Chapter 273 What a Wang Family
"At that time, Princess Dechang's husband had passed away almost two years ago due to an acute illness. She fell in love with Wang Yongxian at first sight and used the imperial power to pressure him to divorce her aunt."
"Isn't this too shameless? Just because you like someone's husband, you can force him to marry her? How shameless!"
Lin Pianran's face was full of indignation. If Princess Dechang was right in front of her, she would probably dare to slap her twice.
Seeing that Lin Pianran was very excited, Huo Yuchen took her hand, brought her into his arms, and touched her head lovingly.
This finally calmed down Lin Pianran's temper.
Shen Xuanzhi continued, "At the time, my aunt and Wang Yongxian were deeply in love and would not tolerate anyone else interfering, so she sternly rejected her. But Princess Dechang refused to give up and continued to use coercion and inducement, using every dirty trick she could think of."
"The Wang family was merely a branch of the Langya Wang clan. At the time, they had no stronghold in the imperial court and were practically on the verge of decline. To cling to Princess Dechang's influence, the Wang family colluded with her and forced Wang Yongxian to divorce his wife."
"Wang Yongxian initially firmly disagreed. To rebuff Princess Dechang, he even burned moxa, injuring his legs and rendering him unable to walk. He thought this would completely dissuade Princess Dechang. However, even this did not dispel her desire."
"Under immense desperation, the Wang and Feng families finally reached an agreement, and my aunt was forced to divorce Wang Yongxian."
Hearing this, Lin Pianran couldn't help but sigh softly, "As expected, the arm can't twist the thigh! No matter how sincere the feelings are, they will become vulnerable and unrecognizable in the face of power and status..."
"All that remains is the lamentation of foolish men and resentful women."
"So what happened next? How did Wang Yongxian become?"
"Later, everyone praised Wang Yongxian for his unrepentant devotion and his affection for his first wife, which made his reputation even greater than before."
"Shortly after his divorce, he married Princess Dechang. He then sought out renowned doctors, and within just two weeks, his legs were healed. Since then, he has risen through the ranks and is now the powerful Minister of Personnel. He and Princess Dechang are incredibly loving and have many children. They are no longer the same as they were before."
"Haha...what a great Wang Yongxian! He really deserves our attention."
"He's really two-faced. He's the only one who's good at everything."
"What does the county lady mean by this?" Shen Mubai looked puzzled.
Lin Pianran sneered and said, "If my guess is correct, Wang Yongxian had already privately agreed to marry Princess Dechang. This is why he staged this self-torture trick to make your aunt think that he divorced her under pressure, and at the same time earned a good reputation."
"Then, with the help of Princess Dechang's influence, I can gain both fame and fortune, and rise to higher positions. This will ensure that the Wang family's position in the court is firmly established, and no one will dare to look down on them anymore."
"You have all been deceived by Wang Yongxian's hypocrisy..."
After listening to Lin Pianran's explanation, everyone looked at each other, and then they suddenly realized.
Shen Xuanzhi's face was full of regret at this time. He was too young at that time and had no chance to help his aunt at all, which caused her to suffer for so many years.
As they were talking, several people walked out of the cave.
Lin Pianran had no plans to stay in the temple any longer, so she and Huo Yuchen rushed back to the capital overnight.
*****
The next day, Lin Pianran got up late.
After she finished her breakfast, Huo Yuchen also returned from court.
Huanxue brewed a pot of tea for the two of them, brought it over, and then quietly retreated to the outside of the room to stand guard.
Huo Yuchen then looked at Lin Pianran with a face full of affection. He stretched out his long arms, hugged Lin Pianran into his arms, and kissed her soft lips.
The two kissed for a long time before reluctantly separating.
Huo Yuchen's voice was hoarse and bewitching.
"Did you miss me?"
"I don't have time to think, I'm sleeping!" Lin Pianran blinked playfully, with a sweet smile on her face, enough to dazzle the eyes of the man opposite.
Huo Yuchen gently scratched Lin Pianran's nose with a doting look on his face.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good. Perhaps I was too tired yesterday and slept soundly last night. Even if the sky fell, I would not notice it."
Huo Yuchen chuckled and held Lin Pianran's hand tighter.
"Don't take risks again. This time was extremely dangerous. Even now when I think about it, I still feel scared."
"Well, this time we were a bit reckless. Although the plan was thorough, there were many unexpected factors that we couldn't consider. The main reason was that the forces of all parties were so complicated that there would always be omissions."
Huo Yuchen put away his distracted expression and said seriously, "Since the government is in chaos and various forces are mixed, we must not try to lure the snake out until we are absolutely sure of success."
"Look at how much attention you attracted yesterday. How many forces were dispatched to surround you? They were all out to take your life."
"If anything happens to you, I won't be able to live anymore..."
When saying this, Huo Yuchen was quite emotional. He hugged Lin Pianran tightly, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
Lin Pianran hugged him back and whispered, "We're getting married soon, so we'll be more careful in the future."
These words seemed to comfort Huo Yuchen immediately. When he mentioned marriage, his mood was obviously much better.
"Well, after you get married, your status as the Crown Princess will be legitimate. Those blind and ignorant people will no longer dare to dance in front of you."
"If they do anything excessive again, it will be more logical for you to punish them. They will have no choice but to obey. Who will dare to do it again?"
Thinking that she was about to get married, Lin Pianran couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved.
Being able to be with the man of your dreams is what countless girls dream of, and Lin Pianran is no exception.
"Then today's morning court should be very lively!"
"Yeah, it's really lively."
"Consort De has been deposed and sent to the cold palace. Princess Minghua and Princess Qinghe will definitely not have a good end either. This can be considered their retribution."
"As for Gu Xiangsi, she was besieged by the secret guards you sent last night. Fortunately, she was smart and decisive, so she managed to escape. She was lucky..."
Lin Pianran was a little disappointed. "What good luck! What a pity! I'll find a way to deal with her next time!"
As expected, the time-traveling girl is not so easy to deal with, nor is she so easy to kill.
