Grandma Jiang knew something was wrong.
How can someone be so affectionate? Ah Zi is so tactless. The atmosphere had just eased up, but Ah Zi had to pick on someone's sore spot. If it were her, she would be annoyed too.
As Grandma Jiang was trying to think of what to say to make amends, Prince Jing'an sneered, "Many people in this world are heartless. They only see that my daughter's innocence is gone, but they don't even consider why she did this!"
The deafening voice startled Mr. Xiao, who was appraising the painting, and also made Grandma Jiang tremble. She reached out and pulled Jiang Segu behind her, echoing the words of Prince Jing'an: "General Guo's righteous act is truly a blessing for the people of Northern Wei. Heaven will not let those who slander her behind her back get away with it!"
Prince Jing'an scoffed; he didn't believe it at all!
God is nothing!
If we rely on Heaven for everything, why don't we see those scoundrels in the court meet violent ends?
Thinking back to the day before, when he went to the Emperor to ask for a marriage decree, before he could even speak, the Emperor had already put him in a difficult position, saying that someone had impeached him for accumulating wealth in Ninghai!
Screw you!
There are countless bloodsuckers in the court. Not to mention others, even the old fox Duke of Zhenguo knew about the troop garrison in Luanping in Ninghai. There's no reason why the Emperor wouldn't know, yet instead of investigating, the Emperor is fixated on him.
However, they just didn't want to see him dominate the southeast, and they were trying every means to take back all of the Guo family's troops in Ninghai!
Pooh!
It's not that easy!
Guo Yong would never easily hand over the wealth he had earned through a lifetime of hard work!
However… His Majesty knows that he has feelings for that young girl from the Song family, and I'm afraid His Majesty will not easily let go of this opportunity to negotiate with him.
"Just a young girl..." That's what he initially thought, but every night he felt uneasy. He had tried other girls these past few days, but they were all terrified of him, trembling at the mere sight of him. They wouldn't even look at him, let alone do "that" with him!
In addition, Song Yurong's place was particularly tight, which he really couldn't forget!
That's why he personally went to look for the person yesterday.
He had planned that if the little girl cried, he would never think about her again.
Unexpectedly, when the young girl heard that the emperor wanted him to exchange his troops for the imperial decree of marriage, she threatened to kill herself!
Thinking of this, the image of that gentle yet strong face appeared in Prince Jing'an's mind.
"If Your Highness agrees to His Majesty's request, Rongniang would rather die than marry Your Highness!"
He originally thought Song Yurong was after his power, but the young girl said, "That is the glory that Your Highness has worked hard for half a lifetime to obtain. What am I? How can I let Your Highness give up all of that for me! If I harm Your Highness like this, Rongniang would rather die in front of Your Highness right now!"
Now, when Prince Jing'an thinks back to the scene of Song Yurong pulling out her hairpin and about to stab her neck, he feels a chill run down his spine!
Fortunately, he acted in time, and the hairpin only grazed the little girl's neck.
He felt indebted to the young girl, so he inquired about her preferences from her maid. He learned that she loved calligraphy and painting and had visited Zhenbaozhai a couple of days ago, where she took a liking to a phoenix painting.
However, this phoenix painting is a work from three hundred years ago, so it is quite expensive. The young girl is just a young lady from a respectable family, so where would she get the money?
Upon hearing this, he went to the Treasure Pavilion, bought the phoenix painting, and had it delivered to the Song residence.
Unexpectedly, the little girl had it returned, claiming it was a fake!
As a prince, this was the first time he had given something to a young maid, and Zhenbaozhai dared to make him lose face. Naturally, he couldn't let Zhenbaozhai off the hook!
Unaware of what the Prince of Jing'an was thinking, Jiang Segu stepped out from behind Jiang San's grandmother again and said, "The Prince is not one to care about what others say, and I imagine General Guo is no different!"
Moreover, not everyone is ungrateful; there are always people who remember General Guo's kindness, and everything General Guo did for the people of Northern Wei will be recorded in history.
Generations will know that there once was a woman, no less courageous than any man, who sacrificed herself for the people of Northern Wei!
Her voice was strong and powerful, with a hint of passion, and her eyes shone brightly, making one seem to be able to see the scenes she described in which people praised Guo Ting for sacrificing her life for righteousness.
Prince Jing'an's expression softened slightly, and he gave a light snort, "You're at least sensible," before asking, "Besides this, what else?"
After all, quite a few people knew about this matter, and it was because of this incident that he petitioned the Emperor to bestow honors upon Ting'er.
"There is another matter that happened recently. The prince was summoned to the capital, and Ninghai was handed over to General Guo. General Guo is a daughter. If she wants to win people's hearts, she doesn't need to see it with her own eyes to know how difficult it is!"
Since the Prince departed, so many days have passed, and there has been no news of any riots in Ninghai. This demonstrates General Guo's exceptional abilities; how can one not admire and respect such a woman!
Jiang Segu lowered her eyes again, "It's a pity I've never met General Guo. In my heart, I've long regarded her as an older sister. I thought that if I were lucky enough to meet her someday, and if General Guo didn't mind that I was a person with no ability, I would definitely become sworn sisters with her. In the future, if anyone dares to speak ill of Sister Guo, I will beat him up as her younger sister!"
As he spoke, he brandished his fist fiercely, but then, as if suddenly realizing that Prince Jing'an was still there, he withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly and said apologetically, "Your Highness, this junior did not mean to take advantage of you..."
The corners of Prince Jing'an's mouth curled up slightly. "You're quite an interesting little girl!"
The stern-faced Prince Jing'an did not frighten Jiang Segu, nor did his anger terrify her. However, his words intimidated her.
