Chapter 625 Xiangling's Visit!
The marriage between Princess Fuya and Prince Ziyu was thus arranged, much to the delight of Madam Wang. She also understood that without Madam He's involvement, the marriage might not have gone so smoothly.
Lady Wang even considered that the Empress originally had no intention of betrothing Princess Fuya to Prince Ziyu.
Madam Wang was pleased and did not find anything wrong with Wang Ziyu marrying a concubine's daughter.
On the contrary, in Madam Wang's view, it was a blessing for Prince Yu to marry Princess Fuya.
This Princess Fuya was not only exceptionally beautiful, but also proficient in poetry, songs, and literature. In particular, she was a master of the pipa, her voice described as heavenly.
Furthermore, Princess Fuya's birth mother held the rank of a concubine during her lifetime.
Princess Fuya's maternal family was also a famous family. However, she had no choice but to become a concubine after marrying into the royal family. Even so, it is said that after she entered the family, she was always very respectful to the princess and never had any disputes with her.
This demonstrates his character and upbringing.
It is certainly a blessing for Prince Yu to marry Princess Fuya.
Prince He had three daughters in total, but only this one was truly favored by the prince and princess, and only she came from a relatively high social standing. The other two daughters, born to ordinary concubines, were unremarkable.
The entire Prince He's mansion has only one princess.
This shows how much the prince, princess, emperor, and empress valued this princess.
The girl was the right age and of excellent character, so Madam Wang was naturally very satisfied. Consequently, her attitude towards Madam Li improved considerably.
As soon as Li returned to the manor, she immediately wrote a letter back to Mu Xinnuan.
Lady Wang only replied to Mu Xin Nuan after receiving the imperial edict from the Empress.
The story of Wang Ziyu's marriage thus ended in a somewhat legendary way.
Madam He received the news a few days later than Mu Xin Nuan. Moreover, she heard that Mu Xin Nuan had indeed written a letter to Madam Wang about this matter. However, since the matter had not been resolved, Madam He believed that Madam Wang must have some complaints about Mu Xin Nuan.
"Your Highness, the second young mistress of the Lu family has arrived."
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Isn't she pregnant? Why is she walking around like this? Quickly, go and invite her in."
"Yes, princess."
"Why did you come? Although the pregnancy is stable now, we can't be careless. How could your mother-in-law let you come out like that?"
"Your Highness, I insisted on coming today. Although my mother wanted to stop me, it concerns my husband's important matters, so she couldn't forcefully stop me."
Mu Xin Nuan's expression turned slightly cold. "What's wrong?"
"Does Your Highness recognize your former husband's wife, the one who was divorced, Lady Yang?"
"I've met her. So, is she involved in this matter?"
"I heard that this Lady Yang has been depressed ever since she returned to her parents' home. I didn't expect that she would attempt suicide by cutting her wrists a few days ago, but fortunately she was saved. From her words, it seems that she still has feelings for my husband and insists on returning to the Lu residence."
Mu Xin Nuan was truly stunned this time. This Yang family member was far too shameless.
She was divorced because of such a serious matter, yet she still wants to return to the Lu family? Has she lost her mind, or does she simply not know what shame is?
"So what?" Mu Xin Nuan had already guessed some of the possibilities, but she was still reluctant to believe what she thought, and pressed for an answer.
"Yesterday, the Yang family actually sent someone to say that Yang Shi was willing to become a concubine and only wanted to stay with her husband. The Yang family is a family with some influence and respect in their area. I really don't know how they could say such a thing?"
Seeing that He Xiangling was clearly annoyed, Mu Xin Nuan understood that Madam Lu had probably softened her heart.
“I know that Mother has always been quite fond of this Madam Yang. Now that Madam Yang has brought people here and is speaking in a very pitiful manner, every word of hers is like a knife to your heart. Mother is quite moved and has actually agreed, saying that she will ask my husband for his opinion.”
"So Madam Lu knew you were coming to my place today, and didn't stop you?"
"Madam Lu also knows how Madam Yang left the Lu family back then, but now that the Yang family has all lowered themselves to such a position, if she continues to put on airs, people will probably say she is heartless and ungrateful. Therefore."
"Stop talking." Mu Xin Nuan was a little annoyed.
What kind of mess is this?!
A woman who had clearly been divorced was crying and begging to come back?
If they had a child together, that would be one thing. Yang's concern for the child's well-being would be understandable. But the problem is, why would a woman like her insist on clinging to Lu Shaohua?
"These things alone are making you so restless?" Mu Xin Nuan's words clearly carried a hint of doubt.
"Your Highness, if it were only that, it would be fine. But that Lady Yang, I don't know what method she used, actually bribed the servants around you to keep sending messages for you. After all, you were husband and wife, and although Lady Yang is wicked, she has never harmed you. So, you can't help but soften your heart a little."
"Lu Shaohua intends to bring her back? If so, it wouldn't be a divorce, but rather demoting her to a concubine. Has he not considered that this would be extremely damaging to his reputation?"
“Your Highness is right, that’s exactly what I’m worried about. But I have little influence, and my mother and husband are both soft-hearted now. I’m also heavily pregnant, and as you know, my situation is a bit awkward. That’s why I had no choice but to ask Your Highness for help.”
“I understand. Don’t worry, even if Lu Shaohua is stupid, he won’t bring Yang into the mansion. What you need to worry about now is whether Madam Lu’s soft heart is because she is truly moved by Yang’s kindness, or whether Yang has some other weakness in her hands.”
He Xiangling was taken aback; she really hadn't thought about this question.
"After you go back, you should still have a good talk with Madam Lu. If this matter goes through, Lu Shaohua's future will inevitably be hindered, and the relationship between the Lu and He families will be shrouded in shadow. She should know in her heart which is more important."
"I understand. But what if Madam Yang really has something on Mother's hands?"
Mu Xin Nuan smiled faintly and said calmly, "That depends on what the shortcoming is. Sometimes, people just can't be too smart. And this time, Madam Yang has undoubtedly overestimated her own intelligence and overestimated Madam Lu's position in the Lu family."
