In a sense, Jiang Wuyou was the most suitable candidate to be the principal wife.
Because she always considered things from He Yunxiao's perspective.
He went to the State of Yan and sought out women, but as long as he didn't bring it up, even if Jiang Wuyou knew, she would never ask and would pretend not to know.
Always be his safe haven where he can come home and confide in you. No matter how beautiful a rose is, it still has thorns. Hugging it will leave you with wounds, and it's nowhere near as comfortable as a cloud pillow.
He Yunxiao lingered in Sister Jiang's arms for a while before reluctantly getting up from her.
"My wife..."
"Yes, Wuyou is here."
"I, cough cough, I've been getting quite close to a girl lately, and I'm planning to ask my father to propose to her." He Yunxiao intended to tell Sister Jiang about Ruobao and get her advice.
Jiang Wuyou wasn't surprised. Because of her strong support for He Yunxiao's search for the female lead and her encouragement to intensify his efforts, He Yunxiao was practically inseparable from her. She knew everything about the five female leads: Meng Qingqian, Meng Qingrou, Chu Xiaoxiao, Fan Ziruo, and Du Yinyun.
In this sense, Jiang Wuyou is significantly more sophisticated than the other female protagonists, and is essentially fulfilling the duties of a "legitimate wife taking a concubine on behalf of her husband".
Seeing He Yunxiao hesitate, Jiang Wuyou smiled and asked, "Which one exactly?"
"Fan".
"How far has it come?"
He Yunxiao coughed lightly and said in a way that Jiang Wuyou could understand, "We've already gotten her capital back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyou's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
She knew something about Fan Ziruo's reputation, but she never expected that such a well-mannered, virtuous, and dignified lady, who adhered to proper etiquette, was actually... married before even getting married...
She knew Fan Ziruo and He Yunxiao had an ambiguous relationship, but she never expected it to go that far...
As the special envoy of the Yan Emperor in charge of the intelligence network, Jiang Wuyou knew more inside information than most people. For example, there was a rumor circulating recently that Meng Qingqian was planning to have the Emperor marry Fan Ziruo to win over Fan Changshu. If that's the case, then this Meng woman, who was on the list of top contenders for Empress, was snatched away by her husband using the simplest yet most difficult method.
"Xiao'er, are you... really?"
He Yunxiao smiled wryly and said, "My wife, don't you believe me?" Then, He Yunxiao leaned close to Jiang Wuyou and secretly took out a handkerchief to show her.
Upon seeing the bright red virgin blood on the handkerchief, Jiang Wuyou stopped asking questions.
She went straight to the point, saying, "Xiao'er, are you worried that your father won't allow it?"
He Yunxiao nodded. After all, it was Sister Jiang who truly understood him.
"I'm not only worried that my dad won't allow it, but I'm also worried that they'll fight."
Jiang Wuyou calmly analyzed, "Father should have agreed."
He Yunxiao was delighted, "How do you know?"
"You're just being hypocritical after getting a good deal!" Jiang Wuyou laughed and scolded, "What grandfather would complain about having too many grandchildren? The Marquis's mansion isn't short of money to feed a few more people, you can afford to support as many as you want. Besides, including the two princesses, this is only the third one. It's far worse than the average marquis's family."
Upon hearing this, He Yunxiao quickly went up and put his arm around Sister Jiang's waist: "Wife, won't you include yourself?"
Jiang Wuyou snorted and said, "Wuyou is just a head maid who serves the ladies."
He Yunxiao quickly replied, "What maid? She's their eldest sister."
Jiang Wuyou frowned: "Don't talk nonsense. Wuyou's status is too lowly to be the elder sister of the princess."
“My lady…” He Yunxiao held Jiang Wuyou tightly around the waist, “If you were a princess of Yan, the future empress of Yan, would you still be willing to stay by my side?”
He Yunxiao's words made Jiang Wuyou's delicate body tremble slightly.
She had also mentally prepared herself, assuming she had an extraordinary background. In her childhood memories, her parents' daily behavior was quite different from that of ordinary people. For example, her mother never acted like a typical peasant woman, prone to shrewish outbursts. However, the combination of "Princess of Yan" and "Empress of Yan" was simply too intimidating. It even frightened Jiang Wuyou.
"My wife..." He Yunxiao hugged Jiang Wuyou tightly, afraid she would run away.
Jiang Wuyou felt the strength in He Yunxiao's hand around her waist; nothing was more reassuring than his concern.
"Don't worry, my husband. Wuyou won't go anywhere. She'll stay right here by your side."
"My lady, I've brought my mother-in-law from the Yan Kingdom. She's living in the palace now. When are you going to visit her?"
Jiang Wuyou pursed her lips and said, "You, let me think about it first..."
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "Now that everything is over, the Yan Emperor has nothing left to restrain my wife. So, what about the principal my wife owes me...?"
Jiang Wuyou knew she couldn't escape this day. After all, paying back debts is a matter of course.
What is owed to He Yunxiao will be repaid sooner or later.
The voluptuous beauty in He Yunxiao's arms, her face slightly flushed, breathed softly and asked, "Do you want it now, my husband?"
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "We've already waited this long, what's a little longer? Mengbao and Ruobao gave themselves to me too hastily, I don't want my sister to give herself to me so easily."
"Then what do you want?"
"At the very least, we should decorate this room, buy some good wine and food, and after we've eaten and drunk our fill, we should talk with my wife all night long until dawn."
Jiang Wuyou lowered her head and nestled gently in He Yunxiao's arms. "I'll do whatever you say, but remember to rest."
He Yunxiao remained silent, saying that whether or not to rest would be clear in time.
He Yunxiao slowly reached out, lifted Jiang Wuyou's chin, and then meticulously and thoroughly collected interest twice.
Amidst the beautiful woman's tender gaze, flushed face, and soft breaths, He Yunxiao straightened up, finished breathing, and licked his lips with lingering satisfaction.
This was probably the last time he would collect interest, because afterwards he would have to collect both the principal and interest.
"My lady, we still need to talk about Mr. Fan."
Jiang Wuyou joked, "Not called Ziruo anymore?"
He Yunxiao, ever the smooth talker, replied, "That depends on who you're with. With my wife, it's only my wife, my sister, Wuyou, and 'Youbao'."
"What 'Worry Treasure'?"
"The girls I've taken advantage of are all babies."
Jiang Wuyou understood, blushed, and chuckled as she scolded, "You little lecher! You're so improper!"
He Yunxiao didn't care at all; Sister Jiang was the best to him.
After making a scene, Jiang Wuyou began to seriously offer advice to He Yunxiao. Several female leads could give He Yunxiao suggestions, but Jiang Wuyou was the only one who could give him advice on how to win over the female lead.
"You don't need to worry too much about your father. At most, he'll give you a beating, but he'll still help you propose marriage. Only a fool wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like Fan Ziruo, who could become an empress."
He Yunxiao nodded repeatedly, "Youbao is right!"
Jiang Wuyou blushed slightly upon hearing "Youbao".
As a grown woman, being called "baby" by He Yunxiao always made her feel extremely ashamed.
"So, the only thing you need to consider is the reaction of the other girls after your father goes to the Fan family to propose marriage. It's best to make the proposal to the Fan family both grand and low-key."
