Chapter 15: Your Majesty, You Are So Pretentious
"Maybe the prince learned that His Majesty had awarded the mandarin duck jade pendant, or that Lord Song was visiting, so he hurried here."
Jiang Rumin murmured, turned around and begged Song Yunchu again.
"Sir Song, I know you have no intention of me. We have to find a way to cancel this engagement as soon as possible."
Jiang Rumin looked at Song Yunchu with an apologetic look on his face, "A rare talent like you should marry a more outstanding lady. I already have someone I love, and I know I am not worthy of you. I hope you can persuade His Majesty..."
Song Yunchu interrupted her, "How do you know I can persuade His Majesty?"
The Dog Emperor couldn't bear to see her having an easy time, and deliberately wanted to make trouble for her. She tried to persuade the Dog Emperor to take back his decision, but he would only laugh at her.
"Lord Song is His Majesty's right-hand man. When His Majesty is in a good mood, you can tentatively mention this matter to him. Maybe it will work. If His Majesty blames you... you can just put the blame on me."
Jiang Rumin bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind, "I am too persistent and cannot let go of my feelings for Prince Yi. I am willing to bear the wrath of His Majesty alone."
Song Yunchu was speechless for a while.
After being reincarnated as the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty, she was determined to change her tragic fate in the future. She had originally made up her mind not to have anything to do with the hero and heroine, but the dog emperor interfered.
She and Jiang Rumin will inevitably have contact in the future. If she can't stay away from this sadistic heroine and has to protect her from death, the best way is probably to break up the official pairing of Jiang Rumin and Jun Tianyi. If Jiang Rumin can join her camp...will it be more conducive to her future development?
According to the core of the original work, if the male and female protagonists join forces to target her, with their protagonist halo, she, the villain, will definitely be defeated.
Song Yunchu was thinking when Jiang Rumin's request rang in his ears again, "To save Mr. Song's face, you can propose to cancel the engagement. You can tell others that I am willful and capricious and make you dissatisfied. I will not refute it. Anyway, the fault is mine, not yours."
Song Yunchu frowned slightly, "Don't you care about your reputation at all?"
This world is not tolerant towards women. Once a woman is broken off from an engagement and her bad reputation spreads, she will definitely be ridiculed and trampled upon.
It turned out that Prime Minister Song disguised himself as a man to seek a future because he lamented the injustice of the world. It was much more convenient to do things as a man.
“I want to follow my heart more than fame.”
Jiang Rumin spoke so earnestly that Song Yunchu felt a headache. She caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards her at a brisk pace. She turned around and saw Jun Tianyi with a stern face.
She hated this man to begin with, and seeing him with such a sour face, she snorted in her heart and said indifferently: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi. Your Highness, don't blame me for being nosy. Miss Jiang has nothing to do with you anymore, and it is rude for you to come and go in her courtyard so recklessly."
Hearing this, Jun Tianyi looked at Song Yunchu with an even colder gaze, "I came to Miss Jiang to get something, it has nothing to do with Prime Minister Song."
As he spoke, his eyes turned to Jiang Rumin, "Miss Jiang, do you still remember the wooden sculpture I gave you before? That thing has no meaning to you from now on, so give it back to me."
After hearing this, Song Yunchu rolled his eyes to the sky.
The wood carving that Jun Tianyi mentioned was a small figurine that he had carved himself out of top-grade huanghuali wood, in the image of Jiang Rumin. It was a birthday gift he gave to Jiang Rumin, and was regarded by Jiang Rumin as a token of their love.
The scumbag asked for the gift back at this time, which was obviously out of anger. If he really wanted to cut off the past relationship, he wouldn't have to care about how the gift would be treated.
Jiang Rumin's face was a little stiff. "That wooden sculpture was a birthday gift you gave me, Your Majesty. How can I give it away and then take it back?"
"If it was a gift bought from a merchant, I would not ask for it back, but it was made by me personally, so it has a different meaning. Now that you and I are getting married, why are you still keeping it? It should be destroyed."
Hearing Jun Tianyi's cold words, Jiang Rumin's eyes showed a trace of bitterness. After a moment of silence, he replied: "That wood carving... I think it's very beautiful. It's okay to keep it as a souvenir."
"You think it's okay, but Lord Song might mind. If you want to live with Lord Song, you have to give up those things that can easily cause misunderstandings. Take them out and burn them, as a farewell to the past."
After Jun Tianyi finished speaking, he glanced at Song Yunchu.
Song Yunchu thought to herself, he was indeed the person she hated when she read the original novel. His pretentious and artificial look made her want to kick him hard.
When the dog emperor arranged the marriage for him, he clearly had the opportunity to resist, but the appearance of Jiang Yuxi made him accept the emperor's arrangement. Now he feels unwilling and comes here to seek attention. On the surface, he wants Jiang Rumin to destroy the gift he gave, but in fact, he wants Jiang Rumin to make her position clear and show her deep love for him in front of her "rival".
He never considered that his behavior put Jiang Rumin in a dilemma.
He was so aggressive that if Jiang Rumin didn't take it out, it would seem like she had failed her current fiancé and was not loyal. She would probably be caught by some villains and accused of not being a good woman. And if she took it out and destroyed it, Jun Tianyi would probably get mad on the spot, given his personality.
Song Yunchu didn't want to embarrass Jiang Rumin, so he said expressionlessly: "It's just an object. Since it belongs to Rumin, she can do whatever she wants with it. She cherishes the gift from her friends, so why should I mind?"
Jun Tianyi didn't expect Song Yunchu to give such an answer. After being stunned for a moment, his face turned pale.
A gift from a friend?
Jiang Rumin realized that Song Yunchu was trying to help her out, so she gave him a grateful look.
And her look in Jun Tianyi's eyes made him even angrier.
Song the dog thief was just pretending to be tolerant and magnanimous in front of everyone, but this stupid woman was actually moved by him.
When he asked Jiang Rumin to destroy the wood carving he had given her, there was naturally an element of anger in his words.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. The person he cared about most was Jiang Yuxi, and he had already accepted the emperor's arrangement. But when he heard that the emperor bestowed a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants on Song Yunchu and Jiang Rumin, he felt a surge of resentment in his heart.
Especially when his subordinates came to report that Song Yunchu had gone to Jiang Rumin's residence, he became even more restless.
Could it be that he really has feelings for Jiang Rumin?
He didn't want to admit it, but his steps were out of control. When he came to his senses, he was already standing outside the Duke's Mansion.
Originally, he felt a little happy when he saw Jiang Rumin was reluctant to part with the wood carving he gave her, but Song Yunchu's interference made him go from happy to angry.
Song Yunchu seemed not to notice Jun Tianyi's cold eyes, and said slowly: "If the prince really wants to live separately, the best way is to stop associating with Rumin, instead of clamoring and forcing her to destroy the gifts you gave her in the past. You are so hypocritical, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"presumptuous!"
