After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Novel - Chapter 462
462 Still active
After she returned to the capital, she used Prince Jin’s influence to support her mother, the matriarch, at home.
Her father was forced to sell off his favorite concubine, who had suggested bringing her and her mother to that courtyard.
His father’s attitude towards her and her mother had also changed.
She also knew that this was for the sake of Prince Jin.
!!
Then Prince Yi suddenly fell ill.
There was news in the palace that the empress wanted a daughter-in-law to take care of Prince Jin.
At that time, she was moved.
Her father was a fourth-rank official.
Although he was not considered much in the capital, she was still a young lady from an official’s family.
If she proposed to marry Prince Yi and take care of him, the empress might agree.
In particular, at that time, the imperial consort crowned the harem and the empress was suppressed.
The imperial consort was certainly not willing to let Prince Yi marry a woman from a good family to help the emperor who was still the crown prince at that time.
His father was a fourth-rank official with no real power, so the imperial consort would definitely agree for her and Prince Yi to be together.
While she was still struggling with her thoughts, Prince Jin, Liang Yujun, suddenly proposed to marry her.
At that time, her father was overjoyed and her mother was also very happy. Her mother felt that it was a blessing that she had accumulated over several lifetimes to be able to marry the emperor’s most beloved son and become the primary consort.
Moreover, everyone thought that since the emperor doted on the imperial consort and Prince Jin so much, and Prince Jin had great power in the imperial court, the throne would definitely be Prince Jin’s.
She had told her mother about Prince Yi’s situation, but her mother persuaded her otherwise.
Prince Yi was sick, and no one knew how long he would live.
The key was that the empress, the crown prince, and Prince Yi were not favored, and she would not have a good life if she married Prince Yi.
Then, she saw her father lowering his voice in front of her.
He was once insufferably arrogant and often punished her mother’s grandmother. He also flattered her.
Also, her step-sister and step-brother, the illegitimate children, who had once bullied her, were all like dogs, flattering her in all kinds of ways.
They were no longer as arrogant and domineering as they used to be.
And this was all because Prince Jin wanted to marry her as his primary consort.
In the end, she agreed to marry Prince Jin so that her mother would not be bullied in the residence and her father and the others would be like dogs that she could throw a bone and they would wag their tails to beg for pity.
As expected, after she married Liang Yujun, not only did her family wag their tails at her like dogs, even the women of noble families who had once looked down on her and were of higher status than her had to flatter her.
This made her keep telling herself that she had made the right choice.
From then on, Prince Yi also stayed in her heart.
Then he heard that Prince Yi had declined the empress’s offer for a marriage and went to the royal temple to worship Buddha.
She was secretly happy, thinking that he must have also fallen for her, so after she married Liang Yujun, he refused to get a wife and wanted to pay his respects to Buddha.
Two years after she married Liang Yujun, she finally saw Prince Yi again.
That was at the royal family’s banquet.
He was still so elegant and handsome, especially with an ethereal temperament, which made many women from aristocratic families want to marry him.
She had thought that she had forgotten about him, but when she saw him in person, she realized that he had always been in her heart.
Then, she found an excuse and ran into him in the garden.
Who knew that he actually didn’t recognize her? He was cold and distant to her, which she couldn’t accept.
She wanted to get closer, but he quickly left.
After that, she went to the Royal Monastery, but she never found a chance to see him.
She felt even more indignant in her heart.
He actually couldn’t recognize her, and she even thought that he didn’t want to marry because he liked her.
Therefore, she was even more unwilling and ordered people to pay attention to his every move and then report back.
She had maintained this habit for more than ten years.
She had always thought that she had done it very discreetly, but Liang Yujun had actually found out.
But even if he knew, it was nothing.
After all, when she had married him, she had known that Liang Yulin was her sweetheart.
All these years, Liang Yujun had doted on her very much, and would not object to almost any of her requests.
Moreover, the colder she was to him and the more her heart was filled with someone else, he still pampered and loved her so much.
If she didn’t want to see him, she could.
He would never punish her.
It was the same towards her maternal family.
She hoped that her family could come to Northern City to take up important positions.
Although her father and elder brothers were not very capable, he satisfied her wishes.
As a result, her family now had to rely on her and act according to her mood.
So even when Liang Yujun asked her this question, she still felt like she was right.
She had indeed received news that Liang Yulin was coming to the northern border to build a canned food workshop for the imperial court.
She had not seen him for so many years, and she especially wanted to see him.
He had always been single, and she always felt that he was doing this for her.
He must have pretended not to know her in the palace because of her identity as Prince Jin’s princess consort.
He deliberately kept a distance from her for fear of affecting her.
The more she thought about it over the years, the more she felt that it was the truth.
Thus, Liang Yujun had indeed pointed out her thoughts.
Other than wanting to support her daughter, she also wanted to see her first blush of love again.
Liang Yujun looked at her self-righteous appearance and only found it laughable.
“I didn’t force you when I asked to marry you.
“When I brought it up, your parents agreed immediately. I didn’t see any objection from you. Why are you acting like I’m forcing you now?”
He sneered, “If not because of me, would you have been so unyielding in your maternal family and make those aristocratic women who looked down on you in the past be so respectful to you? Can you do whatever you want in the prince’s residence?”
He wasn’t an idiot like the third prince, who would really be led by the nose by a woman and not investigate anything.
He knew Ruan Songling’s every move like the back of his hand.
He had tolerated her for so many years, but this woman was still so active.
Ruan Songling’s expression changed again. “You actually said that about me.”
Prince Jin raised his eyebrows. “It’s the truth. Why can’t I say it?
“I’m sorry that you marry me.
“If you want to see Liang Yulin, then go.
“But he will be here in ten days to half a month, so I will personally send someone to escort you to Heyang County a few days later.
He took a look at Liang Yulin’s soulless body.
When Ruan Songling heard what he said, she didn’t know why but she felt a little nervous.
However, she had developed a strong personality over the years. “Alright, then you can send me there. If you don’t, you’re a bastard.”
Prince Jin was so angry that he laughed again. “Sure, I’ll definitely send you there.”
After he finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and left.
This was the first time Prince Jin had treated Ruan Songling like this. She was so angry that she smashed everything in the house.
Liang Yujun walked out of the courtyard with a darkened face. Following that, a nanny walked over and bowed, “Your Highness, my madam wants you to go over.”
Liang Yujun nodded. “Alright, I’ll go meet my mother now.”
He quickly walked towards another courtyard.
Walking into the hall, he saw a red-robed woman resting with her eyes closed.
She was already close to 50 years old, but she looked like a young lady in her 20s. Time had not left many traces on her face.
Two good-looking young men, one was massaging her legs and the other was massaging her shoulders.
He looked at the two of them with disgust and waved his hand, coldly ordering, “You guys can leave.”
