Get angry
Jiang Yan indeed stayed at Pear Blossom Residence that day, until Shenshi Chunhua came to say that Xiao Yiqing invited her to admire the chrysanthemums in the back garden, and only then did she leave.
Jiang Yan couldn't guess why Xiao Yiqing had invited her to the back garden, but she was certain that Xiao Yiqing had no good intentions.
Jiang Yan originally planned to take a shortcut to the back garden with Huang Ying, but because they kept chatting on the way, they took the wrong path and ended up in the center of the palace.
Upon seeing the newly built, magnificent "Hundred Flowers Garden," Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but recall Shangguan Zeyu's previous invitation for her to move in.
She originally thought that the "Hundred Flowers Garden" was built for Xiao Yiqing, but she never expected that he would let her live there.
She really wanted to go in and see the splendor of the "Hundred Flowers Garden," but when she thought about how she would be envied by others, especially Xiao Yiqing, she felt like her head was already being chilled by a cold wind on her neck, so she refused.
Now, passing by here again, I see the gate of the "Hundred Flowers Garden" wide open, decorated festively, as if someone is inside. I can't help but ask.
"Someone has already moved in?"
Huang Ying had been trying to lead Jiang Yan down a different path ever since she realized they had taken the wrong route, but she couldn't persuade Jiang Yan to stay on this path. So, she couldn't keep the truth from Jiang Yan any longer.
"My lord, please don't be angry. The prince will definitely build you other courtyards in the future."
Someone had indeed moved in. Jiang Yan's heart suddenly clenched uncontrollably.
"I think Pear Blossom Residence is quite nice." Jiang Yan glanced at "Hundred Flowers Garden" again and set off, but she was very curious about who had moved in.
Could it be that Shangguan Zeyu took Liu Ruyan into his fold to save his own life?
Who lives inside?
"......Yes, Your Majesty, it is Princess Xiao."
Jiang Yan stopped abruptly in astonishment: "Her?"
How could it be her? Last night, Shangguan Zeyu said with deep affection that he only loved her and that her actions with Xiao Yiqing were just a charade. How could it be like this now?
Huang Ying: "My lady, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I heard that the prince ordered the princess to move in last night."
Yesterday? Overnight?
Which of Shangguan Zeyu's words is true? Last night, he almost patted his chest and assured her that he didn't like Xiao Yiqing and that he had no feelings for her whatsoever. Yet, he turned around and let Xiao Yiqing move into Baihua Garden yesterday. Could it be any more obvious? Does he still dare to say that he and Xiao Yiqing have nothing going on?
Jiang Yan was so angry that her chest heaved, and she took heavy, large, and hurried steps.
Huang Ying hurriedly followed behind her, saying, "Master, please don't upset yourself."
"Why would I be angry? I'm not angry at all! Let whoever wants to live here, I don't care!"
After saying this, Jiang Yan suddenly realized that she was really angry, angry because of Shangguan Zeyu, that heartless man, and angrily cursed herself in her heart.
How can you be so fickle? Didn't you say you didn't love him and didn't care about him? Well, whoever he likes and whoever he wants to pamper, that's none of your business.
Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan, you must remember, always remember, your mission is to help Liu Ruyi seek justice and then find a way back to the modern world.
You don't have the time, nor should you have the mood, to indulge in romantic love!
Yes, don't get angry, don't be angry, don't care, it's none of your business...
Jiang Yan tried to calm herself down by hypnotizing herself, but before long, she saw a scene that made her eyes widen and her heart explode.
"Your Highness, I am so happy today. I really don't know what to say when Your Highness spends time with me amidst your busy schedule." Xiao Yiqing smiled sweetly as she looked at Shangguan Zeyu, her eyes sparkling as if filled with countless stars.
Undeniably, Xiao Yiqing is indeed very beautiful, easily surpassing the legendary "Four Beauties." Even Jiang Yan, a man, was mesmerized by her beauty, let alone Shangguan Zeyu, a young man.
"My beloved consort, I was too busy before and neglected you. It was my fault. I promise you, from now on, I will accompany you for a walk whenever I have time, is that alright?"
Shangguan Zeyu's voice was very soft and gentle, like a gentle breeze, making people unable to help but savor it.
Xiao Yiqing smiled shyly and took the opportunity to hug Shangguan Zeyu.
Shangguan Zeyu had his back to Jiang Yan, so Jiang Yan couldn't see his expression. But given the situation, it was obvious what his expression was.
Xiao Yiqing glanced at her smugly, then smiled shyly and whispered something in Shangguan Zeyu's ear.
Jiang Yan didn't want to see this infuriating scene again, so she left quickly without hesitation.
Having witnessed what had just happened, Huang Ying didn't know how to comfort her, so she just followed closely behind her.
They passed by Hundred Flowers Garden again and headed towards Pear Blossom Residence, but they ran into Wang Qianqian halfway there.
Judging from Wang Qianqian's smug look, she must have been waiting here on purpose.
"Consort Liu, why are you in such a hurry?"
Jiang Yan stopped, concealing the anger on her face, and said coldly, "What a coincidence, Madam Wang." She intended to walk past her and go back.
But Wang Qianqian deliberately blocked her way, laughing sarcastically: "What shocking scene did Consort Liu see? Why is your face all green?"
Jiang Yan sneered and looked at her: "Doesn't Madam Wang have anything to do all day? All she does is act as someone's lackey?"
Wang Qianqian wasn't angry at all. Instead, she laughed and said, "What are you saying, Consort Liu? I'm not just someone's lackey. I just saw Sister Wu myself. Consort Liu, you haven't forgotten about Sister Wu, have you? What a cold-hearted person you are!"
Jiang Yan hated Wang Qianqian; she had disliked her from the first moment she saw her. These past few days, Jiang Yan had been suppressing her disgust for her, but now, with Wang Qianqian deliberately provoking her anger and saying infuriating things, Jiang Yan could no longer hold back and started cursing.
"You bitch, what are you pretending for? I feel disgusted and my eyes hurt just looking at you!!"
Wang Qianqian probably didn't expect Jiang Yan to scold her like that, and she stood there stunned in disbelief.
"Wang Qianqian, you're a villain, a troublemaker! You've harmed Shen Qianqian, harmed Wu Lanyu, and spoken ill of others to Xiao Yiqing. You've made it impossible for everyone to live in peace, and we're all at risk of losing our lives at any moment! Wang Qianqian, are you even human? You're probably not even human!"
"You...you..."
"Stop pretending with me! You're a despicable person!! You've done so many evil things, schemed against so many people, and you can't even handle being scolded a couple of times? Is your heart made of tofu? I bet it's made of a rock from a latrine, stinking and hard!!"
Wang Qianqian didn't seem to be faking it; after being scolded by Jiang Yan, she was so angry that she looked like she could faint at any moment.
Jiang Yan glared at her fiercely: "Huang Ying, let's go! Staying with such a hypocritical villain for even a second longer would kill me!!!"
Jiang Yan walked past Wang Qianqian and continued back to Pear Blossom Residence, but after only a few steps, he heard Wang Qianqian say with a smile again.
"Do you know that His Highness intends to pardon Sister Wu and release her?"
Hmph, what's it to her?!
Jiang Yan didn't even pause for a moment and continued walking.
Wang Qianqian was at her wits' end with Jiang Yan, so angry that she gritted her teeth and kept stamping her feet on the spot.
Seeing that Jiang Yan's anger was getting worse, Huang Ying was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe loudly and obediently followed Jiang Yan back to Pear Blossom Residence.
As soon as Jiang Yan entered the room, she suppressed a low growl, but after a while, she suddenly realized that her reaction was wrong.
She's a college student in modern society. She's taken so many exams and solved so many math problems. Now that she's encountered a problem, is she going to bark like a mad dog?
She needs to calm down, analyze all the problems she's facing, and then find ways to solve them.
Jiang Yan tried to calm herself down, asked Huang Ying to make her a cup of tea, and slowly drank it while carefully recalling everything that had happened since she came to this Zhou Kingdom.
