The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

When Jiang Yu heard this, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, and his breathing became heavy.

She was about to refuse when she saw Lin Wanqing hurriedly walk in from outside.

"Your Highness, you may not know that Jiang Yu..."

She slowly approached, looking directly at the prince, "She already has someone in her heart, and their love is so deep that she won't tolerate outsiders interfering."

Upon hearing this, the prince frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his superior dignity.

"Oh? Is that true? Then why not have her beloved come here to propose marriage, so that I can see who is truly capable of winning the heart of Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yu felt mixed emotions when she heard this, and she looked at Lin Wanqing.

Lin Wanqing was protecting her in her own way, but how could she implicate innocent people?

"Your Highness, I do have someone I love."

Jiang Yu mustered up his courage, his voice soft but firm.

"But the man I love is not one of the highest rank in the court, and I fear he will not be able to please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, I boldly ask His Royal Highness to revoke your decision and grant my unwavering love."

The prince stared at Jiang Yu, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Jiang Yu, do you know the consequences of rejecting me?"

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and knelt on the ground, his voice trembling but firm.

"I understand, but I understand even more: love is heavier than Mount Tai. I would rather bear all the consequences than go against my own heart."

The hall was silent, and the only sounds were Jiang Yu's heartbeat and the occasional sound of wind outside the window.

The prince was silent for a long time, and finally stood up slowly and came to Jiang Yu.

"Jiang Yu, your courage and determination have impressed me."

The prince's voice was deep and powerful. "But my words are never child's play. Since you already have someone in your heart, then let him come to see me in person and prove that he is worthy of you."

After saying this, the prince turned and left, leaving everyone in the room in shock.

Jiang Yu looked at the prince's departing back, feeling both relieved and uneasy.

She understood that the prince was giving her an opportunity and also giving Xiao Rong a test.

But she knew in her heart that the person she was talking about was just a story she made up.

"Jiang Yu, you..."

Lin Wanqing looked at Jiang Yu, her eyes full of worry.

"I am fine."

Jiang Yu forced a smile, "At least, I have temporarily held the prince back."

"But what should we do next?"

Lin Wanqing frowned.

"We can only take one step at a time."

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and said, "I will find Xiao Rong to find a way to solve all this."

"Why is His Royal Highness so persistent?"

Lin Wanqing frowned and asked in confusion.

Jiang Yu also looked confused and shook his head.

"I don't know either. Perhaps the prince has his own considerations."

Lin Wanqing pondered for a moment, as if she had thought of something, "Could it be..." She hesitated to speak, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.

"What?" Jiang Yu asked.

Lin Wanqing sighed and slowly expressed her guess.

"Perhaps the prince is not interested in you personally, but the power behind the Jiang family."

Jiang Yu was shocked when she heard this. She had never thought about it in this way.

But she immediately shook her head, "Even so, I can't sacrifice my own happiness for the benefit of my family."

Lin Wanqing nodded in agreement.

"You are right, but the key now is that we have to find a way to deal with the threat posed by the crown prince."

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"I will go to Xiao Rong to discuss countermeasures. He will definitely find a way."

Lin Wanqing looked at Jiang Yu's determined eyes and felt a little comforted, but more worried.

"You must be careful in everything you do. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not someone you can easily deal with."

Jiang Yu nodded. She knew her situation was dangerous, but she knew even more clearly that she couldn't retreat.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the silence in the room.

The two looked at each other and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.

"Who?" Jiang Yu asked, with a hint of vigilance in his voice.

"It's me. I have something urgent to discuss with Miss Jiang."

A familiar voice came from outside the door. It was Xiao Rong's personal bodyguard.

When Jiang Yu heard this, his heart tightened. Could something have happened to Xiao Rong?

She hurriedly got up, walked to the door, opened it, and saw the guard standing outside with an anxious look on his face.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to Xiao Rong?" Jiang Yu asked hurriedly.

The guard shook his head, "It's not the young master, it's the Jiang family that's in trouble."

"What happened to my family?" Jiang Yu's heart tightened, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"The Jiang family has been surrounded by the Crown Prince's men. They claim they're trying to capture spies colluding with the enemy nation." The guard's voice was deep and powerful. "The Master sent me to inform you to be careful and not expose yourself."

Jiang Yu was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the prince would take action against the Jiang family so quickly and decisively.

"I understand. Thank you." Jiang Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Please tell Xiao Rong not to worry. I will be careful."

The guard nodded and turned to leave.

Jiang Yu closed the door and leaned against it, feeling powerless.

The prince actually used such means to force her to submit. What should she do?

Lin Wanqing looked at Jiang Yu's pale face and was filled with worry.

"Jiang Yu, are you okay?" She walked forward and gently supported Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu shook his head, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"I'm fine. I won't let the prince's conspiracy succeed."

She took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to find Xiao Rong, and we'll find a way to deal with this together."

Lin Wanqing looked at Jiang Yu's determined eyes and felt a little comforted.

"Okay, I'll go with you." She held Jiang Yu's hand tightly. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Jiang Yu looked at Lin Wanqing, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

She knew that having Lin Wanqing by her side at this time was her greatest luck.

The two smiled at each other, held hands tightly and walked out of the room.

They know that the road ahead will be difficult, but they are ready. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they will work together to face them.

Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing arrived at Xiao Rong's residence, only to see Xiao Rong walking back and forth in the room with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing coming, Xiao Rong's eyes flashed with joy.

"You're here. I was just about to send someone to look for you."

Jiang Yu felt a tightness in his heart when he saw Xiao Rong's anxious expression.

"Is there something wrong with my family?" she asked hurriedly.

Xiao Rong nodded. "The Crown Prince has imprisoned the entire Jiang family for collaborating with the enemy."

When Jiang Yu heard this, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Lin Wanqing quickly supported her and let her lean on him.

"Jiang Yu, you have to cheer up. We have to find a way to save the Jiang family now." Lin Wanqing's voice was full of determination and strength.
