"Absurd! I am now the Regent's Consort. How dare you take me to see other men? What are you trying to do? You are my maid. Instead of thinking about how to serve your master, you dare to do such a thing. Selling you off is already too lenient."
If others find out about this, they will usually be killed on the spot.
"This servant was wrong, this servant was really wrong, Your Majesty. This servant has been by your side since I was a child, how could I harm you? Your Majesty, please spare me."
Wan Ge was unwilling to say anything more to her. After waving her hand, someone quickly pulled her away.
“Your Highness…” Qingzhi was a little worried. Although she hadn’t gone out with the Empress, she could tell from the conversation just now what the maid had done.
To be honest, although they grew up together, Qingzhi didn't like her. She couldn't quite put her finger on why, but she just couldn't bring herself to like her. She always felt that there was something about her that made her feel distant.
Moreover, she used to think she had the best relationship with the young lady, and openly and secretly suppressed her and the other girls, so she disliked her even more.
The other person used to be really close to Miss, and Miss would take her with her wherever she went. But I never expected that he would be such a traitor who would dare to do such a thing. Miss is being treated leniently now.
They all knew how serious it would be if others found out. There were already rumors that the young lady was getting close to the young general, and now that she was married, these rumors would completely ruin her reputation.
It was difficult to say anything before, after all, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and the Jiang family was full of loyal martyrs, with only one son left.
So they were all praising the deep affection between the two, but fate was cruel, and the regent stole her away.
The prevailing opinion is that the regent is immoral, which doesn't seem to have much of a negative impact on their daughters. But if this were to get out, they would be more than just the subject of gossip.
If His Highness the Regent found out, they wouldn't even dare to imagine what would happen to the young lady.
…
Knowing this, Nan Jinchu pretended nothing had happened when he got home. When Wan Ge saw him return, she went straight to greet him.
Nan Jinchu pulled the other person into her arms without saying a word.
Wan Ge gently stroked his hair, her tender voice whispering in his ear, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Are you troubled by something?"
Nan Jinchu gave a soft "hmm." Yes, he had encountered some troubles when he went out. He saw that his wife seemed to be having a very good relationship with another man, and he was furious.
Wan Ge wanted to ask what had happened, but she could clearly sense that the other person was in a bad mood, so she ultimately didn't ask.
She thought that if the other person wanted to tell her, they would eventually do so.
If he doesn't want to talk about it now, then Wan Ge won't ask.
…
…
As dawn approached again, Nan Jinchu was startled awake from her dream once more.
Seeing his state, Wan Ge felt a little worried and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Highness has been having nightmares for the past three months, has something happened?"
Ever since he came back that day, he seemed a little off, yet he didn't seem much different from before. Wan Ge wondered if it was just her imagination.
But now that three months have passed and the other party is still like this, something is definitely wrong.
Nan Jinchu shook his head again, but held the person tightly in his arms, as if she couldn't move at all.
Wan Ge thought carefully about what had happened recently and why he had been plagued by nightmares for the past three months.
Wan Ge couldn't recall anything special that had happened in the previous three months, except for the fact that she had met Jiang Shuyan once.
Wan Ge's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be because of this? It shouldn't be! She hadn't done anything.
So he still found out about it, right? And he must have misunderstood something, which is why he's having nightmares every day now.
After hesitating for a moment, Wan Ge finally spoke up: "Husband, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."
"What is it?" Nan Jinchu was still holding her tightly, his voice sounding muffled because he had buried his head in her neck.
Wan Ge then spoke softly, "Three months ago, on the Shangsi Festival, I went to see Jiang Shuyan."
When Nan Jinchu heard her bring up this matter on her own initiative, her body stiffened slightly.
Although the other party's movements were very subtle, the perceptive Wan Ge still noticed them. So, did the other party know about that matter or were they just shocked?
Seeing that he didn't respond, Wan Ge continued, "But I didn't go to see him on purpose. I thought you invited me out, so I went out. The maid concealed the information, which led to this situation. I've already sold that maid."
"Yes, a treacherous maidservant deserves to be beaten to death."
“I left after saying only a few words to him that day. I told him this to tell my husband that he is my husband and I will not have any more dealings with other men.”
"Mmm," Nan Jinchu responded, but tightened his grip on her even more.
Wan Ge felt a little uncomfortable from being strangled, but since the other person was in a low mood at the time, Wan Ge didn't say anything until Nan Jin Chu realized that she seemed to have used too much force and slowly loosened her grip a little.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay, I'm not in pain." Wan Ge kissed his forehead again.
"Wange, do you know that our father and mother are urging us to have a child soon?"
