Chapter 81 Royal Wet Nurse (3)
Does he truly love Yun Yarou, or is it just a delicate woman he's imagined relying on him...?
And then forcibly impose those wonderful qualities onto Yun Yarou?
Jiang Hongfei was lost in confusion.
However, reality did not allow him to remain depressed for too long.
Lady Hou fainted, and all the affairs of the manor, big and small, were handed over to the new mistress, Yun Yarou.
Yun Yarou came to find him in a panic.
His tone even carried disbelief, questioning, and deep regret—
"Young Master, how come this Marquis's mansion is now just an empty shell?!"
She was just feeling smug about becoming the Crown Prince's wife.
She thought that as long as she married into the Marquis's mansion, it wouldn't matter even if Jiang Hongfei temporarily lost the Emperor's favor.
Affairs in the imperial court can change in an instant.
It won't be difficult to regain the emperor's favor.
Simply avoid the limelight for now.
But to their surprise, they didn't even have enough money to keep going.
Yun Yarou had assumed that Jiang Hongfei would have a private stash of cash.
But he couldn't even afford to compensate Bai Ruofu with one-third of the 300,000 taels of silver.
This is equivalent to owing the Bai family a debt.
Without the support of money, all romantic notions become utterly ridiculous.
Even basic necessities like food and clothing have become a problem.
The servants of the Marquis's mansion were dismissed.
Noble families would not dismiss their servants until the very last resort.
They would also treat the old servants and servants in the mansion well.
This demonstrates both generosity and the family's strength.
-
Jiang Hongfei could only make money by copying books.
My hands are sore and aching.
When Lady Hou woke up, she kept talking about Bai Ruofu and wanted Jiang Hongfei to go and bring Bai Ruofu back.
“Hongfei, a woman should not serve two husbands. If you lower your stance, she will definitely come back to you.”
"Otherwise... then... use some methods to let everyone know that she is your woman..."
These words were like a wake-up call.
This allowed Jiang Hongfei to rediscover his mother, the wife of the old Marquis of Changyuan.
I also came to a new understanding of this unbearable world.
He won't go to Jiangnan.
-
While the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion was in dire straits, Bai Ruofu was serving tea to the emperor who was traveling south of the Yangtze River.
The Empress Dowager looked at her with a smile and said, "Why don't you come back to the capital with me, Afu? I will definitely take care of you as if you were my own daughter."
Bai Ruofu's mother was the Empress Dowager's close friend.
However, her mother was of a simple and unassuming nature and did not publicize the matter, only telling Bai Ruofu.
Bai Ruofu's personality was like her mother's, and she had the best relationship with her mother.
It's a pity my mother passed away early.
Mr. Bai wanted to achieve upward social mobility and prepared a generous dowry for his daughter, also because he didn't want her to be looked down upon because of her status as the daughter of a merchant.
But this doesn't mean that his daughter is a "money bag without dignity".
He was so eager to go to the Marquis of Changyuan's residence to demand an explanation.
But unexpectedly, the emperor and empress dowager visited the Bai family during their trip to the south.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager had a very close relationship with her deceased wife.
He also knew how deep his feelings for his deceased wife were.
His deceased wife's health was damaged after giving birth to Afu, and he did not consider taking a concubine.
Even after his wife passed away, despite being extremely wealthy, he never considered remarrying.
Instead, he was wholeheartedly planning for his daughter's future, wanting to free her from the constraints of being "a merchant's daughter."
It was his poor judgment of character that nearly pushed his daughter into the abyss!
Fortunately, my daughter is a woman of her own mind.
The emperor took the tea brewed by Bai Ruofu, his fingertips touching the woman's slightly cool fingers, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably several times.
Everyone loves to look at a beautiful woman, especially a gentle and considerate woman like Bai Ruofu.
The Empress Dowager, feeling pity for her old friend's daughter, said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor has difficulty having children, I would definitely want you to be my daughter-in-law."
