The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

This time, it was very different from the previous time.

The girl in front of him had pale lips and a thin body, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Inexplicably, he felt a little guilty.

This is his future wife.

A wife is equal to you.

No matter how many women he has, she is the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Thinking of this, Yao Yushu stood up, a hint of apology showing on his face at the right time, and said ashamedly: "It's my fault. I caused the young lady to suffer injustice."

Wang Wan ignored him and was helped to a seat by Nanny Qian. She then raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "Master Yao, have you come here today to apologize?"

Yao Yushu nodded and said, "I have let you down in this matter, young lady. I will give you an explanation."

Wang Wan picked up the teacup, glanced at him with a half-smile, and pretended to listen attentively.

Yao Yushu just thought that she was still aggrieved and was trying to take advantage of her.

These are the tricks women use in the house.

He sneered inwardly, but his face was full of apology. "Xu Shi has committed a serious crime. Once she enters the mansion, you can deal with her as you wish. I have no objections. In addition..."

Yao Yushu smiled slightly and said softly, "I promise that I will not allow any illegitimate children to be born in the backyard until I am over thirty."

He is the eldest son of the Yao family and bears the heavy responsibility of having offspring. He can make such a promise. No matter how great the injustice he has suffered, he should let it go.

However, when Wang Wan heard this, her face remained calm.

She put down the teacup in her hand, looked up at him, and said lightly: "That's it?"

Her tone was cold, without any shyness of a young girl meeting her fiancé.

Yao Yushu frowned slightly, remained silent for a few breaths, and then asked tentatively: "...Are you angry and unwilling to let Xu come in?"

Without waiting for Wang Wan's reply, he continued, "I made a promise to her, and it's hard to break it. Even if she made a mistake, I won't give her the title of a concubine. She's just a concubine. If you're not satisfied, you can punish her later..."

"Wait, no matter whether you promised Xu, Zhang, or Li, what I mean is," Wang Wan was too lazy to say anything more to him, so she simply said bluntly: "If you want to make amends, then you must promise not to have a single concubine in the backyard."

...You can't have even one concubine.

Yao Yushu suspected that he had misheard, "What did you say?"

"I am very narrow-minded and cannot tolerate my husband having concubines in his backyard, even if they cannot bear children," Wang Wan said. "If you agree, then we can sign a document and the marriage can go ahead. If you don't agree, then our marriage will be cancelled."

"Ridiculous!" Yao Yushu stood up suddenly. "Young lady, do you know what you are talking about?"

Wang Wan remained calm and said, "Of course I know."

"Then do you know how unorthodox your words are?"

Wang Wan continued to nod.

That calm expression made his suddenly changed face look a little ridiculous.

Yao Yushu's face turned completely cold. "What kind of man has only one wife and no concubines? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me, young lady?"

"I dare not embarrass you, sir," Wang Wan said calmly, "If you can't do it, we can call off the marriage."

It's absolutely ridiculous.

"You must be dreaming," Yao Yushu laughed in anger. "Your father hasn't taken a concubine in many years, which is rare in the capital. And now he has several beautiful concubines in his room. How dare you ask such a thing of me?"

Even if they are childhood sweethearts, when the wife grows old and ugly and has difficulty having children, they will still take a concubine.

It was ridiculous that she dared to ask him to make such a promise given their family marriage.

The relationship between her parents was the biggest pain in Wang Wan's heart. After hearing the man's mocking words, her expression turned cold. "Get out."

Yao Yushu narrowed his eyes and carefully examined his fiancée, whom he had only met twice.

As expected, she resembles her mother. It is said that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was also a proud person.

But now he is just curled up in the backyard.

A woman who is chaste, quiet, and well-mannered is a good wife. Such a proud heart that is higher than the sky...

Yao Yushu smiled coldly, "Our marriage has been decided, and there will be no changes. I hope you will study harder as a woman, and don't bring shame to the reputation of the Wang family's women."

The girl from the Wang family is well-known in the capital for her virtue, generosity, courtesy and dignity.

After saying that, he turned and left.

They parted ways on bad terms before they even got married.

Wang Wan's face turned pale with anger. She looked at Aunt Qian beside her and asked blankly, "Aunt, did I do something wrong?"

Madam Qian said, "According to current thinking, you are indeed wrong, but your life is your own. If you don't think you are wrong, then it's not wrong."

Of course, Wang Wan didn't think she was wrong, but she also knew that if she wanted to cancel the Yao family marriage, she had to get her father's approval. Otherwise, if she relied on her mother alone, she would probably be unable to turn the situation around.

…………

As a close minister of the emperor, Wang Shaofu was so busy every day that he didn't even come home for lunch. When he returned home to pay his respects at the main courtyard at dusk, he heard from his mother that the Yao family had come to apologize.

He was angry that his future son-in-law hadn't dealt with his romantic affairs properly, and let that concubine get her hands on his daughter.

However, the Yao family's attitude of apology was indeed sincere.

Especially since he promised that he would not allow a concubine's son to be born until he was over 30 years old, as a father, Wang Shaofu's anger disappeared completely.

I am just a lowly concubine, and you can do whatever you want with me in the future.

The promise was that after the daughter got married she would not have to worry about the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children, and she would live a more comfortable life, which was the real benefit.

Old Lady Wang's eyes flashed with disgust. "In my opinion, the Yao family's attitude was quite good, but Mrs. Xie didn't show any smile today. It's really unlucky to see her like that."

"Mother," Wang Shaofu said helplessly, "An Ning only has one daughter, and now she has suffered an unexpected disaster. How can she be happy when she sees the culprit?"

"Just protect her and see if she'll remember your kindness," Old Lady Wang snorted coldly. Suddenly, she changed the subject and said, "It's been several months. How come none of the concubines in your room are happy?"

As she spoke, she looked her son up and down, a look of suspicion on her face, "You wouldn't..."

"Having offspring depends on fate. Perhaps the time has not come yet," Wang Shaofu said calmly as he stood up. "It's getting late. Mother, go to bed early. I won't disturb you."

As they walked out of the main courtyard, the servant behind them, having received instructions from Old Madam Wang, whispered, "Master, which concubine from Jingshu Garden would you like to serve you tonight?"

Wang Shaofu glanced at him indifferently, which made the servant feel cold up his spine.

Big house, main courtyard.

Xie Anning was having dinner when she saw her husband, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, coming over. She didn't even stand up.

Wang Shaofu didn't mind. He washed his hands and sat down at the table.

The servants had already added more dishes and chopsticks.

He had only taken two bites when the people around him put down their bowls and chopsticks and got up to leave.

Looking at the small amount of corn left in the bowl, Wang Shaofu felt a slight lump in his throat.

He also put down his bowl and chopsticks, followed him into the inner room, and asked the servants who were serving there to leave.

After receiving the master's signal, Peirong bowed slightly and led several maids out.

The moment the door closed, Wang Shaofu reached out and began to unbutton his collar.

One, two...

Xie Anning frowned slightly, "What is the master doing?"

"Of course, we should do what husband and wife should do." Wang Shaofu had had enough of her ignoring him. He smiled faintly and said, "If my wife is any more indifferent, I will forget that you and I are still husband and wife."

They were in love when they were young and had a very sweet time.

When love is strong, we say a lot of ridiculous things and do a lot of ridiculous things.

At that time, Xie An Ning only felt sweetness and joy, but now when she thinks back on it, she only feels a blockage in her heart.

The more beautiful the memories, the more suffocating they are.

Hearing this, she only felt humiliated.
