Chapter 64 The Truth
"Then... why did you hit His Royal Highness Prince Ying and ruin this marriage?"
Jiang Ruohua said this, and she also spoke out her true thoughts. Liu Xiyun is not stupid. She knows that love between young people makes people happy, but if the aristocratic families marry, it is difficult to see the true feelings. Jiang Ruohua just doesn't show her emotions to others, and doesn't care what others think of her. When she chose Prince Ying as her husband, she never valued his character, but the imperial power. Although she didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that Prince Ying had good political achievements and was likely to become the crown prince. Being his princess, she would have the opportunity to become the crown princess or even the mother of a country in the future.
If the purpose was marriage rather than love from the beginning, Zhao Yuexi would not be a threat. No matter how favored a woman is, she has no family background. Her favor is just a comfort to men. She can't be a help, and she can't help in the court. Even if Zhao Yuexi is taking advantage of the presence of King Ying to bully Jiang Ruohua, it will not shake Jiang Ruohua.
Therefore, unless Jiang Ruohua herself is unhappy, there is no reason for King Ying to abandon Jiang Ruohua.
Jiang Ruohua sighed: "After seeing the prince's feelings for Miss Zhao, I advised the prince to ask the palace for mercy for Miss Zhao. It's better to be a concubine or concubine than to be so unclear and ambiguous. It hurts the face of both parties."
With a helpless smile on his face, Jiang Ruohua loosened his hand in front of him: "He was almost bewitched and forgot the seriousness. I thought about it. Even if he could drive Miss Zhao away from the prince with a wave of his hand, he couldn't stop a woman like Miss Zhao. People appeared next to the prince one after another. He spoiled Miss Zhao blindly and could no longer tell which was more important, women or government affairs. "
Liu Xiyun nodded. Women regard their husbands as the heaven. While obeying, they also rely on their husbands' talents to enjoy glory. But unlike ordinary women, they are born in powerful and aristocratic families. They are shining because of their mother's family. If their husbands are incompetent, excessive obedience to their husbands will only lose the face of their mother's family. Balancing the two is what they should do as noble ladies and women of high families.
If there is an imbalance, it is equivalent to giving up one side. If the marriage between the aristocratic families is emotionless, if you lose your mother's family, you will be accused of being unfilial. If you lose your husband, you will be accused of being ruthless. Only when both are present can you be noble, decent, and excellent.
"Sister Jiang will definitely meet a more suitable man in the future." Liu Xiyun smiled, "My mother always said that marrying into the royal family is indeed glorious, but only you know the bitterness behind the scenes. How can you be as free as outside the palace?"
"Yeah." Jiang Ruohua nodded, "I have thought it through now. What happens to Prince Ying now has nothing to do with me. I can't sacrifice my Jiang family because of his feelings."
Jiang Ruohua said these openly, not afraid of being heard by people with ulterior motives. Secondly, she also knew Liu Xiyun's character, and things would eventually develop in the direction she wanted.
"Yes, Sister Jiang has a good family background. I'm really happy for you!" Liu Xiyun nodded fiercely, "It should have been done a long time ago. You don't even know what others say about you. You can't even clear yourself by jumping into the river without explaining. I was saying, with your background, how could you be the kind of person who would compete with Zhao Yuexi."
Jiang Ruohua smiled, her eyes slightly red, and she pretended to be quite touched and said, "Thank you, Sister Liu."
Liu Xiyun blushed a little embarrassedly. Although she had never said anything bad about Jiang Ruohua before, she still kept her distance from her. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Actually... thanks to sister Jiang who always mentioned you to us, she always said you were not that kind of person, so we got to know each other better. It wasn't until I met you last time that I really felt that it wasn't the case." "It's okay." Jiang Ruohua quickly pretended to recover, "I know that the second sister has been speaking for me secretly, but unfortunately I was engaged at the time, so I seldom said anything, which made her seem like she had no basis for her words. In fact, I felt really guilty, but she not only didn't care, but also tried to get me to meet a few sisters, just for her kindness. I should not continue like this."
Smiling again, Jiang Ruohua gently held Liu Xiyun's hand and said, "I am even happier that I can still make friends with the sisters now!"
The words from the heart were spoken, and Liu Xiyun almost completely let down her guard with Jiang Ruohua, saying repeatedly, "Sister Jiang and Sister Jiang are obviously not biological sisters, but I think you two are closer than biological sisters. When I went to the palace to see my aunt yesterday, my aunt praised you. I really admire you. At that time, so many people were intimidated on the pleasure boat, but you jumped down directly, Sister Jiang. She is as brave as any man, after all, she is a descendant of a general..."
After Liu Xiyun got familiar with him, she talked a lot more than the day on the pleasure boat. As the carriage moved forward slowly, people chattered along the way without stopping. Jiang Ruohua used the conversation habits she had learned in her dreams very well. While she was talking nonstop, she did not forget her shyness. The two of them laughed from time to time. Whenever they talked about something Jiang Ruohua knew, Jiang Ruohua would talk to Liu Xiyun for a few more words. Their relationship was unconsciously shortened. Liu Xiyun stopped drinking tea only after she felt her throat was dry.
"I really get along well with Sister Jiang. By the way, it seems strange to call you like this all the time. After all, you and Sister Jiang are from the same family. Otherwise, I will call you Sister Hua from now on?"
"Okay!" Jiang Ruohua was naturally happy to see this. After all, getting closer to Liu Xiyun meant that this group of people were getting closer to Jiang Ruoting. She would not give up such a good opportunity!
After all, things are changing, and she cannot be the only one who has tasted the feeling of being alone for so long.
The carriage turned a corner, and both sides became lively. When she heard the cry of sugar paintings outside, Liu Xiyun took a look and said happily: "Stop the car, there is a sugar painting stall over there!"
Liu Xiyun's girl was getting ready to go down, but she saw that her young lady was about to go out, and she repeatedly said: "What kind of lady do you want? I will buy it, please?"
"No, I have to go pick it out myself, there are so many!" Liu Xiyun wanted to go, but then looked back at Jiang Ruohua and said, "Sister Hua, are you going?"
Jiang Ruohua glanced outside and said with a smile: "The store we are going to is only two steps ahead. Sister Liu, go buy it. I will go check out the items I want to buy for Zhuangzi and wait for you in the store."
"good."
The two got off the carriage one after another and walked separately. When they were far away from the sugar painting stall, Hua Chan said with some worry: "Miss, is it really okay to tell Miss Liu the truth about your breakup of the engagement?"
