   Seven years ago, Duan Wang Zhao Zhixing hid his identity and went to Yancheng to investigate the case. He was seriously injured and rescued by Jiang's father. Unexpectedly, while he was recovering from his injuries, an epidemic struck fiercely. Unfortunately, Jiang's father was seriously ill. He looked at Jiang Wan who was waiting on the bed and thought about it all night. He begged Zhao Zhixing, who had turned into a rich young man at that time, "I know that there are some things that are difficult for others to do. Could you please ask the young master to take my daughter away?" He paused and looked at the shocked Jiang Wan not far away and said, "Wanwan lost her mother when she was young, her ancestors all died, and she has few relatives. Now I have to leave her. I am really worried that she, a weak woman, will not be able to survive in the world. If the young master likes Wanwan, he will take her in in the future. If not, he can just wait for her to find someone to marry her to." Glancing at Jiang Wan under the dimming lights, he nodded in agreement without much thought, "Don't worry, I'll marry her." A few days later, Jiang's father passed away, and he buried him with Jiang Wan as a junior. He stretched out his hand to Jiang Wan, who was dressed in plain white beside him, and said, "I'll take you home." Jiang Wan's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at his immature face and put her hand up. The two of them went all the way north until they entered Prince Duan's Mansion in the capital, and he told Jiang Wan her true identity. He comforted the anxious Jiang Wan, touched the side of her face and turned to leave. He came back at night with whip marks all over his back and an imperial edict to confer marriage. Jiang Wan frowned and applied the medicine to him, tears streaming down her face unknowingly. Zhao Zhixing's face turned pale, and his muscles twitched from time to time due to her unfamiliar techniques, but he remained silent and allowed her to apply the medicine. It was not until he heard faint crying that he looked back and saw her face covered with tears. He reached out to hold her bloody hand to comfort her, "Don't cry, I will be good to you." When he arrived at the door of the house, Zhao Zhixing was helping a thin and delicate woman get out of the carriage. [Shock]
