The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

322 The Truth Revealed (Double Update)_5

The unfairness pierced her heart with pain.

She lowered her gaze and murmured, "I... thought you didn't want it."

"Why wouldn't I want..."

Before the word was fully spoken, Xiao Liulang stopped.

I thought you didn't want it.

The implication of that sentence was colossal.

It can't be that my Xiao Liulang doesn't want it, but Xiao Hen does not.

Empress Dowager Zhuang knew who he was now.

She also remembered the time she "poisoned" Xiao Hen and knew that Xiao Hen had been wary of her, disgusted with her, and couldn't wait to stay away from her.

"Haven't you thought of asking me?"

"I have, but I... was afraid." Empress Dowager Zhuang mustered up all her courage and dignity to admit her feelings.

Fearing rejection, she rejected the possibility of being rejected first because she cared too much.

She would rather be wronged a thousand times than open her heart once.

Her pride was that strong and that twisted.
