Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

These wives of officials finally got the chance, how could they let He Shulan go so easily? Even Chen Lerong joined in: "The prince favors the concubine in the mansion, and everyone in the capital knows it. Don't hide it in front of us."

Faced with everyone's ridicule, He Shulan didn't know how to refute. The prince was not there, and coupled with the rumors in the capital, no matter how she explained, it was useless.

Aunt Bai Fei pulled He Shulan away, eyes full of heartache: "I asked you to cancel this marriage, but you just wouldn't listen."

"My late mother arranged this marriage for me, how can I cancel it? Even if I don't marry the prince, I will marry someone else." He Shulan also thought about this matter. After thinking it over, she still felt that marrying the prince was the most cost-effective.

Bai Fei said nothing more: "Don't pay attention to Chen Lerong, she is not your biological mother, there is no need to get too close to her."

"I understand. It's father's birthday, why are you here?" Since the death of his mother, the relationship between the He family and his aunt has become increasingly worse. His aunt rarely comes to the He family, except for the time when He Shulan came on her wedding day. No one knows why they came to the He family to celebrate their father's birthday this time.

When talking about this, Bai Fei was furious: "It was Chen Lerong who personally came to the mansion and handed us the invitation, asking us to attend your father's birthday party. We disagreed at first, but when I thought you would return to the He Mansion, I agreed to come."

"My uncle and grandfather didn't come." He Shulan looked around and didn't see the two of them among the people coming and going.

"Well, they said they would not come no matter what. Your grandfather has not seen you for a long time since you got married. You can go back and see him when you have time."

He Shulan responded, she also missed her grandfather.

At this time, there was a discussion among the crowd: "I didn't expect the prince to come."

"Yes! It seems that the rumors are not necessarily true. Although the prince favors his concubine, he does not ignore the princess either."

Bai Fei and He Shulan stopped chatting, looked up, and saw the prince walking through the crowd.

"He still has some conscience and didn't abandon you in public," Bai Fei said in a low voice.

He Shulan did not answer. It was not important to her whether the prince came or not, because she could face everything alone: ​​"I am done with the affairs of the court."

"Well! It's not a very important matter, I'll let someone else handle it." The prince noticed the gazes of the people around him and asked in confusion: "Why are these people looking at me?"

Bai Fei laughed out loud. These people wanted to see He Shulan make fun of them, but the prince arrived at He's house before the banquet started, so these people had no fun to see. "Don't pay attention to them. Let's go sit in the lobby."

After all the guests arrived, the banquet began. Although it was He's father's birthday, some of the guests were of noble status, so He's father gave up the seat in the middle.

The prince was the most honorable among the guests, so everyone gave the main seat to him. The prince did not like being flattered, and he came to the He Mansion for He Shulan. He found an excuse and said casually, "There are still things waiting for me to deal with in the court. I will leave after dinner. I will not take the birthday boy's seat today." He gave up the main seat.

In front of so many people, He's father did not refuse. He sat in the main seat and raised his glass: "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I toast you with this glass of wine."

Everyone picked up the wine glasses on the table and drank them all.

He's father went on to say, "I think everyone has seen that my son-in-law is not here because he is taking an exam. I hope he can pass. I have two daughters but no sons. In the future, my son-in-law and daughter will be able to inherit the He Mansion."

He Shulan listened to his father's words expressionlessly and fell into deep thought. After Chen Lerong gave birth to He Shuzhen, she had not been pregnant again. There was no male heir in the He family. A hundred years later, not only would this mansion be taken back by the court, but the He family would also be extinct.

It was obvious that He's father, who was over fifty years old, was beginning to get anxious. Chen Lerong, who could not give birth to a son, wanted Liu Chen to inherit the He family. Her eyes moved slightly.

My deceased mother married my father when he was still a scholar. She put a lot of effort into the He Mansion, and she couldn't let Chen Lerong take over the He Mansion for herself. Chen Lerong couldn't give birth to a son, but other women could. When the time came, she would find a way to get my father to add a concubine.

He Shulan raised her head and looked at Chen Lerong and her daughter. She was very proud of herself, but her eyes were full of disdain. The more proud they were now, the more embarrassed they would be if Liu Chen finished the exams and didn't get into high school.

The prince didn't understand. He was just going to take an exam. What was there to brag about? He leaned back in his chair and asked He Shulan in a low voice, "Liu Chen is doing very well in school."

"Not good," He Shulan answered simply.

"Since their academic performance is not good and they don't know if they can pass the exam, why are they still showing off here?"

He Shulan glanced at the prince calmly: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Anyway, they will be embarrassed, and it has nothing to do with me."

The prince did not respond, but secretly decided in his heart that he would not attend such banquets in the future if possible.

After He's father finished speaking, the servants brought the prepared dishes and placed them on the table.

At the dinner table, people kept toasting the prince. His face was red from drinking, but people still kept toasting him. He was overwhelmed, so he picked up the bowl, ate quickly, and passed some food to He Shulan from time to time.

He Shuzhen looked at this scene with jealousy. In her previous life, when she married into the Prince's Mansion, she had never eaten at the same table with the Prince, let alone had him pick food for her.

But the prince treated He Shulan differently. Not only did he accompany her back, he also took good care of her.

Since her rebirth, all the things have not gone according to the course of her previous life, which makes He Shuzhen very angry. She was originally waiting to see He Shulan make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect He Shulan to be in the limelight.

After lunch, the prince couldn't wait to take He Shulan away from the He Mansion.

He Shulan lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Bai Fei: "I will go to the mansion to see my grandfather and uncle in a few days. Tell them not to worry about me."

Bai Fei nodded and watched the carriage of the Prince's Mansion leave. Judging from how the two got along, the Prince seemed to treat He Shulan quite well, so they were completely relieved.

……

After the banquet, the lively He Mansion became deserted. The drunk He's father sat on a chair and said with lingering thoughts: "Shuzhen, as long as Liu Chen passes the exam this time, father will definitely find a way to help him build connections and let him enter the court. By that time, you can also walk out with your back straight."

He Shuzhen was waiting for these words, and said thank you excitedly: "Father, Liu Chen and I will definitely be filial to you in the future."

Hearing these words, He's father felt warm in his heart: "Father is counting on you to take care of him in his old age."
