Chapter 66

Little Jiang had already mentioned about the eldest princess, and when she told Wen Xiao about it, her tone was full of distress and pity.

When the eldest princess was young, she was also the object of admiration in the hearts of many people in the capital. When she reached the age of marriage, the former emperor was still alive. She originally planned to recruit a general for her husband, but the eldest princess fell in love with the man who was famous in the capital at that time. Jia Yuan, the number one scholar, cried and clamored to marry him.

The first emperor was soft-tempered, and loved his only daughter very much, thinking that as a royal, he would never wrong her, so he agreed to their marriage.

The two really had a tender and affectionate time at first, and the eldest princess' daughter, Ape, was born at that time.

Apei is one year older than Wen Xiao. She loves to laugh since she was a child. She is not afraid of strangers at all. Everyone from the former emperor to the younger Jiang family loves this little girl very much. The eldest princess's family of three lives in the princess mansion given by the former emperor. Harmony and beauty make others envious.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the appearance of a woman ruined everything.

Holding a wooden box, she knelt and kowtowed in front of the princess mansion, and kept saying that she was the son-in-law's original wife.

The eldest princess watched the servants bring the woman in front of her, and listened to her telling the story of her and her husband word by word.

It was a very clichéd story similar to Chen Shimei's.

The young man was poor and desperately wanted to gain fame, but his wife went up and down the mountain every day to work in the fields, eating poorly and not wearing warm clothes, just to realize her husband's dream.

When she heard that her husband was at the top of the high school rankings, she thought that the hard times were coming to an end, and she waited for her husband to pick her up and settle down in the prosperous capital, but all she waited for was a letter of divorce.

She washed her face with tears every day, her family was impoverished, and her son was also seriously ill. The money Jia Yuan sent was used up in a short time. She saw her son lose weight day by day, but there was nothing she could do.

She cried to every relative, wanting them to take her to find the heartbroken man, and begging him to save her son. However, how could the favored relatives offend the court consort for the sake of orphans and widows? After a few taels of silver, she couldn't leave behind closed doors.

She sold the dilapidated house and land, and took all her savings to find a doctor in the city.

"This child's illness has been delayed for too long. I'm afraid only a person with superb medical skills and extremely precious medicinal materials can save him."

The doctor said so.

She couldn't find a doctor with superb medical skills, nor could she come up with a priceless miracle medicine.

She could only watch helplessly as her son died in her arms.

She cremated her son, carefully packed his ashes in a wooden box, and carried them to the capital step by step.

She wanted to bring her son to see what kind of paradise this was that could allow a man to abandon his wife and son, knowing that his son was seriously ill and dying, but not willing to take a look at him.

The woman knelt down in front of the eldest princess' mansion, telling her story tearfully.

When the eldest princess read the marriage letter she brought, her heart almost collapsed.

She never knew that the person beside her was such a cruel person.

At that time, the first emperor had died of illness, and the new emperor—that is, the current emperor—had just been enthroned for one year, and it was the time when he was young and full of vigor and hatred.

The eldest princess brought the woman into the palace and told the matter directly to her elder brother and elder sister-in-law.

The Holy Emperor was furious. While sending people to Jia Yuan's hometown to find out the truth, he took the consort and his relatives into the prison.
