Chapter 475 The Wife Named for Marriage

Xu Wan devoted herself to teaching the child for three years, using a completely immersive teaching method. She got good grades without realizing it, but when it came time to receive rewards and praise, she felt a little embarrassed.

She paused and said modestly, "Thanks to the support of my parents-in-law, my teaching work can be carried out smoothly. Everyone has also helped me a lot."

The old lady smiled and pushed the box forward, urging, "Take it. This is what you deserve."

Xu Wan reached out to take the 100,000 taels, her heart pounding with excitement.

One hundred thousand taels... one hundred thousand taels!

One hundred million in bonus money!

She actually got it!

Xu·Worker·Wan was so excited that she almost wanted to jump up on the spot.

With these 100,000 taels, I will be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing. The feeling of becoming rich suddenly is really wonderful!

Xu Wan held the small box in her hands and felt it weighed a thousand pounds no matter how she looked at it. She was very happy with it.

But looking at the happy expressions of the two elders, she felt something was wrong. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother-in-law, when did you know Jincheng's identity?"

She thought the old couple must be in a heavy mood today, after all, they just found out that the grandson they had raised for eleven years had no blood relationship with them at all...

But amazingly, they weren't surprised.

Just like when Zong Zhao first came back, it was not surprising at all.

Xu Wan thought about it and felt that they must have known the truth a long time ago, but she just didn't know when.

The old lady glanced at Zong Zhao and replied with some resentment, "Zhao'er told us a year ago after he returned home. We were so angry at that time that he kept such a big thing from us for so many years. But thinking about it later, I was glad that I didn't know the truth so early, otherwise we really don't know how we would have survived those eight years without Sun'er."

Xu Wan thought about that time and realized it was true.

During those eight years, one of the two sons of the Marquisate died and the other disappeared. The old couple was unaware of Wenxiu's existence and relied entirely on Jincheng, their only grandson, to make a living. If they had known earlier that he was not their biological grandson, they would have probably followed their sons to death.

Xu Wan exhaled and casually continued, "So that's how it is. I thought you knew it three years ago when my husband wrote to you."

The old lady snorted and said, "I get angry when I mention this. You talk about him. If he doesn't like to talk, then don't talk. Why bother writing a word? Can't he say a few more words when writing a letter? In the two large pieces of letter paper, he only mentioned looking for Wenxiu and marrying you to teach Jincheng. He didn't say anything else!"

"Uh... that's really too little..." Xu Wan followed her words, but suddenly realized and asked, "Marry me and teach Jin Cheng?"

"Ah, ah?" The old lady saw Zong Zhao's expression change, and then she realized that something was wrong. She asked weakly, "You all... You haven't told Wan'er yet?"

Zong Zhao, who was suddenly sold out, said: "..."

The old lady was shocked and immediately started to make excuses: "Ah, this, maybe my memory is not very good as I am old. Wan'er, it's too late. Your father-in-law and I will go back to the room to rest. You should go to bed early too. See you tomorrow!"

The old marquis was so embarrassed that he wanted to cover his head.

The old lady ran while gritting her teeth and cursing: "Can't you remind me a little bit?"

The old marquis replied subconsciously: "You talk like throwing beans, how can I follow you?"

"How dare you talk back?"

"Hiss...be gentle...where are you pinching..."

The old couple's voices gradually faded away.

Xu Wan suddenly fell into deep thought.

The more she thought about what the old lady said, the scarier it became.

She married into the Marquis's Mansion three years ago because she chose the Zong family from the three names of brides-to-be given by her stepmother.

The reason why the Zong family gave her a betrothal letter was not because her family was the only one who agreed to marry her, but because the Zong family only gave her a betrothal letter...

——She was the wife that Zong Zhao specifically wanted to marry.

"You...the person you originally wanted to marry was me...I don't think we knew each other before?" Xu Wan asked without holding back at all.

Three years ago, she was eighteen years old.

That was her fourth year here, but in these four years, she could guarantee that she had never seen Zong Zhao.

Then why did Zong Zhao marry her?

When did they meet?

Zong Zhao was a little nervous. Not only did his body straighten, but even his Adam's apple couldn't help but move. He turned his eyes away and replied, "We didn't know each other before."

Having said that, he turned and walked out.

Xu Wan followed him back to the room, and asked him while trotting on the way: "Then why did you write to ask your mother-in-law to come to my house to hire someone, and also asked me to marry you and teach Jin Cheng? How did you know that I can teach?"

Zong Zhao didn't reply to her, he didn't even stop walking.

Xu Wan became more and more curious about him, and chased him and asked, "Zong Zhao, why are you running so fast? Did you hide a lot of things from me? Didn't you say that you would tell me anything I wanted to know?"

Zong Zhao was still walking in front with big strides.

His heart beat faster and faster, but he didn't know whether he should tell her.

Xu Wan was still jogging behind him, and only when she got into the house did she pant and plead, "Also, you told Jin Cheng in the palace today that the truth was told to you by Eunuch Huang, but you had never met Eunuch Huang before you came back. How did he tell you?"

Seeing that Xu Wan's doubts were growing, he had no choice but to explain everything today.

Zong Zhao turned his head and kissed her.

Xu Wan, who was forced to remain silent, widened her eyes: "!!!"

What is he doing? ?

How can you force me to shut myself off from music like this?

Xu Wan struggled to break free and retreated, but was held tightly.

Zong Zhao picked her up and walked towards the bed, his mouth never stopping moving. On the bed, there was an ambiguous mixture. He stretched out a hand to lower the bed curtain, and their clothes were quickly thrown out.

"Zong Zhao, you are being shameless... Um... You are avoiding the problem..."

"You've become bad. You've actually learned how to change the subject, and you use this method... ah, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Zong Zhao..."

The ambiguous voices died down, and the bed curtains fell into silence.

Xu Wan was so tired that she didn't even want to move a finger, let alone ask any more questions. She just fell into a deep sleep.

On the big bed, my wife was sleeping peacefully.

Zong Zhao first held her and washed her body, then helped her put on her pajamas, put her carefully into the quilt, brushed away the messy hair on her forehead, and leaned over to kiss her smooth forehead.

Every movement was full of love, but his brows were locked.

She had already discovered so many abnormalities, but he hadn't decided whether to tell her. In fact, he didn't want to hide it from her, nor was he worried that she wouldn't believe it, but because the truth would not bring her happiness, but...

Zong Zhao was silent, not wanting to sleep at all.

His mind had already recalled how she looked when he first saw her many years ago.
