Shen Roujia turned to Ai Yigu. “Why didn’t you explain? Many things aren’t as we imagine them to be.”
Shen Roujia’s words were simple but carried a deeper meaning.
As she said this, Ai Yigu looked at Shen Roujia with a mix of hesitation and inner conflict.
Shen Roujia, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear, said softly, “Ai Yigu, you’re not a criminal. To me, you’re a friend, and to the people of Wen tribe, you’re a savior.”
Ai Yigu’s eyes reddened with emotion, her voice trembling as she said, “Princess, my brother Ah Lin doesn’t even have a grave. He was thrown into the desert.”
Shen Roujia felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had heard something unbearable. At first, she didn’t think it was anything significant, but even now, she saw Ai Yigu as a remarkably strong person.
Ai Yigu had never insisted on doing something without wavering.
Shen Roujia understood Ai Yigu’s pain, but who else truly understood it?
Despite her thoughts, Shen Roujia knew that Ai Yigu often struggled to express her feelings fully.
Shen Roujia considered her next words carefully, deciding not to fully reveal her thoughts.
She understood her own intentions clearly, so she chose not to share all her emotions with Wen Surong.
Instead, she expressed herself in her own way, making her stance clear.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden turn of events.
After all, Ai Yigu still held the position of a lady, and now that Wen Surong had become the true ruler of the Northern Border, they wouldn’t want a woman from an enemy tribe as a wife.
So, they saw this as an opportunity to eliminate Ai Yigu.
But Shen Roujia’s words disrupted their plans.
