Ji Mingzhu stood behind Xie Yunzhen.
Upon hearing the words, her eyes shifted slightly.
Instinctively looking at the man, she could only see his sharply defined profile.
Thin lips tightly pressed, his jawline tense.
His displeasure was obvious; he was defending his mother's honor.
Ji Mingzhu and Princess An He had an awful relationship, not a trace of friendship to speak of.
Setting aside those unpleasant matters, she thought Xie Yunzhen's words made sense.
A man who wants many wives ought to declare his intentions when discussing marriage.
She didn't know whether Duke Xie and the Commandery Princess had pledged eternal love.
Nor did she know whether their marriage was by choice or compulsion.
All she knew was that the inner residence was uneasy, largely due to the man.
In the end, women are left to bear the blame.
They're criticized for being jealous, lacking tolerance for others.
