The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Xi was killing time in his study at this time, and he could hear people discussing this matter.

"Miss Su and the prince are a perfect match in terms of appearance and family background. They are the ideal match for each other."

"Before the Second Prince was injured, the prince was reluctant to marry the Prime Minister's daughter to avoid suspicion. Now, his wish has come true."

"Shh! How dare you say such things? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"..."

Song Xiwan hadn't turned the pages of the storybook in his hand for a long time. His lowered eyelids cast a shadow, making it impossible to see his thoughts.

So, Xie Chengqian still regretted it?

Yes, she is not only the prime minister's daughter, but also the person he has been thinking about most.

Song Xiwan felt as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his chest, making him feel suffocated. When he closed the book and was about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It’s Jiang Yao.

Song Xiwan's face darkened and he walked around him to leave.

"Xiwan."

Jiang Yao insisted on blocking her way, with helplessness in his eyes, "I know you are angry, give me a chance to explain?"

Song Xiwan thought of what Qin Mingchen said and stopped.

She looked at Jiang Yao with cold eyes and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"Let's talk upstairs?"

Jiang Yao was obviously well prepared.

Song Xiwan was worried that Jiang Yao might do the same thing as her, and was afraid that his appearance would affect her plans, so she decided to wait for a while.

Upstairs box.

As soon as they sat down, Jiang Yao had a lot of exquisite tea and snacks served, and said as if presenting a treasure: "Thank you for still treating me as a friend."

"I just wanted to know what your plans were."

Song Xiwan didn't touch the food at all and was extremely wary.

Jiang Yao smiled bitterly, "I thought you would trust me more if you knew we were on the same side, but I didn't expect that I was too confident."

It would be a lie for Song Xiwan to say that there was no disturbance, but she had to remain calm at this moment.

"When did you come back? And why did you look for me? And how did you know I'm the same as you?"

She asked questions calmly.

Especially the last point, when they met outside the city, she didn't notice anything wrong with Jiang Yao.

"Although the Jiang family is the richest in Annan City, it's also close to the border. Three years of war followed, and taxes became increasingly heavy. Furthermore, officials were also pressuring us. It would have been fine if the money had been donated, but you know all that money ended up in the pockets of officials at every level."

Jiang Yao told the story about the Jiang family's situation in the next three years, including the confiscation of their money and the exile of the entire family to the frontier.

Song Xiwan's heart trembled when he heard this.

She really didn't know about these things about the Jiang family.

Jiang Yao said calmly, "We both starved to death on the road. Ever since you learned martial arts, I realized you might be the same as me."

Unexpectedly, when I tried it, it turned out to be true.

Song Xiwan's face tensed.

She wondered if Xie Chengqian was the same as her, but she didn't guard against others.

"and then?"

"Like you, I don't want to see the tragedy of my past life repeated."

Jiang Yao's voice became much colder, and his face no longer had the carefree and cheerful look of the past.

Song Xiwan didn't say whether she believed it or not, and continued to ask: "Then what does this have to do with your plan to assassinate me?"

"I'm not the one who wants to kill you. It's only that person who wants you dead."

Jiang Yao retorted calmly.

This touched Song Xiwan's sore spot, and the cup in her hand was almost crushed. She looked at Jiang Yao with cold eyes.

Jiang Yao let her examine him and continued, "Xi Wan, I want to marry you."

Song Xiwan smiled.

Has she encountered any romantic troubles recently?

One or two of them said they wanted to marry her!

Jiang Yao said in a hoarse voice, "After my past life, I know that money alone is useless. You must have status to keep these things. Otherwise, it would be a crime to possess a treasure."

"So you're attracted to my identity as the daughter of the Supreme Court Justice?"

Song Xiwan understood the situation and felt sad.

In her previous life, when she and Jiang Yao first met, they were like-minded and were friends. Now, they both have a lot of things to do.

Jiang Yao shook his head and posed another soul-searching question: "Not only that, Xi Wan, don't you want revenge?"

Song Xiwan's face darkened slightly. "What do you mean?"

"In your previous life, you were married to Queen Xuan. I have been following your news. After he killed you, he married Su Xunyao."

Jiang Yao's words shocked Song Xiwan, and the place where his heart was pierced by the sharp arrow felt a dull pain again.

So, Xie Chengqian really did this cruel thing just to make her give up her position as princess?

Jiang Yao patiently coaxed, "Xi Wan, we are different. God gave us the opportunity to overturn everything."

"You think everything is too simple."

Song Xiwan chuckled.

Xie Chengqian is back too. How easy is revenge?

Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with cruelty, but his expression was still as unruly as before. "But I'm willing to give it a try. What if?"

"I do not like you."

Song Xiwan refused outright.

No matter in the past or now, she only regards Jiang Yao as a friend.

Jiang Yao's expression froze for a moment, and he asked in an ambiguous voice, "Could it be that you still like Prince Xuan?"

Song Xiwan's heart had returned to calm. "This has nothing to do with you. Also, as we were once friends, I advise you not to provoke Xie Chengqian."

In her two lifetimes, she had never seen anyone more ruthless than Xie Chengqian.

Killing Jiang Yao is too easy.

After saying that, Song Xiwan left.

Jiang Yao sat motionless in his original position, rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingertips, his eyes flickering.

Until there was a slight movement from the back door on the other side of the screen.

He then said, "She doesn't believe me."

A hoarse voice came from the other side of the screen, "That's something you have to find a way to deal with. If you can't get rid of her, I can't save the Jiang family."

Jiang Yao looked displeased, but the other party left without waiting for him to say anything.

Jiang Yao slammed his fist on the tea table and murmured softly, "Xi Wan, I don't have a choice."

……

At this time, Song Xiwan was already on his way back to the Song Mansion.

A-niang was already waiting there. As soon as she saw me, she waved and said, "Xiwan, why are you back so late?"

"I'm going to the study. Mother, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Song Xiwan walked over in confusion.

Xu took her hand and sat down, smiling and saying, "Mother just wanted to chat with you for a while, is that not okay?"

How could Song Xiwan dare to say no? "What do you want to talk about, mother?"

Xu coughed lightly, remembering what her husband had told her.

She asked thoughtfully, "Why haven't I seen Young Master Jiang come to our house recently? Is it because we haven't treated him well enough?"

Song Xiwan really didn't expect A Niang to ask about Jiang Yao, so she smiled faintly and said, "No, he's probably busy with the academy's affairs."

"Oh, so I heard you almost got married before?"

Xu took over the conversation again.

Song Xiwan smelled something wrong. Could this be what she thought?

"Yes, but I rejected him just as a friend. It's the same now. I don't have any other thoughts."

Xu was stunned and asked nervously, "So you like Prince Xuan?"
