Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Fortunately, the two hugged each other for a while. Because Nudahai had official business to attend to, he asked someone to send Xinyue back first. The two reluctantly parted.

Xinyue suddenly felt that the mature and steady Nu Dahai gave her more sense of security. She gradually began to look forward to a happy life for the two of them, without considering how the innocent Yan Ji would cope with it.

Zhang Zhaogui saw the whole process from a hidden place and felt sick.

In fact, the combination of old man and young wife was not uncommon in feudal society, and there were even cases of 18-year-old bride and 80-year-old groom.

But it is rare to find someone like Xinyue who comes from a prominent family and has a noble status but indulges in depravity. The key is that Xinyue enjoys herself.

This is difficult to comment on.

But these are not the reasons why Nu Dahai let Yan Ji down.

Zhang Zhaogui has been paying attention to Yan Ji over the years. Seeing that she has found a good man, he is happy for her even if it is not him who makes her happy.

But now everything has turned into bubbles. I wonder if the crying girl back then is also crying secretly.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhaogui's heart ached.

In this case, it would be better to destroy Nu Dahai. At least giving the young lady a complete body is worse than complete betrayal.

The evil thought flashed through Zhang Zhaogui's mind, but he quickly dispelled it.

He can't act on his own.

At the same time, Yan Ji, who took a shortcut and returned to the mansion first, had no idea about the infatuated couple at the door.

Her thoughts were now completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of Zhang Zhaogui.

Dust-covered memories slowly emerge.

Yan Ji was the eldest daughter in the family and received a good education since childhood, while Zhang Zhaogui was born in a poor family and worked in the Yilgen Mansion.

The story of people from two different worlds began because Yan Ji accidentally helped Zhang Zhaogui.

As a Han Chinese, Zhang Zhaogui had a lot of strength but was often bullied. Yan Ji happened to meet another farmhand who was lazy, so she stood up for Zhang Zhaogui.

That was the first time in Zhang Zhaogui's life that he felt fairness, and the beautiful and generous Yan Ji also entered his heart.

Zhang Zhaogui, who knew the gap between them well, did not have any wishful thinking and just wanted to watch Yan Ji from afar.

The stupid Zhang Zhaogui's disguise was not very clever and he was soon discovered by Yan Ji.

She didn't feel offended, she just thought Zhang Zhaogui was cute and silly.

After a few interactions, the two had several brief encounters.

The young boys and girls who are just beginning to fall in love gradually show the buds of love, but it is a pity that this ignorance is strangled in the cradle at the very beginning.

Yan Ji's father was prejudiced against the Han people, so they were almost sentenced to death.

At that time, Yan Ji was unaware of her feelings for Zhang Zhaogui, and she came into contact with him, Lanudahai, under the arrangement of her father.

Just like that, that naive heartbeat completely lost the fertile soil for growth and was buried in that cold winter.

The Menglanyu Festival that year was the last time Yan Ji saw Zhang Zhaogui.

The two looked at each other across the river, as if there was a gap between them. After that day, Zhang Zhaogui resolutely joined the army, and Yan Ji followed her father's arrangement and married Nu Dahai.

More than twenty years have passed in a flash.

Yan Ji looked out the window with a bitter smile. Really, isn't the current situation worrying her enough? How can she still think about the past?

Nu Dahai returned to the study. He was scolded by Qianlong again today and was very upset. He suppressed his anger because of Xinyue's presence.

Recently, Nu Dahai has been successful in love but unsuccessful in his career. He is often criticized by others, which makes Nu Dahai very depressed.

Therefore, apart from being with Xinyue every day, he would start drinking after finishing his work at home.

In the past, when Nu Dahai started drinking to drown his sorrows, Yan Ji would always hand him a bowl of hangover soup and try to comfort him.

Now Yan Ji completely ignored Nu Dahai.

She had made a fuss and quarreled before, and after being severely humiliated by Nu Dahai for being "jealous", she stopped fighting.

Without Yan Ji, everything went wrong for Nu Dahai.

"Well, someone come here!" Nu Dahai called the servant drunkenly.

"Go, call Fu Jin over to me."

"Yes."

The servants went out after receiving the order, leaving only Nu Dahai still drinking glass after glass.

After hearing the servant's words, Yan Ji did not intend to go and continued to do her own thing.

Drink if you want! It would be best if you drink yourself to death.

Nu Dahai waited in the study for a long time before he realized that Yan Ji would not come.

A surge of anger rushed into my heart.

Bully him! Everyone bullies him! Even Yan Ji!

So, Nu Dahai staggered into Yan Ji's courtyard to demand an explanation.

"Yan Ji! I asked you to go, why didn't you go? Do you look down on me too?"

Before anyone was seen, Nu Dahai's questioning came first.

Yan Ji paused, with a mocking smile on her lips.

"Tell me! Have you never looked down on me?" Nu Dahai vented his dissatisfaction and malice wantonly, glaring with red eyes at the person beside him who had been with him for twenty years.

It was as if they were not husband and wife, but enemies.

Yan Ji carefully put down what she was holding and stood up.

"What? You can't bear to vent your dissatisfaction on your Yueya, so you take it out on me, your wife who has shared your hardships with you?" Yan Ji looked at the incompetent and cowardly man with sarcasm.

Nu Dahai didn't dare to look directly into Yan Ji's eyes.

What he was most proud of was marrying the beautiful and talented Yan Ji, but he always had a knot in his heart.

Back then, Yan Ji was considered to have married down, and Nu Dahai was proud but also felt inferior, especially in recent years as he became increasingly frustrated.

Yan Ji never looked at him with admiration, she would only calmly analyze his shortcomings. Although he had to admit that what she said was right, Nu Dahai still felt uncomfortable.

Xinyue is different. She is young and always looks at him with admiration, which makes him feel very accomplished.

He just made the mistake that every man would make. In fact, he had no intention of divorcing Yan Ji.

But Yan Ji's reaction made him quite angry, as if he was a treacherous villain.

Now, because of Xinyue's incident, Nu Dahai has been plagued by controversy. Those of the same kind have been making fun of him and their words to Xinyue are always derogatory, which makes him very angry.

Those who don't like his behavior sneer at him.

How could his Yueyaer suffer such an injustice? After thinking about it, he felt that the problem was with Yan Ji.

There are many men who take concubines, so why should he endure all this?

The bottom line is that Yan Ji has a very good reputation, and those ladies and wives who have a good relationship with her are very sympathetic to Yan Ji's situation, while Xinyue and Nu Dahai are very incompatible.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like Nu Dahai abandoned his wife and children, and Xinyue intervened.

"Yan Ji, I have treated you well, why do you want to hurt me?"

"Harm you? Nu Dahai, when did I harm you?"

"Aren't you and your Crescent Moon living together? You take your anger out on me when things don't go your way! Coward!"

Yan Ji refused to give in at all. She had endured too much, which allowed some people to take advantage of her.

Anyway, she had already made up her mind to divorce, so there was no need to consider Nu Dahai's fragile heart.
