The princess' naturally noble status, coupled with her enchanting aura, was enough to fill Shui Xin and Meng Ying with deep fear.
Jiang Yi seemed to be lost in thought.
She would never have such an identity no matter what.
But there are more ordinary people like her in this world. Do ordinary people have no need to live?
She felt that she could emulate the princess's magnanimity.
Even if you don't learn 100%, you will benefit a lot if you learn 30%.
The princess didn't take Shui Xin and Meng Ying seriously at all.
Compared to her, it is inevitable that I am a little too sentimental.
Suddenly thinking of all the arguments he had with Li Huaqing before, Jiang Yi felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing.
It is true that Li Huaqing has shortcomings, and so does she.
But the fact is that they are husband and wife, a couple that cannot change. If they always dwell on those things, both of them will be unhappy.
Once the problem that had been lingering in her mind for many days was solved, she felt suddenly enlightened and her face became more open.
Song Ke had been watching her, so he could naturally detect some of her mood changes from the subtle changes in her behavior.
Jiang Yi calmly touched her toes with his toes and looked over.
Then Song Ke knocked on the table twice again.
This action was obviously hinting something to her. What was it?
She looked up and met Song Ke's deep gaze again. He said to her "tonight at 11 pm", and the meaning was very clear.
He wants to see her tonight at midnight.
It was precisely because he saw it clearly that Jiang Yi was so shocked.
He wants to see her.
It was very late at night.
This is never the right time.
Not to mention that he had said such words to her before. Now that she knew his identity, she also felt that he was most likely just teasing her.
But deep down she felt differently.
After the shock, there was a faint joy that even frightened herself.
He was too bold and too mysterious, making her feel dangerous.
Jiang Yi is just an ordinary person. After the initial heartbeat, she had already made a decision.
Even after she had a rift with Li Huaqing because of Shui Xin's matter and wanted to seek his help, she forcibly restrained herself from doing so.
It was because she had already realized that her thoughts were out of control at that time.
All she wanted was peace, but facing Song Ke made her feel dangerous.
So at the moment, she just lowered her head and pretended not to understand.
Song Ke's eyes became even darker.
Song Xu, who was standing by, told Li Huaqing that he might want to stay here for a while longer and wanted to stay temporarily in Li's house.
Li Huaqing originally had this plan, and now that Song Xu took the initiative to bring it up, he naturally agreed.
On this day, the brother and sister Song Ke and Song Xu stayed at the Li Mansion.
That night, Jiang Yi did not go to see Song Ke, but talked with Li Huaqing by candlelight.
Li Huaqing was not an unreasonable person. He was a little selfish by nature, but he liked Jiang Yi after all. He had never experienced such a thing before, and was instinctively led by his emotions.
Jiang Yi showed weakness, and he naturally felt more guilty.
"Actually, after that day, I realized that I hadn't cared enough about you before. Mother has always been very harsh in her dealings with people and things. You must have suffered a lot under her."
"It's just that I... cared too much about my own feelings at that time."
"I think that you are so indifferent to Shui Xin. Do you really dislike me from the bottom of your heart?"
"So even though I knew I was wrong, I still insisted on making the mistake, just to see you give in to me."
"Thinking about it this way, I'm really making a mistake."
"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry for you."
"I won't get angry with you over such a small matter again."
He added, "Since Mrs. Wang is disobedient and repeatedly causes trouble for you, you should get rid of such a person."
Jiang Yi's eyes lit up, then dimmed in an instant, "She is my mother-in-law's person after all."
Li Huaqing said, "That's nothing. After all, it's far away from home. Even if I have to tell my mother in the future, I can just say she has found another master."
"The matter was already settled by then, so even if Mother was angry, it would be of no use."
He was a somewhat pedantic scholar, and today was the first time that he had made up such an excuse to deal with a servant.
But Li Huaqing felt that it was worth it if it could make Jiang Yi feel better and happier.
"But her indenture contract is still in her mother's hands." Jiang Yi said again.
Li Huaqing said, "When I left Beijing, I asked my mother for her indenture."
Jiang Yi just showed some genuine joy.
At this very moment, Song Ke, who had not waited for Jiang Yi, knocked on Song Xu's window.
Song Xu had disheveled hair and a face full of resentment.
"Brother, are you crazy? You called me all the way from the capital, and now you're disturbing my sweet dreams?"
"No, you can't sleep, so you won't let me sleep either?"
Song Ke looked towards the house of Jiang Yi and Li Huaqing not far away and asked quietly, "Can you sleep?"
Song Xu also looked over.
"Why can't you sleep?"
"Why, my royal brother, are you not sure?"
"I thought that whoever the emperor liked would be in his pocket, but it turns out that even the emperor couldn't do it."
Song Ke just remained silent about this.
If he was really so confident, why would he call Huai'an over?
"What about you? Do you think he's yours?"
Speaking of Li Huaqing, Song Xu's eyes lit up with interest. "In all these years, I haven't met someone as stupid and interesting as him. As long as my royal brother doesn't stop me, I think he's mine."
"Try it?" Song Ke said.
Song Xu: "Just give it a try."
When Song Xu came near Li Huaqing's door, she had practiced martial arts and had sharp hearing, so she heard that the two of them were still awake and talking.
She was curious and leaned over to listen.
He heard these words clearly.
Instead of knocking on the door, she retreated.
"Royal brother, I think they are very good. Although I am somewhat interested in him, I don't want to steal someone's love."
"How is it? Tell me." Song Ke didn't take these words to heart.
Song Xu said, "There may be many problems between them, but after all, although they have been married for five years, they have not been together for long. They are no different from newlyweds."
"At this time, it is natural to have conflicts and resolve them."
"Over time, things will naturally go smoothly."
"How long will it take?" Song Ke asked again.
Song Xu said nothing.
Song Ke added: "You are right."
"But there are obviously better options. Why would I let her go through such a painful process?"
"She could clearly be happier and deserve all the good things in this world, instead of having to learn to grow through pain."
