Chapter 293 Interesting

Jiang Hao's smile deepened upon hearing this. "The Emperor won't believe your one-sided statement."

When he first met Song Wan'er, he thought she was just a gullible girl.

But it was this seemingly innocent and gullible little girl who tricked him.

He thought that when he came to the Song residence today, he would see Song Wan'er lose her temper and cry, but he didn't expect to see her stubborn and clever counterattack.

It is the unknown side.

She is learning to grow up and trying to protect the Song family.

interesting.

She is much more interesting than a weak woman who only knows how to cry.

"What if I die?"

Song Wan'er didn't know why Jiang Hao's eyes were looking at her more and more passionately.

She said sternly, "If I don't want to marry you, I will even commit suicide, leaving a blood letter and asking the princess to present it to the emperor, so that it can reach the ears of heaven. How will you then bear the crime of deceiving the emperor and the wrath of the thunder?"

Jiang Hao said: "You cherish your life so much, are you willing to die?"

Jiang San knew Miss Song quite well.

I know she is playful, I know she is spoiled, and I also know she always cherishes her life.

"If I can avoid death, then of course I will." Song Wan'er said, "But if you dare to harm my brother, I will fight you to the death!"

Jiang Hao saw the seriousness in Song Wan'er's eyes.

Knowing she was telling the truth.

Song Wan'er said, "Although my Song family is a merchant family, my sister is the Princess of Chang'an, and I am also close friends with the Thirteenth Princess. It is not difficult for me to make a big fuss. Jiang San, your military exploits were also earned through hard work. It is not wrong for you to want wealth and power, but you should not plot against my Song family, and you should not plot against me!"

"Song Wan'er." Jiang Hao reminded her in a low voice, "Some things are better left unsaid. Why do you have to speak them out loud?"

Song Wan'er asked back, "There's nothing wrong with saying it upfront, right?"

The little girl was obviously very scared when she saw him last night.

Only one night passed.

How come you became so courageous?

Jiang Hao couldn't help but wonder, can a girl really grow up overnight after she reaches the age of 15?

He lived among the common people and had never been crowned at the age of twenty. He had no idea what the grand ceremony of crowning and weeping hairpins was for these young men and women.

But today, seeing Song Wan'er dressed in gorgeous clothes and with her hair tied up with a long hairpin, she seemed to be more beautiful than before.

In fact, Song Wan'er was not as calm as she appeared.

Fear is always inevitable.

But if she fails to shock Jiang Hao today, her future days will be even more difficult.

It is impossible to solve the problem once and for all with today's action, but it is at least a good start.

Her life and future cannot be completely dependent on her brothers, nor can she be controlled by Jiang Hao and manipulated by him.

"Okay, let's stop here for today."

In the end, it was Song Wan'er who spoke up to end this private conversation.

She and Jiang Hao had been alone together for too long, and it would not sound good if it got out.

Jiang Hao brought a cup of tea to Song Wan'er, "After talking so much, aren't you thirsty?"

Naturally, I am thirsty.

Song Wan'er took the teacup handed to her by Jiang Hao but did not drink it.

She had drugged Jiang Hao herself.

Naturally, I wouldn't just drink the tea handed to me by others.

Jiang Hao looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

Song Wan'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why, do you want me to send you off?"

"That's not necessary." Jiang Hao said, "I just want to remind you not to play any tricks. The imperial decree has been issued, and you and I are husband and wife."

Song Wan'er became furious when she heard this. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Jiang Hao turn around and stride out of the hall.

Outside the door, the sky was filled with sunset glow. The general in purple clothes and jade belt walked against the light. He had an upright posture, but was full of cunning.

Jiang San knew that she was reluctant to commit suicide.

She had just said so much, but because he saw through her fear of death, she could only achieve half the result with twice the effort.

Song Wan'er placed the cup heavily on the table.

So angry.

I should have slapped him twice more!

Song Anlan and everyone else were waiting outside the door. There was no sound in the hall. He wanted to go in and take a look, but he didn't find a chance.

Fortunately, Jiang Hao came out not long after.

"General, have you finished speaking?" Song Anlan immediately stepped forward and looked behind Jiang Hao, but Wan'er didn't come out.

"That's all." Jiang Hao followed Song Anlan's gaze back into the hall. "Miss Song has just spoken a lot. I'm afraid she's thirsty and is drinking tea."

For a moment, Song Anlan couldn't understand what Jiang Hao meant by this. It was almost time for dinner. If someone else came to propose marriage today, he would have to invite them to dinner even if the marriage didn't go through.

But the person in front of him was Jiang Hao.

Song Anlan didn't even want to put on a show.

"I have already reached an agreement with Miss Song. I am sorry for disturbing you today. Goodbye."

Jiang Hao also knew that he was not liked by Song Anlan, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

"I'll take the general."

Song Anlan did not try to keep Jiang Hao and wanted to send him out immediately.

"There's no need to be so anxious to see me out." Jiang Hao was about to leave, but seeing this, he decided not to leave in a hurry. He smiled and asked, "Have you counted the sixty-six betrothal gifts, Young Master Song?"

"The general said sixty-six loads, so it must be no less."

Song Anlan spoke politely, but in fact he didn't want to count the betrothal gifts sent by Jiang Hao at all.

He didn't want to marry his sister to Jiang Hao at all.

If the emperor had not issued an imperial decree granting the marriage, Song Anlan would have thrown away the betrothal gifts and kicked Jiang Hao out.

Jiang Hao knew that Young Master Song loved and doted on his sister like the apple of his eye. Before he knew his identity, he was unwilling to let Song Wan'er get close to him, and he was even more unwilling now.

Song Anlan is different from Princess Chang'an. Princess Chang'an wants to match Song Wan'er and Shao Feiyang.

In Master Song's mind, anyone who is worthy of his sister is inferior to him.

What's more, he was the one who once plotted against the Song family and deliberately approached Song Wan'er?

Jiang Hao said, "It's better to count a little bit. Do you want me to stay and count together?"

"Don't bother the general. The stewards will take care of these things."

Song Anlan just wanted to get rid of this big trouble as soon as possible.

Seeing that Song Wan'er had not come out for a long time, Jiang Hao felt that there was no point in talking to Song Anlan, so he said goodbye.

Song Anlan asked the steward to see the general out and turned to walk into the hall.

Song Wan'er was drinking tea. When she looked up and saw Song Anlan, she asked him, "Is he gone?"

"Leave."

Song Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you left."

Seeing his sister like this, Song Anlan said softly, "You don't like Jiang Hao, so don't force yourself to do something you don't like. Just pretend to die... As long as your brother is still in this world, I will protect you."

Song Wan'er looked up at Song Anlan: "But I can't live under my brother's wings all my life, enjoying his protection and care without doing anything, right?"

Song Anlan was stunned for a moment, then said: "Why not? You are my sister, I am used to protecting you and taking care of you."

Song Wan'er stood up and walked to Song Anlan, looking into her brother's eyes, and said clearly, "I'm grown up now, and I also want to protect my brother from the wind and rain."
