Princess Jingyi was woken up by the cold.
At first, she thought she had arrived in another world, until she met that man.
"Jiang... Fourth Young Master Jiang."
Last time, she heard Jiang Li call him Fourth Brother.
Jiang Zhong touched his nose and responded softly.
I never thought that one day I would have to help the fourth brother deal with his love affairs.
Looking at the broken safety rope, Jingyi sneered, it was really sarcastic.
"Why did you save me?"
It was he who had thrown her into an irretrievable situation, and now it was also him who saved her.
"If you are not afraid of death, why should you be afraid of life?" Jiang Zhong asked, "Tell me about it."
"say what?"
Jingyi was stunned by his sudden question.
"Tell me, why do you want to commit suicide? Tell me about your father, your mother, and your brothers and sisters. Is it possible that there is no one you care about anymore?"
While Princess Jingyi was lost in thought, Jiang Li also received a letter asking for help.
"Qin Shuang'er?"
Seeing the name signed on the letter, Jiang Li was stunned at first, then realized that it was she who arranged for Qin Shuang'er to fake her death at the celebration banquet, and then asked Mo Qi to hide the person in the manor.
"How could she..."
Jiang Li had previously told Mo Qi to find time to send Qin Shuang'er away after the New Year.
Who could have imagined that such an accident would happen.
When Jiang Li rushed to the farm, she found out that Qin Shuang'er had been staying in her room since she came back yesterday.
“Bang, bang—”
Mo Xiaoxiao knocked on the door so loudly that Qin Shuang'er was startled.
"It's me."
It was not until Jiang Li's voice sounded that Qin Shuang'er breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and opened the door.
Upon seeing Jiang Li, Qin Shuang'er fell to her knees and said, "Princess, save me, please save me."
Qin Shuang'er's face was extremely pale, and she didn't know what had frightened her like this.
"what is going on?"
After Jiang Li sat down, Qin Shuang'er quickly stood up and closed the door.
Kneeling on the ground again.
"I...I killed someone."
"What?"
Jiang Li asked Xiaoxiao to pull the man up. Zhuangzi is not like the palace, and this room is much colder.
Even after sitting for a short while, Jiang Li felt his hands were getting much colder.
Soon, the old couple from the village brought the burning charcoal.
This is much warmer.
"Who did you kill?"
The letter for help only said that something serious had happened. Seeing Qin Shuang'er like this, Jiang Li asked the old couple to bring a bowl of ginger soup to Qin Shuang'er. After drinking it, Qin Shuang'er seemed to come to her senses.
"I...I pushed Madam Qin down."
Qin Shuang'er clenched her fists and said excitedly, "I, I didn't mean to do that. She recognized me and wanted to send me to see the official."
Qin Shuang'er has been living in the farm for a while now. Everyone thought she was dead. Therefore, although the environment was slightly worse than before, she felt comfortable without the twists and turns and coercion she had when she was in the Qin family.
But she didn't expect that she would meet Mrs. Qin, Qin Ji's mother, here.
Coincidentally, the farm was the private property left to Jiang Li by her adoptive mother. The farm was located halfway up the mountain, along with some farmland. There were not many houses nearby, and apart from an old couple who guarded the farm, no one else could be seen on weekdays.
Yesterday evening, Qin Shuang'er was enjoying the scenery near the farm as usual. It was cold on the mountain and a lot of snow had not melted yet, which gave it a unique elegance.
Unexpectedly, a woman came suddenly and said that she was coming back from Songshan Temple and her carriage was stuck in the mud. The servants had already gone to find someone to help. The weather was too cold, so she wanted to find a house to rest first.
When Qin Shuang'er turned around, both sides were stunned.
Madam Qin recognized the woman in front of her as Qin Shuang'er at a glance and immediately shouted, "You...you are not dead!"
After saying this, he immediately asked the nanny beside him to capture the person and take her back to Beijing to meet the officials.
Qin Shuang'er was anxious and subconsciously started to wrestle with the nanny. In the past few months on the farm, Qin Shuang'er had done some work with the old couple on the farm, so her strength had increased a lot.
As the ice and snow on the ground had not melted yet, she pushed the nun off the cliff with a single push.
Madam Qin pointed at Qin Shuang'er and threatened, "You, you deceived your superiors and subordinates, and now you've even killed someone. I'm telling you, if you come back with me obediently, I can ask the Prime Minister to spare your life, but if..."
Before Mrs. Qin could finish her words, Qin Shuang'er stepped forward, knocked the person to the ground with one force, then used all her strength to drag the person to the edge of the cliff and pushed him down.
"I just want a way to survive, so..."
After Qin Shuang'er pushed the two people down, she became more and more scared the more she thought about it.
Although no one saw it at the time, if the Qin family sent someone to find her, she would be dead, so after thinking it over, she decided to send a letter to Jiang Li.
"I see."
After listening to Qin Shuang'er, Jiang Li felt that this was not a bad thing. It can only be said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
When Qin Ji hired someone to kill her, did he ever think that the retribution would befall his own family?
I think the reason why Mrs. Qin would appear in such a cold weather is simply to pray for her son who just left Beijing.
"Mo Qi, go over and see how the Qin family reacts."
What happened yesterday hasn't happened yet today. I guess something unexpected happened.
At the same time, Jiang Li asked Qin Shuang'er to pack up quickly and told the old couple on the farm, and then moved everyone to Liuli Manor, about thirty miles away from here.
"Although many people come here, this courtyard usually does not allow any outsiders to enter. You can stay here without worry. After I find out more about the Qin family's affairs, I will find the right time to send you away."
After saying that, Jiang Li left.
"princess……"
Qin Shuang'er took a step forward and pursed her lips. "I treated you like that back then, why did you still..."
"You wanted to harm me back then, but it was nothing more than Qin Yue's instigation. Life as a woman is not easy, and you did all those things for me. Overall, it can be said that your merits and demerits offset each other."
Jiang Li turned around and looked at her, saying lightly.
Qin Shuang'er looked at the woman standing in the sunset, like a goddess radiating light.
"Just live a good life from now on. Even though it's a bit tiring, at least you are free."
After leaving the last words, Jiang Li looked at her deeply again before looking away and leaving.
Qin Shuang'er stood there in a daze, and only felt the chill of the cold wind blowing on her body after Jiang Li's figure disappeared.
When she returned to her room, she sat alone on the bed and thought for a long time.
She didn't know if it was because of her past self or because of the things she had done, but that day, she cried so much that her head hurt.
But since then, she has never shed a tear.
Whenever she felt life was difficult, she would always remember the words Princess Jingling left her on that evening when the setting sun illuminated half the sky. At least, she was free.
When we returned to the palace, it was already completely dark.
When Mo Qi rushed back, Jiang Li had just finished dinner.
"Princess, I found out."
