Chapter 252 Too Immersed in the Role? (Won Ji-eun 1)

After court, Wen Zhi'en went to his study and had not eaten yet, which worried the servants outside the door.

Over the years, Your Excellency has devoted yourself to the country and its people, working tirelessly without even inquiring about your wife's passing. How can one not admire such a virtuous minister?

When Wen Zhi'en finished processing the last memorial, she suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood.

He wiped himself simply with a handkerchief, without calling out to anyone. He thought of what His Majesty had told him today, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She knew it all.

Like her mother, she never wanted to see him again.

He suddenly stood up, his gaze falling on the portrait of the house.

The woman in the portrait is smiling triumphantly, her beautiful face appearing somewhat delicate.

Jiang Yanhong

Wen Zhien doesn't know why she just can't forget her.

He had already achieved everything he had dreamed of in his youth, rising to the position of prime minister and enjoying immense glory. No one dared to underestimate him anymore.

This is clearly the life he wanted, the life he painstakingly and painstakingly obtained.

He lost his father at a young age, and his family fell into decline. His mother went to great lengths to get him into the Jiang family.

Among the many talented disciples of the Jiang family, his talent was not outstanding, and his family background was even more disrespectful.

He was well aware of his situation. Since he had gone to such great lengths to enter the Jiang family, he was not only there for cultivation. More importantly, he wanted to befriend those truly outstanding individuals from prominent families, to gain his master's promotion, and to rise rapidly through the ranks thanks to the Jiang family.

Miss Jiang is the best entry point.

One day, Jiang Yanhong's usual sparring partner was absent "without reason" on the way, and Wen Zhi'en's sparring partner was also absent "coincidentally", so they naturally formed a pair.

Wen Zhien showed no mercy to his junior sister in that fight, and "accidentally" injured her.

Everyone surrounded Wen Zhi'en and questioned him, and even the elder who was in charge of training punished him.

As everyone knows, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is frail and sickly. Her cultivation is merely for the purpose of improving her health. Everyone usually gives way to her, and no one would really want to compete with her.

Faced with everyone's questions, Wen Zhi'en retorted, "Why should we give way? How can we improve if we cheat in a competition? Besides, my junior sister is no worse than you or me, and we don't need to give way to her."

He noticed his junior sister's gaze on him and felt a surge of nervousness.

Fortunately, his junior sister spoke up for him, saying, "Senior Brother Wen is right."

That night, he secretly went to deliver medicine to his junior sister, and was "accidentally" seen by her. The next day, his junior sister took the initiative to ask their master if they could team up.

Wen Zhien thought things would go smoothly from here on out. They were only ten years old. All he had to do was play the role of childhood sweetheart and quietly infiltrate her life so that everyone around her could see him.

With his looks, talent, and ability, he's sure to win over his junior sister.

But little did they know that what followed was just the beginning of the real difficulties.

His junior sister's thoughts were hard to fathom. He knew he had to be strict with her regarding cultivation, to be frank, and even to point out her shortcomings harshly. But outside of cultivation, he truly didn't know how to deal with her. Should he shower her with concern? She remained consistently indifferent. Being gentle with her, offering occasional encouragement, would only elicit a fleeting smile or a sharp retort.

My junior sister has a bad temper and is hard to appease. Sometimes, being too strict with sword practice will make her unhappy, and sometimes being a little gentle will make her feel like you are just being perfunctory. In short, if you don't do what she wants, she will make a fuss. But her feelings are always changing.

Wen Zhi'en disliked her junior sister more and more, finding their interactions extremely tiring. If you were too proactive, she would suspect your ulterior motives; if you were too indifferent, she would completely forget about you. She didn't know whether to greet you on the street or not; sometimes, even if you hadn't done anything, she would inexplicably get angry just by looking at your face and say you were ugly, even though she had praised you the day before.

Her unpredictable mood swings and mood swings are driving Wen Zhien crazy, but he has no choice but to rack his brains to guess what she's thinking and try to make her happy every day.

Even so, he still couldn't get any special treatment from her, let alone get close to her heart.

She would practice with him and exchange a few words, but that was all. She would send him away when she was talking or playing with her brother or close friends.

He finally managed to gain recognition in front of his master, but behind her back, he overheard her evaluation of him.

When her master inquired about this unfamiliar disciple, she only said that her father didn't need to take him seriously; they were just ordinary fellow disciples. He was just trying to show off in front of her for fun, so she agreed. They could practice swordsmanship together occasionally. However, this one wasn't strong enough; once she defeated him, she would find someone much stronger.

As the two walked away, Wen Zhi'en, hidden in the shadows, frowned. She wasn't angry, but calmly thinking. It turned out that she hadn't taken him seriously at all. She had seen through his tricks. She had been playing him all along.

Only then did he realize his mistake. He had underestimated his junior sister, treating her as an innocent and naive young lady.

But who is my junior sister? She's someone even a princess can't compare to!

Of the hundreds of people in the sect, who doesn't fawn over their junior sister? Who doesn't secretly hope to be favored by her? And this is only within the Jiang family; outside, which high-ranking official wouldn't want to befriend her?

With so many people pampering and indulging her, her junior sister must have high standards.

How could he easily win her over with just a few words?

But should he give up? No, impossible. Once Wen Zhi'en sets his mind on something, he will never give up. He believes that as long as he does his best and uses every means at his disposal, there is nothing he cannot do.

After reviewing the situation, Wen Zhi'en no longer dared to underestimate his junior sister. He cultivated diligently, fearing that he would be disliked.

He cared for her a hundred times more than anything else or anyone else. He also had to be on guard against those who harbored ill intentions towards his junior sister every day, and he had to be even more vigilant about any changes in his junior sister's feelings for anyone.

No one understands his junior sister better than him, no one "loves" her more than him, and no one wins her favor more than him.

In the days that followed, he became so obsessed that he would secretly follow her and observe her.

In those countless days and nights, he thought about how he could like his junior sister more and love her more, and how he could make her like him and fall in love with him.

Jiang Yanhong became an increasingly important part of his life, and his relationship with her grew closer.

As he wished, he successfully entered the top circle of Jiang family disciples, and even his master began to treat him differently.

His life path began to become smoother.

Later, he naturally married his junior sister, and with the help of the Jiang family, his career progressed very smoothly.

Those days were the most carefree period of his life. Even though he still had to coax his junior sister every day and play the role of a good husband and son-in-law, those were things he was good at.

Everyone in the Jiang family was dissatisfied with him, and everyone in the capital praised him as a good husband. Jiang Yanhong was so in love with him that she couldn't live without him.

No one can compare to him when it comes to acting skills.

Until the Jiang family was completely destroyed.

This was completely unexpected for him.

He was at a loss for how to face the situation. Helpless, he could only continue to maintain his status as a good son-in-law and try his best to help the Jiang family clear their name, hoping that the Jiang family would be exonerated.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and the Jiang family ultimately failed to overturn the case.
