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

Tao Ran answered without hesitation: "Of course Shulan is more important. Shulan is safe. There is no need to push away the wine that has been delivered to her door."

Tao Zheng stopped talking. Although he was not a drunkard, he also liked to drink and could not resist the Nv'erhong. Seeing that the prince accompanied Shulan to the mansion, he proved that Shulan had not been wronged in the prince's mansion: "Shulan has not been taught by her mother since she was a child. If he does anything wrong in the future, you can tell me and I will teach him well. Don't let her be wronged."

Seeing how nervous the family was about He Shulan, the prince did not dare to let He Shulan suffer any grievances: "No, although the princess has been without a mother since she was a child, she grew up very well. She is very good in both her conduct and her personality."

Tao Ran and Tao Zheng were very happy to hear the praise from the prince, and their attitude towards the prince became even friendlier.

The people in the Tao family would only take a concubine when their wife was infertile in order to continue the family line. When they heard that He Shulan was going to marry the prince, they were extremely unwilling.

But the marriage was arranged by He Shulan's deceased mother, and He Shulan was willing to marry into the Prince's Mansion, so they did not stop her. They always hoped that He Shulan could marry a man who would be loyal to her.

But there are very few men like this in the capital. The prince is considered good among the noblemen. At least he has only one concubine in his mansion. But this also gives them a headache because the prince dotes on his concubine too much.

Now that they see that the Prince and He Shulan are on good terms, they feel relieved.

"The food is ready in the kitchen, please come to the living room and eat." Bai Fei stood at the door of the living room and said loudly to the three people sitting in the garden.

The three of them stopped chatting and went to the living room with the red wine on the table. The table was filled with delicious dishes, most of which were He Shulan's favorite dishes.

There was laughter and laughter at the dinner table.

……

Xing'er came out of the kitchen carrying food and heard the servants' discussion.

"I heard that the prince accompanied the princess to her grandfather's house. Is it true?"

"Of course it's true. I saw with my own eyes that the prince got into the princess' carriage."

"Oh my, Aunt Li is really going to fall out of favor now."

The conversation between the few people made Xing'er very angry. She stormed back to Aunt Li's yard and put the food in her hand on the table.

Li Wanrong picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating. The meals prepared in the kitchen today were all her favorites. She ate much faster and finished all the food in the bowl.

Seeing that Li Wanrong was living a peaceful life, Xing'er could not help but speak up and told Li Wanrong about the prince accompanying the princess to her maternal grandparents' home.

Li Wanrong didn't care at all. She had thought a lot during this period and felt that she and the prince were not suitable for each other. When they first got together, they were truly in love and they were in love for a long time.

After a long time, she also discovered the problems between them. No matter how much the prince liked her, his inherent belief in male superiority over women could not be changed, and she became more and more narrow-minded.

She just wanted to be alone for the rest of her life. The prince was born in an ordinary family, so perhaps this wish could come true. However, he was not an ordinary man and was deeply bound by rules.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do. Should she leave and live the life she wanted, or stay and live in a daze every day? "This is what a prince should do."

Xing'er looked at Li Wanrong in disbelief. In the past, Li Wanrong watched the prince very closely. The prince had to report to her where he went and when he came back. He couldn't have a member of the opposite sex around him. How could Li Wanrong become so indifferent now? Did she not like the prince anymore? "Auntie, if you continue like this, you will really fall out of favor. An aunt in the mansion who loses favor will be even lower in status than a servant."

It was useless for Li Wanrong to care about this now. The prince's heart was not with her at all, and he would only blame her for being hypocritical. She felt the strange looks from the other maids in the courtyard, and she was a little breathless: "My mind is in a mess now, and there are some things I haven't thought through clearly. Can you accompany me for a walk?"

"It's not that I don't want to go out with you, Auntie, you've been going out too much lately. If you keep going outside, you'll cause gossip from others."

For some reason, Li Wanrong just didn't want to stay in the mansion. She couldn't help wanting to run out every day: "Just say it, it's been a day or two since you've been gossiping about me. I'm not afraid of itching when I have too many lice. Now I can live my life however I want."

Xing Er stared at Li Wanrong closely and said, "Auntie, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

"You are my personal maid. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I won't be angry."

Xing Er hesitated for a long time and said what was in her heart: "Aunt, you go out every day. Are you in love with Huo Jian, whom you met at the last Lantern Festival?"

"I can't say I like her, but I have a good impression of her."

Hearing Li Wanrong's words, Xing'er turned pale with fear. She stepped forward and covered Li Wanrong's mouth: "Auntie, how can you say such lewd words in public?"

"There are only two of us in the pavilion, you don't need to be so nervous, and..." At this point, Li Wanrong swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She and the prince were not married, and if she met a man she liked, she could leave at any time. Even if they were married, they could still get divorced. After all, her relationship with the prince had broken down.

She did have different feelings towards Huo Jian, but she hadn't yet reached the point of liking him: "Don't think too much. You can stand staying in this square courtyard every day, but I can't."

The master and servant left the Prince's Mansion under the watchful eyes of the servants.

The busy street was bustling with people. The roadside stalls were filled with not only all kinds of food, but also small toys that Li Wanrong had never seen before. The colorful windmills on the stalls attracted her attention.

She took out her purse from her chest, handed a few copper coins to the stall owner, and bought a windmill. The white silver in her pocket was seen by a thief standing by.

The thief followed the two people and took advantage of the fact that there were few people around to run to Li Wanrong as fast as he could and snatch the purse from her hand.

The sudden situation frightened Xing'er and Li Wanrong greatly.

It took Li Wanrong a long time to react. She thought about the fact that she only had 500 taels of silver left from her own pocket. At this time, the thief actually dared to rob her money.

She ran after the thief, shouting, "Catch the thief! Someone stole my money."

But no one on the street dared to intervene. They just stood aside and watched the two people chasing each other.

Seeing the thief running farther and farther away, Li Wanrong sped up, looking aggressive, determined to catch the thief.

The thief was so scared that he almost fell down. He had been a thief for so long, but he had never seen anyone as persistent as Li Wanrong. Most people would stop chasing after their purse was stolen for a while, but she kept chasing.
