Chapter 4 The original owner was truly blind.
Yan Cang turned around and stared at her intently: "How can you prove it?"
Chu Yunjin sat down on the stool at the table and thought carefully: "Pei Yi'an should be returning to the capital tomorrow. When he comes back, he will bring back a pregnant woman. He will say that this woman is his savior and will ask the princess to be more lenient with her."
Yan Jinyue sneered, "What utter nonsense! Pei Yi'an is the general with the greatest military achievements in our dynasty besides my brother, the emperor. He is a man of unwavering integrity and once swore never to betray me. How could he possibly bring back a pregnant woman? Besides, we are not yet married. If he really brings back a woman at this time, I would never agree to it!"
Chu Yunjin calmly asked, "If the prince were beaten with a cane today and seriously injured, while the Imperial Concubine is still in the Cold Palace, are you, as a helpless princess, sure you wouldn't agree?"
Yan Jinyue paused, "I..."
“The princess will agree,” Chu Yunjin said. “You are engaged to him, and Pei Yi’an will not take the initiative to break off the engagement. Princess, do you dare to take the initiative to do so?”
Yan Jinyue's expression changed slightly, and she stammered, "I...of course I dare."
But he clearly lacked confidence in saying that.
If it were in the past, when her mother was still a Noble Consort, she would certainly have dared to do so. But Pei Yi'an dared to betray her like this, and she would definitely make him pay.
But if her mother is banished to the Cold Palace, and her brother is seriously injured and bedridden, then... then she...
Yan Jinyue unconsciously clenched her hands, imagining what she should do if Pei Yi'an really brought back a woman in that situation.
During the silence between Yan Cang and Yan Jinyue.
Chu Yunjin pursed her lips and timidly looked at Yan Cang's face.
Honestly, even setting aside the stupid things the original owner did, just looking at Yan Cang's aloof demeanor and the ruthless aura he'd cultivated on the battlefield for years, very few people could remain calm in his presence.
Even though he looked haggard and tired, and even though his eyes were so lonely and blank, it did not diminish his imposing presence.
This is the spirit that only generals who have fought their way through the battlefield possess.
Therefore, Chu Yunjin didn't have the courage to openly look at him, but when she thought that this person was her husband, the one who forced her into marriage, who used all his patience on her, and who was unwilling to blame her even for the divorce, she really felt that such a man was hard to find in the world, one in a hundred years.
That's exactly how the story is written in the book.
When Yan Cang entered the palace to request a divorce, he was questioned by the emperor about the reason. He only said that he could no longer live with her and never mentioned anything bad about Chu Yunjin.
It was his decision to propose, and he also bore the burden of letting her go alone. His initial obsession and affection were tormented by the daily resistance and resentment of his beloved until he finally let go. I wonder if he ever regretted it, and how much of his feelings were left.
Chu Yunjin sighed inwardly, took the initiative to get up and walk in front of him, and said softly, "Husband."
Yan Cang was startled, pursed his lips, and looked up at her with unfathomable eyes.
Yan Jinyue narrowed her eyes and stared at Chu Yunjin with hostility.
Chu Yunjin ignored Yan Jinyue's gaze, only looking timidly at Yan Cang: "Actually... well, it's not that I don't like you. At first, I just didn't like being forced into marriage. But after I came back last night, I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. I started to regret accusing the Imperial Concubine in the palace. I was afraid you would be sad and upset. I belatedly realized that I... I had actually fallen in love with you long ago, Yan Cang. I really, really had fallen in love with you a long time ago..."
A man who is rich, handsome, powerful, influential, and loving is not only hard to find even with a lantern, but is a blessing that can only be earned through three lifetimes of good deeds. How could she not like him?
The original owner was truly blind.
Chu Yunjin sighed silently.
The original owner was not only blind, but also made a lot of messes, so she, who had transmigrated, could only slowly clean up her messes.
However, considering that she could take over such a perfect husband, she was willing to put in the effort to handle this mess.
Chu Yunjin tried to hold Yan Cang's hand.
Seeing that he didn't resist, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stroking his calloused palms from years of martial arts practice, and lowered her eyes to apologize sadly: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have forced the Prince to divorce me, and I shouldn't have caused him so much trouble. As the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, my actions not only hurt the Prince but also brought shame to my parents. If it weren't for your continued tolerance, I should have been divorced, flogged, and severely punished..."
She raised her head and looked at Yan Cang with pleading eyes: "Husband, please forgive me just this once? I will never be unreasonable again, and I will never ask for a divorce again. I promise to live a good life with the prince. Please believe me one more time, okay?"
Yan Cang's gaze fell on her hands.
She held onto his hand tightly, as if she were afraid of being abandoned.
Yan Cang looked up and silently gazed into her eyes.
Chu Yunjin's eyes were completely different from usual; they were filled with guilt, self-reproach, and timidity, like a little rabbit.
She seemed genuinely remorseful.
"Your Majesty, don't trust her so easily!" Yan Jinyue snapped out of her daze, her expression instantly turning cold, her face once again filled with wariness and hostility. "This woman is a liar; who knows if she's up to some other scheme or trick?"
