Gua Gua: [This woman, Wan Xiwen, is the younger sister of Wan Zunrui, a fifth-rank General of the Central Army.
Many generals were awarded titles when they returned to Beijing this time, and Wan Zunrui was one of them.
The emperor granted special permission to these conferred generals and their families to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Song Yaoyao: [What happens next? ]
Guagua continued:
Wan Zunrui's grandfather and father have passed away. Besides his grandmother, mother, and sister, he is the only male in the family.
The Wan family is a baron's family. If they do not make any further contributions to the court, their title will be demoted.
In order to keep his title of nobility, Wan Zunrui went to the military camp, hoping to make a name for himself. 】
In the video, on the day Wan Zunrui left for the military camp, his grandmother, mother, and sister cried very sadly, but there was nothing they could do.
Even though he was reluctant, Wan Zunrui was determined to go to the military camp.
Song Yaoyao: [What happens next? ]
Gua Gua: [Once Wan Ruizun left, there were only three women left in the mansion: grandmother, mother, and sister.
At this time, Wan Xiwen's childhood sweetheart came to her house with a marriage certificate.
In the video, there appeared a thin man with clothes that were washed white.
He brought a small bag and went to the Wan family.
His father, Zu Yaoming, and Wan Xiwen had been engaged since childhood.
Zu Yaoming's great-grandfather was also an official in Beijing. After his great-grandfather passed away, Zu Yaoming's parents were not up to the task and the family property was soon squandered. The family had no choice but to return to their ancestral hometown.
The Wan family thought they would never see the Zu family again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly Zu Yaoming came to their door with a marriage certificate.
This marriage contract was made when Wan Xiwen's grandparents and Zu Yaoming's grandparents were still alive.
Now that Wan Zunrui was not at home, his grandmother and mother felt that they were now an orphan and a widow, and it would be a shame if there was no man to support the family, so they asked Zu Yaoming:
"Are you willing to stay in our Wan Mansion and be a live-in son-in-law?
You have seen the situation in our mansion. We need a man to take charge of the family. Are you willing?"
"There is no one at home, I am willing to stay."
In the hall, Zu Yaoming was sitting next to Wan Xiwen at this moment. Everyone couldn't help but look at him, and then looked away.
Song Yaoyao also looked at the man sitting next to Wan Xiwen. He was dressed gorgeously at the moment and looked like two completely different people compared to when he came to the door with the marriage certificate in the video.
Song Yaoyao: [Zu Yaoming agreed very readily, why do you find it so strange?
Didn't men in ancient times consider marrying into a woman's family as a shame? Why did Zu Yaoming accept it so happily?
No matter how I look at it, it seems abnormal. 】
Gua Gua: [Zu Yaoming feels that the Wan family is humiliating him, but his parents have passed away, and he is penniless, so he can only cling to the Wan family as a lifeline.
He buried his hatred towards the Wan family deep in his heart. 】
Song Yaoyao: [This person must be sick!
He is reluctant to give up his rich and prosperous life, but at the same time he resents others for humiliating him. This is simply being hypocritical. 】
Gua Gua: [Su 㹏, this person is not a good person.
Let’s continue with what we said before.
At this time, Wan Xiwen was only 14 years old and had not yet reached the age of marriage.
Wan Xiwen was not familiar with Zu Yaoming and had no feelings for him. She only knew that he was her fiancé and that before they got married, she should keep her distance and not have too much contact with him.
Zu Yaoming looked at Wan Xiwen's attitude towards him and felt that Wan Xiwen also looked down on him.
