Chapter 236 - 234 She Hates Lu Ying, Hates Lu Shiyan
The large ship continued sailing along the vast river, taking nearly half a month to reach Jiangnan by water.
Tonight, the wind was absent, the night sky clear, and stars dotted the heavens.
Shen Yinning stood by the railing, her eyes downcast as she gazed at the shimmering ripples trailing behind the ship.
The canal stretched endlessly wide—there was no way she could escape back to the Capital now...
Lu Shiyan dared not approach her and instead had Luo Wanzhao deliver her meal.
"Sister Shen," Luo Wanzhao spoke softly and gently, "the Crown Prince’s actions have already proven that, in his heart, you’re someone he can abandon at will. If he is so heartless, why should you continue being sentimental? Why not stay peacefully with the Prince in Jiangnan? Once you settle into Liang Garden, you’ll understand what true wealth and luxury mean, what heaven on earth feels like. You’ll fall in love with the comfort and opulence of Liang Garden, with the Prince’s gentleness and brilliance. You’ll never think of the Capital’s intrigues and misery again."
Shen Yinning kept her head bowed.
Luo Wanzhao gazed at her, several strands of loose hair falling across her forehead. Even without makeup, with messy hair under the dim night, the young woman’s beauty was breathtaking.
A beauty unmatched by all of the concubines her brother treasured in Liang Garden combined.
Unable to resist, she reached out, tenderly brushing the stray strands back into place. "Sister Shen, things have already reached this point. Accepting the Prince is your best choice. Why torture yourself further? Though you’ll be a concubine, even as a concubine to the Prince, your status surpasses being someone else’s primary wife."
Shen Yinning pushed her hand away.
She didn’t like Lu Shiyan in the slightest!
