"You dare to come back?!"
Jiang Yan didn't understand why she got so angry as soon as she saw her, as if she had swallowed a bomb.
"sister......"
"I'm not your sister! I don't have a sister like you!! Yes, you're Consort Liu now, who else do you care about? You don't even respect Father and Mother, let alone someone as insignificant as me!!"
"How am I like what you say?" Jiang Yan still didn't understand why Liu Ruyan was targeting her, but since she had other matters to attend to at the Liu residence, she didn't want to argue with her at all. After saying this, she planned to continue walking inside.
But Liu Ruyan blocked him with both arms.
"What kind of attitude is this? Do you really think I'm afraid of you just because you're some concubine?" As she spoke, she even reached out and shoved Jiang Yan hard, causing Jiang Yan to stagger backward a good step.
Jiang Yan suddenly became furious: "Are you sick in the head? What's wrong with you?"
"You bitch! You always pretend to be weak and obedient, but you're full of evil intentions!"
Jiang Yan was in a real hurry and didn't want to argue with her. He glared at her and was about to continue on his way, but Liu Ruyan wouldn't let it go and kept blocking Jiang Yan's path.
Unable to reason with her, Jiang Yan glared at her angrily and asked, "What exactly do you want?!"
Liu Ruyan's face instantly darkened, as if she had been possessed.
She glared at Jiang Yan with hateful eyes, coldly saying, "You wretch!!! You said you'd make Prince Duan marry me, and what happened? What happened?! You still have the nerve to come back? You wait! I'm going to tell Father and Mother right now, and they'll stand up for me!!!"
After saying that, she angrily shoved Jiang Yan again and ran quickly back the way she came.
Jiang Yan was completely bewildered, utterly baffled.
Huang Ying then said, "Master, please be prepared. Your wife will definitely scold you in a moment."
"Why? Just because of Liu Ruyan's nonsense just now?"
Huang Ying: "Master, you must have forgotten that when we returned to the Liu residence earlier, the master and madam mentioned this matter to you."
"Which matter?"
Huang Ying sighed softly, walked up to Jiang Yan, and said, "That day, the Prince also returned with you..."
Jiang Yan didn't take the matter of Liu Ruyan climbing into Guan Zeyu's bed seriously at all, so even though Huang Ying had reminded her to this extent, she was still completely confused and bewildered.
Helpless, Huang Ying had no choice but to confess: "That day, the Second Miss and the Prince did that... you know, do you remember, Master?"
Jiang Yan stared blankly at Huang Ying for a while before suddenly realizing what was going on: "Oh! So that's what it is! No wonder. But what does this have to do with me? This is between her and Shangguan Zeyu. I didn't say anything sarcastic; I've already done enough by stopping them, haven't I?"
“Master, that’s what they say, but Master and Madam instructed you beforehand to do your best to persuade the Prince, so even if the Prince is unwilling, it will ultimately be your fault.”
"Hmph! Do you think I'm their servant? Have nothing better to do than meddle in their business all day?" Jiang Yan said angrily, getting up. "Whatever! It's their precious child getting married, and the parents aren't concerned. Whose fault is that? Why not find a good family for her? Why do she have to use her wits to cling to Guan Zeyu? Who can they blame for that? I'm not taking the blame for this!!"
Jiang Yan didn't take Liu Ruyan's matter seriously, and went directly to the lobby to find Liu Xiangyi.
Liu Xiangyi was indeed discussing matters with Chen Run, so as soon as she approached, she was stopped by seven or eight servants guarding the door.
"I need to go inside."
"Young Miss, the master has ordered that no one is allowed to approach."
"I really have something urgent to tell my father, please do me a favor."
"Young Miss, please don't make things difficult for us."
Seeing that they had no intention of letting her in, Jiang Yan stood at the door, glanced into the hall, and walked to the side.
"Master, why don't we rest in that pavilion over there for a while, and come back after Young Master Chen leaves?"
"No, that would defeat the purpose of my coming here."
Jiang Yan pondered for a while and decided to do as she thought. She went down the steps, walked a short distance away, and shouted into the hall at the top of her lungs.
"Father! Young Master Chen!!" He called out four or five times before stopping.
Liu Xiangyi heard Jiang Yan's ghostly screams, and Chen Run naturally heard them as well.
"Drag that noisy person out of here!!"
"Wait!" Chen Run suddenly stood up and hurriedly stopped him.
"What's wrong with Young Master Chen?"
Chen Run looked worried as he gazed outside: "Master Liu, this person is shouting and yelling, she must have something urgent to say. Why not let her in to talk and then we can discuss it further?"
"No need!" Liu Xiangyi was about to give an order, but Chen Run immediately stopped him. "Master Liu, let him in."
"this......"
“Master Liu, there are many rules in the Liu family, and the servants certainly dare not disobey. This person is in such a hurry, there must be something extremely urgent. Let’s give her a chance to come in and explain.”
Since Chen Run had made these three demands, it wouldn't be good if Liu Xiangyi insisted on opposing him. So he shouted outside, "Let her in!!!"
Jiang Yan was satisfied and happily ran inside.
"Miss Liu?!"
Before Jiang Yan could even look up at them, Chen Run's delighted voice reached her ears.
“…Young Master Chen?” Even though Jiang Yan knew Chen Run was inside, she was still quite surprised to hear his voice.
Liu Xiangyi was unaware that Jiang Yan and Chen Run knew each other. Upon hearing Chen Run's words, her expression suddenly turned strange, and she said, "Young Master Chen and my daughter... know each other?"
Chen Run looked at Liu Xiangyi. Jiang Yan also looked at him.
Chen Run: "To be honest, Mr. Liu, Miss Liu and I are old friends." After saying that, he smiled and looked at Jiang Yan, "Miss Liu is going back to her parents' home today. Why didn't you tell me yesterday? Well then, I will come back with Miss Liu today."
Jiang Yan felt that Chen Run's words were very ambiguous.
Liu Xiangyi smiled and said, "It must be because Young Master Chen often visits the Duan Prince's residence that he has seen my daughter before, right?"
Chen Run: "Master Liu, you are mistaken. I have never been to the Prince Duan's residence. I met your daughter before she married into the Prince's family."
Liu Xiangyi's face immediately darkened, and her eyes turned icy cold.
"Ruyi, how did you meet Young Master Chen? When did you meet him? Where did you meet him?"
If Liu Xiangyi had treated Liu Ruyi better before, Jiang Yan would have thought he was just a loving father who was angry because he was worried about his daughter. But considering how cold and heartless he had been to Liu Ruyi before, Jiang Yan guessed that he was actually criticizing her.
"Father, your daughter has lost her memory. Have you forgotten?"
Liu Xiangyi, however, seemed not to understand Jiang Yan's words and angrily slammed her hand on the table: "How dare you! Answer me honestly whatever I ask you!"
Jiang Yan couldn't help but sneer. She glanced at Chen Run, whose expression had already turned serious. Then she looked at him and said, "Father, I'm just answering your questions honestly. I inexplicably fell into the water at our Liu residence and inexplicably lost my memory. Have you forgotten?"
"You..." Liu Xiangyi truly disliked Jiang Yan, her face turning ashen with anger, her eyes practically spitting fire.
Seeing this, Chen Run interrupted him forcefully: "Mr. Liu, I think what Miss Liu said is true. Miss Liu doesn't need to make you angry over such a trivial matter. Besides, Mr. Liu, there are rumors circulating that your eldest daughter has lost her memory due to illness and her personality has changed drastically. Is that true?"
Liu Xiangyi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Chen Run looked at Jiang Yan, who was still sneering, with a gentle expression and said, "Ruyi, did you come to the Liu residence today because you had something to do?"
Jiang Yan withdrew the cold smile from her face, looked at him, and said, "Yes, otherwise why would I dare to come back so rashly?"
Liu Xiangyi was about to lose her temper again, and Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but curse in her heart, "What a waste of your face! It doesn't match your cold heart at all!"
"If you have any wishes, please speak freely."
Jiang Yan looked at him seriously, stared at him quietly for a long while, and then asked, "When are you going to arrest Shangguan Zeyu?"
Liu Xiangyi was shocked and stood up unconsciously, while Chen Run was much calmer.
"I won't lie to you, Ruyi, the day after tomorrow, Prince Su's troops will enter the city."
Jiang Yan was shocked, her heart skipped a beat. She gave an incredulous, bitter smile: "This...this...isn't this too fast?"
"This is the Emperor's will."
"Your Majesty... no matter what, he's still his brother..."
Before Chen Run could say anything, Liu Xiangyi was already furious and shouted, "How dare you!! The Emperor is the Emperor, how can you refer to him as 'him'?"
Jiang Yan had no time to pay attention to what he was saying. She swallowed hard a few times, then looked at Chen Run expectantly and said, "They won't be beheaded right away, will they?"
A fleeting pang of sadness crossed Chen Run's eyes, then he averted his gaze slightly and said, "Ruyi, this is the Emperor's will. Shangguan Zeyu should have already discerned the Emperor's intentions. As for other matters, those are matters of the monarch's whim, and as his subjects, we dare not presume to judge."
Jiang Yan was at a loss for words. Her mind was a jumbled mess, and she felt a pang of sadness.
Liu Xiangyi sneered, "He who brought this upon himself will not live! Who told him to be so arrogant in the first place? Did he think that just because he made military achievements, he could be above the emperor? Ha, below the emperor, there is no one above ten thousand."
Jiang Yan really didn't want to listen to him at all. As soon as she saw him with such a handsome face, saying nonsensical and superficial things, she regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself a few times. How could she have been deceived by his face before and thought that he was not a bad person at heart?
