The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

Wang Leqing saw her son coming back in a daze, and her heart tightened immediately. She hurried forward to greet him. She asked with a worried look on her face: "Son, what happened? Why are you so sad?"

Jun Rui looked at his mother with dejected expression, tears flashing in his eyes and his lips trembling slightly.

He suddenly burst into tears, tears pouring out of his eyes like a flood.

He choked up and said, "Mother... Li'er may never wake up! The princess told me to be mentally prepared and asked me to leave Li'er. Mother, I really don't know what to do!"

Wang Leqing felt heartbroken when he saw his son’s painful expression.

She hugged her son tightly, stroked his hair gently, and comforted him softly: "Rui'er, no matter what decision you make, mother will support you."

Jun Rui buried his head in his mother's warm arms in pain, trying to find a little comfort and strength.

Suddenly, he stopped crying and his eyes became firm.

He raised his head and said to Wang Leqing without hesitation: "Mother...I have decided that I will marry Li'er. I will pay the betrothal gift immediately and choose an auspicious day to marry her."

Wang Leqing couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but she was more worried. She advised: "Son...you have to think it through! This is a matter of a lifetime."

Jun Rui had a serious face, his eyes revealed an unwavering determination. He stared straight at Wang Leqing and said, "Mother, even if Li'er can't wake up in this life, I will still marry her. I love Li'er deeply. If I leave her, my son's future life will be as painful as hell... I will take care of her future life."

Faced with his son's resolute attitude, Wang Leqing knew that it would be futile to persuade him further.

So she said, "Rui'er, since you have made up your mind, as your mother I will naturally support you with all my strength. However, this matter is of great importance, so we still need to report it to your father and listen to his advice."

Jun Rui rejected her proposal without hesitation. He said firmly, "Mother, there is no need to consider father's opinion. I have made up my mind. I firmly believe that father will support my decision..."

Wang Leqing looked at her son who was determined. She knew her son's character very well. He would not change his mind once he made up his mind. So she started to discuss with Jun Rui the date for the engagement.

"Mom, I hope to bring Li'er to us as soon as possible so that I can take care of her personally." Jun Rui said seriously.

"Okay! In that case, mother will go to the Regent's Palace tomorrow to present the betrothal gifts!" Wang Leqing replied with a smile.

The next morning, Wang Leqing came to Xuanyue Pavilion with generous gifts.

When Ouyang Miaoling heard the news from outside the door and learned that Wang Leqing came in person, she was shocked.

She originally thought that what she said last night had dissuaded Jun Rui from the idea, but she didn't expect them to be so persistent.

She ordered her servants to quickly invite Wang Leqing in, and when she saw Wang Leqing, she immediately went to greet him.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Ouyang Miaoling hurried out to greet her.

"My humble servant greets the princess..." After seeing Ouyang Miaoling, Wang Leqing hurriedly bowed.

"Please stand up quickly." Ouyang Miaoling hurried forward and helped Wang Leqing up.

After a few pleasantries, Ouyang Miaoling invited Wang Leqing into the main hall of Xuanyue Pavilion.

Ouyang Miaoling sat in the main seat, and Wang Leqing sat below her.

Wang Leqing was a straightforward person. She was the first to speak: "Ling'er, I took the liberty of coming here today because of my disappointing son."

"Oh... Rui'er is fine, what's wrong with her?" Ouyang Miaoling pretended not to know.

Wang Leqing paused, took a deep breath and said, "It's not about Rui'er and Li'er's marriage. Rui'er came back and told me yesterday that he wanted to marry Li'er. I came here today to propose to your Li'er on Rui'er's behalf."

Ouyang Miaoling was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect Jun Rui to be so affectionate and loyal. Even though Li'er had become like this, he was still willing to marry her.

This kind of deep affection is truly rare, and it made Ouyang Miaoling look at Jun Rui with new eyes.

However, Ouyang Miaoling did not respond immediately to Wang Leqing's request.

She was lost in thought, as if weighing the pros and cons. Wang Leqing beside her seemed a little nervous, fearing that she would be rejected again.

She hurriedly explained: "Ling'er, I understand that there is a generation gap between Rui'er and Li'er. From the perspective of the generation of relatives, they are not suitable. But Rui'er is actually younger than Li'er, and Rui'er really likes Li'er. Please give us a chance!"

Ouyang Miaoling thought for a long time before she spoke calmly, "Aunt, I don't care about seniority, but you also know that our Li'er may never wake up and will have to lie in bed for the rest of her life. I am selfish, and for the sake of my Li'er, I would rather she stay by my side for the rest of her life and I take care of her personally. I don't want someone else to marry her and then get annoyed and throw her aside, ruining the rest of her life."

Ouyang Miaoling paused and then spoke again: "Today, I will make it clear to my aunt. If you want to marry our Li'er, I have only one request, and that is to be together for the rest of our lives. If you can't do that, I would rather keep Li'er by my side for the rest of my life."

Wang Leqing did not expect Ouyang Miaoling to make such a demanding request. He was a little hesitant and didn't know how to make a decision for his son. Just when she was about to say that she wanted to go back and discuss it with Jun Rui, Jun Rui rushed in directly from outside the door.

He walked quickly to Ouyang Miaoling, knelt down with a plop, and then kowtowed heavily.

He said in a firm tone: "Princess...please rest assured and leave Li'er to me. I, Jun Rui, swear again today that I will never take a concubine in this life, and I will only be with Li'er for the rest of my life."

After he finished speaking, Wang Leqing's heart was filled with despair. He had not expected that his son loved her so deeply that he agreed to the princess's conditions without hesitation and even swore to the sky.

Now that it was irreversible, he had no choice but to firmly support his son's decision and quickly said to his son, "Princess...just agree to Rui'er. Considering the two children's mutual affection and Rui'er's infatuation, just fulfill the two children's wish, right?"

Ouyang Miaoling was really shocked by Jun Rui's behavior. She originally thought that this was the condition she proposed. In this era of male superiority and female inferiority, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. She thought that since she made such a harsh request, Jun Rui would definitely give up. However, she did not expect that Jun Rui agreed without hesitation.

Not only did he agree, he also swore in person that he would never marry again in this life and that he and Li'er would be together for the rest of their lives. As a modern person with a soul, she couldn't believe this.

Seeing that Ouyang Miaoling was still hesitant, Jun Rui continued to express his determination and said, "Please rest assured, my lord and princess, I will take good care of Li'er in this life and will never let her suffer any grievances. Even if she never wakes up, I am willing to accompany her for the rest of her life."
