The Wen family was known as the Pingqiao Granary. Although they were merchants, they spent half of their wealth on donating grain for disaster relief in their early years. As a token of appreciation, the emperor personally named the Wen family the "Emperor Grain Merchant" and decreed that when Meng Zijiao, the son of General Linghui of the Duke of Anguo, came of age, he would marry the Wen family's daughter.
The legitimate daughter of the Wen family had ulterior motives and would rather die than obey. In order to repay her legitimate mother's life-saving grace, the concubine Wen Yurong married into the Duke's palace and became a nominal couple with Meng Zijiao, who was devoted to her.
With no love inside and no support outside, everyone thought Wen Yurong was weak and could be bullied. The elders and relatives wanted to overpower her, and the servants and maids wanted to step on her to get the upper hand.
Everyone said that she was like a bird that had climbed onto a golden branch. Even though her status was high, she was still mean inside.
But Wen Yurong was not willing to be humbled. She took care of the health of Meng Zijiao's critically ill sweetheart, helped her nominal husband gain fame, and gradually obtained the title of minister in the palace, becoming the head of the palace that everyone admired.
Wen Yurong thought that her whole life would be smooth and her family would be in peace and prosperity. However, she did not expect that once the Wen family rebelled against the country, she became a rebellious minister and a traitor, and the abandoned wife of the Duke.
……
Meng Zijiao hung a fan in his left hand and shook a bead in his right hand. He stared at the exploding Liuxiang Tower at the street with a pair of smoky watery eyes. He tiptoed slightly, ready to go.
Wen Yurong waved her hand: "I bought it."
Meng Zijiao was in disbelief: "Are you crazy?"
Wen Yurong smiled lightly and said: "My husband is a poet and a scholar. Whatever it is, if he likes it, he will keep it in his pocket. When Zijiao wins the title of Toad Palace in the future, he will rename it the Zhuangyuan Building if he is happy. It will surely become a good story."
"..." Meng Zijiao couldn't help shuddering after imagining it, and then turned around silently.
"Where is Zi Jiao going?"
"Read and get the top prize!"
