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

Wang Yushi Mansion.

After the couple parted unhappily that night, Wang Shaofu did not set foot in his wife's courtyard for several days.

He is too busy.

Although the Wang family has been rooted in the capital for a hundred years, with flourishing branches, a network of relatives and friends, and a deep foundation, Wang Shaofu has been exiled for more than ten years and does not have a good understanding of the official system in the court.

Once he returned to Beijing, he had a lot to do.

A man over thirty should no longer be obsessed with love affairs.

He should take over his father's baton and carry the burden of the family on his own shoulders, especially when the current emperor does not like to employ people from aristocratic families, but obviously has high hopes for him. This is such a rare and precious appreciation.

He supported Yulong and died for the emperor. He would devote his life to it and would never let the emperor down. He vowed to repay the emperor's grace until his death.

He was very busy during this period. Every day he was either busy with court affairs or attending banquets and social events with colleagues.

He numbed himself with busyness, trying to escape the fact that the relationship between husband and wife was becoming increasingly strained.

However, since there was a dispute, how could he really not care at all?

In the busy intervals, that haggard face still appears in my mind.

Every time this happened, Wang Shaofu felt upset.

always like this.

Over the years, whenever there was a conflict between them, he was always the first to give in.

He went to apologize and comforted people in a gentle voice.

Yes.

She, Xie Anning, is the daughter of General Xie, who was raised in the palm of his hand and spoiled. She is proud and arrogant, so there is no need for her to bow her head.

Even though the Xie family had no successor and had long since fallen into decline, and she no longer had the support of the General's Mansion, and all her dignity and respect now came from the Wang family, she still couldn't learn to bow her head and coax him.

She didn't know that the only ones she could rely on now were him and the Wang family.

She was so proud that she refused to bend for him once.

Not even once!

…………

study.

Wang Shaofu, who was on vacation at home today and did not go out for social events, frequently looked out the window.

It's past noon.

The news that he was at home was quietly passed to the main courtyard early in the morning.

If she wanted to ease the relationship between them, she should have come here earlier.

He can't always be the one to give in.

Can't she just lower her head for once!

Even if it’s for the sake of their years of relationship!

But after waiting for so long and looking up for who knows how many times, Wang Shaofu couldn't help it first.

He put down the pen in his hand, opened the door, and walked out with big strides.

Follower Wang Er followed closely behind, "Master, are you going to leave the house?"

"No! Go..." Wang Shaofu was still unwilling to give in. He changed the subject and said, "Let's go to Jianxia Courtyard and see Wan'er."

It has been several days since she fell into the water. Wang Wan's health has gradually improved and she can get out of bed and walk without any problem.

She should have gone to the palace to express her gratitude, but the weather was getting colder day by day, the coldness in her body had not yet dissipated, and she still had a slight cough.

In order to avoid passing the disease to the nobles in the palace, he planned to recuperate for a few more days.

The sun was shining brightly at this moment, so Wang Wan moved a bench into the courtyard and basked in the warm winter sun.

Seeing her father coming, her eyes lit up, she knelt down and saluted, saying happily, "Daddy is here."

Not counting the changes after returning to Beijing, their father-daughter relationship was actually very deep during the more than ten years they were exiled.

Seeing that his daughter's complexion had regained some of its rosiness, unlike the pale complexion of the past few days, Wang Shaofu's depressed mood also improved.

After asking about his daughter's health, he glanced around, expressionless, and said, "The weather is so nice today, why didn't your mother come to accompany you?"

"..." Wang Wan was silent for a moment, her voice lowered. "Ah Niang came to have lunch with her daughter today, but after lunch, Nanny Zhou from Grandmother's household came and said that Grandmother had a headache and asked A Niang to take care of her."

Headache…

Wang Shaofu's expression was slightly stagnant.

He has been at home all day. If his mother really had a sudden headache, it is impossible that no one would come to inform him.

Therefore, taking care of the sick is fake, and the real purpose is to specifically ask the daughter-in-law to set the rules.

"Daddy..." Perhaps it was her father's concern that reminded Wang Wan of the joyful laughter of the three of them in the past. She couldn't help but ask, "Grandma is deliberately making things difficult for Mother. Why are you..."

"Stop talking nonsense about your elders and speaking without restraint!"

Wang Shaofu's eyes darkened, and he interrupted his daughter's nonsense with a solemn voice, "You have reached the age of marriage, a grown woman, and are about to get married. Being rude and talkative is one of the seven reasons for divorce. Didn't your mother teach you that?"

The harsh rebuke made Wang Wan's face turn pale in an instant, and she could no longer say what she had not finished.

Seeing his daughter like this, Wang Shaofu's expression softened slightly.

"When a woman marries, no matter whose family she marries into, she must serve her mother-in-law. Serving the elders of her husband's family is a matter of course. You should do the same when you marry into the Yao family in the future. Don't tarnish the good reputation that my daughter of the Wang family has accumulated in the capital for many years."

These words should be said by a mother to her daughter.

And his family...

Wang Shaofu sighed inwardly and said, "Tomorrow my father will ask your grandmother to find two foster nurses for you. You should learn the rules well, otherwise..."

"My daughter won't marry!"

Hearing all the rules and regulations on the left and the ways of being a wife on the right, Wang Wan could no longer hold back and loudly retorted, "If getting married is so bad, then why should I marry into my husband's family and suffer hardships and serve his elders? Especially when Yao Jia Dalang is such a person, I won't marry him!"

The girl spoke frankly about her marriage, and in such a perverse and naughty way. Wang Shaofu's face changed, "But what did your mother tell you?"

"What does it have to do with my mother? I don't want to get married myself. The eldest son of the Yao family is not a good man. Before we even get married..."

"Alright," Wang Shaofu lowered his voice. "Why dwell on this? Although Yao Yushu's unauthorized promise of a concubine was indeed inappropriate, the Yao family's apology for this matter has already taken your dignity into consideration."
