Chapter 232 - 233: Not Fighting, But Getting Beaten



Can a prince really act like this?

Ministers work hard to serve the royal family, only to end up like this. It’s truly disheartening.

Before coming here, Madam Wenren held a meeting with her family.

At the meeting, everyone unanimously decided that since the Prince of Yu had treated them so unfairly, the Wenren family would make sure to marry Jiang Ning as their daughter-in-law.

Once Jiang Ning became a part of the Wenren family, they would see if he could still be so overbearing and arrogant, and whether he would dare to come to the Wenren family to cause trouble.

Madam Wenren had previously advised her son not to get involved in this muddy water, but now, even if her son didn’t want to marry Jiang Ning, she would force him to do so.

Not for anything else, but to regain some dignity.

She couldn’t say these things to Lin Zizi.

But Lin Zizi could guess some of it.

She knew her friend’s character: upright and clear about love and hatred. She never started trouble but never feared it either.

She smiled and said, “Regardless of what the Prince of Yu does, the emperor has ordered them to divorce, so they won’t have any relationship from now on.”

“Yes, but Ningning won’t get married while the Prince of Yu still hasn’t given up. Don’t you think? Zizi, my son has risked his life and shed blood for Ningning. Could you please persuade her on my behalf?”

“I won’t persuade her; I’ll let her make her own decision.”

“Fine, fine, if you won’t persuade her, I’ll go talk to her personally.”

As expected, Madam Wenren went to speak with Jiang Ning herself.

Jiang Ning thought they had all left and was surprised to see Madam Wenren.

“Ningning, I came to see you.” Madam Wenren’s demeanor was elegant and her words were gentle, making others feel comfortable and refreshed.

Jiang Ning asked Huang Ying to pour tea and said, “Madam, please have a seat.”

Madam Wenren smiled and asked, “Where are the little master and the little mistress?”

“They are in the side room, being looked after by the wet nurse and maidservants.”

“You must be tired taking care of them by yourself?”

“I’m not tired, there are so many people helping me.” Jiang Ning smiled and asked, “Have my sisters already taken Thirteen back home?”

“They were so noisy, so I asked them to leave first. As for Thirteen, let him stay here for a few more days. The doctor said he injured his head and needs to rest quietly, without moving around too much. I’m afraid the carriage ride might make his headache worse.”

Jiang Ning felt remorse, “Madam, if it weren’t for me, Thirteen wouldn’t be like this. Don’t worry, I will definitely take responsibility and take care of him until he’s fully recovered before sending him back.”

“So have you thought about when you’ll marry Thirteen?” Madam Wenren joked.

“This…” Jiang Ning thought for a moment and smiled frankly, “Madam, I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

“Well, you can take your time to think about it. I’m not exaggerating when I say that Thirteen is a truly excellent young man. If you marry into our family, he will surely cherish you.”

“I believe that. But, Madam, aren’t you worried that if I really do marry Thirteen, the Prince of Yu won’t let it go?”

“That’s because you haven’t married yet. Once you do, even if he’s unwilling, there’s nothing he can do.”

“Madam, your magnanimity makes me feel ashamed.”

“Ah,” Madam Wenren sighed, “To be honest, I didn’t quite agree at first. But Thirteen has always been stubborn and made his own decisions; ever since he was a child. As long as he sincerely loves you, I, as a mother, have no choice but to grant him his wish. Besides, you are a sensible and understanding young woman. Let’s put the past behind us and look forward, okay?”

Jiang Ning nodded, “Thank you, Madam, for your consolation.”

“Can you give me a definitive answer today?”

“Madam… I still need some more time to think.” Jiang Ning said softly, “Once Thirteen’s injuries have healed, I will give him my answer..”
