Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

At this time, the banquet was just halfway through, and the sky outside had already darkened, but lights were lit everywhere in the palace, making the surroundings almost as bright as day.

The fourth prince had a gentle smile on his face as usual, and walked into his old residence in the palace openly. He asked his trusted subordinates to guard outside the door, and he strode to the bed after entering the room.

He fiddled with the bedside for a few times, and soon there was a low sound of sliding objects behind the bed curtain. He kicked off his shoes and jumped onto the bed, raised his hand to open the curtain, and there was a secret passage behind that could only accommodate one person.

He took out a night pearl from his arms to illuminate, and the fourth prince carefully restored the bed curtain to its original state. He walked along the secret passage for about a few hundred meters and had reached the end in front.

He stepped forward and put his ear to the wall. He didn't hear any unexpected movement, so he twisted the mechanism to open the passage. When he walked out, the person in the room heard the movement and turned around. It was the wife of the Duke of Anguo.

"Arong!" Jiang Ruxue was surprised to see him, and ran over quickly, hugging his waist tightly.

Fang Jiarong liked her initiative and enthusiasm the most, which was completely different from other women he had seen, giving him a novel experience of being loved passionately.

"I'm sorry, I scared you," he hugged her tightly with his backhand, and said apologetically, "Don't worry, sooner or later, I will let you stand by my side openly, and you won't have to hide anymore."

"We don't need to say this, and I'm not a delicate flower that needs your careful care," Jiang Ruxue broke free from his arms, turned her back to him, and said angrily, "You should go home and tell those girls in your backyard about this kind of coaxing words."

"Why are you still talking to me in anger?" Fang Jiarong smiled helplessly, and came forward to hug her from behind, "You know that I don't know how to say sweet words, and what I say is all from my heart, and I only say this to you."

"Who knows whether what you said is true or false?" Jiang Ruxue felt happy in her heart, but she still refused to let him go easily, and at the same time tried hard to break free of his hands.

"Heaven and earth can bear witness!" Fang Jiarong quickly increased the strength of his arms and refused to let go, "If I said even a single lie before, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

"If swearing is useful, I'm afraid that this great court will thunder every moment!" Although Jiang Ruxue said this, her face had turned from anger to joy, and her struggle also weakened.

The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while, and Jiang Ruxue spoke first: "Arong, I plan to confront Sheng Yangyan and divorce him after I go back. I really don't want to be the wife of the Duke of Anguo for even a minute."

Fang Jiarong had heard her mention this idea a long time ago, and he was not surprised to hear her mention it now, but he did not express his opinion immediately, but asked: "Ruxue, have you ever thought about it, if he disagrees, what should you do?"

"Why would he disagree?" Jiang Ruxue really didn't think about this. In her opinion, Sheng Yangyan had not returned home for many years, and had not mentioned taking people to the border, which obviously did not value this wife very much.

In that case, she took the initiative to propose a divorce, which was exactly what he wanted.

After that, he could marry another woman he liked, instead of letting someone he didn't like occupy his position as his wife.

After hearing her idea, Fang Jiarong laughed: "You think things are too simple, Ruxue."

Sometimes he was really curious about what kind of place the Jiang family was, and how could such a special woman be raised?

She was extremely smart, and could write poems that everyone praised, and could come up with countless novel ideas to run their business successfully.

She was warm and generous, completely different from the shyness of ordinary women.

But when it came to human relations, she seemed to be missing a string, and she didn't understand the truth that even some girls from small families understood.

"Your marriage with Sheng Yangyan is not just a matter between the two of you, but also a kind of covenant between the Anguo Mansion and the Jiang family. The Jiang family needs the power of the Anguo Mansion, and Sheng Yangyan needs to rely on the reputation of the Jiang family."

"If he knew that you wanted to divorce, I'm afraid the first person who disagreed would be your father, and Sheng Yangyan would be even less likely to give up this good marriage with the Jiang family."

Jiang Ruxue is not stupid, but she just didn't think about these deep-level things before. After hearing what he said, she understood.

This is just like a modern business marriage. The "business" of the two families is involved with each other. Once their marriage breaks down, it will inevitably affect their respective development.

But...

She turned her head suspiciously and looked at the man behind her: "Why didn't you remind me before?"

Although she knew that the possibility was not great, when she was in love, she had imagined their future life together. At that time, she mentioned to him that she wanted to divorce, but he never said what he said today.

Jiang Ruxue couldn't help but doubt the reason. Maybe she was the only one who took this relationship seriously, and he just regarded her as a little seasoning in his boring life.

Facing her suspicion, Fang Jiarong did not look guilty at all, but stared at her deeply: "When I saw your serious face, I knew you were not just talking, how could I bear to let you down?"

"Heh--" Jiang Ruxue sneered, "So I have to thank you for saying that? Then how can you bear to do that now?"

"I will never bear with you at any time." When Fang Jiarong said these words, both his tone and expression were full of affection. The two people who heard it had different reactions.

Jiang Ruxue still had doubts in her heart, but she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Yang Yan, who was hiding behind the secret passage, only felt numb and cold.

The fourth prince looked like a humble gentleman in front of everyone, with a gentle smile on his face all year round. Who would have thought that he had such a passionate side?

Although in the memory of the original owner, there were many disgusting conversations between the two of them in the storybook, reading the text was not as impactful as hearing it live.

For a moment, Yang Yan was really disgusted. Fortunately, the two of them in the room separated by a wooden board quickly talked about business.

Jiang Ruxue was only confused by his sweet words for a moment, and then she quickly woke up. After all, she came from modern times and was much more defensive about men than women of this dynasty.

"Fang Jiarong, don't tell me all this. What are you thinking about?" She threw her lover's hand away angrily, "If you don't tell me clearly today, there will be no need for us to meet again in the future. "

Her reaction was somewhat beyond Fang Jiarong's expectations, but he was not angry because of her last words that could be considered a threat. Instead, he was a little happy - she was indeed the woman he fell in love with, she was indeed different.

However, he also knew that if he continued to keep it secret, she might really get angry, so he quickly said: "It's not that I can't bear to see you sad now, but I have already thought of a way."

"What is the solution?" Jiang Ruxue asked doubtfully.

"Sheng Yangyan holds an army of 500,000, and he seems to have unlimited glory, but he doesn't know that his father has become suspicious of him." Fang Jiarong said confidently, "This king also confirmed him after many insinuations. The old man’s true thoughts.”

Jiang Ruxue believed this. She lived in a future era of information explosion in the world. She often watched movies and TV shows, and few military generals could truly gain the trust of those in power.

Her eyes lit up instantly: "You mean to find a way to make the emperor no longer able to tolerate him. When he falls, he will naturally be unable to control me?"

"That's right!" Fang Jiarong looked at her approvingly, and he knew that the woman he was interested in was not like those servants, and no woman could be as smart as her.

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Ruxue never thought that what they were conspiring to plot was a living human life, and she agreed with his idea without any guilt.

"Then I will need Ruxue's cooperation." Fang Jiarong admired her even more. He gently picked up a strand of her hair and tucked it behind her ear. "I will prepare something for you. You can find a chance to put it away." Go to Sheng Yangyan’s study and leave all the rest to me.”

Jiang Ruxue could guess without thinking that what he wanted to release must be life-threatening. He said with some hesitation: "But he and I are still married, and if something happens to him, I will definitely not be able to escape the relationship. "

"I have thought about this a long time ago," Fang Jiarong said confidently, "I have secretly identified a woman who has a similar appearance to you. At that time, I only need to exchange you two, and you can Escaped smoothly."

Jiang Ruxue was still not at ease. Who knew whether what he said was true or false?

There was no audio or video equipment in this era, so what if he lied to himself just to let her help him bring down Sheng Yangyan.

After the incident was completed, he had no evidence at all, and he turned against him and refused to admit it. Who should he cry to?

As if he saw what she was thinking, Fang Jiarong added: "Ruxue, are you worried about where you will go after you lose your identity?"

"Don't worry! I will write a letter. When the time comes, you can take it back to your father and ask him to arrange a body for you. When the matter calms down, I will marry you into the palace."

Jiang Ruxue didn't care whether she married into the palace or not, but when she heard that he could write a letter, she immediately settled in her heart. In this era, this was considered substantial evidence, and she was not afraid that he would dare to cheat.

What's more, she only remembered after he reminded her that he had given her many things before, some of which were status symbols and could be used as supporting evidence when the time came.

When you get back home, put those things in a safe place and hide them!

With this thought in mind, Jiang Ruxue finally agreed.
