Chapter 120 The Love Story of Marquis Jingming and his Wife

The maid had no choice but to continue to accompany her and stand at the gate of the mansion waiting for someone.

It was almost noon.

The marquis's wife still clenched the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand and paced back and forth at the gate of the mansion anxiously.

At this moment, her little maid suddenly opened her pair of black eyes wide, looked towards the street on the left, and saw two familiar figures.

She shouted excitedly, "Madam, madam, they are back."

After hearing this, the Marquis's wife immediately turned around and saw the figures of the Evil King and Marquis Jingming. They were both riding tall horses and rushing towards the gate of the Marquis's mansion.

Seeing this scene, the Marquis's nose suddenly became sour and her eyes turned red. Her eyes were filled with tears. Two tear points slowly grew bigger and rolled down her cheeks like two beads. She quickly wiped the tear marks on her face with the handkerchief in her hand. However, she also felt relieved at this time.

"Husband, Hen'er, you are finally back."

The marquis's wife went to meet them before the two men dismounted from their horses.

After Jingming Hou dismounted, he hugged his beloved wife tightly in front of everyone and blamed himself: "Madam, I have made you worry these days."

The Marquis' wife was held in the arms of Marquis Jingming and said with sobs: "As long as my husband can come back safely, everything I do will be worth it."

Marquis Jingming was deeply moved by his wife's words, and he choked up and said, "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"

After he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on Madam Hou.

Jiang Yimo saw that Marquis Jingming was getting close to his wife as soon as he got off his horse, showing off their love to everyone. They didn't feel embarrassed, but she seemed a little embarrassed. Have the ancients become so open-minded?

But the Evil King felt that he was used to it, so he reached out and took Jiang Yimo's soft little hand and walked straight into the Jingming Marquis Mansion.

Marquis Jingming and his wife hugged each other for a long time before they remembered that the Evil King and his men were also there.

Marquis Jingming looked back for Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo, only to find that they had already entered the mansion.

So the couple hurried back to their house to entertain the guests.

However, the evil king took Jiang Yimo for a stroll around the marquis' mansion in a familiar manner.

Although the Mansion of Marquis Jingming is not as large, luxurious and classy as the Mansion of King Xie, it is a quadrangle with three entrances and multiple routes formed by strict central axis symmetry.

The layout is neat, dignified and orderly, with pavilions, towers, flying eaves and green tiles, intertwined and winding, exquisite and elegant, yet majestic.

Moreover, every flower, grass, tree and object in the mansion is arranged with great care.

……

Summer comes and goes quickly, and autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye. The temperature is not so hot anymore.

Feng Wuhen took Jiang Yimo for a leisurely stroll around the Marquis's mansion, chatting about gossip about Marquis Jingming and his wife. Neither of them felt hot.

As they walked, Feng Wuhen suddenly asked in a low voice: "Momo, aren't you curious about why the relationship between Marquis Jingming and his wife is so good?"

Jiang Yimo said absentmindedly, "I'm curious. I'm waiting for your gossip."

After hearing this, Feng Wuhen chuckled.

"I usually don't like gossiping about other people's affairs, but for you, I want to gossip with you about my uncle and aunt's love history."

At this time, Jiang Yimo stopped, raised her hand and pointed at Xiaoliang in the garden of the Marquis Mansion, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go over there and sit down and talk."

There is an artificial rockery next to the small pavilion, with a stream of clear water flowing through it. There is a small fish pond under the rockery with a few small fish in it.

The small fish pond was surrounded by unknown red, blue, pink and yellow flowers. Jiang Yimo felt very happy just looking at the flowers.

Then, the two of them quickly moved to the small pavilion and sat down.

Feng Wuhen then slowly said, "My uncle met my aunt when he was out. At that time, he was being chased by someone and was seriously injured. He met my aunt who was picking pig grass by the river, and she saved him."

"My aunt's family is not wealthy. She has several brothers who have ulterior motives. They saw that my uncle's status was different, so they had bad intentions towards him..."

"But my uncle spent more than two months at my aunt's house recovering from his injuries, and the two of them developed feelings for each other during their daily interactions."

"It just so happened that the man was handsome and the woman was pretty, so they decided to spend their lives together."

Feng Wuhen paused here and saw Jiang Yimo looking at him expectantly.

He curled his lips slightly and continued, "After my uncle's injury healed, he said goodbye to my aunt and returned to the imperial city. He mentioned this to my grandfather. When my grandfather, who has since passed away, heard that his son fell in love with a country girl, he rejected it without a second thought and confined my uncle to his house. He only had people send a lot of thank-you gifts to my aunt."

"It's normal for your grandfather to refuse. Since ancient times, marriage has been about matching social status, not to mention that your aunt is a country girl."

Jiang Yimo could understand the thoughts of the evil king's grandfather.

"My uncle was detained for more than a month before my grandfather released him. But when he came to my aunt's village again, he saw only a few empty and messy houses left, with dried blood on the walls and the ground. My aunt's family was gone."

"Later, he asked the neighbors and found out that her family had received a sum of money, which led to a burglary. Her aunt became mentally confused and was sold to a brothel by a gambler in the village..."

Jiang Yimo listened quietly to the love story of Jingming Hou and his wife, and was deeply touched.

It is hard to believe that a son of an official family who is deeply bound by feudal ideas would actually treat a woman who had been to a brothel and was unable to bear children with his whole heart, and more than ten years have passed and the two are still as loving as ever. It is really rare to see such a person in this world.

It can be seen that the character of Marquis Jingming is really excellent.

"Your Majesty, you just said that the reason why the Marquis' wife can't have children is because she was forced to take a sterilizing drug?"

"Yes, I heard from my uncle that when he went to save my aunt, he was a step too late. The brothel's madam had already given my aunt a sterilizing drug. After that, my uncle searched all over the world for famous doctors, but none of them could cure my aunt's health. At first, my mother was very anxious when she heard about this. She was worried that the Jingming Marquis's Mansion would have no descendants. But now she has let it go. As long as my uncle is happy, she, as an elder sister, will bless them." Feng Wuhen sighed lightly.

Jiang Yimo smiled after hearing this and said, "It's okay. Your aunt is only in her early thirties and still has a chance to have a baby. I'll take a look at your aunt herself later! Maybe your aunt still has a chance to have a baby."

Jiang Yimo spoke truthfully, patted her chest and made the promise.

Another cup of tea passed.

Marquis Jingming and his wife asked their servants to bring a table of food and place it on the stone table in the small pavilion.
