"Madam Wang, please make your preparations as soon as possible." After saying this, Dongqing left.
Dongqing never said a word more than necessary.
"ah!"
"Splash!"
With a series of crashes, Mrs. Wang smashed everything she could in the house.
The maids and nannies guarding outside the house didn't dare to breathe.
It was only when Wang's personal maid, Jinhe, arrived that they were dismissed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran away.
“Madam, now is not the time to grieve. For the sake of the young master, you must make some plans. Madam Liu is infertile, which saves us a lot of trouble. But if the general marries a second wife... not to mention anything else, if she gives birth to a son, he will surpass our young master.”
"Pah! Does anyone think they can outdo my son?"
Wang is now so angry that she has lost all reason.
The thought of her son being sick and her staying by his side for three days and three nights, while that man actually chose a second wife for her during those three days, made her heart ache terribly.
Everyone in the capital thought that the General had offended Princess Duanyang and the royal family for her sake... but little did they know...
"lady!"
Jinhe pinched Wang's arm hard, her voice filled with strength: "Madam, don't be confused. Now that we're in a different position... that's why you need to keep the General's heart even more."
As long as the general's heart is still with his wife, everything is negotiable.
Even if the second wife is of noble status, can she be more noble than Princess Duanyang, the princess's principal wife?
Looking at her personal maid, Madam Wang had no words to express her suffering.
Heart?
Where has Huo Minglang's heart ever been with her?
If she truly cared about her and their child, how could she have remained indifferent when her son was sick?
It's just that without the audience, he no longer wants to perform.
"Madam, have you thought this through? You've already lost your status. If you also lose the General's heart, once the Second Madam enters the household and gives birth to the child, everything in the General's mansion will belong to someone else! Are you willing to accept that?"
"Putting everything else aside, our young master is frail. When he gets sick and needs medicine, he'll have to be careful what people say. If there's even the slightest delay, then the young master..."
"Smack!"
Wang raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face, her face contorted like a venomous snake: "How dare you curse my son?"
Jinhe's face quickly swelled up, and the maid immediately kowtowed to beg for forgiveness: "Madam, I didn't mean that! I just wanted to tell you that if you don't pull yourself together and take the initiative, neither you nor the young master will have a good ending!"
If her master met a bad end, how could she, a mere maid, possibly fare well?
She'll be the first to die!
"Heh," Madam Wang wiped away her tears in a disheveled manner, looked at the mess on the ground, and sneered twice, "I know. You just want to marry your second wife in a grand and glorious manner, right? Fine, I'll give him the grandest of the grand! The grandest of the grand!"
Jinhe finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wang had finally regained her composure and fighting spirit.
Thank goodness...
"Madam, if the general gets married, should we bring the eldest daughter back?"
"Nonsense, what would it look like if a father got married and his daughter wasn't there? People would think I was unhappy with this new second wife. Once the date is set, let's bring Ya Jie back ahead of time."
Actually, Mrs. Wang didn't dislike her daughter that much.
However, the incident of poisoning Huo Yajie last time still made Wang somewhat uncomfortable.
What she feared even more was that she had poisoned her daughter, and her daughter found out. How could her daughter not seek revenge?
She worried that if she left her daughter in the manor, she might die at the hands of that girl one day!
So, for her own safety and to preserve the bond between mother and daughter, so that her daughter wouldn't go down the path of killing her mother, she had no choice but to send her daughter away!
"Yes, madam."
Hearing the word "Madam" made Madam Wang feel extremely pleased.
That very evening, they prepared three times the usual betrothal gifts so that Huo Minglang could make a grand and impressive proposal.
But to everyone's surprise, after Huo Minglang explained his purpose, he was politely rejected.
Although the other person was so frightened that their clothes were soaked with sweat, they still gritted their teeth and refused to change their words.
Huo Minglang left with a livid face.
Upon hearing the news, Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief and offered gentle words of comfort. She also used all her strength in bed to try and make Huo Minglang last longer, which finally allowed Huo Minglang to release his pent-up emotions.
Encouraged by Wang, Huo Minglang chose another family to propose marriage the next day.
Who knew I'd be politely turned down again!
When they went to propose marriage to the third family ten days later, they were turned away at the door!
For a time, Huo Minglang became the laughing stock of the entire capital.
Huo Minglang himself was furious.
In particular, on one occasion when he went out, he met Princess Duanyang and was ridiculed by her without any politeness, which made Huo Minglang so angry that his eyes turned red!
"Duan Yang, what's so arrogant about a promiscuous woman like you?"
In his anger, Huo Minglang spoke recklessly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Princess Duanyang was so humiliated that she burst into tears and swore to heaven that she had never betrayed Huo Minglang.
Then she covered her face and burst into tears, leaving in a sorry state.
For a time, opinions varied widely.
Regardless of how others comment on Princess Duanyang, there are quite a few who criticize Huo Minglang.
In particular, the incident of publicly insulting the princess has caused quite a stir.
Emperor Huiwu was furious and had the man flogged thirty times as a warning to others.
After that, no matchmaker dared to come to Huo Minglang's door to arrange a marriage.
