Jiang Yuwei After returning to the mansion, she felt a mix of emotions, unable to shake off the contents of those letters from her mind. She knew deep down that these letters were closely tied to her past, and the fact that Jing Wang had them made her uneasy. She couldn't stay silent any longer and decided to personally confront Jing Wang to find out why he had those letters.
The next morning, Jiang Yuwei dressed in simple attire, with minimal adornments that complemented her cool demeanor. She left the mansion in a carriage, and as it slowly made its way through the bustling streets, Jiang Yuwei gazed at the passing scenery with a calmness that belied the turmoil within her. She was no longer the girl who would be flustered by trivial matters; time had given her composure and courage, teaching her to face and accept.
The carriage eventually stopped in front of The Jingshi Prince's Mansion. After getting off, Jiang Yuwei took a deep breath and walked into the mansion that had once deeply hurt her. The guards at the mansion immediately saluted and made way for her, but Jiang Yuwei paid them no heed and continued forward.
She arrived at Jing Wang's study and pushed the door open directly. The study was very quiet, and Jing Wang was sitting at the desk, with a slight frown on his face, seemingly dealing with a tricky matter. Jiang Yuwei's appearance broke the eerie silence. Jing Wang looked up, and their eyes met. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he hadn't expected her to come to him, a look that made Jiang Yuwei feel disgusted. "Yuwei, why are you here?" Jing Wang's voice carried a hint of joy and surprise. He put down the pen in his hand and walked towards Jiang Yuwei, as if her arrival had brought him a rare surprise.
Jiang Yuwei walked over to the chair opposite Jing Wang and sat down, then cut to the chase and asked, "Alright, stop pretending. Why do you have those letters in your possession?" Her tone was calm and firm, as if stating a fact she already knew.
Jing Wang put down the pen in his hand, looked into Jiang Yuwei's eyes, and slowly sat down, saying, "I obtained those letters from an old acquaintance. He told me that these letters are related to you and may involve some unknown secrets. I was worried that these letters would bring trouble to you, so I had them sent to Mr. Su's residence."
Listening to Jing Wang's explanation, Jiang Yuwei's gaze was sharp, as if trying to see through his words into his heart. She didn't believe Jing Wang, especially his feigned surprise, which made her even more disgusted. "Ji Sheng, your deception is becoming more and more clumsy." Jiang Yuwei's voice was cold and firm, her gaze sharp as a knife piercing Jing Wang, "Those letters, I have already burned them to ashes with my own hands. The letters in your possession, where did they come from?"
Ji Sheng understood that continuing to weave lies would only give himself away, so he unhesitatingly removed his disguise. With a cold smile, he said, "I know everything about your every move."
Ji Sheng's words made Jiang Yuwei furrow her brow, feeling a chill rising from the soles of her feet straight to her heart. She had never imagined that every move of hers was under Ji Sheng's control. This sense of being monitored made her extremely uncomfortable, and her resentment towards Ji Sheng grew stronger.
Jiang Yuwei angrily stared at Ji Sheng Wang, her voice filled with strong questioning, "What do you mean by this? Have you been monitoring me all along?"
Ji Sheng looked at Jiang Yuwei's angry eyes, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart. It was as if he could see the little girl he had once toyed with in the palm of his hand. He smirked and responded, "How can you call it surveillance? I'm just caring for you." His smile grew more sinister. "I have people placed in both Su Mansion and Jiang Mansion. I know everything about your every move."
Jiang Yuwei's face instantly turned pale, waves of anger and coldness surged within her. She struggled to suppress her emotions, not wanting to lose control in front of Ji Sheng. She couldn't believe that the person she had once deeply loved now seemed so unfamiliar and terrifying. "Caring for me?" Jiang Yuwei's voice carried sarcasm and pain. "Is this your idea of caring? Treating me as your puppet, manipulating me at will?" Her eyes were filled with disappointment and anger.
Watching Jiang Yuwei's reaction, Ji Sheng's smile revealed a cruel satisfaction. He seemed to enjoy the feeling of manipulating others. He casually said, "How can you call it a puppet? At most, you're just a pawn."
His words were like a sharp knife, piercing deep into Jiang Yuwei's heart. A pawn? Was she just a pawn to be manipulated at will in his eyes? Jiang Yuwei felt a sharp pain, as the beautiful moments she once had with him vanished in an instant.
Jiang Yuwei's heart ached as if being torn apart. She couldn't believe that the promises and beauty of the past were so insignificant in Ji Sheng's eyes. Were all those shared moments, late-night conversations, trust, and reliance just a charade?
She stared at Ji Sheng, trying to erase those painful images from her mind. However, those memories were deeply ingrained like a brand, impossible to easily erase. She felt her world collapsing, everything becoming so unfamiliar and cold.
Jiang Yuwei took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions. Her gaze was firm and cold, determined to show Ji Sheng her resolve and courage. She slowly lifted her head, her voice revealing determination and indifference: "Ji Sheng, you are wrong. I am not your puppet, nor your pawn. You just want the military token in my hand, don't you? Let me tell you, unless I die! You will never get it!"
Ji Sheng's smile gradually froze under Jiang Yuwei's determined gaze. His face darkened, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. He stared at Jiang Yuwei, trying to intimidate her with his eyes, to make her submit. However, Jiang Yuwei's gaze was exceptionally resolute, fearlessly meeting Ji Sheng's, as if telling him that she would not back down.
Ji Sheng fell silent for a moment, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He knew Jiang Yuwei was stubborn and would not easily yield to him. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions. Then, in a calm and cruel tone, he said, "Jiang Yuwei, do you really think you can resist me? Don't forget! Although the Jiang family has no descendants, its subordinates are loyal and commendable. If I want to deal with them, it's as easy as turning my hand. If you don't want them to be implicated, you'd better hand over the military token obediently."
Jiang Yuwei listened to Ji Sheng's words, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She knew that Ji Sheng was not lying, he did have the ability to destroy everything the Jiang family had. However, this time she would not back down.
"Ji Sheng, you are wrong," Jiang Yuwei said coldly, "You think you have control over everything, but in reality, you know nothing. You think you can threaten me, but in truth, you are just afraid. You are afraid that this military power will be beyond your control."
Ji Sheng looked at her, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected Jiang Yuwei to be so resolute, so determined. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. Then, he smiled coldly and said, "Fine, let's see how long you can hold out. But I can assure you, as long as you hand over the military token, I can guarantee their safety."
Jiang Yuwei listened to his words with a cold sneer in her heart. She knew that Ji Sheng was someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and his promises were nothing but empty words. However, she would not back down this time, she would not compromise. Taking a deep breath, she spoke with determination and indifference, " Ji Sheng, you're wrong. You think you can control everything, but in reality, you're just a pawn on the chessboard." With that, she turned and walked away.
As Jiang Yuwei left, Ji Sheng's face darkened completely. He stared at her retreating figure, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light. Because Jiang Yuwei's words had thoroughly angered him.
