"Wang Tong, don't make excuses. My mother asked you to accompany me, not to steal my husband. Are you worthy of me and my mother?" Yuan Shiwan suppressed his anger and asked Wang Tong.
Wang Tong snorted and muttered: "Second cousin, you don't think that my aunt doesn't know that I will do this, do you? She sent me here to be the third prince's concubine."
"You...what did you say?" Yuan Shiwan's eyes widened when he heard her words, and his voice trembled as he asked in disbelief, "You said that your mother specially sent you to be the third prince's concubine. of?"
Wang Tong was shocked when he saw her shocked and about to collapse. He finally realized that he had betrayed his aunt by telling her, so he hurriedly added: "Don't think too much, my aunt is too." She wants me to help you win over the Third Prince because she is worried about you. She is also kind-hearted. After all, sisters working together can be as powerful as gold..."
"What a sister who has the same heart and can cut through metal!" Yuan Shiwan's eyes were red, and tears fell heavily, heartbroken, "Why did even my mother betray me? Or when I was the most sad? Is this how she helps me find a solution?"
She suddenly paused, and the words she had told her at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty about not trusting her stepmother too much came to mind. She smiled bitterly. Didn't her sister already know that her stepmother didn't really love her? It's a pity that I didn't believe in my sister at first, but instead believed in my sweet-faced and bitter-hearted stepmother. Now she has finally reaped the consequences! Who can blame this? I can only blame myself for being too naive.
Yuan Shiwan seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. She wiped away her tears and said to Wang Tong, "Please leave, you are no longer welcome here."
"How can this be done?" Wang Tong blurted out, "Second cousin, do you want to give up the third prince to your other daughters?"
"Yes, I would rather give it up to other women than to you!" Yuan Shiwan couldn't help but yell at Wang Tong, and finally got tough and forcefully sent Wang Tong back to her home. No matter how hard she struggled for mercy.
After sending Wang Tong away, Yuan Shiwan sat quietly alone for a long time. She felt like a fool, pitiful and ridiculous. She believed everything after being coaxed casually. Her stepmother Wang was now. So does the third prince.
Her stepmother was so kind to her back then, asking for her well-being, staying overnight when she was sick, taking care of her like she was her own child, and treating her as if she were her own child. But which mother who truly loved her daughter would wholeheartedly want her natal niece to be her son-in-law's concubine?
Yuan Shiwan felt that after she was betrayed by her husband, she was also betrayed by her stepmother. For a moment, she felt that her life was terrible and she was despairing. From now on, she would never be that innocent, lively and carefree person again. Yuan Shi was wan.
No matter how heartbroken Yuan Shiwan was because of the backstabbing by her husband and stepmother, the process of accepting the concubine still went on in an orderly manner, and finally the day came for the concubine to enter the house.
The bride is the granddaughter of a general and has a prominent family background. Even if she is a concubine, the wedding is held with great grandeur. It is even more lively than the day Yuan Shiwan came in. After all, Yuan Shiwan was just the daughter of a civil servant with no real power, and Both Concubine Xian and the emperor were dissatisfied with her family background, so they were not too concerned about her wedding to the third prince.
Yuan Shiwan listened to the lively sounds of guests having a banquet and setting off firecrackers outside, her heart was in knots, and her face was full of tears.
Finally, at night, the guests slowly left, and the house began to quiet down. She sat blankly, wondering if she could wait until the third prince came back to comfort her...
The third prince said he would not touch other women. Can he keep this promise? Yuan Shiwan spent the whole night staring at the dancing candlelight, surviving this difficult night as time passed.
Ji Xinbai promised Yuan Shiwan that he would not touch those women. He thought very simply. As long as he did not take the initiative, the untouched bride would be very reserved and ignorant. Even if there was no bridal chamber, she would probably be embarrassed to say it out. .
But he forgot that the newly married concubine Cheng Shuxiang was not one of those shy and reserved ladies in the capital. She had lived in the frontiers with her grandfather and father. The people in the frontiers were all straightforward and enthusiastic. She had been influenced by her experience and had become generous. Bold.
During the wedding night, if her husband didn't touch her, she wouldn't wait around stupidly. After all, wasn't it natural for her to be affectionate with her husband? So what's wrong with her taking the initiative?

So she took the initiative, and Ji Xinbai couldn't resist her initiative at all. Of course, in the face of the beauty's devotion, it was also possible that he didn't want to refuse, so he just pushed her and accomplished good things with her.
After struggling for most of the night, the two called for water three times, which shows how much love they have. Yuan Shiwan's people were always paying attention to the situation of the new house, so they naturally knew about the call for water. Soon, the news reached Yuan Shiwan's ears. inside.
Yuan Shiwan never expected that Ji Xinbai's promise could not last even one night. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked. Her back, which had been sitting upright, suddenly collapsed. , she had no strength left in her body.
If Ji Xinbai could persist for a few months before touching Cheng Shuxiang, she would be able to comfort herself that it was a long-lasting love, but if he couldn't persist for even a day, she would no longer be able to deceive herself.
That night Yuan Shiwan's tears soaked the entire pillow.
The next day, Concubine Cheng came to pay her respects as the principal concubine. Ji Xinbai came with her. As soon as she came in, Yuan Shiwan saw the extremely gentle look on his face towards Concubine Cheng. Once there was any conflict between men and women, The most intimate relationship, the intimacy and harmony is easy for people to see, and no one can get in.
However, this scene was very dazzling in Yuan Shiwan's eyes. She looked at Ji Xinbai expressionlessly. Ji Xinbai met her eyes that were hiding pain. Thinking of his previous promise to her, he suddenly felt guilty and finally I feel a little sorry for her.
However, Concubine Cheng is also innocent. She married him, how could he let her remain a widow? This was so unfair to her. She had thought wrong before. If she really didn't touch her concubine, wouldn't her mother-in-law be very dissatisfied with her? The gain is really not worth the loss... So Wanwan should be able to understand that she can't help herself, right?
Ji Xinbai thought this, and soon felt confident again. The guilty conscience disappeared immediately, but after all, Yuan Shiwan was his beloved. He was desperate to marry back his wife, and he also cared about her feelings. So he said to her gently and considerately: "Wanwan, why don't you sleep a little longer? Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you tired from sitting? I think your face is a little pale..."
As he spoke, he reached out distressedly to touch Yuan Shiwan's hand, but Yuan Shiwan slapped his outstretched hand away with a "pop", and the scene fell silent.
