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

"Yes!" Wang Er nodded hurriedly and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Just as he turned around, Wang Er was called again and hurriedly stopped, bowed and looked back to wait for orders.

Under the night sky, Wang Shaofu was silent for a few breaths and said, "Forget it, it's getting late."

Wang Er: “…Yes.”

Perhaps feeling that he had lost his dignity in front of his servants by going back on his word, Wang Shaofu's expression changed for a while. In the end, he said nothing, but just walked into the study alone.

Speaking of which, after returning to Beijing, some discord arose in their relationship.

From a loving couple with tender affection, they became just looking at each other with nothing but disappointment.

So most of the time, Wang Shaofu sleeps here.

I sleep alone every night.

Not without complaints...

He was exhausted from playing games with those old foxes in the court.

After returning home, he had to suffer from two pressures: on the left, there was his mother's urging for a child, and on the right, there was his wife's indifference and misunderstanding.

He always felt bored and uncomfortable when he returned home.

Wang Shaofu would rather be busy with state affairs and socialize with his colleagues than come back to face his mother's pressure and his wife's cold face.

That night, the couple tossed and turned until dawn finally brought them to a deep sleep.

…………

The next morning, after Wang Shaofu got up, he went to the main courtyard first.

No one knows what the mother and son said.

However, after Wang Shaofu left, one of the most beloved jade tea cups in Old Lady Wang's courtyard was broken.

After all, she is a capable aunt who has been exiled with her master for many years, and her abilities should not be underestimated.

What happened in the morning reached Xie Anning's ears in the morning.

At that time, she was in Jianxia Courtyard, talking to her daughter.

Upon hearing this, both mother and daughter's expressions froze.

Indeed, today Old Lady Wang suddenly became quiet and didn't call her over to serve him anymore.

Because why? It's obvious.

It must be Wang Shaofu who came forward and said something to his mother.

Every word he said last night seemed to still echo in my ears.

These are truly heartfelt words.

Xie Anning actually heard everything and gradually calmed down.

She believed his oath and his insistence on not allowing her to break off the engagement because he thought doing so would do her more harm than good.

In his opinion, the mother and daughter were just acting out of anger without considering the consequences.

But he was in the court and had long been accustomed to thinking ten steps ahead, planning and being cautious at every step. It was impossible for him to let his daughter break off the engagement because of a momentary impulse.

According to secular concepts, a girl who has broken off an engagement will always have to lower herself when she discusses marriage again.

It’s not that Wang Shaofu doesn’t love his daughter, but he firmly believes that he is doing this for his daughter’s good.

The root cause of their conflict is that men and women think differently.

Xie An Ning only hopes that her daughter can live a comfortable life in the future, even if her husband's family is of low status, it doesn't matter. So she only cares about whether her son-in-law's backyard is clean, whether he likes to go to places of entertainment, and whether he will have affairs with other women.

But for Wang Shaofu, these are nothing. After all, which man is not romantic?

What he values ​​more is his son-in-law's future, background, conversation, and talent.

This concerns the dignity of his daughter for the rest of her life.

After calming down, Xie Anning realized that none of them were actually wrong.

It's just that what they value is different.

Xie Anning calmed down and looked at his daughter.

Early this morning, Wang Shaofu sent a servant over to tell his daughter that she didn't need to copy the family rules and women's school books, and even asked the servant to bring a message of apology.

The father and daughter had indeed had a deep relationship over the past decade. Now that the father was willing to apologize, how could Wang Wan hold a grudge? Her resentment for being slapped immediately disappeared by more than half.

The remaining half almost disappeared after hearing that my father went to my grandmother to stand up for my mother.

She was painting when she heard Peirong's words and immediately put down her brush. She said happily, "I think my father must have heard what I said yesterday. He was afraid that it would hurt you, so he went to my grandmother and told her not to bully you again in the future."

The mother and daughter are now outside the courtyard, one is painting and the other is basking in the sun leisurely.

Half of my daughter's face, which had been slapped, was bathed in the sun. Although she had applied the best ointment, the redness and swelling were still faintly visible.

Even so, I was still surprised and delighted after hearing about my father's transformation.

Xie An Ning shook his head slightly, amused and annoyed, "Just now you were still saying that you would never forgive your father, why are you speaking up for him now?"

"This is different," Wang Wan also reflected on herself. What she said yesterday was indeed too disobedient.

Her eyes were filled with admiration. "I know Dad was just confused for a moment. He still has Mom and me in his heart."

How could the father-daughter relationship of more than ten years be completely destroyed by a slap?

Xie Anning looked at his daughter quietly, and the decision he had made last night began to waver again.

She wanted to ask her daughter if she was willing to go with her, but she found it difficult to bring herself to do so.

This is her daughter.

She is also their daughter.

As long as, as long as Wang Shaofu truly loves his daughter, she should not resolutely choose the path of divorce.

After all, Wan'er's identity as the eldest daughter of the Wang family is much better than that of the daughter of the Xie family.

Not to mention, if they divorced, she might not be able to take her daughter with her.

If that's the case, then if she goes back to the Xie family alone, she might never see her daughter again.

With a confused mind, Xie Anning left his daughter's courtyard.

It was the end of the year, and the mistresses of each household were very busy, calculating the year's accounts, distributing the regular silver, and countless small chores.

Also, she decided to divorce last night, and this morning she was preparing to count the dowry she had when she married into the Wang family.

In the hall, several aunts in charge assisted in the accounting, and Xie An Ning was only responsible for checking and calculating.

But she couldn't calm down.

Peirong, who was standing by, knew that her master was in a bad mood and could not help but whispered, "Husband and wife don't hold grudges overnight. Why don't you take the initiative to apologize to the master? He loves the glutinous rice balls you make the most. If you cook a bowl and send it to the study, he might just obey you in everything."

In Peirong's opinion, the two masters still had feelings for each other, but they just became cold to each other because of the issue of taking concubines for the sake of offspring.

When it comes to favors, no one can transcend them.

If their lady were to give in, even if there were a hundred more concubines in Jingshu Garden, it would not be able to shake her position.

How did it come to the point of divorce?

The Xie family was now empty. Returning to the Xie family would mean that she would go from being the eldest lady of the Wang family, surrounded by flowers and wealth, to becoming an abandoned woman over thirty years old and divorced for having no children.

It is no exaggeration to say that it fell from the clouds into the quagmire.

Xie Anning took these words to heart.

She listened to the last sentence.

"I might just listen to you about everything."

Turning to the last page of the account book in her hand, she looked out the window and said, "Go, make me some glutinous rice balls."
