About half an hour later, Ren Hao saw that the emperor's anger had almost subsided, so he explained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I married the princess of Minglan because I had no other choice."

Wen Yan was so angry that she laughed at this explanation.

"Tell me what it means to do this as a last resort."

"Is it that someone has put a knife to your neck and will chop you to death if you don't marry her? Or is it that if you don't marry her, she will commit suicide!!!" Wen Yan was furious again, secretly cursing Ren Hao in his heart for being vulgar and just wanting to take advantage of someone else's body.

Wen Yan put his hand on the imperial desk, but there was nothing left to throw on it.

"Your Majesty, I married the Princess of Minglan in order to consolidate the relationship between ancient Han and the countries in the Western Regions. As long as this relationship exists, it will be a great advantage in the future whether we interfere in the Western Regions or send troops from the Western Regions to attack ancient Wei." Ren Hao replied respectfully, not daring to tell the truth at all.

The truth is that he took possession of Princess Rouyue on impulse because of jealousy, and he didn't want to let that bastard Chi Na get the advantage.

"Pick up the letters and brushes for me." Wen Yan pointed to the letters and brushes scattered on the ground.

"Here."

Ren Hao hurriedly picked up the scattered letters and brushes and handed them over respectfully.

"What a great way to consolidate the relationship. Why didn't the king choose the general Xu Qing who had no family, but had to choose you?" Wen Yan asked while grabbing the letter and throwing it at Ren Hao.

"The envoy general has a special status. He is representing His Majesty in the Western Regions. If he marries Princess Rouyue, the nature of the matter will be very different. It is equivalent to marrying Princess Rouyue on behalf of His Majesty."

"If your majesty has a new concubine named Hu in the harem, I and General Wu will not have much objection. But what will those conservative officials and the people of the world think?" Ren Hao explained to the emperor, trying his best to smooth over the matter.

Wen Yan was silent for a moment before she spoke: "So, I have wronged you? You married the princess of Minglan not only to consolidate the relationship between Gu Han and the Western Regions, but also for me?"

"That's right, Your Majesty." Ren Hao nodded cautiously.

Humph.

"Then you really have a thoughtful heart. How do you think I should reward you?" Wen Yan grabbed the brush and threw it hard on Ren Hao's head.

"I have failed to live up to the Emperor's grace. Your Majesty not killing me is already the greatest reward you can give me." Ren Hao kowtowed.

But Wen Yan was still not satisfied and said, "I reward you to guard the gate outside the Linde Palace for a week. During this time, you have to carry this bundle of brambles on your back and let the ministers see your heroic style!!!"

"I am a humble servant, thank you for your grace." Ren Hao kowtowed quickly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go away, don't stay here and get in the way of my dragon eyes." Wen Yan shook his sleeves and stood up.

"You are my guilty subject. Get out of here right now." Ren Hao bowed and took his leave. He carried the whip on his back and went to Li Shiji's mansion first.

Although he had passed the emperor's test, he couldn't explain to Su Wan'er and Xu Yating when he returned why there was another wife.

Before he could think of an explanation, Ren Hao planned to take Princess Rouyue and hide in Li Shiji's mansion for a while. After all, he had been missing for so long, so it wouldn't matter if he disappeared for a few more days.

But to Ren Hao's surprise, Li Shiji had already sent a car to take Princess Rouyue, Hui Lixue, and Shi Huan back to Ren Mansion.

"Brother Li, thank you!!!"

"You are such a nice person." Ren Hao was so angry that he said it sarcastically.

"Brother Ren, we are brothers. You don't need to thank me for this little thing. You should go back to the mansion and accompany the three ladies."

"As for these messengers you brought, you...don't worry, I will definitely help you entertain them." Li Shiji laughed drunkenly, not realizing that he had meant well but ended up doing something bad.

"Just take a good rest." Ren Hao sighed secretly and put the bundle of brambles he had just put down on his back.

He was prepared to put on another show for the two ladies at home, asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on his back.

……

The news that Ren Hao returned alive was great news for everyone in the mansion, but unfortunately, Hu Ji, who had been sent away, came back again, and she came back as his wife.

The atmosphere in the living room of the Ren Mansion was now dull and depressing. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Huilixue and Shi Huan fled directly, leaving Princess Rouyue alone in the hall.

The three of them stared at each other, and finally Princess Rouyue broke the silence and called Su Wan'er and Xu Yating "sisters".

Xu Yating was already angry, and now when Princess Rouyue called her "sister", she took out all her anger on Princess Rouyue, saying that she was really a scheming princess.

When she stayed in the mansion temporarily, Su Wan'er and I took good care of her.

Even when she left, she was given food and drinks.

But now, this is what she calls reward?

She directly seduced their husbands and turned them into prince consorts from the Western Regions.

"My two sisters, things... things are not like that. Although I admire you, you are awesome, things are really not what you think." Princess Rouyue looked aggrieved.

Although she had intended to hook up with Ren Hao before, in the end it was Ren Hao who took her away. If we have to discuss right and wrong, she and Ren Hao should each be half responsible.

But unfortunately, the Second Lady was completely unreasonable. In her eyes, this was all her fault.

Just when Princess Rouyue was feeling aggrieved, Qingzhu walked into the guest hall and reported, "Madams, the master is back."

"Humph."

"This bastard has the nerve to come back!!!" Xu Yating slammed the table in anger.

When he disappeared with his life or death unknown, she and Su Wan'er were worried and cried every day. But now thinking about it, her and Su Wan'er's worries were really unnecessary.

This bastard is outside, hugging Hu Ji and enjoying the good life.

Compared to Xu Yating's anger, Su Wan'er was much more tolerant.

As long as Ren Hao can come back alive, that is more important than anything else.

As for the matter of Princess Rouyue, the matter is already settled, so just admit it.

After all, they have come thousands of miles to follow Ren Hao back, and we can't just send them back.

"Qingzhu, where is the master now?" Su Wan'er stood up and asked.

"The master is kneeling at the gate of the mansion right now and refuses to come in." Qingzhu smiled and answered truthfully.

"Hmph, he actually knows how to admit his mistakes." Xu Yating snorted and grabbed Su Wan'er who was about to go out to meet Ren Hao.

She wanted Ren Hao to kneel outside the door for a while as a punishment.

But Su Wan'er felt sorry for Ren Hao, so she ran out without thinking about anything else.
