"You can leave now."
Mu Xue then withdrew.
Hearing her cold "Prime Minister," Jiang Su sighed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I truly didn't expect Prince Jing to have such a predilection. Originally..."
Lin Qingwan's chest heaved heavily. "If it weren't for Consort Ning asking me to enter the palace, and if you hadn't been unable to handle Prince Jing, even if I died here, the Prime Minister wouldn't have given me a second glance."
Jiang Su looked at her intently, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
But Lin Qingwan would no longer believe him.
The reason she didn't angrily tear off his mask was because she wanted to leave herself some room to maneuver.
The thought that her biological father had painstakingly lured her step by step into the abyss with love and support was laughable. She even thought that God had taken pity on her and given her a way out.
Jiang Su saw the intense resentment in her expression and seemed very helpless. "I know you won't believe me no matter what I say."
"But you must return to the manor."
"Neither the merchant nor Guard Tong can protect you; you will only drag them down with you."
Jiang Su readily agreed, "Even if they are willing to give up everything for you, they cannot bear the crime of abducting the Prime Minister's daughter."
"Even if they have no family, they still have nine generations of relatives."
Lin Qingwan had expected this to happen, but hearing Jiang Su say it himself still made her clench her fists. "I don't plan to go with them."
She thought of the day Ruan Tinghuai said he had a conflict with Jiang Yanwan, and the wound on his arm.
Her eyes flickered. "There's someone else who wants me to leave."
Jiang Su was incredibly clever; how could he not understand Jiang Yanwan's tricks? But he pretended not to know.
"Good that you understand. Come back to the manor with me first, and we'll discuss the matter of going to the palace later."
Lin Qingwan took a deep breath and stared into the distance. "It's not impossible for me to go back, but I have a few conditions."
Jiang Su was surprised by her words, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Lin Qingwan composed herself, trying her best not to show any weakness during her confrontation with Jiang Su.
The Crown Prince's words that day made her think a lot, and she understood what she wanted and what she could do.
She has saved the Prime Minister's residence, and Jiang Su will not really abandon her. She has been refusing to go back because she is waiting for Madam Lin and Jiang Su to come in person.
Especially if Consort Ning wants to see him, Jiang Su will definitely have to bow his head.
She said calmly, "I want the Prime Minister's residence to acknowledge my status as the eldest legitimate daughter, and at the same time make it clear that Jiang Yanwan is only an adopted daughter."
“I don’t mind you exaggerating the Cheng family’s righteous deeds back then, I just want the results.”
Jiang Su frowned.
