Chapter 484: The Unconventional Second Prince Consort
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In her dream, Ruan Weiwei returned to where her biological father lived after being saved.
However, her biological father was a high-ranking official and was too busy all day long, so he could only find an old servant to take care of her.
In her dream, her mother was dead, but she didn’t see her mother for the last time. After her mother found out that something bad had happened to her, she couldn’t take it anymore and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood before dying.
After experiencing such a thing, Ruan Weiwei became more and more introverted and timid.
Later, when she was 16 years old, she met Brother Youting, who had been engaged to her since she was young.
After meeting Brother Youting, Ruan Weiwei truly entered a nightmare.
Because Ling Youting didn’t like Ruan Weiwei at all, he wanted to break off this engagement.
However, Ruan Weiwei’s father was Ling Youting’s father’s right-hand man. Ling Youting couldn’t resist, so he targeted Ruan Weiwei.
Ling Youting thought of all kinds of ways to bully Ruan Weiwei, in hopes that she could find her father to cancel the marriage when she couldn’t take it anymore.
However, because of what he had experienced previously, Ruan Weiwei was very afraid of Ling Youting’s bullying, but she didn’t dare to resist.
She had never told her biological father what had happened to her and had silently endured it.
It wasn’t until Ling Youting instructed the local hooligan to rape Ruan Weiwei that Ruan Weiwei finally couldn’t take it anymore and passed away with hatred.
Ruan Weiwei only woke up from her dream when she took her last breath. When she touched her face, her hand felt tears.
“Did you have a nightmare? Don’t be afraid. Your mother is with you in the sky!” When the female bodyguard saw the little girl’s terrified expression, she reached out and patted Ruan Weiwei’s back gently. “Look, that brightest star is your mother!”
Ruan Weiwei looked in the direction pointed out by the female bodyguard’s other hand.
There was a very bright star twinkling in the sky, as if it was comforting Ruan Weiwei and telling her not to be afraid.
At this moment, Ruan Weiwei felt emboldened.
Compared to her fate in her dream, she was already very lucky.
She had not been taken away by those people. Moreover, she had people protecting her and Sister Xiaoran who would always be her backup.
Thinking of this, Ruan Weiwei gradually calmed down.
“Thank you for protecting me! You must be tired, so you should rest too! Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”
When she saw how sensible Ruan Weiwei was, the female bodyguard’s heart softened.
“Go to sleep first! I’m not tired. I’m very capable, so I can stay awake for a few nights! Come, I’ll carry you. Let’s sleep together for a while!”
Ruan Weiwei nodded and snuggled into the female bodyguard’s arms. Perhaps sensing maternal warmth, Ruan Weiwei gradually fell asleep.
Li Xiaoran looked at the sleeping child with pity in her eyes
“What? You’re saying that my seventh brother’s men are also at that little girl’s place?” The second prince had just returned late at night. Seeing that his wife was still awake, he came to take a look. In the end, he heard this news.
“That’s right. I was also very shocked when I heard about this. I don’t know how Luo Cheng got involved with that little girl!” The second prince’s consort said in fear.
When the second prince entrusted the matter of settling that little girl to her, she thought that it would be a very simple matter. Unexpectedly, someone ruined their plans halfway through, and it was the person her husband was the wariest of. How could the second prince’s consort not be terrified?
The second prince frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Did that little girl really ask us to send her father to her place?”
The second prince’s consort nodded.
When the Second Prince heard this, he said,
“Alright, don’t interfere in this matter anymore!”
When the second consort heard this, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She was a woman who didn’t have much ambition or abilities. She just wanted to live a peaceful life.
Now that she didn’t have to interfere in this matter, she was naturally more than happy.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Rest first!”
With that, the second prince turned around and left.
To be honest, in the past, the second prince’s consort would have been disappointed.
However, after getting used to the second prince treating her as his wife and not as the woman he loved, the second prince’s consort stopped caring and started living her own life.
No matter who the second prince doted on or accepted, it was fine as long as her position as his wife didn’t change.
As long as her family didn’t collapse, she would have a stable position as the official wife.
Besides, she had a son and a daughter. Men were unreliable, so she just had to focus on raising her children.
As for those illegitimate children, she wouldn’t pretend to be virtuous and bring them to her side.
Therefore, the second prince’s family business and assets were not important to the second prince’s consort.
This was because the second prince had been working hard to develop his faction all these years. In fact, most of the profits from the businesses under his name had been used to run his faction.
As for the expenses of the second prince’s residence, the second prince’s consort took a laissez-faire approach.
If the second prince gave her more money, she would arrange things better. If the second prince gave her less money, she would put in less effort.
The person who cared about his reputation the most was the Second Prince, not her.
As for her dowry, she only spent it on her children.
As for other vixens and their children, whoever gave birth to them would raise them. She didn’t care!
It wasn’t that the second prince didn’t mention this before. The second prince’s consort didn’t cry or make a fuss. She only said with a gentle smile, “You can raise as many people as you can. If you can’t, give them away to other people!”
From then on, the Second Prince had no choice but to fork out some money to spend on the residence.
However, after that incident, the second prince no longer dared to bring women back.
After all, he realized that raising women was also very expensive.
The next day, Li Xiaoran woke up in Luo Cheng’s warm embrace. After looking at the sky outside, Li Xiaoran quickly got up.
“Oh no, we have to go to the banquet today!”
Luo Cheng opened his eyes and immediately laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“The weather is good today and the sun rose early. Actually, it’s only dawn.
Xiaoran, don’t worry. There’s still time!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“You scared me to death. I thought I was too late!”
With that, Li Xiaoran calmed down and was no longer so anxious.
“You can’t let Shu Ruyue leave your sight today, not even when you use the bathroom! I’ll secretly send people to protect you, but it’s also possible that they’ll be too far away to save you, so Xiaoran, you should be more careful!”
