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

There is really no other way.

Xie Anning smiled bitterly.

Indeed, no matter how many letters he received when he was exiled from Beijing, he could still make up his mind. But after returning to Beijing, he was faced with his mother whom he had not seen for more than ten years, and his old father who was already very old but was still maintaining the prosperity of the family.

As the eldest son of the Wang family, Wang Shaofu really could no longer ignore his parents' wishes and be an unfilial son.

He loved her, and he had worked hard for this relationship for more than ten years, single-handedly resisting the urging of his family and the guidance of the world.

Even in the officialdom, his long-time allies and loyal subordinates all hoped that he would have a successor.

Offspring mean inheritance, and inheritance means the future.

No matter how strong a relationship is, it cannot be without a clear and promising future.

Only in this way can their friendship and power be passed on endlessly.

Moreover, being childless by the age of thirty is something that can be criticized for an official whose goal is to reach the pinnacle of civil service.

From any perspective, it is natural for him to have a son.

She just needs to take a step back.

Just one step.

But she was really stubborn and refused to give in.

Did it also give him a headache?

He disobeyed his parents, abandoned his family, and even went to the palace to report his unfilial behavior to the emperor.

Indeed, as Wang Shaofu said, he had nowhere to go.

Wang Yong said, "In theory, Madam, I have no right to comment on your actions, but seeing you like this makes me feel bad. Even if I have to take the punishment, I ask Madam to be merciful to you for the sake of our long-standing friendship."

…………

Xie Anning moved his lips, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

Wang Wu/Wang Yong said: "...I dare not!"

...It's not that I dare not, but that I am right.

Xie Anning remained silent, but soon felt relieved.

Wang Yong and Wang Wu were loyal to their master and felt indignant for him.

It’s the same as no matter what she does, Peirong will only stand on her side.

She doesn't need others' approval for what she does, as long as she has a clear conscience.

Regarding this relationship, Xie Anning asked herself honestly and decided that she had a clear conscience.

However, even when she thought about it this way, she still felt a little depressed when she looked at the man on the couch who was still holding her wrist tightly even after he fell asleep.

Humans are not plants or trees. They have known each other for more than just a day or a month.

Over the years, those feelings have long been integrated into each other's lives. They cannot be completely severed and there will be no fluctuations at all.

Even so, the cracks are already dense.

Why are we so obsessed with reconciliation?

For a smart man like him, couldn't he see that even if they forced themselves to get back together, they would never be able to regain the state of mind they had before?

They seem really different.

Once upon a time, Xie Anning thought that after sleeping in the same bed for more than ten years, she already knew the person next to her well enough, but now she felt that it was not enough at all.

She also witnessed her lover hugging another man. As an orphan with no one to rely on, she was able to make a quick decision and determined to divorce and return home rather than leave this unrecognizable lover.

When she has suffered enough pain, she will give up and break up.

But Wang Shaofu is not like that.

Even though she was completely disfigured and covered in cracks, he didn't give up on her because she had fallen in love with him physically and mentally.

It seemed that when it came to her, the word 'give up' would never appear in his decision making.

He wants it no matter what.

Time passed by little by little, and the door was closed at some point. Wang Yong and Wang Wu took the old doctor to boil medicine, and they were the only two left in the room.

The afternoon sun shines in through the window sill.

Xie Anning sat on the edge of the couch, head down, lost in thought, until her wrist was slightly gripped. She raised her eyelids slightly and found that the person sleeping on the couch had woken up at some point and was looking straight at her.

Those eyes were as dark as ink, and the implicit paranoia in them was not what a shrewd and calculating man in his thirties should have.

Even when she was a teenager, she had never seen him like this.

Xie An Ning had never been so confused before. "Wang Shaofu, which one is the real you?"

How could that handsome young man who was as gentle as jade and had a comfortable smile become the man who is as paranoid as a ghost and has no regard for his reputation.

The four words "dignity and respect" are engraved in the bones and blood of aristocratic families.

The Wang family is especially bad.

She acted so ruthlessly and said so many humiliating words to him that even a commoner with a bit of shame would find it hard to tolerate, but he still kept pestering her.

However, Wang Shaofu just smiled.

"It's always been like this."

He slowly stroked her delicate wrist with his thumb and said frankly, "I've always wanted you, but I was just too lucky to be by your side so early on that you couldn't see anyone else. When you first fell in love, it was natural for you to only be attracted to me."

He doesn't need to compete with anyone, he just needs to guard his beloved girl well, wait until she grows up to be graceful and ready to bloom, and then take her in his arms and take good care of her.

If things hadn't gone so smoothly, if she had glanced at someone else for a second while he was guarding her, he would have bared his fangs.

But it was so easy that after more than ten years, he forgot his initial fear and caution, and forgot that he had always wanted her...

In this relationship, he has always been obsessed with her!

And she has the courage to come again.

"An Ning," Wang Shaofu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you still remember the three-life agreement we made?"

A promise of three lifetimes...

Xie Anning's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Of course she remembered.

There is a temple in Xiahe County, Xuzhou. At the entrance of the temple stands a strange stone that is thousands of years old. It is very effective in seeking marriage and is called the "Three Lives Stone" by local people.

The temple is built on the top of a mountain with thousands of steps. To show their sincerity, lovers who go there to seek marriage walk up the mountain.

In the past, Wang Shaofu was exiled to serve as the governor of Xuzhou. Upon hearing such rumors in the counties under his jurisdiction, he took two days off and brought her to the county in person, just to seek a marriage for three lifetimes.

There are thousands of steps, and it is impossible for Xie Anning, a pampered lady, to walk up them.

After she had walked halfway, she felt tired and wanted to give up, but Wang Shaofu refused.

He carried her on his back for the rest of the way.

Just for the rumor of "the ultimate spiritual aid for finding marriage".

Even more than that, Young Master Wang, who has always believed that it is better to rely on oneself than on others and that everything depends on human efforts, is the most superstitious when it comes to matters like marriage.

During the years he was sent abroad, no matter where he was posted, whenever he heard of a holy place for seeking marriage, he would drag her there to pay a visit.
