"Mom is helping Jiayang!"
"She's so determined to jump into this trap, and if I don't help her, I'll be doing her a disservice to her thinking of me as a threat."
"If Jiayang knew that mother was helping her so much, would she stop targeting her?"
"Actually, I could tell she wasn't targeting me at first. It was Wan Shanting's persistent guidance that caused this problem."
"So are we really pushing her into this trap?"
"Did I push you? Can you speak?"
"Ahem, she insisted on jumping in."
"As long as she doesn't have murderous intentions towards me, nothing will really happen to her. Besides, with her father and brother around, she won't really be tricked. At most, she'll suffer a little loss in reputation and learn a lesson.
But if I were the original owner, I would have been harmed by him, so the root cause lies with Wan, and I am not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong."
"Mom is becoming more and more humane now"
"Are you saying I wasn't human before?"
Doudou felt that he should just keep his mouth shut. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he made. His mother could be really picky sometimes.
"Wan Shanting must be furious. Two women are buying and selling him like this. Everyone in the imperial city will know that he is only worth two. Haha~"
"Humph, this is just the first step. Let him stir up trouble in another way. Can't you bear it? Aren't you trying to provoke me? Before, everyone looked up to him with admiration, but from now on, they'll just laugh at him and despise him. What a bastard."
"Will it backfire if Mother spreads the news about his wife? He can easily find excuses for what you said. Maybe then his affectionate and grateful personality will become more stable."
"He has no manpower and can only let the rumors spread. As for explanations, he can't explain them to each person one by one. What he wants is to let the majority of people question him. Even if someone helps him stop the rumors, as long as there is doubt in his heart and the filter is gone, more people will be able to see his character clearly.
The most important thing is to let the families of the women who are infatuated with him understand that infatuation is only temporary and reality is the most important. The reality is that after he took advantage of my first wife, he set his sights on me and those noble ladies.
The one who fell into the deepest pit was the princess. I wonder if Prince Rui regrets it now."
Of course, Prince Rui was very regretful. He didn't expect that his daughter would set her sights on Wan Shanting and believed that he was a good person. But after observing him for a period of time, how could he not see that Wan Shanting was handsome and talented, but what he did was not as simple as he thought at first.
But nothing I say now can change my daughter's insistence on choosing, just like when all the noble men in the city couldn't make the right choice. It doesn't make sense at all.
"How could you do such a thing? Listen to what people say about you, how deeply in love you are, how you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy off the favor of your sweetheart.
You know full well that the Bai family didn't take this matter to heart, and it's all because Wanshanting is so eager to repay his kindness that he has to intervene. Do you still want your reputation? By being so eager, you've ruined the reputation of the Rui Palace."
"It's because those people are jealous of me and spread such rumors on purpose. What did I do wrong? He is just loyal and righteous, and he will repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water.
The Bai family was going too far. They wanted half of his future property and salary for such a small favor. They were completely taking advantage of Master Wan's sincere gratitude.
I just can't stand it. How can Mr. Wan be involved with her for his whole life? What's the importance of reputation? If anyone dares to say a word about me, I'll beat him to death!"
"Can't you see? Bai said that to get rid of Wan Shanting's entanglement."
"Mr. Wan is the one I like, why should I be entangled with her? I want to cut off their connection and make him only see me!
We must explain this to Master Wan as soon as possible and not let him misunderstand. Dad, please send someone to find out who is spreading this story. Anyone who dares to spread it again will be sent to the government office and beaten with a stick."
"You are not allowed to go out, and you are not allowed to see Wan Shanting. Just give up thinking about him!"
How could Jiayang be willing?
"Impossible, I will only choose him in this life, no one can stop me. If you insist on stopping me, the worst that can happen is that I will become a nun, humph!"
Even if she becomes a nun, someone has to want her, and no one wants a nun like her.
"You~"
She would use her doting to threaten him, and facing his daughter who was spoiled like this by him, he felt nothing but helplessness and regret.
"You really think he's a good person. Have you heard what people are saying outside? If he was really a good person, why didn't he treat his wife earlier when she was sick? If he was really in such a difficult situation, how did he manage to get to the capital?"
I didn't notice so many suspicious points. At that time, I only saw that he was talented and good-looking, so I was impatient to tell my daughter about him. If I had observed him for a while and thought more about it, I wouldn't be in this situation today.
I regret it so much
"Why haven't you had any children in the three years since we got married? What if he's sick? Can you bear to be childless for the rest of your life?"
No matter what, I have to persuade my daughter to abandon Wanshan Pavilion. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this person is unreliable.
This is Bai Zhiyue's purpose. Prince Rui has given up, so anyone else who is not stupid will definitely question it.
He was just a top scholar from a poor family, not from a noble family. His background was poor to begin with, and he would most likely have to rely on his wife's family for both official career and livelihood in the future. Adding to these problems, it was normal for him to back down.
Her family didn't support her, so what did she have to worry about with just a few women? Although she wasn't afraid at all, she just thought it was too troublesome.
"Father, this is all nonsense from outsiders, don't believe it!
He explained that he didn't want children because he was focused on the imperial examinations and wanted to give his wife and children a better life. He was not aware of his wife's illness at the academy. If he had known earlier, how could he have ignored it?
He's such a sentimental man, otherwise he wouldn't still be chaste for his deceased wife and refuse to accept me. Why are you making wild guesses and misunderstandings like those people? Didn't Father personally send someone to investigate his case?"
Prince Rui was heartbroken again. He did send people to investigate, but he didn't expect there were so many details at the time. He only checked whether the words he said on the surface were serious. He didn't investigate it in detail at all. Alas, he blamed himself again!
"My daughter, it's not that he refuses to accept you, it's that he didn't choose you! He said he values love, but why is he different towards the Bai family? Isn't it because he wants to take advantage of the power of the Anding Marquisate?"
"You guys are just imagining things. If you want to take advantage of the situation, why don't you choose me? It's easier to choose me."
Jiayang was very confident that among all the noble ladies in the capital, she had the best family background and was the most worthy of the marriage.
"You silly daughter, your mother and I are here, and we have several brothers. Just like you said, he's under our noses, how dare he do anything reckless?
Bai was different. She had status and position, and was respected by the emperor, but she had no parents or brothers, and only young children. If she entered the marquis's mansion, he would have the final say in the future.
He has status, wealth, and a son ready to support him in his old age. Do you think he would be happy with that?"
King Rui spoke earnestly, hoping that the woman would understand the importance of the matter.
