Shen Changyun looked at her and sneered in a cold voice: "Fifth Princess, even if we are cousins, please don't compare us. I am different from you, so naturally I think differently."

Li Qingqian saw a fleeting glimpse of murderous intent in Jiang Huairong's eyes, but she quickly calmed herself down.

He stood up from the chair and walked towards Shen Changyun step by step.

"I'm different from you? Shen Changyun, except that you are a man and I am a woman, what's the difference between you and me?" Jiang Huairong looked at him with some amusement.

"Do you think you are more upright than me? Do you dare to show your dirty thoughts to your wife? How disgusted do you think she will be with you after she knows your dirty thoughts?"

Shen Changyun didn't say anything, but just shifted his gaze to Li Qingqian beside him.

Li Qingqian did not look at him for too long, but turned her head away slightly.

Judging from the emotions in his eyes, the reason why he repeatedly expressed his thoughts in front of me as if by accident was just to remain invincible in this situation.

"You dare not." Jiang Huairong said firmly.

There was some redness in her eyes, with an emotion similar to madness, despair and pain; her lips were trembling and her breathing was a little unstable.

She seemed to feel something blocking her throat, causing discomfort and pain. She paused for a long time before speaking again, her voice trembling slightly.

"I obviously met Li Qingqian a long time ago, and I obviously liked her a long time ago. If I wasn't a girl, I would be the one standing next to her right now."

She turned to look at Shen Changyun again, and said fiercely: "It is you who has snatched away the person who should have belonged to me. Back then, I pretended to be the Seventh Brother and was about to finalize the marriage with Li Qingqian. Don't think I didn't know that you were the one who was interfering. At that time, you were superficially on good terms with me, or the Seventh Prince as people called him, but it took you a year to turn against me. Shen Changyun, I really look down on you!"

"If this world is not unfair, how could I, as a princess of Dawei, not even have a woman I love? If I were a man, she would have been my prince consort by now!"

Jiang Huairong grabbed Li Qingqian's shoulders frantically, "And you, you were the first to show your affection to me, why don't you love me as much as you love Shen Changyun? You liar!"

Shen Changyun was about to pull her away in dissatisfaction, but he only heard Li Qingqian's calm voice: "Jiang Huairong, I have never lied to you."

"what?"

"Back then, I just felt sorry for the Seventh Prince because he was so weak and had few friends. I thought he was just like me who had wronged myself in the Li Mansion. I took pity on him and took the initiative to send him a plate of snacks. However, if it was you, the Fifth Princess, who was by the lake at that time, I would never ignore it."

Jiang Huairong staggered a few steps back, tears welling up in his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Li Qingqian sighed, "I didn't know that the kindness of the little boy would leave such an unforgettable mark in the heart of the Fifth Princess. I'm sorry, Fifth Princess, the person I like has always been Shen Changyun."

"It has nothing to do with whether he is a man or not, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a woman or not. It's just because I happen to be in love with him, that's all."

Jiang Huairong's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string.

"So what you mean is that we were wrong from the very beginning when we met?"

"Not really," Li Qingqian shook her head. "It was originally a blessing for Ah Qian to meet the Fifth Princess and win her favor. But at that time, Ah Qian had already begun to secretly like Shen Changyun. My meeting with the princess was not a mistake, but it should not become a source of worry for the princess."

Jiang Huairong turned around slowly, and the tears streaming down her cheeks became even more violent.

She sobbed silently for a long time, and just when Li Qingqian was confused about what she would do next, Jiang Huairong's voice became hoarse.

"Become a thorn in my side? Li Qingqian, why do you think that our meeting and your kindness to me would become a thorn in my side?"

"Do you know what kind of situation I will face if I go back?"

Li Qingqian was puzzled by her words and turned to look at Shen Changyun, but he avoided her gaze as if he was avoiding something.

It seems that he doesn't intend to explain it.

"Just think of it as me being sentimental. I've been forcing it all these years. Now that my efforts have failed, I naturally can't blame anyone."

Then, she gave them a sad smile, "Li Qingqian, but no matter what happens in the future, no matter where I go, what I do, or who I meet, I will never forget that I resent you and Shen Changyun as much as I do today."

I resented him for ruthlessly exposing me and crushing my cherished secrets and treasures one by one.

I also resent you for ruthlessly telling me the truth that I should have known long ago.

I hate you for lying to me in the first place, and I also hate you for choosing to lie to me, so why don’t you continue to lie to me?

But I just hate you, other than that, I won't do anything else.

Jiang Huairong's eyes suddenly showed sadness. After he returned to the capital, that matter should proceed as normal, right?

In fact, regarding the marriage to Beiyuan, if she had not escaped from the palace secretly, perhaps Dawei would have protected her and directly rejected Beiyuan's absurd request.

But this time when she left the palace, she had planned that if she was discovered, she would go to Beiyuan to marry, which would be the punishment her father would give her.

Generally speaking, when Princess Dawei married into a vassal state, she would become a local tyrant, and the royal family would not necessarily send a real princess.

Instead, they would find some daughters of royal family or high-ranking ministers to replace them. Anyway, the people have already gone to the vassal state, and they would not dare to say anything about this to the Central Plains.

But this trip to Beiyuan for the marriage was different from the usual ones.

The reason why Beiyuan is so arrogant now is nothing more than relying on a mysterious and powerful force in their hands, and they think they have the ability to stand on equal footing with Zhongyuan.

Therefore, almost everyone who knew a little about this matter knew about Jiang Huairong's mission to Beiyuan.

But Li Qingqian didn't know that she didn't even know that Jiang Huairong was going to Beiyuan at the moment, and Shen Changyun was deliberately avoiding this topic.

At this point, Jiang Huairong still had to be sent back to the capital. Among those escorting her back were not only Shen Changyun's people in An County, but also several upper-middle-level people among the Tan Yi secret guards.

That night, Li Qingqian pulled Shen Changyun back to their room in Hu Yue Tower and locked the door.

"Okay, now that we're alone, you can tell me the truth, right?"
