Chapter 375 The Wife Given Away by Her Husband 13
It seems that next time she takes action, she must not show up.

After returning to the palace, King Yue went to the study to deal with some important matters. Ning Yan wanted to tidy up and take a nap, but Pang Xuan'er came.

"Greetings to stepmother."

Although she said she was paying her respects, Pang Xuan'er didn't even bend her waist and looked at Ning Yan with a provocative look on her face.

Ning Yan's face was expressionless. "You don't have to call me stepmother. You can call me princess or madam. My son also calls your father the prince."

The expression on Pang Xuaner's face froze.

"Are you looking down on me?"

"What do you mean by disgust? You are not my child, and I have no intention of raising you. If it weren't for the prince's request for the imperial decree to grant us marriage, we would have never met in this life.

I didn’t give birth to you, nor did I raise you. Calling you stepmother is an injustice to you.”

Pang Xuan'er found it hard to understand. Could it be that this woman was speaking in a sarcastic way?

"If this gets out, aren't you afraid that others will say bad things about you behind your back?"

Ning Yan raised her hand and signaled the maid to serve tea and snacks, "Does anyone dare to say that in front of me?

It doesn't matter, let others say whatever they want."

Pang Xuan'er slammed the table, "You, you, you are just pretending! Otherwise, why did you ask my father to send my aunt away as soon as you entered the mansion?"

Ning Yan spread her hands, "Princess, think about it, I didn't know how many people there were in the Prince of Yue's mansion before I entered the mansion.

On the wedding day, your good aunt ran to the bridal chamber and beat my maid. What would you do if it were you? "

Pang Xuan'er: "I can beat that man to death." After saying that, she stopped talking as if someone had strangled her neck.

Ning Yan didn't want to embarrass her and changed the subject, "You and your aunt have been together for many years, so I think you know what she's thinking. Frankly speaking, I don't really care how many women your father has."

"You're talking nonsense. What woman wouldn't be jealous?"

"Your father has so many women in his backyard, how can I be jealous?
One more or one less doesn't make much, it's just a matter of drinking one more cup of concubine's tea.

As long as I am the princess, she will always be a concubine and must be inferior to me. Even if she is not honest, I can let her go and punish her. What nonsense can I say? "

"You really think so?"

"Life is already difficult for women in this world. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women are only required to follow the three obediences and four virtues. As long as those concubines behave themselves and don't cause trouble, I will treat them all equally and won't mistreat them.

So, what difference does one more or one less make? "

Pang Xuan'er believed her words a little, but still felt something was wrong. She was still thinking about it when she left, and it was not until she saw her aunt again that she remembered what was wrong.

What her aunt taught her was how to keep a man in her hands, to keep an eye on him and not let him be seduced by other women, and how to love him so much that she would not be willing to give him to others.

But as noble as the Second Princess is, her husband has concubines. Can she find a man to be with for the rest of her life?

It was at this time that she finally understood: this Ning didn’t like her father!!!
How dare she?

Her father is the famous god of war, King Yue of the Great Mo Kingdom!

It can be said that he is second only to the king and above everyone else. How could Ning not like her father?
Pang Xuan'er was a person who couldn't keep things to herself, so she sent her aunt away and went to the study in the front yard.

"Father, do you know that Ning doesn't have you in her heart at all? You think about her and pamper her in everything, but she doesn't like you at all. You should just divorce her!"

How could there be a woman in this world who doesn't like her father?
If it weren't for the Imperial Uncle sitting on the throne, she dared to say that there would definitely be more women who liked her father than the Imperial Uncle!
King Yue: "You went to find her?" "Yes! I just want to see what it is about her that has bewitched me.

But she actually said that she didn't mind you taking an aunt."

The King of Yue's face darkened.

"Tell me in detail what she said to you."

Pang Xuan'er is not very good at mimicking others, but Ning Yan's reaction today was so novel that she actually learned those words perfectly!
"Do you think she doesn't like you?"

The King of Yue's frown gradually relaxed. This silly girl, when did the princess stop caring about him?

She just doesn't mind having an extra concubine in the mansion, but she didn't say she doesn't mind him sleeping with her, so she still loves me!

"You are a child who knows nothing, so stop talking nonsense and go back to your yard to embroider your wedding dress."

The princess' wedding dress was naturally made by an embroiderer, as the King of Yue just didn't want to see his stupid daughter.

Fortunately, she had a good eye for choosing a husband. The Prince of Nan'an was acceptable, except that he was not good at either literature or martial arts.

Marquis Nan'an has no ambitions and will not get involved in the fight for the throne among the princes, so she can live a peaceful life this way.

As for whether to take a concubine or not, haha...

Pang Xuan'er left angrily, but since then she often came to see Ning Yan.

When Ning Yan had nothing to do, she would go to the small Buddhist temple to copy scriptures and write big characters, or sit on a cushion and turn the Buddhist beads to chant, just like a pure and simple living Buddha.

Pang Xuan'er came more often, and her mood was not as irritable as at the beginning. Occasionally, she would tell Ning Yan a few gossips outside the mansion. Ning Yan listened with a faint smile, and their relationship was not so bad anymore.

Xiang Zizi felt uneasy when she saw this, so she moved her plans forward.

This day was Pang Xuaner's birthday. Since her birthday was the anniversary of her mother's death, she never celebrated her birthday. She just had a meal with the King of Yue, burned some paper and offered some incense to her mother, and that was it.

Xiang Zizi's only chance to dine with the King of Yue was twice a year, once on Pang Xuaner's birthday and once during the Chinese New Year.

So, giving medicine became a very normal thing.

Listening to the voice coming from the side room, Ning Yan taught Pang Xuan'er: "Princess, tell me, if your aunt really succeeds today, how will your father treat her?"

Pang Xuan'er glanced at her father who had a gloomy face and couldn't help but shudder, "I'm afraid it might kill my aunt."

"So, if a man has no interest in you, don't use such despicable methods to try to get him.

The only one who will suffer and regret it is you.

If you hear that someone drugged a man and got into his bed, and succeeded, then the man is probably interested in the woman, otherwise it wouldn’t have worked.”

The King of Yue was happy again, "Princess, you believe that there is no one else in my heart, right?"

“The prince and Madam Qu have known each other for a long time and live in the same mansion. If there really were a dozen years, they would have given birth to a bunch of children. Why wait until now?
I knew from the beginning that the prince had no interest in her."

Pang Xuaner: Yes, if you liked it, you would have liked it a long time ago. Why wait until now?

Pang Xuan'er felt disgusted at the thought of being tricked into sleeping with someone she didn't like.

The King of Yue hugged Ning Yan and said, "Princess, let's go back. We will send Xiang Zizi out of the palace tomorrow. She has an affair with a guard. If she doesn't marry, she will only be able to live with the Buddha in seclusion."
