"That person married , but then hastily left, only sending word of their death. In the letter, she said if I see this letter, it must an she’s already dead. She anticipated so events and told to forget her, to seek another good wife. But emotions are not sothing you can want just because you wish to, nor forget just because you want to. I can’t withdraw my feelings; I wander the world, seeking. I wish to know where she is. Even if she is dead, I want to offer incense for her, but I’ve been disappointed again and again, and by the end I’ve grown utterly hopeless, so I settled in Kaoshan Village."
"That person was too mysterious for ; I once speculated about her identity. I thought I would never again intersect with her life or afterlife, until by chance, I learned of the Royal Family intrigue for the throne among several princesses in the capital."
Xiao Qingyao gradually lowered his gaze, a sorrowful smile on his face, "Prince ng is her sister. I didn’t expect that after avoiding Yuanjing from a young age, I would eventually co full circle and beco entangled with Yuanjing. She was the Sixth Princess of the dynasty, killed by the Eighth Princess, and she once belonged to the Ninth Princess’s faction!"
Xiao Qingyao painfully closed his eyes briefly, "I aim for nothing much, just that what Lao Ba did to my wife, I wish to do to her. My wife died so miserably, and I can’t swallow this grievance. As such a bright and noble person, she should never have t such an end!"
Zhi Chen listened quietly, not surprised by what Xiao Qingyao revealed. Because he already learned from Yixuan’s mouth that Lao San, Shujun, had encountered Xiao Qingyao before, and of Xiao Qingyao disguising himself as Doctor Yao and hiding in the Prince ng Mansion.
"You ca to the Prince ng Mansion firstly because Prince ng is the legitimate sister of your wife, and secondly because Prince ng holds power, thinking you could approach Lao Ba through Prince ng and then strike at Lao Ba?"
"Indeed." Xiao Qingyao answered with calm restraint, but he also knew that all of this was rely his wishful thinking.
Actually, at first, he wanted to strike at Prince ng. He didn’t understand why, since Prince ng and his deceased wife were biological sisters, the one he loved died so tragically while Prince ng survived by chance. Before entering the Prince ng Mansion, what he knew of Prince ng was always about a person with a wayward nature, a Leisurely Prince, yet seemingly had a good relationship with the Eighth Princess. Hence, at that ti, he was dissatisfied with Prince ng and held so resentnt toward the sister because of his wife.
However, after truly entering the Prince Mansion, he acted cautiously, afraid of making mistakes, but gradually realized that the rumors heard were not true.
Prince ng, the sister of his beloved, was actually enduring humiliation, not without hatred, but wisely hiding it for greater sches.
Zhi Chen pondered, "Why didn’t you acknowledge your relationship with Prince ng? After all, given your identity, your relationship... you should be Prince ng’s brother-in-law."
Xiao Qingyao smirked, "Brother-in-law?" He sighed, "I cannot bear that title."
The Fifth Imperial Princess traveled in disguise and t him. Though she married him, it was not recorded on the Royal Family Jade Dishware, so he was not considered a mber of the Royal Family.
Furthermore, since he learned of the Fifth Imperial Princess’s identity, he also understood so other matters.
For instance, the Fifth Imperial Princess’s main husband, concubine, and the nurous male lovers she collected over the years.
He wants to avenge her only because of love. As for the identity of brother-in-law? He actually doesn’t care. In truth, he must admit, he is quite bitter and also resentful.
