She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

She wanted her father to know her despair, to know the cruelty Madam Jiang had shown her over the years, and to know that she had nowhere to turn.

She also wanted everyone in the capital to know that she would rather give up the noble status of "Miss Jiang" and become a helpless orphan than return to the Jiang family, because every day in the Jiang family was filled with bullying and scheming.

She wants Madam Jiang to pay the price for everything she has done over the past seven years!

Even if I want to go back.

It would take the entire Jiang family to invite her, especially Madam Jiang!

……

The following evening.

Princess Xinyang, who was pregnant, and the Gongsun family arrived in haste.

Their loved ones and beloved husbands, who had come back from the dead, were all moved to tears.

"It's good that you're alright." Princess Xinyang's lips trembled. She reached out her hand to touch her husband's face, but dared not, afraid that he would reject her, afraid that he would disappear. "It's good that you're alive."

Gongsun Changming looked at the beautiful woman with a noble air in front of him. His eyes were so excited and his movements so careful. His heart was pounding in his chest. It was palpitations and reluctance.

He thought that they must have had a deep relationship before, so even though he had lost his memory, he would still be moved when he saw her again.

After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took his wife's hand, pressed it against his face, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "When we return to the capital, have the imperial physician treat me with acupuncture. I will remember."

Princess Xinyang gently stroked her husband's face with her fingers. He had become thinner, darker, and rougher, but he looked healthy and his skin was warm. "Don't force yourself. It's okay if you can't remember. We still have a future, and we can still have decades of shared memories."

She took his hand and placed it on his protruding belly.

"Minglang, this is our child, seven months old. Minglang, we can welcome its birth together."

Gongsun Changming felt the baby move, and an indescribable emotion instantly filled every subtle sense: "Our...child!"

Eyes facing each other.

Princess Xinyang's eyes welled up with tears of joy.

The curve of Gongsun Changming's lips was also full of hope and happiness.

His heart, which seemed to be adrift on the vast ocean, finally returned to its rightful shore.

Looking into the eyes of the two people, Jiang Ruining felt a sense of reality when she saw the phrase, "People who like each other will fall in love at first sight even if they have amnesia."

The couple in the book seem to be in a pure love relationship. They've been attracted to each other since childhood, but they're both pouty and reserved, so neither of them knows the other's feelings. It was Xiao Che, the cold-blooded and ruthless demon, who arranged their marriage, and they ended up being a couple by accident.

They were happy until the end, with both a son and a daughter.

Then look at Gongsun Changming, who came back from the dead, with so many family members rushing to pick him up, their eyes filled with the joy of having something lost and found again. It's truly enviable.

If she were to come back to life...

She'll probably only get Madam Jiang's regretful gaze and angry questions, asking why she didn't die! Asking why she's hiding and not showing up, whether she's deliberately trying to make her the target of gossip.

"Miss Jiang?"

After the initial excitement.

The Gongsun family finally noticed Jiang Ruining standing to the side.

They were all startled.

"Didn't you fall off a cliff?"

Jiang Ruining had already crafted a perfect excuse, which had even passed the scrutiny of Xiao Che, a master of finding flaws.

"After falling off the cliff, I got tangled in some vines. There was a rushing current below the cliff, so I didn't die after falling. I was swept into the river mouth by the current and was rescued by a merchant ship. They then took me to the nearest dock."

"You all know a little about my family situation... Since I'm 'dead,' I don't want to go back. After settling down for the time being, I went to the county town to see if I could find a job. I never expected to meet a prince and his son-in-law in one day."

He fell off a cliff while praying for his mother, survived by falling into the water, and went to the place where Gongsun Changming had lost his memory because of the unrest at home and didn't want to go home. He also met the regent who came to investigate the case... One link after another, missing any link would have made it impossible to find him and save him.

Who dares to say this isn't the most wonderful fate between people?

It was Heaven guiding the Gongsun family to stand firm in their position.

Princess Xinyang turned her head to the side, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stepped forward and took Jiang Ruining's hand, feeling grateful and heartbroken: "Good sister, from now on, the Princess's residence will be your home. If you don't mind, be my sister, and I will protect you from now on."

Jiang Ruining was taken aback, then shook her head: "My reputation isn't good..."

Princess Xinyang tightened her grip on her hand: "I don't listen to what others say, I only look at what you do. In my eyes, you are thoughtful and kind, a truly wonderful girl."

Let's strike while the iron is hot.

Under the witness of the Great Demon King Xiao Che, Jiang Ruining swore an oath to become the god-sister of Princess Xinyang.

Because of her highest status, it is naturally the most meaningful thing to recognize her as a godfather!

Jiang Ruining sweetly called her, "Sister!"

Princess Xinyang was five years older than her, and she looked at her with great affection: "Go back to the capital! If you don't want to go back to the Jiang family, stay at the Princess's residence."

Jiang Ruining lowered her eyes and shook her head: "It's too suffocating in the Jiang residence. I want to stay a few more days to clear my head."

Xiao Che replied naturally, "I happen to have some business to attend to, so I won't be returning to the capital for the time being. I'll check on her along the way. This place is a mixed bag, and given your pregnancy, it would be best for you to return to the capital sooner rather than later."

Xin Yang nodded trustingly: "Brother is right, then I'll trouble you to take care of Ning Ning."

Xiao Che nodded.

Jiang Ruining looked at the two of them. Although they didn't seem close, their relationship was still very deep. Xiao Che had given his younger sister plenty of protection, status, and wealth. Xin Yang also knew that he treated her differently and trusted him a lot.

That's very enviable.

Minister Gongsun bowed deeply to Xiao Che and Jiang Ruining with a solemn expression: "Thank you, Your Highness and Miss Jiang, for finding Changming and saving him."

"Such great kindness and generosity are beyond the means of the Gongsun family to repay. If you ever need our help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. We will do our utmost without a word of complaint!"

These words were undoubtedly a declaration of loyalty.

Jiang Ruining was a little dazed.

The opportunity that should have belonged to the male protagonist was stolen by her, Xiao Che, and the two major villains, and the plot went further and further in an absurd direction.

However, later in the book, the Empress Dowager's faction and the male protagonist's faction constantly schemed and sowed discord in order to win over Minister Gongsun, leading to numerous misunderstandings between the siblings and ultimately causing them to turn against each other.

Xiao Che noticed the regret that flashed in her eyes, but remained expressionless.

After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Xinyang and the Gongsun family.

He finally managed to ask, "What secrets do you know about the Gongsun family?"

Jiang Ruining blinked, surprised that he asked so quickly: "The Empress Dowager's faction and His Majesty's pawns will definitely try every means to sow discord between you and Minister Gongsun, and between you and Sister Xinyang."

"If someone is framed and kills the family of another minister under your command, you will have to make a decision. What will you do?"

Two ministers under his command.

One family hurt the other.

What should I do?

Xiao Che frowned; this was a difficult situation!

No matter how he decides, he'll offend the other party, causing them to resent him and waver in their stance.

Jiang Ruining continued, "Although you and the Gongsun family will also focus on simple-minded individuals, the purpose of using hidden cards is precisely to make them unpredictable and difficult to defend against, isn't it?"

Xiao Che nodded, agreeing with her analysis: "The hidden pawn, do you know who it is?"
