Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 1116 - 113_1

Chapter 1116: Chapter 113_1

The next day, the news that Shangguan Wanru and Shangguan Ruixi had a big fight the previous night and that he had subsequently locked her up in the dungeon reached the ears of the Princess Consort of Prince An!

Not only did the Princess Consort know, but many servants also heard about it. Fortunately, aside from a few close maids who heard clearly what they were arguing about, the others did not understand the subject of their quarrel.

Upon learning that Shangguan Wanru had been locked in the dungeon by Shangguan Ruixi, the Princess Consort could not help shedding tears in front of father and son: "Poor Wanru, she has suffered so much in Nangong Country, but only to return and face imprisonment. Why is her life so bitter!"

"That’s enough, stop crying. She’s being accused of treason. A life in prison is better than being beheaded! We’re doing this for her own good!" If Shangguan Wanru were not his daughter, she would have been a headless ghost outside the Meridian Gate by now!

Keeping her in the dungeon, spending her life in darkness, at least she won’t lose her life. Once the war between the two countries is over, she will have the chance to see daylight again!

But if she is allowed to continue on her mistaken path, she may bring disaster to the entire Wang Mansion and Minze Country.

Although Prince An is heartbroken, for her benefit, for the sake of the entire mansion, and for the well-being of the entire Imperial Court, he had no choice but to do so!

"You father and son, didn’t Wanru clearly tell you that she did not leak the information! Why don’t you believe her!"

"Would I accuse her without solid evidence? Mother Queen, how can we explain to the Emperor, to the countless soldiers and generals on the battlefield who shed blood and lost their lives, if we don’t lock her up? Now she only has two options - either to be imprisoned for life or to be beheaded! If you want her to die, I can release her right away! Do you want me to release her now and hand her over to the Imperial Clan Court? Or do you want to shelter a traitor and have the entire Wang Mansion buried with her? Mother Queen, you tell me, whatever you say, I’ll do it! I will follow your instructions in all things!" Shangguan Ruixi, irritated by Shangguan Wanru and now facing his mother’s consistent weeping, lost his patience.

Upon hearing these words, the Princess Consort wept loudly and then fell silent.

How did things come to this point!

Shangguan Ruixi left with these words, returning to his own courtyard, feeling utterly frustrated!

Seeing Shangguan Ruixi walking in with an angry face, Du Yijin couldn’t help but worry: "Is this matter really related to Wanru? Could there be some misunderstanding? There’s no need for her to do this! Nangong Country already has nothing to do with her."

"Unless she’s lost her mind, I can’t understand why she would do this!" Shangguan Ruixi’s anger faded somewhat seeing Du Yijin and their son in her arms.

"Do you suppose it could be because the Crown Prince of Nangong Country is not actually dead?"

"I don’t think so." Shangguan Ruixi answered with some uncertainty.

"I think if the Crown Prince of Nangong Country was dead, and Zhuan’er as well, Wanru would never do this. Wanru, as a princess of Minze country, why would she give something so important to them, who have no relation to her! There’s no way you’re right about her having lost her mind!" Du Yijin explained.

"You’re right!" After hearing these words, Shangguan Ruixi finally understood the confusion in his heart!

He quickly stood up and walked out, Shangguan Xuanyi must have known something, so the first one he suspected was Shangguan Wanru!

"Where are you going?" Du Yijin quickly asked as she saw Shangguan Ruixi heading out.

"To Prince Rui’s Mansion!"

...

Yesterday was too crazy, Xiao’er didn’t wake up until almost lunchtime.

She had no idea when Shangguan Xuanyi left.

The children weren’t in the room either, they must have been taken out to be looked after by Yang Liu and the others.

Xiao’er took the opportunity to enter her space and take a bath. After the fatigue on her body disappeared, she exited the space and walked out of the room.

Yang Mei, who was in the outer room, saw Xiao’er wake up and said, "The Princess Consort is awake. Are you hungry? I’ll prepare a meal."

"I’m fine. When did the Prince leave?" She had already eaten in her space.

"The Prince left early in the morning. He said that you were too tired and told us not to wake you up." Yang Mei blinked as she said this, her tone somewhat teasing.

Xiao’er’s face immediately flushed red, but she didn’t let her off the hook: "It seems it’s time for you to get married too. When you’re tired, I won’t be waking you up either."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei hurriedly surrendered: "Princess Consort, I was wrong, please spare me!"

Only then did Xiao’er say nothing more and started eating lunch by the table.

After lunch, Xiao’er didn’t have anything to do in the afternoon, so she took the children back to the room, closed the door, and entered her space.

In her space, she handed the children over to Bai Tian and the others to play with and put them to sleep. Then she harvested the medicinal herbs in the field, processed them into wound healing medicine in the processing plant, and replanted the empty land with mosquito repellent spices. After that, she started making clothes for the children.

What if Nangong Country cut off the supply of mosquito repellent spices, did they really think that without their spices, the people of Minze Country wouldn’t be able to survive this summer?

Xiao’er spent the entire afternoon in her space, harvesting pile after pile of spices.

Only when Shangguan Xuanyi returned did she exit her space.

"When did you wake up today?" Shangguan Xuanyi walked in cheerfully, changed his outer clothes, and pulled an energetic Xiao’er into his arms to ask.

"You’ve got some nerve asking!" Upon hearing this, Xiao’er lightly pounded his chest in anger and responded indignantly.

"What’s wrong? Who upset you?" Seeing that she had the energy to hit him, it seemed that the girl had recovered her strength in her space. He planned to continue tonight. Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her slightly pursed lips, smiling happily.

"Stop pretending to be innocent after benefiting from all this. If it hadn’t been for you last night, would I be upset?"

"How did I upset the Princess Consort last night? Was it like this, or like this?" Shangguan Xuanyi securely held Xiao’er in his arms and gently bit her earlobe, intentionally asking this question by her ear.

He knew that Xiao’er was quite sensitive in this area, he just wanted to tease her - she was just too adorable like this.

But Xiao’er, after giving birth, had become more plump and soft than before, which was unimaginable. Thinking of last night’s experience, Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t help but become restless again. This girl was simply irresistible! He’d planned to wait until tonight, but found that he couldn’t restrain himself.

Xiao’er legs turned weak from his tease, and she leaned on him for support. But remembering the consequences from last night, Xiao’er pushed him away: "No, I’m too tired."

"I’ll try to restrain myself, not so many times, okay?" A man who has been celibate for a year can’t afford to wait anymore. Last night’s indulgences didn’t count, however possible, he needs to get both the principal and interest back!

Xiao’er’s force couldn’t compare to his, Shangguan Xuanyi held her waist with one hand, restrained the back of her head with the other, and pressed his cool and soft lips against hers.
