The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 236 Si Ning, that bastard!

Jiang Jinshuang was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Who told you that marriage is such a big deal?"

Yan Jue said in a deep voice, "That Si Ning told me that he also said that once you get married, he won't want me anymore."

Jiang Jinshuang: "..."

Si Ning, that bastard!

The next time she sees her, she'll definitely chop his bones and skin him alive!
—Is this something you should say to a child?!
"How could that be! Si Ning was just joking with you!" Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly explained.

Her beautiful lips were pressed into a line. Yan Jue looked at Jiang Jinshuang, her pupils slightly round, looking like an abandoned puppy.

“That Si Ning also said that after you get married, your husband will beat and scold me, and you will still side with him and not speak up for me.”

Jiang Jinshuang: "..."

Peeling off the skin isn't enough, let's pull out the cramps.

That bastard Si Ning, what did he say to Yan Jue?!
"No, no!" Jiang Jinshuang was on the verge of tears, and could only keep coaxing, "How could I not want you? What is my husband anyway? How can he compare to our great Lord Yanjue!"

Yan Jue gripped the hilt of the sword with one hand.

The hand gripping the sword hilt tightened slightly, revealing some beautiful blue veins.

His eyes looked watery; anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one being bullied.

A just and upright official!

She's clearly the most pitiful one!

"Si Ning also said..."

"Alright, alright, Si Ning won't say anymore, Si Ning, shut up," Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly waved her hand, stopping Yan Jue from saying what she was about to say, "Do you believe Si Ning or me?"

Yan Jue pursed her lips slightly, looking somewhat angry.

He looked at her for a long time before finally speaking: "You're getting married, but you didn't tell me."

Does that mean her credibility with him is now very limited?

Jiang Jinshuang wanted to cry but had no tears.

She was still holding a book in her hand when she sat down at the stone table under the ginkgo tree.

Jiang Jinshuang placed the bamboo slips on the stone table and gestured for Yanjue to sit down.

Yan Jue lowered his eyes, glanced at the stone bench, and finally moved onto it.

He stood upright, looking straight ahead.

He refused to look at her.

Jiang Jinshuang was both amused and exasperated, and could only explain, "I am getting married, but nothing will be different after the marriage. Yanjue will still be Yanjue, and I can't possibly abandon you for my husband."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue frowned slightly, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice, "Then if he beats or scolds me, whose side will you take?"

Without a second thought, Jiang Jinshuang confidently replied, "Of course I'll help you!"

—Although Jiang Jinshuang didn't think Lin Qingyan could beat Yan Jue.

As if he had received a satisfactory answer, Yan Jue slightly raised his chin, and his gaze finally fell on her.

"Then why did you get married?" he asked again.

Jiang Jinshuang scratched her head.

"How should I explain this to you..."

Jiang Jinshuang pondered for a moment, then gestured with her hands to explain: "For example, there are some things that I might find difficult to do myself, but it would be much easier for someone else to do them."

“After I marry him, he will give me this opportunity to help me accomplish this.”

"That's why I'm going to marry him, do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue frowned slightly, as if pondering Jiang Jinshuang's words.

After a long pause, he asked with some confusion, "But you can do anything."

Jiang Jinshuang: "..."

This left Jiang Jinshuang speechless. She paused for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Really? Am I so omnipotent in Lord Yanjue's eyes?"

Yan Jue didn't seem to think he had said anything funny. He just nodded seriously: "You are capable of anything."

She was capable of everything.

She's incredibly capable; there's nothing she can't do if she sets her mind to it.

She doesn't need to get married, and she's capable of anything.

Hearing Yan Jue say this, Jiang Jinshuang smiled gently and patiently explained, "I was just using an analogy. What I meant was that I got married because it would benefit me."

That explanation seems simpler, and Yan Jue understood.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Then you can marry me."

Jiang Jinshuang thought she had misheard and stared wide-eyed: "What did you say?"

Yan Jue felt that what he said made a lot of sense, and even nodded with great certainty, looking at her seriously: "Because there are also benefits to marrying me."

Jiang Jinshuang knew that Yan Jue did not understand the meaning of marriage. Hearing him say this, Jiang Jinshuang nodded leisurely, suppressing a laugh: "Then tell me, what are the benefits of marrying you?"

Yan Jue said, "I am very obedient. I am your best male concubine."

Jiang Jinshuang was both amused and exasperated: "But what can I do? I've already promised someone else, so I can't marry Yan Jue."

Yan Jue seemed to have thought of this as well. He frowned and thought for a long time before slowly saying, "You can marry him first, and then marry me. We can do it secretly and not tell anyone else."

Jiang Jinshuang could barely contain her smile.

Everyone said that Princess Zhaoming was licentious and had a large number of male lovers.

Only Yan Jue would dare to let her get married twice.

After laughing enough, Jiang Jinshuang wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and explained, "That inkstone technique is different. My marriage to him was based on mutual benefit, but our relationship is different. I won't use you, and you won't use me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue frowned slightly: "Is marriage about mutual exploitation?"

Jiang Jinshuang thought for a moment and said seriously, "You could say that, at least that's how my marriage is."

Jiang Jinshuang believed that there were indeed lovers in the world who were truly sincere and wanted to grow old together in harmony and spend the rest of their lives in mutual respect.

However, that kind of person wouldn't be Jiang Jinshuang.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue said seriously, "Then let's not get married. Even if we don't get married, you can still control me."

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and said, "Yan Jue is really clever."

The little wolf cub was pleased to be praised.

He pursed his lips slightly, suppressing the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Then she transformed into a well-behaved and obedient person again.

Jiang Jinshuang smiled as well, her gaze slowly moving down from his face to the sword at his waist.

"Are you comfortable using the broken sword?" Jiang Jinshuang asked.

Yan Jue nodded and hummed in agreement.

Jiang Jinshuang smiled sheepishly: "When I gave you the broken sword, I originally intended for you to practice with it casually. Now that your martial arts have reached a high level, you should have a better sword."

Every inch is stronger.

For a martial artist, a broken sword is still too limiting.

Yan Jue's martial arts skills are very high, so even with a broken sword, he can easily kill enemies.

However, if one were to encounter a highly skilled enemy in the future, the broken sword in one's hand would be a flaw.

We should get a better sword.

Upon hearing Jiang Jinshuang's words, Yan Jue frowned and gripped the sword hilt even tighter, as if afraid that Jiang Jinshuang would throw his sword away.

"This is the sword you gave me; no one but you can touch it."

Si Ning said to Yan Jue, "Your mom doesn't want you anymore~"
