Then the topic of Ye Liang came up again.
The Jiang family extended their affection to him as well, for which Ye Liang was very grateful.
However, he hesitated for a moment: "Princess, I—"
"Xiao Liang, just say what you want to say. From now on, you're part of the Jiang family, so don't be distant," Princess Shouguang said gently.
"That's right. Although I can read and write, I mainly want to join the army. I want to follow Brother Da Meng and train in the army. I asked Princess Zhenguo, and she agreed."
He went on a tour of Qingfeng Plains and was inspired by the disciplined and imposing atmosphere of the army. He wanted to become one of them.
“No problem.” Princess Shouguang readily agreed: “Then you can go and train in your spare time, and study when you come back. The courtyard has been arranged for you, so you don’t have to worry about any of this. You can do whatever you want. As long as you are positive and motivated, your sister and I will support you.”
Ye Liang opened his mouth, but felt his eyes sting and almost couldn't hold back his tears.
In Xiamei Village, the siblings endured years of scorn and were later driven away, experiencing little warmth or kindness.
But when we arrived in the capital, the Qiao family was so kind, and the Jiang family was so kind too, making us feel warm all over. Compared to the past, it was truly a world of difference.
Now that Jiang Shulan is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Da Meng can no longer be as close to her as before.
Seeing how well she has become, he felt gratified.
After all the waiting, the clouds parted and the moon shone brightly; it was all worth it.
As Jiang Shulan left, she glanced at Qiao Dameng and saw a burning intensity hidden in his eyes.
She understood his feelings.
But now, just as she has been reunited with her family, the Jiang and Zhong families are facing another uproar over the annulment of their engagement.
It's not appropriate to discuss the matter between the two of them for the time being.
She nodded slightly to him and went out the door.
Qiao Dameng wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that there was a sense of comfort in Jiang Shulan's gaze, as if she was trying to put him at ease.
Qiao Dameng felt a surge of excitement.
He still has some things to deal with at the Jiang family, so he's not in a hurry and doesn't want to put Xiao Lan in a difficult position.
In the days that followed, Madam Wei remained mentally unstable. Although Jiang Shuxue had regained consciousness, she stared blankly into the air every day, showing no will to live.
Lord Jiang did not send a doctor to examine the two men, and ordered the courtyard to be sealed off forever, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The Jiang and Zhong families attacked each other, each claiming that they had taken the initiative to annul the engagement. The various prominent families in the capital were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
As time passed, the turmoil gradually subsided.
No matter how much trouble they cause, in the end everyone has to live their own lives, and the strength and prosperity of the family is the most important thing.
Da Meng started inviting Jiang Shulan to go shopping and watch plays at the theater.
The Jiang and Qiao families saw this and understood each other perfectly. Both sides were satisfied with each other's families and were just waiting for the right opportunity to help the two get together.
In early autumn, the Dongfu Kingdom, which is hundreds of miles away from the Daze Kingdom by sea, sent an envoy to pay tribute.
Princess Lingyu of Dongfu Kingdom also arrived.
The envoy's procession was very large, and the Great Swamp Kingdom welcomed them with great ceremony.
However, in reality, ships from Dongfu Kingdom frequently harassed the coastal borders and fishermen of Daze Kingdom. Despite being severely beaten by Daze Kingdom countless times, they did not restrain themselves, and the conflict between the two countries remained unresolved for a long time.
Rumor has it that if Princess Lingyu can bring a satisfactory son-in-law from Daze Kingdom during her visit, fifty years of peace can be guaranteed.
