Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 159 Harmony

The following days were particularly quiet in Jiang Feng's life.

So quiet that it seems as if time has stood still.

It is in stark contrast to the bustling outside world.

It is said that Shen Guxing and Princess Ji'an were involved in a divorce dispute, which caused a lot of uproar and even alarmed the Emperor.

Mrs. Shen was so angry that she was bedridden and even threatened to commit suicide, but Shen Guxing remained unmoved.

The situation remained at a stalemate.

Finally, Mrs. Shen came.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Mrs. Shen's black hair had turned white.

Mrs. Shen’s purpose was very clear. She hoped Jiang Feng would come forward and persuade Shen Guxing.

Mrs. Shen spoke earnestly, "It turns out that our family has treated you badly. I hope that you will consider Yiye's deep love and persuade him to let go of his worries and live a good life."

Jiang Feng could understand Shen's mother's feelings very well, but she could empathize with Shen Guxing even more.

Why can't he choose whether to be with someone according to his own heart!

Moreover, Jiang Feng had reason to suspect that Ji'an was inextricably linked to many things in the past.

Yuan Ying said that the two assassinations were not done by Prince Ning. If her words are credible, then there must be someone else behind the scenes.

She remembered that when Li Chongfu rebelled in Luoyang, he said when he was defeated: "... How can you let me down!"

At that time, Jiang Feng only thought it was Princess Cheng'an, but in fact it could also be Princess Ji'an.

When Crown Prince Li Longji caught a spy and found letters urging the murder of Jiang Feng, he repeatedly mentioned a man named "An Qing".

Could this "An Qing" be just a person named "An"?

The time goes back to two years ago, when Jiang Feng was poisoned by Aconitum.

Based on Li Longye's previous investigation, Jiang Feng basically agreed with Dou Ding's statement, that Jiang Fei just wanted to ruin Jiang Feng's voice, and she did not intend to kill him.

Two years ago, the jade seal had not been exposed. If someone had to be pulled out, Jiang Feng would have been killed. But now it seems that Jiang Feng only thought of Princess Cheng'an and the Lady of Ji'an County.

If the person behind the scenes killed the preserve shop owner to silence him, and the iron-armed man who silenced him appeared in the team that assassinated Li Longji and Li Longye.

At least it can be shown that the matter of the aconite poison is closely related to Prince Ning. It is either him or Ji'an.

Of course, all of this is just Jiang Feng's speculation and there is no real evidence.

She also didn't dare to discuss, analyze or correct the issue with others.

Therefore, she herself also doubted whether she blamed everything on Princess Ji'an because she hated her subjectively or it was the result of a rational conclusion.

Considering Ji An's past hypocritical behavior towards her, Jiang Feng felt that her character was questionable.

Although she is beautiful and has a noble status, Shen Guxing is so handsome and worthy of someone better, right?

At least, that person won't do evil!

Faced with Mrs. Shen's motherly kindness, Jiang Feng had no choice but to harden his heart and refuse.

She said, "Madam, I'm sorry I can't obey your order. This is Mr. Shen's own choice. I shouldn't interfere."

Mrs. Shen was stunned. She thought that Jiang Feng would come forward to lobby for her, whether for Shen Guxing or because of her kind-hearted nature. She didn't expect that she would refuse so bluntly.

Madam Shen said, "How can it have nothing to do with you? Yiye insisted on divorce because he still remembers you."

Jiang Feng said: "If Master Shen has always been thinking about me, why did we get along so well before, but now we have to get divorced?"

Mother Shen looked sad: "You once said to me, 'A career is to me like water to a fish, like light to a dark night! I am willing to stay with him all my life, to support each other in times of hardship, and to respect each other in times of wealth.' Your words are still ringing in my ears, so are you going to let him be separated from his wife and children?"

Jiang Feng certainly remembered the oath she made in front of the Buddhist shrine of Shen's mother.

She looked at Mother Shen with infinite compassion, and after a long while she asked, "Madam, are Yiye and the county lady happy?"

Shen's mother paused. In this marriage, Shen Guxing was the only unhappy person.

At the wedding, he escaped for half a day and did not return to the wedding hall until dark to complete the ceremony.

After getting married, she refused to consummate the marriage. It was she who cooperated with Ji An and used some tricks to make the two of them drink the wedding wine.

Later, he seemed to have come to his senses and lived like other couples, fulfilling his duties as a good husband.

Although he couldn't hide his depression and frustration, as a mother, she felt that time could heal everything.

Until the autumn season came, the seemingly happy and harmonious marriage finally revealed its true nature and ended up in divorce.

Shen's mother naturally knew that Shen Guxing abandoned Ji'an during the autumn hunt and ran to Luoyang to save Jiang Feng. When they returned to Tangquan Mountain, the two fell into a cave again and almost died.

Mother Shen was thinking that if there was no Jiang Feng, perhaps Shen Guxing could live a peaceful life.

She looked at Jiang Feng and prayed, "As long as you stay away from him, sooner or later, he will accept Ji An."

Jiang Feng was choked by Shen's mother's words.

Jiang Feng calmed down and said after a long while: "Madam loves Yi Ye, but she still doesn't understand him. He insisted on divorcing the county lady. Is it to marry me? If Yi Ye marries me, will I turn back?"

Mrs. Shen sighed and asked, "Isn't it?"

Jiang Feng said firmly: "There is no possibility for Yi Ye and I. Even if Yi Ye wants to, I will never look back."

Madam Shen asked sternly, "If that's the case, why don't you help me persuade him?"

Jiang Feng also said excitedly: "Because of me, I want to live my own life! I want to completely erase him from my life!"

She looked at Shen's mother who was confused, and continued, "If I persuade him to continue his unhappy marriage, can I bear the frustration of his second half of life? He drank a lot, wrote a sad poem, and painted a depressing picture, and I don't think it has anything to do with me! I don't want to bear these, even if it's Yi Ye!"

Shen's mother was dejected. Although she still hoped that Jiang Feng would come forward emotionally, she had already understood Jiang Feng rationally.

She finally stood up and said goodbye, dressed in blue and looking lonely.

As winter approached, Shen Guxing and the Princess of Ji'an finally divorced.

This incident shocked all the onlookers in Chang'an City.

People were eagerly waiting for Shen Guxing and Jiang Feng to rekindle their old relationship.

After waiting for a long time, the tragic love triangle between Shen, Li and Jiang did not happen, but the news came that Shen Guxing was appointed as the judge of the Hexi Jiedushi.
