Several bandits swarmed into the deserted alley, skillfully drugging the unsuspecting princess. They then rushed in, intending to search her body and rob her of her belongings.
Just then, Uncle Lin returned from running errands and passed by this place. Uncle Lin was kind-hearted, hated evil, and possessed an upright and incorruptible spirit.
Seeing this, he didn't hesitate, grabbed his sword and started fighting with the bandits. The bandits, realizing the situation was bad, scattered like birds and beasts, and two of them, who were quick on their feet, took off running.
Uncle Lin was determined to capture all the bandits and had no intention of letting them go. He couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly chased after the two fleeing men.
He was so focused on the chase and capturing the fugitives that he didn't even notice the appearance of the kidnapped people on the ground.
In that brief moment, Jiang Ling also strolled over. He was a shrewd and calculating man, and he recognized the woman on the ground as the Princess.
Seeing an opportunity, he rolled his eyes and pretended to save someone, then comfortably reaped the benefits.
When the princess slowly regained consciousness, she had already returned to the palace. The palace maids gathered around her bed, all talking at once, reporting that Jiang Ling had come to her rescue.
The princess had already developed some affection for Jiang Ling, and this time she was even more grateful. Her heart was now set on Jiang Ling, and she vowed to marry no one but him.
Because of this 'life-saving grace,' the late emperor approved the marriage.
As for Uncle Lin, after capturing the bandits and sending them to the county government, he was still worried about the injured person and rushed back to find them.
The alley was deserted by then, and he assumed that a kind passerby had taken the injured person to the clinic, so he didn't think much of it. He didn't mention it to anyone when he got home.
After that, he followed his maternal grandfather to the frontier to defend the country. This journey took them far and wide, and many details were left untold, unknown to anyone.
Qin Qianlu stared intently at the past scenes appearing on the light screen, her lips twitching uncontrollably. She felt utterly helpless; her uncle was just too naive and impulsive.
When rescuing people, they were so focused on chasing the criminals that they neglected the injured person. It's both laughable and pathetic.
When Ning Shuyao learned the truth, she was struck dumb, standing there in shock, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Her once fair face instantly lost all color, and her body trembled violently, like a withered leaf in the autumn wind.
It turns out that the life-saving grace he had always believed in was a complete scam.
All those years of enduring grievances and swallowing bitterness to repay a debt of gratitude have been in vain. Both his father and he himself were completely fooled by Jiang Ling, that shameless scoundrel.
She swayed, stumbled, and almost fell, but fortunately, the palace maid beside her caught her quickly.
Ning Shuyao bit her lower lip tightly until traces of blood seeped out. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, brimming with moisture, yet she stubbornly bit her lower lip, refusing to let the tears fall.
The thought that from the very first encounter, I had become a pawn in someone else's scheme, and that my sincere heart had been met with deception and exploitation, is unbearable.
Jiang Ling even blamed her for blocking her way without any remorse. Her heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand needles, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
The Emperor and the two princes were also shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief.
The two princes quickly moved to the princess's side, supporting her steadily on either side, their broad hands gently patting her back, offering silent comfort and support.
Upon hearing this secret, the court officials were indignant and began whispering amongst themselves, their faces filled with astonishment.
I originally thought Jiang Ling was a rare talent, but I never imagined he would be such a hypocritical and cunning person.
However, a few officials shook their heads secretly, muttering to themselves that it would be a pity to waste Jiang Ling's talent, and their faces showed regret.
Looking at his brother-in-law Lin Jincheng's simple-minded appearance on the screen, Qin Xiang shook his head repeatedly, his face full of disappointment and frustration.
Anyone who looks at Lin Jincheng will be intimidated by his tall and imposing figure and the fierce aura he exudes, after all, he has exceptional talent in martial arts.
He wielded a long spear with unparalleled skill, and his fame spread far and wide when he traveled the martial arts world. Even the most notorious outlaws would think twice before daring to challenge him.
But who would have thought that such a majestic figure would become a completely different person the moment he touched a book?
Those densely packed words seemed like a book written in heaven to him. No matter how much his teacher talked until his mouth was dry and his spittle flew everywhere, he still looked confused and seemed to understand but not quite.
His wife came up with many ideas for this, getting up before dawn every day to personally organize his books, select classic passages, and explain them word by word.
The maternal uncle spared no effort to invite renowned scholars from the capital to come and teach his son. He even gathered a room full of precious books, hoping that his son could absorb some scholarly air.
Seeing Lin Jincheng's appearance on the screen, Qin Xiang knew that most of his hard work had probably gone down the drain.
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Qin couldn't help but turn his head away, thinking to himself: With his stupidity in studying, it's no wonder he couldn't marry the Princess.
Look at Jiang Ling, so young yet quick-witted and eloquent, able to make people feel completely comfortable with just a few words.
Sweet words flow out like they're free; he's so good at manipulating people's hearts. Unlike him, who's not only bad at talking, but also usually a quiet, reserved person.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not so bad. It was precisely because of his brother-in-law's straightforward personality that he was so quick to propose to his wife, only to get a few beatings in return.
