Having spent over a decade in the political arena, Wei Yunting was well aware of the saying that the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it.
Those aristocratic families are greedy by nature and never satisfied; they're about to reach out to him.
If he continues to be busy training troops every day, they will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Being obsessed with women is a perfectly valid excuse.
However, he usually has no interest in romantic relationships, so his sudden immersion in them inevitably seems like a show.
Just when I was dozing off, someone brought me a pillow.
If he happens to rescue a woman, and she repays him with her body, and he becomes obsessed with her, then that would be perfectly reasonable.
After investigating the woman, Wei Yunting learned that she was a divorced woman.
Wei Yunting was able to uncover those deeply hidden secrets with a single investigation.
Infatuation with a divorced woman would actually be to his advantage.
The more absurd he is, the easier it is for them to be misled.
With a ready-made excuse and a suitable person presented to him, Wei Yunting was determined to get Jiang Tian.
That's when the terms for the exchange were proposed.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tian's expression changed instantly.
"Is Your Highness truly telling the truth?"
Wei Yunting nodded, staring at Jiang Tian.
She was just pretty, with delicate features, but her eyes were beautiful.
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
Jiang Tian asked again, "I wonder what it is about me that Your Highness sees in me?"
She was twenty-six years old and a divorced woman, usually avoided by everyone. How could she possibly attract the attention of a prince?
Seeing Jiang Tian's composure and calmness, Wei Yunting's eyes flashed with approval.
He would need her a lot in the future, and seeing that she was not a dull person, he revealed a few details about his true situation.
Upon hearing this, the resistance in Jiang Tian's eyes lessened considerably.
"Can Your Highness really help me punish Cui Zhiping?"
Wei Yunting nodded: "It's a small matter."
Jiang Tian seemed to have let go of a deep-seated obsession: "I am willing to serve the Prince."
Everything went as smoothly as he had planned.
Jiang Tian's understanding and tactful nature pleased Wei Yunting.
Seeing her pale face, which also revealed a sickly air, Wei Yunting said meaningfully, "The concubine I am looking for is no different from other concubines. What other concubines do, you must also do."
He had no intention of faking it with her.
Only the real thing is the safest.
Jiang Tian gripped the blanket tightly with her fingers and lowered her head slightly: "...I will obey Your Highness's orders."
Wei Yunting smiled, stood up, and said slowly, "Take good care of yourself."
Jiang Tian spent her days recuperating in the mansion, where her maidservants would occasionally reveal news from the outside world to her.
For example, Cui Zhiping frequented brothels, and the prostitutes spread rumors that he was impotent.
For example, he went gambling again, lost a lot of money, sold all the land and house in his family, leaving his family homeless and causing a great uproar.
For example, when the merchant saw that he was really useless, the agreed marriage arrangement was called off.
For example, he got drunk in the middle of the night, fell into a ditch, and because he was slow to move, he drowned.
…………
A month later, Wei Yunting heard that Jiang Tian's health had greatly improved, and finally stepped into the house again.
Jiang Tian had been carefully dressed up by her maids these past few days, making her even more beautiful.
Upon seeing him arrive, Jiang Tian bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Wei Yunting looked at it and saw that the rules were indeed learned well.
He stepped forward and helped Jiang Tian up, noticing her momentary stiffness, but remained expressionless.
"Are you aware of Cui Zhiping's matter?"
Jiang Tian's eyes were filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, for your great help."
"Don't you blame me for being ruthless?" Wei Yunting placed his large hand on her back and said in a deep voice.
“He deserved it; the prince was merely acting on behalf of Heaven.”
Wei Yunting finally smiled; he realized that this woman was quite to his liking.
Do you know why I have come here today?
Jiang Tian's voice trembled slightly: "Yes..."
"Then are you willing?" Wei Yunting asked immediately afterward.
Jiang Tian lowered her eyes: "Of course I'm willing..."
Wei Yunting laughed loudly, went back and carried her down, lifted the curtain and placed her on the bed.
Seeing her eyes slightly closed, her skin snow-white and translucent, as pure as jade, Wei Yunting's eyes deepened...
