Was she his beloved back then?
"Back then, your father said that the Jiang family could not be associated with any prince, so your mother took it upon herself to refuse him. Now it seems that it was your mother's fault."
Seeing the self-reproach in her mother's eyes, Jiang Chuwei smiled and said, "It's all fate, Mother, you don't need to blame yourself too much."
The general immediately replied, "If there is any fault to be found, it is mine. Over the years, I have been extremely cautious, precisely because I feared getting involved in court intrigues."

Jiang Chuwei hugged her nephew: "Yes, Auntie misses Shen'er."
"From now on, will you come back to see Shen'er often?"
"good!"
"Let's pinky swear, you can't go back on your word."
