Chapter 292: Pretty Strong

Song Wan'er slapped Jiang Hao with great force, and his right cheek turned red instantly.

The whole hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Song Anlan stood up and was about to speak to smooth things over...

Jiang Hao raised his hand and touched his cheek, looking at Song Wan'er with wolf-like eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Your hand is quite strong."

Seeing him laughing even after being beaten, Song Wan'er couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling. What evil plan did Jiang San have in mind for her?

Lose the battle but not the battle.

Song Wan'er met Jiang Hao's gaze, straightened her chest and raised her head, trying not to appear too flustered, and scolded him, "You're sick!"

Jiang Hao also felt that he was sick. He originally issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage and asked the Song family to wait for two days. It would be better for him to propose marriage after some time.

He just wanted to see how Song Wan'er would react.

Curse him secretly or cry secretly?

However, Song Wan'er came up and slapped him.

The little girl is quite naughty.

"Wan'er, please don't be rude." Song Anlan said calmly, stepping forward and bowing to Jiang Hao, he said, "My sister is arrogant and has offended the general. Please forgive me."

Jiang Hao said nonchalantly, "Since she's my fiancée, I naturally have to take responsibility for her."

Seeing this, Song Wan'er became more alert.

Jiang San is not an easy-going person. He is pretending to be broad-minded and easy-going at this moment. He must be thinking about how to get back 10% of the points.

Sure enough, the next moment, Song Wan'er heard Jiang San say, "I want to talk to Miss Song alone for a few words. Please ask Mr. Song to leave for a while."

Song Anlan naturally didn't want Jiang Hao to be alone with Song Wan'er. Jiang Hao was a sinister and cunning man. Who knew what he would do?

Jiang Hao saw that Song Anlan was reluctant and said slowly, "Miss Song and I are already engaged. We are a couple that is set in stone. Although I come from a humble background, I would not offend my fiancée before the wedding. Mr. Song, there is no need to mention me like this."

It was hard for Song Anlan not to be on guard against Jiang Hao, but it was a bit unpleasant to say this openly.

Song Wan'er felt that Jiang San's words sounded as if the Song family was afraid of him.

"It's just a few words, what's the big deal?" Song Wan'er said to Song Anlan, "Brother, don't worry, he won't do anything to me."

Song Anlan thought about it, half agreeing, half cautiously saying: "Brother is just outside the door."

Song Wan'er responded "Okay".

Song Anlan then took everyone out of the hall.

In a blink of an eye, Song Wan'er and Jiang Hao were the only two people left in the huge hall.

The door was open, and the room was filled with beautiful scenery. The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset glow dyed the clouds in the sky red.

Before I knew it, it was already evening.

"Why are you so upset?"

Song Wan'er looked at Jiang Hao and really couldn't understand why Jiang Hao asked to marry her?

She said, "You've made great contributions in Xizhou and been awarded the title of Third Rank General. You can marry any noble lady you want. Even a princess wouldn't be difficult. Why would you marry me?"

Why do you want to marry Song Wan'er?

Jiang Hao met Song Wan'er's gaze and suddenly remembered the time when he was summoned by the emperor alone today.

The emperor asked him, "Jiang Qing is a young hero, have you ever married?"

When Jiang Hao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he replied, "No."

"A good man should start a family and build a career. You have come of age, but you haven't yet married..." The emperor suddenly changed the subject and asked him, "What do you think of my twelfth princess, Jiang Qing?"

The twelfth princess, Huo Qinghan, is the half-sister of Prince Rui.

She fell in love with the third place winner Liu Yan. Her brother, Prince Rui, once acted as a matchmaker for the two at a palace banquet, but was rejected by Liu Tanhua in public.

The Twelfth Princess was known for her talent, but Jiang Hao was a commoner. After arriving in the capital, he only inquired about the situation and had never specifically inquired about the news of these princesses and noble ladies. The rumor that the Twelfth Princess loved Liu Tanhua was known throughout the city.

Jiang Hao also listened to it.

Jiang Hao didn't care who the twelfth princess was thinking about.

What he cared about was that marrying the twelfth princess would mean defeating King Rui.

But as a son-in-law, one cannot hold real power.

This was something Jiang Hao could not accept no matter what.

But the emperor intended to marry the princess to him, and he could not refuse forcibly. After thinking about it, he could only say that he had someone in his heart.

Jiang Hao then said to the emperor: "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I already have someone I love, and I only wish to marry her in this life."

"Oh." The emperor was suddenly curious when he heard him say this and asked him, "I wonder which rich girl could have made Jiang Qing fall in love with her so much?"

The emperor's spies are everywhere in the capital.

Jiang Hao knew that if he just said anything, it would be exposed soon.

Not only will he lose his official position, but he will also become a prisoner.

There was only one person who met the circumstances that made him fall in love with her.

Jiang Hao said to the emperor: "The girl from the Song family, Song Wan'er."

The last time the emperor heard the words "Song family girl" was when Huo Zheng insisted on marrying a merchant's daughter.

What a coincidence.

The emperor's newly appointed General Pingxi also wants to marry a girl from the Song family.

The emperor said, "This girl from the Song family is really capable."

There are only two girls in the Song family, and two of them are married to princes, generals and ministers.

Jiang Hao said, "It is my greatest blessing to meet Miss Song in this life."

He told the emperor that he once saw an injustice and tried to save a beauty, but was saved by the beauty instead.

When he said he had nothing, Song Wan'er did not despise him at all, but instead gave him unprecedented warmth.

The words spoken are true and false, false and true.

He deceived the emperor and also deceived himself.

So the emperor issued an edict on the spot to grant him and Song Wan'er a marriage.

Jiang Hao accepted the order and expressed his gratitude without hesitation.

The emperor wanted to marry the twelfth princess to him, but he refused no matter what.

It was Song Wan'er who changed...

He thought it was okay to marry her.

At this moment, Song Wan'er asked him why he wanted to marry her.

Jiang Hao didn't want to mention the matter of the twelfth princess. He gave Song Wan'er a dangerous smile and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Before Song Wan'er could speak, Jiang Hao continued, "Of course it's to...retaliate against you."

He smiled with his thin lips, but his eyes were extremely dangerous.

"I knew it!"

Song Wan'er has been having strange dreams since she was scared by Jiang Hao last night. Today she broke a vase, which is not a good omen.

Everything points to this person.

She had drugged Jiang Hao and he had been holding a grudge against her ever since, trying every possible way to get revenge on her.

"But I, Song Wan'er, wasn't scared."

When Song Wan'er saw that Jiang Hao said he wanted to take revenge on her, she was no longer afraid.

What scares people the most is the unknown.

Now that she knew what Jiang Hao wanted to do, she felt more confident.

She said to Jiang Hao, "You told the emperor you were in love with me and asked for an imperial decree to grant us marriage, but you don't like me at all and you're always thinking about how to get revenge on me..."

The more Song Wan'er spoke, the more she felt she was right. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted at Jiang Hao, "Jiang Hao, what is your punishment for deceiving the emperor?"
