Tonight, He Yunxiao hugged Sister Jiang first, then his wife Nanzhu. Normally, it wouldn't seem so, but compared to the curvier Sister Jiang, it's clear how incredibly slim Nanzhu's waist is. Is this the advantage of a young girl?
Meng Qingrou was unwilling to give in so easily, "No."
He Yunxiao pulled out his trump card, "Rou'er, you've been yelling at me all night, aren't you going to make it up to me?"
Meng Qingrou hesitated.
Knowing Nan Zhu as he did, He Yunxiao knew that her hesitation meant she was willing. So he used force to pull the reluctant Nan Zhu to sit sideways on his lap and hugged her in his arms.
He Yunxiao dared not let Nanzhu sit with her legs apart like Sister Jiang, otherwise this little cat Nanzhu would definitely get angry instantly and start biting people.
"Rou'er".
"Um?"
"I plan to..." He Yunxiao thought for a moment, but instead of directly revealing his secret of redeeming Jiang Wuyou, he first told his wife, Nanzhu, a story about Sister Jiang.
Jiang Wuyou had briefly told He Yunxiao about her background. Just a few words.
To be honest, Jiang Wuyou's background wasn't very impactful to someone like He Yunxiao who was used to the tropes in novels.
But this varies from person to person.
All the novels currently available in the entire Qi Kingdom combined don't even compare to the number of online novels He Yunxiao has read.
For Meng Qingrou, an incredibly innocent, kind-hearted girl overflowing with empathy, Jiang Wuyou's childhood experiences of famine, displacement, bullying, hunger, and being sold by her own parents were completely unimaginable to someone who had lived in the palace since childhood.
He Yunxiao's presentation was not very engaging.
But before He Yunxiao could finish speaking, Meng Qingrou leaned on his shoulder, moved to tears by Sister Jiang's words.
“Rou’er…” He Yunxiao gently patted her back.
He Yunxiao's original intention in telling the story was to increase the success rate of Nan Zhu's wife agreeing to Sister Jiang's redemption and going to the Marquis's mansion. He never expected it to have such an amazing effect.
I underestimated the simplicity and kindness of Nanzhu's wife.
"Sister Wuyou... Waaah... So pitiful..."
"Rou'er, I'll take Jiang Wuyou to the Marquis's mansion for a while so she can enjoy a good life. After you and I get married, we can all live together, play together every day, and be happy every day, okay?"
Meng Qingrou sobbed as she agreed, "Waaah... okay..."
He Yunxiao was secretly delighted.
But to everyone's surprise, Nanzhu's wife immediately changed her mind.
"Who, who said I have to marry you? My mother hasn't agreed yet."
Upon hearing this, He Yunxiao thought to himself that Sister Jiang's redemption was now assured.
He looked at Nanzhu in his arms again, seeing her sobbing obediently against his chest, and didn't believe her stubborn lies at all. He had held her hand, hugged her, and even touched her lips; how could she still be so stubborn?
"The Empress Dowager has agreed, aren't you going to get married?"
"Wait, let's wait until Mother agrees before we talk about it..."
He Yunxiao deliberately used a provocation tactic, "If you don't marry me, don't regret it when your sister Meng Qingqian begs you to marry me."
To He Yunxiao's surprise, his wife Nan Zhu, who was not very bright, actually trusted her sister a lot.
"My sister wouldn't do that."
It was already late at night, and after Meng Qingrou had cried her heart out, she was exhausted and sleepy.
He Yunxiao then coaxed her to sleep by the bedside before quietly leaving.
