After being forced to marry by her stepmother, the Koi wife brings prosperity to the whole family

The old man was very angry.

Mrs. Chang took a sip of tea and said, "Now my eldest son is the head of the Chang family in Beijing, and they dare not blame me."

Mrs. Chang's eldest son is about the same age as Zhou Ruiyuan, and now he is a second-rank official in Beijing.

Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "If I hadn't pissed you off, you wouldn't have married Mr. Chang out of spite."

Mrs. Chang put down the cup and smiled, "It's not your fault. Even if I hadn't been angry with you, I would have had to marry him. My parents had already accepted his betrothal gifts."

"You've already accepted their betrothal gifts?" Mrs. Zhou was a little surprised.

Mrs. Chang nodded slightly and said, "Well, before I quarreled with you that day, our two families had already decided on the marriage."

"Then why did you..." Aunt Zhou's face was full of confusion.

Mrs. Chang looked at the cup in silence for a long time, and finally told the secret for so many years, "Because of the Third Prince."

Aunt Zhou was shocked, "What do you mean?"

Mrs. Chang smiled helplessly and said slowly, "Back then, I liked the Third Prince, but he liked you, so I quarreled with you on purpose, wanting to make you feel guilty for the rest of your life, but in the end I am sorry for you."

"I clearly knew that you liked the Third Prince, but I didn't tell him, and I clearly knew that the Third Prince liked you, but I didn't tell you."

As she said this, she slowly stopped smiling, her face full of guilt.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou raised her hand and gently patted her shoulder, "So it's this matter, it's not your fault."

Mrs. Chang raised her head and looked at her in surprise, "Not my fault?"

Mrs. Zhou sat down next to her and replied, "The prince has already explained to me that I wrote him a letter before entering the palace, but unfortunately he didn't receive it. It was the emperor who did it. Even if you wanted to tell him, the emperor would never let you open your mouth."

Mrs. Chang suddenly remembered that every time she wanted to tell Aunt Zhou, she was instigated by the emperor.

At this moment, she suddenly realized, "It turns out that he was the one who was causing all this trouble."

Mrs. Chang became more and more angry, "Since he went to so much trouble to get you into the palace, why didn't he treat you well?"

Mrs. Zhou looked out the window and said, "It's like the flowers in the yard. Occasionally you see a beautiful flower, but if you see it every day, you will get tired of it."

Mrs. Chang shook her head, then grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, now the Third Prince is by your side, and you have left the palace. Otherwise, you and him..."

Mrs. Chang hesitated to speak.

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Aren't we together now?"

Mrs. Chang was stunned, "But I heard the Third Prince say..."

Mrs. Zhou looked towards the door, "I can't tell him that I want to remarry him. He has to ask for it."

Mrs. Chang said hurriedly, "What do you mean by remarrying or not? The Queen has died a long time ago, and you are just Lu Zhou now."

Mrs. Zhou was stunned, and then said, "But I'm afraid of implicating him. If the Emperor knew he was with me, he would probably take action against him."

Mrs. Chang's eyes turned, "I have a way."

"What is it?" Aunt Zhou asked.

Mrs. Chang whispered, "I will write a letter to my father right now and tell him that the Third Prince is in Qingzhou Prefecture and has died of a serious cold."

"But in this way, he will never be able to return to Beijing again." Aunt Zhou frowned.

Madam Chang nodded and said, "That's right."

Mrs. Zhou pondered, "I don't want to trap him, a dignified prince, here to be a farmer for life."

Mrs. Chang smiled and said, "How can he be called a farmer? When Ruiyuan ascends the throne in the future, he can be given a title of marquis or a king."

Mrs. Zhou's face was still full of worry. Madam Chang was right. This was indeed feasible, but the risk was too great.

Mrs. Chang held her hand tightly and said, "The prince has never married in his life. I think he is willing to exchange his future wealth and glory for your half-life marriage."
