Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

Liu Fengjiu, however, thought it would be a good idea for Liu Yitao to marry Jiang Fan at this time. He approached anxiously and said sincerely, "Yitao, Dad knows you're filled with resentment and anger. But the deep hatred between you and Lianjiaoyu has already filled you with pain, and you're immersed in grief and anger every day. Dad thinks that marrying into the Jiang family might distract you and allow you to slowly live a stable and peaceful life. The hatred buried deep in your heart will gradually fade with the passage of time."

Liu Yitao's once beautiful eyes widened as she stared at her father in disbelief. She cried out in grief and indignation, "Dad, how could you say such a thing? How could I forget the blood feud that permeated Liuxia Mountain? My resolve for revenge will last until death, as firm as a rock. I will never give up so easily just because of something like getting married!"

Liu Fengjiu sighed deeply, her sigh filled with helplessness and heartache. "My daughter, Daddy is truly doing this for your own good. The road to revenge is fraught with thorns, too difficult and dangerous. Daddy truly does not want to see you suffer, or even risk his own life for it."

Liu Yitao's eyes were filled with tears, but her tone was firm: "Dad, you don't understand. For me, this vengeance must be avenged. Even if it costs everything, even if it means my death, I will not hesitate!"

Jiang Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this, then said, "Miss Liu, our Jiang family has always been a man of our word. I know you are deeply saddened by what happened to Liuxia Mountain. Our Jiang family will fully support you in seeking justice for Liuxia Mountain. If you marry into the Jiang family and become their daughter-in-law, we will spare no effort to help you."

Liu Yitao snorted coldly, her face full of determination: "City Lord Jiang, I appreciate your kindness, but I, Liu Yitao, have no business getting revenge, and the Jiang family won't interfere! I will resolve it in my own way."

After saying that, Liu Yitao turned and left. Her resolute back seemed to speak of her determination. She left everyone there, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn, like frozen frost, making people feel depressed and uneasy.

Liu Fengjiu shook her head helplessly, feeling extremely regretful. She blamed herself for not realizing how unwavering her daughter's determination to seek revenge was.

Jiang Fan also has deep feelings for Liu Yitao. He is also well aware of the horror and power of the Lianjiao Prison, but he relies on the strong financial resources of Wanbao Pavilion and wants to promote this marriage in a domineering way.

Jiang Fan looked in the direction Liu Yitao had left and gritted his teeth, his clenched jaw revealing his unwillingness and determination. He turned to Liu Fengjiu and said, "Uncle Liu, no matter how Liu Yitao refuses now, I, Jiang Fan, will finalize this marriage. I will use all the resources of Wanbao Pavilion to prepare this wedding, making it an unprecedented and grand occasion unmatched in the world. I simply don't believe that Liu Yitao can keep rejecting me."

Liu Fengjiu looked troubled, and the wrinkles on her forehead seemed to deepen. "Jiang Fan, Yitao is very stubborn, like a bamboo that would rather break than bend. I'm afraid she won't give in easily."

Jiang Fan's eyes were firm, with a hint of unquestionable dominance in them, as if everything was under his control. "Don't worry, uncle. I have a way to make her agree. Lianjiaoyu may be powerful, but I, Jiang Fan, am no pushover. As long as she becomes my wife, I will protect her. Even if it means becoming an enemy of Lianjiaoyu, no matter how great the cost, I will never back down."

Jiang Yu frowned and said seriously, "Fan'er, don't act rashly. This matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration. Don't act rashly."

Jiang Fan disagreed. He clenched his fists tightly and said firmly, "Dad, I've made up my mind. Liu Yitao can only be my wife. No one can stop me, not even the Jade Emperor!"

The Liu family felt a mixture of emotions upon hearing Jiang Fan's words. On the one hand, they worried about Liu Yitao's fierce resistance, fearing she would be hurt; on the other, they were concerned about Jiang Fan's harsh tactics, unsure how to handle this complex situation. Meanwhile, in her room, Liu Yitao frowned, plotting how to continue her path of revenge. She remained unmoved by Jiang Fan's overbearing proposal, her heart filled with only a steadfast belief in revenge.

Jiang Fan returned home and immediately, anxiously gathering his staff, his devotion evident. He began meticulously preparing for the wedding, personally selecting the most expensive silks, smooth and delicate, shimmering like gemstones, and the most dazzling jewels, their brilliance dazzling the eyes. He demanded that the artisans create the most magnificent wedding dress and jewelry, embroidered with exquisite designs and the jewelry of unparalleled craftsmanship. He declared that, no matter the cost, this wedding would be the most spectacular event in the world, a spectacle that would amaze everyone.

He also dispatched numerous personnel to monitor Liu Yitao's every move, fearing she might escape or commit some drastic action. These men lurked around Liu Yitao like ghosts, constantly reporting on her situation to Jiang Fan. At the same time, he constantly pressured the Liu family, demanding that Liu Fengjiu quickly convince Liu Yitao to agree to the marriage, his urgency suffocating.

Facing his friends who came to persuade him, Jiang Fan remained unmoved. He crossed his arms, his expression cold and indifferent, and said in a cold voice: "I, Jiang Fan, must do what I have decided. Liu Yitao is mine, and no one can stop me from marrying her. No matter what the cost, I will do it."

He even went to the Liu family in person, and despite Liu Yitao's resistance, he forcefully grabbed her hand and said, "Yitao, whether you like it or not, you have to get married. I can give you everything, wealth and honor, and even help you deal with the Refining Horn Prison. Don't be ungrateful!"

Liu Yitao struggled to break free from his hand, glaring at him with eyes that seemed to spit out flames: "Jiang Fan, don't even think about forcing me! My fate is in my own hands, not something you can manipulate at will!"

Jiang Fan remained unmoved, continuing to pursue his own path. News of his domineering behavior spread throughout the city, with people discussing him in the streets and alleys. However, he cared nothing about the outside world's opinions, solely focused on achieving his goals, as if the entire world revolved around his will.

Jiang Fan's overbearing behavior intensified. Not only did he lavishly spend money, attempting to coerce Liu Yitao into submission with a lavish wedding—a mountain of gifts and dazzling jewelry that was jaw-dropping. He also used his connections at Wanbao Pavilion to influence the Liu family's business, restricting their access to the market.

He found Liu Fengjiu again and said in a firm tone: "Uncle Liu, the world can witness my feelings for Yitao. If the Liu family does not cooperate with this marriage, I am afraid that the future will not be smooth. You should know that there is nothing I, Jiang Fan, cannot do." Liu Fengjiu looked embarrassed, but did not know how to deal with Jiang Fan's coercion. His helpless expression seemed as if he was in a desperate situation.

When Liu Yitao learned of Jiang Fan's actions, her anger intensified, like a volcano about to erupt. She approached Jiang Fan and berated him directly, "Jiang Fan, you're so tyrannical and overbearing, you don't even consider my feelings. Even if I'm forced to marry you, I'll never be truly sincere to you! My heart will never belong to someone like you!" Jiang Fan, however, remained unmoved. With a firm gaze, he said, "Yitao, no matter what you think now, once you become my wife, I'll slowly change your mind. I have plenty of time and patience."

To hasten the wedding, Jiang Fan, even disregarding formalities, forced a date and sent out invitations, all of which were beautifully crafted, their words etched with his dominance and determination. He firmly believed that as long as the wedding took place, everything would go according to his wishes, and Liu Yitao would eventually become his wife.

However, his tyranny did not make Liu Yitao yield, but instead made her more determined to resist. That determination was as hard as steel and unshakable.

Finally, Liu Yitao couldn't stand it anymore and ran away from home resolutely.

Jiang Fan was stunned when he heard the news. His eyes widened with disbelief. "He ran away?"
