huai said with a bitter face, "I tried to persuade them—ah!"
I got hit on the back of the head again.
This time, they went a bit too far.
He turned his head with a grimace and saw his busy father standing behind him, looking down at him.
Wu Zhan withdrew his hand. "You couldn't persuade your sister, and you dare to talk back?"
Jiang Huai: "..."
I can't live like this anymore.
Jiang Ting, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
Let her decide for herself.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Lin and Wu Zhan turned their heads at the same time. Jiang Huai, no longer bothering to rub his head, stared wide-eyed at his older brother.
Jiang Ting has always been ruthless towards the brother and sister. When did he ever say such a thing?
The queen tentatively asked, "Do you know what Xiaxia is thinking?"
Jiang Ting shook his head. "She's grown up and has her own ideas."
Queen: "...?"
When she was married to the rightful husband, didn't she keep saying that she was still young?
What's going on now?
Speaking of her daughter, she has indeed become much more sensible recently, but the Empress still can't help but worry.
"But that Su Chen... is already crippled."
No matter what, it's impossible to let a D-class male be the daughter's legal husband.
Jiang Ting remained silent.
He did not mention that Su Chen's mental energy was showing signs of repair.
He temporarily suppressed the news about the therapists involved in the examination, citing it as a "confidential investigation," keeping it from both the Empress and His Majesty.
If the female doesn't want others to know, he'll help her cover it up.
As for what secret she was hiding... he vaguely guessed that it might be related to her mental strength.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhixia was worried about the test report on the screen.
My mental strength is still at level B.
That's puzzling.
She has a spiritual body, can soothe the S-rank Lu Jue, and can even repair Su Chen's damaged spiritual power. How could she only be a B-rank?
Beside him, Su Chen was also looking at the report, his brows furrowed slightly.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Princess, do you usually wear perfume?"
Jiang Zhixia looked up from the report, paused for a moment, and said, "Perfume? I don't need it."
She hasn't used that thing since she came into this world.
Su Chen looked at her, carefully choosing his words, "Does the princess know that you always have a fragrance about you?"
aroma?
Jiang Zhixia lowered her head, buried her face in her arms, and sniffed.
There's nothing there.
"...What smell?" She looked up blankly.
Su Chen paused, looking at her completely oblivious expression.
"The princess usually has this fragrance, but it becomes very strong when she releases her spiritual power, and it seems to have the same calming effect on males as her spiritual power."
Jiang Zhixia was stunned.
So, she can soothe males not only with her mental strength and bodily fluids, but also with her body odor?
What kind of Mary Sue setting is this?
She sniffed hard again, but still couldn't smell anything.
"When did you first start to smell it?"
Su Chen recalled for a moment, "It's always been there, but it's become clearer and clearer compared to when I first met the princess."
When he first met the princess, his mental strength was already damaged, and he had a poor perception of the soothing effects of females. So he only thought that the fragrance was some kind of incense used by females and did not know that it had a soothing effect.
Even during the Zerg attack, when the princess in his arms had a strong fragrance, he failed to perceive it.
It wasn't until this time that he understood the magic of this fragrance.
Moreover, he observed that not everyone could smell it.
Otherwise, if the royal family knew that the princess had this trait, they would have been able to keep quiet about it.
Seeing him deep in thought, Jiang Zhixia leaned closer and asked, "You mean, I can restore your mental power because of this fragrance?"
Su Chen nodded. "That's possible. When the princess releases her spiritual power, the fragrance will become increasingly intense."
Jiang Zhixia, who felt like a cake radiating a sweet aroma, was speechless.
She actually has this trait?
Is it related to the little white flower?
I really wish I could sew a mouth onto the little white flower.
She really didn't know what other abilities this thing had; all she knew for now was that it could be nourished with the spiritual power of a male with a high compatibility level.
Moreover, feeding it may increase one's mental strength level.
Otherwise, why would he have awakened a second time ahead of schedule?
At first, she thought that compatibility was linked to rank. Lu Jue was S-rank and Jiang Ting was SS-rank. After feeding the little white flowers, they were all full of energy.
Su Chen is currently only at the D-rank.
Jiang Zhixia felt the "overfed" signals emanating from the seven little things inside her body and fell into deep thought.
Doesn't her spirit form have any picky eating habits?
She rubbed her temples speechlessly, then, as if remembering something, turned to ask Su Chen beside her.
"When do you plan to take over the Su family's businesses?"
Su Chen raised his eyes.
"Does the princess want to return it to me now?"
"Of course." Jiang Zhixia nodded. "It's yours to begin with. Whenever you want it, I'll transfer the access to you."
Su Chen did not answer, but asked another question instead.
"Princess, has the engagement been dissolved?"
Upon hearing about the marriage agreement, Jiang Zhixia recalled the Empress Dowager's disappointed look.
"Not yet. I postponed the ceremony, wanting to wait until you wake up to make a decision."
Su Chen remained silent for a moment.
"Princess, please dissolve it. I will take over the business after it's dissolved."
He destroyed his mental strength in order to break off the engagement.
If Su Tongwei dies, the poison will be traced back to him. He cannot let the princess be implicated and tainted.
Moreover, we can't just take advantage of the princess's soft heart and keep pushing our luck.
Even if he doesn't want to lift the ban, the royal family will make a decision sooner or later.
Why not let him take the initiative to back down?
Only when this fake engagement is dissolved can he openly compete for the princess's attention and truly make her notice him.
So Su Tongwei needs to find a different way to die.
Seeing that he seemed genuinely interested in taking over, Jiang Zhixia smiled and said, "Okay."
For Su Chen right now, having something he wants to do and is able to do is more important than anything else.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Zhixia looked at the overwhelming images of males in front of her, her lips twitching.
Upon learning that her daughter had agreed to call off the engagement, Jiang Lin happily began looking for a suitable successor for her.
"These are A-grade and S-grade. You can start by picking a few from the A-grade to take a look at. Higher grades will put too much pressure on you..."
Jiang Ting stood beside the Empress, his expression indifferent, without uttering a word.
Jiang Zhixia, engrossed in seeing the female, quickly interrupted her, "Mother! I just broke off my engagement and don't want to think about these things for now."
Jiang Lin frowned slightly, just about to say something.
Her eldest son glanced at her sideways.
She slowly closed her mouth.
Her daughter's obsession with love was hard to cure, so she was naturally a little anxious, but her eldest son was right—the child had grown up and had his own ideas.
Now that we've finally managed to find a D-class male, we really can't be too eager to force her into a legitimate husband.
Otherwise, what if it backfires?
The queen finally relented.
"Okay, let's talk about this later, as long as it's not that D-level one," she patiently advised her daughter. "If you really like him, you can let him stay by your side, but not your husband. With D-level mental strength, he won't even be able to form a contract in the future. It's better to break off the engagement."
Jiang Ting looked away.
Jiang Zhixia was taken aback and turned her head to look at the cold-faced man next to her.
He didn't tell the Empress that Su Chen's mental strength showed signs of recovery.
Looking at his profile, Jiang Zhixia was even more deeply moved.
Her older brother must have already realized something; he's helping her cover it up.
However, under the watchful eyes of the royal family, it was ultimately easy for the secret to be exposed.
So Jiang Zhixia blinked at the female queen and smiled obediently.
"Mother, the engagement is off, and there's no need for a ceremony. Can I go back to living in our private residence?"
Jiang Lin immediately stopped worrying about whether he was a legitimate husband or not.
"Why? Are you uncomfortable living in the palace?"
"It's not that I'm uncomfortable. After my second awakening, I just wanted to change my environment and have some peace and quiet."
The queen gazed at her with a melancholy look.
My daughter has been quite sensible lately, but I feel like she's becoming more and more distant from home.
Finally, Jiang Zhixia had to talk until her lips were sore to reassure the Queen.
As she left the palace with Jiang Ting, she turned around and met his downcast gaze.
She hesitated, her lips barely moving, the words still swirling on her tongue, when a warm hand landed on her head.
Jiang Ting gently patted the top of her head, neither seeking praise nor questioning her.
"No need to say anything, go ahead."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.
Jiang Zhixia gazed at that straight back, her expression complex.
……
Ning Yi has not been able to contact Su Chen for three days.
The message he sent went unanswered, but Su Chen's name kept popping up in the news feed.
That genius who was exceptionally admitted to the Imperial Healing Association now has a glaring D rating in his grade column.
Ning Yi stared blankly at the ceiling.
He met Su Chen at a shop in a gray-market area that sold special drugs.
That guy looked gentle and polite, but he bought dangerous drugs that were among the top items on the Empire's list of prohibited substances.
Ning Yi was amused—it was quite rare to see someone in this place who looked even less like a shopper than himself.
He later learned that Su Chen needed certain controlled drugs, and he happened to have a way to obtain them.
The two hit it off immediately. He provided funding for Su Chen's research, and Su Chen provided medicine to help him suppress the white fox characteristics. They lived like this for three years, mutually benefiting each other.
He knew that Su Chen's goal was to destroy the Su family.
Now that Su Chen has succeeded, the Su family is practically an empty shell.
But why did he get himself involved as well?
Ning Yi couldn't understand it.
The computer screen lit up briefly; it was a notification from Imperial News.
The Third Princess's engagement is null and void; her official husband is yet to be confirmed.
He stared at the headline, his brow furrowing.
Did the female kick Su Chen away?
It seems she wasn't very kind-hearted.
He lowered his eyes, looking at the last remaining vial of medicine in his hand.
Those damn white fox features are getting harder and harder to suppress lately; the light white color at the roots of my hair keeps popping up every now and then.
Without medicine, he'll be unable to leave the house with a head full of tangled hair!
Su Chen, if you're not dead, at least reply to my message!
He irritably tossed the personal computer aside, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, the Patriarch requests your presence."
Ning Yi paused for a moment, stood up, straightened his clothes, and tucked the stray white hair into his red hair.
Then, looking in the mirror, he put on a professional fake smile: Let's go, let's go act.
