Sheng Jingyu retorted, "Did she have a choice? Did you have a choice? When you were in the Prime Minister's residence, you attempted suicide, and Wang threatened to beat you to death."
Sheng Jingyu's words revealed the cruel truth.
In truth, Su Wenyuan's overthinking was useless; besides this path, only death remained.
Sheng Jingyu continued, "Don't even mention you, I didn't have a choice back then either. I had to marry you whether I wanted to or not, and you had to marry me whether you wanted to or not."
What he wanted to express was their helplessness, to tell Su Wenyuan not to overthink it, that everything before was forced upon her, and that she had no choice but to become a princess.
There are more important things to do in the future. The injustice has not yet been redressed, and a memorial tablet has not been erected for the Marquis of Anle's family. Simply dwelling on these relationships will not solve the problem.
Su Wenyuan was already feeling down, but when she heard him say that she had to marry him even if she didn't want to, she got angry.
"Do you even know how to comfort people? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? You don't want to marry me? I'm gentle, beautiful, and generous. If you don't want to marry me, who do you want to marry?"
Seeing that she was angry, Sheng Jingyu was still a little confused, realizing that what she said was true.
And how come she only heard herself say she didn't want to get married? Why didn't she bring up the part about not wanting to get married?
Before Su Wenyuan could finish speaking, she slapped her thigh and angrily said, "Do you know that back then no one wanted to marry you? A blind prince with an unpredictable temper. In the end, I was the only one who came! I didn't mind that you were blind."
Sheng Jingyu pointed to himself in confusion and asked, "Am I unpredictable in my temper?"
Who is it! Just a moment ago they were looking dejected, and now they're hurling insults at him.
Sheng Jingyu felt that her emotions were incredibly stable.
Su Wenyuan, completely oblivious to her own shortcomings, nodded heavily and said, "Don't doubt it, it was you. Do you admit that you schemed against me and made me stay?"
If it weren't for those several boxes of dowry, Su Wenyuan would have run away on her wedding night.
"Yes!" Sheng Jingyu readily admitted, "But I haven't finished speaking yet. I was saying that back then, I didn't want to marry you, and you didn't want to marry me either."
"And now?" Su Wenyuan asked impatiently.
Sheng Jingyu smiled and said, "Where can I find such a gentle, beautiful and generous princess nowadays?"
Su Wenyuan knew perfectly well that Sheng Jingyu was just trying to coax her, but she loved hearing it!
Who doesn't love to hear compliments, regardless of whether they're true or not?
At the same time, she realized that she had been influenced by Empress Yuan today, which almost caused a major incident to be delayed.
Forget about the imperial edict; that's too far removed from reality. Her primary task now is to find the truth! Whether Marquis Anle will be a traitor in the future depends entirely on her!
Sheng Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her smile.
"By the way, next time you want to take action, just hit them directly. How much trouble could it cause?" Sheng Jingyu reassured her.
Why hesitate over such a trivial matter? Even if he were beaten to death, Sheng Jingyu would find a way to suppress it; not letting Su Wenyuan suffer is the most important thing.
Su Wenyuan said regretfully, "You should have said so earlier. Now that everyone has gone back, I can't exactly chase after them to the post station, can I?"
Sheng Jingyu comforted her, "It's alright, someone will do it for you."
Having just learned what they had said, Sheng Jingyu gave Ye Shan an important task: no matter what method they used, they had to beat up Empress Yuan, just like they did when they first attacked Jinkouhe.
Su Wenyuan's eyes lit up, wanting to hear him explain in detail, but suddenly she felt a little cold, so she pulled the quilt up.
Sheng Jingyu saw it and deliberately shivered.
Su Wenyuan then noticed that Sheng Jingyu had come in wearing only a single layer of clothing and had been standing in the room for a long time without even offering to sit down.
Feeling a pang of pity, she patted the bed, but before she could say anything, Sheng Jingyu had already gotten into bed.
As soon as she got close, Su Wenyuan felt a chill. It wasn't that cold yet, so Su Wenyuan didn't use a charcoal brazier or stove; a cotton quilt was enough.
But at night, the room can still get a bit chilly. Thick clothes are fine, but thin clothes will definitely make you cold.
Su Wenyuan frowned and said, "You're not feeling well, why don't you wear more clothes? If you're sick, Hua Ling will have more things to do, so can't you let him rest?"
Sheng Jingyu pulled the blanket over herself and said, "Because I don't have any new clothes to wear!"
His memory is surprisingly good... he still remembers this.
Su Wenyuan said helplessly, "It's been made, but your clothes are troublesome and have complicated patterns. How can you wear them if they're not made well? People will laugh at you, so it will take a little longer."
Sheng Jingyu looked at her with surprise. In the darkness, Su Wenyuan's eyes were bright, and the smile on her lips really gave off a gentle feeling.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I've been angry for two days." Sheng Jingyu moved closer to Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan accidentally touched his hand, which was as cold as ice.
"If you're angry, then wear more clothes. It's so cold, don't let the cold pass to me." Su Wenyuan complained, but still gave him more blankets.
Sheng Jingyu grinned, looking like a fool.
"I rushed here to comfort you, and also to remind you not to think about things you shouldn't."
Su Wenyuan rolled her eyes and said, "You don't know how to comfort people either. Besides, do I need you to remind me?"
Sheng Jingyu said, "I wouldn't dare not remind you, for fear you'd be angry. Let me add one more thing: your outfit today isn't as nice as your previous ones..."
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Sheng Jingyu is trying to get back up where she fell.
Su Wenyuan's face flushed red instantly, and she said angrily, "Shut up, if you don't want to stay, then get out."
"How can I not be angry if I don't go out?"
"cannot."
...
The two of them, wrapped in blankets, sat side by side on the bed, talking in hushed tones, neither of them able to sleep.
They didn't talk about anything serious, just some funny stories from the past.
As night fell, the two experienced a rare sense of leisure and tranquility that they had never felt before.
In her calm state, Su Wenyuan became even more determined to do what she was going to do.
After a long time, Su Wenyuan began to doze off, and Sheng Jingyu's voice became even softer until Su Wenyuan fell asleep, at which point he stopped.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Su Wenyuan opened her eyes and saw Sheng Jingyu smiling at her.
Su Wenyuan's mind went blank for a moment, then she remembered what happened last night.
"Isn't it shameful for the prince to climb through the window in the middle of the night?" Su Wenyuan didn't react excessively.
Sheng Jingyu laughed and said, "If this doesn't get out, I want to move back."
"Let's move." Su Wenyuan yawned and got out of bed. She was planning to go to the palace today, so she couldn't stay out too late.
Moreover, she also wanted to see Princess Heyi and others leave the capital to see if Empress Yuan had been beaten.
Before Sheng Jingyu could react, Su Wenyuan had already agreed?
Immediately afterwards, a maid came in and helped the two of them wash up and change their clothes.
After everything was packed up, Sheng Jingyu asked again, "Can...can I move now?"
Su Wenyuan found it somewhat amusing and said, "You can continue sleeping in the study if you want."
"No, no, no, I still prefer this bed!" Sheng Jingyu's joyful gaze pierced through the white gauze.
Su Wenyuan covered his eyes and said, "Be careful. You were so cautious around me, but why have you started to be careless these past few days?"
