After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Ruoruo is actually not "Ruoruo", but rather "Ruoruo".

The word "weak" refers to the weak and insignificant, and is derived through comparison.

The doctor named him this way because he wanted him to remain below the legitimate son for life.

The name Chensha did not originally belong to him.

This is the name of the eldest son of the Chen family, born to the eldest son's father. In terms of blood relation, Chen Sha is the older brother.

As the son of a concubine in the family, Chen Ruo was quite self-aware and usually had no presence at all, for fear of getting in the way of his husband.

Even though he was so cautious, the doctor still regarded him as a thorn in his side.

The reason is simple.

Chen Ruo's eyes are very beautiful, inherited from his father who died young; anyone who sees them will be amazed.

The patriarch of the Chen family was the tutor of the Second Prince, so the Chen family naturally sided with the Second Prince.

For the sake of family honor, the eldest son of the Chen family must marry the second prince.

Unfortunately, the legitimate son already had someone he loved, so he kept it a secret from everyone and had his half-brother contact the second prince in his place.

Sometimes it's Chen Sha herself, sometimes it's Chen Ruo.

Chen Ruo didn't know if the Second Prince could tell them apart. He wore a veil and lived as his brother's shadow.

Chen Ruo has nothing.

Later, the eldest son ran away on his wedding day. The eldest son's family had no choice but to let Chen Ruo wear the wedding dress and marry the second prince in his place.

Thus, Chen Ruo became Chen Sha.

At that time, young men rarely left their homes.

Chen Ruo had never shown his face to outsiders, and he looked very similar to the real Chen Sha, so his deception went unnoticed.

After marrying the Second Prince, Chen Sha accidentally revealed her real name.

The second prince thought it was just a nickname. He said, "Weak is not good. It sounds inferior. Let's change it to another character. It's the same as 'Ruo'. People from the Central Plains say 'graceful as a startled swan,' which sounds gentle and elegant."

Weak and frail.

Memories stop here.

Chen Sha gave a self-deprecating laugh. If Kong Sangqi knew that the person he married was the illegitimate son of the Chen family, he probably wouldn't regret his decision back then...

After hearing what her father-in-law said, Hua Yue froze on the spot.

I had only ever heard about the story of a substitute bride in storybooks when I was a child, but I never imagined that it would actually happen to someone I know.

"Does Kong Sangqi know your true identity, Father?" Hua Yue asked.

Chen Sha shook her head. "I don't know."

"But he called you Ruoruo." Huayue pushed her unconscious father further into the bed and pulled him down to sit. "Could it be that Father already knows?"

Chen Sha said in a low voice, "So what if I know? It was stolen anyway, it never belonged to me."

Hua Yue thought to herself: I thought my little father was really over it because he seemed so carefree before, but I didn’t expect that he still has many things on his mind.

"Young Master, is your refusal to accept him partly due to the matter of the substitute marriage?"

Chen Sha closed her eyes. "Rather than losing it all in the end, I'd rather have nothing from the beginning."

"Who says you have nothing?"

Hua Yue and Chen Sha froze at the same time. The father and son turned their heads stiffly and saw that Kong Sangqi, who had been unconscious, had suddenly woken up.

Hua Yue: "...You must be faking it. You woke up at just the right time!"

Kong Sangqi had just woken up when he heard these words, "It's hard to believe you're my son."

Hua Yue angrily retorted, "What do you mean?!"

Kong Sangqi rubbed Hua Yue's head. "Why do you look a little dim-witted?"

Hua Yue was momentarily unsure whether she should be surprised by the other person's intimate contact or angry that he had insulted her intelligence!

Chen Sha brushed his hand away, "This is my son, don't touch him."

Kong Sangqi rubbed his temples, seemingly lost in thought, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Sha.

For a fleeting moment, the chaotic memories in his mind cleared, and the figure before him overlapped with the figure in his memory, "Ruo Ruo..."

"Ruo Ruo..." He suddenly grabbed Chen Sha's wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Ruo Ruo, I'm sorry..."

Hua Yue: "..." I shouldn't be here, I should be under the bed.

Hua Yue cleared her throat. "Ahem, young master, please calm down."

As the ruthless and cold-blooded new emperor of Yanru, Huayue forcefully intervened and rescued her father from the clutches of a certain reckless young man.

"Wait!" Huayue asked his father, "Who is Ruoruo?"

Kong Sangqi is now speaking incoherently, and no one knows exactly when his memory is stuck.

Hua Yue is now completely convinced that something must have gone wrong with her father's mind.

Chen Sha also pricked up his ears without making a sound.

"If it were your stepfather," Kong Sangqi looked at him as if he were an unfilial son, "how come you don't even recognize your own stepfather?"

Hua Yue blinked twice, "Uh..."

Kong Sangqi reached out and took down the hanging portrait, his gaze gentle as water. He handed the portrait to Chen Sha.

Chen Sha took his portrait, his expression complex.

The scenery depicted in the painting is the sea of ​​wild goose flowers on Donghuang Mountain.

The mountain dove flower was the wedding flower that was placed in their bridal chamber when they got married.

As if seeking credit, Kong Sangqi pointed to a line of small characters at the bottom of the portrait and said, "Ruo Ruo, your name is written here."

Chen Sha's eyes widened in an instant.

The small characters were written in an extremely secretive manner.

I love Chenruo.

It is Chen Ruo, not Chen Sha.

He knew; he knew it from the very beginning.

"You knew..." Chen Sha's eyes welled up with tears, her voice choked with sobs, unable to speak, "So you knew all along..."

Kong Sangqi cupped his face in her hands, "Ruo Ruo, why are you crying..."

He gently wiped away his tears with a touch of heartache, "Did your father punish you again?"

Hua Yue never met the Empress Dowager, because by the time he was recognized as a member of the imperial family, she had already passed away.

Chen Sha, however, remembered the Empress Dowager.

When she first married Kong Sangqi, he, who was then the empress, often sent Chen Sha to the palace to keep her company.

She claimed to miss her husband, but in reality, she was setting rules for Chen Sha.

It was the same back then. Kong Sangqi could do nothing but watch helplessly as her husband copied Buddhist scriptures again and again and knelt before their ancestors.

From that time onward, Kong Sangqi's ambition to seize the throne grew ever stronger.

Even Kong Sangqi himself couldn't say when he forgot his original intention.

Chen Sha shook her head, looked at the man in front of her, and finally touched his face.

Seeing that her husband's heart had softened, the retired emperor was still unreliable.

Because he fainted again.

Hua Yue was still feeling awkward when she saw her father fall straight into her stepfather's arms. She thought that this cunning man was playing some kind of trick to win over his husband.

I didn't expect it to be a real dizziness.

Chen Sha was also helpless. He held the stiff man and struggled to put him back on the bed.

Hua Yue hesitated for a moment, then said, "This can't go on. Maybe we should find a few more doctors to take a look at him."

Chen Sha nodded and said, "If only Doctor Bai were here."

"By the way, Little Father, I heard from the Prince that a medical school has been established in the capital. Our Yanru can also send people there... um... to study abroad!" Huayue said. "The Prince said it's called exchanging knowledge."

Chen Sha said, "A Yue, you should discuss this matter with..." He originally wanted to say Kong Sang Qi, but the other party seemed to be in a daze, so he had to change his words and say, "You know what you're doing."
