Cheng Ying was almost laughing out of anger. This heartless guy really knew how to poke his trachea. He closed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Liu Yuning, I really want to strangle you to death, you ungrateful little bastard!"
He pinched her chin with more force, causing Yu Jiao's bones to ache and tears to well up in her eyes.
Yu Jiao stared at Cheng Ying coldly, took out a sachet containing a small portrait of Liang Wushuang from her sleeve, threw it at Cheng Ying, and sneered, "You're really ridiculous when you say that you're using the seal. Don't pretend to be so sincere. I can't afford to be called an ungrateful person!"
Cheng Ying frowned slightly when he saw the sachet. He wore it close to his body, so he naturally recognized it. Glancing at the flash of moisture in Yu Jiao's eyes, he loosened his fingers that were pinching her chin. Seeing his fingerprints left on Yu Jiao's fair skin, Cheng Ying curled his knuckles slightly and went to pick up the fallen sachet.
Seeing that the small red statue was still intact inside, he closed the sachet and hung it around his waist, but he didn't understand how the sachet had provoked Yu Jiao.
"Use?" Cheng Ying also sneered, "Why don't you tell me how I have used you?" He thought he treated the little girl well and had more patience than others. However, he had never really punished her even though she contradicted and offended him time and time again, let alone used her!
Yu Jiao looked at him, mocking him for asking a question that he already knew the answer for. "You used me as a cover, and made a big show of adopting me as your adopted daughter, wanting others to think that you treat me differently. Aren't you just trying to make me a shield for Liang Wushuang?" She looked directly into Cheng Ying's eyes and sneered, "Master Cheng has all the power in the world, but are you afraid that you can't protect Liang Wushuang, who is so dear to your heart? You have prepared for her to such an extent, but it's ridiculous that she still regards me as a thorn in her side! I shouldn't have gone against her. I should be grateful that you showed mercy last time."
Cheng Ying felt both angry and amused when she heard this. Thinking of the small portrait of her junior sister in the sachet, she realized that Yu Jiao had misunderstood. She felt that her anger was unnecessary, but she had no way to explain it.
Seeing Cheng Ying remained silent, Yu Jiao thought she had exposed her plan. Cheng Ying had nothing to say. She straightened herself up, tidied up her clothes that were messed up by Cheng Ying, and continued to sneer, "Why did the prince plot against me? You know it very well, but you still pretend to support me. Master Cheng is really good at acting!"
"You are quite smart!" Cheng Ying was no longer angry. He chuckled and just wanted to see what other unpleasant words this little girl could say!
Yu Jiao straightened the wrinkles on her dress and calmed down. She had indeed spoken too recklessly in her anger just now. Now that she had a fight, there was nothing to hide.
She said calmly, "You hold the power of life and death, high above you. I am just a blade of grass among the common people. Please let me go. I don't want to get involved in the gossip in the capital. I just want to live an ordinary life. If you want to adopt a daughter, there are many girls in Shengjing for you to choose from. You don't have to keep staring at me. I will keep my mouth shut about what happened today and what happened between you and Liang Wushuang, and I will never let a word out."
Cheng Ying stared at her with interest. "But I don't care about other people, but I think you are interesting and I have to have you. Besides, I am a person who holds grudges. You dare to contradict me like this, do you still want to get away with it?"
Yu Jiao had a cold expression on her face. "Does Palm Seal want to take my life?"
At this moment, the curtain was suddenly opened, accompanied by Gu Yun's anxious voice, "Yu Jiao!"
