Because it was in the palace, Prince Ping didn't do anything to Fu Hanlai. He vented his anger and then stopped. However, even after leaving the palace, his eyes were filled with disappointment and disappointment when he looked at Fu Hanlai.
Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin didn't dare to say a word until they got into the carriage, at which point they felt a little better and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Hanlai didn't dare to speak up before because he was worried about attracting the attention of Prince Ping, while Jiang Xuelin didn't dare to speak up simply because she felt guilty.
They are genuinely guilty.
When only the two of them remained in the carriage, Jiang Xuelin spoke first, "I'll share half of the reward given by the Empress Dowager with you."
She brought it up herself, since these rewards were indeed earned by Fu Hanlai, and Jiang Xuelin would feel guilty if she kept them all. So why not share them in half when they met?
Fu Hanlai waved wearily, rejecting Jiang Xuelin's suggestion.
--ah.
He really sacrificed so much for this girl.
He hoped those things wouldn't get out. It was bad enough that he had lost face in front of his grandmother, father, and mother, but he really didn't want the news to spread that he had failed to elope and then falsely accused Jiang Xuelin of also eloping.
Most importantly, he didn't even make the latter one.
Why not?
"The things the Empress Dowager bestowed upon you are all suitable for a young lady's use. What would I do with them? Another day, I'll dress up with you, wearing the latest fashionable clothes in peach and willow colors, and the headdress bestowed upon us by the Empress Dowager. Then we'll go out together to right wrongs and fight for justice."
Fu Hanlai didn't want to speak. The things the Empress Dowager gave Jiang Xuelin, apart from the auspicious jade ruyi, were mostly jewelry and headwear, as well as the latest materials that only the palace would have.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
After thinking about it, I realized that Fu Hanlai was right.
"If you really feel sorry for my sacrifice, then don't take advantage of the fact that you're a girl and that I'm a man and can't hold it against you."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
It wasn't a big deal at first, and I was prepared to be polite, but then Fu Han said that...
"I'm only holding you back because I'm a girl and you're a man, and I can't argue with a woman like you?" Jiang Xuelin asked, resting her chin on her hand and nodding slightly.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
What's wrong? !
If you really want me to say it, is it because I can't beat you?!
Pooh!
I've wasted my time helping you!
The relaxed atmosphere in the carriage suddenly crumbled again, and the two remained completely ignoring each other until the carriage returned to the Prince Ping's residence.
When Princess Ping saw the two of them, she immediately felt a headache coming on and didn't want to look at them anymore. When Prince Ping saw this, he thought that Fu Han had come because of what happened in the palace, which made him unhappy. He was about to speak, but Princess Ping stopped him and then let them go back to their own courtyard.
You don't need to come over to pay your respects tonight.
It's annoying to look at.
They've only just gotten married, and she already finds the two of them incredibly annoying.
Moreover, the nanny also told her that after the two left, another nanny went to inquire and learned that the two had indeed not consummated their marriage... Oh well, there's no rush. Her son is clearly still clueless.
Princess Ping felt an urge to simply abandon everything that had happened recently.
What to do if your son is so restless? Send him off to get married; I've heard that he'll mature after marriage.
This is basically what every parent thinks, but Princess Ping now realizes that this statement may not be true. At least her son Ashou might not be able to do it, and he doesn't seem like he'll mature.
That night, Fu Hanlai slept on the floor as usual, while Jiang Xuelin slept on the bed.
The next day, Jiang Xue went to the main courtyard to pay her respects to Prince Ping and his wife. Afterward, she returned to the courtyard and sorted out her dowry, categorizing and organizing it all, and listing it in the dowry register.
Fu Hanlai didn't want to go out for the time being. Going out would definitely mean facing questions from his cronies, asking how it felt to marry his nemesis, whether he had been beaten up that night, and so on. He also didn't want to go to Prince Ping's place and get in his way, for fear of being beaten up. So he stayed here and watched Jiang Xuelin and her people working busily.
"...What is this?"
"Silver Dragon Nine-Section Whip".
Fu Hanlai paused for a moment, then pointed to another one, his hand trembling, "What about this one?"
Jiang Xuelin gave him a look that said, "Didn't you see it?" "The red-tasseled spear, its blade is made from black iron from the South China Sea. It is exceptionally sharp and can shatter anything with a single blow."
This gun is one of Jiang Xuelin's favorites.
Of course, she has quite a few other favorite things.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Then he saw a very familiar dagger.
That was a thank-you gift he sent to the Marquis of Jing'an's residence after he was rescued by Jiang Xuelin. Now, Jiang Xuelin also brought it back to the Prince of Ping's residence as part of his dowry.
Seeing that Fu Hanlai seemed curious, Jiang Xuelin also became interested. She handed over the other things she was doing to the maids and nannies and enthusiastically introduced the things she had brought to Fu Hanlai.
"See this sword? It was the beloved sword of a famous general from the previous dynasty. The patterns on it look elegant and exquisite, but they are actually blood grooves. Enemies wounded by this sword will bleed incessantly until they bleed to death."
"And this sword..."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Suddenly as quiet as a chicken.jpg
After talking for a while, Jiang Xuelin was still a little reluctant to stop. Seeing that Fu Hanlai remained silent, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Fu Hanlai: "..."
What should I say?
Why would the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion agree to let you bring these things to the Prince of Ping's mansion as part of your dowry?
Why are there these things that shouldn't be in your dowry?
Whose dowry includes a whole bunch of weapons?!
They are all weapons with extremely high destructive power, and they look terrifying!
You're getting married, not going to war!
Although marriage is another kind of battlefield for women, it really doesn't have to be done like this, it really doesn't have to be.
He can't do anything.
All his previous claims about locking her up in the Prince Ping's mansion after marriage, subjecting her to endless torment, while he and his concubines lived a carefree life were false.
It's all fake!
"Jiang Xuelin, why don't you save these things for the future? If it's a son, wouldn't they be just right?" You don't need to use them, do you?
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Do you know what nonsense you're spouting?
"Didn't we agree to divorce at the right time? Where did this child come from? Or do you want me to properly raise the child you had with your concubine?" As she spoke, Jiang Xuelin's eyes turned dangerous.
The servants who were tidying up stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Yes, I did say that.
But I'm worried that instead of a divorce, you'll lose your husband!
And... why did he feel so depressed listening to this girl talk about divorce so matter-of-factly?
"I did help you."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
Just as they were about to speak, Fu Hanlai's servant Kang Tai suddenly entered, his face grim, and told the two masters about the rumors circulating outside.
The news of Jiang Xuelin's elopement was spread by someone with ulterior motives.
