Based on Princess Mingzhu’s status, no matter how one looked at it, it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay in the general’s residence. Not only was there the difference between a monarch and a subject, there was the difference between men and women as well as her unmarried female reputation.
They were clearly taking her into consideration and had especially made vegetarian dishes so that she could show filial piety towards her family, but she was actually saying that they didn’t need to hold back on her account.
Even though the deceased required proper honor! Old Madame Shen’s facial muscles trembled as she forced down overwhelming feelings of annoyance and disgust.
“Princess, you don’t like the food I’ve prepared for you?” An Lingyun felt a little wronged. She had specially prepared this for Princess Mingzhu and Princess Mingzhu’s parents had passed away.
Princess Mingzhu hastily explained in a touched tone, “That’s not it, Lingyun, do you know how touched I am? But I want to be like you guys, I don’t want to be treated specially like an outsider. I want to become part of your family. Your family is so warm. There’s an amiable grandmother, an outstanding father, and a noble and dignified mother.”
An Lingyun immediately forgave Princess Mingzhu and An Yu also added, “Don’t worry about anything while staying here. We’ll take good care of you.”
An You walked in, dressed in water blue garments, and said, “Everyone, there’s no need to worry about Princess Mingzhu all the time. Just treat her as a member of the family. There’s no need to exclude her or give her special treatment. Allow her to feel the warmth of a family.”
“General.” Princess Mingzhu looked towards An You infatuatedly, her eyes filled with emotion. However, when she saw the composed and dignified madame, she started feeling sorry for herself again. He already had a wife, a noble and dignified wife.
However, she couldn’t help but long for his warmth. She wanted to be enveloped in his warmth. God, please just allow her to enjoy the general’s warmth a little more. Heavens, please forgive her greed.
When the old madame heard what her son said, her brows furrowed so much they could practically suffocate.
On the other hand, Ning Shu was laughing inside. An You looked old, but inwardly he was completely immature. He never got guidance from a fatherly figure and had never felt much burden from responsibility. His mother was indulgent and his wife yielded to him, so in reality, he never had to face much harshness from the world.
Essentially, he was the same as Princess Mingzhu.
He embarked on a campaign to flee from his own feelings, but how could someone who was burdened with love problems focus on the battles seriously? He completely disregarded the trail of accumulating solder bones behind him.
He, who had triumphed in every battle, actually lost this time. The humiliation in addition to the emotional torment drove him to commit suicide, but in the end, Princess Mingzhu rushed over just in time and he decided to live again.
Then he ran back saying that he wanted to be with Princess Mingzhu.
Ning Shu only wanted to ask, how’s your face? How in the world is your face so thick?
An You was just an elderly that knew no shame, a husband that knew no loyalty, a father that deserved no respect, a son that was not filial, and a subject that had no intelligence. He was a man that was the definition of gold and jade on the outside, shabby material on the inside.
It wasn’t possible to see during normal times, but as soon as some things happened, his true character would become revealed in its full entirely. There was for example, this matter of Princess Mingzhu. He displayed complete lack of intelligence.
Ning Shu said, “The princess has a high and noble status. How could she ever be like us?”
“I can, why can’t I? I want to become friends with everyone, we’re all equal,” said Princess Mingzhu firmly.
Jesus ah. Ning Shu was completely speechless.
An Yu’s gaze as he looked at Princess Mingzhu grew even brighter while An Lingyun’s expression filled with adoration. Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she looked at her children. It seemed that she needed to do a little something.
Everyone sat down, but the atmosphere was very strange. Old Madame Shen Shi’s facial color was very poor, but An You didn’t notice at all and just looked on with a smile as his children chatted happily with Princess Mingzhu.
Ning Shu saw that the old madame’s hand was trembling with anger as she clenched her chopsticks. It was clearly taking a lot for her to endure this.
