about to roll his eyes at these words, but before he could say anything, a voice as sweet as a yellow oriole drifted over, "You call them vulgar men Don't you think your status is lower than theirs"S...Thinking of this, An Xuetang slightly narrowed her eyes. She looked at Jiang Qingyang with a vague meaning, and suddenly said:
"It has been several years since the day the Ye family and the Anle Houfu arranged their marriage. If you were truly willing to help Xiaoqin, wouldn't you have acted already"
"...."
Jiang Qingyang was taken aback by An Xuetang's sharp question. Obviously, he hadn't expected An Xuetang to ask such a direct question.
An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing both stared at him with sharp eyes, waiting for an answer.
Jiang Qingyang moved his lips, wanting to explain several times, but when the words reached his mouth, he didn't know where to begin.
He felt like his thoughts were being seen through by the intense, naked gazes of An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing. His face was burning red with embarrassment.
Moments later, she finally spoke, "I... Qiner's marriage was bestowed by the Emperor. I... I have no power or influence, what can I possibly do to oppose him"
Hearing him say that, An Xuetang felt like she had heard a huge joke. She couldn't help but smile, and the sarcasm in her smile made Jiang Qingyang extremely uncomfortable.
An Xuetang's sharp eyes stared at him, "Jiang Qingyang, some things being self-deceived really isn't fun. Even if walking the righteous path can't save Xiao Qin, you have plenty of backdoor methods in your mind. It's just that you're unwilling to do so!"
Her words were not random. In this world, there were no cell phones, no internet, and the emperor never left the palace. Given the capabilities of the Jiang family and Anle Marquis's mansion, it would be too easy for Xiaoqin to fake her death and disappear from sight.
And in this world, women rarely leave the house. If Jiang Qingyang didn't care about power or reputation, he could have disguised Xiao Qin as an anonymous country girl and married her, keeping her hidden away in the backyard.
Most of the aristocratic ladies in Beijing are snobbish and only befriend those who are advantageous to them. If they knew that Jiang Qingyang's wife was a country girl, they generally wouldn't visit her.
But Jiang Qingyang had never taken action all these years, which meant that in his heart, Xiaoqin was actually not worth him doing so.
Seeing Jiang Qingyang like this, An Xuetang completely gave up on the idea of matchmaking him and Xiao Qin.
Jiang Qingyang has been helping Mo Yunchen these years, which means he also values power. People who don't value power won't take sides, but he did. He not only joined Mo Yunchen's side, but he also made a huge contribution to this team.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyang had no outstanding abilities in his official career. Even now, he was so indifferent to Xiao Qin. If he truly gained power in the future, would he not have three wives and four concubines
Have there been few examples of men changing their hearts after gaining power throughout history
Even in a world where men rule, even in the 21st century, wielding power and enjoying the company of beautiful women is almost every man's dream.
Thinking about this, An Xuetang couldn't help but smile again. Seeing Jiang Qingyang move his lips as if wanting to say something, she raised her hand to stop him:
"Don't say any more. Whether this concubine and the King of Beijiang help or not is our business, it has nothing to do with you. Even if we lend a hand, it's not because you begged the King of Beijiang today."
After finishing her sentence, An Xue Tang raised her head to look at Mo Yun Jing, a gentle smile blooming on her face. Her usually cold voice softened, “A-Jing, let’s go home.”
Mo Yunjing nodded slightly, "Good."
After Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang left, Jiang Qingyang got up. She didn't really understand where An Xuetang's hostility towards her came from today.
I wasn't unfamiliar with interacting with An Xue Tang before, but this was the first time she showed such impatience and...condescension in front of me.
Yes, he finally understood what An Xuetang's eyes meant when she left, it was contempt, contempt and mockery towards him.
But why
He didn't seem to have done anything, did he Why was An Xuetang looking at him like that
No matter how Jiang Qingyang thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. But as he pondered, he remembered the way King Beijang defended An Xue Tang.
Perhaps... An Xue Tang looked down on him because he failed to protect the woman he loved
But he wasn't a prince, nor a war god. How many people in this world could be as indifferent to anyone and everything as the Northern Border King
Jiang Qingyang chuckled self-deprecatingly. If he had the status and abilities of King Beijang, he wouldn't be here today begging for help from King Beijang.
An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing walked out of the wine shop. Mo Yunjing turned his head to look at the woman beside him and said softly, "Are you really not going to continue shopping"
Today was supposed to be a day of shopping, but they hadn't even walked far before encountering Xiaoqin's matter, so she probably wasn't fortunate.
An Xue Tang still had matters concerning the Ye family and Xiao Qin on her mind. Right now, she didn't really have the heart to continue shopping, but hearing Mo Yun Jing ask like this, she subconsciously looked up at the pedestrians on the street.
I have to say, it's still quite lively here.
Thinking of how hard Mo Yunjing had finally made time to accompany her shopping, she immediately beamed at him, "A-Jing, let's keep shopping."
Mo Yunjing curled his lips into a slight smile, "Good."
One person continued to stroll through the bustling street. After a while, Ning'er's expression turned solemn.
Yunliu poked her with his arm. They looked at each other, and Ning'er didn't get angry at his touch, which was rare.
From Yunliu's eyes, Ning'er saw what he wanted to do and nodded immediately.
A few people continued walking forward for a few steps, Yun Liu turned in one direction, and Ning'er also turned in another direction.
The two quickly disappeared behind Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang.
Both Yunliu and Ninger could detect that someone was following them. As for Moyunjing and An Xuetang, they were even more aware of it. However, the two of them knew very well that the people following them were nothing to be concerned about. With Yunliu and Ninger around, they had absolutely nothing to worry about.
And indeed it was so, Ning'er and Yunliu, after parting ways, quickly cornered their pursuers in a secluded spot.
The pursuers were divided into two groups. When they realized they had been discovered, they tried to flee, but Yunliu and Ning'er did not give them a chance.
Yun Liu and Ning'er almost effortlessly subdued the group of people, tying them together.
In a short while, Mo Yunjing led An Xuetang slowly over. When they got closer, Ning'er took out a bottle and swept it under the noses of those people.
Soon, those people woke up slowly. As soon as they opened their eyes and saw Mo Yunjing, their faces changed slightly.
Mo Yunjing's gaze, as cold as the depths of a winter abyss, swept over them before settling on Yun Liu.
Yunliu nodded slightly and immediately started to pressure the person into confessing.
Soon, some people couldn't stand the pressure from Yunliu's interrogation and revealed everything they knew.
They were all originally outlaws who, by chance, met Master Ming Deng. It was Master Ming Deng himself who told them that the Northern Border Princess was the Chosen One, and whoever obtained the Northern Border Princess would rule the world.nd having enough money, he's turning his back on them, wanting to get rid of them quicklyBut how could they possibly think, no matter how hard they looked, that this young master would turn out to be...
