She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Ever since he followed Shangguan Ziqi to the battlefield to serve as a military advisor and came back, he was rewarded for his good ideas.

After he came back, the emperor directly arranged him to be a Yuwenlang in the Ministry of War, promoting him from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.

The emperor even jokingly called him a villain among gentlemen.

He was already the third place in the imperial examination, so it was normal for him to be promoted to this position so quickly.

And there are not many literati who dare to go to the battlefield like him.

When many unengaged noble ladies in the capital learned that he was not married yet, they all started to make plans.

As a result, several families sent matchmakers to propose marriage to him, but he refused all of them and was given a reputation as an ungrateful person.

But he ignored what others said and just focused on doing his job.

Later, he bought a small house in Beijing and hired an elderly couple as servants, and then lived his life in a low-key manner.

Slowly, he came into people's attention.

He didn't come to visit the palace either.

As if he suddenly became invisible.

But Yu Yuanzheng knew that he would visit his adopted daughter whenever he had time, and would buy Xiao Yue'er a small gift every time.

In order to avoid suspicion, he never took the mother and daughter shopping.

Therefore, not many people in Beijing knew that he had an adopted daughter.

"Lord Zhong?" Yu Yuanzheng was surprised.

"Your humble servant greets the Princess Zhenguo." When Zhong Weiliang saw that it was Yu Yuanzheng who got off the carriage, he immediately stepped forward to greet her.

"Are you here to find your husband?" Yu Yuanzheng asked.

"No, I am here to ask the princess for help." Zhong Weiliang explained his purpose.

"Oh, then let's go into the mansion and talk."

Yu Yuanzheng led him to Shangguan Ziqi's study in the outer courtyard.

The two sat down.

"Has Lord Zhong encountered any difficulties?" Yu Yuanzheng asked in a gentle voice.

"Princess, it's not difficult. Yes, yes..." Zhong Weiliang was a little restrained.

"Is Sister Ru in trouble?" Yu Yuanzheng saw that he was in trouble and wondered if it was about Sister Ru.

"She didn't encounter any difficulties. It was me who proposed to her, but she refused." Zhong Weiliang blushed in embarrassment.

When he said this, Yu Yuanzheng remembered that Sister Ru insisted on observing mourning for her biological mother, and the mourning period happened to be over this year.

Time flies so fast, three years have passed in a flash.

She was really derelict in her duty. She neglected it even though she knew Zhong Weiliang was always taking care of Sister Ru.

"Oh, you should know Sister Ru's personality. She sticks to the rules. I guess because she is divorced, she doesn't dare to accept you, an outstanding man born in the third place. Maybe she feels that she is not worthy of you, so she refused."

"But, I have already said that I don't mind her divorced status, but she refused to respond. I have already visited her three times with no success.

Therefore, I have come to ask the princess to come forward and persuade her. I am deeply grateful."

As he spoke, Zhong Weiliang stood up and bowed deeply to Yu Yuanzheng.

"Okay, okay." Yu Yuanzheng agreed immediately.

"Thank you princess."

After dinner, Yu Yuanzheng was about to go to the embassy, ​​but she had to send someone to tell Edward that today's language class would be suspended for the afternoon.

Then he took the three children to where Shangguan Ru lived.

After Shangguan Ru came back from Mingyang County, she bought a small house with two entrances in the Xicheng District of the capital to live in. She also bought two shops in the capital to continue her cloth business, and also sold some embroidery to the middle and lower class people.

The business was neither good nor bad, but it was enough to support the mother and daughter.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and the gatekeeper was the old man given to Shangguan Ru by the princess.

As soon as he saw that it was Yu Yuanzheng coming down, he hurried forward.

"This humble servant greets the Crown Princess."

"Is Sister Ru at home?"

"Yes. I'll go in and report right away."

Yu Yuanzheng carried the children out of the carriage one by one.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Shangguan Ru running out of the inner courtyard in a hurry.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?

"Oh, the three babies are here too." Shangguan Ru stepped forward excitedly.

I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time. She is a widow and it's not convenient to visit her.

When she saw him, she warmly hugged Dabao and kissed him on the face.

"Hello, Auntie." The three children shouted in unison.

"Good, good, good. The three children have grown so big and are all so strong. Not bad, not bad. Come on, go in with auntie. Yue'er is here too."

It happened that today was a day off, so I didn't send her to the girls' school.

Shangguan Ru sent Yue'er to the Shangguan family's clan school when she was five years old.

After entering the inner courtyard, Yu Yuanzheng saw Xiao Yue'er writing big characters in the main hall.

That serious little look is admirable.

"Yuer, look who's here?" Shangguan Ru put Dabao down and led him into the hall.

Xiao Yue'er then raised her head and saw her mother holding a child.

After a long time, she no longer recognized them, and the three babies had grown up a lot.

But she still remembers Yu Yuanzheng.

"Aunt." Xiao Yue'er excitedly threw down her pen and ran forward.

She knew that her and her mother's lives had become better since she met her uncle and aunt.

The little heart remembers this matter clearly.

"Yuer." Yu Yuanzheng caught the little body that ran over. Although she was over five years old, Yu Yuanzheng picked her up immediately.

"Do you miss your aunt?"

"Yes. Yue'er hasn't seen her aunt for a long time."

"It's my fault, aunt. Whenever I have time, I will come often to check on our Yue'er to see if she has grown taller, is eating well, and is studying well."

"Come down quickly, be careful not to tire your aunt out." Shangguan Ru said with a smile.

Only then did Yue'er reluctantly get off Yu Yuanzheng.

"Cousin." The three babies shouted in unison. On the way here, their mother had already reminded them to bring their cousin to play with them.

"Yuer, take your younger brother and sister to play in the yard. Mom will talk to your aunt for a while." Shangguan Ru sent the child away.

When Yu Yuanzheng came to her house at this time, she knew that she had something to talk to her about.

She also knew that Yu Yuanzheng was very busy and her time was precious.

She heard everything Yu Yuanzheng had done from Zhong Weiliang.

Yu Yuanzheng asked Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi to look after the child in the yard.

There were many games that the three children could play, and soon the four children were having a great time in the yard.

"Sister Ru, I came here today because someone asked me to have a heart-to-heart talk with you." Yu Yuanzheng did not beat around the bush.

Shangguan Ru wasn't surprised at all. She knew who had invited her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a divorced woman, how can I be worthy of Master Zhong? You don't have to persuade me on this matter. He deserves a better woman. I can't use this to repay a favor."

Shangguan Ru looked like she had made up her mind and didn't want to negotiate at all.

"Sister Ru, do you want the Zhong family to be extinct?" Yu Yuanzheng took drastic measures directly.

Sister Ru was taught by the third wife to be too obedient and too kind.

Always think about others and never think about yourself.

Then let her feel deeply guilty and see if she can still uphold the so-called three obediences and four virtues of this era.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Shangguan Ru was stunned when she heard it.

"Do you know why Lord Zhong went to the battlefield to be your eldest brother's military advisor?"

Shangguan Ru widened her eyes and shook her head.

"Because he wants to get promoted quickly so he can give you a better life and earn you a good job.

He has no family anymore. In his heart, you and your daughter are his family.

But you insisted on observing mourning for your biological mother, so he silently protected you and your daughter until you were done with the mourning period before proposing to you.

But you've blocked his true feelings from your heart, and he's only set his sights on you. If you don't marry him, he won't marry another. You're simply cutting off the Zhong family's lineage."

After Yu Yuanzheng finished speaking, Shangguan Ru was completely dumbfounded.

how so.
