Chapter 450 What do you want?
General's Mansion.
Ever since Song Wan'er left Prince Rui's Mansion and returned here, she has been reading storybooks and eating delicious food every day. Everyone in the general's mansion treats her like a little ancestor.
Even the words that came out of Jiang Hao's poisonous mouth were not as irritating as before.
Song Wan'er knew that this was all because Prince Chang'an had returned to the capital and was about to succeed to the throne. Jiang Hao had been able to ask the old emperor for permission to marry her, and her brother and sister could ask the new emperor to issue a decree for her and Jiang Hao to divorce.
The imperial power is supreme, which can force her to marry and him to divorce.
But Song Wan'er felt that since Jiang Hao had been quite nice to her in the past few years, she didn't want to go to the ugly point of asking for a divorce.
So Song Wan'er discussed with Jiang Hao that they should write a divorce agreement in private and send it to the government to get it stamped, and then pretend that the marriage had never happened.
But as soon as she mentioned this, Jiang Hao turned and left.
After mentioning it twice, Jiang Hao remained silent and walked away very quickly.
I don't know why, but I suddenly came to her again today.
Jiang Hao didn't say anything either. He just sat with her in the yard and watched the cat and sparrows on the eaves.
The weather is very good today. The warm winter sun covers the courtyard, making people feel lazy when basking in the sun.
Song Wan'er ate some snacks and brought up the past again, asking him, "Are you reluctant to write the divorce agreement because you want money?"
Jiang Hao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Song Wan'er with complicated eyes. Sometimes he thought Song Wan'er was very smart, and sometimes he thought she was stupid.
He is smart when he shouldn't be smart, and stupid when he shouldn't be stupid.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if Song Wan'er was deliberately trying to anger him.
But Song Wan'er looked at him seriously and asked very naturally, "How much do you want? Just ask."
Although she could get away with not giving Jiang Hao money in her current situation, she felt that they were still husband and wife, so it would be best to part ways amicably.
She said to Jiang Hao, "You married me to leave a way out anyway. Now you opened the gates of Jiangyang City to welcome Prince Chang'an and the Xizhou Army, and captured Prince Rui alive, which is a great achievement. In the future, it will not be difficult for you to become a general with military power, let alone a title of nobility or prime minister."
Moreover, Huo Zheng is not the kind of ruthless monarch who would do as the saying goes, "When the birds are gone, the bow is hidden" once he ascends to a high position. As long as Jiang Hao does not have any second thoughts, he will definitely be valued.
Song Wan'er raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Hao. "You wanted power, and you already have it. You wanted money, and I'll give it to you. No need to bother calculating anymore."
Song Wan'er had a kind of innocence that came from being spoiled, so when she said this, her clear eyes like water could especially hurt Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao felt a strange feeling in his heart. He suppressed his emotions and met Song Wan'er's gaze. "Do you think I'm reluctant to divorce you because I want the Song family's money?"
"What else?" Song Wan'er asked instead of answering, "If you don't want money, then what do you want?"
"I--"
When the words came to his lips, Jiang Hao found it difficult to speak.
"You're not trying to say that you want my true love, are you?" Song Wan'er said immediately without waiting for Jiang Hao to answer, "That won't do."
She said, "You can be after my family's money, but you can never cheat on me."
The Song family has plenty of money, but her true heart is limited and can only be given to someone who is sincere to her.
Maybe Jiang Hao treats her differently than he treats others, but she and Jiang Hao have been full of calculations and deceptions since they first met, and even their marriage was forced.
After Song Wan'er knew Jiang Hao's past, she could understand what he did, but she could not accept that she would forget that she had been plotted against and forced, and be happily with him.
What's more, Song Wan'er prefers being Miss Song to being Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Hao looked at Song Wan'er with a complicated expression. It took him a long time to utter, "How do you know that I'm not sincere to you?"
"I'm not sure if you're sincere, so I've been trying to negotiate a divorce with you." Song Wan'er said, "If you were still as unruly as before, I would have gone to the King of Chang'an to ask for a divorce."
What she said made a lot of sense, and Jiang Hao was speechless for a moment.
Song Wan'er said, "But who said that if you are sincere to me, I have to accept it?"
Jiang Hao didn't expect Song Wan'er to say such a thing, and he was slightly stunned.
Song Wan'er said, "I'm beautiful and my family is rich. My brother is the richest man in the dynasty, and my sister will soon become the queen. As long as I want, I can choose any good man in the world. I can find any one I want. Why should I get entangled with you? I'm using my best years to gamble whether you are fake or sincere?"
Song Wan'er is not a plant or a stone. She can tell whether a person likes her or hates her.
But Jiang Hao is too complicated.
No one can see what he is thinking, and perhaps even he himself is not sure what surprising decisions he will make at certain moments.
Song Wan'er is too simple.
She lost her parents at a young age, but she had the best brother in the world.
Her brother acted like both a father and a mother to her, raising her like the apple of his eye. Even in the most difficult times when relatives and clansmen were eyeing the Song family's wealth, her brother never let her suffer any harm or worry.
Song Wan'er likes storybooks and yearns for the martial arts world because her life is extremely smooth. The only headache is probably that she has to marry him after receiving the imperial decree granting her marriage.
She was born delicate and was raised to be innocent. She could buy anything she wanted by spending money.
But people always say that a little happiness in life is better than everything else, but it is impossible for everything to go as planned.
What if her unhappiness lies in marriage?
Song Wan'er couldn't gamble her entire life and the Song family that her brother had painstakingly built up on Jiang Hao's sincerity.
Maybe Jiang Hao treats her differently now, but love is ever-changing. If you spend your life with a good person, even if the feelings fade in the future, he can still grow old with you because of his character and morals.
But Jiang Hao is a calculating person, and no one can guarantee how long he can like her.
Song Wan'er wasn't as naive as she looked. She was thinking clearly, and she said softly to Jiang Hao, "Whether it's a good or bad marriage, we're destined to be together. We can't be husband and wife, but being friends is fine. What's the old saying? Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship."
"Even if the deal goes wrong, is there still righteousness?"
Jiang Hao was so angry that his teeth were almost broken, but he couldn't do anything to Song Wan'er.
It was because he wanted to take the Song family's wealth that he approached Song Wan'er on purpose.
It's because he is so cruel and has a bad reputation.
Who made him like Song Wan'er!
Seeing Jiang Hao's expression was off, as if he was about to faint from anger, Song Wan'er quickly said, "You don't like this sentence? Then change it. Let's just say... enemies always meet again."
Enemies always meet!
Jiang Hao became even angrier and was about to speak when the guards outside came to report, "General, Madam, the head of the Song family is here."
