Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingzi felt a chill run down her spine.
He dared not provoke Jiang Tian; if anything went wrong, he was afraid the Crown Prince would kick him out and force him to beg for food.
Looking at Jiang Tian, Xiao Lingzi forced a smile: "What does my wife want to ask?"
Jiang Tian didn't mince words and asked directly: "Tell me about your master's background. There's something inexplicable about why he wants to marry me."
Xiao Lingzi thought to himself, he had no idea what the Crown Prince was up to.
At first, Xiao Lingzi refused to mention Xiao Sheng's background.
Later, Jiang Tian resorted to both threats and inducements. If he didn't tell her, she would immediately go to Xiao Sheng to complain, so Xiao Lingzi had no choice but to give a general account.
"The young master's father only had one son. His father... was rather crazy and liked to cause trouble for the young master. When the young master was a child, even getting a full night's sleep was a luxury. Later, when others saw that the young master was good-for-nothing and had been spoiled, they bullied him even more. They didn't want him to keep the family property and wanted to divide up everything in his family."
"The young master's father is still alive for the time being, so no one dares to lay a hand on him, but the young master is in trouble."
Xiao Lingzi glanced at Jiang Tian and hesitated before saying, "Young Master has been assassinated several times. For profit, those beasts are willing to take any risks."
"If my wife marries into that family, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Lingzi admitted that he had crossed the line; how could a servant test his master?
But the Crown Prince was slow to understand, and once he did, he fell in love with a divorced woman. Although this woman was remarkable and not so bad, the Crown Prince needed a partner who could weather the storms with him.
If she was timid and cowardly, Xiao Lingzi thought that even if he gave his life, it would be a worthwhile death if it allowed the Crown Prince to see her true colors.
But to everyone's surprise, despite his description of Xiao Sheng's life as so terrifying, Jiang Tian's expression remained completely calm.
"Madam Jiang, you must think this through. Marrying the young master is no child's play."
Xiao Lingzi had unknowingly become bolder and gave another reminder.
Jiang Tian seemed to be pondering something. She nodded after hearing Xiao Lingzi's words, "I see."
Xiao Lingzi was confused: "So what?"
“Your master has a good background and looks, so I was a little hesitant when he suddenly asked to marry me. But now that I’ve heard what you said, I feel relieved.”
Xiao Lingzi was even more confused: "Don't worry... what?"
Jiang Tian seemed somewhat puzzled by his slowness: "Of course I'd feel at ease marrying him. If he were to be completely uncompromising and insist on marrying me, I'd always worry that he's a fraud."
"According to you, he's nothing but a desperado, who might be rich today and dead tomorrow. If he wants to marry me, I'm probably good enough for him."
Xiao Lingzi fell completely silent.
He couldn't understand the Crown Prince's actions, and he understood even less what this lady was saying.
What is she saying?
"Aren't you afraid, my lady, to be beheaded and go to see the King of Hell with your master?"
Jiang Tian smiled faintly: "If it weren't for your young master, I would be gone from this world long ago. What's there to be afraid of? He treats me sincerely, and I will treat him sincerely in return. I'm only afraid that he will deceive me, cheat me, and play with me."
……………………
"Did she really say that?"
"yes."
As soon as Xiao Sheng returned, Xiao Lingzi recounted his conversation with Jiang Tian verbatim.
Even if he didn't repeat it, the guards had to tell Xiao Sheng.
Xiao Sheng was exhausted after a long day, but upon hearing Jiang Tian's words, it was as if he had eaten a thousand-year-old ginseng, and all his fatigue vanished instantly.
Without even changing his clothes or using the ladder, he quickly used his light-footed skills to scale the wall and enter the neighboring yard.
He returned as the sun set, and there were few people around, so he wasn't worried about being discovered.
Just as Jiang Tian was about to splash water, she saw a handsome and tall young man standing in the courtyard. His eyes were bright and burning, and he was... grinning foolishly at her.
After a moment's reaction, Jiang Tian shoved him into the house, her voice filled with anxiety: "Why did you come over in broad daylight?"
Unable to contain his excitement, Xiao Sheng stretched out his long arm and pulled Jiang Tian into his embrace.
"This is not a joke, not a toy, I truly admire you..."
