Chapter 105 Zhang Yumo's Confession Fails
Zhang Yumo's eyes reddened slightly, and she mustered her courage to ask, "Is the person Young Master Jiang in love with Princess Pianpian?"
Actually, she had heard it, but Jiang Jinyan's answer was ambiguous. Princess Pianpian liked Wushuang, so who did Young Master Jiang like?
She was even somewhat pleased that Jiang Jinyan and Sang Yupianpian weren't in that kind of relationship; it was just that outsiders didn't know the situation, and everyone thought Jiang Jinyan was going to get married.
Jiang Jinyan was stunned. "I didn't." He didn't really know how to answer. He had been away for almost two months, and Sang Yupianpian had been following him for those two months.
Because he had official duties to attend to and the matter concerned the secrets of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he rarely spent time with Sang Yu Pianpian, and Sang Yu Pianpian never questioned him about anything. The two were like friends traveling together.
Ignoring everything else, Zhang Yumo began to confess, "Since you don't have a woman you like yet, I wonder if you could give me a chance? When I was nine years old, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."
She didn't want to wait, nor did she want to miss out.
Jiang Jinyan looked at the dignified and gentle Zhang Yumo and said, "I'm sorry, you deserve a better man who truly cherishes and loves you, but I can't do that."
"Why?" Zhang Yumo's tears rolled down her cheeks instantly.
Jiang Jinyan also wanted to make things clear, not wanting to delay Zhang Yumo, "Actually, I already have a fiancée. She... she's in my hometown, and in my heart, she's the only wife I'll ever have."
Zhang Yumo nearly lost her balance upon hearing this. Her heart was pounding with excitement, and her eyes remained fixed on Jiang Jinyan. "You have a fiancée? Even if you don't like me, you don't need to make up such an excuse."
Jiang Jinyan said in a deep voice, "I'm not lying to you, I really do have a fiancée, so I can't marry you. I'm sorry." He didn't want to say anything more.
Zhang Yumo couldn't believe it. She thought: Why didn't Madam Jiang mention this? At least the Jiang family was willing to form a marriage alliance with the Zhang family. They never mentioned this matter. She thought he didn't have a woman he liked who could try to accept her, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
Her heart ached unbearably, and tears streamed down her face.
Meanwhile, inside, Jiang Fenghua overheard their conversation and felt anxious. What was wrong with her brother? Why didn't he say that the girl had already passed away? She tried to rush out but Xie Shang held her tightly, saying, "Ruan Ruan, don't go."
Xie Shang's chest was half-exposed and his clothes were disheveled. Jiang Fenghua had just taken off his soiled robes. She was only wearing a blouse and a bodice. She had a curvaceous figure, full breasts, and a slender waist. She looked extremely charming.
Xie Shang pinned her down, kissing her lips, neck, and even...
She felt nauseous, surrounded by the smell of alcohol. She pushed Xie Shang away, saying, "Your Highness, wait a moment, now is not the time."
She wanted to go out, but her clothes were disheveled. Didn't her older brother say he would find her some clothes? At this moment, Jiang Fenghua was filled with anxiety.
Xie Shang started tearing off her blouse and trousers again. Jiang Fenghua finally couldn't take it anymore and slapped Xie Shang across the face, making Xie Shang seem to wake up instantly.
The next moment, just when she thought she was about to be met with Xie Shang's fury, Xie Shang suddenly collapsed onto her chest and remained still.
Jiang Fenghua lay on the bed, feeling like crying but unable to. Was it true that a man with a low alcohol tolerance would vomit after drinking?
Even men with a high alcohol tolerance will vomit after drinking alcohol; she just doesn't understand.
Xie Shang always embarrassed himself in front of Jiang Fenghua. It's hard to tell whether he was lucky or just unlucky.
Outside, Zhang Yumo still clung to her fantasies, biting her lip and whispering in a barely audible voice, "I can be a mistress..."
She could only hear these words, but she was already blushing with shame. Thinking of Jiang Fenghua's words, she realized that she had truly trampled the Zhang family's reputation underfoot.
Jiang Jinyan was filled with guilt. When Zhang Yumo was sitting next to him just now, he was not unaware of her gaze, or even her fawning and obsequious behavior.
"Miss Zhang, I'm sorry." He couldn't let go, he couldn't forget her. If it weren't for him, Ying'er wouldn't be here...
Rejected by him, Zhang Yumo ran out crying. Jiang Jinyan felt powerless. He could handle everything, except his feelings. Since he couldn't give his heart to her, he shouldn't give her any hope.
Lin Yu stood by the door, staring at Jiang Jinyan. She felt that he was upright and pure, but a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. She had known since she was a child that people who fell in love with Jiang Jinyan would get hurt because he had a dead woman in his heart. Although she did not understand why he could not forget her, she was very happy to be remembered by a man for a lifetime.
Those who are dead are already free; it is the living who suffer forever.
These were secrets that Lin Yu discovered by chance, and she didn't even tell Jiang Fenghua.
She said, "Young master."
"Go and deliver some clean clothes to Ruan Ruan and Prince Heng." With that, he stepped out the door.
When Jiang Jinyan came out of Xiangya Pavilion, he didn't see Zhang Yumo. He assumed she had already gone home with the Zhang family's servants.
Just then, Sang Yupian ran back, "Jinyan, why are you all alone?"
Jiang Jinyan said, "Prince Heng is drunk, and Ruan Ruan is taking care of him."
"Where is Miss Zhang?" Sang Yupianpian asked.
Jiang Jinyan didn't think much of it. "She went home too."
Sang Yupianpian hugged his waist directly and asked, "Does Miss Zhang like you?"
Jiang Jinyan pushed her hand away, "Princess, please have some self-respect." Her closeness made him blush and his heart race; he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Sang Yupian didn't care whether he wanted to or not. She pushed him into a corner and kissed his lips directly. She was very proactive and almost frantically demanded his response.
Anger flared in Jiang Jinyan's eyes. "Sang Yupianpian, what are you doing?"
"I'll kiss you. I don't believe you have no feelings for me." Sang Yu Pianpian said confidently. "The person this princess has set her sights on can't escape. You're mine. I know you like me too, you just don't dare to admit it!"
"I didn't," Jiang Jinyan denied.
Sang Yupianpian added, "I can tell that Zhang Yumo likes you. She came here today because of you."
Jiang Jinyan did not deny it.
“She is a noble lady from the Duke’s mansion, of high status and talented, and quite a good match for you. You can marry her as your wife.” Sang Yu Pianpian said directly, “As for me, I can only have sex with you. I can’t guarantee that I will marry you as your wife, or I can be sure that I will never marry you in this life. So if you like her, then marry her! I have no objection.”
Jiang Jinyan stared at her coldly, "Are you crazy!"
After he finished speaking, he left. Sang Yupianpian called out to him, "Jiang Jinyan, I like you!"
Jiang Jinyan, still in a daze, continued walking forward.
At this moment, Jiang Fenghua chased after them and overheard Sang Yupianpian's confession.
She asked directly, "Does my older brother also like princesses?"
Sang Yupian smiled and said, "He'll like it, I promise."
Looking at the confident Sang Yupianpian, Jiang Fenghua suddenly felt that Zhang Yumo might not have a chance.
She asked, "Has the princess seen Sister Zhang?"
"No, I just happened to see Jin Yan coming out of the building when I came back, and then we... kissed. I can tell your brother likes me." Her face flushed, and she held Jiang Fenghua's hand. "I want to be your sister-in-law."
Only Jiang Fenghua knew that the charming and amorous Sang Yu Pianpian was lying; she would not be anyone's wife because she was the Empress of Chaoxi Kingdom.
My brother hurt Zhang Yumo's feelings. What if she does something drastic? I need to go find Zhang Yumo right away.
Lin Yu chased after her.
Jiang Fenghua said to her, "I still need to rush to the Zhang residence to see if Zhang Yumo has returned."
Lin Yu added, "Her maid is still eating and drinking in the building. She's probably drunk and didn't accompany her back to the mansion at all."
Jiang Fenghua was wary and worried. "Manager Lin, do you have any manpower to lend me?"
Lin Yu added, "Xiangya Pavilion has guards that can be lent to the Princess."
For Xiangya Pavilion to be able to operate on such a large scale in Shengjing City, it must have some real ability to gain a foothold. Soon, a dozen guards set out to search around Xiangya Pavilion.
Jiang Fenghua and Lin Yu led their people to search for Zhang Yumo by Baihua Lake. She was worried that Zhang Yumo might do something rash and jump into the lake.
Jiang Jinyan was also called back, and when he heard that Zhang Yumo had gone missing, he began to search for her everywhere.
