Whether in ancient or modern times, there are always people who want to find a scapegoat because of family ties.

However, some people choose to find someone who doesn't want to get married but also wants to appease their family, reaching an agreement to do what the other should do. When both parties are aware of this arrangement, Wan Ge generally approves of it, as everyone has different choices and preferences in life.

But Wan Ge cannot accept the kind of behavior that involves deceiving girls' feelings, tricking them into becoming wives of gay men, and then tricking them into having children with one of the men, before trying to drive them away or even killing them.

What Wan Ge couldn't accept wasn't the wives of gay men, but the wives of gay men who had been deceived.

To put it another way, it's like a man who clearly has someone he likes and is with her, but for money or other reasons, he deceives another girl's feelings, cheating her out of money and her heart, and even causing her family to be ruined.

Those who deceive people in matters of the heart deserve a terrible death.

…

"Crown Princess, Her Majesty the Empress summons you to the palace." At this moment, a palace maid appeared in front of her.

Wan Ge knew why the Empress had summoned her to the palace, because the Empress was extremely anxious because they had been married for two years without having any children.

Moreover, in order to portray a character who is deeply devoted to her, the Crown Prince repeatedly refused the Empress's suggestion that he take a concubine.

In the end, the empress could only vent all her anger on the original owner, frequently forcing her to kneel in the palace as punishment.

This is equivalent to the original owner having to kneel in the palace again during the day after kneeling at night, only to be punished by the Empress.

Wan Ge quickly came up with a plan.

…

Two days after being reprimanded, Wange was summoned to the palace again for a reprimand, as usual. When she heard the Empress scolding her for being ignorant, Wange spoke up again.

"Please forgive me, Mother. My brother has been fighting on the frontier for many days, and my father is about to go to the frontier to provide support. I plan to go to Yunguang Temple to pray for my father and brother for two months. However, I just invited my cousin Jiqing to stay at the East Palace a couple of days ago. I don't know what to do."

Shu Jiqing, the Crown Prince's cousin and the Empress's niece, was the Empress's most favored concubine candidate.

Why is she called a concubine? Because originally, with her around, her family would support the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince needed other forces, so there was another candidate for the principal wife.

After the Crown Princess was born, she kept trying to find someone for the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince refused on many occasions, and the Crown Princess was also ignorant, which made her very worried.

I'm so happy that the other person has finally become sensible.

However, the Empress remained outwardly serious and did not show any particular enthusiasm: "Your father will surely be very happy with your filial piety. It is normal for you to worry about your brother. So, go and pray for blessings in peace. With such a large Crown Prince's residence, are you worried about no one taking care of Jiqing?"

"Yes, Mother. I'll make preparations and head to Yunguang Temple." Wan Ge's submissive manner revealed that the Empress did not actually like such a person.

He was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law; a daughter-in-law who wasn't domineering and was obedient was a good thing for the Crown Prince. It's just that he's too dense; he's only just realizing it now, and he didn't understand her previous hints.

The original owner wasn't actually ignorant; she just couldn't understand.

Although the original owner was the daughter of a general, the general was away fighting battles for many years. She was raised in seclusion and taught by a nanny who taught young ladies from noble families. Moreover, she had no father to support her from a young age, so she was naturally timid and cowardly.
