When Jiang Li heard this, he felt a chill.
Seeing Qin Ji staring at her with a smile on his face, confident of his handsome appearance and showing an expression that all women love only him, Jiang Li curled the corners of her mouth.
"Master Qin, are you and I that familiar with each other?"
Jiang Li gave Bai Zhi a look, signaling her to take Xiao Jiu to sit aside and rest for a while. Qin Ji came with such a strong momentum that he couldn't be dismissed with just a few words.
"What?"
Qin Ji was stunned, unable to believe that Jiang Li was so heartless to him.
Yes, he chose to cancel the engagement because he really didn't like Jiang Li, and he was also angry at Jiang Li's attitude at the time.
But he still remembered the look Jiang Li gave him when they first announced their engagement, and the purse that he was said to have embroidered for a long time but had thrown away. His affection didn't seem fake.
"I know, Ah Li," Qin Ji's face darkened, and he looked at her with regret. "As the ancients said, love breeds hate. Indeed, this is true."
"Although you and I are not destined to be together, it's over, isn't it?"
Who is destined to be with you? Xiaojiu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and then pulled Baizhi to talk quietly, trying to figure out who this scheming man in front of him was.
More importantly, she had to protect her aunt on behalf of her uncle. If this man dared to say anything outrageous, she would let her uncle kill him!
Qin Ji just glanced at Xiaojiu who was drinking tea, and then looked at Jiang Li.
Seeing that Jiang Li didn't show any emotion, Qin Ji felt that she had been persuaded by him. "We have met today, so why don't we put aside our past grudges? From now on, if you have anything, as long as I can help you, I will do my best. Okay?"
Qin Ji used his last gentle trick, he just didn't believe that he couldn't defeat Jiang Li.
"Help me," Jiang Li's scalp tingled, "Brother, are you acting in a melodrama?"
Jiang Li got a headache when she thought about Qin Ji colluding with the third prince and trying to take her life.
"Qin Ji, don't you understand what people are saying?"
"Or, let's put it this way, Master Qin, before you talk to me, why don't you first check your identity?"
Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, her face changed, she pursed her lips and said directly.
Hearing this, Qin Ji froze in place.
He remembered that a few days before they were going to get engaged, Jiang Shengsheng brought Jiang Li to see him.
At that time, Jiang Li was acting like a little girl. He could no longer remember her exact appearance. He just thought that this woman was annoying. If it weren't for the Jiang family's wealth, how could he stand with this merchant's daughter?
So much so that when Jiang Li asked him about his feelings, he only replied, "Miss Jiang, please remember your identity."
Thinking of this, Qin Ji looked at Jiang Li's expression again and felt it was extremely ironic.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Ji's eyes darkened and he said, "Jiang Li, have you ever heard the saying, 'A man who knows the current situation is a hero?'"
After saying that, he lowered his voice and added, "Could it be that you really think that Prince Jingling can protect you forever?"
If the Third Prince had not ordered him to pull Jiang Li onto their boat, and if Jiang Li had not been related to the General's Mansion, he would not be here to speak nicely to her.
"The royal family is not as simple as you think. Moreover, Prince Jingling's old illness is incurable. If you are a smart person, you should not go against us now."
"I'm giving you this chance now because of our past relationship. I advise you to think it over carefully."
The current Qin Ji is not yet the powerful official described in the later part of the book. Although he speaks harshly, he does not have much momentum.
Seeing this, Jiang Li just smiled politely, "So, Master Qin came here today to threaten me?"
Qin Ji's face was frozen as he gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Li, don't think I'm joking with you. Have you heard the rumors in the capital today?"
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Qin?"
Before he could finish his words, another female voice rang out. Qin Ji's back froze and he turned around to see that it was Jiang Shengsheng.
"Why are you here?"
Qin Ji now gets a headache when he sees Jiang Shengsheng.
He even felt that the Jiang sisters were born to be his nemesis.
"What's with that tone?" Jiang Shengsheng's eyes nearly rolled up to the sky. "Didn't your Third Uncle tell you? He's going to marry me as his legal wife next month. By then, I'll be your official Third Aunt."
Jiang Shengsheng was waving a round fan, followed by a maid. Qin Ji recognized her. She was Qingshui, the head maid in the third room, who had served the old lady before.
Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Shengsheng. After they stared at each other for a moment, Jiang Shengsheng curled her lips and said, "Tsk, isn't this my elder sister? I'm honored to meet Princess Jingling."
Although they followed the rules and were polite, there was uncontrollable malice in their words.
The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Qin Ji breathed a sigh of relief. He had almost forgotten that Jiang Shengsheng had always disliked Jiang Li. If they could quarrel, it would be good. That way, he wouldn't worry about Jiang Shengsheng marrying into the Qin family.
After all, she still has to be protected by the Qin family.
"No need to be polite, Baizhi, go next door and buy some more herbal tea for the second young lady."
People outside the door were gradually leaning in, and Jiang Li took over Jiang Shengsheng's words.
"yes."
Jiang Shengsheng still looked arrogant. She sat down on the chair next to Xiaojiu and raised her eyes. "It's getting late, Aji, why don't you go back home?"
From Brother Qin to Aji, Jiang Li almost laughed out loud.
If I can't be your wife, I'll be your aunt. Jiang Shengsheng is really cruel when she gets angry.
In fact, Qin Ji did not agree with Jiang Shengsheng remarrying into the Qin Mansion from the beginning. The woman who originally loved him now wanted to marry his third uncle. This was simply ridiculous!
It’s just that the old master was attracted by the Jiang family’s wealth, and they also had a princess, which made them the best possible in-laws.
