Yan Heng remained silent.
If he truly despised her, why would he come to see her every night?
“If you despise me, you’ll have to wait another year to get the antidote. I advise you to slow down your process of despising me.”
Once she loses all fear, her words become sharp.
Yan Heng didn't want to continue this topic with her.
His mind was in turmoil.
He didn't want to see Jiang Tian die, because he had favored another woman, and Jiang Tian couldn't think straight... Yan Heng found it unbearable just to think about it.
He still couldn't figure out the jumbled thoughts in his mind, so he simply suppressed them all.
"I won't argue with you about baseless accusations. Now that we've come to this, I'll tell you: once you're under my control, you don't need to avoid anyone."
"If Xu Jingxiu knows, then he knows. He wouldn't dare do anything. And I certainly won't stop pampering you because of him."
As Yan Heng spoke, he pressed Jiang Tian's shoulders and kissed her all the way down her body.
"Even if you hadn't divorced him back then, I would still want you. What is he anyway..."
………………
The two had a fight that night, but were inseparable again during the day.
Yan Heng gradually figured out how to get along with Jiang Tian. As she said, she had experienced tremendous changes in the past few years and could not completely trust others.
It's understandable, considering what she's endured over the past few years; most people might never encounter such a thing in their entire lives.
For her, Yan Heng was naturally her support, but she was afraid of being abandoned by him.
After all, Jiang Tian only had him left. If even he abandoned her, she would have no will left to live.
I'm afraid she might really take her own life.
Yan Heng was horrified just thinking about it.
He even went to ask the imperial physician, who said that a mental illness requires a mental cure.
Jiang Tian had many thoughts on her mind. She always took things one step at a time, and only dared to take the next step after realizing that Yan Heng had no ill intentions towards her.
Therefore, when she has ulterior motives, what Yan Heng needs to do is to help her remove the obstacles in her mind in time.
In a sense, Yan Heng also became Jiang Tian's antidote.
To prevent Jiang Tian from overthinking, Yan Heng unconsciously spent more time with her.
Well, at least Yan Heng didn't find it annoying.
As the two spent more time together, Jiang Tian's clingy nature became apparent.
Yan Heng felt her need for him at all times, and the sense of satisfaction he felt was something he couldn't share with anyone else.
He thoroughly enjoyed Jiang Tian's attachment to him.
The two grew closer and closer, and Xu Jingxiu finally returned to the capital with his family.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xu Jingxiu had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome face, and an untamed air about him.
"Rise."
Yan Heng had nothing to say to this subordinate. He hadn't made any mistakes in guarding the border, so there was no need for him to blame him for other matters.
After exchanging a few words about official business, Xu Jingxiu gradually relaxed and brought up the matter of Xu Qingshu being appointed as the head of the township.
"I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's grace. However, my daughter is too dull-witted and I fear she will disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."
Yan Heng raised an eyebrow slightly: "What, you don't want your daughter to be granted the title of Township Head?"
Xu Jingxiu looked somewhat embarrassed, and he hesitated to speak.
There were only the two of them in the imperial study. Yan Heng immediately ordered, "Speak your mind."
Xu Jingxiu sighed deeply: "After I returned to the capital, my mother scolded me. My daughter has never been favored by my mother since she was a child, and now that she has been granted the title of village princess, my wife is also unhappy."
"Therefore, I thought that if Your Majesty wanted to reward me, you should withdraw your order and instead bestow favors upon my other children."
Yan Heng said calmly, "Don't you only have one daughter?"
Xu Jingxiu's face lit up with joy: "Your Majesty, my wife was recently diagnosed with pregnancy, and in a few months, I will have a new child."
