Chapter 118 Rumors about Zhang Yumo's impurity begin
Jiang Jinyan was a little embarrassed. "Of course you can." Could he say no?
Zhang Yumo smiled, revealing two shallow dimples on her face, and her eyes instantly lit up like dazzling stars in the night.
She said, "After all, your injuries are because of me. Let me apply the medicine for you. Please don't refuse me, otherwise I will feel very guilty. I want to do something to make up for it. Is that okay?"
She stood there with such poise and politeness that it was impossible to find a reason to refuse.
Jiang Jinyan still wanted to say no.
Before he could speak, Zhang Yumo took the initiative to apply the medicine to him. He clenched his teeth in pain, and she could feel that he was in a lot of pain, so she lightened the pressure on his hands a little.
When Jiang Jinyan saw her beautiful face getting closer to him, he simply closed his eyes to avoid embarrassment.
This was the closest she had ever been to him. Her heart was racing and her cheeks were flushed, but she held her breath to keep herself from losing her composure.
Jiang Jinyan's eyelashes were long and thick, and his handsome face was covered in bruises. She felt a pang of heartache for him.
After the medicine was applied, Zhang Yumo's face turned red to her ears. She didn't dare to make a sound, afraid that he would find out her secret and she would have no reason to get close to him anymore.
As she leaned closer, Jiang Jinyan caught a whiff of the faint fragrance of orchids. His ears turned red without him noticing, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes to face her.
Only after Zhang Yumo had adjusted her mindset did she say, "The medicine is applied, I'm leaving."
Jiang Jinyan opened his eyes and saw her slender figure quickly leaving his dormitory. He thought, it seems that Zhang Yumo has really let go.
That's good, at least she won't waste her time on him and can pursue her own happiness.
After Zhang Yumo left, Sang Yupianpian slipped in again. Seeing his face flushed red to the roots of his neck, she laughed and said, "What a scene of a hero saving a beauty."
"Why is the princess here again? Wasn't she staying at the post station?" Jiang Jinyan had already sent her to the post station. The princess of Chaoxi Kingdom was a distinguished guest when she came to Da Zhou Kingdom. Now that the two countries were on good terms, even the emperor could not expel her. He could only let her have her fill of fun in Da Zhou Kingdom.
"If I, the princess, hadn't come, how would I have witnessed such a spectacular scene?" She felt a little sour and bitter. She had clearly said that she would travel the world before ascending the throne, enjoy all the fine wines and behold all the handsome men in the world. She was just looking at them, teasing them, and playing with them, treating it all as a game, because her status did not allow her to fall in love with any man.
However, seeing Jiang Jinyan blush because of another woman made her feel very uncomfortable.
Jiang Jinyan knew she was mocking him. "Princess, don't misunderstand. Miss Zhang is here to make things clear with me. She's not insisting on marrying me anymore, which means she won't like me anymore."
Sang Yupianpian just wanted to call him naive and stupid. "If you were half as smart as your sister, you wouldn't have been beaten like this for a woman. Saying you don't like Zhang Yumo is a joke to me." If you don't like her, why bother about her life or death?
Jiang Jinyan's eyes flashed with displeasure, too lazy to argue with her. "Ruan Ruan has always been the smartest and most clever one in our family. Thank you for praising my sister, Princess Pianpian."
Sang Yupian sat down next to him. "I feel like I've seen your sister somewhere before."
Jiang Jinyan remembered Xie Shang's instructions to him: not to let anyone know that Wushuang Gongzi was the Princess Consort of Heng, and to let this matter rest and never mention it again.
Since Prince Heng has said so, he certainly won't let his sister get caught up in trouble.
He said, "Hasn't the princess already met my sister many times before?"
“Not that time.” Sang Yupianpian personally hugged Jiang Jinyan’s waist. There was absolutely no waist as slender and exquisite as the person she saw on stage that night, unless it was a woman. That night she was wearing a mask, and when she finally took off the mask, it was Jiang Jinyan’s face. This face was also very beautiful, but it was not the peerless young master she had seen.
Jiang Jinyan assumed she already knew and remained silent until Sang Yupianpian said, "The princess is returning tomorrow, and I've come today to say goodbye."
She hugged his waist and buried her head in his broad shoulders. "This time, I'm actually a little reluctant to let go. What should I do?"
Jiang Jinyan knew she was a free-spirited woman. The pain in his body made him not want to move at all. Besides, this was his bedroom, so if anyone should leave, it should be her.
“Princess…” He tried to pull her hands away from his waist, “This isn’t right. I’m a man, and you are the princess of Chaoxi Kingdom. You should know better…”
Sang Yupian didn't care about whether it was good or bad; she just wanted to feel comfortable and carefree. She pushed him down onto the bed and covered his lips with hers, as if she had no sense of shame whatsoever.
Jiang Jinyan was furious. "I am not the peerless young master you admire, Princess. Please have some self-respect."
Sang Yupianpian was stunned. She couldn't tell whether she cared about Jiang Jinyan or Wushuang anymore.
The next day, the princess of Chaoxi Kingdom returned to her country. The emperor sent people from the Ministry of Rites to see her off. Of course, she only told Jiang Jinyan and didn't tell anyone else.
In the distance, she seemed to see the Zhang family's carriage coming to see her off. She didn't comment, lowered the carriage curtain, and lazily lay on the soft couch, pretending to doze off.
Last night she almost couldn't hold back, but thinking that she couldn't take responsibility for him, she slunk away from Jiang Jinyan's room.
Last night was also the last time she stayed at the Jiang residence. The days at the Jiang residence always felt peaceful and comfortable, without noise and complexity, only the sound of reading aloud.
She couldn't possibly stay in the Great Zhou Kingdom and get entangled with a man.
She is merely the Crown Princess of Chaoxi Kingdom, and the future of Chaoxi Kingdom needs her.
She thought: Jiang Jinyan is so badly injured, he probably won't come to see her off! It's better if he doesn't come.
Once the caravan had left the city gate and the crowds of onlookers had dispersed, the two carriages that had been parked at the city gate met.
Through the car window curtain, Zhang Yumo saw Jiang Jinyan's injured face and eager gaze.
She wondered: Does Jiang Jinyan like Princess Pianpian?
Zhang Yumo boarded the Jiang family's carriage and said, "It's time to change the medicine today, isn't it?"
"Why is Miss Zhang here too?" Jiang Jinyan said.
"Knowing that the princess is returning to her country, I came to see her off," Zhang Yumo said.
Jiang Jinyan nodded. "Let's say goodbye for now, since we're friends!"
The two spoke very little, chatting about trivial topics as if they were ordinary friends. Zhang Yumo was a knowledgeable girl, and the conversation between her and the equally knowledgeable Young Master Jiang was naturally not dull.
Meanwhile, rumors were flying everywhere outside about Zhang Yumo and Jiang Jinyan's shamelessness, and the words were quite nasty.
Zhang Yumo broke off the engagement with the Li family...
Young Master Jiang fought fiercely for the sake of his beloved, severely injuring Young Master Li...
Her body has already been slept with by the young master of the Jiang family!
Rumors are circulating that Young Master Jiang brought home a confidante, and Zhang Yumo only wanted to marry into the Li family to spite him, but in the end she broke off the engagement. It seems that the Zhang family and the Jiang family are making a fool of the Li family.
No one remembers why Li Cheng was seriously injured; they only accuse the brothel woman of deliberately seducing her. Even if it has been proven that the brothel woman did not intentionally seduce her, they will still try to smear her.
How terrifying it is to fabricate something out of nothing; some people are using public opinion to amplify this matter.
