The princess is a flirt, and the prince loves her dearly
Chapter 18: One Sings and One Harmony Is for Her Good
She slept well that night, but when she woke up the next morning, Li couldn't wait to come and check on her.
Jiang Wan sat obediently on the embroidered stool, with a bowl of poisoned medicine on the table. Li and Jiang Mingwang sat at the top, their concern for her like a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest was really annoying.
"How is Wan'er?"
"Don't worry, grandma. I'm much better."
"That's good. I discussed it with your uncle yesterday and felt that since you have been away from home for so many days, it is not appropriate to spread the news. To protect your reputation, your aunt will come forward and help you suppress the matter on the pretext of going up the mountain to pray for blessings."
Jiang Wan heard this and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, grandma, for the arrangement."
I glanced at An inadvertently, and I could see the reluctance in her eyes.
Well, it's about taking the blame. The whole family chose her to be the scapegoat, which shows that they love her very much.
After a few random chats, they began to get to the point.
"Wan'er, tell grandma the truth, what do you think of King Chen?"
When Xiao Beichen was mentioned, Jiang Wan shuddered again. The three of them saw it and laughed in their hearts.
“Grandmother, King Chen is unattainable. He kills people without blinking an eye. Ever since I saw him killing people without mercy when I was little, I’ve been terrified that I’ll be the next soul killed by him.
He is so fierce and cold, I am so afraid of him. To be honest, I hope to marry someone who is gentle and understands me..."
"Hey, kid, do you know that if you marry him, you will become the Princess of Chen, and have endless wealth and splendor, and your status will be incomparable!"
Jiang Wan's eyes welled up with tears, and he stubbornly retorted: "You have to live to enjoy it. If you don't live to enjoy it, what's the point of having an empty reputation?"
Li sighed, and Jiang Mingwang nodded in agreement, "Wan'er is right. I think we have lived for decades, but we are not as clear-headed as a girl in the boudoir."
As he spoke, he acted like a kind father, "Mother, Wan'er is right. How can I enjoy life without a life? Please help Wan'er, mother.
This child was born in hardship. The eldest brother passed away early, and the eldest sister-in-law disappeared for many years. If we can't even protect the only flesh and blood of the eldest brother, our son will never see the eldest brother again after a hundred years!"
"Yes, mother, Wan'er has been obedient since she was young. Even if she doesn't want to, we can't force her. Wan'er is still so young and has plenty of time to enjoy. She can't lose her life so early..."
The three Li family members sang the same tune for her good, which almost made Jiang Wan unable to hold back and cheer loudly. Not going to sing opera would really ruin her thick skin.
The three of them felt that her silence touched her heart.
The play was almost over, and Li sighed again: "But it seems that King Chen wants to marry Wan'er, can we compete with a prince of another country?"
"No! I won't marry! I just won't marry!" Jiang Wan shouted anxiously.
"Oh, you really make things difficult for your grandmother."
Li was in a dilemma when An, the big shot, showed up. "Mother, in my opinion, the King of Chen wants to marry Wan'er, but he doesn't want to marry only Wan'er..."
The mother and son asked at the same time: "What do you mean?"
"Mother, Master, we don't have only Wan'er in our mansion. I think Yue'er is lively and a perfect match for King Chen. If Wan'er doesn't want to, Yue'er can help her out of this difficult time."
"How can this be possible? The one taken away by King Chen was Wan'er and Yue'er..."
“Mother, Prince Chen seldom returns to the capital, and he does not come into contact with many noble ladies in the capital. He must have done such a dissolute thing because he knew Wan’er.
If King Chen finds an opportunity to get to know other ladies and is impressed by their good qualities, he might release Wan'er. Mother also knows that even an upright man can be attracted by beauty."
After An finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Jiang Wan, "Wan'er, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying you're ugly. I'm just looking at things from a man's perspective and want to help you out of your predicament."
Jiang Wan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, aunt. I understand."
The mother and son knew very well that it was a deliberate trick played by An. She was just angry about being blamed and wanted to find a place to vent her anger.
If you want to send it, just send it. It won’t affect the progress of things.
Li hesitated again and again, and Jiang Mingwang thought again and again.
In the end, Li agreed to An's proposal with a look of sympathy for Jiang Wan.
He said, "Wan'er, in a few days there will be a birthday party for Prime Minister Chu's daughter. I'm sure your elder sister will be invited. Let your second sister go with your elder sister. Find a good time to contact King Chen in the next two days and ask him to meet you at the Prime Minister's residence."
Jiang Wan twisted her handkerchief nervously after hearing this, "But, but what if he goes and finds out it's not me? Will he be angry with me and blame me? Will he kill me?"
"Don't worry about that. Your second sister will be here and won't blame you."
Jiang Wan nodded, "Then I feel relieved."
"Alright, if King Chen sends you any news, remember to tell me. Do not go to see him privately, otherwise, if anything happens, grandma won't be able to do anything about it."
"Don't worry, grandma. I understand."
Their purpose was achieved, and they left, saying that they wanted to give her some peace and quiet so that she could think carefully about the contents of the letter.
The gate of the courtyard was still locked, and she became a bird in a cage.
Before he could pour out the medicine in his hand, Xiao Beichen showed up.
He took the medicine from her hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, "Is this the medicine that causes you to lose your energy every day?"
