The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

In Madam Wen’s view, Wen Zishan shouldn’t have come to this banquet, because it has no meaning at all, it would only invite gossip and be self-destructive.

No matter how luxuriously she dresses, she is merely a concubine, and even Prince Zhou is just a prince, not the Crown Prince. How noble can they truly be?

Now, have you heard it? Those mocking words, aren’t they insinuating against Wen Zishan? Although that marriage affair wasn’t made public back then, which of these aristocratic madams isn’t a shrewd person?

Actually, Madam Wen didn’t really want to come either, but because Madam Wen’s mother-in-law offended Song Ci earlier, she had to attend to appease the Song Family. Otherwise, her husband’s position might be in jeopardy.

Prime Minister Song is a person who bears grudges, certainly not as gentle and harmless as he appears. The mess that the old lady made, no matter how unwilling, she has to clean it up behind her.

Having listened to her mother’s words, Wen Zishan lowered her head somewhat humiliatedly, pressed her lips together, then raised her head again, lifting her chin.

She could not lower her head, or she would be looked down upon even more.

Seeing this, Madam Wen felt more disappointed; this child truly is in deadlock.

Fine, let her personally experience what is meant by a slap in the face of reality. Only through pain will she understand the path she must tread in the future.

Either hide and burst out of encirclement or admit defeat and live a humble life.

The sun was setting, and as dusk approached, the noise in the Prime Minister’s Mansion became more and more vibrant until the crackling of firecrackers sounded.

The bride is about to enter the door.

The madams and young wives who enjoyed the excitement went to the ceremonial hall, preparing to watch the new couple’s wedding ceremony.

Wen Zishan was also squeezed in amongst the crowd, surrounded by red, with the joyful parents seated in the high hall, faces full of joy, and everyone around was also smiling broadly.

A pair of newlyweds came slowly on the red carpet. She looked over, her body slightly swaying.

The red, that bright red, pierced her eyes.

The bride wearing a red veil, donned a gold-thread-embroidered red wedding robe, resplendent and majestic, red like a fiery sun.

When crossing the threshold, she clearly saw the groom gently support the bride, his lips moving, obviously reminding her to mind the threshold.

The bride covered with a red veil couldn’t show her face, but the groom was visible in detail, and what is vigor, perhaps this is it during the wedding night.

Although not yet ranking on the imperial exam list, this man is already a scholar, still young, standing tall with a pine-like posture, a smile on his face, truly a gentleman gentle as jade, handsome and talented.

The surrounding discussions reached her ears, such as a perfect match, a fine son and a fine wife.

Under the hosting of the Ritual Officer, they worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped the parents, exchanged vows as husband and wife, and were sent into the bridal chamber.

These are things she never experienced. When she entered the Prince Mansion, although it was lively, she was just directly carried into the new house through a side door, there was no wedding ceremony to speak of.

No wedding ceremony, no grand red wedding attire, nor endless praises and blessings in the ears.

None of it at all.

Wen Zishan’s eyes suddenly felt a bit painful and blurred; if one asks what is self-humiliation, this is it.

She quietly retreated from the crowd, stood outside in the courtyard, let out a long sigh, and requested a maid to take her to change clothes, away from this lively scene.

At this moment, she was escaping.

The only one who noticed her daughter’s departure was Madam Wen, her eyes also wet at this time, she sniffed her nose, only hoping in her heart that the child could awaken to reality.

If she could awaken, there would still be opportunities for struggle in the future, if not, she would just be her husband’s discarded piece.
