"What does General Jiang mean by this?" Nan Jinchu didn't even open the booklet to take a look.
Jiang Shuyan still seemed extremely dejected, looking heartbroken, and slowly said, "I know that Your Highness and Wan... oh no, you and the Princess Consort are already married, so it's probably impossible for me to be with you. That's why I'm entrusting you with this record of Wan Ge's preferences and some things that have happened. I hope you can keep it safe and love her well."
Nan Jinchu immediately returned the booklet to the other party: "There's no need for that. The Prince's Mansion will take good care of Ge'er. As for her preferences, the maids she keeps by her side are her own people. She can just give orders for whatever she likes or wants. There's no need for the young general to worry."
Nan Jinchu knew that the other party was deliberately trying to annoy him again, and he wouldn't be so easily fooled. After speaking casually, he left with a single sentence: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. After all, my beloved wife is waiting for me at home. I'm sure the young general won't understand for the time being."
Jiang Shuyan watched the other person's departing figure, gritting his teeth in anger. Just then, a sentence suddenly flashed through his mind—something Wan Ge had told him when they were children: "It's okay. Even if Brother Shuyan loses his parents, he still has me. I will protect him and never let him get hurt."
It's a pity that the girl who said she would protect him is now married and will never protect him again. Of course, I can't be so sure. What if she is still willing to do something for him? It's hard to say.
They met once that day, and because the guards of the Chi residence were too dignified, he was unable to enter again, so they haven't seen each other since, except for that one glance at her wedding.
Therefore, Jiang Shuyan felt that he should at least go see her once, as there were too many things between them that hadn't been explained clearly.
…
As the festival approaches, the streets are filled with joy, and civil and military officials also enjoy a few days off for the holiday.
While Wan Ge was changing her clothes, one of her personal maids said with a smile, "Miss, someone has invited you to a gathering by Mingyue Lake."
"Who?" Wan Ge asked, somewhat puzzled.
The maidservant continued with that slightly mocking smile, replying, "You'll find out when you get there."
Seeing the other party's reaction, Wan Ge didn't think much and immediately assumed it was Nan Jin Chu.
It's not surprising, really. Although they share a bed every night after getting married, there are always times when they want to be alone together outside. So Wan Ge quickly got ready and went to the agreed location.
However, Wan Ge did not see Nan Jin Chu, but instead saw Jiang Shu Yan.
When she saw him, Wan Ge turned to leave, but he grabbed her hand.
"Wange, let me explain. Some things aren't what you think, so please don't distance yourself from me anymore, okay?" They hadn't spoken a proper word to each other since their last argument.
Especially now, the other party seems to care less and less about him, how can this be allowed? So he took the initiative.
He thought that since the other party was still willing to see her, their relationship could definitely be improved. He just didn't expect that the other party would leave as soon as she saw him.
Hmm? Is she playing hard to get? She did this on purpose to make me jealous.
Looking at him earnestly, Wan Ge said, "I'm sorry, young general, you should call me Princess."
“I know that marrying the Regent was not your wish. Now that you have married him, even if you come with me, it will be due to the poor management of the Prince’s residence, and no one else will know.”
“I’ve already married him, so he’s my husband. Why would I leave? We have nothing to do with each other anymore, so please don’t say things that could cause misunderstandings.”
Jiang Shuyan looked extremely sad: "But you don't love him, the person you love is me."
Seeing the other person like this, Wan Ge immediately withdrew her hand. The person who loved him was the original owner, not her: "I no longer love you. Now that I have married the prince, I am the prince's wife alone."
"Can you really let go of our relationship after all these years? We've loved each other for so many years."
Upon hearing what the other person said, Wan Ge laughed immediately: "Do you really love me?"
"What are you saying? If I didn't love you, why would I have eloped with you? Don't I know the consequences of eloping with you? But I'm not afraid because I only want to be with you. Isn't that proof enough?"
"But as I've said, I can't elope, and I need a stable life. I definitely can't live a life of exile. Just think of me as someone who's after wealth and status, and don't come looking for me again." After saying that, Wange left without caring what the other person wanted to do.
…
“Your Highness…” From a small building not far from where Jiang Shuyan was standing, Nan Jinchu had witnessed the entire scene just now.
But because they were too far apart, he couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. He only knew that on such a holiday, his wife had come out to see her former lover.
Nan Jinchu slammed his palm on the table, and the table shattered into pieces the next second. However, this did not seem to quell the anger of the person in front of him.
Nan Jinchu took a while to compose herself before slowly beginning to explain the important matters.
Still concerning the people in the north, he had discussed it with the emperor, and with their covert assistance, he believed that a great victory would be achieved soon.
…
When Wan Ge returned home, she looked at the maid who had come back with her and slowly said, "Qingzhi took her away and sold her off."
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately knelt on the ground: "Miss, spare me! Please don't sell me! I know I was wrong, I won't do it again. I just saw that you and the young general have liked each other for so many years, and I couldn't bear to see you break off your relationship like this."
