Jiang Ning said, âObviously, itâs his family elders who push him to advance and bring honor to their family. After all, heâs from a small family, unlike you, who is born of noble blood.â
Li Hongyuanâs voice was cool and refreshing: âYouâre good at lying, without blushing or missing a beat. Donât you think I donât know? Heâs been studying so hard to make decisions for himself because his family doesnât agree to marry a disabled orphan girl like you.â
Jiang Ning remained silent.
âIn the past, the He familyâs elders despised you and even tried to seek other women for He Tang. Donât you want to see the look on their faces when they find out your identity?â
âI donât want to see. After all, Iâm not as vulgar as you are.â
âAre you so heartless?â
âIâm not interested in unrelated people.â
âWhat token of love did you give He Tang? In the past, you were ambiguously close with He Tang, and then with Wenren Zong like this⦠This Prince really doesnât understand.â
Jiang Ning thought he would say something unpleasant, but after stewing for a moment, he uttered, âSince you can like them, why canât you like me?â
Jiang Ning looked at him.
He brought his face close to her eyes: âTake a look at me. Is it my status, appearance, talent, or martial arts that canât match theirs?â
Jiang Ning pushed his face away: âWhat about that princess? Hasnât she asked you why you want to marry a cripple when she is so beautiful, considerate, noble, and healthy?â
âYou marry me because I look like my mother, because my father is the Prime Minister, and because my uncle is the great general, right?â
âThat was before I knew you. After getting to know youâ¦â
âSo, whether I like it or not, it doesnât have much to do with appearance and family background.â
Li Hongyuan was silent for a moment, saying, âIn that case, other than status and appearance, there is nothing about me that you can like.â
âWhy dwell on such trivial matters?â Jiang Ning laughed, âYou know how you treated me before, donât you? Do you know how Wenren Zong and He Tang treated me? They never even raised their voices, always gentle and considerate to the extreme. Who wouldnât like such men?â
Li Hongyuan glanced at her: âThis prince understands. You get some rest.â
With that, he left.
He was quite decisive.
Jiang Ning returned to the table, picked up the pen, glanced at the paper, and put it down again.
The next day, Jiang Ning woke up late, and the sky outside was already bright.
In the warm spring season, the room was somehow even colder.
Huang Ying came in to help her dress, saying, âI just heard outside that both the Old Master and the Master have entered the palace. It seems that His Majesty has a decision regarding the Prince of Yu.â
Jiang Ningâs heart was slightly stirred.
âWhat else did you hear?â
âThis maid doesnât know anything else.â
âOh, Iâll ask later.â
At this time, Jiang Yi was not at home, he went to the palace to serve.
She had no one to ask.
She could only wait for them to return home.
After dressing and combing her hair, she sat in a wheelchair and went to Lin Ziziâs place to see the two children. Just as she reached out to pick up the little Princess, the stewardâs wife entered the room and said, âSeventh Miss, someone in the front yard wants to meet you.â
âWho is it?â
âHe said his last name is He.â
âOh, ask him to wait in the backyard for a while. Little girl, go to your grandmother.â
âHug.â Lingzi whined and clung to her, refusing to let go.
With Lingzi clinging to her, Jiang Ning simply carried her to the front yard..
