The whole capital is buzzing with rumors that Wan Ge encountered bandits on her way to Jiangnan and is now in jeopardy of her innocence.
If the arranged marriage made him angry, then this matter absolutely infuriated him.
All of Jiang Jin's maids and guards had followed him, so it was impossible for anyone to come back and spread rumors. He had also eliminated all the thieves.
Therefore, this could only have been done in advance by someone. When those thieves wanted to make a move against Wan Ge, the news had already begun to spread.
If I hadn't arrived in time, things might have really turned out as these rumors have suggested.
The people in the Duke's mansion are truly ruthless!
"Go and investigate. I need solid evidence." He wanted to ensure that whoever did this would suffer the most.
"Yes, Your Highness," the guard replied obediently.
He knew in his heart that someone was about to suffer.
…
They arrived at the Duke's mansion. A guard hurriedly approached the young Duke and said, "The young lady is back."
Upon hearing this, Duke Chi paused slightly, then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Madam Chi, unable to remain seated, immediately stood up and asked, "Where?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard the person at the door say, "Daughter greets Father and Mother."
When Madam Chi saw her daughter return safely, tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed forward to hug Wan Ge tightly. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"However, it seems this trip to Jiangnan will not be possible. My daughter encountered bandits on the road, and it was only thanks to the Prince's help that she was able to avoid what might have happened."
"Was it the Prince who saved you? That's good!" She actually sensed that her daughter hadn't been defiled by bandits as rumored, but she wasn't sure, so she didn't dare ask.
Now that my daughter has said it herself, she's okay, that's good...that's good...
Looking at her parents, who seemed unaware of the bandits, Wan Ge breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they didn't really want her to die.
only…
"Does Mother know why the Prince has appeared?"
This question stumped Madam Chi.
"The prince asked me why I ran away from the wedding," Wan Ge continued.
"Does the Prince like you?" Although the young Duke was not very clever, he was not a fool after years of navigating the officialdom. If the Prince did not favor her, he would not know these things and would not have chased after her.
"Perhaps. I have met the prince twice, and he seems to have decided that I am his wife. I am also wondering why the prince is asking for my sister's hand in marriage."
Madam Chi's eyes were red, and tears fell one after another: "My daughter, I'm so sorry. Yue'er is in love with the prince and is willing to risk her life to force us. We have no choice."
“But I am also my mother’s daughter. How could my mother do this? Just because I grew up with my grandmother? But wasn’t it you who sent me to my grandmother’s side?” No one doesn’t long for their parents’ love. She was doing well with her grandmother. Although her grandmother was rather strict, she was very kind to her. But she always envied her younger sister for being able to stay with her parents.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" When she first heard that Wan Ge's innocence was in jeopardy, her first reaction was guilt. If she hadn't sent her daughter to Jiangnan, if she hadn't done those things, Wan Ge wouldn't have suffered like that. So when she heard the news, Madam Chi fainted.
