Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 210 - 207: Mother, I Won’t Blame You—Father Only Acts for the Greater Good
Lisi smiled faintly, seeing the two elders of the General’s family arriving, and tactfully left first.
General Hu Lie and his wife personally brought their daughter here and have been staying for seven days.
Over these seven days, they saw their daughter getting along well with the Princely Heir, and the worry in their hearts eased.
However, thinking about their daughter, who they had just managed to find, now having to be separated across the world, the General’s wife couldn’t hold back her tears and cried uncontrollably.
"Hui’er, don’t blame your father and me. Your father was left with no choice but to betroth you to this Princely Heir."
Seeing her cry so sorrowfully, Ruan Jiao quickly comforted her softly.
"Mother, I won’t blame you. I know Father is considering the bigger picture."
"Father, as the awe-inspiring Great General, has contributed to the country selflessly, and as the General’s daughter, for the people, for the peace of Lanqiang without war, marrying is a small matter, and I am more than willing to go!"
After all, she had gone through countless trials to reach this point, being able to take the position of the Heir’s wife, a position many could only dream of.
She felt that all of this was deserved through her own hard work, and she never felt any guilt.
Initially, she had survived in the military camp, climbed to riches, and after learning that General Hu Lie was searching for his daughter, she found ways to blend into the group of women acknowledging kinship.
She then offered herself to those handling affairs, obtaining crucial evidence, aligning herself with Mr. Li, and had the genuine birthmarked girl subjected to a punishment where her birthmark was burned off, discarded to become a camp prostitute.
She herself bore the pain of a tattoo, imprinting that birthmark on her own body, pulling off a ’cat for the prince’ trick to successfully dominate.
After becoming the true General’s daughter, the General and his wife spared no effort in searching for a Divine Doctor in Lanqiang to heal her facial scars.
Since then, she lived a life of wearing gold and silver, enjoying wealth and honor.
Even upon arriving in Da Jing, she was starting as the Heir’s wife.
This status was hard-earned, and she exhausted all her efforts to have the couple invest their thoughts on her.
She wiped the tears of the General’s wife, and this "thoughtfulness" made General Hu Lie feel even more tender-hearted.
"Hui’er, you’ve truly suffered, but your father has already found out, that this Princely Heir’s biological father is King Yan. Although he is now adopted by the Prince Jin Mansion, he is the only son there."
"The son of two royal families, marrying as the legitimate Heir’s wife, surely you won’t be wronged or mistreated!"
"Father, Hui’er has thought it through, you all need not worry. For Lanqiang, for Father, for our family, I’m willing to marry whoever. Moreover, the Princely Heir is so good, this is my fortune as well."
Such words made the General’s wife feel truly pained. Although the Princely Heir’s status is noble, they knew that the Princely Heir was unwilling to marry their daughter.
He even caused a scene in the Prince Mansion due to refusing this marriage.
But marriage, under the command of parents and arrangement of matchmakers, couldn’t be against his will. Thus, the old couple worried that their hard-found daughter might suffer once married.
Ruan Jiao knew this was her rare chance to seize destiny, and since the Princely Heir didn’t like her or want to marry her, she employed a small scheme to make him have to marry her.
That day, after a lake outing, she added something into the tea. The Princely Heir, after drinking it in one gulp, felt flustered and hot, and they remained long inside the boat.
Ruan Jiao also secretly had the servants dismiss others, until the Princely Heir couldn’t control the agitation within him and saw the beautiful Ruan Jiao drawing near with a bewitching scent.
"Princely Heir, are you alright? Is there any discomfort?" The Princely Heir, unguarded, had his will corroded by the potent drug, making everything uncontrollable.
Especially upon hearing Ruan Jiao’s gentle voice, which felt like countless ants crawling at his heart’s surface.
Numb and itchy, making it unbearable!
He reached out, pulling Ruan Jiao into his embrace as she willingly fell into his arms, and his scorching lips followed, leaving nothing but charm in the room.
Under the drug’s influence, he couldn’t even discern if Ruan Jiao was a virgin.
Of course, she had prepared in advance, with a pack of chicken blood timely staining the bedding.
Late at night, the Princely Heir’s personal maid, fearing for their safety, arrived at the boat with the mansion guards.
Upon entering, the leading guard, inadvertently breaking the amorous scene, rushed out blushing, and soon, the affair spread within the Prince Mansion.
The matter of cooked rice, once the Princely Heir awakened in her arms, left no room for resistance.
Resisting would disgrace Lanqiang Country, not only bringing him infamy, but also making it tough for the Prince Mansion to explain.
The next day, the auspicious wedding date was set.
Meanwhile, in Xingjia State City, after two days of inquiry and searching, Ruan Mian still couldn’t find any trace of Xie Huai’an.
Instead, she learned more about Nabuhui and the Princely Heir.
She didn’t know how Ruan Jiao infiltrated Lanqiang and replaced others to become the General’s daughter, reaching the status of Heir’s wife today.
One can only say, she indeed had some skills.
However, to smoothly ascend, she needed to have her consent!
Otherwise, with her temperament, if gaining power, she might wreak revenge on her whole family.
Lisi specially came to the inn to find her that day.
"Miss Ruan, Nabuhui has set a wedding date, in ten days. These days I fear I cannot leave the mansion, as I have to prepare for the wedding. I specially came today to inform you."
"And to let you know, those orchards are doing well now. Last time you had a lady send me a message, I followed your method for planting. When the harvest comes, I will surely send you some fruit first for a taste!"
Ruan Mian smiled faintly, taking the opportunity to ask a question.
"That sounds great. But I have a question, Nabuhui was recognized as the daughter by General Hu Lie, do you know how the General confirmed she was his daughter?"
"Didn’t you notice the red, peach blossom-shaped birthmark on Nabuhui’s neck that day? In addition, it is said there’s a noticeable red mole on her head."
"At that time, many women came to acknowledge kinship, but the General’s wife could clearly discern that those birthmarks were not her daughter’s, until she saw the marks on Nabuhui, and recognized her daughter at a glance."
"So according to you, many women came to acknowledge kinship before? Do you know where these women are now?"
Lisi shook her head, simply saying: "I don’t know about these, but upon failing to acknowledge, they must have returned to their own homes."
Ruan Mian pondered for a while, conserving her words, inviting Lisi to the eatery next door for a breakfast.
The meat buns and dumpling soup there were excellent, and Lisi loved it. While she wolfed down her food, the conversation from the table next door, rife with gossip, reached their ears.
