Jiang Zixi cleared her throat, her gentle tone carrying a hint of reproach: "Don't be silly, this young lady saved me."
Upon hearing this, the servant quickly bowed to Wan Ge: "I see. Thank you for saving our young master, but please don't get so close. It's not good for our young master's reputation."
Wan Ge simply smiled and said, "Since someone is escorting you home, I will take my leave."
After saying that, he left without paying any attention to the servant's bewildered expression.
…
After Wan Ge had completely disappeared, the servant smiled and said, "Young master, wasn't I great just now?"
The point is to portray someone as unreasonable and argumentative, so as to highlight the gentleness and kindness of his young master.
Jiang Zixi watched Wan Ge's departing figure, her deep eyes holding an unreadable expression, an emotion others couldn't decipher: "Do you think she likes me?"
"Young Master is the number one young master in the capital, how could any woman not like you?" It's not like you can't show your face casually. As long as you show your face even a little bit, no woman will dislike you.
"However..." the servant asked again, somewhat puzzled, "Her Highness has already broken off the engagement with you, so why are you still trying to get close to her, young master?"
The two have already broken off their engagement, which means they will have no contact or relationship with each other afterward. Why is the young master still trying to get close to her?
Jiang Zixi gently placed her hand on her heart, feeling the intense surge of emotion it had just caused. She was certain of one thing: he liked her very much.
He was engaged to Prince Wan when he was three years old, and in his memory he would marry him sooner or later.
Unlike other young masters, he was not resentful of his fate. Besides, what did he have to be resentful of?
His Highness is of noble birth and exceptionally talented, and has been famous throughout the capital since a young age. Therefore, he is very much looking forward to meeting her and falling in love with her.
Unfortunately, the empress died young, and their marriage agreement was never fulfilled before a new empress ascended the throne.
After the new empress ascended to the throne, she found an excuse to cancel the marriage agreement between the two families.
Who would dare disobey the Empress's orders? When the imperial edict arrived, the family could only silently accept it.
They had never met, and he was not old enough to be of marriageable age, so it didn't matter that the engagement was called off.
In particular, the Prime Minister knew the Empress's personality and could see that his son marrying Princess Wan was not a good thing, so he was happy that the engagement was dissolved.
Jiang Zixi hadn't thought much of it before, until he grew older and began to experience romantic feelings, and then he remembered the person he was engaged to.
So he used his men to find out about Wan Ge and learned that she would pass through this road. He then arranged everything Wan Ge would see in advance.
When Jiang Zixi first learned that Wan Ge frequented brothels, she was stunned. But then she thought about it again. With such a noble status, and no suitable man in the capital to marry her, plus her youthful vigor, frequenting brothels wasn't a big deal.
After figuring things out, Jiang Zixi stopped worrying and decided to see her anyway. Little did she know that this one meeting would completely capture her heart.
…
Jiang Zixi did not answer the servant's question, but silently turned around and went home, with the guards following silently behind him. The guards his mother had arranged for him were always by his side.
