The news of Wei Ruo's royal marriage entitlement spread rapidly throughout the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence, reaching those grandsons who had not earlier been present to hear the imperial decree.
Upon hearing the news, Wei Qingwan, in a daze, shattered the teacup in her hand.
Then, she collapsed back into her seat.
"Wei Qingruo... to become the lawful wife of the Ninth Prince..."
Only after a while did Wei Qingwan snap back to reality. She turned to Cuihe, who had brought the news, for confirmation: "Really, the legitimate wife of the Ninth Prince? You didn't mishear?"
Cuihe pressed her lips together and shook her head with a mournful expression: "This slave triple-checked, she is indeed the legitimate wife."
"Why is Wei Qingruo so lucky?" Wei Qingwan couldn't understand.
Back when she was in Taizhou prefecture, she was disturbed by rumors and had a bleak future. She, against all odds, received a royal marriage and became the concubine of Prince Yu.
