The Prime Minister slammed his hand on the table, shattering it: "Outrageous! Of all people you could like, why would you like someone from Nanfeng Pavilion?"
Wan Ge lowered her head even further: "He was originally a musician at Nanfeng Palace. He doesn't entertain guests. Before, I discovered that the Crown Prince was having an affair with someone else. I... I was drunk. I ruined his reputation."
“He’s just a male prostitute at the Nanfeng Pavilion, what innocence could he possibly have? You’ve clearly been deceived by him.”
"No, no, no! No, he really is a musician. I have already verified this with the manager of Nanfeng Pavilion."
"Even so, he's a man, what innocence could he possibly have to ruin? It's clear he took advantage of you and deceived you."
At this moment, Jiang Wanqing also chimed in, "That's right, little sister, Father is right. He took advantage of you and even tried to deceive you. We can't have someone like that."
"No, brother, I took advantage of him when I was drunk. I... I want to take him as my son-in-law. Anyway, we want to refuse the Crown Prince, and he is a suitable candidate."
"No way! Don't even think about it. Take the young lady away and let her reflect on her actions. She is not allowed to leave the house until she has made up her mind."
Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, someone immediately took Wan Ge back to her room.
…
On the third day after Wan Ge was imprisoned, she was still thinking about how to send a message to Shen Zhao when suddenly there was a sound by the window.
When Wan Ge opened the window, she saw a person dressed in a black robe. Just as she was about to call out to them, the person looked up and revealed their face.
Shen Zhao's stunningly beautiful face was right in front of him, and Wan Ge's heart skipped a beat.
"Why are you here?" Wan Ge's eyes were filled with joy.
With the other person's help, Shen Zhao entered her room, looking at her with a hint of grievance: "I was waiting for news from you, Miss, but I never received any. So I sent someone to inquire about you, and that's when I found out you were imprisoned. It was I who implicated you."
"No, no, no, I was the one who ruined your reputation first, it's my responsibility. Don't worry, my parents have always loved me, they will agree."
Tears suddenly welled up in Shen Zhao's eyes. He wiped them away as he spoke, "Let it go. I am worlds apart from you, Miss. You should not marry someone like me. You should tell the Prime Minister that you have let me go and will never see me again. I'm sure the Prime Minister will forgive you."
"No! I like you. It's not just about wanting to be responsible for you; it's about liking you and wanting to be with you."
Wan Ge held onto his sleeve tightly, unwilling to let go. Just then, there was a noise at the door. Wan Ge quickly told the other person to hide behind the screen.
…
Soon Jiang Wanqing knocked on the door. When Wange opened the door and saw that it was her brother, she was a little surprised: "Brother, what brings you here?"
As Jiang Wanqing walked into the house, she said, "I heard you haven't been eating much these past few days, so I was worried and came to check on you. Were you talking to someone just now?"
Jiang Wanqing wanted to enter the imperial court, so he not only needed to be well-read, but also master the Six Arts of a Gentleman, as well as basic martial arts to strengthen his body. Therefore, he was skilled in martial arts and his hearing was extraordinary.
Just as I entered the courtyard, I thought I heard Wan Ge talking to someone.
"No...no, I was just talking to myself here by myself." Wan Ge quickly stopped the other person from looking for someone.
