Chapter 412 I'm Not Doing This for You

Jiang Hao was not a person who cared about other people's opinions. Even though many people accused him of recognizing a thief as his father and killing his so-called adoptive father for power, he was too lazy to explain.

There are so many people in this world who pursue fame and fortune and will do anything for power and status. He is just one of them.

But at this moment, Song Wan'er stared at him with wide eyes, and Jiang Hao suddenly felt a little hurt.

"What's wrong with joining King Rui?" Jiang Hao pretended to be nonchalant. "A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in, and people should follow the flow."

Song Wan'er couldn't help but raise her voice: "But you are a human, not an animal! How can a human act like an animal?"

Jiang Hao didn't answer.

Perhaps it was because of the three years of getting along that Song Wan'er felt that he was not that bad.

That's why people say things like "You are a human being, not an animal."

At this time, there was still a group of guards from Prince Rui's Mansion standing in the room with knives in hand, staring at each other with eager eyes. Jiang Hao couldn't say many things to Song Wan'er.

The maid who was leading the way for the General of Pingxi on the orders of the princess saw the general and his wife arguing and said with great tact, "The general and his wife need to talk things over. We will withdraw first."

The maid said this and led everyone out.

Soon, only Song Wan'er and Jiang Hao were left in the room.

Song Wan'er approached Jiang Hao and asked him in a low voice, "Are you threatened by King Rui? If so, just blink."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Hao eagerly, eager to see him give the reaction she wanted.

But Jiang Hao just looked at her expressionlessly, without blinking or speaking.

Although the princess's trusted maids and guards had all retreated, this was Prince Rui's territory, and those people were guarding outside. Moreover, Jiang Hao was able to survive until now because he was cautious enough.

Walls have ears. Maybe someone is hiding in a corner and interpreting his and Song Wan'er's lip language.

So he couldn't say anything.

"Speak up?" Song Wan'er was a little anxious and couldn't help but push Jiang Hao. "Why are you pretending to be mute?"

"What did you want me to say?" Jiang Hao's voice sounded even more anxious than hers, and was filled with anger. "I told you to stay in the mansion and not run around, but you insisted on running away. Now, you're staying here and can't go anywhere, so you're being honest!"

"I……"

Song Wan'er was already feeling down because she was captured by King Rui's men. When she heard Jiang Hao say this, she couldn't help but feel extremely aggrieved.

She couldn't say that if you hadn't insisted on sending those people to follow me secretly, I would have run away long ago.

If we go to Xizhou with a small group, perhaps we won't attract King Rui's men.

But Liu Yi and the others were injured while protecting her.

It was she who chose to save Liu Yi and others at the critical moment and was captured by King Rui's men.

Song Wan'er also knew that it was because she did not listen to Jiang Hao that she ended up in such a situation, but Jiang Hao had scared her a lot in the past three years. She thought that this time he was "crying wolf" too, so she did not take what he said seriously.

She felt ashamed and blamed herself, her eyes were red, and she whispered, "I didn't want this to happen."

Jiang Hao rarely saw Song Wan'er looking so aggrieved.

He couldn't help but reflect in his heart: Was what I said just now too harsh?

But the next moment, Jiang Hao heard Song Wan'er speak again: "But you don't have to be threatened by King Rui."

She said, "With my brother here, Prince Rui won't kill me even if he wants the Song family's money. You're so good at weighing the pros and cons, how could you not understand this?"

When Jiang Hao heard this, Song Wan'er laughed angrily, "Of course I understand."

He knew that Prince Rui would not kill Song Wan'er, but he still couldn't help but worry that this pampered girl would suffer in Prince Rui's mansion.

This spoiled brat has no idea that there are thousands of ways to torture people in the world. If Prince Rui only lets Song Wan'er live for a moment and tortures her to the point where she is unable to live or die, he can still make Song Anlan exchange mountains of gold and silver for her sister.

Song Wan'er was born in a wealthy family and had never suffered hardship in her life. The most painful thing for her was probably being forced to marry him.

She simply couldn't imagine how painful it would be to see her skin and flesh flying around, and how painful the punishment would be. She might faint from fear at the sight of the torture instruments and lose half her life.

Jiang Hao is a vicious dog who has suffered a lot and crawled out from the darkest bottom.

He and Song Wan'er are two completely opposite extremes.

Jiang Hao should have hated and despised such a delicate and weak young lady, but he seemed to be possessed by a ghost and wanted Song Wan'er to be safe and happy, and never know the taste of sorrow in her life.

A person like him would actually have such ridiculous thoughts.

Not to mention Song Wan'er, even Jiang Hao himself didn't dare to believe it.

Song Wan'er didn't understand what Jiang Hao was thinking, so she immediately asked, "You understand why you still..."

"Song Wan'er, don't take yourself too seriously." Jiang Hao interrupted her, "I'm not doing this for you."

Just as Song Wan'er was about to speak, she heard Jiang Hao say again: "You'd better be obedient in the hands of King Rui, otherwise if you anger King Rui, I won't really come to save you."

"You..." Song Wan'er tried very hard to understand the hidden meaning in Jiang Hao's words, "You surrendered to King Rui, but King Rui didn't trust you? So you can only come to see me today and can't take me away?"

Jiang Hao said stubbornly: "Do you think I really want to take you away?"

Song Wan'er didn't answer but asked, "If you don't want to take me away, why did you come to the Rui Palace?"

Jiang Hao choked and immediately said, "I came here today just to go through the motions. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about anyone else in King Rui's eyes, and it would be hard to gain his trust."

Song Wan'er said "Oh", "Whatever you say is what it is."

Jiang Hao was speechless for a moment when he saw Song Wan'er like this.

"Since you can't take me away, you can at least take Butler Liu and the others with you, right? Two of them are seriously injured, and I don't know if the people in Prince Rui's Mansion have treated them properly."

When Song Wan'er learned that she couldn't leave for the time being, she quickly focused on the safety of others.

Jiang Hao was surprised to see that she didn't cry or make a fuss even though she knew she had to stay in Prince Rui's Mansion. "Aren't you afraid of staying here alone?"

"I'm scared," Song Wan'er said, "but what's the point of being scared? The butcher's knife is at my neck, and I have to stay alive until it falls. Besides, even if you can't save me, I still have my brother and sister... Prince Chang'an is my brother-in-law. They will all find a way to save me."

After hearing this, Jiang Hao only had one thing left in his ears: Who made you so useless?

He was so angry that his teeth were itching.

When Song Wan'er looked up again, she saw that Jiang Hao's face looked strange, and she knew that she had made him angry again.

For some reason, she felt relieved when she saw Jiang Hao angry. "Alright, stop glaring at me. Hurry up and find a way to bring Butler Liu and the others back to the General's Mansion for treatment. Don't let them die."

"knew."

Jiang Hao said this and turned to walk out.

"Jiang Hao." Song Wan'er suddenly called him.

Jiang Hao immediately stopped and looked back at Song Wan'er, "What are you doing?"
