On the way back in the carriage, Madam Wenren shook her head: âThis girl, she looks just like her mother, so incredibly beautiful.â
Wenren Zong said, âIs it bad to be beautiful?â
âWhatâs the use? Sheâs already married to the Prince of Yu.â
âThe Prince of Yu has divorced her.â
âThirteen, donât trouble your mother. I know you canât possibly marry her. Sheâs carrying the child of the Prince of Yu; our Wenren Family would never stoop to that. Besides, His Majesty would never allow it.â Madam Wenren said.
Wenren Zong said, âMother should know that the Prince of Yu is the most powerful opponent of the King of Chen.â
âThatâs true, but⦠do we, the Wenren Family, really want to get involved in this? If we fail, the consequences would be unimaginable.â Madam Wenren shook her head slightly.
Wenren Zong said, âFrom the day you married Eighth Sister to the King of Chen, we, the Wenren Family, have had no choice.â
Madam Wenren sighed, âSpeaking of which, this girl from the Jiang Family would be quite a match for you. Itâs a pity we were a step late. With her situation⦠donât think about it.â
Wenren Zong said, âIf Prime Minister Jiang dares to marry her off, I dare to marry her.â
âDoes he dare?â
âWhy wouldnât he? Weâve already come out to meet each other, havenât we?â Wenren Zong said, âBy the time we left the teahouse, there had already been five groups of followers nearby. Those who should know probably already know.â
âSo, youâre really going to marry her?â
âSeventh Miss Jiang is as beautiful as a flower and has a gentle temperament, I think sheâs great.â
âBut sheâs been married and has a child.â
âMother, when you married father, didnât you also have Eldest Sister with you?â
Madam Wenren smiled and scolded, âYouâre good at poking at peopleâs wounds.â
âYour son wouldnât dare.â Wenren Zong sat up straight, looking serious, âI just think it doesnât matter. I believe Mother wouldnât think that a woman who has been married and had a child no longer has the right to marry again.â
âMy objection isnât because sheâs been married, nor is it because of her leg disability.â Madam Wenren said calmly, âI object because your motive is impure.â
Wenren Zong raised an eyebrow slightly.
Madam Wenren said bluntly, âYouâre not marrying her because you like her, but to help King Chen suppress Prince of Yu and to disgust Prince of Yu. I can understand your position as a courtier assisting King Chenâs plans, but you shouldnât gamble your own lifelong happiness for this. Itâs not fair to Seventh Miss Jiang either.â
Wenren Zong said, âMother, do you think that the Prince of Yu married Seventh Miss Jiang because he likes her?â
âItâs not my place to comment on what others do. But youâre my son, and thatâs why Iâm talking.â
âMother, youâve said that Seventh Miss Jiang is very good.â Wenren Zong said, âCan you be sure that the girl chosen for me at home would definitely be someone I like?â
Madam Wenren was speechless.
Of course, she couldnât guarantee that.
âBut youâre marrying her for your own purpose. Thatâs not good.â
âPurpose and liking are not necessarily conflicting.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âSince Seventh Miss Jiang is so good, why does Mother think that I wouldnât grow to like her in the future?â
âI canât win against you.â Madam Wenren snorted, âIf you have the courage, go ahead and marry her. Letâs see if the Prince of Yu can spare you.â
Wenren Zong smiled, âAs long as Mother agrees.â
âWhatâs there for me not to agree to? When you bring your wife home, itâs not like sheâll be living with me. This pampered girl from the Jiang Family wonât be easy to serve. Youâd better not regret it..â
