Chapter 104

Jiang Yu was indeed distant toward Wan'er, and Wan'er was not imagining things. In her previous life, how did Jiang Yingxi and Jiang Xueshu manage to hook up with Xuanyuan Ling? At that time, Xuanyuan Ling was completely focused on the struggle for the throne; he had no heart for romance. His interactions with Jiang Yu were merely a performance. Later, after she was imprisoned, Jiang Yingxi and Jiang Xueshu became an Empress and a consort respectively. Jiang Yu suspected this was due to Madam Zhao’s son, Jiang Zifeng. Jiang Zifeng was a fascinating character. While traveling for his studies, he had befriended some eccentric and talented individuals, using his glib tongue to win them over. During a flood in the Southwest Region, Jiang Zifeng had relied on Jiang Yu’s analysis and suggestions; through a stroke of luck, the strategy he proposed actually resolved the flooding. Consequently, the Emperor granted him a post, and somehow, Jiang Zifeng later became one of Xuanyuan Ling’s men. At that time, Jiang Zifeng had claimed to treat Jiang Yu as his own sister, and Jiang Yu had trusted this brother who was close to her in age.
