"Ah Xiang, what I meant when I said I wasn't Liu Bei was that I wished I weren't Liu Bei, that there wouldn't be this marriage agreement, and that you wouldn't have been poisoned," Xiu said with a sorrowful expression.
"Unfortunately, I have no choice. I am Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande, son of Prince Jing of Zhongshan..."
"Oh dear, I didn't mean it," Sun Shangxiang said, seeing his anxious expression. "As long as our feelings for each other remain unchanged, I will always believe in you."
"So, if the conflict between your father and me... and Jiangdong reaches an irreconcilable point, would you still be willing to believe me?" Xiu asked.
Xiu was a little nervous. He knew the question was a bit much, but he still hoped to hear her answer.
Sun Shangxiang fell silent after hearing the question, and it took her a while to recover.
"Beibei, what made you presuppose this question?" Sun Shangxiang asked. "Why would such a day come?"
Xiu didn't know what to say. He couldn't imagine that Sun Jian was unaware of the situation, since Sun Jian had accepted Ye Siwu's identity.
That only means that Sun Jian already knew about the Iron Dimension and the Yehenara family's affairs.
"If that day ever comes, I will do everything in my power to mend your relationship," Sun Shangxiang said firmly.
"Ah Xiang, thank you for believing in me," Xiu said, somewhat moved.
The question can be simply summarized as: if her father and he both fell into the water at the same time, who would she choose to save? Although that's really unfair, at least she didn't immediately abandon him, right?
Ye Siti hasn't done anything too outrageous yet, which means there's still room for maneuver, and there might be a way to achieve both goals. Perhaps Ye Siti doesn't have to die; just being locked up would be fine.
Ye Siti: Thank you? You stole my precious daughter and now you want to lock me up!

Sun Jian received the routine report from the Eastern Han Dynasty. After opening it, his brows furrowed and his aura became terrifyingly low.
"Master, have some tea." Xiao Ci's nanny carefully placed the brewed tea on the table.
"Aunt Wu, once the eldest young master returns, have him come to the study immediately," Sun Jian instructed with a somber expression.
"Yes," Xiao Ci's wet nurse, now known as Aunt Wu, replied respectfully with her eyes lowered.
Before Wu Ma had even left the large study, Sun Jian had already dialed Xia Xiang's number.
"What are you doing? I'm busy." Xia Xiang's tone was extremely impatient.
Gan Zhaolie has woken up. Gan Zhaolie has run away. Gan Zhaolie has been caught. They are looking for him now!
"Siwu, how is Axiang?" Sun Jian asked in a deep voice.
The familiar voice startled Wu Ma, but she didn't show it on her face. She still lowered her head, closed the door, and slowly left.
Xia Xiang didn't answer immediately. Since he had called Siman, he couldn't possibly not know something.
Furthermore, if he cares about his beloved daughter, he could directly contact Sun Shangxiang. The most likely reason is that he knew Sun Shangxiang wouldn't tell the truth, which is why he contacted her.
Sun Jian waited quietly for her to speak, but he really didn't understand Xia Xiang and didn't know that she was very unpredictable.
"What's with that accusatory tone?!" Xia Xiang started arguing with him. "I'm your daughter's aunt, not her nanny. Why don't you ask her what she's like?"
Sun Jian felt he was crazy for calling Ye Siwu, but she started arguing the moment she opened her mouth, which annoyed him. She even said he should show more respect to his business partners—had she ever shown him any respect?
"Now you're not going to say you're a good aunt anymore?"
If she were in front of him, Sun Jian would really want to slap her.
"None of your business!" Xia Xiang said rudely. "I don't have time right now."
After saying that, he hung up on Siman. Sun Jian was furious, but the thought that the two women who were barely clinging to life were dead made him feel much better.
That guy named Sun Yi has also found some clues, and he'll be able to completely resolve this matter soon!
