Jiang Tian's choice for Wei Wenxuan was outstanding; she did not choose an ordinary noblewoman, but a princess.
Wei Wenxuan followed his friend into the restaurant. At first, the two were reserved, but as they drank more, they started talking more.
Thinking of his now dilapidated home, Wei Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.
Actually, his life has been relatively smooth sailing.
Even though he didn't come from a particularly illustrious family, his family was still quite well-off and a scholarly family.
His father was a scholar, and his mother was the daughter of a scholar. From childhood to adulthood, Wei Wenxuan was given high expectations.
He knew he was not content to be just an ordinary person, so he had to work hard to climb higher.
Even after he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, many people introduced him to women who wanted to marry him, but he refused them all.
For someone from a poor family like him, if he wants to rise in society, he must find a good marriage.
Later, he met Jiang Yu by chance and learned about her background. Wei Wenxuan immediately decided that he must marry her.
The descendants of meritorious officials will surely be of great help to him in the court.
As for the illegitimate daughters of minor officials, none of them are as useful as Jiang Yu.
Moreover, he has a brother-in-law who is a general guarding the Northwest.
In short, this is a marriage that is extremely suitable for him.
Wei Wenxuan naturally had feelings for Jiang Yu as well.
In her youth, Jiang Yu was undeniably beautiful, and her refined temperament was truly remarkable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she possessed both wisdom and intelligence.
The couple lived a very good life for the first few years after their marriage.
Wei Wenxuan's official career was also very smooth, and he rose through the ranks, eventually moving to the capital.
With his wife's huge dowry as a backing, Wei Wenxuan was able to exert his influence in the officialdom.
However, human desires are endless.
Wei Wenxuan enjoyed the glory of officialdom, and he readily accepted the gifts from some minor officials.
That's how Aunt Chu was sent to him in the first place.
He originally intended to abandon her after a one-night stand, but Aunt Chu was so sensible and talented that Wei Wenxuan couldn't bear to leave her, so he brought her into the mansion.
Thus, the rift between the couple lasted for more than a decade.
Wei Wenxuan thought about it and realized that he was being too humble.
No husband would stoop so low as to try and reconcile with his wife.
However, his wife still ignored him and even treated him coldly.
Thinking of this, Wei Wenxuan couldn't help but drink another cup of wine.
His friends didn't try to stop him, but instead drank with him to their hearts' content.
After drinking for a while, Wei Wenxuan's mind became somewhat unclear.
He heard his friend say that he was going to take him somewhere to rest, but he didn't hear the specifics.
Wei Wenxuan was drunk and his mind wasn't working properly.
In a daze, Wei Wenxuan was force-fed a large bowl of hangover soup.
He was still a little drowsy, but he immediately became clear-headed.
He looked around the room and it wasn't much different from the room he usually slept in.
Wei Wenxuan was feeling annoyed and still not fully sober, so he decided to spend the night there.
Half an hour later, he smelled a faint fragrance.
It smells extraordinary.
Wei Wenxuan gradually realized that something was wrong.
But then he realized he could no longer speak.
At that moment, the door opened.
“This was specially chosen for the princess. It’s a top-quality piece of goods. Please accept it.”
The fawning voice reached Wei Wenxuan's ears, and he was somewhat puzzled.
However, a surge of heat arose within him...
