Chapter 199 Discovered
Jiang Wanyue looked at her but didn't speak immediately.
Her quietness made Xiuchun even more panicked.
"Miss!"
Xiuchun called out the old name.
Jiang Wanyue sighed and turned to look at Aunt Sun.
"Godmother, please go out for a moment. I have something to say to Xiuchun alone."
Aunt Sun was a little worried, but she nodded and walked out the door.
After the door was closed, Jiang Wanyue withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiuchun.
She only said one sentence, and Xiuchun's heart trembled.
"Are you attracted to Lin Shuyan?"
Xiuchun's face suddenly lost all its color and turned as pale as snow.
Her body swayed and she lowered her head involuntarily.
"I... your servant..."
Xiuchun didn't know how to explain.
Jiang Wanyue didn't let her explain and interrupted her directly.
"I'm not blaming you, Lin Shuyan... It's nothing that you like a man like him. But you know that he is about to be engaged to Princess Jiayin. This marriage was arranged by the emperor when he was the Prince of Jing. His personality will not allow this to go wrong."
Jiang Wanyue's calm words made Xiuchun tremble all over, and she couldn't stop.
When Jiang Wanyue finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes already filled with tears.
"Miss, I never thought of marrying him, I just, just..."
Her voice was trembling and she tried hard to control it.
"It's just that I can't control my heart."
After saying this, she raised her hands to cover her face, letting the tears fall through her fingers.
Jiang Wanyue sighed again, reached out and patted her back, silently comforting her.
After a long time, Xiuchun seemed to have cried enough and calmed down a little, and Jiang Wanyue continued to speak.
"Did he give you this bracelet? What did he mean to you?"
In fact, yesterday, Jiang Wanyue was just guessing and couldn't be sure. But now when she heard Xiuchun say it, she felt indescribably complicated.
She was not angry with Xiuchun because of her past life with Lin Shuyan, she was just a little distressed.
There are so many things to like, but why do I like Lin Shuyan, my future prince consort?
Not to mention that the prince consort cannot take a concubine, even if he can, she would never agree to let Xiuchun be a concubine!
Not to mention the royal family, even the Lin family would not agree.
At this moment, an idea flashed through Jiang Wanyue's mind: how about finding a way to ruin this marriage?
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she rejected it.
She couldn't do it.
Given the sensitive relationship between her and Lin Shuyan as they had once been engaged, she couldn't get past Li Ce.
As Jiang Wanyue patted her gently, Xiuchun slowly put down her hands.
She wiped her tears.
"That bracelet was not given to me by Master Lin. I made an excuse to get him to buy it for me that day."
Her voice was faint and hoarse.
"In Mr. Lin's eyes, I have always been just a maidservant beside you, young lady. He was kind to me because of you, young lady. He came to me to inquire about you... I know everything. I never had any extravagant hopes. How could he possibly like me? Moreover, I swore in front of my godmother that I would never marry in this life..."
She took a breath.
"I just wanted to keep a thought in mind."
She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist and gave an unpleasant bitter smile.
"I didn't expect that you would find out all of a sudden."
Jiang Wanyue bit her lip.
"If you really like him, I will find a way to make him marry you!"
What princess? How can she be more important than Xiuchun?!
