Miss Truth

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the residence, Ran Yun hesitated to speak several times but eventually asked, "Brother, are you troubled by something?"

Ran Yunsheng sighed. He really hadn’t disguised himself well enough. "Yes, I got into some trouble in Luoyang."

Ran Yan straightened up as well. She clearly remembered that when Ran Yunsheng returned from Luoyang with medicine during their time in Jushui County, his expression had been somewhat off. She couldn’t help blurting out, "Has some person of power taken a fancy to you? A husband or a wife?"

Anxious, Ran Yun didn’t notice the phrasing Ran Yan used. Seeing Ran Yunsheng hesitating, she pressed urgently, "Brother, please tell us, a husband or a wife? Which family’s?"

After asking, Ran Yun was stunned. Ran Yunsheng’s face turned crimson with embarrassment and annoyance, "I am the husband! The other party is naturally a wife!"

Ran Yan felt no embarrassment because Ran Yunsheng’s appearance indeed made it easy for one to misunderstand. Besides, what was there to hide if a lady took a liking to him? Could it be that the lady was of high status but extremely ugly? Or perhaps she had a terrible personality?

Ran Yan thought that if Ran Yunsheng could tolerate her own cold and unyielding personality, what couldn’t he tolerate?

"It’s... Princess Baling," Ran Yunsheng said dejectedly.

Ran Yun’s mouth fell open, and her complexion turned a bit pale.

"Princess Baling? She..." Ran Yan recalled carefully. Princess Baling was her initial title, and later she was known as Princess Beijin. In history, this princess was married to Chai Lingwu and later became involved in Princess Gaoyang’s conspiracy case, leading to her being sentenced to death. Her husband committed suicide, and even after his death, his body was mutilated, and Princess Beijin was not granted the honor of being buried in the imperial mausoleum.
