Li Ji fell into a long silence.
If he really didn't care, why would he have rushed to the Duke Zhen Country Mansion immediately after learning of Princess Rouwan's suicide?
Hua Manman took his hand and spoke gently.
"Don't make a decision you'll regret in a fit of pique."
Li Ji looked down at his hand in hers. After a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice.
"I'll stay here with you."
Hua Manman shook her head. "There's no need. You still have to accompany the Saint to Yuqing Mountain tomorrow to escape the summer heat.
If you suddenly change your mind and decide not to go, it will be difficult to explain things to the Saint.
Besides, even if the Saint doesn't mind, the Commandery Princess's resentment will still be there.
Your presence here will only make her feel worse.
That would do more harm than good for her recovery."
Her words were harsh, but they were the truth.
Li Ji was at a loss for words.
Hua Manman squeezed his hand a little tighter.
