Chapter 195: The Princess of the World of Women 2
After recalling all the memories, Jiang Wan was convinced.
What a coincidence, coming at this time, she had no way to avoid kneeling. Even if she immediately pleaded with the Third Prince Xiao Su, he would probably think that she had bad intentions and was trying to save Ji Yunbai in a roundabout way.
But it is impossible to let Jiang Wan give in like this, since she was not the one who did it anyway.
So, Jiang Wan only knelt for a short while, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
On the other side, the third prince Xiao Su sat at the desk, his brows furrowed, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his violently heaving chest showed that he was not at peace at the moment.
The servant beside him comforted him at the right time: "Your Highness, don't be angry. If you get angry and your body gets damaged, that vixen outside will be proud of you. In my opinion, the prince's wife is only temporarily bewitched by that bitch. After a long time, she will see the good of Your Highness sooner or later!"
The other young servant with a round face seemed impatient and rolled his eyes. "What do you mean by being obsessed with that little bitch outside? It's just that the princess is too much. She doesn't take His Highness seriously at all! Your Highness should behave like a prince and teach His Highness a lesson!"
Xiao Su knew very well that Jiang Wan's heart was not with him at all, but he just couldn't help being angry. How was he inferior to Ji Yunbai?
How could he, a prince, not be better than Ji Yunbai, a bastard? Jiang Wan was really blind. He was such a brilliant man before, but now he was so different! If he didn't like me, why did he ask to marry me in the first place!
Even so, after hearing the news from the servant that Jiang Wan fainted after kneeling for a while, Xiao Su still couldn't bear it and hurried to Jiang Wan's residence with the servant.
Although his heart was full of resentment, Xiao Su still shamefully softened when he saw Jiang Wan lying on the couch with a pale face.
He still remembered the first time he met Jiang Wan. She was wearing a moon-white brocade robe that perfectly outlined her tall figure. As she walked slowly, she was as poetic as a painting, and her charm was truly unique.
There is no lady in Kyoto who is more elegant than her.
Xiao Su asked the imperial physician about the situation and learned that it was due to anger and anger that he fainted. When he looked at Jiang Wan lying on the couch, there was only deep hurt in his eyes.
Anger? Was it because he didn't help to plead with his father and queen to release Ji Yunbai?
The pale round-faced servant pouted and looked angrily at Jiang Wan who was lying on the couch. If looks could kill, Jiang Wan would have been cut into pieces by him.
In his eyes, such a disloyal and short-sighted woman is not worthy of their Highness!
Xiao Su couldn't bear it after all. After sending the imperial physician away, he sat beside Jiang Wan's bed, looking at her with infatuation and resentment.
For Ji Yunbai's sake, Jiang Wan had always kept his distance from him and didn't even touch him on their wedding night. Even when he displayed his authority as a prince, Jiang Wan would just refuse to yield despite being beaten or scolded.
But this was the woman he had admired since he was young. No matter how determined he said, Xiao Su still couldn't bear to do anything to Jiang Wan. Only at this time, when Jiang Wan was lying quietly on the bed, could he get close to her and look at her face carefully.
"Ningning, go get a basin of water."
Smelling the lingering smell of alcohol on Jiang Wan's body, Xiao Su was afraid that she didn't sleep well, so he wanted to help her change her clothes and wash her.
"Your Highness, she has treated you like this, why are you still caring about her? Just let her fend for herself here. In my opinion, maybe she just doesn't want to kneel and is pretending to faint..."
Jiang Wan pretending to be fainted: ...
"Enough, stop talking nonsense. Just go and fetch water when I ask you to!" Xiao Su scolded with a cold face.
Ningning was a little resentful, but she still had to follow Xiao Su's arrangements.
Xiao Su personally tested the water temperature and made sure it was just right before he wet the towel and gently wiped Jiang Wan's hands and face. His movements were gentle and his eyes were focused, and he even felt embarrassed to wipe Jiang Wan who was pretending to faint.
She felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart, and at the same time she felt that her original self was ungrateful for hurting someone who loved her wholeheartedly, and instead tried to please the person who took advantage of her.
Xiao Su didn't want Jiang Wan to find out that he had been there, so he cleaned Jiang Wan, loosened her outer clothes, and after making sure she slept comfortably, he left in a hurry.
The next day, Jiang Wan was awakened by the noise outside the house.
It was too late yesterday, and knowing that his daughter had done something out of line in the palace again, Jiang's father didn't want to disturb her, so he came to visit early this morning.
Jiang Wan opened her eyes in a daze, and saw her mother and father standing in front of her bed. Both of them had gloomy faces, especially her mother, whose face was so gloomy that it seemed like tears were about to drip out.
"Mom, Dad..." Jiang Wan murmured softly.
"I don't have a daughter like you, Jiang Wan. You are simply a disgrace to our Jiang family! Did your parents teach you everything you learned since you were a child fall into your lap? It's fine if you were fooling around outside, but where were you yesterday? That was the palace! It was a banquet in the palace, and the queen was not far away!"
"You lost your temper like this. Do you know what the consequences will be? Do you know that you almost lost your life yesterday? If it weren't for the Third Prince's plea, you wouldn't even be able to leave the palace!"
"What's so good about Ji Yunbai that you would risk your life to protect him like this! Do you care about the reputation and future of your family?"
Mrs. Jiang is a civil servant and has always been gentle and polite. But now she is so angry that she tries her best to suppress the anger in her heart, but still can't help but roaring out loud.
Fearing that people outside might hear and laugh at him, Uncle Jiang acted quickly. He cleared the servants outside and quickly closed the door tightly.
"Jiang Wan, our Jiang family can no longer tolerate a Buddha like you. If you continue to behave like this, you will no longer be a descendant of our Jiang family. I, Jiang Xu, will no longer have any ties with you!"
To this day, Old Lady Jiang has never forgotten the intimidating and terrifying look the Queen gave her in the hall yesterday. She was blaming her for not teaching her daughter well!
Although she had high hopes for Jiang Wan, she couldn't give up the future of the entire family because of one person. If Jiang Wan continued to be stubborn, her life or death would have nothing to do with the Jiang family in the future.
Jiang Wan drank a lot of wine at the palace banquet yesterday. He just woke up now and his head was still dizzy. He was stunned by the anger of Jiang's mother.
This made Father Jiang very anxious. Although he was angry, Jiang Wan was still his child. He couldn't be so cruel as to let her mother kick her out of the Jiang family.
Father Jiang stepped forward, firmly grasped Jiang Wan's shoulders, and said earnestly: "Wan Wan, don't go against your mother. Admit your mistakes to her and keep your distance from Ji Yunbai in the future. Then your mother won't be angry and won't drive you out of the Jiang family!"
"You are my only daughter, and I don't want you to make a big mistake! Just be obedient and behave yourself, and think of it as your father begging you, okay? You have already married the Third Prince, so there is no possibility for Ji Yunbai and you anymore, so don't even think about him!"
