Ning Shu looked in the direction of the imperial palace. An You and Princess Mingzhu were probably in the palace right now. The empress dowager felt heartache for the pair of siblings and wanted to arrange a place for them to stay.
An You had been looking after this delicate Princess Mingzhu who had no one to rely on this entire way back and felt that he was dutybound to continue looking after her. Hence he earnestly requested for the empress dowager to allow the princess and prince to stay at his residence for the time being.
Ning Shu practically wanted to vomit blood. What exactly was with this storyline. How exactly did the empress dowager end up being okay with an unmarried imperial princess staying at the residence of a subject, especially when the princess was still in the mourning period?
Was this just for the sake of making it convenient for An You and Princess Mingzhu to hook up?
In addition, during this entire time as they were traveling from Cloud Province back to the capital, they were both riding on the same horse. An You had found this perfectly proper because his feelings towards Princess Mingzhu were only those of fatherly affection.
In response to this, Ning Shu could only give a polite laugh. Men and women should not even touch hands when they give or receive things, but those two had been hugging the entire way here. Princess Mingzhu would often stare infatuated at this man who was old enough to be her father.
This storyline made Ning Shu want to vomit.
It was just a story that eulogized a mistress.
Don’t try to say that all ancient era men had at least three mistresses because An You had promised Wei Lingxian that she would be his only wife for life. He had said that having a wife like Wei Lingxian had made his life perfect. Wei Lingxian had believed in this shared vow, but one day, Princess Mingzhu showed up.
This Princess Mingzhu was, in plain terms, just a mistress.
Princess Mingzhu’s arrival brought the general’s residence great waves. She and An You’s unrestrainable feelings for each other hurt everyone.
An You thought that marrying Princess Mingzhu without divorcing Wei Lingxian would be the best solution, but it just hurt both women.
They would soon be able to see this Princess Mingzhu who was rumored to be the embodiment of all the good things in the world.
Ning Shu smiled brightly. She glanced towards the dark clouds gathering in the horizon. It seemed like it was about to rain soon. At this current moment, her mood was just like the weather.
The sound of horse hooves came. Everyone was shocked. Ning Shu looked over, then she also stiffened in shock.
Why the frick was An You and Princess Mingzhu still riding on the same horse in broad daylight? It didn’t really matter in Cloud Province, but this was the capital! Ning Shu seriously couldn’t understand why those two were so not bothered by this.
Was the powerful storyline eliminating everything else? This was the feudal society that had a strict sense of what was proper.
Since all of the story occurred in the general’s residence, was everything else being blurred away?
An Yu and An Lingyun didn’t really mind the woman their father was hugging, but when Old Madame saw this, she first glanced towards Ning Shu with an affirming expression in her eyes.
She was comforting Ning Shu.
Ning Shu suddenly got the feeling that this old madame was truly the most amazing figure in the back courtyard of this general’s residence. Her husband had passed away early on, but she had still managed to raise her son into an outstanding general and have her daughter-in-law treat her with upmost filial respect.
That glance just now was truly very touching. The original host would’ve thought that her mother-in-law was on her side.
