Three years ago, on the day Su Wanti married him, an imperial decree came down to declare war on a neighboring country on the border.
He Anping and several other generals and soldiers in Beijing were urgently recruited and rushed to the front line overnight.
When He Anping left the house, Su Wanti was sitting on the wedding bed waiting for her husband to lift the veil and drink the wedding wine.
Unfortunately, she did not wait for her husband, but instead waited for the news that her husband had gone to the front line.
Su Wanti is a quiet and virtuous woman. Although she has never met He Anping, she doesn't know when he will return to Beijing.
But she had already married into the He family and had worshipped heaven and earth with He Anping, so she was his wife.
On her wedding night, she sat there in silence all night.
On the second day, she took off her fiery red wedding dress, changed into woman's clothes, and went to offer tea to the elders with a respectful look.
In the past three years, she has never received a letter from He Anping, but she has abided by the rules of etiquette and tried her best to be a good daughter-in-law of the He family.
She is quiet and dutiful, gentle and docile, serving her elders and caring for the young.
Everyone in the He family praised her highly, and her mother-in-law, Liu, valued her very much, loved her very much, and treated her like her own daughter.
Until ten days ago, someone secretly delivered a letter.
That day, Su Wanti's parents-in-law stayed in the study all day.
Later, Su Wanti found out that the letter was sent by He Anping.
The next day, mother-in-law Liu came to her crying and begged her, saying that only she could save He Anping.
Liu cried uncontrollably in front of her. She said that He Anping said in the letter that he had made mistakes in the army and would be imprisoned. In serious cases, he might even lose his head.
Let his family in Beijing find a way to save him.
He also advised his family in the letter that the person in charge of this matter was the Regent, and as long as they could get in touch with the Regent and curry favor with him, he would be saved.
Su Wanti still remembers the scene at that time. Liu's eyes were blurred with tears. She clenched her hands tightly and spoke in a miserable and earnest manner.
"Wanti, only you can save Anping!"
Su Wanti was naturally puzzled.
Liu lowered her voice, her eyes twinkling as she spoke, "Do you remember the last time I took you to the banquet at Minister Yan's residence? That day, the Prince Regent honored us with his presence."
"That day, I noticed that he looked at you a few more times."
"I didn't think so at first, but later I heard from your father-in-law's boss that after the banquet that day, the Regent privately told his subordinates that you looked a lot like an old friend of his."
"If you can catch the eye of the Regent and say a few good words to him, then Anping will be saved!"
Su Wanti has always been law-abiding, so how could she understand the meaning of Liu's words?
Finally, seeing that she really didn't understand, Liu explained with a blushing face.
Su Wanti would definitely not agree to this.
Liu was eager to save her son, so she knocked her out and sent her to the Regent's Palace in a sedan chair.
In her previous life, Su Wanti woke up halfway, filled with grief and anger, and bit her tongue to commit suicide.
In this life, she will not be stupid enough to commit suicide.
Because she already knew the truth.
He Anping lied in the letter. He didn't want to save his own life, he wanted her life.
