As soon as Xia Tian came back, he went straight into the study.
At night, Ningxiang and Ningxue saw that she was getting ready to wash and go to bed, so they leaned over hesitantly and asked in a low voice, "Madam, what you said today was not true, was it?"
Xia Tian was stunned, "Which sentence?" She had talked so much with Wen Jin and the others today, how could she know what they were asking about.
"It's about giving the Crown Prince to Princess Yunying."
Xia Tian looked up at the two of them and said seriously, "It's true! If Princess Yunying really uses her power to oppress others and I can't resist, then I will have no choice but to give up."
Ningxiang and Ningxue became anxious when they heard this, "But the prince will definitely not let the lady leave."
After observing for so many days, they all knew how much their prince cared about his wife.
It's so hard to find a lady that the prince likes. If the lady really wants to leave, the prince will probably go crazy.
They didn't want to see the miserable and lifeless prince again.
"It won't work even if your prince disagrees. If Princess Yunying really asks for the imperial edict, who would dare to disobey it? You can't risk your life, right?" Xia Tian explained helplessly.
This is the bad thing about this damn ancient time: those in power always like to interfere in other people's marriages and think that their decisions are extremely correct.
The most important thing is not to give people a chance to refute, otherwise it will be considered as disobeying the order and you will be charged with disrespect.
If that time really comes, Shen Nian will probably be helpless too, right?
She has no background, so what else can she do?
Let her be Shen Nian's concubine? Don't even think about it.
Ningxiang and Ningxue also knew that what the lady said made sense, but it was a different matter when it came to their own family.
I wanted to persuade my wife again, but I didn't know how to start.
Xia Tian saw the two people's distressed expressions and said soothingly, "Don't worry for now. We haven't met the Yunying County Master yet. What if Yunying County Master has let it go? If we worry about it for nothing, wouldn't that be a waste of trouble?"
"But Madam, Princess Yunying is just like what Miss Hu said, and I'm afraid..." The two of them hesitated to speak.
Xia Tian blinked his eyes, "Are you two afraid that I'll give up on your prince before Princess Yunying does anything?"
Seeing the two girls pursed their lips in embarrassment, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, your wife won't back down so easily. I'm talking about the worst possible outcome. I won't give up until that happens."
Didn’t Wen Jin also want the Queen Mother to ask the Emperor for an imperial decree to grant the marriage?
Didn’t Shen Nian also reject it?
Since the emperor still remembers Chen Nian's friendship as his study companion, he will not break up the couple so easily.
It seems that she needs to put more care into the painting she will give to the emperor for his birthday, just in case it comes in handy!
Xia Tian thought about it, took off his shoes and went to bed. Seeing that the two were still standing there, he urged them, "Okay, go down and rest. I'm tired too and want to go to bed."
The two of them then let down the bed curtains and walked out slowly.
Xia Tian shook his head, lay down and quickly fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, when paying her respects the next morning, Liu also told her that Princess Yunying was going back to the capital.
Xia Tian pretended to know nothing and asked again who Princess Yunying was.
Liu explained it to her patiently, without hiding her relationship with Shen Nian. Finally, she reminded her to be careful with Princess Yunying, and that she could ask her for help if she really couldn't handle the situation.
Xia Tian stood up with a flattered look on his face and bowed to Liu. His touching look even moved Liu.
She also assured her in a gentle voice, "Good girl, you are the only one who can be the wife of the Crown Prince of our Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Don't worry, mother will only recognize you."
Xia Tian was even more moved, tears welling in his eyes and he said to Liu Shi with a choked voice, "Mother still loves me the most."
Liu endured the chill and gently dismissed him, "Don't worry, mother is here. Go back and have breakfast, don't starve."
Xia Tian was moved and gave Liu a blessing before slowly retreating.
Only after Xia Tian left the house did Liu stop pretending and in a good mood began to ask the maid to set the table.
"Madam Qi, do you think this girl thought I would really help her deal with Princess Yunying?"
"Well, I don't think she was faking it just now. I saw the genuine admiration she showed to Madam in her eyes." Madam Qi also quickly complimented Liu, "Madam's support is a blessing she couldn't even dream of."
"That's right. She is a wild girl with no background. How can she compare with Princess Yunying? I will hand her a branch now. As long as she is not stupid, she will definitely grab it." As Liu said this, she picked up the bowl of porridge in front of her, scooped a small spoonful with a spoon, put it into her mouth and ate it slowly.
"Yes, in this entire mansion, I guess only the Madam stands on her side."
“However, what I said just now is that I only recognize her as the Crown Prince’s wife. This is true.” Liu paused, “After all, the lower the status of Crown Prince Shen Nian’s wife, the more beneficial it is to us.”
Nanny Qi thought about it and agreed. If the prince doesn’t have the support of his wife’s family in the future, it’s hard to say what will happen to him in the end.
"Madam is brilliant!"
Qiuyue, who was standing by and serving, asked in confusion, "Madam, since Princess Yunying has such a high status, why didn't you tell our Fourth Young Master about her?"
"You don't understand. Princess Yunying is of high status, so it's no problem for her to marry Ke'er. But Yunying's personality is such that if anyone marries her, there will be chaos." Liu said nonchalantly, "I'm marrying my son's daughter-in-law, not a patriarch."
