Chapter 499 Doting on concubines and destroying wives
"Last night I saw the princess hiding under the quilt crying secretly. She was so pitiful."
"Yes, her father doesn't love her, her mother doesn't care about her, her sister bullies her, and her brother doesn't like her. She finally has a family, but even her husband doesn't value her."
"Alas, so what if you're a princess? Aren't you still a poor creature that no one loves? If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to survive!"
"Who says it's not..."
……
Fu Wuyang's steps suddenly froze, and he couldn't leave the main courtyard gate.
After looking outside and then back at the door, he turned and walked over.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard crying from inside.
Nanny Wang: "Princess, how can you let the prince go? How are you going to explain this to the master and his wife? They will definitely look down on you even more."
Shen Ruchu choked with sobs, "It's okay, Madam. What if I suffer a little injustice? Anyway, I've been used to it since I was a child... As long as the prince can get what he wants, even if I die, it's worth it..."
Listening to her being so compromising, Fu Wuyang felt more and more guilty.
Then, Su Lanyin's cold eyes appeared in his mind, and he felt inexplicably scared.
What's more, Su Lanyin's mother and brother love her very much. Even if he doesn't accompany her back home, I think she won't be as pitiful as Shen Ruchu, right?
Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
"As before..."
Shen Ruchu looked up and saw him come in, and immediately rushed over excitedly and threw herself into his arms.
"Ayang! I knew you wouldn't abandon me, woooo..."
Fu Wuyang's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness, and he said softly: "I've thought about it, and I'd better go back with you to take a look."
Shen Ruchu looked at him in surprise, with joy in her eyes that she couldn't hide: "Really? Thank you, Ayang!"
"Well, pack it up quickly. If you come back crying like this, you will think I bullied you."
"Okay, I'll clean it up right away!"
Shen Ruchu happily turned around and sat on the chair, letting Nanny Wang dress her up, with a happy and satisfied smile in her eyes.
Fu Wuyang looked at her, feeling deeply moved.
Why can't Su Lanyin be like her...
……
Outside the palace gate.
Two carriages stopped by the roadside.
Su Lanyin glanced at the car in front, lowered her head and prepared to get on the one behind.
"Concubine Su."
Shen Ruchu's voice rang out and she looked back.
Fu Wuyang accompanied Shen Ruchu out of the gate and walked down the stairs.
Su Lanyin inexplicably recalled the promise Fu Wuyang had made to her that day, saying that he would accompany her back home.
But now...
It’s really ridiculous to think about it. Even though she knew he was just talking nonsense, she still held on to a last glimmer of hope before leaving.
"I pay my respects to the prince and the princess."
She bowed, dignified and polite, and was very obedient.
Shen Ruchu raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of pride, but she deliberately said: "Concubine Su, I'm so sorry, the prince said to accompany me back to take a look, what do you think of this matter..."
Su Lanyin smiled, looking calm and relaxed.
"It doesn't matter. You are the prince's first wife, the principal wife. It is only natural for the prince to accompany you back home. I am just a concubine. How can it be my turn to accompany you? If he really accompanied me, wouldn't it make people laugh at the prince for favoring his concubine over his wife?"
These words suddenly made Fu Wuyang realize something. He raised his eyes and looked at Su Lanyin nervously. He opened his mouth to explain something, but he couldn't speak.
But my heart was already in a panic!
He suddenly realized what he had done to her!
His first wife was not Su Lanyin, but Shen Ruchu.
If you treat her better than your wife, it means you are favoring your concubine over your wife, which is not allowed by the world.
He obviously liked her so much, but he pushed her under the feet of another woman.
He was too impatient and made the wrong move.
But don't do this, what if she...
Fu Wuyang thought about what he had overheard.
Doctor Xue told her that she could either marry Prince Xiaoyao as a concubine or follow the Seventh Prince and leave Shengjing.
Hearing this, he was really panicked, afraid that Su Lanyin would leave with Fu Mingchuan, so he anxiously asked the emperor for an imperial decree to grant the marriage.
Moreover, when they were in trouble, she also promised to be his concubine.
But when she agreed, she also said that she wanted a letter of divorce, and if he married someone as his principal wife, he would have to let her go.
At that time, he had not thought of marrying Shen Ruchu, it was just the condition of the marriage granted by the emperor, that was it.
If he doesn't marry Shen Ruchu, he can't let Su Lanyin marry him. He even plans to arrange a marriage for her and Fu Mingchuan.
How could Fu Wuyang allow this to happen, so he agreed immediately.
This led to the current situation.
Fortunately, Su Lanyin has not mentioned the divorce letter yet.
So he didn't dare to face her, for fear of making her remember it.
"It's getting late, let's go quickly."
Fu Wuyang urged, not even daring to look at Su Lanyin, and hurriedly got on the carriage.
Shen Ruchu laughed and said, "Look, the prince is so anxious that he can't wait to go back with me."
Su Lanyin looked at her coldly, her eyes cold and clear: "Oh, congratulations, princess."
After saying that, she turned and got on the carriage.
Shen Ruchu said disdainfully: "Why are you pretending? Who knows how aggrieved you must be, humph!"
After saying that, she put on a smiling face, turned around and got on the carriage.
The two carriages were driving in opposite directions.
……
Lu family.
As soon as Su Lanyin got out of the car, she saw her mother and brothers standing at the door waiting for her.
"Yinyin!"
"Mother! Big brother and second brother!"
They ran towards each other and hugged each other, their hearts and eyes filled with family.
Su Lanyin asked: "Still no news about Third Brother and Sister Song?"
Lu Wanjun shook her head helplessly: "No."
Su Shengyun said, "But don't worry, I have sent people to look for him, and I have also written a letter to my uncle. He has a wide network of contacts, so maybe he can be found."
Su Shengyan: "Yes, I also sent people to the place you mentioned. There is no news yet, but I think they will definitely go there."
"Let's not stand at the door, let's go in first, eh? Wait a minute..." Lu Wanjun suddenly realized something was wrong and looked back, "Where's the prince?"
Su Shengyan quickly poked her, and Su Shengyun also blinked at the side, and Lu Wanjun finally reacted.
She lowered her head, at a loss, embarrassed like a child who had said something wrong.
Su Lanyin smiled and said naturally, "Your Highness will naturally accompany the princess back home. If he really accompanies me back, the Queen will punish me tomorrow for being ignorant."
Su Shengyan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Yes, yes, Yinyin is right. We should be careful. If the Queen finds out something wrong, who knows how she will make things difficult for Yinyin."
Su Shengyun: "It's good that he's not here. Our family will be more comfortable, right?"
"Alright, alright, let's go in quickly, Yinyin, mother asked the kitchen to cook all your favorite dishes."
