Chapter 20: I’m Going to Kill the Prince

Jiang Li didn’t want Yuan San to misunderstand that she was blaming him for spending money recklessly, so she said very sincerely, “Uncle Yuan, that little girl is just taking advantage of you being easy to talk to, deliberately coaxing your money! You’re reluctant to buy a good pot of wine for yourself. Don’t give her any more money, save the money to buy wine to drink.”

She also said that she would definitely come early tomorrow and not let him wait.

But Yuan San said honestly, “That little girl is called Peanut, she’s quite clever. She said her father has a serious illness, so just take it as pitying her.”

The door seam at the back door was wide, and he leaned on the door seam, watching the clever little girl with double buns and red velvet flowers running over, and vaguely saw Jiang Li a few years ago.

Yuan San liked daughters, but unfortunately, he had a stinky son.

Jiang Li felt that Yuan San was mostly deceived.

He had been deceived like this too many times, but he would still be fooled next time.

Jiang Li wasn’t shirking responsibility, but she thought that she was becoming more and more kind-hearted, and it was Yuan San who infected her.

“I gave her about four taels of silver, that’s enough,” Yuan San said, “Your mother also wanted to come today, but I was afraid she would come and cry, so I didn’t let her come. But I can’t coax her, I guess she will still come later…”

“Come on, it’s okay,” Jiang Li said casually.

She gave Yuan San yesterday’s food box, and then brought in the new two large boxes of things, and asked Yuan San to help find a dog.

Yuan San agreed, and pushed Yuan Zhao, who was next to him, biting his fingers and staring at the armor on the guard, “Don’t talk to your big sister, are you standing here as a log?”

Yuan Zhao said enviously, “Big sister, I also want clothes like that, buy them for me.”

Yuan San almost fainted when he heard this, and slapped his son on the head, “You only know how to let your sister spend money for you. Is it easy for your sister to earn money?”

Jiang Li thought, it was okay, not difficult.

People who rely on technology to eat have this advantage, especially here, her medical skills are still a scarce resource.

“Why do you want this?” She lay on the wall, her arms propped under her chin, tilted her head and looked at her younger brother with a smile, “Zhao has grown up, does he want to be a general?”

“Yes.” Yuan Zhao nodded vigorously, “If I become a general, I can protect my sister! I’m going to kill the prince!”

The annoying prince, snatched his sister away, and locked her up.

Jiang Li: …

It’s good, it’s good, the people present didn’t care about the prince’s life or death.

“Shh——” Jiang Li put her index finger to her lips, “This is our secret, like making a wish, you have to keep it in your heart, otherwise it won’t come true!”

“Okay, I’ll think in my heart, I want to kill the prince.” The little dumpling, who had been fed round by Jiang Li, said.

Jiang Li: Prince, it seems you have to die, kill him, kill him.

After talking with her younger brother for a while, Jiang Li was in a great mood, carrying the food box back.

When passing by a courtyard, she vaguely heard crying coming from inside, and there seemed to be some other sounds.

But Jiang Li didn’t stop.

The Prince’s mansion was a shallow pond with many turtles, and she still had to sort out these people in the Prince’s mansion slowly, and she couldn’t be rash.

Today there was steamed shad, which was Jiang Li’s favorite.

There were also cut watermelon and cantaloupe, which looked like they were made with motherly love, and after taking a bite, they were indeed very sweet.

As long as it was something she liked to eat, no matter how troublesome the dish was, Yu Shi could make it for her to eat.

She just mentioned a ham and silver sprout dish when bragging to her younger brother, and Yu Shi could make it and bring it to her, and still feel that she didn’t do it well enough.

But Yu Shi’s talent in cooking was unmatched.

Anyway, Jiang Li ate with a mouth full of oil.

This family gave her too much warmth, and everyone loved her in their own way.

If it weren’t for the group of flies in the Duke’s Mansion, how happy their family would be.

The more Jiang Li thought about it, the angrier she got, turning grief and anger into appetite, and eating herself full.

Zhi Zi cleaned up the dishes, and Douchou was doing needlework—her only hobby now was embroidery, the more complicated, the more time-consuming the better.

Jiang Li didn’t disturb her either, and went out for a walk to digest food, and also to recognize the road, to prepare for the opening of her treasure hunt.

She tried hard to remember the courtyards she passed along the way.

Her sense of direction was okay, and she could remember the roads she had walked.

Suddenly, she heard Wang Jingrong’s sharp and unpleasant voice.

“Hit, hit me hard!”

Along with it, there was also the dull, suffocating sound of a board hitting the body.

This sound made Jiang Li very uncomfortable.

When she first transmigrated, Yu Shi was beaten with a board by Old Madam Fang in order to protect her.

At that time, Old Madam Fang wanted to make her, this fool, this shame of the Duke’s Mansion, disappear completely, but Yu Shi was reluctant

…to her own flesh and blood, desperately protecting her.

Jiang Li could never erase that tragic memory from her mind.

Moreover, hearing Wang Jingrong’s voice, Jiang Li knew that with his character, he definitely wasn’t doing anything good.

However, Jiang Li didn’t act impulsively. She quietly followed the sound to find the courtyard, hiding in the dark and looking inside.

In the courtyard, a woman whose age couldn’t be made out was pinned to the ground with her hair disheveled, and two men were hitting her with a board.

Looking closely, the woman was arching her back as she was being beaten, as if she was welcoming the board.

This wasn’t right.

Looking more closely, Jiang Li realized that there was a small figure under the woman, but the woman had covered her mouth, so she couldn’t make a sound.

From the red velvet flower on the little girl’s bun, Jiang Li knew her identity.

It was Peanut.

“Steward Wang, spare me, Steward Wang, spare me.” The woman begged bitterly, “Peanut is young and doesn’t understand things. She did something wrong, so I’ll let you vent your anger on me by hitting her. She can’t withstand such a beating!”

“She may be young, but she’s got a lot of nerve.” Wang Jingrong sneered, with no pity in his eyes. “I’ve said it before, anyone who dares to approach that woman is going against me!”

Jiang Li felt that the woman he was talking about seemed to be herself.

She was trembling with anger.

Just because Peanut had sent her two messages, he wanted to beat her to death?

If it was before, when the two of them had exchanged blows and Wang Jingrong felt he had lost face, destroying her vegetable garden, then so be it.

She could endure it.

But he was going to beat people to death just because Peanut had sent her a message, and Jiang Li couldn’t endure that.

“Steward Wang, Peanut didn’t do it on purpose. She’s just a child, she doesn’t understand things. This is silver, this is the silver Peanut brought back. Take it, take it all, please, show some mercy.”

The woman tried to move her hand, but someone stepped on it, causing her to cry out in pain, “It’s broken, it’s broken…”

“Do you have any shame?” Jiang Li couldn’t help but reveal herself. “The wronged have their grievances, and the debtors have their debts. Since you don’t like me, grandson, why don’t you just come at me directly? What kind of person are you, bullying women and children here!”

Wang Jingrong was visibly stunned when he saw her, and then a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Since she had delivered herself to his door, he wouldn’t be polite!

“Who are you?” Wang Jingrong pretended to be stupid. “How dare you trespass into the Prince’s mansion! Someone, beat her hard!”
