“I…” Jiang Wanlan’s pupils widened in shock. “I, I didn’t say that.”
How did she know?
Jiang Wanlan found it very strange.
But what she found even stranger was that the woman kept asking her random questions for the rest of the time.
He looked like he had come specifically to chat with her.
As they talked more, Jiang Wanlan became wary. "Let me tell you, don't think that just because you've built a good relationship with me, I'll back off on my own."
"Impossible. I've known Tenth Master for so long, and I only want to marry him. I don't want anyone else but him."
"Oh?" Rong Shang raised an eyebrow. "Then may I ask, in the past ten years or so, how many times have you met with Tenth Master?"
"..." Jiang Wanlan hesitated, "No, not many."
It was probably only ten or twenty times.
On average, it only happens once a year.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wanlan seemed to feel somewhat aggrieved.
Rong Shang glanced at her, her amused smile deepening.
"So you two must have had a great time when you met?" She lowered her eyes, fiddling with the bracelet on her wrist, and continued with a smile, "Did he take you out to play or eat, or—"
"No, none of that." Recalling the past, Jiang Wanlan realized that she didn't seem to know Fu Beiyao that well either.
Her memories of Fu Beiyao were somewhat hazy. "Tenth Master was very busy, we didn't see each other very often, and..."
Thinking of something, Jiang Wanlan suddenly lowered her eyes with a hint of disappointment, "He doesn't talk to me much either."
Whether it's Fu Jingchen or Fu Beiyao, they have always been particularly cold towards people they don't like.
In the past, Jiang Wanlan's understanding of Fu Beiyao came from what she heard from others.
"Just like that, you've fallen for him?" Rong Shang raised an eyebrow, her tone somewhat surprised.
Faced with her questioning, Jiang Wanlan rolled her eyes at her in a slightly childish manner, "The feelings between us are very pure, not what you think."
"I see him very little, but I just like him."
Jiang Wanlan felt that Fu Beiyao was truly domineering and filial, and that he had made many sacrifices to protect the old lady at that time.
She saw it all and felt genuinely sorry for the man.
But Jiang Wanlan probably didn't know that at this moment, when she talked about Fu Beiyao, her eyes were full of infatuation.
Yes, aside from being infatuated, Rong Shang really couldn't see any love in him.
So she made an analogy: "If the Tenth Prince agreed to take you as a concubine, and then he neglected you, just to give you a status and allow you to see him from time to time as before, would you be willing?"
"Neglected?" Jiang Wanlan frowned. "What do you mean?"
“It’s just that…” Rong Shang smiled, “We are husband and wife in name only, but not in reality.”
Then… Jiang Wanlan frowned immediately, “What’s the difference between that and living like a widow?”
Um?
Rong Shang raised an eyebrow. "Don't you love him and want to marry him?"
"If that's the case, marrying him will give you more opportunities to see him in the future."
That's all.
Jiang Wanlan was clearly stunned.
All she ever thought about was marrying him and having children with him.
But he never considered that even if he took her as a concubine, there was still a possibility that she might live as a widow.
So she hesitated.
"Let me think about it some more," she suddenly changed her mind.
Rong Shang glanced at her and shook her head helplessly.
In her opinion, this girl didn't even know whether she liked Fu Beiyao or not.
