Wang Wanwan looked at Xia Liyuan and suddenly laughed.
"Actually, it's nothing... I'm just an ordinary person."
There was a hint of sigh in Wang Wanwan's tone. She looked at Xia Liyuan, a little curious, "Just like you don't believe what kind of tricks a weak woman like me used to get to where I am now. I don't know."
What happened between you and Wen Ranran, wasn't it?"
Xia Liyuan was speechless for a moment.
"From Jiangrao County to Binguo...perhaps it may seem like a short journey to others, but what exactly I experienced during this journey is something only I know."
Wang Wanwan's eyes showed a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"If the girl is willing to speak, I am willing to be the listener!" Xia Liyuan looked at the woman in front of him, and the other woman's attitude towards him made him subconsciously unable to feel any malice.
Wang Wanwan smiled softly and began to tell a story that Xia Liyuan had never seen before.
In that story, she was a wandering and free-spirited heroine, but at the first stop, she met bossy officials, timid common people, and countless ordinary people.
Holding a hoe and working in the fields, in the end, the harvest of the year was not enough to fill the stomach...
I have seen countless refugees, countless hungry, cold, and even exchanged children for food...
"These things are most common at the border between Binguo and Rongguo... There, I was taken care of by a mother-in-law in a village. She always said that her grandson was about my age, and if possible, she would give me to her in the future.
She didn't even wait for her grandson to be her daughter-in-law... Later, she didn't wait for it!" Wang Wanwan's tone was calm, but all she said was the blood and tears of people's livelihood.
"It was fine when I was in Rongguo, but when I came to Binguo... I realized that Binguo was actually hell."
Jiang Zijing stationed a large number of troops. Every year, many men were sent to the military camps. The fields were deserted and no one was farming. Women and children had to go to battle. However, in the end, their hard work was not rewarded with food and clothing, let alone happiness, but an even more tragic disaster.
"I have seen some seven or eight-year-old girls snatched away by those beasts and kept in military camps as if they were captives. I have seen old people beaten to death for not doing so..."
"Jiang Zijing has gone crazy. I have seen too many things. In the past, I was Wang Wanwan who never left the door and never stepped out of the door. I was nothing but fierce. Now, I didn't expect that I would see this." Wang Wanwan.
Wan's voice was low, but every word hit Xia Liyuan's heart.
Xia Liyuan nodded bitterly.
"Actually... I saw the same scene when I was escaping and traveling all the way... The wealthy families smelled of wine and meat, and there were bones frozen to death on the road..."
"But why did you meet Jiang Xing? As far as I know, he is not a good man, don't you?" Xia Liyuan couldn't believe it.
During this short conversation, Xia Liyuan already understood that the Wang Wanwan in front of her was definitely not an ordinary woman. She cared about people's livelihood and pretended to surrender in the court of this guest country, but in fact she had her own plans.
"I met Jiang Xing in a teahouse. He is a very interesting person... Jiang Zijing's strict father made Jiang Xing develop a character of obeying his father in everything. People with this kind of character may be a little annoying to others, but to me
, but it’s the best!”
Xia Liyuan was stunned.
Wang Wanwan smiled, "Yes, I seduced him!"
Xia Liyuan's heart trembled and he looked at Wang Wanwan in disbelief. After all, few women could talk about seduction so confidently...
"I knew the Jiang family would not accept me. I used him to make him unable to live without me until this matter reached Jiang Zijing's ears. Jiang Zijing valued talents and would not leave me alone. I talked to him and he
Although he is ambitious, he is a smart man! You can gain trust by showing a little surrender."
"He needs to place his own people around the emperor. Even the little emperor needs to let down his guard. I want to get close to the little emperor and train him into a pillar of talent... I know this is difficult, but for such a militaristic person like Jiang Zijing
, once he is allowed to start a war, the people of the guest country will be in dire straits."
Wang Wanwan's tone was very calm, but looking at Xia Liyuan, she felt a little emotional.
