Not long after that meeting, an imperial decree arrived from the palace, marrying Wen Ruyu, the second eldest daughter of the Wen family, to Lin Zhongyi, the prefect of Yongning Prefecture.

For a noblewoman from a prominent family, Lin Zhongyi's current status is still somewhat low.

No matter how outstanding he is, his family's heritage is far inferior to that of other prominent families.

The daughter of a high-ranking official certainly wouldn't want to marry off such a poor boy.

Ordinary families wanted to marry into Lin Zhongyi's family, but they couldn't act as quickly as the Crown Prince.

Now, Lin Zhongyi has only been in the capital for a short time, but he is already engaged to the second daughter of Minister Wen's family.

It should be noted that Minister Wen's eldest daughter married the Crown Prince and became the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess's aunt is the current Empress.

If the Crown Prince can successfully ascend the throne, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, now the Crown Princess, will have a very high chance of becoming the new Empress.

Therefore, the Wen family's influence in the capital should not be underestimated.

By marrying the second young lady of the Wen family, Lin Zhongyi will definitely avoid many detours and quickly gain a foothold in the capital.

Wen Ruyu's expectation for the future is that she and her husband can treat each other with respect.

But after she got married, she discovered that her husband was not as polite and courteous as he appeared on the surface.

He was an outgoing and confident person at heart, and also a romantic at heart. He would even pick fresh flowers from the roadside to give to her after court.

When we pass by the market, I bring her some freshly baked pastries.

When she goes out, she always tells someone to let her know, and she has never made her worry or feel uneasy.

When I go out drinking with my colleagues, I always stop when I'm drunk, and I've never come back drunk.

They also sternly refused the beautiful women that court officials wanted to bring into their households, stating that they would only have her as their wife for the rest of their lives and had no intention of taking concubines.

Wen Ruyu really couldn't understand why such a good man, who was always accountable and had only her in his heart, had fallen into her hands.

Those noble ladies from wealthy families outside are now kicking themselves.

Who would have thought that the charismatic and powerful Lord Lin in the imperial court would be such a kind and understanding husband at home?

Although her husband was born into a farming family, he had never done farm work.

I was pampered by my family from childhood to adulthood, and I never did any heavy work or even went into the kitchen.

But when she had menstrual cramps, her husband would personally make her brown sugar water.

When she's sick, I make her sweet treats so she can quickly get rid of the bitterness in her mouth after drinking her bitter medicine.

When she was pregnant, I would try to come home as early as possible every day to be with her.

He scrutinized every aspect of her diet and daily life, and showed no mercy to those scheming young girls.

In her husband's heart, she was more important than anyone else; he would rather be late for court than let her get up early.

Moreover, since the two got married, the father has deliberately kept his distance from women.

Only she, as his wife, could touch her husband's body; he never even glanced at other women.

Wen Ruyu felt that she must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune to have met such a perfect husband.

The more considerate her husband was to her, the more rumors spread that he was afraid of her.

They clearly have a harmonious relationship, and she's not the kind of shrew who throws tantrums.

But those women outside are just jealous of how good her husband is to her, and only to her.

So she kept fabricating rumors in an attempt to smear her husband's image.

She always manages to make herself incredibly angry, but unfortunately, her husband doesn't care about the rumors at all.

Every time she brought it up, her husband would just smile and tell her not to worry about it.

Wen Ruyu just couldn't understand why her usually gentle and considerate husband would be so rough in bed.

It was as if he had become a different person, and he always made her feel sore all over.

But after the incident, her husband returned to his gentle and considerate self.

Moreover, their sexual activity wasn't too frequent. Her husband always said it was because he was worried about her health, as every time a woman gives birth, it causes enormous damage and torment to her body.

Unfortunately, even though her husband deliberately reduced the frequency of intercourse, her body was still too prone to pregnancy.

After giving birth to her third child, her husband took some kind of medicine, and she never got pregnant again.

Logically, this medicine should be taken by women, but her husband, being considerate of her hardships, resolutely refused to let her touch it.

Wen Ruyu was moved once again. Everyone said that her sister had married the Crown Prince and that the couple was living in harmony and happiness.

However, Wen Ruyu felt that although His Highness the Crown Prince was outstanding, he still had four or five concubines in his household.

My sister must be feeling terrible!

Although she married an official from a humble background, she couldn't resist her husband's talent. He not only gained a firm foothold in the court but was also incredibly skilled in business.

Moreover, you won't find another person in the entire capital who treats you like your husband does.

Not to mention the entire capital, you won't find another like it in the entire Yuan Dynasty.

Once others enter the court, they all try every means to climb the ranks.

Her husband was different from others in one way: he thought about how to get the emperor to agree to let him retire and return to his hometown!

She's only 45 years old, yet she's already submitted her resignation multiple times.

This is something that not only Wen Ruyu cannot understand, but even the Wen family behind Wen Ruyu cannot figure out.

Is there really anyone in this world who doesn't love power?

Fortunately, the Emperor did not allow his husband to resign early, and Wen Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief. At least until his child grew up, with his father watching over him, nothing serious would happen.

Moreover, when it came to the children's education, her husband, who should have been a strict father, showed even more affection than she did.

He doesn't care if the children don't do their homework seriously, and even says that there are many paths to success.

Did you think everyone could achieve what they have today through their own hard work?

With no other option, Wen Ruyu had to take on the role of a strict mother herself.

Otherwise, I'm really worried that my little one will be spoiled by his father.

Lord Lin, who commands respect in the imperial court, is a kind-hearted man at home who dotes on his wife and children, is filial to his elders, and cares for his brothers.

Wen Ruyu felt that she must have been a good person who had cultivated for ten lifetimes. The little shadow brought on by her elder sister in her childhood had long since disappeared in the love and care of her husband and in-laws.

She was so happy in her life, it almost felt unreal.

But looking at her gentle husband and vibrant family, she had to admit that there was such a perfect man in the world, and that man was her husband.

Even in death, her husband would die after her.

My husband once said that those who leave last always have to bear more. He couldn't bear to be sad, and he didn't want to suffer the pain of separation.

So Wen Ruyu died at the age of fifty-nine.

She passed away peacefully, knowing that the person she trusted most was lying next to her!
