Chapter 257 Come on, let's continue eating melons

Looking at the two pairs of confused eyes, Han Dewang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed and spoke slowly.

"Princess Zhaoyang, Master Lianjin, to be honest, my wife is originally from India, and our family has been doing business for generations."

"Her family business is huge, but since her father took over the family business, he has become uncontrollably addicted to gambling and has been getting deeper and deeper into it."

"He gambled away all the huge family fortune, but her father was not satisfied and wanted to continue gambling, vowing to win back all the family fortune he lost."

"It just so happened that my wife had just reached the age of marriage. She was as beautiful as a flower, and there were countless people who came to propose marriage to her. Therefore, Father Lu set his sights on my wife."

Speaking of this, Han Dewang became very angry.

"Father Lu is a piece of shit. He wants to sell his daughter for fame and fortune. He treats my wife like a commodity and will let her marry whoever offers the highest betrothal gift."

"My wife has a pity for me. Her biological mother died young, and it was not easy for her to live under the care of her stepmother. If it weren't for the fact that her stepmother would not have competed with her son for the family property because she was a girl, she might have been disposed of long ago."

Han Dewang was filled with heartache. "Madam is a weak woman, she lost her biological mother, is not favored by her father, and has no grandparents to support her. Even if she is unwilling, she cannot go against the decision made by Father Lu."

Luo Ranran expressed deep sympathy.

[Mrs. Han is truly pitiful. She lives in a home where she can't rely on anyone and can only be at the mercy of others. 】

Han Dewang: ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas!

"Later, a minister from the Kingdom of Tianzhu took a fancy to my wife's appearance and promised Father Lu that if he married my wife to him, he would give him a small official position and a generous betrothal gift."

Naituanzi couldn't help but sneer, "Then Father Lu must be so happy that he can't wait to marry Madam Han to the minister?"

Han Dewang's eyes were gloomy and he nodded slightly.

"Princess Zhaoyang guessed correctly, and Father Lu agreed to marry his wife to him on the spot, but the problem is..."

Han Dewang couldn't suppress his anger, his hands creaked from being squeezed, which showed that he was deeply resentful.

"The problem is that the minister is about the same age as Lu's father, and he has many wives and concubines at home. He did not marry the lady as his wife, but took her as a concubine."

"Also, that minister is a notoriously vicious and violent person in Tianzhu. None of the girls he took into his mansion could survive more than three years."

"He had a sinister temperament and loved to torture his concubines. Many girls were tortured to death by him. Even their wounded bodies were thrown into a mass grave by his servants. He was truly insane and worse than beasts."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ranran was so angry that she bared her baby teeth.

"Damn, this is the first time I've encountered such a cruel and inhuman beast. Is he still alive now?"

[If he were still alive, I wouldn't mind enforcing justice by killing this beast. 】

Han Dewang looked at the angry little boy, his heart softened and all the hostility in his body disappeared.

He reached out and touched the two little tufts of hair on the little boy's head, "Princess, I heard that the beast died of a stroke not long after. He really deserved it."

It was a good thing for him to die like this.

"Is there going to be a breeze?" Naituanzi blinked.

Is that what she was thinking?

[Well, a man and a woman were fighting, and in the end the man couldn't bear the weight and died suddenly on the spot? 】

"Cough cough..." Han Dewang's old face turned red and he almost choked to death on his own saliva.

It’s all his fault. He kept saying nonsense and made the little princess think too much.

He really deserves a beating!

Han Dewang slapped himself hard on the mouth. The sound was extremely loud and painful to hear.

Luo Ranran hissed, very confused.

"General Han, why did you suddenly hit yourself?"

[Could it be that the brain has been stimulated and started to behave abnormally? Or do you regret not meeting Madam Han earlier? 】

Han Dewang: “…”

"Ahem, Princess, you are still young, I really shouldn't talk so much to you."

Naituanzi's eyes widened, and he said anxiously, "No, you must tell me. This princess doesn't even know the whole story yet~"

[Isn't it disgusting to only eat half of the melon? 】

GuaGua System: [+1]

Lian Jin: ...+1

Han Dewang couldn't help but shrink his neck. He clearly felt the resentful aura from the two little guys.

Forget it, what else can I do?

Keep talking!

"Fortunately, my mother-in-law, who had passed away long ago, left my wife with a loyal nanny."

"Knowing that entering the minister's backyard would mean a dead end, the nanny could not care less. On the surface, she asked my wife to pretend to agree to this matter, but in fact she was secretly planning to escape."

"She said: Rather than committing suicide, it is better to find a way to survive."

"But since my wife didn't have much money, I asked her to act nice and ask for money from Mr. Lu under the pretext of preparing a dowry."

"As soon as they got the money, they worked in perfect harmony and immediately fled to Tianqi Country with a small group of people. They found a remote village and hid their identities."

Luo Ranran exclaimed, it sounded so exciting, "General Han, then, keep going~"

Han Dewang smiled helplessly, "Then, my wife and Nanny depended on each other for life. When she was 24 years old, she met me, and we fell in love at first sight!"

"In less than a year, we were married. Unfortunately, Madam was in poor health and passed away a year after we got married."

Han Dewang was filled with sorrow and grief.

The nanny treated the couple as if they were her own children. He respected her very much and wanted to take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life.

It’s a pity that time waits for no one.

Luo Ranran blinked and used a baby voice to comfort Han Dewang, whose eyes were red.

"General Han, birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature. Madam has had a hard life in this life, but in the next life, you will be reborn into a good family and live a peaceful and happy life."

Han Dewang's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Princess, for your kind words."

The princess is not an ordinary person, what she said must be true.

Fearing that Han Dewang would continue to be immersed in grief, Luo Ranran hurriedly changed the subject, "General Han, your wife has already changed her name, why did her scumbag father and concubine sister come to your house?"

Han Dewang sighed, feeling extremely guilty.

"It's all my fault for being too self-righteous. I thought my position would protect Madam, so I asked her to use her real name, thinking that even the Lu family wouldn't dare to cause trouble for her easily."

"But I underestimated the greed and evilness of human nature. They just found out about the whereabouts of the lady through the merchants of Apocalypse, and then they came here following the scent."

Speaking of this, Han Dewang was filled with disgust and resentment.

"Princess Zhaoyang, Master Lianjin, you don't know that the greedy faces of the Lu family father and daughter make me want to vomit."

"Father Lu kept asking for a betrothal gift from me to marry my wife, and even threatened me shamelessly, saying that if I didn't give it, he would go to the government and sue me for robbing a woman."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Luo Ranran couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Could that old beast be a reinforcement sent by the monkey, specifically for the purpose of making people laugh?"
