Chapter 764: Such Admirable Love Ah!

Ning Shu glanced over at the little prince who was sitting next to Princess Mingzhu. The little prince was very thin and his face was filled with exhaustion. Even as he ate, it seemed like he had the will but not the strength. He hadn’t said a word since he had entered the general’s residence.
However, Princess Mingzhu didn’t notice any of that. In her heart there was only love, and love.
She exhorted the little prince every day that he needed to restore the glory Prince Yan’s residence, but she never thought about the fact that her own actions would ruin the little prince’s future. During her time of mourning she had illicit sexual relations with a man and gone to the battlefield on her won despite being a woman. She was clearly an imperial princess but she insisted on becoming someone’s mistress. With an older sister like this, the little prince would have to face all sorts of strange looks.
This humiliation would be branded onto him for an entire lifetime.
So such admirable love ah!
Ning Shu ate very little at this meal. After the meal, everyone headed back to their own courtyards. Princess Mingzhu kept looking at An You infatuatedly. When An You saw her like this, something in his heart stirred like something had broken out. His heart filled with great joy but also intense uneasiness. He said hoarsely, “Princess, rest well.”
After obtaining this sentence, Princess Mingzhu reacted like she had just obtained the entire world and happily took the little prince’s hand to walk back to her courtyard.
Perhaps An You had truly been only treating Princess Mingzhu like a daughter, but he couldn’t resist the fact that such a wonderful woman admired and had feelings for him. Compared to the dignified and imposing Wei Lingxian, Princess Mingzhu’s naivety and purity gave him a completely different stimulation.
An You followed Ning Shu back to her courtyard. When Ning Shu saw that An You seemed to want to go to bed with her, she completely fell apart.
Neither of them spoke, so the atmosphere was a little awkward. Finally, Ning Shu said, “Husband, you must be tired. You should rest early.”
Fortunately, An You also didn’t seem to have any intentions of tumbling with her and just lay down next to her.
Ning Shu sighed in relief. Good thing they didn’t have to tumble. This was someone else’s husband after all, not her husband. Although this body was his wife’s, the soul was still hers.
She was only here to complete the tasks. After completing the tasks, she would be leaving this world, so she didn’t have the right to use this body to do things that were unreasonable.
For example, consider this messed up situation. If one day your mother and your girlfriend swapped souls and only OOXX would fix this situation. Would you OOXX your mother’s body which contains your girlfriend’s soul, or OOXX your girlfriend’s body which contains your mother’s soul?
It would be a very difficult choice, because both choices were morally wrong.
Ning Shu flipped over so that her back faced An You. She had been thinking hard about how to complete this task this entire time. She had been feeling pretty lost ever since she entered this world because there was no clear goal for her to work towards.
She really had no idea what the original host wanted, so it left her very bewildered.
Ning Shu scratched her head a bit, then took a deep breath to calm down and tried putting herself in Wei Lingxian’s shoes.
What if she was Wei Lingxian, an authentic woman of the feudal era who followed the Confucian morals and obey in turn three men: father, husband, and son? In this era, society placed a lot of bindings on women and required for women to be faithful until death. This type of thinking was deeply rooted in Wei Lingxian’s beliefs.
In that case, a divorce wasn’t possible. A woman who was divorced by the husband in this society would have to endure enormous pressure. Some women would even feel too humiliated to keep living and choose to commit suicide.
That was why no matter how deeply An You had hurt her, An You was still Wei Lingxian’s husband.
