Chapter 692 Sincerity of Love
"On the wedding day, you said you would help me block the drinking, but you disappeared in the middle of the night and made me drunk and unconscious." Yun Ting pretended to complain.
"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry." Liu Jian smiled and bowed, "I was drunk and couldn't open my eyes. Luckily I found a place to sleep, otherwise I would have made a fool of myself in public."
He paused, then half-jokingly said, "Now that my second brother-in-law has gotten what he wanted, he will help me more in the future."
He looked normal, chatting and laughing, just like before.
Seeing this, Yun Ting breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though we knew that Liu Jian was pretending, it at least showed that he did not lose his mind because of the accident, lose his sense of proportion, or act recklessly.
"I wouldn't dare to do that. I'm henpecked." Yun Ting also said with a smile.
"That's not very kind of you. I also helped you block a lot of alcohol that day."
The two chatted for a while, and Yun Ting talked about his "purpose" for today.
He came to say goodbye.
He was going to Guangzhou Prefecture with Erya.
Liu Jian enviously said, "I'm also looking forward to having the opportunity to travel around the capital."
"Don't wait any longer. The empire has just been settled, and there are so many things to do." Yun Ting said, "I'm not out for fun either. The emperor has other instructions for me."
"I know a little about this matter," Liu Jian said. "My father, mother, and the Grand Tutor previously discussed coastal defense and the lifting of the maritime ban. I was present. If you encounter any difficulties, please send a message to me."
"Then I'm definitely not polite." Yun Ting said with a smile, "When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets married in the future, if I haven't returned to the capital yet, please remember to send me an invitation."
"Of course I have to send it. After all, I also gave you a gift when you and your second sister got married."
Yun Ting spat at him, "Don't move forward, who is your second sister?"
After chatting and laughing for a while, Yun Ting stood up and said goodbye.
Liu Jian personally escorted him to the door, being courteous and showing his deep affection.
But when he turned around and went back into the room, the warm smile on his face disappeared completely.
He knew Yun Ting's real purpose.
He must have guessed something about what happened that day, so he came to test me.
In the past few days, Liu Jian has guessed the whole story almost exactly.
The Duke's Mansion had long been cleaned up by Yun Ting, and that day was the wedding day he had been looking forward to for a long time, so he must have thought carefully and taken everything into consideration.
On a wedding day, that kind of thing is most likely to be used by the bride and groom.
Why did my sister appear in the Duke's Mansion?
Obviously it's going to Arya.
This was against the rules, so she had to hide her tracks when entering and leaving.
The dirty things must have been picked up from the new house.
My sister smells faintly of alcohol...
Yun Ting's visit today to test him further confirmed his guilty conscience.
Ba Liang stood quietly by the side with his hands hanging down, nervously watching his master's changing expressions, not daring to breathe.
He had served Liu Jian for many years and believed that he understood his master's temperament better than anyone else, but he still didn't dare to say the word "understand".
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good temper and treats you kindly - provided you don't offend him.
He seems to be indifferent to everything, but once he really takes things to heart, his obsession and ruthlessness are enough to scare people.
After a long while, Liu Jian spoke calmly, "Have you arranged everything?"
Ba Liang bowed quickly and said, "Your Highness, I have sent a letter by carrier pigeon, and everything has been arranged."
"I hope there are some capable ones among them."
Ba Liang almost buried his head in his chest, wishing he knew nothing.
The prince's thoughts are really unbelievable.
Ba Liang could understand his deep affection and persistence, but he couldn't comprehend how he could love her so deeply—even to the point of being willing to look for another man for her...
However, the prince himself took a similar medicine as Yun Ting did that day.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, how could Ba Liang, who served him closely, not notice the clues?
So he guessed.
"The scholar we arranged on the way..."
"Your Highness, it's the eunuch." Balian responded quickly.
"Yes." Liu Jian nodded slightly. "What are the instructions for the others?"
"Tell them to wait two months before approaching the Third Miss."
"Well done, go on down."
Ba Liang retreated quietly as if he had been pardoned.
Finally, he was the only one left in the hall.
Liu Jian walked to a seemingly ordinary treasure chest by the wall, his fingertips brushed over several carved patterns, and he pressed three hidden acupoints in succession. With a very light "click", a hidden drawer slid out quietly.
There was still a small agarwood box in it. He took off a silver key from his neck, inserted it into the imperceptible hole in the box, and turned it gently.
When the lid of the box was opened, a white handkerchief lay quietly inside. The material was soft, but the stitching was a bit rough, as if it still carried a hint of her unique and refreshing scent.
This was exactly what he took from San Ya on the day of their blind date.
He lightly stroked the silk surface with his fingertips, his eyes fixed for a long time.
"Sister..." Liu Jian raised the corner of his lips and put the handkerchief to his face, "I'm sorry."
I'm sorry that my love for you may cause you trouble.
I'll give you the life you want.
But you don't like others.
In ten years, at most ten years, he will definitely be able to be with his sister.
Sister, I'm sorry for intruding into your life.
But I'm really afraid that you will fall in love with someone else.
I promised great benefits to my people, so they dared not be sincere.
Ba Liang thought he was crazy, and probably if others knew, they would think so too.
But Liu Jian always knew what he wanted and didn't want to explain it to anyone.
He is out of tune with this world. He is the prince and has to take care of everything, but deep in his heart, he still has his own world and love.
He hates women who are timid and he likes his sister's sunny, beautiful and outspoken personality.
He loved watching his sister so heroic, so free to gallop, to bend her bow and draw her arrow—
Even before he understood love, he already knew who could make him happy from the bottom of his heart.
Love rises with the wind and ends nowhere.
Everything he did was the greatest sincerity he could give for this love.
——He was the one who fell in love first, so he should consider everything for his sister.
If the child had been left that night, my sister would have decided whether to stay or go.
Although he previously thought that as long as he didn't have children, it would be easier for him to get out in the future.
But then he thought again that the trouble he was afraid of should not affect his sister's decision on whether to have children.
So the decision is left to my sister.
But he has to make full preparations.
If his sister becomes pregnant and decides to stay, he must protect their child from conflict.
But they also need to ensure that their children can legitimately announce their names to the world in the future.
If my sister is not pregnant, or decides not to have children, then I will follow her wishes and be the freest goshawk in the northwest.
Liu Jian didn't know whether he would be able to get what he wanted in the future.
But if you try your best and stay true to your heart, there is nothing to regret.
Half a month later, Lu Qiniang received a letter from San Ya.
Xiao Yan came over to take a look inconspicuously.
In her letter, San Ya said that she rescued a scholar who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
The scholar is very poor and pitiful, and has a strong sense of self-esteem. His name is Xu Si. If he comes to you for help in the future, help him.
"No one comes here." Lu Qiniang said.
Xiao Yan said, "It may take some time. Let the doorman keep it in mind."
But later, no one came to the door, and the matter was forgotten. This is a story for later.
