Chapter 1306: You Must Not Be a Fickle Woman
Jiang Ying didn’t give chase; she simply hurriedly crouched down to gather the letters, one by one.
But the letters were scattered everywhere, and because the paper was light, they were continuously blown away by the cold wind.
Jiang Ying hurriedly went to chase after them.
Seeing her struggling, Prince Qing, though reluctant, finally extended a helping hand and caught one of the letters swirling in the air.
Jiang Ying quickly said, "Thank you!"
She treasured them immensely and took all the letters back inside, laying them out on the table.
By the light of the lamp, she checked to ensure none of them were damaged.
Prince Qing followed her inside.
He leaned against the table, arms crossed, looking down with a cold gaze.
"Since you like them this much, it shows you still have feelings for him. If so, why do you refuse him? Isn’t marrying him a good thing?"
Bai Beirang was also taken aback after saying this.
His tone was too much, filled with acrimony.
Jiang Ying didn’t explain further.
She merely carefully put the letters away.
"These are the thoughts of a young woman, and even if discarded, they shouldn’t be left in the scattering snow."
Prince Qing couldn’t help but coldly ask, "So you really still like him?"
"Then wouldn’t my plan have broken up a good match for you two!"
Jiang Ying was about to explain when Bai Beirang turned and left in a fit of anger.
The Master and Madam Jiang finally arrived late.
They hurriedly said, "Prince... oh! Prince?"
Prince Qing brushed past them without a backward glance.
Madam Jiang quickly entered the room, looking at Jiang Ying with utter surprise.
"What exactly happened? Why did I just see Yucheng leave in sadness, saying he’d return to Yingzhou tomorrow, and now even the Prince..."
Jiang Ying pressed her temples, feeling quite vexed.
"Mother, I don’t know. Please let me be alone for a while."
Master and Madam Jiang exchanged a glance.
Master Jiang closed the door with a heavy voice, "Daughter, your mother and I have always been open-minded."
"Because we knew you and Song Family’s Yucheng have mutually admired each other since childhood, we arranged for him to come from Yingzhou to complete this match for the two of you."
"But we didn’t expect that you and Prince Qing would develop feelings for each other, so we had to apologize to Yucheng."
"But looking at the situation now, you’re going to end up with nothing."
Madam Jiang chimed in, "Yes, you must not be a fickle woman."
"Since you were young, I’ve taught you what it means to be a boudoir lady."
"If you don’t like someone, just refuse them, don’t deceive both ends."
Jiang Ying grew anxious: "Mother, I haven’t deceived anyone. I haven’t played with the feelings of either Cousin or Prince Qing!"
As she spoke, she ended up crying in her own anxiety.
Master Jiang quickly said, "Okay, okay, don’t worry, just rest well. You must have felt wronged just now. We’ll talk about it tomorrow."
Madam Jiang wanted to say more, but her husband pushed her out of the room.
After they left, Jiang Ying collapsed onto the table, sobbing.
She whimpered softly, "I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but the crucial problem is that I am not Jiang Ying at all..."
Therefore, she couldn’t respond to Song Yucheng’s genuine offer which came from miles away.
Her acquaintance with Prince Qing, although it was her, was also her under Jiang Ying’s guise.
After crying for a while, Jiang Ying raised her head.
She decided that this couldn’t continue.
Zhi’er is very capable, with her accurate divinations, she must know how to find a soul.
"I must find Jiang Ying, get her to come back, then I can return the body to her."
