Zhu Chongba sets out to inspect Huangzhou Prefecture with Ma Xiuying. Meanwhile, Ruyang King prepares his daughter Zhao Ya for her wedding to Chen Jiusi, giving her a luxurious wedding dress and allowing her a final visit with her imprisoned brother, Sharlu. Zhao Ya departs for Jiujiang Prefecture with an escort. Back in Huangzhou, Chen Jiusi's household prepares for the bride, with Su Yunjin overseeing preparations and Huang Wan'er expressing jealousy. News arrives that Zhao Ya is en route.

"Has the Commandery Princess already gone to Jiujiang?"

Chen Jie muttered to himself and then looked at Chen Xiaohu, saying, "Hu Zi, prepare the welcoming team. By the way, is everything ready on the Xianning Prefecture side?"

Hearing Chen Jie’s words, Chen Xiaohu said, "Don’t worry, big brother. It has already been taken care of. Zhou Chu went to Xianning Prefecture overnight yesterday and everything is perfectly prepared."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "It’s really tough on you all."

"What’s tough about it? Big brother’s grand wedding isn’t just your personal affair; it’s a matter for our entire Huangzhou Prefecture. After all, if big brother can marry the Commandery Princess, it brings honor to our whole Huangzhou Prefecture."

Upon hearing Hu Zi’s words, Huang Wan’er, who was nearby, said, "Marrying the Commandery Princess honors all of Huangzhou Prefecture, but marrying me would bring disgrace to Huangzhou?"

Chen Xiaohu laughed upon hearing this, "Sister-in-law from the Huang Family, are you jealous even with me? Then Hu Zi apologizes to sister-in-law."

Huang Wan’er, having no way around what Chen Xiaohu said, was a bit jealous, wanting to unleash some anger, but Xiaohu’s words left her helpless.

Chen Jie turned back to glance at Huang Wan’er. Huang Wan’er immediately stood up and said, "I know, I know, I won’t get jealous anymore. Truly overbearing, marrying the new love and not wanting the old love anymore."

Listening to this, Chen Jie was also helpless. Huang Wan’er was fond of acting spoiled in his presence, which, to put it simply, was an expression of her insecurity.

After all, Su Yunjin was the original partner and they were a couple who had weathered hardships together, a bond no one could shake.

As for Commandery Princess Zhao Ya, she came from a noble lineage, and marrying her wasn’t just a matter of emotions but also involved political and military significance. Even Chen Xiaohu and those under him felt that Chen Jiusi marrying Zhao Ya was a hugely prestigious event.

And what did Huang Wan’er have?

She met Chen Jie purely through physical pleasure; their relationship wasn’t as solid as that between Chen Jie and Su Yunjin. Moreover, her family background was quite ordinary, even though she was the daughter of a moderately rich household in Mianshui County, her family always treated her as a money-making tool for benefits.

One could say she was neither as virtuous as Su Yunjin nor as well-born as Zhao Ya—quite mediocre, in fact.

Moreover, she knew that relying on beauty alone was ultimately a lower rank because her youthful looks would eventually fade, and what could she rely on to please her husband when she grew old?

By then, there would be countless young temptresses lining up to steal her man.

At that time, Su Yunjin would have her virtues, her shared hardships with Chen Jiusi, and her status as the original wife to support her, ensuring she still garnered her husband’s love.

As for Zhao Ya, even more so, she would have her status and influence to support her, making it impossible for her husband to cast her aside.

Only she, Huang Wan’er, felt she could be replaced at any moment because she didn’t have anything to compare to those two.

Precisely because of her insecurity, she now desperately sought Chen Jiusi’s approval.

It was like a child; some insecure children keep causing trouble to attract others’ attention, much like Naruto Uzumaki in Naruto, who vandalized the Fire Shadow Rock to gain notice.

And Huang Wan’er caused such a commotion just to prove that her husband’s love for her was real and that she couldn’t be replaced.

Including her frantic offers of her bed, using her body to deliver pleasure, to prove Chen Jie’s love for her, or rather, she was trying every possible way to make Chen Jie appreciate her goodness.

And what she thought was her strongest asset was her unbeatable bed prowess.

Chen Jie understood the insecurity in Huang Wan’er’s heart, so he was also using his ways to let her know that he still loved her, enduring her little fits of willful behavior with sufficient patience.

Looking at Huang Wan’er’s willfulness, Chen Jie said to Xiao Hu, "You go and busy yourself."

Xiao Hu glanced at Chen Jie and Huang Wan’er before immediately saying, "Yes, I just remembered that we haven’t arranged the security for the wedding day at the Huangzhou Prefecture. I’ll take my leave now!"

With that, Xiao Hu turned and left. Watching him go, Huang Wan’er looked at Chen Jie, noticing his slightly furrowed brows.

Her heart instantly panicked; did she make her husband angry? But she didn’t mean to anger him.

Thinking this way, she cautiously edged closer to Chen Jie and said, "Hus, husband, are you, are you mad at me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Huang Wan’er, reached out to stroke her head, smoothing her messy hair, and said, "Husband isn’t mad, just a bit distressed for you."

"Di, distressed for me?"

Huang Wan’er looked at Chen Jie in surprise, Chen Jie said, "Yes, husband knows you want to cause trouble because you’re feeling insecure and want more attention from me, right?"

Huang Wan’er fell silent.

Chen Jie looked at her and said, "You are not this kind of Wan’er. The Huang Wan’er in my heart is a passionate, generous, and vibrant beauty. What did I do wrong to make you into a grumbling woman?"

"I!"

Huang Wan’er was about to speak but fell silent again after hearing this.

At this moment, Chen Jie spoke, "Do you think your husband is a philanderer, having you and Yunjin, yet still dallying with others?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Wan’er remained silent for a long time before speaking, "I, I’m just afraid you’ll not want me anymore. I don’t know why I’m like this; I’m really afraid of losing you, husband!"

Looking at Huang Wan’er with tear-filled eyes, Chen Jie said, "Do you have so little faith in your husband? How could your husband possibly not want you!"
