Sheng Qingtang's arrangements were almost complete, and Jiang Xue Ning received the news quickly. Now she needed to show some sincerity to give people peace of mind.

In order not to attract attention, she specially made an appointment with Shen Zhaoyan to visit a famous hot spring resort in the suburbs of Beijing.

Shen Zhaoyan had a cold body and spent almost the entire long winter here.

After the two of them finished soaking in the hot spring that day, when she was pushing Shen Zhaoyan for a walk nearby, they "accidentally met" Nangong Mo, who had been traveling in Beijing recently.

Nangong Mo smiled at her exaggeratedly, "It's true that we meet everywhere in life!"

Shen Zhaojun looked suspiciously between the two of them without saying a word. Jiang Xue Ning pinched him secretly.

He could only smile falsely and said, "Since we have met, I will naturally do my best to be a good host."

Nangong Mo followed them back to the private villa without any hesitation.

Shen Zhaoyan was in the warm greenhouse and had someone serve him some tea.

Nangong Mo took a sip and habitually glanced at Jiang Xuening, "The princess specially asked me to meet here, what's the matter?"

Shen Zhaoyan, who was standing aside, glared at Nangong Mo without showing any emotion, but unfortunately Nangong Mo was unaware of it.

Jiang Xue Ning coughed lightly, "Well, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Nangong Mohua waved her fan like a peacock, "Just tell me what you want, as long as I can do it, even if it means picking stars."

"You don't have to pick the stars." Jiang Xue Ning said seriously, "I just want to ask, is it okay to change the bride for your uncle?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Zhaoyan also looked at her in surprise. Was she doing something again without telling him?

"It means that although Shangguan Mingzhu was chosen for the marriage, the person she married was someone else."

Nangong Mo understood silently, "Wow, are you going to replace her with someone else to marry?"

Jiang Xue Ning nodded, "The woman who married in for me has some connection with me. I hope your uncle can treat her well if possible."

This was too exciting. The story in the storybook was about to be played out in front of him. Nangong Mo gossiped with great interest, "Is the substitute bride beautiful?"

"She is very beautiful, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"That's fine." Nangong Mo said confidently, "My uncle loves only beautiful women, and he hates to see beautiful women cry."

"When the time comes, as long as the beauty cries bitterly and tells a sad story about her life, the emperor's uncle will definitely feel pity for her and won't blame her."

Jiang Xue Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

She believed that with Sheng Qingtang's ability, she would be able to deal with the emperor's uncle, and her life in Fuso would not be too difficult.

Nangong Mo assured, "Don't worry, I will secretly help you take care of the new bride. I am good at coaxing the emperor's uncle."

Regarding this marriage, he begged and pleaded, and the emperor's uncle immediately stepped forward to help him out of his urgent problem.

Jiang Xue Ning poured him another half cup of tea, "Thank you, Fourth Prince."

"No thanks, just speak well of me in front of someone in the future."

Nangong Mo is a very talkative person and we had a very pleasant meal.

As the sun set, he said goodbye after having a full meal and a drink.

Shen Zhaoyan's face was slightly cold, and he looked at her with an obscure look in his eyes, "You seem to be hiding a lot of secrets from me."

Jiang Xue Ning squatted down in front of the wheelchair and looked at him, "You are unhappy."

"I just don't like the feeling of being excluded from your world."

Jiang Xue Ning smiled gently, but the words she spoke were cruel.

"I've said it before, I'm not the kind of person you expect, and I can't give you a peaceful life."

"If you regret it now, it's not too late."

Shen Zhaoyan half-closed his eyes, and the mole under his eye became even colder and more beautiful. "I don't regret it, and I don't want to let go... I just feel a little wronged."

Jiang Xue Ning held his cold hand and said, "Just bear with it. There will be many more things you will suffer after you marry me."

"You are really heartless."

"Well, I have always been a heartless person."

She could no longer give her true heart easily, nor could she easily stay for a man.

Even if that man is Shen Zhaoyan,

She knew it was unfair to him, so she gave him a chance to regret it.

Shen Zhaoyan held her back and said, "If I go back on my word, it would be against the Emperor's order, but you don't seem afraid at all."

"Because this day will come sooner or later, and I have nothing left to lose."

Very dangerous statement.

Shen Zhaoyan also glimpsed her ambition and aspirations. He chuckled and was not angry at all.

"If that's what you want, go get it."

"Even if you have to walk on my dead bones to get there."

Jiang Xue Ning avoided his gaze, "If you want, you can live comfortably without getting involved in this mess."

Shen Zhaoyan's eyes flashed with a strange light, "After my father and brother died, I was predicted to not live past the age of 20. For a long time, I lived casually and didn't want anything."

"But now I have what I want." His fingers gently stroked her cheek, "Since I have picked the moon, I am willing to give everything I have, even my bones and blood, to nourish the moon and make it brighter."

"This is the retribution I deserve for what I demanded, and I accept it with pleasure."

Jiang Xue Ning felt the warmth of his fingertips and closed her eyes, "I'm not worthy."

“I think it’s worth it.”

If he hadn't met her, his life would still be boring, damp and rotten... and he would gradually wither... and then leave without any worries.

"You are a lunatic..."

"Well, so please let me go. Let me go crazy as much as I want."

Shen Zhaoyan picked a blooming flower nearby, put it in her hair, and lowered his head to leave a light kiss on her forehead.

"After we get married, I will draw your eyebrows and wear flowers for you every day, okay?"

After a long while... Jiang Xue Ning responded softly, "Okay."

"Everything in the Zhennan Palace is at your disposal. If you get bored, you can leave at any time."

Jiang Xue Ning asked with trembling eyelashes, "Why me?"

"I don't know where the love comes from, but it's deep and lasting. It's normal for someone as dazzling as you to attract others."

Hearing the sound of the wheelchair leaving the greenhouse, Jiang Xue Ning finally opened her eyes, a strange emotion welling up in her heart.

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

It has come to this, so let's live in the present. No one can predict what will happen in the future.

She calmed herself down and slowly left the greenhouse.

Shen Zhaoyan hid in the dark, looking at her back, with a secret smile on his lips.

Sister, are you back?

This time, he was older than her, and it was his turn to protect her.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not her. No matter who the soul in her body is, he is moved by her and crazy about her.

He has always been a selfish person, and he will be selfish to the end this time. Even if he dies, her name will be engraved on his tombstone.

It is absolutely impossible to let go, but he insisted on doing it...
