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

After the words fell, there was deathly silence.

Xie Anning stared at him in disbelief, his face gradually turning pale.

"I did not mean that!"

Wang Shaofu panicked. He subconsciously grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... You made me so angry that I lost my mind and said nonsense."

"An Ning," he hugged her tightly, as if afraid she would run away. "No matter how angry you are with me, don't mention leaving. I know you are resolute and resolute, but you are not alone anymore. Think about our Wan'er, think about me, and the love we have had as husband and wife for more than ten years. How can you be so cruel!"

Waner.

Xie Anning came back to his senses in a daze.

It’s like escaping from a nightmare and returning to reality.

I remembered the purpose of my coming here.

It’s for Wan’er.

She looked at the food box that had fallen to the ground.

Wang Shaofu also followed her gaze, and then his expression froze.

"...You," he said, suppressing the trembling in his heart, his voice hoarse, "Are you here to bring me some glutinous rice balls?"

Xie Anning did not answer.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the food box on the ground, wondering what she was thinking about.

Thinking of this woman who has always been proud, she rarely took the initiative to make peace, but she encountered such an unbearable scene.

Wang Shaofu felt like he was going crazy.

"It's really not what you think. The door suddenly opened, and I thought it was a servant coming in. I couldn't bear to see her lose her innocence..." His face was full of regret, and he wanted to open his heart to prove his innocence. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have protected her just now."

Xie Anning listened quietly, then suddenly looked up at him, "Are you concerned about me misunderstanding you as not innocent?"

Physical "innocence" has nothing to do with a powerful man over 30 years old.

This should have been a ridiculous remark, but Wang Shaofu nodded very solemnly.

"Before, I was obsessed with wanting an heir, so I sent people into the backyard."

Wang Shaofu smiled bitterly and said, "But you don't know that I'm having a hard time too."

He could never forget the shock and disappointment in her eyes when he frankly told her that day that he had no intention of sending away the two concubines arranged by his mother.

Perhaps he already regretted it at that time.

However, he paid the price of breaking his promise to her, a price so great that it caused a rift in their marriage of more than ten years.

That was a rift that could not be mended even if he regretted it immediately.

So he had no choice but to go on.

After all, for such a huge price, he must get something.

For example, children.

But he still hesitated to take the next step.

The stalemate lasted until today, and he took advantage of his drunkenness to recruit a concubine.

Indeed, she was right.

When he ordered Wang Er to recruit people, he really intended to go all out.

In short, she was no longer willing to give him a good face.

Then he would try to see if he really had to have her.

He tried it and found the answer.

But God always seemed to play jokes on him.

The only time he was alone with his concubine, she caught him red-handed.

In her eyes, it was irrefutable evidence of her complete betrayal of her oath.

How did that happen.

Wang Shaofu's eyes were filled with bitterness. "Really, even if you hadn't come, I had no intention of doing anything to her. Today was truly the first time I met a woman from Jingshuyuan alone. I made a mistake once, but I didn't go all the way. Can you trust me for once?"

In fact, Xie Anning no longer wanted to argue with him about this matter at this moment.

She was only thinking about what she could do to help her daughter break off the engagement as she wished.

It can be seen that this man was so persistent in explaining, but he still couldn't help but sneer.

"If... I mean if..." She smiled and followed his words: "If you caught me hugging a naked man, could you believe that we are innocent?"

Wang Shaofu's expression froze.

"Look, if it were you, you wouldn't believe it either. Why do you keep trying to make me believe it?"

Xie Anning chuckled: "You are well-versed in the books of sages. Don't you understand the principle of not doing to others what you don't want done to yourself?"

She was rarely so full of thorns and sarcastic in every word.

Wang Shaofu had nothing to argue with, so he simply didn't mention it. He just looked at her steadily and said word by word, "No matter what, I will not agree to a divorce."

"..." Xie An Ning pursed her lips and slowly stopped smiling.

Before he could say anything, he spoke again.

"The relationship between us can only be husband and wife in this life."

"We will share the same bed in life and the same grave in death. Even if we end up being a couple with grievances, and we grow tired of each other and waste half our lives together, you must be buried in the Wang family's ancestral tomb as my wife, beside me."

Even though he spoke such almost paranoid words, this humble gentleman, who was highly praised by both the court and the public, spoke in a very calm tone, and even smiled slightly at Xie Anning, whose expression gradually became stiff.

"If you feel unhappy and want to vent your anger, just come to me and I will do whatever you want."

As he spoke, he tightened his arms around her, as if returning to their newlywed days, when he was still the same husband who patiently coaxed her. He smiled softly in her ear and said, "You can punish me for my momentary hesitation as you please for the next few decades. If that's not enough, then remember to take this with you to the grave, and we'll settle it slowly in our next life."

Xie Anning felt a chill down her spine when she heard the gentle tone. She pursed her lips and asked, "What if I insist on getting a divorce?"

"That won't do," Wang Shaofu's eyes dimmed. "An Ning, I know you have some affection for the imperial concubine in the palace, but even if His Majesty is here in person, there's no reason for you to interfere in the affairs of a minister."

Unless the ruler is unreasonable.

But their Majesty is a very generous and reasonable benevolent monarch. Even if he dotes on the imperial concubine, he would never ask an important official in the court to write a letter of divorce for no reason.

This will not only damage your majesty's own wisdom, but will also make the imperial concubine bear the stigma of disrupting the court order and misleading the emperor's mind.

He tightened his arms, "You are my wife, no one can force me to let go."

Even His Majesty cannot do that.

In fact, Wang Shaofu was just speaking harshly. In fact, the woman in his arms was so thin that he didn't dare to use too much force.

It was pitch black outside the door, and everything was quiet. Inside, the two people just hugged each other.

After a long while, Xie An Ning seemed to come to his senses, "Okay, I won't divorce."

Unexpectedly, she changed her mind so quickly. Wang Shaofu's tense heartstrings relaxed instantly. He kissed the neck of the person in his arms lovingly. Just as he was about to speak, Xie An Ning said, "But I won't let your mother bully me anymore."

"Let's move out," Wang Shaofu said without hesitation, "Take Wan'er with you, and the three of us will move out."

Xie Anning, who had once dreamed of moving out, did not feel very happy when he heard this.

She hummed and said, "As for Wan'er's marriage, you have to step forward and withdraw."

After the words fell, Xie An Ning looked up as he hadn't spoken to the person in front of him for a long time. He soon saw a pair of slightly narrowed eyes full of scrutiny.

When their eyes met, she was stunned and frowned, "You don't want to?"
