"Father, do you know how the richest man in the previous dynasty died?"
Jiang Li had a faint smile on her lips. Without waiting for Jiang Sheng to speak, she stood up and said, "You have such a big appetite. You must have died of overeating."
Without paying any attention to the expressions of Jiang Sheng and Zhou, Jiang Li raised her hand slightly and brushed a strand of tassels on her forehead behind her ear.
"The past is a lesson for the future. With only eighteen bags of dowry, you wanted to buy Jiang Shengsheng a position as a concubine in the Jingling Palace. How could you come up with such a petty idea? Aunt Zhou, are you using the cloth you used to bind your feet to bind your head?"
As Jiang Li reached the threshold, he thought of something, looked back, and smiled coldly, "Oh, by the way, father, I heard that the Bai family in the south of the city recently won a big deal. Mr. Bai said that it was all thanks to Madam Bai's help in navigating the worldly affairs. Look, they are both wives of wealthy families, but the difference is really huge."
"Jiang Li!" Zhou finally couldn't control her temper, and the red rash on her face once again covered her entire face with anger.
Jiang Sheng was already furious at Jiang Li's words. He turned to look at Zhou and became even more annoyed. He stood up and went out to Lvliu Residence, too lazy to say any more nonsense to Zhou.
"Mom, Jiang Li is going too far!"
Jiang Shengsheng walked out from behind the screen with a look of hatred on her face.
Zhou patted the back of Jiang Shengsheng's hand and said through gritted teeth, "If she's unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Since she doesn't agree to let you marry her, then she can forget about this marriage!"
After saying that, a vicious plan took root in Zhou's mind, and she didn't even notice that the rash on her face suddenly appeared again and whiteheads began to appear.
"Miss, this is a post from the Princess of Yong'an County."
After returning to Liyu Pavilion, Jiang Li noticed that the invitation brought by the housekeeper was actually sent by Princess Yong'an.
"Hundred Flowers Club?"
The original book mentioned that the Hundred Flowers Festival was an annual talent show for talented men and women in the capital. Jiang Li had always been a notorious loser and was not qualified to participate at all. Unexpectedly, she was granted a marriage and received an invitation letter. It was quite interesting.
But this Yong'an County Master...
According to the original owner's memory, the two had never had any intersection, and the original book didn't seem to describe this person much, so Jiang Li didn't have much impression of him.
"The Princess of Yong'an likes our prince."
Mo Qi's figure appeared outside the door, and Bai Zhi was shocked. "You walk without making any sound?!"
Mo Qi raised his eyebrows while holding his sword, "You are even more timid than a grain of rice!"
After that, he continued with a serious face, "Don't worry, young lady, our prince has absolutely no feelings for her, it's just..."
After Mo Qi finished introducing the women who had pursued Gu Qingchen over the years, Jiang Li expressed her confusion but was greatly shocked.
What do they mean by as long as Gu Qingchen doesn't kill them, they feel they are different?
As expected, no matter what time it is, there is no cure for love brain.
"I've heard that the Princess of Yong'an isn't someone to be trifled with. She's clearly trying to cause trouble by inviting you, young lady, to a banquet. In my opinion, should I just reject this invitation?"
Jiang Li shook her head. "Silly girl, think about it. They've been thinking about this for half their lives, and I got it without any effort. Doesn't that sound infuriating?"
Bai Zhi nodded.
"Then shouldn't we go and comfort these sad people, based on both emotion and reason?" I heard that it's easy to make money from those who are in love. If we can take the opportunity to sell some whitening pills and facial masks... The grim smile on Jiang Li's face became more and more obvious. Bai Zhi was puzzled, while Mo Qi began to worry about the Princess of Yong'an County.
That night.
Mingyue Garden.
"Miss, it's already this late, are you still going out?"
Jiang Shengsheng quietly opened the gate and when no one turned around, she said, "If Madam comes later, tell her I'm asleep. Don't let anyone know I'm out."
When Jiang Shengsheng returned from the main courtyard in the afternoon, she found a note in the room saying that they would meet at Shuiyun Tower at 11:00 PM tonight. The note was signed by Qin San.
There was no curfew in the Daning Dynasty, so even at this time, the streets were still brightly lit and bustling with people.
Jiang Shengsheng was only thinking about how to convince Mr. Qin San to help her deal with Brother Qin Ji. Although the prince would look better, it would be safer to leave a way out for herself. She didn't notice that there was a figure following the carriage all the way.
"Second Miss Jiang is on time."
The door of the box was pushed open and Mr. Qin Sanye had arrived.
Unlike Qin Ji and his son, the third master Qin was born to the second branch of the Qin family. He had a very ordinary appearance. In addition, he had been living a life of luxury and extravagance for many years, and his face was covered with fat, and even his neck was covered with layers of fat.
He looked at Jiang Shengsheng in the candlelight with a vulgar look in his eyes.
Jiang Shengsheng frowned, suppressed her disgust and sat opposite Mr. Qin Sanye.
"Now that the marriage between the Jiang and Qin families has been ruined, Third Master Qin is looking for Shengsheng now. Have you thought of a solution?" Jiang Shengsheng looked at Third Master Qin with innocent eyes. Her gentle and weak look made Third Master Qin's heart move.
Mr. Qin San didn't think too much about it for a moment.
He just rubbed his chin. After all, when he left the Jiang family that day, it was Jiang Shengsheng who took the initiative to ask him to find a way for her to meet Qin Ji. Later, he sent her maid to say that they would meet in three days.
He had wanted to come over and take a look today, but he didn't expect her to actually come.
However, from what Jiang Shengsheng said, she seemed to be unaware that Qin Chuan was originally planning to change the Qin family's marriage to her?
"Since I'm personally taking action, there must be a way, but..." Mr. Qin San felt that he had gotten a great bargain. He stared at Jiang Shengsheng with burning eyes, full of evil thoughts.
The man's breathing became heavier. Before Jiang Shengsheng could feel happy, he reached across the table and grabbed her hand. "Since you want to marry into our Qin family, don't you have to serve me, your third uncle, well?"
…
Mo Qi reported to Jiang Li what he saw during the tracking with a red face.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment and signaled Mo Qi to retreat.
She quickly walked to the window and took a few deep breaths of the cool night air, and the nausea in her heart was finally suppressed.
Unexpectedly, her unintentional move would twist the story into such a twist. Jiang Li had expected Third Master Qin to do something strange, but she never expected him to be so bold.
Perhaps even Jiang Shengsheng didn't expect that the richer the family, the more unimaginable the dirty things in the backyard.
Never mind, greed is insatiable. Everyone must be responsible for their own choices, and she, Jiang Li, has never been a good person.
&&&
Three days later, Jiang Li went to the Hundred Flowers Festival as promised.
As soon as I walked out of the Jiang Mansion, I saw a carriage stopped.
A young girl in plain brocade clothes came out of the carriage with her back bent. When she saw Jiang Li, her face flushed slightly, showing both joy and shyness.
"This humble girl greets the Ninth Princess."
It was not until the other person walked in front of him that Jiang Li recognized that the girl was the Ninth Princess.
In just four days, he'd lost so much weight. After eating a light diet, the swelling had completely disappeared, his facial features had gradually become more defined, and he looked refreshed. Judging by the appearance, he'd lost about ten pounds.
"Aunt Huang, please...get up."
Gu Yuyan hurriedly helped Jiang Li up, then put her hands behind her back a little embarrassedly, interlaced her fingers, bit her lower lip lightly, and looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.
