Chapter 11: Is the Prince About to Kick the Bucket?

Jiang Li put down her chopsticks, wiped her hands, and walked out.

Douchou stood at the door, her bright black eyes staring straight at her.

Jiang Li: …I’ll still go take a look, I won’t mess around.

Douchou was afraid that her saintly heart would overflow and she would be relied on/taken advantage of.

He’s not worth it, Douchou said, He deserves to die. Sister, have you forgotten that General Xie was killed by him?

The deceased General Xie Cheng probably didn’t know Jiang Li.

Jiang Li and he only had a one-sided relationship.

Although after Jiang Li left the Duke’s Mansion, there was a time when it was rumored that Xie Cheng was going to become related to the Duke’s Mansion.

At that time, Yu Shi was still very sad, feeling that after Jiang Li left the Duke’s Mansion, she would never find such a good marriage as Xie Cheng.

Jiang Li was very speechless about her mother’s idea.

Yu Shi had a kind of naive innocence and… stupidity.

How many of the Duke’s Mansion’s daughters had good endings?

Regardless of whether they were daughters of the legal wife or daughters of concubines, they were just tools for marriage alliances.

Some, like Douchou, had experienced darkness that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

The Duke’s Mansion ate people without spitting out bones.

She had always been a fool in the Duke’s Mansion.

Even if she wasn’t a fool, what was she good at in terms of virtue, appearance, speech, and work? How could she get such a good thing as marrying Xie Cheng?

But why did Jiang Li “never forget” Xie Cheng, and even after his death, often go to his grave to burn paper?

Because Xie Cheng had unintentionally saved her.

Once, she was careless and was discovered and tracked by the people of the Duke’s Mansion.

She fled in a panic and ran into a restaurant.

At that time, Xie Cheng was talking to someone in a private room, and she stumbled in, naturally being stopped by Xie Cheng’s subordinates.

Seeing that she was a lone woman, Xie Cheng asked her if she had encountered any difficulties.

Xie Cheng had a good appearance and a gentle temperament, without any sense of pressure from holding heavy troops, but instead revealing the humility of a gentleman like jade.

Jiang Li said that she was being targeted by human traffickers.

Xie Cheng sent someone to take her home.

The people of the Duke’s Mansion probably saw her coming out with Xie Cheng’s people and didn’t dare to follow her again.

Jiang Li escaped a disaster.

For Jiang Li, this was a disaster that almost changed her life.

But for Xie Cheng, it was a trivial matter that he had forgotten.

Jiang Li also asked the guards who escorted her back before she knew that that was Xie Cheng.

That face had always remained in Jiang Li’s mind.

Three years ago, when the news of Xie Cheng’s death in battle came, Jiang Li was very sad for a while, and also took Douchou and Zhi Zi to give Xie Cheng

“””

“””burned paper for him.

During festivals and sacrifices, she always remembered Xie Cheng.

Douchou also knew this.

That’s why she felt that Jiang Li shouldn’t save Prince Ping, who had killed Xie Cheng.

I’ve heard about this, Jiang Li said.

But what the inside story was, they didn’t know.

Just because Xie Cheng had saved her, she didn’t have to say that Xie Cheng must be right, right?

Besides, the kindness was great, but if Xie Cheng was really killed by someone, she shouldn’t have to risk everything to avenge him, right?

Judging from the current situation, if she wanted to assassinate Prince Ping, Jian Lai could crush her with one finger.

It wasn’t worth it, it really wasn’t worth it.

Moreover, Xie Cheng was dead, and Prince Ping was paralyzed. It was hard to say who was more miserable.

If Jiang Li had to choose between two miseries, she would rather die quickly.

Eighteen years later, she would be another beautiful girl.

Right now, for her, it was to live first, and secondly, to live with quality, for example, she wanted to eat meat.

It was that simple.

She could repay kindness later if she had the chance, but it was uncomfortable to miss a meal of meat.

Then Sister shouldn’t save him, Douchou said.

She couldn’t tolerate sand in her eyes, and because of her past experiences, she hated men deeply.

She probably also wanted to protect Jiang Li from the poison of “cheap men”, so she kept a close eye on Jiang Li.

Jiang Li knew that it was impossible to reason with Douchou.

So she rolled her eyes and changed her angle: I just married in today, what if something happens to him immediately? What if they say I’m a jinx?

Douchou hesitated for a moment and asked: Does Sister still care about her reputation?

Jiang Li: …

What, was she shameless?

She really didn’t care that much.

I care a little, she said vaguely, We’re new here, and we haven’t figured out the situation yet, it’s not good to have a funeral right away, right? Wearing mourning clothes in the hot weather, I’m afraid of getting heatstroke…

Douchou: …

This reason was very powerful.

Besides, I’m just going to take a look, I didn’t say I’m going to treat him. We still have to spend some time here, we have to figure out the situation everywhere, don’t you think?

Douchou hesitated for a while and reluctantly nodded.

I’ll go with Sister.

No, no need, you stay in the room.

Douchou’s face was so beautiful that even women could be moved, and she could easily become a target.

Others were okay,

Jian Lai looked really difficult to deal with.

“How about you help me mix the dumpling filling well, and then knead the dough, and I’ll come back in a while and we’ll make dumplings.”

Douchou reluctantly agreed, and told her worriedly that she must not meddle in other people’s business.

Jiang Li: “I know, I know.”

She just wanted to eat meat, was it easy?

Jiang Li was stopped by the difficult-to-deal-with Jian Lai.

Inside the room, Mosheng was still howling, the demonic sound piercing her ears.

Jiang Li even thought, Prince Ping would have to die a few more times, otherwise he would really be sorry for Mosheng’s earth-shattering cry.

“How is the Prince?” Jiang Li asked with a good temper.

Well, she was just here to care, could she still eat meat properly today and for a period of time in the future.

After finding a reason to prevaricate Douchou, she was now really worried.

It was getting hotter and hotter, and she wished she didn’t have to wear clothes.

Wearing mourning clothes, she was afraid that she would die directly from heatstroke.

At that time, maybe these people in the royal family would take the opportunity to say that she had died for love.

Not only would she lose her life, but she would also win a good reputation for the Duke’s Mansion?

Jiang Li felt that she could be so angry that she could drill out from the ground.

So, in order to eat meat and avoid the heat, Prince Ping couldn’t die.

“It’s none of your business,” Jian Lai said coldly.

Jiang Li got angry, crossed her arms and looked at him, aggressively: “I’m the Princess Consort. The Prince is not feeling well, I want to visit the Prince, what are your intentions in stopping me?”

“The Prince doesn’t see anyone,” Jian Lai’s tone didn’t fluctuate much.

Oh, so you and Mosheng don’t count as people.

Lackeys!

But Jiang Li only dared to slander these words in her heart.

Mainly because Jian Lai looked really difficult to deal with, and he really dared to do it.

Jiang Li knew the situation, and if the hard way didn’t work, she would come the soft way.

“The Prince is sick, I’m also worried, and I want to lend a hand…”

“No need. The Prince has someone to serve him.”

“But Mosheng is crying like this, are you sure the Prince is really okay, don’t you need to take a look, don’t you need to find a doctor?”

She didn’t refuse to be a widow, but she refused to observe mourning!

“He cries like this every day, you’ll get used to it in the future.”

Jiang Li: “???”

Crying is healthier?

Crying like this, is it really okay?

“He’s always been so noisy.”

“But, what if something really happens to the Prince?” Jiang Li asked worriedly.

If you say he won’t die, then he won’t die?

You have to keep your word.
