Chapter 816 Marrying a Woman from a High-Ranking Family?
Although Li Wanhe was unwilling, she knew that what was done was done and there was no other way.
The thought that all of this was thanks to that mysterious person filled her with a burning desire to drag him out and then thoroughly humiliate him.
It's a pity that now that she's entered the Luo family's gates, she can't even leave through the second gate, let alone the main gate of the Luo residence.
Nowadays, even the maids around her have to ask for permission from the head maidservant of Princess Zhaoyang before they can go out.
"Wanhe, I'm sorry to have wronged you. I know Zhaoyang has a rather fiery temper. If you suffer any grievances, just bear with it for now, and I'll find a way to plead for you when I get back."
"You flatter me, Erlang. Now that I have entered the Luo family, I am naturally a member of your Luo family. The princess is of noble status, while I am merely a concubine's daughter from a general's mansion. How could I dare to fight against her? As long as the princess can tolerate me and allow me to live a peaceful life, that is enough."
Listen to how tactful and sensible those words are.
Suddenly, Li Wanhe's status with Prince Consort Luo rose several levels.
Li Wanhe was formerly a concubine's daughter and was used to being a good person. So, she quickly adapted to her new status. Not only did she come to the princess to pay her respects every day, but she also went to the old lady's place to pay her respects every day. Moreover, because of her lowly status, she would only bow and kowtow in the courtyard before leaving.
Her deliberate humility quickly won over the hearts of the entire Luo family.
Even the first wife, who had always disliked the concubines, developed some affection for this second wife's concubine.
As a concubine, one must be aware of one's status as a concubine.
Li Wanhe was used to being humble and subservient, which naturally made her popular.
In addition, the upbringing she received in the Li family was no less than that of the legitimate daughter. Therefore, although she appeared to be humble and subservient, her demeanor was quite different from that of an ordinary concubine.
When Madam Luo saw her, and then looked at the concubines in her own courtyard, she thought it was truly outrageous!
Although Li Wanhe was a concubine, she never dressed too flamboyantly and was always cautious, never daring to overshadow the princess.
When they came to pay their respects to the old lady, they dared not let themselves outshine the eldest lady and the others.
As a result, Li Wanhe's popularity soared.
In addition, since Luo Fuma had never been able to bring a concubine into the household before, now that he finally had a beautiful concubine by his side and could see her every day, the feeling was naturally incomparably wonderful.
Not long after, there were no more imperial edicts from the princess, so he stopped going to her courtyard.
Princess Zhaoyang, being a daughter raised by the royal family, naturally valued her reputation and status the most.
Now she feels that if she sends imperial edicts to the prince consort too frequently, it would be a loss of face for her.
Fortunately, Prince Consort Luo hadn't completely lost his mind; on the first and fifteenth of the month, he still remembered to pay his respects to the princess.
Before, there was no comparison in the mansion, so Prince Consort Luo's life just went on like that.
Now that he has a gentle and affectionate concubine in his household, his dissatisfaction with Princess Zhaoyang has been growing day by day.
Consort Luo held Li Wanhe in his arms as they slept together. Thinking about how he had always seen his elder brother with a rosy complexion in the mornings, while he sometimes had dark circles under his eyes, he went to pay his respects to the old lady.
At the time, he didn't feel too wronged. After all, he was Princess Shang, and this honor and dignity were something his elder brother couldn't understand.
But now, thinking about how he's had a beautiful woman by his side these past few days, he realizes how wonderful his life has been.
To put it simply, before, when it was just him and the princess, whenever he returned to the manor, he was practically a servant. He had to serve the princess first, and only then was he considered a master.
If you displease the princess, it's not uncommon for her to not let you sleep all night; she might even make you kneel and recite your lessons.
What now?
After returning to his residence, aside from the usual formal greetings, he could come to Li Wanhe's place, where she would serve him meticulously. This feeling was naturally indescribable.
The way one's own woman serves him is vastly different from the way ordinary maids serve him.
In addition, Li Wanhe really knew how to understand his thoughts. Whenever he stayed, she would advise him to visit the princess more often, so as not to anger the princess again.
The more she acted this way, the more the Prince Consort Luo felt that she was sensible and gentle, practically a typical virtuous wife and loving mother!
Having lived almost half my life, I'm only now beginning to understand what it means to be as warm and soft as jade.
Thus, because of Li Wanhe, Princess Zhaoyang's relationship with her husband plummeted.
Princess Zhaoyang was used to being high and mighty, so how could she possibly bow her head and submit?
For years, it was always the prince consort who pampered her; she had never pampered him even once.
In fact, Mu Xin Nuan did not expect that the Luo family would be thrown into chaos because of Li Wan He's entry into the household.
When Madam Li learned that her son had found someone he loved, she first sent someone to inquire about the matter. She learned that General Chu's residence was indeed inhabited by a family, or more precisely, a mother and her two sons.
I only heard that years ago, the girl's father died in a battle, and the court provided compensation. Later, the family could no longer make a living in their hometown, so they came to seek refuge with General Chu.
Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that she was the daughter of General Chu's distant cousin.
Li actually had some reservations about this girl.
Even if Mu Qingxuan cannot marry a woman from a high-ranking family, he should at least find a girl from a scholarly family to be worthy of his status, right?
What's more, Mu Xin Nuan is now the Crown Princess!
If Duanmu Chuze were to ascend the throne in the future, and his brother-in-law were to marry such a lowly woman, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?
After Li called her son over and asked him carefully, she learned that her son and the girl had only met twice and had never even spoken to each other.
In other words, the son had no idea what kind of feelings he had for the girl or whether he had promised her to her.
When Li entered the palace, she told Mu Xin Nuan about her worries.
Mu Xin Nuan frowned slightly. Her thoughts on Mu Qing Xuan were much the same as Li Shi's.
However, in Mu Xin Nuan's opinion, his future wife must have some skills and methods. Otherwise, she was worried that Ah Xuan's honest nature might lead to him being bullied by his own family in the future, which would be troublesome.
Think back to my past life, how did Mu Qingyuan seize the Mu family's business?
Although in this life, Mu Qingyuan still trusts and relies on her and his mother to the extreme, it is hard to say whether he might have other ideas one day.
Therefore, Mu Xin Nuan still insisted that Mu Qing Xuan marry a woman from a high-ranking family.
