Upon hearing Lu Jingxing's reply, Wanyun said, "I just don't understand. If Wei Mingsang loved Mu Wanruo so much, why would he have her entire family killed?
"If I were Wei Mingsang, I would have definitely helped the person I love. To not help just means the love wasn't deep enough."
But Lu Jingxing disagreed with her. "At the time, Wei Mingsang had to consider not only his family's future, but also the welfare of the entire realm. He couldn't be bogged down by sentiment. What is the love between a man and a woman compared to matters of state?"
Wanyun pulled away from Lu Jingxing's embrace, a pang of disappointment in her heart.
Given Lu Jingxing's perspective, she dreaded to think what would happen in five years if she still couldn't conceive. He would surely find another woman and tell her with a straight face that personal affections were nothing compared to producing heirs for the Imperial Family.
A wave of sorrow washed over Wanyun at the thought.
