“She has finally freed herself from a sea of suffering. Otherwise, she might not get anything in the end.” Sun Miaoke stopped writing and spoke.
“Aren’t you jealous? She hasn’t even married yet, and His Highness is already helping her so much.” Qing Tao said indignantly.
“Did someone say something to you?” Sun Miaoke asked.
“No, I just feel wronged for you.” Qing Tao shook her head.
“Is His Highness mistreating me?”
“No, but…”
“Qing Tao, from the moment I decided to marry into this family, I knew I couldn’t monopolize His Highness.
“To be honest, I’m already grateful for us being able to treat each other respectfully.
“As for Yang Wanning, honestly, she doesn’t have much weight in His Highness’s heart. The ones he really holds dear are the Gu couple.”
“So in the future…”
“Over the years, you have heard of many fights between wives and consorts, but in the end, none of them live comfortably, no matter who wins or loses.
“For example, Mrs. Cui had successfully caused the death of Mrs. Gu, but what did she get in the end?
“Did Lord Yang save her with all his heart?
“It’s obvious that even she wasn’t that important in Lord Yang’s heart.
“You saw my aunt clearly all these years.
“She is my uncle’s wife and can bully the concubines at will. My uncle also respects her very much.
“However, my uncle will still marry a new girl every two or three years.
“Do you think she really is happy?
“No, she’s bitter on the inside.
“It’s just that her heart had been in pain too many times and had become numb.
She had no choice but to only close one eye to this.”
Sun A/liaoke was in a daze as she said this. She continued, “But look at my father.
“For many years, my grandmother has brought up taking in concubines, and the officialdom even sent him many beauties.
“But he didn’t want any of them.
“What does this mean? Whether a man is a playboy or not, it all depends on his intentions.
“As a woman, the most important thing we can do is try our best to give him a warm home and present her best side to him.
“At the same time, we must protect ourselves.
“The rest depends on the man.”
The key was not to give away your true feelings first. Otherwise, your feelings might be mangled once you want to take them back.
Of course, she did not dare to say this out loud. Otherwise, if word got out, she could forget about taking another step forward with His Highness in the future.
Seeing that Sun Miaoke had thought it through clearly, Qing Tao did not say anything else and obediently retreated.
As for Sun Miaoke, she wasn’t in the mood to write anymore.
Because she did not know if she could keep her heart from wavering before the outstanding King Rui in the future.
Would she become as ruthless and unscrupulous as the Empress or Mrs. Cui?
On the other end, Zhou Ying waited for most of the residents to fall asleep before quietly leaving the house with Gu Chengrui.
They went to a small courtyard north of the city and found the little beggar who had helped her spread Yang Shicheng’s scandal during the day.
She handed him the 100 pounds of black flour and said, “Gou’zi, hide these well. It should be enough for you to eat for a winter.”
Gou’zi looked at the big bag of black flour and asked with a troubled expression, “Sister, can you help me keep it and give us ten pounds a month?”
“Reason?”
“Uncle Qi, who protected us before, has left. A group of children like us can’t guard this.”
“How old is the oldest of you?”
“Me. I’m twelve this year.” At this moment, a young beggar walked over and replied.
His eyes were fierce, like a wolf cub, and his footsteps were light. It was obvious that he had practiced some sort of martial art.
“You know martial arts?” Gu Chengrui’s eyes lit up..
