Chapter 1560 The Ku Family
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Yue curtsied solemnly after she accepted the token. For her, this token was the greatest guarantee for her to be able to live well.
At the very least, she didn't have to live while worrying whether she would be killed in the next moment or not. Living in such state for so many years, her body had already felt the toil and Princess Yue herself didn't want to stay in such way.
She had longed to live better.
Back when Emperor Yang Zhou just took over Zhang Xu Kingdom, it was an oral promise that she could stay alive and do whatever she wanted. Now, this token proved that Emperor Yang Zhou remembered.
Princess Yue put her heart down.
After taking the token, Princess Yue slowly walked away.
Emperor Yang Zhou watched his half sister head out and then buried his head on his own business again.
At the side, Long Qian Xing shook his head lightly but said nothing.
…
<Long distance away, Ku Family in Liang City>
The fact that the Jian Family members were executed came to their ears. Jian Yu Tan, General Chi's former wife, was worried day and night that after her family members had passed away, they would come to her.
Her sister and Empress Lang were in the palace with an unknown fate. Some said that they might have been executed too and some others said that they had been sent to the Cold Palace.
In the Ku Family, Jian Yu Tan had been hiding while waiting dreadfully. There were some feelings that was left within her heart, unable to be brought out in the slightest bit. But there hadn't been any regret for leaving General Chi in the first place.
Because Ku Family is much better than the Chi Family.
Her marriage with General Chi was an arrangement from her father. At that time, Jian Yu Tan was unwilling.
Because she knew that General Chi came from an ordinary background.
But she was just a weak young lady in Jian Family.
Her sisters and cousins have all been arranged for various other marriages to strengthen Jian Family and grow their influences.
She has the same fate.
She was resentful, but she has to put away these thoughts and feelings deep inside her heart. Living a live with a mask on her face has always been something that she did and proficient with.
Because only in this way would she be able to obtain what she wanted.
In the first few years living with General Chi, Jian Yu Tan slowly calmed down and accepted the arrangement.
General Chi came from an ordinary background, so he was more of a rough person. It was hard for her to appreciate a man who didn't know much culture.
But General Chi was willing to work hard.
He worked hard to learn how to read and to appreciate the culture in order to be able to understand her better.
Jian Yu Tan would be lying if she said that she was not moved during that time.
lightsnοvεl.cοm But it didn't mean she loved him.
She had children and spent her time in the residence. At that time, she thought that this would be her entire life, staying in the residence, waiting for her husband while raising her children.
But she was wrong.
That day, the news came that the army was defeated and that General Chi was responsible.
Jian Yu Tan couldn't believe it.
There were many generals in Zhang Xu Kingdom, why did they point towards General Chi?
How come it's his mistake?
Her family came to her, telling her the process and the fact that it was because General Chi is the only survivor and has no background that they chose him for the blame. They were not willing to be blamed even if the one who made mistakes were not actually General Chi.
It was ridiculous.
Jian Yu Tan felt annoyed at that time because she knew that General Chi's fate would also affect her fate.
This made her annoyed.
But her father offered to take her back to the Jian Family along with her children. They were willing to raise her and her children.
Jian Yu Tan agreed.
Because she knew that the Jian Family is much bigger and much more powerful compared to the Chi Family that only rise because of General Chi's existence.
Her children, Chi Song Lian chose to go with General Chi to Fei Yang Kingdom while Chi Song Hui stayed with her.
She tried to coax the two children to go with her, but Chi Song Lian was unexpectedly firm. As he was also older, Chi Song Lian has his own thoughts and Jian Yu Tan couldn't persuade him, so it was how things ended back then.
The two of them separated and lived their own lives.
"Madam, Master is looking for you." A maidservant came and curtsied.
Jian Yu Tan raised her head, looking at the person who came towards her and nodded her head lightly. "Yes. Are there anything else?"
"No, Madam."
Jian Yu Tian stood up, her mind was still thinking about her relationship with General Chi back then.
To be honest, she had no intention to contact him anymore at the beginning.
After all, the Jian Family is much better than the Chi Family and could support her well. There were a lot of money there.
But then Jian Yu Tian realized that the main reason why her father brought her back was for her children.
As General Chi's son, Chi Song Hui has an exceptional talent for martial arts. It was to the point that many people would be jealous with his talent and ability.
This made Jian Yu Tan amazed.
Because she knew very well that the rest of the people in Chi Family were not good at martial arts.
For this matter, her father only told her two sentences, "Not everything you see is the truth, Yu Tan. Sometimes, there are things that you can't think of."
