He doesn't really feel joy.

However, in front of everyone, Sang Guyun could not openly defy the imperial decree. After sending away the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, he turned his head and saw Yanxi sticking to his daughter. He noticed the tender and affectionate look in Yanxi's eyes as she gazed at Sang Huan.

Having already developed a good impression of his future son-in-law after the journey, Grand Tutor Sang felt increasingly uneasy.

His plump, healthy cabbages were stolen before they even reached their nest; no wonder he was upset.

"Hmph, shameless in public! Huanhuan, come on, your father has had your courtyard carefully renovated. You and your father should go back to the manor first and see where we need to add anything."

The sarcastic voice of Grand Tutor Sang caught Prince Jing'an off guard as he was preparing to take his young fiancée to familiarize herself with the capital.

He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to politely ask Sang Guyun to let the person go for a while, he saw that the other party was looking at him with disdain.

Sang Huan found it amusing, winked at him to signal him not to say anything more, and then turned to give Grand Tutor Sang a sweet smile.

"Okay, Father."

"Let's go."

Sang Taifu was urging her on, and Sang Huan didn't want to say much to Yan Xi. She got back into the carriage and prepared to leave with him first.

Yan Xi stood there, watching the carriage drive away from sight, feeling quite uneasy.

The carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and a slender, fair hand reached out, making a "three" gesture towards him before immediately withdrawing it.

Yan Xi was taken aback, but once she understood, her previous dejection vanished, and her eyes were filled with laughter.

The shadowy figure nearby also witnessed this scene. Unable to understand the encrypted language the two were speaking, he couldn't help but peek over.

"Young Master, what does Miss Sang mean by this?"

Having been appeased, Yan Xi glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

After saying that, he turned around and boarded the carriage that belonged exclusively to the Marquis of Jing'an's residence, heading in the opposite direction from Sang Huan and the others. The bewildered Shadow stood there, scratching his head in frustration.

The emperor not only bestowed the title of Princess Yong'an upon the daughter whom Grand Tutor Sang had found, but also betrothed her to the Crown Prince Jing'an, who was admired by countless noble ladies in the capital. This bombshell news quickly caused a sensation!

After all, those daughters of noble families all thought that the man they were marrying was just a merchant's daughter, and that as long as they used some tricks, they could pull him down from his position as the crown prince's wife.

But now, not only has she suddenly become the daughter of a high-ranking official, but the emperor has also personally bestowed upon her the title of Princess and the position of Princess Consort to the Crown Prince!

Even if they were incredibly bold, they wouldn't dare to offend someone of that status easily, knowing that behind him was the Emperor!

The noble ladies were heartbroken, but they could only swallow their tears. Of course, there were others who were even more in pain than them.

The news not only caused a sensation in the capital, but also drifted slowly to the south of the Yangtze River like a breeze.

The people of Suzhou were amazed, never expecting that a golden phoenix could fly out of their place. They talked about it with great interest for several days.

Naturally, Sang Ling, who was hiding among the beggars, also learned of this news.

When she learned the news, Sang Ling was filled with resentment, but that night, she had an even more devastating dream.

In her dream, Sang Huan was eliminated by her mother's scheme, and she and the young master successfully got engaged, married, and entered the capital.

Despite numerous twists and turns, she and the young master eventually became a respectful couple. The Sang family also gained fame because of him, becoming renowned imperial merchants.

The tutor who looked at her with disgust was also kind and gentle to her in her dream.

Even when she was being bullied by those girls, he would take the initiative to rescue her.

But when he looked at her, there was always an unyielding sorrow and doubt in his eyes.

Sang Ling didn't know what he suspected, because in her third year in the capital, this Grand Tutor passed away due to illness.

The Grand Tutor had no sons, so he left all his possessions to her, a junior.

Sang Ling was both surprised and delighted, and naturally took over the arrangements for the funeral.

It was during this process that Sang Ling inadvertently discovered the portrait in Grand Tutor Sang's study.

The woman in the portrait looked somewhat familiar. Sang Ling had her servants inquire about her identity before she learned who the woman in the painting was.

It was none other than the wife of Grand Tutor Sang! The concubine Ning who was murdered by her mother!

Sang Ling then realized that Grand Tutor Sang was treating her as his wife's biological daughter.

While she was surprised, a sense of guilt and lingering fear welled up inside her.

Sang Ling knew her identity better than anyone else. If she had made even the slightest mistake and it had been discovered, it would have been a capital offense punishable by beheading.

But after calming down, Sang Ling felt that it was God's mercy that she was able to encounter such good fortune; she was truly a woman of destiny.

As for whether he felt any guilt towards Sang Huan?

Why should I feel guilty?

Sang Ling felt that everything she had now was thanks to God's help, and that Sang Huan was just unlucky to have died so young.

If she were still alive, she would definitely try to find a good husband for her as compensation.

This was just a minor incident for Sang Ling, and she was quickly overshadowed by something else.

Although the prince married her as his principal wife, he never touched her, and no matter what tricks Sang Ling tried, it was no use.

Sang Ling was extremely aggrieved and upset. She made a scene at the Marquis's mansion for a long time without any results, and was finally dismissed by the heir apparent due to illness.

She was shocked, but also convinced by this reasoning.

After all, Sang Ling considered herself beautiful and couldn't even arouse the prince's desire, so she didn't care about her illness.

But she was a normal woman with her own needs. She knew that the prince could not satisfy her, but she was reluctant to give up her position as the prince's wife. So, under the cover of her family, she kept a mistress.

She moved back and forth between the crown prince and his concubine, and lived a comfortable life in her later years.

Suddenly opening her eyes, Sang Ling was furious when she saw the beggar secretly reaching out to touch her!

"I am the Princess Consort of Jing'an, how dare you insult me!"
