The Double

"Three men make a tiger," as the saying goes, and "When many mouths speak, even gold can be melted." To clear her name completely, Princess Yongning would have to sever ties with the Shen family and never associate with Shen Yurong again.

But the question is, can Princess Yongning do it?

Jiang Li believed that Princess Yongning definitely could not do it. Otherwise, she would not have preferred to kill herself rather than be without Shen Yurong. So ruthless and domineering, Princess Yongning always ensured she got what she set her mind on. Regardless of the consequences, even if it meant bearing the suspicion of this crime, she would insist on marrying Shen Yurong.

But could Shen Yurong turn a blind eye to all this?

After all, they shared a bed as intimate partners. Though she failed to see his true ambitions in her former life, she still understood his general temperament after years of marriage. Shen Yurong was naturally cautious and thorough in his actions. He would certainly not let Yongning do this at this critical juncture.

Still, Yongning had reached the age of discussing marriage. To completely avoid the limelight, waiting another three to five years would be unfeasible. Therefore, there had to be discord and complications arising from this matter between Yongning and Shen Yurong.

That would be her opportunity.

Jiang Li’s gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hall: Prince Cheng’s furious dismay, Li Zhongnan’s irritation, Jiang Yuanbai’s astonishment, Ji Yanlin’s perplexity, Ye Shijie’s amazement, Shen Yurong’s feigned composure, Emperor Hongxiao’s meaningful expression, and Jih Heng’s smile.
