Jiang Ruohua cleared his throat, sat up straight, and spoke again in his natural voice: "I can let you live, and take Miss Yingge with you."

Li Ge was stunned at first, and thought that he had heard something wrong. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Ruohua, as if seeking confirmation.

"The Duke's Mansion is a wealthy and powerful family. You can't do anything with your own strength." Jiang Ruohua said slowly, "Madam Ying's life is not in danger right now. If you want to do something, you must have a backer in the Duke's Mansion."

"If you are willing to work for me, as a deal, after the matter is done, I will let you all leave alive, return your indentures, give you money, and you can live in the outside world like a normal person. How about it?"

Jiang Ruohua stretched out her hand to her, and after testing her, she made her intentions clear: "If you don't want to, I'll leave. You don't have to worry about me coming again. Just pretend that you haven't seen me today."

Li Ge was stunned. Most of the guests in Xiangxue Tower were either rich or noble, especially those who could only see her once. The person in front of her looked no more than twenty years old. But after a moment, Li Ge guessed Jiang Ruohua's identity.

"Sir, no, Miss Jiang, I don't understand what good this will do for you." Li Ge was a little flustered. After a while, she understood that Jiang Ruohua was testing her. It was obvious that her answer satisfied Jiang Ruohua. But for the Duke's Mansion, what was the importance of her and Yingge? Jiang Ruohua had taken great pains to find her and help her enter the Duke's Mansion. He also guaranteed her and Yingge's safety. Even the conditions of the exchange were so tempting that Li Ge had to be cautious.

"Your coming here will naturally bring benefits." Jiang Ruohua would not tell her everything, "but you have a deep network of contacts in Xiangxue Tower, you should understand one thing, the next heir of the Duke's Mansion is my father, not the one who redeemed Aunt Ying."

Li Ge pursed her lips. In the rich and powerful families, the end of fighting for family property is also very tragic. The Jiang family has a high status, but few people. She has deliberately inquired about it, so she naturally knows how many masters there are in the Duke's Mansion and how they are related. The Duke is now old, and in a hundred years his title will fall to his second son, who is also the general who has traveled across the battlefield, but now there is someone else who is in charge of the Duke's Mansion.

No wonder...

"Please help me, Miss." Li Ge asked, "I was born in a humble family, and at most I could enter the house in a sedan chair. I still understand the rules. All I can do is to see if I can use my favor to save Yingge. As for other masters, I can't and dare not waver. I really can't understand, what can I do for you, Miss? Why did you come to see me in person and want to protect me and Yingge?"

"I just want a word of chaos." Jiang Ruohua said, "Aunt Ying, she is pregnant now, but she was previously accused of swapping the soups of the pregnant concubines and the eldest master in the mansion. If she wasn't pregnant, I'm afraid she would have been sold."

"The more things there are, the more chaotic the house will be. You don't need to think about whether you should do more for me. If there is no need, I, Jiang Ruohua, don't like to use benefits to lure others to work for me." Jiang Ruohua said calmly, "Sometimes people may not take the initiative to do anything bad, but they have become bad people in the eyes of some people. You just need to do what you want to do, and that's what I want most. There are some things I may not be able to do, but you do it just right."

What Li Ge wanted to do was nothing more than hoping that her best sister could survive, and for this she was willing to give up her good life and enter the Jiang family. She couldn't guess what Jiang Ruohua was planning from this, and Jiang Ruohua didn't intend to tell her everything, but the opportunity was in front of her, and Li Ge thought she couldn't refuse it.

"Please give me some advice, Miss. I want to see Yingge as soon as possible." She kowtowed again. If she approached the Third Master of the Jiang Family on her own, the risks were unknown. Entering the door was just the first step. It was very likely that she would be isolated and helpless after entering, and she would be deeply trapped. If she had Jiang Ruhua as a backer, some things would be covered, and she would not have to be afraid.

In fact, many of the women that Third Master Jiang had in the past were redeemed from places like brothels and theaters. The reason was simple. Compared with girls raised by decent families, women from these places would please him and flatter him more. In fact, it didn't matter who they were. Third Master Jiang might not really like them. He just enjoyed the feeling of having a beautiful woman again.

Jiang Ruohua knew this from her dream. The officials who were courting Jiang Sanye found that it was better to find a skinny woman to present to Jiang Sanye than to send their own concubines to consolidate the relationship. There were so many women in the Duke's Mansion at that time, all of whom were specially trained to enjoy the pleasures of men.

Therefore, there was nothing special to tell Li Ge. She only needed to use her unique skills of seducing men to approach Jiang Sanye, and Jiang Sanye would definitely fall for it.

As for when Jiang Sanye would choose to visit Xiangxue Tower, Jiang Ruohua also had a rough guess. After telling Li Ge about this, it was getting late, so she wanted to leave.

[Why hasn't he come yet...]

Her body paused after she stepped over the threshold. Li Ge, who was escorting her out from behind, was startled and asked carefully: "... Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Ruohua looked around quickly. She heard a voice, which meant that King Ying was nearby!

"Nothing." Jiang Ruohua whispered, "You don't have to see me off."

Li Ge nodded, responded and stopped, holding the zither and returning to her room. With her status, it was best not to ask too many questions. Knowing too much would not do her any good.

But after Li Ge left, there was no one around. There were sparse lights on in the surrounding compartments, and most of them were very quiet. Jiang Ruohua stood there and listened attentively. After so many times, she had already determined that it was not an auditory hallucination. God gave her a favor, allowing her to hear what the dog man was thinking in his heart. She must make good use of it!

[I am so sleepy... If I don’t finish my work and go back to sleep, I won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow! ]

The sad voice sounded very clear to Jiang Ruohua, and the silence around her made Jiang Ruohua fall into deep thought. In her impression, the dog man who had always been unsmiling, cold-hearted and obsessed with government affairs seemed to be two different people in his heart. He met her again and again like a ghost, and she seemed to hear his constant complaints every time.

If she thinks calmly, this bastard is indeed quite different from the one before and the King of Ying in her dream. However, no one else can hear her inner voice like her. Jiang Ruhua has always kept this doubt in her heart and never mentioned it to anyone. She also hopes to have more chances to confirm it.
