Chapter 300 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 30
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, is there anything you two would like to ask your son-in-law? I will answer to the best of my ability." He bowed slightly and said respectfully.
"Hmph! Of course we have questions to ask. Let me tell you first, although you are the current Crown Prince, my status as Wanwan is in no way inferior to yours!"
The mother-in-law looked at the man in front of her with a serious expression, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt.
His heart tightened; he had expected this to happen.
In fact, he had already secretly sent people to investigate the identities and backgrounds of these two elders before this.
He was well aware of Wanwan's background: "What my mother-in-law said is absolutely right. Wanwan should have been a noble princess in that foreign land, showered with love and affection. It's just a pity that fate is fickle and destiny is cruel..."
As Wanwan's parents, they had already sent people to thoroughly investigate Zhuo Yucheng's past before coming here.
At this moment, the mother-in-law frowned slightly and asked sternly, "I've heard that His Highness the Crown Prince previously had three concubines. Is this true?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yucheng's heart trembled violently. He could no longer care about the dignity and dignity of a crown prince. He hurriedly got up from his seat and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Mother-in-law, please calm down! I do have my reasons for this matter, and I can explain it to you in detail. Please allow me to speak slowly." Zhuo Yucheng said, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his voice trembling slightly.
The mother-in-law snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and said coldly, "Oh? Since that's the case, then I'd like to hear what kind of reason you can come up with!"
Zhuo Yucheng began to recount the whole incident with a solemn expression. His voice was deep and clear, as if every word carried a heavy weight.
As he narrated, the two elders listened intently, their expressions shifting between surprise and contemplation.
After Zhuo Yucheng finally finished telling the whole story, the two elders looked at each other in unison, their eyes revealing complex emotions.
Wanwan's father broke the silence first, slowly asking, "You mean that your eldest brother harbored ill intentions and deliberately caused trouble, but you cleverly saw through his scheme, and then Wanwan and you worked together to successfully expose their conspiracy, to the point that even the emperor punished them?"
Zhuo Yucheng nodded solemnly and said firmly, "That's right. Moreover, I assure you two that I have never had any designs on those three women, nor have I ever touched a single hair on them. The one who helped me complete the consummation ceremony was my trusted confidante, so from beginning to end, there has only been Wanwan in my heart."
The father pressed on, "Right now you only have Wanwan as your woman, but if you ascend the throne in the future, facing a vast palace and countless beauties, can you ensure that your harem will always remain empty? You know, since ancient times, emperors have had three thousand concubines, and each night they would favor a different woman. How can our daughter, as a noble princess, tolerate sharing a husband with so many other women?"
At this point, he couldn't help but recall the palace secrets he had heard in the past.
In the Central Plains, the emperor's harem was often filled with open and covert struggles and intrigues, with the concubines resorting to any means to win the emperor's favor.
They lived in a foreign land where monogamy was practiced and people had a very open attitude towards divorce and remarriage. Even divorced men and women still had the right to pursue true love.
In contrast, the lifestyle of the Central Plains royal family was simply unacceptable to them.
Zhuo Yucheng placed his hands tightly on his legs, as if using all his strength to grasp the soft fabric. How could he not know?
As the crown prince of a country, he may have many beautiful concubines filling his harem in the future.
In the deep sea of his heart, only Mu Wanwan, like a small boat, could ever find refuge.
"I..." He hesitated, as if something was blocking his throat.
In fact, all the two of them wanted was a promise from Zhuo Yucheng.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, everyone wisely refrained from pressing him further or asking more questions.
"Your Highness, please rise quickly!" The father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward, extending his hands to help Zhuo Yucheng to his feet, muttering, "If Wanwan returns later and sees you kneeling on the ground like this, she will surely be displeased."
As soon as he finished speaking, his mother-in-law stood up and moved to her husband's side, offering her help. She said gently, "Yes, Yucheng, get up quickly."
Zhuo Yucheng took a deep breath and solemnly said, "I swear that I will love only Wanwan for the rest of my life. As for those things that have not yet happened, although I dare not make any definitive statements or promises, my love for Wanwan will never waver until death, and that is beyond doubt."
Upon hearing this, the father-in-law and mother-in-law exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.
At least for now, they do not want to completely break with Zhuo Yucheng here and cause a huge commotion.
So, the mother-in-law smiled and replied, "Alright, we certainly believe in your deep affection for Wanwan at this moment."
"I..." Zhuo Yucheng opened his mouth, as if he still had something to say, but in the end he swallowed it back down.
Throughout the long course of history, countless princesses have endured the vicissitudes of time, waiting for their princes to ascend the throne, only to find their youth fading and their beauty fading.
And there are countless examples of crown princes who, once they ascended the throne, amassed a large harem of beauties.
“Yucheng!” His mother-in-law gently stroked the back of his hand, her voice as tender as water. “I know that you love Wanwan deeply, and Wanwan loves you just as much.”
The two truly love each other, which is undoubtedly the foundation for a lasting relationship. The reason we asked you those questions earlier was simply because we were worried that Wanwan might suffer any injustice in the future.
As a man, he is often more straightforward in his temperament.
Just as her husband was about to speak frankly about what was on his mind, she quickly gave him a wink, the meaning of which was self-evident—she wanted him to keep quiet for the time being and let her speak first.
"Yucheng, all these years, my wife and I have been searching for Wanwan. Heaven rewards those who persevere, and we finally found Wanwan before we old bones are laid to rest. Seeing her living such a happy and fulfilling life now, we, as her parents, feel relieved and joyful from the bottom of our hearts."
"Wanwan had a terrible experience before marriage. Her adoptive parents neglected her and only doted on their own daughter. However, Wanwan was kept in the dark and did not know that her biological parents were someone else. But I promise that in the future she will have you and me. She will be the happiest woman in the world."
