But who would have thought that not long ago, she was still an unknown Shu daughter in the Shen residence. She did not leave the courtyard all year round and the servants did not recognise that she was a Young Lady of the Shen residence. Not to mention that when Ren Wan Yun was the head of the household, there was not a single sight of meat or oil in the meals for ten days to half a month.
The past and present were like the difference between clouds and mud. People walk towards higher places while water flows downwards. Even though this residence of the Minister of Land was not as powerful as other official families, it was considered to be overflowing with wealth. There had never been anyone who relied on the salary of the Imperial Court to live. Before marrying into the residence of the Minister of Land, Shen Dongling had always thought that the Wang family followed Prince Zhou, but after that she found out that the real master of the Wang family was the Crown Prince. As a Minister of Land, the family actually had such a rich family property, it was because the Wang family had some dealings with the salt smugglers, and the money naturally flowed into the residence of the Crown Prince. But even if the goose's feathers were plucked, the little bit of goose's feathers that were deducted was enough for the family to spend money in the Ding capital. There was no need to think too much, as one had to know that the salt smugglers were a profitable business with little capital.
If one were to say that the matter of money was already Shen Dongling's surprise, then Wang Bi himself made Shen Dongling extremely satisfied. Wang Bi looked honest but was actually shrewd and could be considered as one of the great generals under the Crown Prince. In the beginning Shen Yue looked down on Wang Bi, but did not know that it was because she had eyes but could not see. Shen Dongling was born pretty and her temperament was even softer. The most important thing was that she would always give some suggestions on Wang Bi's matters. But she never interfered excessively and cautiously kept a distance. The more it was like this, the better Wang Bi treated her. To marry a wife, one must marry a virtuous one, especially when this wife was not only virtuous and intelligent, but also charming and considerate, which was even more valuable. Wang Bi had always been glad that Shen Dongling and Shen Yue exchanged marriage at that time. In the Minister of Land's family, Wang Bi was the only son and Wang Bi was also very capable, thus Wang Bi was the one in charge of the Wang family. Naturally, Shen Dongling became the matriarch of the Wang family. The servants all respected her and if Ren Wan Yun was still alive, she would be so angry that she would fall down. That Shu daughter that she regarded as an ant was now living a more comfortable life than Ren Wan Yun, and Wan YiNiang naturally rose with the tide and lived a wealthy life.
It was the same today.
Wang Bi returned from outside and handed the pastries in his hands to the servant girl, "I passed by Guang Fu Zhai and bought your favorite cloud cake on the way."
"Thank you, my husband." Shen Dongling poured tea for him with a smile. Her every move revealed a soft and boneless feeling. Most likely it was because she was the daughter of Wan YiNiang that she had some special amorous feelings in her bones. She smiled and said, "My husband is very happy today. Did something good happen?"
Wang Bi didn't hide most of his matters from Shen Dongling because Shen Dongling wasn't a talkative person. She would occasionally share his worries. Now that Wang Bi and Shen Dongling had just gotten married, they were in a sweet relationship. Wang Bi said, "His Majesty wants HuangFu Hao to have more contact with the Crown Prince, most likely he wants to establish good relations with Qin. His Majesty had given such a favor to the Crown Prince. It was obvious that he wanted to support the Crown Prince. When a person achieves Dao, his chickens and dogs will also ascend to Heaven. Since we are the Crown Prince's people, when the Crown Prince inherits the throne in the future, he will only give us a share of credit. "He smiled as he looked at Shen Dongling," Do you think that there should be a celebration? "
Shen Dongling's thoughts turned for a moment but immediately a surprised smile bloomed on her face, "Really?" Finishing, she looked at Wang Bi with some adoration and softly said, "Husband is really powerful. It is really the good fortune that this concubine had cultivated in her previous life to be able to follow Husband."
Any man's vanity would be greatly satisfied to be looked at by such an enchanting woman with such a worshipful gaze. Wang Bi smiled, "Is this easily satisfied?" He sighed and said regretfully, "If His Majesty had bestowed Fifth Shen Young Lady's marriage to His Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would have the support of the Shen family's military and it would be more advantageous. Our chances of winning would be higher. Even though there is a temporary friendship with the Qin country, but in terms of military … He sighed, "Strength is often the most important."
