Everything has been ruined by this family!
"What, did you, young master, act rashly for the sake of a beautiful woman back then, and now you feel that she is not as beautiful as she used to be? I suppose you and the young lady are newlyweds now. Oh, right, you must be resentful that I and your father did not forgive you sooner, causing you and your wife to be separated. It was my fault." Zhao Shu said casually.
Jiang Jingming was at a loss for words. Wasn't it all for a woman when he offended Prince Yong? If he were to deny it now, wouldn't that be considered murder? He wouldn't even have a last legitimate reason left.
If the Ningguo Marquis's family were to lose their title again, they would be finished. No, plotting against a prince of the current dynasty could result in the execution of the entire family. He was terrified.
The family originally planned to delay until things calmed down before finding another good marriage, but they didn't expect Zhao Shu to be so persistent.
For the first time, Jiang Jingming harbored resentment towards the woman in his family. "She's just a woman," he thought. "Why not just marry her, keep her around, and divorce her when things calm down? Then I can marry someone else, isn't that the same thing?"
Receiving no response for a long time, Zhao Shu's expression grew colder and colder. "Young Master Jiang."
"The family is still making preparations, and my mother's intention is not to wrong Qingge," Jiang Jingming said, forcing himself to speak.
Zhao Shu nodded, "I've heard that there's an auspicious day in July, and I hope you will get married as soon as possible."

Zhao Shu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the Empress Dowager and began to fawn over her, "Grandmother, Ah Jun will make you some soup later." The change in her demeanor was so swift that Jiang Jingming's face turned green.
However, nobody paid any attention to him.
"Ah Jun, when did you learn to make soup? How come I didn't know? No, no, I have to watch you make it later, otherwise who knows if you'll just pretend to comply." The Crown Prince immediately winked and made faces at the side.
Zhao Shu: "...Brother Crown Prince, you're the one who's outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant."
The two, flanking and bickering on either side of the Empress Dowager, entered Prince Yong's residence.
Prince Yong followed behind, his previously dull and cloudy eyes brightening considerably; he didn't care at all that his daughter wasn't ladylike.
Upon entering the Prince's Mansion, the servants could hear the Empress Dowager's hearty laughter from afar. Granny Zhong, leading Uncle Fu and Bi Qiao, along with a large entourage, hurriedly emerged from Sendai Courtyard.
Time was short, and when the gatekeeper came to inform them, they were unable to go to the gate to greet him, and they were extremely uneasy.
