Murong Kai and A'man stayed together in the village for one night. A'man slept in the bridal chamber prepared for them by the Empress Dowager, while Murong Kai stayed outside.
When Ah Man was about to go to bed, she felt sorry for him and asked him to go into the house with her, but was rejected by Murong Kai.
"We are already married, why do we still care about these things?" Ah Man has always been casual about details. Now thinking about Murong Kai still sitting in the cold wind, especially his legs...
"Ah Man, this is the Empress Dowager's nonsense. I only acknowledge that she has granted us a marriage, nothing else counts."
"If you are willing to be my princess, I will do my best to give you the best wedding, with blessings from both parents, a wedding reception and a wedding reception."
Outside the bridal chamber, Murong Kai was describing how their wedding would look like in the future. Inside the bridal chamber, Ah Man's face turned red because of his simple promise.
"I like you, but before the wedding, I will not overstep the boundaries. Even in this unknown village, I will respect you and make you marry me willingly."
"Murong Kai, please stop talking." It must be said that Ah Man's heart was being beaten by Murong Kai's gentle words at this moment, and she didn't dare to listen any more.
Isn't it said that he is the most boring prince in the Great Zhou? These words are so touching that people want to give up everything and stay by his side, because every word he says tells her that she is the one in his heart.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you from now on."
"Murong Kai, shut up." Ah Man's face turned red. This man was really evil. He knew the lethality of his words, but he still talked to her like this. It was really...
"Okay." The words were soft and gentle, not impatient or anxious, as if what Ah Man said was not such an unreasonable request.
Because of Murong Kai's words, Ah Man finally gave up the idea of letting Murong Kai in, because she was not sure what Murong Kai would say after he came in that would make her blush and her heart beat fast.
But all sleepiness was gone. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about the man outside the door. Her heart was as sweet as honey.
This was the coldest night Murong Kai had ever experienced since he was a child, even colder than when Ah Man met him. However, at this moment, his heart was no longer dead. He had the woman in the room in his heart. When he thought of her bright smile and her angry words, his heart was filled with sweetness.
He was willing to stay with Ah Man for the rest of his life, protect her from worries, and pamper her to the skies.
Ah Man even thought that she was very lucky in her life. She had the love and care of her parents, and now she had met a man she liked. She thought that as long as she told her father and mother, a happy second half of life would be waiting for them. However, this simplest wish was completely shattered when they arrived in Bei'an.
As soon as they entered Bei'an, they heard the news that the entire family of the Duke of Zhenguo was imprisoned for colluding with foreign countries, and that the Queen Mother committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
The moment she heard the news, Ah Man looked at Murong Kai with a stunned expression.
She couldn't believe that her own mother actually committed suicide out of fear of punishment
How could it be possible? The Duke of Zhenguo was his uncle, and he and his mother had a deep brotherly love. For his mother, he would not do such a stupid thing? And his mother, although kind-hearted, was not stupid. How could she commit suicide out of fear of punishment when the charges against the Duke of Zhenguo were not yet determined
My father loves his mother so much, how could he watch her commit suicide out of fear of punishment? How could he believe that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had any rebellious intentions
If it was Concubine Zhu and the others' plan, didn't Chu Nanfeng already send the news over
What on earth was going on? In less than two months after her return trip, her mother was gone.
That gentle woman, that woman who always looked at him lovingly with a smile, that woman who taught him poetry, books, etiquette and music, actually...
died.
"Murong Kai, what they said is false, isn't it?"
