Jiang Han then said, "General Lin, you have already thrown yourself at Che Chengyun once! I'm not a fool; I know you did this just to gain resources! So there's no need for you to put on a pitiful act in front of me, shedding tears!"
He turned to Cen Ya and continued, "Now that I've made myself clear with General Lin, Cen Ya, please take General Lin outside."
"Jiang Han! Is there really not even a sliver of hope left for me?" Lin Qingyue's tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at Jiang Han with a heart-wrenching gaze.
Jiang Han merely scoffed, "There’s no hope left. Please leave."
Lin Qingyue closed her eyes, unable to believe that the Jiang Han she once had the freedom to manipulate could be so ruthless. Yet, with Su Qianxue by Jiang Han's side, she felt utterly fearless. That kind of confidence was something she envied deeply; she wanted it for herself.
Taking a small step forward, Lin Qingyue grasped Jiang Han's collar and spoke through her sobs, "Jiang Han, I can be your servant; I can do anything for you. Please, at least give me a chance to make amends."
"You have no chance left!" Jiang Han replied firmly. "General Lin, this is impossible. I hope you won't hold onto unrealistic fantasies!"
After saying this, he noticed that Lin Qingyue still refused to leave. He crossed his arms and added, "Lin Qingyue, what you love are wealth and resources, along with military supplies! You don't love me as a person! If I didn’t provide these things to Su Qianxue, you wouldn’t even be acting this way."
"So don’t think of yourself as something precious or rare. The resources and supplies I possess can be given to Su Qianxue if I choose to; if not, I’d rather throw them outside the city for the dogs than give them to anyone else. You don’t deserve any of it."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Qingyue stood frozen in place, unable to comprehend Jiang Han's coldness. Yan Dong could hardly bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to say, "General Lin..."
" Shopkeeper Jiang has made himself very clear; if you had any sense of dignity at all, you should leave!"
" Shopkeeper Jiang is not a man you can have; I hope you know your worth," he added.
These words struck Lin Qingyue like a dagger to her heart. She staggered back two or three steps, staring at Jiang Han with desperation written all over her face.
Piao Xue approached with her arms crossed and said softly, "General Lin, the person you once discarded like trash is now out of reach! You envy everything my sister has—her confidence among the courtiers and her military supplies! But those are things you once had too; it’s just that you didn’t cherish them. So stop lingering here."
Ling Xue spoke directly, "Lin General, you really shouldn't be so shameless. Just leave, you're not welcome here."
Under repeated verbal assaults, Lin Qingyue retreated step by step until she reached the gate of the courtyard. Su Qianxue, witnessing this scene, sighed inwardly.
Shopkeeper Jiang was a man who understood things clearly. Being able to let go of past loves showed true resolve. To have such a man’s favor was truly a blessing from the late emperor and the protection of ancestors.
"Lin General!"
"Just go!"
Yan Dong displayed an impatient expression. She was extremely angry about the situation between Jiang Han and Lin Qingyue. Especially Lin Qingyue, who had regretted her marriage and sought out Che Chengyun, now shamelessly returning to beg Shopkeeper Jiang.
Women like her were hardly human; they acted like animals, seeking profit and avoiding harm. If there was benefit, they clung to their husbands; if not, they discarded them without a second thought, completely ignorant of what it meant to have a contract or trust.
"Lin General, please don't come here again!"
Yan Dong stepped forward, opened the courtyard gate, and coldly gestured for Lin Qingyue to leave.
Lin Qingyue looked despondently at everyone in the courtyard. Remembering the things Jiang Han had given Su Qianxue only deepened her heartache.
"Just go! Don't stay here!"
Ling Xue also stepped forward to drive Lin Qingyue away. She couldn't understand why Shopkeeper Jiang, such a good man, would rather offend Langya Prince than protect her. How could Lin Qingyue abandon such a man and then return with her tail between her legs seeking reconciliation? Even if Shopkeeper Jiang were to foolishly agree, Ling Xue couldn't bear to watch Jiang Han jump into a fire pit.
Moreover, Shopkeeper Jiang hadn't agreed to anything!
"Go on! Leave this place!"
Yan Dong and Ling Xue pushed and shoved Lin Qingyue out of the courtyard. Lin Qingyue unwillingly accepted being forced out.
With a loud bang, Yan Dong returned to the courtyard, and Ling Xue immediately shut the door, leaving Lin Qingyue with no chance to enter.
Lin Qingyue looked back at the closed gate, her heart heavy with sorrow. Why couldn’t she have a good man like that for herself? Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han, if only you had been a bit firmer when I made my demands, just like you are now. Then I wouldn’t have felt that you lacked masculinity and charm, and sought out Che Chengyun instead. But why are you only doing what you should have done back then now?
Lin Qingyue remained silent, but her mind was racing. She felt that the reason she and Jiang Han had come to this point was largely his fault. He hadn’t been strong enough in the face of her requests; he wouldn’t refuse her, and that lack of masculine allure was crucial. Yet now, Jiang Han possessed those qualities.
How could she easily give up? Those grains, those weapons—if she could obtain them, what did Su Qianxue matter?
Jiang Han, oh Jiang Han! I will make you change your mind.
Lin Qingyue secretly resolved to think carefully about how to win Jiang Han back. In the courtyard, Jiang Han witnessed this scene and sighed softly before sitting back down on the sofa.
Su Qianxue, however, turned directly to Cen Ya and said, “Cen Ya, women like Lin Qingyue should not be allowed in here anymore.”
She took on a maternal demeanor as she instructed the others. “Lin Qingyue only sees benefits; women like her are no different from animals. They lack humanity. From now on, if any of you see her, do not let her in!”
“Understood!”
“Got it, Sister!”
Ling Xue, Yan Dong, and Piao Xue all nodded earnestly in agreement.
Su Qianxue almost regarded herself as the mother of the household as she inquired about the sales situation of the tavern and the arrangement of the courtyard before finally returning to Jiang Han’s side.
Jiang Han said directly, “Go get the treasures; I’ll prepare thirty thousand sets of these for you.”
