The whole capital was watching Lin Qinghuan's joke.
She failed to be a good Crown Princess, and instead married Xiao Hansheng, a powerful official with a bad temper who was said to be dying soon.
Everyone bet that she wouldn't survive three months.
But they didn't know that the frightened Mr. Xiao was holding the medicine bowl and begging her in a low voice: "Madam, take another sip, just one sip."
She thought it was a deal, but he was desperately tempted.
Some people mocked her as an "abandoned woman who married by mistake." In front of everyone, he personally tied the only phoenix hairpin for her: "I am the one who married my wife."
Later, the concubine knelt in front of the house and begged her for forgiveness. The prince asked her with red eyes why she chose him instead of him.
Before Lin Qinghuan could speak, she was pulled into someone's arms.
Xiao Hansheng raised his eyes coldly: "Look at my wife again and I will dig out your eyes."
