Chapter 203 - 205: Misplaced Love
Unlike Nalan Yan’er, who was born into a prestigious identity, Nalan Chun was just a concubine daughter in the Grandmaster Mansion. Her mother was a maid brought in with Nalan Yan’er’s mother, and she was two years younger than Nalan Yan’er.
Before she married into Prince Shun’s Mansion, although she was not as outstanding as Nalan Yan’er, she was a normal person.
"You know, Ah Wu had already married three Princess Consorts. The first one died violently the night she married in, you know about Zhao Ningyue. Later, Crown Princess Consort Nalan spoke highly of her sister and even admired Ah Wu. The Emperor also approved of this marriage, so I thought it was sad that Xiaojin always lacked a mother, so I decided to agree."
When Nalan Chun married in, Dugu Wu did not agree. He used the ongoing war as an excuse, not wanting to return to the mansion.
On the wedding day, as Dugu Wu was absent, Dongfang Yong had to replace him in the ceremonial bowing to heaven and earth.
"But on the wedding night, there were assassins in the mansion who kidnapped Xiaojin. To save Xiaojin, Nalan Chun sustained serious injuries. When she awoke, she was left in the mentally disabled state you see today. We sought help from the Imperial Physician and other Divine Doctors everywhere, all said her head injury was incurable for life."
Having said that, Princess Consort Shun sighed.
"I didn’t ask you to send her back to the Grandmaster Mansion. I will take responsibility for her medical costs and future expenses."
Dugu Wu furrowed his brows.
To him, Nalan Chun was nothing more than a stranger whose name he knew.
