Chapter 390: Different (I)

"Different road non-phase plan."

Jiang Shaohua's calm voice was cold: "Wang Jin, you and I are not on the same path. We will only be political enemies and opponents to each other in the future."

Wang Jin turned around and looked at Jiang Shaohua. His handsome face was a little pale, but his black eyes flashed with an unprecedented fiery light: "Your Highness, it's too arbitrary to say that. The world is unpredictable. Today's political enemy may be tomorrow's ally, and the opponent may also become a fellow traveler."

Jiang Shaohua pulled the corner of his mouth: "How naive and ridiculous this is. The grudge between this princess and Prime Minister Wang is known to everyone. This princess can't think of any time, place or opportunity to resolve it."

Wang Jin stared at Jiang Shaohua's eyes and lowered his voice very low: "My princess should know that I am the future head of the Wang family. Don't you want to bring the Wang family under your command and make it your greatest help?"

Jiang Shaohua: "..."

Jiang Shaohua never expected Wang Jin to say such a thing, and his expression paused slightly.

"The roads in this world are made by people. If you want to walk the same road together, there is always a way." Wang Jin's dark eyes locked onto Jiang Shaohua's face, not missing the slightest change in her expression: "I came to Nanyang County to tell you my feelings in person."

"I know that you, my princess, have lofty ambitions and a heart for the world. I, Wang Jin, also have ambitions and aspirations. Why can't we walk the same path?"

Jiang Shaohua came back to his senses from the shock and asked a very sharp question: "According to what you said, who is the master and who is the deputy?"

Wang Jin was silent.

"You may be willing to be inferior to me, but is the entire Wang family willing as well?" Jiang Shaohua said calmly, "Don't forget, you are only the fourth son of the Wang family, a seventh-rank official. It is still a long time before you can take charge of the Wang family. You are not qualified to represent the Wang family. It's better not to say anything about this."

"Besides, after ten or twenty years, things will have changed and people's hearts will change. How can you guarantee that your feelings will not change? Why should I take risks for an elusive promise?"

Wang Jin was speechless and could only remain silent.

Jiang Shaohua finally made another sharp attack: "There is one more important point. Even if I am willing to take the risk, how do you plan to convince your father? I will not marry. If you want to walk with me, you must marry into my Nanyang Palace. Will Prime Minister Wang agree? Are the Wang family willing?"

Of course not.

The Wang family is the first family in Daliang, with a history of hundreds of years and a profound heritage. For such a family, let alone him being the future head of the family, even if he is an ordinary son, there is no way they would allow him to be a son-in-law.

Prime Minister Wang would never allow it.

There is no way the Wang family would agree to this.

Wang Jin's eyes darkened, and he managed to say a few words with difficulty: "There will always be a way when the time comes."

"What's the solution?" Jiang Shaohua laughed sarcastically, "Persuade me to give in temporarily, marry into the Wang family, and endure for 20 to 30 years. When you become the head of the family, I will become the mistress of the Wang family. Can we work together as a couple and take charge of the Wang family?"

"Wang Jin, I'm going to tell you clearly one last time. I won't marry anyone. If you want to be my husband, you can only marry into the Nanyang Palace. Otherwise, don't tell me your feelings, let alone talk about walking the same path."

"I, Jiang Shaohua, have my own path to follow. I don't intend to and will not accommodate others, and I will not follow the path arranged for me by others."

After saying that, Jiang Shaohua walked away.

Wang Jin, with a pale face, stood there silently, watching Jiang Shaohua's figure go away, with intense pain flashing in his eyes.

This result was actually expected. But he just refused to accept it and insisted on coming to Nanyang County to see her and confess his feelings to her.

The result was just as expected. He and she could not go the same way after all. …

Jiang Shaohua's mood was not as calm and peaceful as he appeared.

After all, he was her husband in her previous life, and they were in harmony for a few years after they got married. Moreover, she had once given birth to a son for him. Wang Jin was like an old scar to her, and it always hurt when she touched it.

"The princess!"

Jiang Shaohua stopped and turned to look over: "What's the matter?"

The one who came to report the matter was one of Chen Changshi's attendants. Seeing that the princess didn't look too good, the attendant didn't dare to say anything more: "Chen Changshi sent me to ask the princess if she wants to accompany the fourth son of Wang out of the palace today."

No matter what, the visitor is a guest. Wang Jin is the emperor's confidant and the youngest son of Prime Minister Wang. Neither of these two identities can be neglected.

Jiang Shaohua calmed down and said, "All matters concerning hospitality will be decided by Chen Changshi. There is no need to consult this princess for instructions."

In other words, the princess does not intend to greet the Fourth Master Wang personally.

The chief attendant understood what he meant and left after accepting the order.

After hearing this, Chen Changshi nodded and quickly arranged the itinerary. He personally accompanied the fourth son of the Wang family around Nanyang County for a day.

Wang Jin cheered up and not wanting to show his dejection and loneliness, he traveled with Chen Changshi for a day.

For two consecutive days, Chen Changshi accompanied him in person.

Wang Jin was a little disappointed and couldn't help asking, "Chen Changshi, is the princess not free today?"

Chen Changshi replied calmly, "Nanyang County has many affairs to attend to. The princess has to stay in the palace every day to deal with various trivial matters. She is not free for the time being. I am really sorry, Mr. Wang."

By addressing him by his official title, he was reminding Wang Sheren that you are only a seventh-rank Sheren, and I, the fifth-rank Chief Clerk of the Royal Palace, am personally accompanying you, which is already giving you enough face.

Even if he was given the honorific title of Fourth Young Master Wang, there was no reason for the dignified Princess Nanyang to accompany him in person.

Wang Jin hit a snag and felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was young and shy, so he was too embarrassed to mention the princess again, and quickly changed the subject: "The new grain production in Nanyang County is extremely high, which has saved countless people this year. I wonder who planted the new grain? Can Chen Changshi take me to see it?"

As the news of Nanyang County's new grains flourishing in the court spread rapidly in the north, Cui Du's existence was no longer a secret. At least, in Nanyang County, everyone knew that Master Cui was the one who contributed greatly to the production of new grains.

Chen Changshi's mind flashed, and he smiled cordially at the Fourth Master Wang, "I can't make a decision on this matter, I have to ask the princess for instructions."

Wang Jin responded gracefully, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Chen."

Chen Changshi went to see the princess in person and mentioned Wang Jin's request: "...Mr. Cui returned to the farm last night. Mr. Wang wants to see Mr. Cui. I wonder if the princess will agree to it?"

Jiang Shaohua had obviously thought about this problem a long time ago: "This princess is planning to go to the farm. Wang Sheren wants to go, so let him go with us."

Chen Changshi gave the princess a meaningful look and said, "Now, Master Cui can no longer hide and will be exposed to the public."

Cui Du’s importance to Nanyang County is self-evident.

Jiang Shaohua smiled faintly: "Cui Du is not an object, he has his own ideas and will. If he wants to leave, this princess can't stop him. If he wants to stay, no one can take him away."
