Chapter 947 The Respect He Gave
Back then, because all the people who protected him had died, Wu Shengze was nearly starving to death when he ended up at Changping's doorstep.
It was Changping's mother who gave him a meal, allowing him to survive, and later even let him stay at her home.
However, the person who escorted him left clues before he died, and Wu Shengze's maternal family went to great lengths to finally find him and bring him back.
Afterwards, Wu Shengze did not immediately return to the palace. Instead, he went into hiding and worked hard to hone his skills, hoping to return to the palace once he had the ability to avenge his mother and reclaim everything he wanted!
After all, without his mother's protection, even if he returned to the palace, he would only face certain death.
"Indeed, this prince's experience has been very difficult."
Song Ruozhen couldn't help but sigh, "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will and strengthen their body. Many successful people have experienced hardship."
“He is a capable and ambitious person, but I can tell that he is sincere towards Changping.”
Chu Junting's eyes were serious. In a sense, he and Wu Shengze were the same kind of people.
In many people's eyes, they are cold-hearted by nature, but for them, once they meet that person, they are unshakable.
From the moment he met Wu Shengze and heard him say that he had come for Changping, he sensed Wu's determination to succeed.
Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, "That's good. Changping has had a tough time too. It's wonderful that he's met someone who treats him with sincerity."
Three days later.
Song Ruozhen followed Chu Junting in a carriage to Lulin, and when they arrived, they saw that Changping and the others were already there.
"Princess!"
When Changping saw Song Ruozhen, his eyes lit up instantly.
Seeing Changping's delighted expression, Wu Shengze also turned his gaze towards her.
When she saw Song Ruozhen beside Chu Junting, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes. She had long heard that the Crown Princess was beautiful enough to win Chu Junting's heart. Seeing her today, she realized that the rumors were indeed true.
He had previously thought it was hard to imagine a girl who would be a good match for someone like Chu Junting, but now that he had met him in person, he understood.
When Song Ruozhen saw Changping, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"As soon as I heard you were coming, I immediately agreed. You look much better today and seem more cheerful."
Changping nodded, and couldn't help but look at Wu Shengze behind her. She had now confirmed Wu Shengze's identity as her older brother who had lived in her mansion when she was a child.
After what happened to the Qi family, Mingming was in a bad mood and just wanted to be with her family. She had no other thoughts.
Wu Shengze's appearance surprised her, but he still gave her the same feeling as when she was a child—that warm and reassuring older brother.
"I heard you're pregnant. Let's sit down and talk."
Changping's gaze fell on Song Ruozhen's stomach, and she sighed inwardly: Fortunately, when she saved her, the Crown Princess did not jump into the river herself, otherwise, if something had happened, she would have been a great sinner!
Chu Muyao also moved closer to Song Ruozhen, "Sister-in-law, have you noticed anything different since you got pregnant?"
"I'm only recently pregnant, so I don't feel anything yet."
As soon as Chu Junting arrived, Mu Yao and Changping called their wives to sit together. When he turned his head, he noticed that Wu Shengze and Song Jingshen were staring at him.
He shrugged. His wife was just that popular; what could he do?
Song Jingshen chuckled lightly, "My sister is just that popular, you'll get used to it."
“I know my wife has always been popular,” Chu Junting said.
Wu Shengze: "..."
"I heard that Changping was in a bad mood and almost lost her life. It was thanks to the Crown Princess that she was able to save her."
Wu Shengze's eyes were filled with complex emotions. When he heard the news, his heart skipped a beat; he was still too late.
Fortunately, he had the Crown Princess; otherwise, if he had come to the capital of the Chu You Dynasty, he would have only seen Changping's corpse.
"It's just that Changping's life wasn't meant to end, but my wife is naturally excellent." Chu Junting's expression was calm, and his tone carried a hint of pride.
Song Jingshen listened to their conversation and then realized there was such a thing going on.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda; my younger sister's merit is truly remarkable.
"Changping, what do you think of this prince of the Qi Yue Dynasty?"
Chu Muyao and Changping had known each other for a long time, so she didn't stand on ceremony and asked curiously.
Changping paused slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by their gazes, and said:
"Actually, I felt very close to him when I saw him. I never expected that he would come back to find me. I never expected that the person my mother saved back then would be a prince of the Qi Yue Dynasty."
As for relationships, I've just gone through what happened before, so I really don't have any thoughts about them right now.
However, what he said really resonated with me and gave me another option.
"What choice?"
He said that since I was unhappy here, I might as well go with him to see other places.
Go to the Qi-Yue Dynasty, where no one knows my past. I stay by his side, and he can protect my safety.
Because of past kindness, and because I trust his character, he said that if I was willing to marry him, he would never let me down. But if I wasn't willing, after we went to the Qi Yue Dynasty, we could still be like brother and sister, and he wouldn't restrict my freedom.
A hint of longing appeared in Changping's eyes. In fact, she had been trying to comfort herself during this time, but every time she went out and saw those strange looks and the pointing and whispering around her, it would be a lie to say that she didn't care.
She wasn't that strong at all.
No amount of comforting could help; she just wanted to escape this place and get away from all of this.
If she could really go to a place where no one knows her, perhaps she could truly start over.
Song Ruozhen and Chu Muyao exchanged a glance. It seemed that Wu Jingshuo had truly shown Changping respect and allowed her to make her own choice.
While Changping went to get food, Chu Muyao couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, I think Wu Shengze is quite nice. According to Changping, he respects her a lot and is really here to repay a debt of gratitude."
Even if Changping doesn't like him, with a prince protecting her, no one will bully her even if she goes to the Qi Yue Dynasty.
Song Ruozhen smiled faintly and remained silent. She glanced at Wu Shengze, whose attention was entirely on Changping, not far away. This man was probably playing the long game.
He would certainly not let Changping suffer, but if Changping really fell for another man, he would probably go crazy!
However, knowing how to proceed step by step is not bad.
"Sister-in-law, why do I feel like your expression doesn't mean you agree with what I'm saying?" Chu Muyao asked, puzzled.
Song Ruozhen smiled and said, "Don't think about these things. Instead, think about what gifts we should prepare when Changping gets married."
"We definitely need to prepare well. If Changping really goes, he must bring plenty of money with him!"
Chu Muyao's attention was diverted. In fact, she was filled with gratitude towards Changping. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been able to be with Jing Shen.
