When the two guards rushed to the Wen family to bring people, Master Wen was confused. Why would the emperor suddenly summon his daughter?

Could it be that the emperor has seen Wan'er and taken a liking to her?

Oh, this is great! Fortunately, he has not yet agreed to marry his daughter to Shen Wenren, otherwise, his daughter would have missed this great opportunity!

Thinking of this, Mr. Wen suddenly laughed excitedly.

Two guards: "......"

Is he not sick?! Why did he suddenly become stupid?

After Master Wen had a good laugh, he quickly told the maid to pour tea for the two guards. He personally went to the backyard to tell Wen Wan the good news and asked her to dress up well before entering the palace to meet the emperor.

Wen Wan was dissatisfied as she let the maid dress her up while she muttered, "The emperor is already old. Wouldn't it be harmful to me if he took me into the palace? I don't want to be his concubine!"

Master Wen was waiting outside. When he heard his daughter's complaints, he quickly comforted her: "Who said the emperor is old? He doesn't even have a child. He should be about the same age as Mr. Shen. He became the emperor at such a young age with his own ability and made all the officials in the court submit to him. It's your blessing that you can win the emperor's favor!"

"What? He is the same age as Shen Lang? How is this possible!" Wen Wan widened her eyes in shock.

Shen Wenren passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi at the age of nineteen. In Wen Wan's view, he was already a child of destiny. How could there be someone more capable than him and become the emperor on his own?

Naturally, she had heard a lot about the current emperor's deeds. He was decisive and ruthless in his actions, and it didn't sound like the courage of a young man in his twenties.

Master Wen's words successfully aroused Wen Wan's interest in the current emperor.

The reason why she wanted to marry Shen Wenren was because she thought he was capable. Now, when she learned that someone more capable than him had taken a fancy to her, especially since this person was the emperor, her determination to marry Shen Wenren was inexplicably confused...

After changing her clothes and dressing up, Wen Wan took the carriage that came to pick people up from the palace and entered the palace.

After the guards reported to the imperial study, Wen Wan followed the guards into the imperial study.

The first thing she saw was the tall figure behind the desk. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his gaze was as deep as cold stars. There was an innate sense of oppression between his brows, and his aura of majesty without anger was natural!

At just one glance, Ye Ze's appearance was deeply engraved in Wen Wan's heart. A blush instantly appeared on her cheeks and her heart beat rapidly.

Shen Wenren is not on the same level as the emperor, okay? She is not blind!

Fulu: Why do everyone act like fools when they see the emperor?

"Why don't you kneel down and salute?"

"Yes." Wen Wan hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I, the humble daughter Wen Wan, pay my respects to the emperor."

"Stand up." Ye Ze looked at Wen Wan for a few seconds, then looked away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Wan stood up and secretly looked up at Ye Ze. Did he fall in love with her? If it was him, Wen Wan would be willing to enter the palace as a concubine.

Thinking that she would soon be his concubine, Wen Wan could not help but feel overjoyed and did not notice the existence of Shen Wenren and Zhao Tao at all.

Until Ye Ze pointed at Shen Wenren and said, "I heard that you have arranged a marriage with her?"

The shy smile on Wen Wan's face froze, and she turned her head stiffly, and saw Shen Wenren looking at her with affection in his eyes.

Why do I suddenly feel that Shen Wenren’s gaze is a bit disgusting?

Wen Wan: "My father did intend to bring them together before, but he already has a wife at home. As the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, how can I be a concubine? It is even more impossible to separate them, so I did not agree."

Shen Wenren was completely dumbfounded after hearing Wen Wan's words. Before, Wen Wan had always talked about Shen Lang, Shen Lang. She was obviously interested in him, so why would she suddenly say that?

Zhao Tao was also extremely surprised. She had come to her in such a domineering manner before and said those humiliating words to her, as if she was determined to marry Shen Wenren. Why did she change her words now?

"Oh?" Ye Ze became interested. Shen Wenren had just confidently asked Wen Wan to be his co-wife, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly!

"So, Shen Wenren was the one who wanted it, and your father agreed, but you just didn't like him?"

Wen Wan nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."

Shen Wenren couldn't hold it in any longer, he tried his best to control his tone, "Wan'er, have you forgotten that you promised to marry me?"

Wen Wan blinked her big eyes in embarrassment and said, "But you have a wife! Besides, I don't think we are suitable for each other."

Wen Wan behaved like a little girl in front of the emperor and her voice was gentle.

"Wan'er..." Shen Wenren felt heartbroken!

Seeing Shen Wenren's miserable look, Zhao Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You wanted to divorce me for her, but in the end, she doesn't even like you! You even wanted her to be your second wife, hahahaha, you really made me laugh to death!"

Wen Wan's face turned pale when she heard this. Shen Wenren actually wanted her to be his co-wife? Isn't that a concubine? How could he have the nerve to say such a thing? What was so good about him that made her want to be his concubine? A title of Jinshi? Pah! He was not worthy of it!

Ye Ze's face darkened: "How dare you, Shen Wenren! You already have a wife at home, but you still want to marry someone else. Isn't this abandoning your wife? You can even abandon your first wife at will. How can you be a human being!"

Ye Ze shouted angrily, and Shen Wenren suddenly woke up as if from a dream. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground. He was so excited just now that he even forgot the original intention of Ye Ze summoning him this time.

Ye Ze must have done it on purpose. He asked someone to threaten Wan'er, so Wan'er said those words. He wanted to make her break down and tell the truth so that he could punish himself!

Shen Wenren thought hatefully in his heart, but no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't dare to question the emperor in person. He could only say that this was a beautiful misunderstanding.

He knocked his head to the ground and said, "I know I was wrong. I hope Your Majesty will give me another chance. I will definitely treat Tao'er well."

"Hmph! If you had confessed your guilt in the hall that day, I might have forgiven you because you hadn't done anything wrong. But you refused to admit it and had to let me put the evidence in front of you before you would confess. This is deceiving the emperor! How do you want me to punish you?"

Ye Ze scolded with a cold face. Staring at him with sharp eyes, Shen Wenren broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I swear that from now on, I will only have Tao'er as my wife and will never mention taking a concubine. Please forgive me this time." Shen Wenren finally realized that he was afraid. Ye Ze was no longer the Ye Ze in the village. He was the emperor, and his words were final! Naturally, there was no need to give him any face.

Zhao Tao was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Who wants to be your wife? I was sent to the wrong marriage back then, so I had no choice but to marry you." She turned her head and looked at Ye Ze, "My husband should be the emperor. Your Majesty, let me stay in the palace and serve you from now on."

Wen Wan listened to their conversation and felt more and more that something was wrong. It seemed that Shen Wenren and Zhao Tao had known the emperor before, and the emperor summoned her to convict Shen Wenren of abandoning his wife, not because he fell in love with her?

What to do? Wen Wan's heart is already filled with the emperor, what should she do if he refuses to take her into the palace as a concubine?

Ye Ze ignored the strange looks the two women gave him and said in a cold voice: "Shen Wenren will be stripped of all his honors and demoted to a commoner. No one in the Shen family can take the examination for three generations. Deceiving the emperor is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. Since you and I were once good friends, I will give you a lighter sentence. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Student...I thank the emperor." Shen Wenren knelt on the ground. What else could he say? If he had known it would be like this, he would have endured it a little longer. He would have mentioned the matter of divorcing his wife and marrying another man after he became an official. Wouldn't it be good to have double happiness?
