She transmigrated into a novel as the Dragon King protagonist's early-deceased fiancee. This story features transmigration, a black-bellied male lead, a cannon fodder female supporting characte...
After Jiang Shi was taken away by the Dali Temple, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was as normal as usual, and the servants did not show any panic.
Xie Jing looked at Yu Tanqi, who was still sitting in front of the chessboard, staring at the board covered with black and white chess pieces in a daze.
"Sister Tan Qi." He called her worriedly.
Yu Tanqi came back to her senses, looked at him, curved her lips, and revealed a well-behaved and lovely smile: "Cousin Jing, you have to believe in Prince Jiang, he will come back safely."
Xie Jing pursed his lips slightly, but couldn't help asking, "Why do you trust him so much?"
Yu Tanqi said, "Because he is a very good person, and his parents are also very good people. For the Wanjin Kingdom, his parents have sacrificed a lot, even their own lives. Cousin Jing, we can't be too harsh on heroes and their children."
Xie Jing didn't say anything, but his heart was somewhat touched.
Yes, Jiang Shi's parents were both heroes of the Wanjin Kingdom.
He has read many books and is familiar with the history of Wanjin State. The former Wu'an Hou Jiang Chu and his wife Lan Luozhu were heroes who left a mark in history books.
Jiang Chu is the god of war of Wanjin State. In order to protect Wanjin State, he is stationed at the border all year round and rushes to the front line of the battlefield.
The previous dynasty was almost destroyed by the Tianqi Kingdom. After the establishment of the new dynasty, military generals rose to prominence and defeated the Tianqi Kingdom.
After Jiang Chu went to the battlefield, he beat the soldiers of Tianqi State and made them flee in panic like stray dogs, and recovered a lot of land lost by the previous dynasty.
Lan Luozhu went to the battlefield as a woman, which made her a legend in Wanjin Kingdom.
Because of Lan Luozhu, women in Wanjin Kingdom no longer worship gentleness as beauty, but work harder to prove the meaning of their existence. More and more female doctors and female coroners have appeared.
Although the Wanjin Kingdom still had a male-dominated society and women were not allowed to take the imperial examinations, their status was much higher than that of the previous dynasty.
It can be said that without Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu, Wanjin Kingdom would not have its current peaceful and prosperous scene.
The main reason why Xie Jing didn't like Jiang Shi was because he felt that Jiang Shi was not worthy of being the son of Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu. He was too mediocre and had no other highlights except for his face.
But Yu Tanqi's words made him suddenly realize.
"We can't be too harsh on heroes and their children."
Yes, Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu are heroes of Wanjin State. They have contributed so much to Wanjin State. As people of Wanjin State, they enjoy the protection of Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu, but they despise their son for being too mediocre. Isn’t it too harsh and too much?
The children of heroes shouldn't be treated like this.
Xie Jing felt ashamed. He had read a lot of books and thought he had seen through a lot, but now he suddenly realized that he still had a worldly perspective.
The child of a hero does not necessarily have to be a hero. He can be an ordinary person, just like the countless people protected by the hero.
"I'm narrow-minded."
The sky gradually turned orange-red.
Butler Ying came over and asked, "Miss Yu, Mr. Xie, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Xie Jing looked at him, as if he had vaguely sensed something.
The owner of the Marquis' Mansion was arrested, but Housekeeper Ying remained calm and composed, and the servants in the mansion did not show any panic. Is Jiang Shi really as mediocre and incompetent as the rumors say?
Yu Tanqi said softly, "Whatever."
She nonchalantly played with the two black and white chess pieces in her hand. Even though she knew where the plot was going, she couldn't help but worry about him.
He will be fine, right?
…
Overnight, the entire capital knew that the Marquis of Wu'an's son Jiang Shi had been captured by the Dali Temple. When Yun Shu found out, she became extremely anxious and wanted to rush to the Dali Temple immediately. When she was about to leave the palace, she ran into her biological brother, Prince Yun Xuan.
Yun Xuan called her: "Shu'er, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
The young man was dressed in purple clothes and had fair skin. His appearance was somewhat similar to Yun Shu, but his features were deeper, his spirit was clear and his bones were refined.
When Yun Shu saw him, her eyes lit up. She grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother, Prince Jiang has been arrested by the Dali Temple. He must have been wrongly accused. I want to go and save him."
"Since it is the Dali Temple that is arresting people, there must be a reason. It won't be for no reason. What's the point of you going there now?" Yun Xuan said slowly.
"How could Crown Prince Jiang bribe a tribute student and commit treason? He must have been framed. How could he, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, be imprisoned in a filthy and gloomy place like the Dali Temple? I want to save him."
Yun Shu was anxiously worried about saving people, but at the same time she was imagining that if she could rescue Jiang Shi, he would definitely look at her with admiration, and might even be very moved and see her good side.
By then, Jiang Shi might find out that when he encounters danger, only Yun Shu can save him in the first time, and his fiancée is nothing. She might be so scared that she wishes she had never met him.
After all, the crime of treason is a serious one, and if you are not careful, your entire clan will be executed.
As soon as Yun Xuan saw Yun Shu's eyes, he knew what she was planning. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Will you be able to rescue Prince Jiang if you go?"
Yun Shu was stunned and felt a little insecure for a moment. She was just a princess, and a princess with no power at all. How could she rescue someone directly from the Dali Temple?
But she still said: "Even if I can't save him, I will help him and let him know who is the one who truly cares about him. His so-called fiancée is definitely not as good to him as I am."
Jiang Shi was a celebrity in the capital. The news that he had recently left the capital to pick up his fiancée from the Xie family of Chenjun spread, and Yun Xuan also heard about it.
Yun Xuan did not comment on the girls' jealousy.
With a hint of smile on his lips, he said helplessly, "You, knowing that he already has a fiancée, why are you still unwilling to let him go? It's impossible for him to abandon his fiancée and marry you."
Yun Shu snorted softly, "So what if he has a fiancée? They haven't gotten married yet, and they haven't even officially gotten engaged. His fiancée hasn't known him as long as he and I have. I don't believe he'll fall in love with her so soon. As long as they haven't gotten married, I still have a chance."
Yun Xuan admired Yun Shu's unyielding spirit. He did not dissuade her, but let her out of the Prince Yun's Mansion and allowed her to go to the Dali Temple to find Jiang Shi.
Under the bright spring sunshine, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his thin lips slightly raised, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Prince Wu'an, are you really as mediocre and incompetent as the rumors say?
Yun Xuan smiled strangely, rubbed his slightly rough fingertips, and sighed softly.
In this capital city, how many people are as simple in appearance and reality?
As the son of Jiang Chu, the former god of war of Wanjin State, Jiang Shi, please don't let us down.
Yun Xuan turned around, and the breeze blew her inky black hair into a soft yet sharp arc in the air.
He put one hand behind his back, walked at a leisurely pace, his demeanor elegant and calm.
