On the first day he married into Prince Jing's Mansion, he said——
"I don't want a wife who has been ordered to do so. Come to me when you want to stay, not because of the imperial order, but because of yourself."
I said okay, then the prince will wait patiently.
Later, he hired a pastry chef from Jiangnan for me, set up a screen to block the wind when I coughed, and quietly stuffed banknotes into my books at home.
I pretended not to know.
But when the Queen Mother threatened my father's life and asked me to betray him——
I handed him the evidence that I had been investigating for eleven years.
"I believe you." I said.
Are three words enough to exchange his sincerity?
