Wild Crimson Rose: Beloved Handyman Prince's Courtesan Wife Chapter 102

There was only one more match that day so everyone left the plaza at noon . The next round of matches were more or less already decided .

'Us, that Junzhu Wen Ya's pair, and the gay couple of the Crown Prince will all be in the next round of matches so that's fun . ' Shen Tianyu thought . 'Both of them seem like interesting people . . . Let's see what I can gleam from their swordplay!'

Looking at Shen Tianyu's slight smile as they left the plaza for the day, Rong Jian's eyes also gleamed with a joyful light . 'Tian'er seems to be having fun, it's good as long as she's happy . '

Shen Tianyu leaned into him and spoke to him in a low voice . "Don't you think the pair of royal siblings are quite interesting?"

"Why does Tian'er think so?"

"They both mutually ignore each other . The Crown Prince is one thing, but the Junzhu Wen Ya with her reputation, would also ignore the Crown Prince, don't you think it strange?" Rong Jian tilted his head, encouraging her to go on .

"Since we've first seen them at the start of the Tournament, they have never once looked at the other, have you noticed?" Being asked such a question, Rong Jian shook his head . He only ever paid attention to the little devil by his side, why would he go care about some other low-end animal? Much less a man! He really has not noticed whether the two Imperial-born participants of the Tournament ever looked at each other or not .

"With the Junzhu's reputation, one would think she would interact with the direct Imperial descendants in some way . Either hang around and curry favor with them to prove her favored status, or be at odds with them to show off her haughtiness . Yet, regardless of the rumors, she has not done either this whole time . " Now that his loved one mentions it, he indeed have not seen either of them interact, whether initiating interactions or something else . They didn't even send messengers to go between them . They each acted as if the other didn't exist .

"What if this was all pre-planned then?" Rong Jian asked his analytical genius of a wife .

"If it was, why is that?" Shen Tianyu didn't deny his suggestion and started to discuss the possibilities assuming that was the case . "If it was to blow away the bad rumors about her and her bad reputation, then that is unlikely . If she really wanted to do so, so bad, she would have held herself back a little more . At the very least, she would not have publicly scolded her partner in such a loud voice . Or was it to further alienate her from the Imperial Family in order to keep the reputation of the direct descendants? That option might be more likely . After all, with her confirmed talent, it would be detrimental to cut her off completely or kill her . Even if they don't like her, they could still marry her to a faithful follower or more distant cousin in order to create a more talented descendant, then take that child under their wing, and eventually make them into a subordinate of sorts . Not to mention the amount of effort it would take to kill her and cover it up . People pay attention to big things after all, good or bad . Such a hated Junzhu disappearing overnight, even if the people were happy, they would still question it . Pinning some crime on her after all this time of favoritism would also be hard . Sine the rumors tell of her favor, I'm guessing they plan to marry her off and somehow bind or enslave her descendants in order to use their talents for their own gains . The rumors, however, paint her as an unreasonable and haughty person, for her to agree to such a request, definitely does not fit her image . If she did agree to such a kind of request, it means she isn't as reasonable as the rumors make her seem . Which brings to mind another question, does she know about the rumors surrounding her? Is she acting for all to see or following the rumors? If it's the latter, for what purpose? Does she hate the Imperial Family for treating her in such a way?" Shen Tianyu stretched, catching her breathe from all the talking . "Well, one shouldn't speculate too much . There are so many uncertain factors, if we think to deeply, our head would hurt before we even get close to the answer . These kinds of things, it's better o ask the people in question, and you will only get your answer if they are willing to grace you with that knowledge . " She turned to Rong Jian, who had been listening intently to her rant, and hugged his arm . "Anyways, we're not trying to do anything to this country so it really doesn't matter if we know or not, it's really just a matter of curiosity . "

Of course, Shen Tianyu could have Yaodu find out for her but she didn't want to . Rather than relying on others and some unknown abilities from who knows where, she'd rather rely on herself to find answers . She was already weak, she didn't want to be more of a burden to her family, the family that actually raised her, what she considers her real family . She was grateful for her space and the abilities it gave her, but in the end, she didn't know where they originated from, whether it was a good or bad thing . Also, it was a treasure trove of priceless techniques and artifacts . If people knew, they would most likely chase her down into the depths of hell to obtain it . This made her even more wary of her space . Even now that she is able to obtain abilities from it, she still has not used the abilities she has acquired and only use it as a safe for all her items, just like before .

'Sigh . . . if only it was something more easily hidden like medical skills or something . With those, you can at least bluff it off as some great hermit sage teacher, but with these . . . Where would one find such a generous teacher to give such great techniques to their disciples? Even if I could brush it off, people would definitely cling to me like a parasite or look into my background, trying to find this "generous master" they could apprentice themselves to . ' Shen Tianyu lamented the dilemma of possessing a jade ring(1) . For some reason, her thought patterns jumped to a completely different subject from the pair of royal siblings .
