Therefore, he developed a strong dependence on him and had a high degree of affection for him.
Having never been in a relationship before, she thought she could grow old with him in this world.
But the moment she saw him hesitate and weigh the pros and cons, she knew that this man wasn't worth her all. She might reconsider whether or not to proceed with the marriage.
In Jiang Chuluo's eyes, she might be very capable, and indeed she is very capable.
However, Ling Xiangyi still kept her true identity a secret from him.
The original owner's maternal grandfather was a renowned master of mechanical arts, and after his death, he left his mother many rare books. The original owner was in poor health, so she often read books at home, including the rare mechanical arts books left by her grandfather.
Therefore, it's not particularly suspicious that Jiang Chuluo, with such an identity, could manufacture guns and ammunition.
After all, at the height of his power, her maternal grandfather had created the most powerful crossbows for his soldiers, enabling them to win battles in the most difficult year.
It was Ling Xiangyi's father who led the army in the war. After returning victorious, he was ennobled and appointed prime minister. Out of gratitude, and also because he fell in love with his mother at first sight, his father married her.
The crossbows that my grandfather made back then also elevated his status, so when the two got married, everyone thought it was a match made in heaven.
However, after the great victory, fearing the emperor's suspicion, the Marquis's family voluntarily handed over their military power. Although the title was hereditary, without military power, their status gradually declined.
However, because of their act of handing over military power, their marquisate was protected for so many years.
When Ling Xiangyi transmigrated, he felt that the original owner's parents were very kind to him, and his father's former comrades were also very good to him. So after hearing what they said about the border war not going very smoothly, he decided to make modern firearms.
After she finished making it, she showed it to Jiang Chuluo, who praised it as being very good. At the time, she was very happy and excited, and did not notice the excitement in his eyes.
I just vaguely sensed that she seemed happier than usual whenever I was with her.
Ling Xiangyi didn't think much of it at the time, assuming it was because the more she got to know him, the more he liked her. Now she realizes that he actually valued her abilities.
I believe that with my abilities, I can bring him a better future.
Besides her specialized major, Ling Xiangyi also studied psychology specifically because of someone, so she could clearly see that person's expressions and reactions.
While the other party hesitated and weighed the pros and cons, Ling Xiangyi saw through everything and remained silent.
At that moment, although she felt that this man was not worth it, she also understood that in this world, she could not easily break off the engagement.
Therefore, if she is dissatisfied with him and wants to break off the engagement, the road ahead is long and arduous.
Moreover, now that things have turned out this way, the princess must really hate her. She needs to think carefully about whether to try to improve her relationship with the princess or simply be more cautious in the future.
Although she had little contact with the princess, she had heard about the princess's character and knew that the princess would not let her off so easily.
It seems unlikely that she can mend her relationship with the princess; she should probably think about how to avoid the princess in the future.
…
"Ah Qing, do you really believe that there are people who only marry one person in their entire lives?"
The maid shook her head: "I used to believe it, but I don't anymore."
"Why don't you believe it anymore? Have you seen too much of this before?"
The maid replied, "I heard my mother say how much my grandfather loved my wife, but he still took a concubine under pressure from the old woman. The former Grand Tutor, whose love was once praised by the world as unparalleled, was actually the one who was devoted to my wife for life. But it turns out that the former Grand Tutor had a mistress."
Moreover, he took exceptionally good care of his mistress, possessing some things that even the wife of Grand Tutor Qian did not have.
Moreover, Ah Qing witnessed that famous scene firsthand when she accompanied her mother shopping, so the shock and the way the Grand Tutor's wife broke down are still unforgettable for her. From that moment on, Ah Qing stopped believing it.
Ling Xiangyi replied, "The feeling of disappointment is even more painful. I can accept that he doesn't only like me, but I can't accept that he is affectionate in front of me but then gets entangled with other women."
Do you think Young Master Jiang would get entangled with the princess? Probably not.
“You can tell from his hesitation that he will definitely come into contact with the princess in the future, so we don’t need to have too high hopes for him. Let’s postpone the marriage as long as possible, anyway, my mother doesn’t want me to get married so early.”
Upon hearing this, Aqing spoke up again: "Of course, our young lady is now a high-ranking official of the third rank. What woman in the world can have such an honor? Young lady should cherish this hard-won power."
Ling Xiangyi reached out and pinched her cheek, replying, "Aqing, you understand me so well."
Ah Qing replied with a smile, "Of course, I promised Miss that I would do my best to help and I would definitely not hold Miss back."
…
As Wan Ge soaked in the bathtub, a noisy commotion arose outside the door.
So she simply left the bath and put her clothes back on.
After leaving the screen, a familiar woman appeared in front of her.
"Judging from your expression, Minister Jiang has clearly rejected you."
Princess Mingyue slammed her hand on the table: "Outrageous! Am I, a princess, inferior to a mere daughter of a marquis?"
Wan Ge glanced at her indifferently and replied, "Indeed, I can't compare."
After Wan Ge said those words, Princess Mingyue was clearly stunned for a moment. After realizing what she meant, she immediately burst into tears: "You... Your Majesty, how could you say that? Am I not your most beloved sister anymore?"
