C47 Snorting with laughter (1/2)

The emperor took advantage of this opportunity to shake off Wei He and Zhao Ping, ordering someone to send them back to the capital.

Zhao Ping knew that he had embarrassed himself and was too ashamed to accompany His Holiness, so he silently accepted the decree of gratitude.

Wei was different. She was very rebellious, and it wasn't her style to give up halfway, so she decided to struggle a bit.

The result was tragic, of course. Nangong Yu ordered, ”Tie up Princess Qi and Yu Hua, then send them back as fast as possible. Also, Duke Yu's mansion will be closed for a month.”

A certain woman could not accept this, ”Royal Uncle, you can't do this!”

”Two months.”

”…” A certain girl could only admit defeat.

After getting rid of the two burdens, His Majesty was happy, and with Shangguan Wan's recovery, they should prepare to continue their journey. After all, it was not a good thing to miss the auspicious occasion of Emperor Nanyan's birthday.

The bed in the private room had also become an iron bed, so he no longer had to worry about it collapsing.

Out of curiosity, Shangguan Wan asked a question like 'Little Cuisine, how did you see your wife?' in private.

Shangguan Wan had actually heard some rumors, saying that Madam Bao's family was very rich, and that the first reason Bao Cui married her was for her family's wealth. After all, for a ugly and fat woman like her to catch the eyes of a man, that person must have been blind.

However, to everyone's surprise, he did not ask his father-in-law for even a single cent from the small dish. Everything that he had done so far had been obtained through his own hard work. Of course, he had also put in a lot of effort for this.

Bao Cui smiled and said in a low voice, ”Actually, I don't want to talk about it. It's just that the two parties have an engagement since they were very young. No one can trust each other.”

Shangguan Wan was touched. He was indeed a righteous man, ”If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would even think of breaking the engagement.”

Bao Cui smiled coyly, ”If I don't marry her, she might never be able to marry me in her entire life. Since I married her, I naturally have to be good to her. This should have been my responsibility as her husband.”

It was not surprising for the optimistic and cheerful Bao Daifang to say such words, but it was still touching.

”You're really different from others.” Shangguan Wan suddenly felt like meeting up with someone late, she had learnt a lot from him.

”Humans, you have to be optimistic while living in this world. The heavens have given you a path, but it is one day of pain and hesitation, and another day of happiness and enjoyment. Why don't you use the best mentality to face it?”

Over the years, he had come to realize that, in addition to her physical appearance, Madame was a rare woman who was willing to endure hardships, devote herself to herself, and occasionally act coquettishly, filling his life with joy.

”Well said.” Shangguan Wan patted his shoulder, ”Do you want to go to Beijing to become a high-ranking official?”
