Moreover, she was originally a princess and was deeply favored by the royal family.
"Ladies, there's no need for you to be so polite."
The aunt opened her mouth as if to explain something, but Wan Ge looked at the young woman and said, "You have an injury on your foot. Let me have someone help you inside to sit down."
"Thank you, Madam." As she finished speaking, the young lady's eyes reddened slightly, as if she hadn't expected Wan Ge to be so good.
She was merely the wife of a fifth-rank official, and had only just met the criteria for being invited to this banquet. She should have been the lowest-ranking person at the banquet, but she never expected to be treated so well by someone of such high status.
First, the other person helped her up, then noticed the injury on her leg, and now they are asking someone to help her inside.
Wan Ge gave the palace maid a wink, and the maid immediately helped the other person up.
The Empress also spoke up, saying, "You don't need to be so polite. Wan Ge rarely appreciates someone so much."
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Your Highness." Then, although she didn't quite understand what the Empress meant, she figured it meant that Wan Ge liked her quite a bit, so she was taking special care of him.
Even though it was the first time she had met Wan Ge, she felt inexplicably close to her.
After sitting down, Wan Ge asked Ruan Ruan with some confusion, "Is that lady from out of town? Why does she seem so familiar to me?"
The other person didn't have the protagonist's halo or the supporting character's halo, so they shouldn't be an important character, but there was a strange sense of familiarity with them.
However, she didn't sense any foreign aura emanating from the other party, so Wan Ge found it a bit strange, as it was the first time she had ever felt so familiar with a stranger.
Ruan Ruan then replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, you should be inside her body."
"What accident?"
"Her husband."
Ruan Ruan explained to her again: "Originally, she was the one we chose. In the original story, her husband was conscripted on their wedding night. She was not well received at home and was tormented by her mother-in-law. In the end, she was murdered before her husband returned."
So initially, she was our ideal candidate, someone we thought would be perfect for you to stay with, and she herself was willing. However, when we were about to sign the contract, something unexpected happened.
Her husband tried everything to resurrect or bring her back to life, pleading with all the gods. Moved by his actions, Heaven decided to grant them a chance at rebirth, which is why we had no choice but to give you a body that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
However, they were reborn without memories of their previous lives. Heaven only gave her husband a dream as a revelation. Whether he can protect his wife this time depends entirely on his own ability.
If he still can't protect his wife this time, then the chance that Heaven gave them to be reborn will be wasted.
However, even though it was just a dream, the other party was still worried, so he asked his brothers and friends to protect his wife. As a result, she did not lose her life, but only injured her leg.
Her mother-in-law disliked her because she thought she was unlucky, and together with her niece, they wanted to harm her.
At this moment, she is still unaware of the truth.
…
…
After the banquet, on her way back to the Prime Minister's residence in the carriage, Wan Ge passed through a small alley and saw the girl who had almost become her host.
At this moment, her husband stood beside her. Now that he had regained his memories and some of his abilities, Wan Ge could hear clearly what they were saying.
"Mother, you should take my cousin back to our hometown starting tomorrow."
His mother looked on incredulously: "What did you say? You unfilial son! You've just been made a general and you're already disowning your mother?"
"You know perfectly well what you did to Wan'er. I don't want to bring this up in front of my daughter-in-law. Since you can't get along with Wan'er, you should go back."
"You'd abandon your mother for your wife?" Tears immediately streamed down the other person's face.
"It's not that I don't want you, it's that you did something you shouldn't have done. If I hadn't asked someone for help this time, would I still be able to see Wan'er again?"
Upon hearing his son's words, the other person's expression changed instantly. He seemed unable to face his son and lowered his head.
The young woman looked puzzled: "Husband? What are you talking about? What happened to your mother-in-law?"
"It's alright. I know I haven't treated you well all these years. You've suffered a lot. I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
The young woman shook her head again: "It's alright. Serving my mother-in-law is what a daughter-in-law should do. Actually...actually, my mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for me."
Her husband had already done her a great favor by pulling her out of the fire. She didn't want to put him in a difficult position, nor did she want him to be branded as unfilial.
Hearing her daughter-in-law say this, many images of her daughter-in-law taking care of her over the years flashed through the woman's mind. A tear fell from her eye, and she finally answered with a choked voice, "Okay, okay, I will go back."
Perhaps the prejudice against her from the very beginning foreshadowed this outcome.
When she saw that her daughter-in-law was still alive, she found it hard to describe her feelings. Was she relieved that she hadn't died or resentful that she hadn't died? But at that moment, she knew the answer in her heart: her son cared about her so much, and if she had died, she might not have been able to go back to her hometown.
…
Mu Yanxing was also a martial artist with exceptional hearing, so he naturally overheard their conversation.
Thinking that Wan Ge seemed to care about that lady, and now hearing their conversation like this, she hugged him tightly: "I will never let you be in such a situation."
When Wan Ge heard him say that, she remembered that his parents were also dissatisfied with her back then: "How did you convince your parents back then?"
