Chapter 766: I Know that I’m in the Wrong, But I Won’t Change
Ning Shu was kept up all night by these worries and yanked out quite a lot of hair. She was still stuck on the question of what meaning was there in a woman’s life. They get married, give birth to children, and labored for the family, but these men didn’t even care about these things in the slightest.
After they encountered their true love, they would immediately forget all these years of mutual support.
What was so bad about just having a nice stable life? Why’d he insist on being ‘unable to restrain his emotions’ and causing so much chaos?
Wait, a nice stable life?
A streak of realization flashed through Ning Shu’s heart. That was right, Wei Lingxian hated Princess Mingzhu the most because Princess Mingzhu’s appearance caused everyone in the general’s residence to fall into mad hysteria. Love and hate went entirely out of control.
The father didn’t act like a father and the son didn’t act like a son. The father and son even fought over the same woman.
The entire general’s residence had been ruined because of this woman.
What Wei Lingxian wanted the most was to return to the days before Princess Mingzhu had come. Those ordinary, but stable days.
Although she had to work hard to support the general’s residence and had to worry about An You who was out on campaigns, during those days, Wei Lingxian’s heart was peaceful and calm.
All that women wished for was a family. A stable place to call home.
Those were the most beautiful days to Wei Lingxian.
Ning Shu gave a long exhale. Her heart finally settled down since she had figured out what to work towards.
“Why are you still awake?” An You’s voice came from next to her.
Ning Shu shifted towards the side a little. “General, this wife is worried about An Yu.”
“What’s there to worry about?” An You’s voice was hoarse due to sleepiness.
Ning Shu felt seriously speechless. “An Yu’s already seventeen. He’s almost reached the age of marriage and having children, but he still has no occupation nor any record of accomplishments. This wife recalls that you had already been to the battlefield by the age of seventeen.”
An You replied, “That’s indeed true.”
Ning Shu said, “That’s why this wife was thinking if it was possible to find An Yu something to do. He likes practicing martial arts, so this wife was thinking about having him join the army.”
“Join the army? You can bear to do that? Mother probably won’t agree,” said An You.
It’s not my kid, why wouldn’t I bear to do it?
Ning Shu was silent, so An Yu said that he would consider it.
The next day, during breakfast, An Yu talked to Old Madame about having An Yu join the army. The old madame didn’t agree. If he joined the army, she would barely be able to see him once every couple months. She’d miss her grandson too much.
Meanwhile, An Yu clearly hadn’t expected for his father to suddenly have him join the army.
An Yu looked towards the gentle Princess Mingzhu.
Princess Mingzhu had covered her mouth in shock. She said to An You, “It’s really dangerous to join the army. Why are you having An Yu join the army?”
Ning Shu smiled gracefully and said slowly in a dignified tone, “Men have a duty to guard the home and defend the country, as well as pursue their own great aspirations. Princess, why can’t An Yu join the army?”
Princess Mingzhu’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Ning Shu. “But An Yu is your son! How can you be this indifferent to whether he lives or dies?”
Princess Mingzhu’s brows were tightly furrowed and the exclamation ‘how can you be so coldblooded’ was written all over her face.
The old madame’s face filled with displeasure that was directed towards Ning Shu. The old madame had gotten old. She no longer had the decisiveness of youth. Back when she was young, hadn’t she also hardened her heart to force An You out onto the battlefield, which was how he became a first rank general?
Fudge, but the way Princess Mingzhu said things made it seem like she wanted An Yu to immediately go die. Ning Shu looked at Princess Mingzhu. Her casual actions and words were all capable of causing enormous disagreements and sharp opposition.
Was she truly innocent? Or was she actually purposefully manipulating people’s opinions to hurt others?
Ning Shu just wanted to have An Yu leave the general’s residence so that he wouldn’t end up fighting with his dad over a woman.
Ning Shu looked towards An Yu and asked, “An Yu, what do you think? Didn’t you want to become a heroic man like your father?”
An Yu looked towards Princess Mingzhu, but Princess Mingzhu was looking at An You.
Ning Shu was pretty dumbfounded to see An Yu like this. Princess Mingzhu had only arrived at the general’s residence yesterday, but An Yu had already become like this.
Princess Mingzhu’s charm was seriously nothing to sneer at. She looked gentle and fragile, which was the type that aroused men’s pity and cherishment the most.
An Yu said, “Allow this son to think about it.”
Ning Shu didn’t say anything else. She really didn’t want to deal with these two kids, especially when she recalled what happened during the original storyline. It was seriously stifling.
Every time one little thing happened to Princess Mingzhu, everyone would immediately criticize the original host.
Princess Mingzhu was always like, I know that I’m in the wrong, but I won’t change. What we have is true love, it’s not wrong. Then she’d try to use apologies to smooth out all the damage she inflicted.
In reality, just thinking about it was terrifying. You couldn’t avoid her because she would repeatedly come to confess and apologize to you. She’d voice her remorse again and again and innocently, relentlessly, cut your heart up.
During the entire breakfast, the old madame’s facial color wasn’t good. She made no attempts to conceal it and allowed her displeasure to show right on her face for Ning Shu to see.
The old madame unusually didn’t show such an attitude towards her daughter-in-law, so it was clear that she was extremely unhappy this time.
