"I know." Of course he knew; how could he not know?
"But aren't you going to marry my sister?" Wan Ge was even more confused.
Jiang Jin looked at her bewildered eyes and her particularly sincere question.
So you didn't run away from your wedding?
“My mother said that if you marry my younger sister first, it will not be good for my reputation, so she told me to go to Jiangnan to hide for a while.”
At this moment, Jiang Jin understood everything. He hadn't expected the Duke's Mansion to be so bold, and his subordinate's certainty about eloping had enraged him so much that he didn't even have time to think it through.
"Great! Excellent! The Duke's mansion is truly wonderful."
Seeing his reaction, Wan Ge seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have.
"Your Highness, I..."
Jiang Jin held the person tightly in his arms: "You don't need to say anything. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you home."
Jiang Jin brought the people back to the inn. Apart from the injured guards and the unconscious maids and servants, the inn was cleaned up and there was no trace of blood left.
The guard was not surprised to see Wan Ge return safely. As the fight progressed, he discovered that his opponent's martial arts skills were not low, but it was not a difficult task for him. However, he still suffered several injuries.
Just when things were getting tense, a group of people rushed out and helped him deal with those people.
He recognized them as people from Prince Duan's residence. He didn't understand what Prince Duan was trying to do. Wasn't Prince Duan going to marry the second young lady? Why was he interfering in the eldest young lady's affairs?
However, he still had to thank them; otherwise, he didn't know how long the fight would have lasted.
After bandaging his wounds, the guard bowed and disappeared back into the night.
…
Jiang Jin carried the person back to the room. A guard brought over freshly cooked food, which Jiang Jin presented to Wan Ge.
“Your Highness…” Wan Ge hesitated, unsure of how to begin.
"Eat well and sleep well, and don't say anything else."
Wan Ge clearly knew that this matter wouldn't be resolved so easily. Thinking of what those people had said, Wan Ge didn't know what to say. He simply grabbed his sleeve and said, "I think Grandmother definitely doesn't know about this."
The bodyguards were sent by her grandmother, so if this matter involved her grandmother, the bodyguards would not help her.
But whether this matter has anything to do with her parents or not, Wan Ge doesn't know. She's in a terrible mood right now, and she definitely doesn't want to believe that this matter is related to her father and mother.
She knew that her parents favored her younger sister, even to the point of switching her engagement with her sister so that her sister could marry a prince.
But... would her parents really want to completely destroy her? Wan Ge didn't know; she didn't even dare to think about it.
She knew she wasn't close to her parents and understood that they loved her younger sister more, but she didn't want to face the fact that her parents truly didn't love her at all.
I felt a tightness in my chest. But I still clung to a sliver of hope that perhaps the bandit incident was just an accident, or that they were just making things up.
Her parents only wanted to arrange her marriage with her sister; that was all they wanted.
…
Jiang Jin patted her head and kissed her forehead: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, don't worry. I will also consider your parents' side for your sake."
But it's hard to say about her sister.
He didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Chi Wanyue; if it weren't related, the young duke wouldn't have done it.
