Jin Jianzhong could easily hear the sarcasm in those words. He flew into a rage and roared:
"presumptuous!"
"Mind your place; it's not your place to spout nonsense!"
"What do you know, you're just a girl?! Do you even understand matters of national importance?!"
Jin Changge frowned slightly, and immediately retorted with a stern face:
"A woman? Your Majesty isn't a woman? Are you looking down on me or on Your Majesty?"
Jin Jianzhong froze, pointing angrily at Jin Changge: "You........!"
Jin Changge took a step forward, her pretty face cold, and interrupted Jin Jianzhong:
"What do you mean, 'you'?!"
"How dare you! Are you perhaps making a veiled criticism of His Majesty?"
"Second brother, tell me, what should be the punishment?"
When his name was suddenly called, Jin Jiande almost choked on his tea, but quickly he shouted:
"To subtly mock His Majesty! This is an insult to the emperor!"
"The emperor cannot be insulted! Anyone who insults the emperor should be dragged out and beheaded!"
Jin Jianzhong's eyes widened suddenly. He turned his head and looked at Jin Jiande with disbelief, trembling with anger.
But unexpectedly, Jin Jiande suddenly burst into laughter. He pointed at Jin Jianzhong, whose face was flushed red, but looked at Jin Changge instead. He said with a grin:
"See that?"
"He's panicking! He's panicking! Hahahaha!"
Jin Changge kept a straight face, but couldn't help but chuckle.
"What do you mean! Are you making fun of me?!" Jin Jianzhong roared at Jin Jiande, his face full of anger.
Jin Jiande waved his hand with a smile: "Alright, alright, what's there to argue about?"
"You took it seriously? Aren't we all family? Why would we speak like that when we're family?"
"Well, little sister, women are naturally more thoughtful and consider things more carefully. You don't need to blame me. After all, you're a grown man, so you should be more magnanimous."
"Don't let this ruin your relationship."
"Right? Yongning, what do you think?" Jin Jiande gestured towards Jin Changge with his chin.
Jin Changge pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Third brother, please don't take what I said to heart. You know me, I'm always outspoken."
"Isn't this because I'm worried about our safety when we go all out in the future?"
"If something goes wrong and Dajiang falls into the hands of another country, wouldn't our Kim family be scorned and leave behind a legacy of infamy?"
Jin Jianzhong snorted coldly and angrily sat down in the chair as well:
"Nonsense! After eliminating the traitors and quelling the domestic chaos, our family will still be the masters of great things in the future!"
Jin Changge picked at her fingernails and replied indifferently:
"I'm afraid that if we go all out, we'll end up with several masters, and that would be troublesome."
"If that's the case, with several owners for one piece of land, there will be constant disputes, and they might even end up fighting."
With a "smack," Jin Jianzhong slammed his hand on the tea table.
"Nonsense!"
"You're just spouting nonsense!"
"Yongning, what's wrong with you? I know you don't like me, but there's no need to go against me at every turn, is there?"
"If I hadn't acted as a go-between, do you think we could have gotten any help? It's one thing if you can't help, but you're also making sarcastic remarks. It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Jiande laughed and said, "No, no, no, please don't say that."
"Isn't Yongning sitting down?"
Jin Jianzhong snorted coldly: "Enough! Second brother, stop joking around!"
“You are physically disabled now and can’t help much, so just watch us do it. Our family will remain the same as before.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande picked up his teacup again, but his expression instantly turned icy cold.
Just then, a faint laugh suddenly rang out:
"Who said I can't help? You're not right about that!"
"I'm... about to become the governor's wife, how could I not be of help?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Jiande abruptly put down his teacup. Like Jin Jianzhong, the two of them looked at Jin Changge at the same time, their faces showing shock.
Jin Jiande spoke first, his face showing urgency: "Yongning, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Jin Changge smiled leisurely, his eyes narrowed, and said, "Do I need to repeat myself? I said I'm going to become the Governor's wife."
"Did you all hear me clearly?"
Jin Jiande stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could Yongning say such a thing? What Governor's wife?
Is she getting married again? That's impossible!
Jin Jianzhong, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and then spoke up: "Yongning, you don't mean to say that you and Zhaoyang are going to marry Sir Fan Lilun together, do you?"
Jin Changge rolled her eyes and scoffed:
"I never expected you to say something like that?"
"We may not be what we used to be, but surely it's not like we're going to marry two princesses to one person? What do you take us for?"
"Is he lucky enough to have that?"
Jin Jianzhong touched his nose sullenly: "Then what happened? Explain yourself clearly."
Jin Changge glanced at him and said casually, "I took Zhaoyang's place."
“She is a princess, and so am I. It’s not like I can’t go.”
"Anyway, I'm going to get married eventually, so it doesn't matter who I marry. If I marry now, I can marry into a powerful country and become the wife of a governor."
"I don't think much of those people in China either."
As the words fell lightly, Jin Jiande, who had been listening intently, frowned deeply.
"Nonsense! What are you talking about!"
"Is marrying into a foreign land such a good thing? I already told Father that we absolutely cannot let you..."
