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

After a series of harsh words and hysterical roars, the house fell into dead silence.

The only sound was the sound of the wind hitting the window eaves.

Wang Shaofu closed his eyes, feeling powerless.

Always arguing.

Another quarrel.

He didn't want to argue with her at all.

Today he clearly felt sorry for her being wronged, and wanted to comfort her, just like every time before, and make her give in.

After all, they have to live their whole lives together and can't stay like this forever.

If she refuses to give in, then let him do it.

But why, they quarreled again?

Why is she always so aggressive? Why doesn't she just go down the stairs?

Why did she not listen to a single word he explained for so long?

How could their lives become like this?

Those past times of passionate love, affection and mutual devotion seemed to be illusions created in one's mind.

It's like an eternity.

Since returning to Beijing, over the past six months, the couple have rarely had harmonious moments when they are alone together.

Wang Shaofu sometimes even doubts himself, did those sweet and loving pasts really exist?

If he really existed, then the person in front of me... is he really the same person as before?

The Wang family is known as a clean family among the many aristocratic families in the capital. The family rules accumulated over a hundred years are not much less stringent than the palace rules.

As the eldest son carefully nurtured by the Wang family, Wang Shaofu has a handsome appearance, a humble and introverted temperament, and is gentle and polite. In the past, he was also a good son-in-law that noble ladies competed for.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a model of a noble family in the capital.

Even if it was a royal princess or a princess, he would be worthy of her.

But when he was young, he was wholeheartedly in love with this girl who came from a family of military generals.

He took great pains to marry the beautiful woman home, treating her like a treasure.

Over the years, I believe my love for you has never diminished in the slightest.

Even at this moment, when they were arguing fiercely and their relationship was almost exhausted, Wang Shaofu was still sure that he loved her.

Even though the woman in front of him was over thirty years old, fine lines began to appear at the corners of her eyes, her face was so haggard that no amount of makeup could hide it, and she was so thin that she couldn't even support a plain dress.

She has nothing left except her bad temper.

But no matter how angry or annoyed he was, he would still instinctively feel sorry for her and love her.

Young people’s love cannot be faked.

Wang Shaofu knew very well how important this woman was to him.

Just like now, he himself was filled with powerlessness and confusion, but he still couldn't walk away.

After a long silence, Wang Shaofu broke it.

He forced a smile. "I lost my composure. I'm sorry...but what I said was sincere."

"An Ning, calm down and think carefully about whether what I said makes sense."

"We are husband and wife, not enemies. I will not harm our daughter."

"I can even swear on my family, my career, and even everything I own to arrange a marriage for my daughter with the Yao family. There is absolutely no other consideration, and I am completely committed to my daughter's best interests."

He tightened his grip on her arm, his eyes filled with hope. "So, can you trust me?"

It’s not wrong for her to love her daughter, but she is also his only child, and his love for her is no less than hers.

Xie Anning didn't say anything.

Even though Wang Shaofu had long been accustomed to her stubborn attitude, he still felt helpless at this moment.

"Can we stop arguing? You've been tired all afternoon. Have you had your meal yet?"

He stretched out his arms and embraced her in his arms. He was surprised to find that her waist had become a little slimmer under his arms. Pity and love gradually rose in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh: "An Ning, when will you stop being so stubborn? I am your husband. What's wrong with you being gentle with me?"

Soft.

Xie An Ning smiled silently and wanted to ask him a question, but she still remembered that she had praised him before. What she loved most was her strong character, unlike the other noble ladies who were so gentle.

This is what a man is. He is so good when he loves you.

After changing one's heart, the qualities that one once loved the most have now become the things that one hates the most.

She broke free from his arms and twitched her lips gently, "The concubines in Jingshu Garden are all docile, so you can go wherever you want."

"...An Ning," Wang Shaofu said after a long silence, "Do you really have to do this?"

He gave her so many excuses and made her give in so many times.

Why does she always act so high and mighty? It's so hard for her to just lift her foot and step onto the stairs!

Because she is getting older and her appearance is no longer the same?

Or is it because she has nothing but her bad temper!

She just knew that he loved her, so even if she treated him coldly, he wouldn't do anything to her.

He did love her, but no matter how deep the feelings were, could they withstand being rejected and treated coldly several times?

At this moment, looking at his lover with a cold face who refused to listen to any soft or hard words, Wang Shaofu's heart gradually grew cold.

He stood there motionlessly, looking down at her for a long time. When he didn't get a reply from her, he suddenly sneered and turned away.

That smile seemed to be laughing at himself. At his age, he didn't think about his future career, but was still worried about the women in the back house.

What do you get in return?

Never understood, always treated with indifference.

The door opened and cold wind blew in.

The man walked away again.

But this time, Xie Anning didn't cry.

She sat down slowly and said to Peirong, who looked worried, "Ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of noodles."

"lady…"

"I'm fine, don't worry," Xie Anning smiled, "Go ahead."

…………

On the other side, Wang Shaofu walked out of the main courtyard. The cold wind kept blowing on his face, but it still couldn't extinguish the restlessness in his heart.

He repeatedly bent down to give in, but was always rejected. It not only hurt our feelings, but also hurt his self-esteem.

What did he do wrong?

It was simply because he was over thirty and had no children that he accepted the woman given to him by his elders.

She understood what it meant for a man with a bright future to be childless, but she couldn't understand him once.

Even though he promised that he would never favor his concubine over his wife, the women in the backyard would never affect her status.

He could even promise to completely dismiss all the concubines after having a child and continue to stay with her.

There will be no changes between them.

He just wanted a child.

As he wished, several women entered the backyard.

But to this day, he hasn't touched any of them.

Maybe it's because she didn't understand.

Wang Shaofu vaguely knew that if she didn't nod in agreement, once he touched those people, they would probably not be able to go back.

And now, he was burning with anger.

It was a fire that could not be extinguished even by the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Why do you keep arguing with me?

Why do you trample on my dignity so unscrupulously!

Do you really think I can only live with you?

Wang Shaofu's hurried steps suddenly stopped. He looked at the door of the study and turned his head to the follower behind him and said, "Go to Jingshu Garden and send someone over."

Wang Er, who had nearly bumped into his master's back, was a little surprised when he heard this, "Which concubine do you want?"

How would Wang Shaofu know which one to get?

He had never been to Jingshuyuan, and he didn't know how many concubines lived there, let alone what they looked like or what their names were.

He waved his hand impatiently, "You decide."
