Hearing this, Jin Changge lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, saying:

"Mother must be even angrier now."

Jin Jiande nodded. "Yes, otherwise why would I say you and your mother have very similar personalities? You guessed right."

"My mother was furious; she almost ripped my ears off."

“I cried and made a fuss, and my father couldn’t stand it anymore, so he came up to persuade my mother, saying that’s enough.”

"Mother was quite something; she even got Father scolded along with her."

"They say it's the father's fault for not raising his children properly, but they also have a responsibility for my mistakes. If they can't discipline me, what will become of me in the future?"

“Father has always respected Mother, but you can imagine how embarrassing it is for Mother to scold him in front of so many people. Father was unhappy and said, ‘What’s the big deal? Why make such a fuss? Just give Liu Gui a hundred taels of silver. That’s enough for him to live a life of comfort.’”

Upon hearing this, Jin Changge shook his head but remained silent.

Jin Jiande continued, "You don't know, Dad's words really angered Mom. She pointed at Dad's nose and started scolding him, saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and that he was too lenient in disciplining me, which made me so naughty."

"My mother dragged me to find Liu Gui without saying a word. My father tried to stop her, but my mother pushed him away. He was so angry that he didn't care anymore. Now I'm in trouble."

"No matter how much I cried and made a fuss, it was no use. My mother dragged me to Liu Gui's place, which scared Liu Gui half to death. He immediately got out of bed."

"My mother told me to kneel down and apologize to Liu Gui, but it's funny, Liu Gui didn't dare to make me kneel down. He knelt down first and kept kowtowing to me."

Hearing this, Jin Changge sighed.

Jin Jiande shook his head and continued:

“My mother pulled Liu Gui up and said to me, Liu Gui doesn’t dare to accept my apology, but I still have to apologize to him.”

She said that people are divided into different classes, but there is no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly. I am a prince and he is a groom. We are different, but that is the only difference.

Apart from this one difference, we are the same; we are all human beings.

As she finished speaking, Jin Changge's eyes flickered, and when she looked at the memorial tablet again, her eyes were already filled with tears.

She reverently clasped her hands together, bowed towards the memorial tablet, and her voice trembled as she spoke:

"If only Mother were still here."

Jin Jiande sighed deeply:

"After that incident, my father and mother's relationship was not good, because Liu Gui died not long after, and my mother was very angry about it."

"Father killed him?" Jin Changge's expression changed slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Jin Jiande looked at the ground:

"No...no, Liu Gui drank too much and died drunk."

"Anyway, after this incident, I felt that my mother didn't like me much anymore. It was no use trying to please her; she was too stubborn."

"After my mother passed away, my aunt treated me very well... no... Your Majesty."

"But as I grew older and she ascended the throne, we became estranged and could only be ruler and subject."

"Everything has changed. Our Jin family has become like this, Da Gan has changed, and even you are going to marry that foreigner."

“This would never have happened before.” Jin Jiande turned around and stared blankly at the memorial tablet.

Jin Changge turned her face away, bit her lip, and then calmly said:

"Second brother, what's done is done, there's no need to worry about it."

Jin Jiande touched his face, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, saying:

"After you get married, if anything happens, just send a message."

“If Fan Lilun treats you badly, then you…” He trailed off, unable to think of any solution.

He could only walk towards Jin Changge and reach out to touch her head.

"No matter what, I will stand up for you. If you are really bullied, I will go after him and get revenge for you!"

Jin Changge raised her head and met Jin Jiande's face, which was slightly red-rimmed.

"Second brother, please don't come to the wedding. I'm afraid I'll see you sad, and it won't look good if you cry..."

Jin Jiande was somewhat surprised, but then he laughed:

"You...you can cry? Really?"

"Besides, besides His Majesty, Father and Third Brother are also going. If you see them, isn't that the same as you seeing them?"

“No, it’s different, Second Brother. In my heart, you are more important than them,” Jin Changge said softly.

This truly flattered Jin Jiande, and his gaze gradually softened:

“Go ahead and go. At least I want to see you get married. I also want to say a few words to Fan Lilun and give him some advice.”

"No need, Second Brother. I'm not a child. I won't let anyone bully me. You forgot? I'm skilled in martial arts. My swordsmanship is excellent. If anyone bullies me, I'll give them a good stab." Jin Changge revealed a faint smile.

Seeing the smile on her face, Jin Jiande's dejected mood eased, and he smiled back:

That's true.

"Having practiced martial arts for many years, you are not a weak woman who cannot even kill a chicken. You are the Princess Yongning of my Great Gan, and no one can bully you."

"If that foreigner gives you a hard time, just fight back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Changge sighed and said, "But His Majesty probably doesn't want to see me do anything out of line."

"After all, she now treats them like VIPs."

Even if conflicts arise, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Jin Jiande's smile suddenly froze, and his body stiffened as well.
