Next, Jiang Ranli briefly talked about the grievances between her, Yin'er, and the Tenth Prince. As for Yinzhen, she only mentioned him briefly in a few words without going into details.
"Every time I think about those things, I feel very regretful. If I hadn't pretended to be ugly and fat to deceive him at the beginning, so many things wouldn't have happened later."
Listening to Jiang Ranli's words, Jiang Fan frowned, his eyes full of heartache.
"Li'er, listen to me. When you first came here three years ago, you were just a student who had not seen much of the world. You did not have much social experience, nor did you understand how treacherous people are. There was nothing wrong with what you did. The mistake was that history did not match the actual situation. You did not know that the Ninth Prince was not as recorded in history. So, do not feel guilty, do not feel burdened, you have done very well."
Jiang Fan patted Jiang Ranli's shoulder. He had never asked about her past, thinking that it was respect for her, but now, he regretted why he didn't ask earlier. In that way, he could have comforted her sooner.
"What I did was absolutely terrible. If it was really good, he wouldn't be controlled by others and his future would be almost ruined."
Thinking of how Yinzhen was controlled by the eldest prince three years ago, Jiang Ranli's heart, which was already wounded, ached even more.
When Jiang Fan saw this, his expression dimmed slightly and he clenched his hands.
He wanted to say that the Ninth Prince suffered a lot three years ago, but Jiang Ranli suffered no less than him. There was no right or wrong in the past, it was just that both of them wanted to protect each other too much.
Jiang Fan didn't say these words. He thought for a while and said, "Since you told me your story, I won't be stingy and tell you mine."
Jiang Fan didn't wait for Jiang Ranli to answer before he started talking, "You traveled here in the 44th year of the Kangxi Emperor, and I came here in the 39th year. So, although we are in the same modern time, strictly speaking, I arrived in this era five years earlier than you.
In modern times, I was an orphan, raised in an orphanage. After traveling through time, I had parents, but before I could be happy, they passed away one after another. I originally thought that I would be all alone in this Qing Dynasty, but I didn't expect to meet you. Moreover, we both have the surname Jiang. Li'er, do you think this is destiny? God took pity on me and gave me a sister?"
Jiang Ranli only knew that Jiang Fan was a casino master in modern times and that he was a designer, but she never knew his life experience. Now, when she heard him talk about it, she couldn't help but feel very distressed and sympathetic.
Seeing that Jiang Ranli's attention was diverted, Jiang Fan smiled and raised his hand to scratch her pretty nose, "Don't look at me like that. Don't I have a sister like you and a lovely daughter like Guoguo now? God has been kind to me. If it weren't for you, I would probably be all alone again."
"You can get married, why are you alone?" Jiang Ranli said.
After hearing this, Jiang Fan laughed and waved his hands, "No, I have lived in an orphanage since I was a child, and all I have seen is the dark side. I don't have any yearning for marriage, nor do I have the confidence to keep a marriage. So in order not to let my future children suffer and not to harm other girls, I'd better live alone. I'm used to freedom and don't like that kind of life."
After saying that, Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Ranli's attention was slightly diverted, and he was finally no longer in so much pain. Just now, he was always worried that something might happen to the person in front of him, but now he finally felt relieved.
