She paused. ‘How could it be so easy?’
‘This can’t go on,’ I frowned. ‘In this state, Consort Yin must have noticed something. If you can’t let go, why not find him? Meet him once for closure.’
She lowered her head and whispered, ‘…impossible.’
‘Why impossible?’
She suddenly looked up, her gaze burning, and grabbed my hand. ‘A Yao, is it right to do anything, without limits, for the person you love?’
‘I—’ I was at a loss.
‘You’ll understand, right?’ she asked eagerly. ‘Because An Jin is such a person, so you must understand.’
‘I can indeed understand. However—’
She seemed to have solved a long-standing problem and relaxed. ‘A Yao, I’ve decided.’
‘Decided what?’ I was stunned.
‘I’ve decided to compete with you for the position of heir. Sorry, I went back on my word, but I must do this. A Yao, from today, we’ll each use our own means.’
Chapter Sixty-Eight: Revenge and Hatred
She really said that?”
An Jin furrowed his brow, pacing in the room.
I nodded. “Not a joke. It’s not a problem that she wants the heir position; I just don’t understand her sudden change of mind. There must be something wrong. Her previous words were strange, ‘doing anything for the person you love’? Was she talking about herself?”
“It seems something must have happened during Jiang Yunqiao’s trip,” An Jin concluded. “When I spoke with Consort Yin, he seemed low-spirited and distracted. Jiang Yunqiao’s change of heart must relate to the person she loves, the so-called ‘snow youth.’ But why would she compete for the heir position for him?”
I sighed. “It seems the key lies with this snow youth. But Jiang Yunqiao said he’s from Qi State. How can we investigate?”
“Actually, it’s not difficult. We just need to start with the people around Jiang Yunqiao,” An Jin smiled. “Leave it to me.”
“Are you going to investigate?” I hesitated, thinking that this wasn’t Qi Kingdom and not An Jin’s territory.
An Jin raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery in his voice, “What, don’t you trust your husband’s methods? Did you think I was just leisurely playing around in Nanrui these past few days?”
I suddenly understood, both surprised and delighted.
