[Cold Thorn Rose VS Mad Dog Heir Aunt and Nephew]
The night Song Huan was drugged by her father and sent to Jiang Sheng's bed was her most humiliating moment in twenty years.
Early the next morning, she didn't wait for Jiang Sheng to wake up to give alms, changed her clothes, went straight to the Jiang family's old house, and knocked on the door of Jiang Sheng's uncle Jiang Yan.
"Mr. Jiang, I will be your successor on one condition: help me escape from the Song family."
She knew very well that as Jiang Sheng's woman, she would be abandoned sooner or later, but as his little aunt, he would have to be respectful to her all his life.
Jiang Yan is a very competent husband. He would silently add tea to her while she was reading, leave a lamp on the porch when she was awakened by nightmares, and stand in front of her when she was entangled by the Song family and say, "She is now a member of my Jiang family." He gave her the stability she had never had in twenty years, being held firmly by someone and no longer wandering around.
But Jiang Sheng didn't do as she wished. The more she hides, the closer he gets. When she was sick, he stayed by the bedside all night; when someone made things difficult for her at the banquet, he came half way across the city to support her; she quarreled with him with red eyes, and after the argument awkwardly put the ointment on his table. She dared to lose her temper with him, yell at him, and cry in front of him. She had never been able to do this in front of Jiang Yan.
It took her a long time to admit it
She chose Jiang Yan because he was the best shelter.
She avoided Jiang Sheng because from the first moment, he made her feel unsafe.
From "Little Aunt" to "Mrs. Jiang", she took a long but safe enough path.
