It's a pity that this beauty will soon turn into a cold corpse, and die at the hands of her husband.
The eldest princess raised her chin slightly and gently patted her sword, as if to soothe the impatient and bloodthirsty beast in her heart.
There were soldiers guarding both sides of the road, but no traffic was prohibited.
So people gathered at street corners.
In addition, Su Wanti had people spread the news in advance and arranged for people to mingle in the crowd to fan the flames. Therefore, the rumor that General He, who had already married, had an affair with the eldest princess spread like wildfire in the streets and alleys in an instant, and everyone knew about it.
The eldest princess took the initiative to visit the He family, which further confirmed the rumor.
"It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. General He looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to do something so impolite." There were many righteous people among the people who watched the excitement.
"Keep your voice down, don't let the soldiers in front hear you... They are officials, and that one is even more powerful, the eldest princess, a member of the royal family. If you talk about them in the street, will you lose your head?"
"Hmph, so what if he's noble? What he does isn't noble. I heard that General He could have returned to the capital long ago, but because he married the princess, he asked to stay at the border, leaving his newlywed wife to sit alone for three years."
"After the princess returned to the capital, she came to the He Mansion as soon as possible. It seems that she has taken a liking to General He and wants to recruit him as her consort!"
"What about General He's wife?"
"What else can I do? Either I'll be divorced or demoted to a concubine!"
"But she has been married into the He Mansion for three years, serving her parents-in-law and being considerate to the servants, without any fault! Isn't it very innocent to be divorced like this?"
"Her father is only a minor official. How can she compare to the current emperor's sister, the eldest princess? If she is not divorced, or if she voluntarily demotions to a concubine, does she have to be a co-wife with the highly respected eldest princess?"
"It's good enough that she's still alive. Well, I heard that the eldest princess has a bad temper... I guess she won't tolerate General He's wife."
Someone whispered.
In fact, he wanted to say that the eldest princess had a bad temper, was arrogant and domineering, but he didn't dare to say these words out loud, so he could only stammer and pass it by.
These words would never reach the eldest princess's ears, but even if they did, she wouldn't care.
She has never cared about public opinion. Why should she care about what a group of troublemakers say?
She was born into the royal family and knew too well the role of power.
As long as she is the eldest princess, as long as she holds power in her hands, she can turn black into white.
Even though the people are all indignant now, why is Anping's wife standing up for justice?
As long as two years pass, she will fabricate some false news that is unfavorable to the Su family and send it out, and the people's opinion will immediately change.
For example, saying that she couldn't stand loneliness and had an affair.
Or, it was said that she was greedy for money and secretly transferred the He family's property to her brothers from her natal family while she was in charge of the He family's finances.
…
By then, the people will not remember what happened today. They will just act as if they have suddenly realized something and say that they were deceived by Su's appearance in the past and that she deserved to die.
"Is this your wife?" The eldest princess asked arrogantly.
Before He Anping got married, he knew that Su Wanti was a rare beauty, but he had never seen Su Wanti and did not know what she really looked like.
Today was the first time the couple met, and he realized how stunningly beautiful his wife, whom he had married for three years, was.
He Anping was stunned for a moment, but the princess' words instantly sobered him up.
Looking at his nominal wife and thinking about the eldest princess, He Anping sighed in his heart.
In the face of supreme power, stunning looks are worthless.
Since he has the opportunity to marry the eldest princess, even if Su Wanti is as beautiful as a fairy, he will give up without any regrets.
He Anping collected his thoughts, his eyes glaring. "Reporting to the Princess, this is Su. She married me three years ago, but I went to the battlefield that night."
He tried his best to distance himself from Su Wanti and prove to the princess that he had no feelings for Su Wanti.
The eldest princess raised the corners of her lips and smiled with satisfaction.
"General He's wife is quite appealing to my eyes. Why don't you come into the mansion so I can have a detailed chat with her?"
Hearing this, He Anping's heart skipped a beat and he was overjoyed.
Can the eldest princess tolerate Su Wanti?
He hurriedly welcomed the person into the mansion.
The He family's gate was closed, but the people on both sides of the street did not disperse.
There was constant speculation in the crowd, and the discussion was louder than before.
Everyone waited to see how the eldest princess would treat General He's wife.
————
The eldest princess was a distinguished guest, and the He family did not dare to neglect her. They welcomed her into the main hall and served her attentively.
The eldest princess sat down, turning a deaf ear to He's father's flattery, and only concentrated on fiddling with the lid of the teacup without drinking a sip of tea.
"Alright." She waved her hand, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I have something to say to General He and Su. You all can leave."
She was too lazy to talk nonsense with the He family.
She still has to go to the palace to meet the emperor, so she has to finish things here quickly.
Everyone left and the door to the main hall was tightly closed, leaving only the eldest princess, He Anping and Su Wanti.
"He Lang." The eldest princess deliberately called him in a very intimate way.
"You hid the fact that you were married from me, and I can forgive you for that."
"But..." She raised her eyebrows and glanced at He Anping.
He Anping's body stiffened.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you."
"But, as I said, my husband can only have me as his wife. As my consort, you must not have any second thoughts. I am not an ordinary woman. I can't share my husband with other women."
