What puzzled Zhou Bingyi even more was Jiang Yifan. Jiang Yifan had been so extremely incompatible with his former wife that he was willing to ruin his prospects, seizing the opportunity to divorce her, and then, in a flash, he was demoted to the position of county magistrate in Qingyuan County. That was a man who could walk beside the Emperor as an Imperial Censor, and compared to a remote county magistrate, the difference was astronomical.
A woman who bore a striking resemblance to his ex-wife should have triggered his unpleasant memories, yet why did he go to such lengths to protect that woman?
The more Zhou Bingyi thought about it, the more troubled his mind became. He had thought it through quite well; his daughter was smart and beautiful, with exemplary conduct. If only she could catch Prince Yu's eye, even if she could not become the princess consort, being a high-ranking concubine would also do. Who knew that Qi Ye would appear out of nowhere?
