Jiang Xuelin's marriage was never as simple as just one woman's marriage; in fact, it could be said that multiple forces were involved at the time.
No one wanted such a person to marry a prince, whether it was the third prince or anyone else. There were many people who wanted to marry her, but everyone knew why. Similarly, there were also many who didn't want her to marry.
So her coincidence in saving Fu Hanlai was just a prelude.
Since no one wanted Jiang Xuelin to marry the prince, Fu Hanlai's arrival was just in time.
The Third Prince's contribution was the greatest, but that doesn't mean the others didn't contribute.
Within just two or three days, news of her saving Fu Hanlai and their intimate encounter spread throughout the capital. There were more than one or two people behind this; her marriage had become a pawn in their power struggle.
This is also why Jiang Xuelin is now dragging Fu Han into causing trouble.
She wasn't sure who was involved in scheming against her marriage, but she knew it was the princes. Whether it was the initial rumors of her running away from the marriage or the subsequent clarifications, it wasn't just one or two people involved.
Jiang Xuelin isn't really stupid; she's not completely devoid of political acumen.
So now, she doesn't need to know who did it; she can just attack indiscriminately and wipe them all out.
Her tabloids targeted people who were considered unclean.
She doesn't make things up, but if something is tainted, she'll expose it all—doesn't she love using rumors? Then let's all have some fun together!
Regardless of who you are, the struggle for the throne has begun, though not yet obvious. Those who are upright and loyal to the emperor have not taken sides, so there are not many traitors to catch. The only traitors are those who are thinking of taking shortcuts. It is unlikely that neutral parties will be harmed.
If someone is accidentally injured... it's because they themselves are unclean.
In short... they're all going to die!!!
If it weren't for those people, I wouldn't have had to go through all this mess, and I wouldn't have had to marry Fu Han.
Fu Hanlai probably thought the same thing. Even if he just happened to be the one who disrupted Jiang Xuelin's marriage, since he had schemed against her, and this guy's temper was even worse than hers, how could he not retaliate?
Besides, this person is someone who enjoys watching the drama unfold.
If she weren't holding a grudge, how could she have agreed to Jiang Xuelin's suggestion so readily, and even come up with more terrible ideas?
Marriage is a major event in a woman's life, but now it has become a pawn in someone else's game. One can imagine how much resentment Jiang Xuelin has accumulated in her heart.
To be able to lead a group of people out to fight the enemy when the city was attacked by foreign tribes at the age of ten, and even make great contributions, requires courage that is twice as strong.
Although helping to clarify the rumors seemed like she was helping her, Jiang Xuelin knew very well that the person who helped was just a compensation for pushing this marriage through their own influence.
But does she need this compensation?
She doesn't need it!
Fu Hanlai is unnecessary!
They were both tricked by these people, so it's not unreasonable for them to retaliate, right?
Jiang Xuelin looked up and met Fu Hanlai's gaze, understanding the meaning in his eyes.
Even if she dislikes Fu Hanlai, the two can now be considered collaborators.
Lady Jing'an held a teacup in her hand, and the lid of the fine white jade teacup clinked together, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Lin'er."
"mother?"
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai exchanged a glance and then looked at Lady Jing'an, waiting for her to continue.
"Stay quiet in Prince Ping's residence and don't cause any trouble."
This is a warning.
Lady Jing'an was furious at being plotted against repeatedly, whether by the malicious Third Prince's faction or others. She was determined to find out who was behind it all and would write them all down.
But she was able to write it down carefully, waiting for the opportunity to talk about it later, while her daughter might not be able to!
Even if Lady Jing'an felt that Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai might be surprisingly well-matched, and that Fu Hanlai was indeed a good husband candidate, it couldn't change the fact that this marriage was a calculated scheme.
Based on the Lady of Jing'an's understanding of her daughter... she will definitely retaliate; she won't let this go so easily.
If they were at home, Lady Jing'an could still keep an eye on things to prevent Jiang Xuelin from making matters uncontrollable. But now that Jiang Xuelin has married into the Prince Ping's household, she can only give her a few words of advice and cannot keep an eye on her all the time.
I'm really worried and feel uneasy.
For the past month, Jiang Xuelin had remained quiet at the Prince Ping's residence, which made things quite peaceful. However, it was precisely because of this that Lady Jing'an became increasingly uneasy.
It's just that the Lady of Jing'an Marquis and the Princess Consort have been busy with outside affairs these days and haven't been in contact much. Otherwise, the two of them would definitely have a lot in common right now.
Princess Ping was also very uneasy!
The children are heartbroken over the debt.
Jiang Xuelin, of course, dared not refute anything, and could only nod repeatedly, "Mother, what kind of person do you think of your daughter? I have never caused any trouble, have I? I am just a woman, what can I do? Your doubts about me will hurt my feelings."
Lady Jing'an: "..."
Even though I received Jiang Xuelin's assurance, why do I still feel...?
She must be overthinking it, right?
Probably not.
She wouldn't be as carefree and convenient in the Prince Ping's residence as she was in the Marquis Jing'an's residence, so she probably wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
After thinking it over, Lady Jing'an was still a little uneasy, so she could only look at Fu Hanlai and say, "Young Master."
"Mother-in-law, you can just call me Ashou."
