Upon hearing her address, Nan Jinchu smiled with satisfaction before pulling her to sit down at the table for a meal.
…
After lunch, Nan Jinchu took her to meet his parents.
Wan Ge's father-in-law, the former regent Prince An, didn't react much to her; he remained indifferent. After she served tea, he gave her a red envelope according to custom.
Her mother-in-law, the Princess, seemed to like her quite a bit. Her face was full of smiles. After drinking tea, she quickly helped her up, put a very beautiful bracelet on her wrist, and gave her a large red envelope.
"Chu'er said she wants to give you the power to manage the household. I'll have Zhang Mama go back with you later. She'll tell you what to do. If you feel tired, just leave those trivial matters to her."
The eldest princess is a very busy person, and she doesn't need to bother with these small matters. Although the household had always listened to the eldest princess before, she was not in charge of managing the household like other mistresses of other mansions.
The eldest princess was both talented in literature and martial arts. She wholeheartedly assisted the late emperor. In addition, the regent, Prince An, who was not of the same surname, also helped to create a prosperous and peaceful era.
Princess Chang and Prince An used to be from two different factions, openly and secretly fighting each other in the court, but no one knew how close they were in private.
It wasn't until the court was stable and the world was at peace that their relationship became known to others, and they held their wedding. By then, Nan Jin Chu was already three years old.
However, the late emperor was poisoned when he was young, so his health was never very good.
A few years ago, the late emperor passed away, and the court was thrown into turmoil again, but the new regent, Nan Jinchu, quickly quelled the situation.
With both parents being exceptionally talented individuals, Nan Jinchu was naturally an outstanding person as well. However, few people had seen his appearance before.
The regent in the minds of the common people is always a figure riding on iron cavalry, wearing a silver mask, holding a long spear, a heroic figure whose appearance is unknown.
Nan Jinchu's mother was the most beautiful woman in the country, and his father was a handsome man who caused a sensation throughout the country. As someone who inherited the best qualities of both parents, Nan Jinchu was even more outstanding than his father.
To be honest, if the original protagonist had no feelings for Jiang Shuyan, she would definitely choose Nan Jinchu based solely on appearance. After all, even as the male lead, Jiang Shuyan is still no match for Nan Jinchu.
Jiang Shuyan is called the number one handsome man simply because not many people have seen Nan Jinchu's face.
However, just yesterday, the entire city saw the Regent's true face.
Yesterday, Nan Jinchu wore a dignified and luxurious wedding dress. His face was as handsome as jade, and his demeanor was dashing. If it weren't for that bright red wedding dress, people might mistake him for a celestial being descended from heaven.
…
Wan Ge obediently replied, "It is Mother."
"Since Chu'er has chosen you to be her princess consort, she will only have you as her consort from now on. No matter what you have been through in the past, just live a good life with Chu'er from now on."
"My daughter-in-law knows." Wan Ge nodded. The things between the original owner and the male lead couldn't be hidden anymore; they had been hidden for a long time.
She was initially worried that the princess might dislike her because of this, but the princess did not hate her because of it; on the contrary, she was very kind to her.
…
Wan Ge and Nan Jin Chu didn't stay with the Princess for very long. They chatted for a while and then left because they needed to take a nap.
When Wan Ge returned to their own courtyard, she said, "Mother Consort seems very kind."
Nan Jinchu smiled. How could she not be kind to her only daughter-in-law? Just when she was worried that her son might become a monk, she got married. How could she not be happy?
Moreover, Wan Ge is quite sensible. Although her personality may not be what her mother likes, her mother probably won't dislike her.
However, Nan Jinchu also knew why Wan Ge had been worried at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Nan Jinchu pulled the person aside. Wan Ge felt the other party's extremely passionate kiss, and her eyes were filled with doubt.
Nan Jinchu just remembered that his wife actually had deep feelings for another person, and the thought made him feel very uncomfortable.
Nan Jinchu certainly didn't believe that Wan Ge had no feelings for Jiang Shuyan. He knew very well that Wan Ge was in this state simply because she had no other choice.
Now that she had married him, she could only fulfill her duties as a wife. She had no way to resist; life was already difficult for women.
A woman is expected to obey her husband after marriage; once she marries him, she can only depend on him.
Thinking of this, Nan Jinchu felt a little sad again. She didn't want to consummate the marriage because she liked him; it was just because of the circumstances.
Her current docility and obedience are all choices she's forced into. Oh no... to be precise, she had no choice in the first place.
Nan Jinchu hadn't expected that she was more astute than he had imagined. He had thought she would at least cause a scene, but instead, she married him so willingly.
…
Because Wan Ge woke up very late, she didn't take a nap. Not long after she returned to the courtyard, a nanny gave her the storeroom key.
Nan Jinchu said that the emperor had summoned him, so he went to the palace.
Everyone in the manor believed that Wan Ge still deeply loved Jiang Shu Yan, after all, they had heard a lot about their story.
The people in the manor are all very happy now. Miss Kaixin from Wan Ge's side has accepted the prince, so at least their lives are temporarily saved.
The people in the Prince's mansion were happy because the Prince finally had a wife.
Actually, the prince wasn't that old, but most people his age were already fathers, or engaged and about to get married.
