ATSWM Chapter 23.2

Chapter 23.2 Little Sister Became Crafty

    Although this battle cannot be fought, there is also no need to stay longer at this place. 

   King Sang’s party did not travel south to the Capital of Sang. Instead, they headed east all the way because the Emperor had sent an escort emissary out to guide King Sang to go to Tiandu to plead guilty. 

   Rushing from Sang state to Tiandu, they need to cross the eastern border of Jiang state. At the junction of the two states, King Sang ordered the troops to return. He took his pair of son and daughter, as well as a hundred personal guards, and followed the escort emissary into the boundary of Jiang state. 

   Sang Chengming had escaped to the territory of Han state. The Sang clan was unable to search with great fanfare and could only ask Han Shaoling to deal with the matter. 

   King Sang and Crown Prince Sang were both big hearted and didn’t consider this matter as a big deal. They just frequently scolded Sang Chengming and Han Shaoling together. 

   Listening to this, Sang Yuanyuan felt that the father and son even hoped that Sang Chengming could escape from Han Shaoling’s hands and would fall back into King Sang’s hand in the future to deal with him by his own family’s rule. 

   The father and son did not rush to get close to Sang Yuanyuan, but carefully came to her from time to time to show their faces. 

   Sang Yuanyuan also gradually relaxed her mind. 

   Just letting nature take its course. 

   In the face of these eyes that were full of affection, how could she bear to let them know that although their family’s member is close by, they are already separated forever. 

   Two days later, King Sang’s party entered the Capital of Jiang. 

   Crown Prince Sang’s expression was a bit ugly. He said that his legs hurt and he couldn’t ride the cloud beast. Then he blatantly loitered into Sang Yuanyuan’s carriage .

   After he got into the carriage, he also didn’t talk much. 

   Sang Yuanyuan saw him sitting on one side with a face full of awkwardness, so she leaned forward and asked softly, “Brother, what’s the matter?” 

   Crown Prince Sang said: “This time, with you and Han Shaoling divorced, Jiang Jinzhen will definitely be utterly shameless and stick himself up again. Brother is worried that you are thin skinned, so it’s not easy for you to scold him! Bah, that thing, he doesn’t deserve to say even half a word to you!” 

   Jiang Jinzhen. 

   The son of King Jiang. 

   A true, real dandy and extremely lecherous. Never rest no matter where he goes. In the book, he fell in love with Meng Wuyou at first sight, entangling her till she cried out no tears. 

   It can also be regarded as an emotional catalyst between Han Shaoling and Meng Wuyou. 

   Sang Yuanyuan understood now. Crown Prince Sang is here to become a doorkeeper to block peach blossom[1] for her. 

   She laughed: “It’s also not good for Brother to go too far. After all, the Jiang clan is the Emperor’s maternal family, so we still have to leave some face for them.” 

   The current King of Jiang state is the shu[2] brother of Jiang Yanji, the Emperor of Tiandu. Crown Prince Jiang, Jiang Jinzhen, is also the Emperor’s nephew and a first cousin on the paternal side of Jiang Jinyuan. However, Jiang Jinyuan is of a di[3] lineage, and Jiang Jinzhen is of a shu branch. 

   Crown Prince Sang didn’t take it seriously : “Be rest assured. If he doesn’t go too far, I’ll let him go. ” 

   Very perfunctorily. 

   Sang Yuanyuan can only smile bitterly and shake her head. 

   Jiang Jinzhen won’t dare to be too rude to her. After all, she was the daughter of King Sang, and not that kind like Meng Wuyou, a little white flower of commoners that was without any support. 

   Jiang Jinzhen, at most, would just squeeze in front of her to have more conversation. 

   Originally, their party did not have to stay in the Capital of Jiang, but since the escort emissary had brought them here, it must have been the Jiang state had used their brains and played tricks, wanted to, as soon as possible, start booking Sang Yuanyuan after her divorce.
