Chapter 75 Self-deception
It was already early the next morning when the old princess learned about this.
She couldn't believe it. They had only been together for less than two months, so why was Ling Zhi so deeply in love with her?
Are you willing to sacrifice your own life for a woman?
That was a cliff, and he actually jumped down!
Are you crazy...
Nanny Jiang brought a bowl of bird's nest and felt distressed when she saw that the old princess was still in a daze.
There is a difference between close relatives and distant relatives. Even if Miss Song is the prince's savior, when faced with life and death, the old princess will only choose her own biological son.
It's human nature and cannot be defined as selfish.
After all, there are countless ways to repay a favor, and it is not necessary to return a life.
"Dongzhu, you said Lingzhi used to pay so much attention to etiquette, how come he suddenly changed?" The old princess murmured.
"The prince follows you and the old prince, he values affection."
The old princess shook her head and laughed, "I used to think I was a good person, but ever since I learned about the existence of Xiao Jin and his mother, I've realized I'm also a selfish person. What do you mean by valuing feelings? It's just selfishness that only cares about my own feelings."
Nanny Jiang sighed, "No one is a saint, so why be so hard on yourself?"
"You're right. I'm not a saint, so I shouldn't be so entangled. From the day I stopped Xiao Jin from returning to his ancestral home, we were destined to be enemies. There's no reconciliation. Continue to investigate the shop's money and give her 50,000 taels directly to buy out her life-saving grace."
"What if Miss Song and Xiao Jin divorce?" Nanny Jiang asked tentatively.
"Xiao Jin has already hit himself in the foot. Do you think he'll be so willing to let us have our way? If we don't cut ties with Song Zijin, I can't even imagine how much dirty water will be thrown at the palace in the future.
A hundred years later, how am I going to explain this to the ancestors of the Xiao family? Just do as I say, and let me be the bad guy. "
"yes."
——
When Song Zijin woke up, he found that there was no one around him.
She was still a little uncomfortable without the big stove.
Fu Yue saw her wake up and rushed over to her, "Girl!"
"You're putting pressure on me." Song Zijin said with disgust.
"After the girl was kidnapped last night, I was frightened for several hours, thinking that I would never see her again. Woohoo... It's my fault that I don't have the ability to protect the girl." Fu Yue cried breathlessly.
Song Zijin held up her face and found that the little girl's eyes were swollen and there were dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well the night before.
"Silly boy, if you hadn't rushed over, the knife might have landed on my head. You're so powerful! And with the prince here, how could I be in any danger?"
Fu Yue wiped away her tears and sat up, bursting into laughter as she said, "Last night, the prince personally carried the young lady back, and he didn't even want her to walk a single step. The prince treats the young lady so well!"
"...Shut up, your girl I'm hungry, go get me something to eat."
Fu Yue smirked, "Miss, you're shy! There's something you don't know. After you fell asleep, the prince came to my side room and asked me to make some soothing soup, fearing that you wouldn't wake up during the night. The prince is a good man. After going through so many hardships, the girl finally saw the light of day."
Song Zijin's nose felt sore. How great it would have been if they had met earlier.
"Why is the girl still unhappy?" Fu Yue asked in confusion. "The prince likes the girl, and the girl likes the prince too. The prince is a great hero, and the girl is a beauty, a miraculous doctor and beauty. I think you two are the most suitable couple in the world!"
Song Zijin shook his head. "If everything were as simple as you say, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the world."
Marriage is not a matter of two people, but a matter of two families.
Regardless of whether they are a good match, the relationship between them alone is something that not only the old princess cannot accept, but her parents probably also cannot accept it.
Especially the father, who has always been very strict. His daughter marrying his uncle is such an immoral act that will make the father unable to hold his head up again.
A relationship without the blessing of loved ones will not last long.
At this time, there was a sound of arguing outside, which sounded like Wen Yan's voice.
"Go and have a look. I hear it's Brother Shouqian coming."
When Fu Yue pushed the door open, she saw Wen Yan being stopped by Wang Ge, and the two were arguing.
His official hat was even tilted, which shows how anxious he was.
Seeing Fu Yue, Wen Yan's eyes lit up, "Fu Yue, come and help me talk."
"Brother Wang, this is our girl's good friend, please let him in."
Wang Ge didn't move. "The prince said that no one can enter the clinic until he comes back."
Fu Yue stamped his feet, knowing that he could no longer command, so he simply went back to ask for help.
Song Zijin found a high-necked dress and put it on. After making sure that the wound on her neck was covered, she pushed open the door and walked out.
Seeing her, Wen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm glad you're not hurt.
God knows how anxious he was when he heard about the vicious incident that happened in the clinic last night.
When he heard that Xiao Jin had not gone out, he knew that this matter was most likely related to Xiao Jin. Without caring about anything else, he rushed straight to the clinic.
"Mianmian, are you okay?"
Song Zijin smiled and nodded, "I was just a little frightened, it's okay."
Wen Yan felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt a lot of inferiority.
If he had stayed in the clinic last night, he would definitely not have been able to save her.
If he wants higher power, he has to stay in the capital.
But Zijin is unhappy if he stays in the capital...
"Guard Wang, Lord Wen is not a bad person, let him in." Song Zijin negotiated.
Wang Ge's attitude became obviously respectful, but he still did not allow for negotiation: "It is the prince's order, young lady, please do not embarrass me."
What a joke! Wen Yan is the prince's number one rival in love. If he lets that person in, he'll be punished when the prince returns!
Song Zijin pursed her lips and said, "Since outsiders are not allowed to enter, can I go out?"
Wang Ge was stunned. The prince had never issued an order to put Miss Song under house arrest, but if he let Miss Song out, wouldn't the prince be jealous to death?
"It's dangerous outside, it's better for you to stay inside, girl."
Song Zijin could see that Xiao Linyuan had no intention of restraining her.
He squeezed out from beside Wang Ge and said, "Guard Wang, I'm going to go to the front to talk to Lord Wen. I won't leave the clinic, don't worry."
Wang Ge could only follow silently from behind and protect him carefully.
Outside the clinic, there were still many Dali Temple runners cleaning up the traces of last night's fight.
Song Zijin took Wen Yan to the cubicle where she usually saw patients.
Wen Yan stood at the door and didn't come any closer.
"Brother Shouqian, come and sit down." Song Zijin gestured for him to sit opposite him.
Wen Yan didn't move, "Zi Jin, do you like King Jin Yue?"
The smile on Song Zijin's face froze, "Why did Brother Shouqian suddenly ask this?"
No denial, I just like it.
Every time they met after the reunion, she would say, "The prince is a very good man."
She must not have known that when the three words "King Jinyue" were mentioned, the admiration and love in her eyes overflowed.
It was a look he had never had before.
As he tossed and turned at night, he told himself that it was just ordinary people's worship of the God of War, using this to numb himself.
After deceiving myself for so long, I finally woke up today.
Wen Yan lost all his strength in an instant.
Why is he always a step late?
Three years ago, he had never stood up to his father, so he left Beijing in anger for three years, thinking that by relying on his achievements to surpass his father, he could decide for himself to marry the girl he liked.
Three years later, he was hesitant and concerned about her reputation. He did not confess his feelings when they met again, giving King Jin Yue the opportunity to fall in love with her.
He laughed at himself, "Is King Jinyue good to you?"
"Brother Shouqian always asks why the prince is here. Didn't he come to visit me today?"
Wen Yan's nails dug deep into his palms, and there was lingering pain in his eyes.
"You and King Jinyue are uncle and sister-in-law. Have you ever thought about what King Jinyue would do if he knew the truth?"
