But this is a trap set for you.
Although this was the truth, Princess Jingyi naturally could not say it out loud.
She remained silent.
Jiang Li took advantage of the situation.
"Miss, how much silver does your father owe?" Jiang Li squatted down and looked at the woman.
The other person was so frightened that he forgot to cry.
He looked around and said with a grumble, "Fifty, fifty taels."
Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, "Princess Jingyi has always been generous. Don't worry, let alone fifty taels, even if it's a hundred taels, she would be willing to help you through this difficult time."
"Isn't that right, Princess Jingyi?"
Glancing at Gu Yuyan, the little girl immediately understood something, "Aunt Imperial, if Princess Jingyi is reluctant to part with the money, then let Xiaojiu help this girl. Then you can tell the Imperial Grandmother that Princess Jingyi either doesn't want to help or doesn't have the money."
She is the daughter of a prince, but she doesn't even have fifty taels of silver. Who would believe it if they told others about it?
Princess Jingyi's face turned red with anger. She clenched her fists and looked at Gu Yuyan viciously.
"Oh, don't look at Princess Jingling's young age, she is a good elder!"
"Yeah, you could have established a good reputation for yourself, but you gave the opportunity to the younger generation!"
"That's right. Look at the Ninth Princess, she follows the princess all day long. She's kindhearted as well. It's great! If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be like Princess Jingling!"
“…”
The onlookers were talking to each other, causing everyone's eyes to look at Princess Jingyi to change.
"Aunt Huang, look at her! I was kind enough to help her find a way out, but she glared at me!"
Gu Yuyan hid behind Jiang Li and added another sentence, finally letting out all her anger.
"Princess Jingyi, why don't you just pay the money and let's go?"
A woman behind Jingyi whispered, "Everyone is watching."
The other person also blushed, "Yeah, if you really don't have money, I can help you pay for it."
After all, they are ladies from noble families. What's wrong with them being stared at like that by so many people?
Several people wanted to pretend that they didn't know Princess Jingyi. If they had known this would happen today, they would not have gone out with her. Every time they met Princess Jingling with Princess Jingyi, nothing good happened.
"Alright, Princess Jingyi, if it's really difficult, forget it. Just pretend that Auntie Huang didn't say anything." Jiang Li retreated to advance. "How about this, Baizhi, you give this girl a hundred taels. Let's just make a good relationship..."
"I'll go."
Princess Jingyi pursed her lips and blurted out two words after a while.
"It's just fifty taels. I'll pay for it."
Jiang Li corrected him upon hearing this: "Jingyi, this is not about the money. You are helping others solve their problems now. This is a way to accumulate merit for yourself. Do you understand?"
"As the saying goes, help someone to the end, and send a Buddha to the west. Since you want to help this girl, you should know that fifty taels can only help her father pay off his debts. It is so difficult for a woman to live in this world. In my opinion, you should either take her back or give her some more silver so that she can find a place to stay."
As Jiang Li spoke, everyone nodded, saying that Princess Jingling was a kind person who knew how to teach children, and that she was worthy of being the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Xue.
"One hundred taels, here you go!"
Jingyi gritted her teeth and pulled out a hundred taels of silver from her sleeve. She held back the tears that were about to flow for a long time.
Last time, Jiang Li tricked her into ordering medicinal food, and not only did she spend all the monthly allowance she had saved, she also had to ask her mother for a lot of silver to make up the remaining money. She was scolded a lot because of that.
This one hundred taels was what she had just saved up in the past few months, and she ended up spending it all at once. Princess Jingyi didn't want to talk at all now. She just wanted to find a place where no one was around and cry.
The woman kneeling on the ground was completely stunned.
This is not what the man planned.
"Go on, young lady, why don't you thank Princess Jingyi quickly?"
Jiang Li reminded him loudly, and then comforted him, "It is said that fortune and misfortune are interdependent. Your fortune is still to come. Hurry up and take care of your father's funeral."
Even after Jiang Li left, everyone's praise for her did not stop.
As for Princess Jingyi——
“Bang!”
Gu Yanheng came up and slapped him.
"Third brother! Don't blame me for this!"
Jingyi covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't call me Third Brother, you idiot! If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use are you?"
Gu Yanheng was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot with anger.
Qin Ji told him a few days ago that the leader of the Wuxiang Sect finally agreed to take action against the prince, on the condition that they must kill Jiang Li.
That's why they arranged for the woman to kneel there for a few days. Finally, they caught Jiang Li and wanted Jingyi to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. Unexpectedly, such a good opportunity was ruined by her.
"Cry, cry, cry! Go away and cry. It makes me upset just watching you!"
Glancing at the teacup beside him, Gu Yanheng grabbed it and threw it directly at Princess Jingyi, "Get out!"
Princess Jingyi felt extremely aggrieved after losing money and being scolded. She covered her face and rushed out.
"Jiang Li!" Gu Yanheng gritted his teeth, "Don't even think about stopping me from becoming the crown prince."
"Someone, go tell Qin Ji to make that woman kneel at the gate of Prince Jingling's mansion. If she can't get close to Jiang Li, she will never see her father again!"
"yes!"
On the other side, Jiang Maoshan was reminiscing with his friends in a restaurant. He had been tormenting his third brother at home for the past two days, and now that he had finally had enough, he came out to keep the appointment.
Before I even started eating, I heard a few people at the next table talking about how Princess Jingling and Princess Jingyi rescued a girl.
My sister is out?
Jiang Maoshan instantly became alert.
Knowing that Jiang Li was tired after his trip out of the capital and would rest in the palace for a few days, none of the brothers dared to disturb him.
