Chapter 1567 Shared Wives 41
Jiang Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. "Miss Li has no objection to marrying us, so there's no need for you and me to argue anymore."
This reminder made Jiang Yuanxiu realize the importance of the matter, and he agreed, saying, "The Crown Prince wants to ruin our wedding. The most urgent thing is to thwart his plan."
"At this crucial time for seizing the throne, to still have the mind to ruin someone's marriage is truly unforgivable." Jiang Yuanqing's tone was low and cold, his eyes filled with the chilling intent of a prisoner.
Jiang Yuanxiu excitedly suggested, "Brother, how about we make sure he never gets the one he loves?"
Although the Chiang family's connections with Beijing were not as deep as those of other places, they still had the ability to muddy the waters even further.
Jiang Yuanqing looked at his younger brother, who was smug about his idea of revenge, and felt both amused and puzzled.
For those who worship power, love is merely the icing on the cake when they stand at the pinnacle of power; even if they lose it, it is nothing more than a regret in their twilight years.
Such retaliation is utterly insignificant.
Jiang Yuanqing could not understand why Jiang Yuanxiu, who had suffered so much at his hands, was still as innocent and naive as a child at an age when he was already aware of the world.
Even so, he will not let his guard down.
After all, Miss Li's kiss landed on Jiang Yuanxiu's face first.
There must be something about the other person that you can learn from.
Jiang Yuanqing: "You are responsible for maintaining order and tranquility along the route to the wedding."
Jiang Yuanxiu stared intently at him and added, "Once we're out of the capital, it'll be my turn to mount the horse."
Jiang Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "That's natural."
Jiang Yuanxiu dared not truly relax. "Brother, you'd better keep your word this time."
Jiang Yuanqing's smile faded, his eyes revealing seriousness as he looked directly at Jiang Yuanxiu and said, "I don't want to see Miss Li disappointed, nor will I ruin her joyous day."
Unexpectedly, these words caused Jiang Yuanxiu's sense of crisis to soar.
It seemed that his elder brother valued Miss Li even more than he had imagined; otherwise, given her relentless nature in achieving her goals, how could she have uttered such words of compromise?
What his elder brother cares about can, in turn, restrain him.
He believed he cared about Miss Li more than his brother did.
My elder brother must have thought of this as well.
Therefore... in order to ensure the wedding could proceed as scheduled, the elder brother chose to eliminate all unstable factors.
This includes enduring his visits to pick up the bride.
Jiang Yuanxiu suddenly understood, "I will focus on the Crown Prince's movements in the next few days, and I will leave Miss Li's safety to you."
Jiang Yuanqing nodded slightly, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "It's from my mother."
A hint of guilt flashed across Jiang Yuanxiu's face. He raised his hand to block the letter, refusing to look at it, and asked, "What did Mother say in the letter?"
"It's nothing serious, I'm just curious who Miss Li chose." Jiang Yuanqing put away the letter, unable to suppress a smile.
The family's intention is to let them rely on their own abilities.
They did manage to get Ms. Li to accept them.
Isn't that a skill in itself?
After the wedding date was officially set, Song Jinhuan could hardly see Jiang Yuanxiu.
As night fell, the Star-Picking Pavilion was filled with people.
Exhausted, Song Jinhuan collapsed onto the stargazing platform, pointing at the stars not far away, and exclaimed breathlessly, "No wonder everyone says that looking at the stars from up there feels like you can almost touch them. The platform is so high, no wonder."
The faint starlight made the girl's appearance appear hazy and unattainable.
Jiang Yuanqing took a few steps forward with unsteady steps, abandoning all sense of propriety. As his long, jade-like fingers smoothed the messy strands of hair on her cheek, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
A genuine smile curved her lips as she said gently, "You must be exhausted."
