Is Jiang Jingjian completely obedient to her...?
It seems... almost, that's true.
but.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't like to hear it.
——I can’t tell you the specific reason, but Jiang Jingyuan was unhappy when he heard it.
This kind of talk is really, really annoying.
In the past, there were so many people who loved to say this kind of thing.
What about "The Patriarch loves you the most", "The Patriarch is completely obedient to you", "You have everything you want, the Patriarch is so good to you", "The Patriarch dotes on you too much"...
What's more, they say—
"The Patriarch is so good to you, how can you repay him in the future..."
"The more you pamper your child, the more ungrateful he or she will become. Hey, will you be grateful to the Patriarch in the future?"
At first, Jiang Yunshu didn't have any thoughts after hearing it.
Later, Jiang Yunshu listened to it and was subconsciously stunned for a moment, wondering, "Is that so?" Then he thought about it carefully and nodded, as if it was indeed the case.
But she still feels a little unhappy——
Not to the head of the family, but to the people who said this.
They looked at her.
She was envious and complicated, yet wanted to act normal. Her tone was filled with grief and her eyes contained a complexity and sharpness that she couldn't describe.
It was as if she had received some great gift from heaven.
Walking out from her own little world into the outside world, she instantly gained an extraordinary perception of the outside world.
These complex emotions, just approaching, were like the screaming ghosts of the abyss, covering her body and dragging her down.
Suffocation, suffocation.
It was as if a hemp rope was wrapped around the neck, suddenly tightening it, and I instantly bent over in pain, retching uncontrollably.
Hate.
Jiang Jingyuan glanced at the three people in front of him.
This kind of talk would make people unhappy, and might subtly affect the relationship between her and Jiang Jingjian, but...
People need to be clear-headed.
Whether Jiang Jingjian treats her well or not, she must know clearly and understand...
Those who say such things intentionally or unintentionally are irrelevant people.
She cannot blame someone who is good to her because of other people's unintentional or malicious words.
You must be clear in your mind about what is right and what is wrong.
To act because of a few words from others is like becoming a sword in the hands of others - it is a stupid and funny behavior.
Even the former head of the family had truly protected Jiang Yunshu for many years.
There is nothing to deny about this.
There are those who are good to her and those who are bad to her, and the two cannot be confused.
Jiang Jingyuan turned and left.
At the back, the three people who had been talking with great joy at the end saw this and stared blankly at the girl as she walked away.
They were a little confused for a moment.
Finally, the joy in their hearts dissipated, and the resentment of not being valued instantly surged in their hearts -
After all, she is a little princess who is pampered and praised by everyone, and she doesn't take them seriously at all!
It's just that they are lucky. How dare they be so arrogant in the northern border? They won't know how they will capsize in the ditch!
…………
"Why? Are you angry at their hypocritical faces?"
Xu Qinglin asked casually in a relaxed tone as he picked up a pen and drew something on the paper.
“……?”
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "They should do this, it's human nature."
This time Xu Qinglin was stunned.
The pen in her hand stopped for a moment before she continued writing on the paper. She chuckled and said casually:
"What did you see in the mirror of the past? How come you have such a profound enlightenment at such a young age?"
Xu Qinglin thought that even if she continued to live her life as usual, it would take at least ten years for her to achieve such a normal life.
Standing in the clouds, spotless and untainted, it doesn't show on your face, but naturally you can't help but feel a little displeased with these dirty things in your heart.
Jiang Jingyuan was surprised.
She knew, she understood, but even when she was full of resentment before, she had never been truly affected by these dirty things.
He is worldly-wise but not worldly-wise, walking in this world yet seeming to be wandering outside of it.
She is only fifteen years old...
Jiang Jingyuan had no reaction on his face when he heard this, and he walked slowly among the woods.
A sudden enlightenment?
No.
Ten years, actually only ten years.
Falling from the clouds into the quagmire, struggling and suffering, in the end his brain was a mess, his thoughts and behaviors were crazy.
But it doesn't matter, she just pushes herself.
——Time has passed and things have changed, but she is the only one who remains complacent. She cannot accept this, so she forces herself to be better.
In this new era and new life, don’t be influenced by the past.
It was as if a fog had been cleared away. Her heart was still wavering at first, but suddenly... very suddenly, in an instant, she understood a lot.
It's not a complete enlightenment, but I just understand a lot more.
It is a good thing to be able to understand what you must experience early in your life when you are young.
This is a blessing.
Jiang Jingyuan did not explain these to Xu Qinglin, but just said "hmm" calmly to show that he was listening.
Xu Qinglin paused for a moment, then sighed and said:
"You won't be unhappy if their kindness to you isn't genuine?"
Jiang Jingyuan: "...?"
Jiang Jingyuan's mouth twitched slightly, he suppressed a "Are you sane?", and said calmly:
"Won't."
Whether it's Jiang Yunshu or Jiang Jingyuan, there are countless people who care about her and show kindness to her. How many of them are really sincere?
To put it mildly, almost none.
They were all similar people and their ways of showing goodwill were all the same, so much so that she didn't even remember them.
"You're so weird..." Xu Qinglin sighed, "They said this with a smile, clearly convinced by me, yet they still claimed to be genuinely proud of you. Don't you really feel even a little bit dissatisfied?"
Jiang Jingyuan paused and asked, "So do you think it's good that they pretend so that no one can see?"
Xu Qinglin was silent for a moment, then said with deep agreement, "You're right."
Jiang Jingyuan hummed.
"You've never seen anyone who can really pretend." Jiang Jingyuan pouted slightly and thought to himself.
Xu Qinglin, you have been away from the world for too long and have forgotten so much.
Scenes seemed to flash before his eyes, and Jiang Jingyuan's expression returned to indifference, but his dark eyes dimmed again.
Who would have thought?
How could a person of such a prominent status be so humble?
But the reality is...
Only those who are neither able to go up nor down will be entangled in that pride. Those who can truly stand on the top of the mountain will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals and can be more humble than anyone else.
However, after just a moment, Jiang Jingyuan's heart suddenly opened up, and he felt relaxed and relieved again.
It is enough that the emotions you experience are real.
In the sunshine.
Jiang Jingyuan walked out of the woods, zigzagging around the town, heading in one direction with a clear goal.
——The people from the North can fight as they please, she wants to go and take a look at the Lian family.
Along the way, the people who kept boasting about their gratitude to her did not recognize her and passed her by.
The officials who were talking to each other suddenly saw her and were stunned and hurriedly tried to salute.
Jiang Jingyuan walked past them without even looking at them.
Several people turned around blankly and looked at her receding back.
a long time.
Several people's faces suddenly changed and they screamed:
"It's over, it's over. Walls have ears. She couldn't have heard everything, right?!"
However, the girl walked a long way away without changing her expression.
In his mind, Xu Qinglin sighed and said, "How dare you say this in the street? Are you angry or stupid..."
Jiang Jingyuan didn't react much, just said "hmm" as a response.
Anyway, the last thing she lacks is people who dare to be angry but not to speak out.
"It would be fine if I didn't see so many resources, but I saw so many, but only got so little." Xu Qinglin said with a smile, "Are you afraid that they will be angry and fight you to the death?"
Jiang Jingyuan laughed silently when he heard this.
Jiang Jingjian didn't give any instructions, just told her to do whatever she wanted.
The reason she was able to do this was that she had thought through the whole process.
"Grind them," Jiang Jingyuan said calmly. "It's always like that. Grind them until they can only obey orders and have no energy to think about anything else."
She was just following suit.
Feed them until they are only half full, but never let them eat more than half full.
These resources come in and out, so we can neither starve to death nor be full.
Xu Qinglin: "...I was overthinking it."
Jiang Jingyuan: "...?"
"Are you just here to watch the fun or are you worried about me? You know it yourself." Jiang Jingyuan muttered in his heart.
However, she just snorted lightly.
——Instead of thinking about other people’s conscience, it is better to think about your own conscience.
If you can't even trust yourself, how can you trust others?
funny.
The girl was wearing a light golden dress, which shone brightly in the sunlight.
She moved among the crowd with a graceful stride.
…………
I walked through two more streets, weaving among the crowd.
There was a person walking towards him, Jiang Jingyuan turned around and was about to go around him.
suddenly.
"Your Highness Jing Yuan."
As I walked past that person, a familiar voice called out to me.
Jiang Jingyuan paused, blinked, took two steps back in a daze, and looked up at the person in front of him.
——It was Jiang Jingqian who was indeed in the northern border, but whom I had not seen in these days.
He was dressed in white, standing in the bright and dazzling sunlight, his figure hazy.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded at him and was about to continue walking.
"Your Highness Jing Yuan, wait a minute."
Jiang Jingqian suddenly called her again.
Jiang Jingyuan really stopped obediently, looked up at him, with doubt in his eyes——
What's up?
Jiang Jingqian smiled and said softly, "I'll follow you wherever you want to go."
Huh? Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked:
"Why?"
However, as soon as she asked, she figured it out.
Jiang Jingyuan asked again as if to confirm:
"They asked you to follow me?"
Jiang Jingqian pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, and said nothing, but it meant that he agreed.
If he came to tell this to His Highness Jing Yuan, it would be like he was making a complaint - but making a complaint depends on the relationship between them.
Without sufficient friendship, making complaints will only make you appear incompetent.
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
The calmness on Jiang Jingyuan's face almost broke.
Her expression twisted slightly, and after a long moment, she managed to utter with difficulty, "No need to follow me."
Hearing this, the person in front of him immediately pursed his lips and smiled silently.
There was a hint of bitterness in the smile, as if... there was also a hint of grievance.
Jiang Jingyuan subconsciously took half a step back.
"It's still very dangerous outside." Jiang Jingqian lowered his head slightly and said softly, "I won't disturb you."
Jiang Jingyuan looked at him steadily.
Her face was indifferent, and she was thinking twistedly in her heart: "I'm going to the Lian family, can I take you with me?"
Jiang Jingqian faced her gaze without looking at her, but stood there stubbornly.
Jiang Jingyuan immediately knew that he could not go today.
She simply let it go and didn't embarrass him, and asked, "Do you know the snacks here?"
Jiang Jingqian heard this and instantly raised his head in joy, his eyes hazy yet sparkling as he said:
"Well, the tastes of the North are completely different from those of the capital. How about I take you to some mild snacks first?"
Jiang Jingyuan nodded.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen her, but today he ran into her. Even if she didn't let him follow her, he would have followed her secretly.
It’s better to play for a day first, and then go to Lian’s house quietly next time.
