Whether Yan Gang's actions were genuine or not, and whether he had no other choice, is unclear.
Although Yun Hao said that Yan Gang was his man, Su Ruojin was still a little uneasy.
In this world, power is alluring. Some people start out steadfast, but eventually succumb to the pursuit of power, and quite a few gradually change their hearts.
"Please summon the prince consort. Yanluo, send Qinniang away."
"Yes, Miss."
There are some things she has to test the waters with.
Yan Gang didn't beat around the bush when he met Su Ruojin; he directly stated his purpose.
Su Ruojin looked at him, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "The prince consort is truly deeply devoted to the princess."
Yan Gang felt that Su Ruojin's gaze towards him was a bit strange, as if she were looking at someone she knew, and there was even a hint of resentment in it.
This was only his second meeting with the princess, and they weren't exactly familiar with each other. Why would the princess look at him like that?
But he still replied respectfully, "It is my duty, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Where does the responsibility lie?
The prince consort's words were quite interesting.
Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows slightly, stood up and said, "Since the Prince Consort has come all this way in person, I cannot refuse him. Please, Prince Consort."
"Thank you, Princess."
As Yan Gang and Su Ruojin walked out of the courtyard together, Granny Xie also woke up and, supported by her maid, limped over.
"This old servant greets the Prince Consort."
Yan Gang glanced at Granny Xie and said, "Granny Xie, I already know everything that happened at the Zhao residence. I will report the truth to the princess when I return to the residence."
Upon hearing this, Granny Xie's face changed drastically. She wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Yan Gang didn't give her a chance to explain and turned away.
Su Ruojin watched this scene thoughtfully.
After leaving the mansion, Yan Gang invited Su Ruojin into the carriage, and the carriage drove away.
In a corner not far away, Qin Niang was held tightly by Yan Luo, who also covered her mouth.
With tears streaming down her face, Qin Niang desperately tried to break free from Yan Luo's grasp, but she was no match for Yan Luo.
She could only watch helplessly as her husband, whom she had been searching for for so long, left her.
Yanlu went to look for Qinniang, but found that she was not there. She must have gone out to look for someone and had not yet returned.
To prevent Qin Niang from running into Yan Gang, Yan Luo waited for her on her way back to the mansion.
Sure enough, just as Yan Gang and Miss left the mansion, Qin Niang returned and saw everything.
When Qinniang finally saw her husband whom she had been searching for for so long, she couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to go up and acknowledge him, but Yanluo pulled her back.
After the carriage had gone far away, Yanluo dragged Qinniang back to the room.
“Sister Yanluo, he is my husband, my husband! Why won’t you let me acknowledge him?” Qinniang asked, crying.
Yanluo sighed and poured Qinniang a cup of tea. "Qinniang, do you know what Yan Gang's current status is?"
Qin Niang wasn't stupid. She had just noticed that Yan Gang's clothes were not something ordinary people could afford, and the jade pendant at his waist was extremely valuable.
Could it be that Xiang Gong has taken up a position in Yuncheng?
If that's the case, why doesn't he go back to pick her and the child up?
