"It was your initial words that made me so angry that I went along with what you said. Do you understand?" Wan Ge explained to the other party.
Jiang Zixi nodded obediently, feeling her heart pounding so fast, and her chest burning with heat.
"Remember what I told you. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't mind doing exactly what you say."
Jiang Zixi understood what he meant and quickly nodded: "No, I won't say that again."
If he still doesn't understand, then he's an idiot. But what if he just persuaded her to leave today? In any case, it's not a bad thing if she really leaves. After all, his wife pays too much attention to him. Even if she doesn't care now, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?
In the end, Wan Ge did not do anything else to Jiang Zixi. After the servant outside called him to the front hall, Wan Ge left.
…
Jiang Zixi quickly arrived at the front hall, where his mother was sitting.
Prime Minister Jiang looked at his son and sighed deeply: "Zixi, the Ministry of Revenue will be holding a talent selection soon. Now that you are of age, it is not easy to refuse. I suggest that you first get engaged to your cousin, avoid the talent selection, and then break off the engagement."
“Mother, I…” Jiang Zixi looked at her father, hesitating whether or not to speak.
Prime Minister Jiang seemed to understand his son's meaning and waved for the others to leave.
"Does Zixi already have someone she likes?" The fact that he's asking this now means he must have someone he likes, right?
Jiang Zixi nodded and said to her mother, "I like Prince Wan."
"Your Highness Wan? You mean Prince Wan!" The Prime Minister was shocked and immediately stood up.
Then, after taking a deep breath, she finally shook her head: "No! Zixi, although our power and His Highness's power have been completely stripped away, there are some things that cannot be shaken. We both know this, which is why we broke off the engagement so decisively. You can never be with His Highness Wan, do you understand?"
She informed them too early, and the late emperor had also arranged the marriage between the two children too early, which ultimately led to the situation where the engagement had to be dissolved.
This also made it seem like the other party was wholeheartedly devoted to his fiancée.
In fact, most men are like this. Even though they have never met their fiancée, they have the impression that they are going to marry her. So the person they think about is naturally her, and the person they like is naturally her.
Zixi was probably influenced by this as well, because she had a memory of marrying Wan Ge, and that's why she fell in love with her.
"But I really like her, please grant my request, Mother." Jiang Zixi knelt down on the ground, looking pitifully at her mother.
Prime Minister Jiang shook his head: "Mother cannot agree to this matter, but for now, it's best to avoid entering the palace. You should first get engaged to your cousin."
Originally, she only wanted to escape and didn't want her son to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but now Prime Minister Jiang actually wants his son to marry the other party.
Although no one from Jiang Zixi's cousin's family held positions in the imperial court, their scholarly background was still commensurate with their distinguished family background.
Moreover, even if he only has one son, the Empress is still wary of her. Only if her child truly marries someone who will never become an official will the Empress perhaps lower her guard and give them a way out.
