"But everyone says that the Regent is ruthless, violent, and capricious. If you cooperate with him, Miss, you might be jumping from one fire pit to another."
Wan Ge chuckled when she heard what she said. Looking at Xiao Ning in front of her, she said softly, "Knowing someone isn't just about hearing about them. Based on your observations of him these past two days, do you think he seems like that kind of person?"
Hearing what Wan Ge said, Xiao Ning was silent for a moment. These past two days, the other party seemed gentle and refined. Although she couldn't quite figure out what he was thinking, he didn't seem like the kind of person who was unpredictable, sinister, and violent.
But what if he's just used to this facade? He may seem harmless on the surface, but he's actually a very scary person.
Wan Ge patted her head to reassure her.
…
Over the next two weeks, rumors about the crown prince's preference for men intensified.
Wan Ge stayed in the temple every day, occasionally going outside with Qin Ji to enjoy the scenery.
Looking at their leisurely life, if Xiao Ning didn't know that the rumors about the Crown Prince in the capital were all from the two of them, she would almost think that the two people in front of her were indifferent to worldly affairs.
With help from others, Wan Ge's life became much easier. Moreover, with people arranged by Qin Ji to look after her father and brother, Wan Ge didn't have to worry about their safety.
Although I ate vegetarian food at Yunguang Temple, I was still quite happy.
Then an unexpected person appeared in front of her.
…
Looking at the woman before her, Wan Ge was somewhat puzzled: "Cousin, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the Crown Prince's residence right now?"
Shu Jiqing looked at her with a very complicated expression, but at this moment she seemed not to dare to anger her, so she softened her tone and said, "Some things have happened in the capital recently, and my cousin, the Crown Prince, asked me to invite my sister-in-law back."
When Shu Jiqing said this, there was actually a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see something different in Wan Ge's expression.
Wan Ge still looked innocent and confused: "What happened in the capital? Why did you have to come to me in person, cousin?"
Shu Jiqing hesitated for a long time before finally saying slowly, "Sister-in-law will know when we get back. This matter cannot be delayed. Sister-in-law, you should pack your things and come back with me as soon as possible!"
Wan Ge glanced at the sky and said, "But it's already late, and it looks like it's going to rain soon. It might not be a good idea to go back now."
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I've brought a lot of people with me, they'll definitely protect us. We really can't delay you any longer, you should come back with me quickly!" After saying that, she immediately instructed Xiao Ning to pack her things.
Xiao Ning was extremely nervous, her gaze fixed on Wan Ge as if waiting for her instructions.
Looking at Xiao Ning's worried face, Wan Ge nodded to her. After seeing her young mistress nod, Xiao Ning went into their room and quickly packed her luggage.
Xiao Ning really wanted to ask if they were just leaving like that? Didn't they need to tell the Prince? But given the current situation, she couldn't say such a thing. So, she wisely kept quiet and just stayed silently by Wan Ge's side.
…
As they were leaving Yunguang Temple, in a pavilion on the mountain, a man stood behind a handsome man dressed in lake blue.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort... oh no, Miss Jiang has already left. Should I secretly protect her?"
