Mrs. Li didn't buy it.
Since I have decided to stand on the side of King Chen, there is no way back. If I don't climb up this high branch as soon as possible, my status will definitely rise when he succeeds in the future.
By then, what role would they, the small county magistrates, have?
Seeing that he couldn't convince anyone, Li Mu simply insisted on doing as he was told, then he threw up his sleeves and left angrily.
Li Jiaojiao was so angry that she almost died, "Mom, look at Daddy."
Mrs. Li snorted coldly, squeezed her daughter's hand comfortingly, and smiled and said,
"Don't worry, sweetheart. Your father is just too timid. He is afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. That's why he has been busy for half his life and can only be a small official."
"From today on, just take care of yourself and keep yourself fair and tender. Don't worry about anything else. Leave this matter to mother."
Li Jiaojiao burst into laughter instantly, nodded heavily, threw herself into Madam Li's arms, and said with a sweet smile,
"Daughters always listen to their mothers. Mothers are the best to their daughters."
Shen Ningzhu had just sent the county magistrate and his daughter away, and the maids withdrew with a look of courtesy, closing the door. At this time, only Shen Ningzhu and Jiang Yanche were left in the room.
"Are you satisfied with this treatment?"
The man leaned lazily against the back of the chair, a slight curve at the corner of his lips, staring at Shen Ningzhu with a half-smile.
Chen Ningzhu calmly picked up the teacup beside her, gently scraped it with the lid, took a sip slowly, then raised her head, smiling with her fox eyes, and said,
"good."
The man uttered a low "huh" and sighed.
"She's really hard to coax. You know, women are more charming when they are a little weaker. Being too stubborn is not a good thing."
"If you really don't want to be Jiang Xuanyan's queen, why not consider me? As long as you help me, I am willing to share the world with you, how about it?"
Shen Ningzhu pursed her lips.
"Your Highness, you are praising me. I am just a little village girl. How can I help you?"
"Of course, help me kill Jiang Xuanyan. In this world, the only person who can kill him is you."
Shen Ningzhu ignored him and continued to drink tea and eat snacks.
Jiang Yanche's eyes gradually dimmed, and he suddenly stood up and said with a forced smile,
"Well, think about it yourself."
"Think it over. Cooperate with me tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you don't. It'll just take a little more effort and cost a few more men. I can afford it.
But after it's done, it's hard to say what the outcome will be for you and your child."
As he spoke, he bent down.
Close to her ear, the cold breath sprayed on her skin, as if a poisonous snake was spitting its tongue at her, making her feel uncomfortable all over and goose bumps appeared instantly.
"Zhuzhu, I know you have some special talents, which I admire and am very interested in."
"If you are well behaved, I will not make things difficult for you or your child, and I will even give you many benefits."
"So, think carefully and take care of yourself."
After saying that, he strode away.
Shen Ningzhu lowered her eyes and sneered.
Her child is already a prince, why would she still need a bicycle? How ridiculous!
Judging from the situation just now, there are two personal servants in this yard, and five people doing odd jobs in the yard.
There were seven people in total, and it seemed that only one maid belonged to Jiang Yanche, while the rest seemed to be from the county magistrate's mansion.
That's easy.
There is still some time before the agreed time tomorrow. Jiang Yanche should be going down to make arrangements, so he probably doesn't have much energy to focus on her.
Chen Ningzhu frowned and thought.
Should I try to escape or wait for Li Jiaojiao to take action?
She had little chance of escaping. She couldn't climb over the high walls on all four sides, and she didn't dare to act rashly for fear of alerting the enemy.
I don't dare to put all my hopes on Li Jiaojiao. What if she doesn't take action before tomorrow?
After much deliberation, Chen Ningzhu decided to wait until midnight. If Li Jiaojiao hadn't made a move by then, she would flee. If that didn't work, she could just find a secluded place to hide.
It got dark quickly.
During this period, Jiang Yanche hurried to see her and saw that she was not crying or making a fuss, and was eating and drinking well.
She asked the maid again and learned that no one had come to cause trouble, and Chen Ningzhu had not even stepped out of the door, so she immediately felt relieved.
Her expression softened a little, and she then told the maid to serve her well and left in a hurry.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he left, a lady in gorgeous clothes came into the room.
The man had a handsome appearance, with a hint of harshness between his eyebrows. He looked to be around 30 or 40 years old. At this moment, he was looking at Shen Ningzhu arrogantly, with contempt in his eyes.
"No wonder the master thinks so highly of you. Look at this watery little face. You are indeed born with the appearance of a foxy woman."
Chen Ningzhu's eyes rolled around, and she suddenly covered her face with her hands, sobbing timidly.
"Madam, please help me. I was abducted by force. Actually, I have a husband and a child. I really don't want to cling to the powerful. I hope Madam will show mercy and let me live."
"Don't worry, as soon as I leave, I will take my husband and child and run far away. We will hide them and make sure no one finds them. I will never bring any harm to Madam."
These words were spoken with such sincerity that Mrs. Li was stunned.
She never expected that the truth would be like this.
"Do you really have a husband and children?"
Shen Ningzhu nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Although my family is not rich, I have no worries about food, my children and husband are my bed-warmth, and my family lives a happy life."
Mrs. Li still didn't quite believe it.
Could it be that there are people who don't covet wealth and glory? You know, even a timid loser like her husband hopes to marry the King of Chen and ascend to heaven.
She half-closed her eyes and looked at Shen Ningzhu sharply for a long time, then winked at the nanny behind her.
The old nanny with a stern face and a serious look came forward, looked at Shen Ningzhu carefully, walked around her slowly, and then nodded to Madam Li.
"She did give birth, and it's been a few years."
Shen Ningzhu raised her eyebrows and thought, this old lady from ancient times is really amazing. She can know so much with just a pair of eyes. It is really shocking.
Mrs. Li finally let it go.
He had originally planned to secretly kill Chen Ningzhu, but now that he saw that she was so sensible, he felt that she was also a pitiful person.
What's more, there are children at home.
Then, I felt pity in my heart. I sighed deeply and said,
"Well, give her some money and send her out through the back door without anyone noticing."
After saying that, he glanced at Shen Ningzhu with a warning look.
"Remember, you'd better keep your word. If I find out you're playing tricks on me, I'll definitely find ways to make sure you die a miserable death."
Chen Ningzhu thanked them profusely and almost regarded them as her adoptive parents.
She also subtly reminded her that there was a little maid with a square face in the yard, who should be Jiang Yanche's person, and asked her to be careful.
