Chapter 45: An Ungrateful Person Who Can Never Be Tamed
After having lunch at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Yan Li took the carriage arranged for her by Mu Cang and returned to the Jiang family - her own carriage was left behind at the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw a man waiting in front of the door.
"Cousin." Jiang Tingyi stepped forward and was about to speak when he suddenly looked at the luxurious and spacious carriage behind her, "This is..."
"The carriage from the Ninth Prince's Palace."
Jiang Tingyi's expression paused. He didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would be so protective of Yan Li, and would even give Yan Li the use of his palace's carriage.
Is this to support her?
Thinking of Yan Li's arrogant and domineering behavior in the Jiang family recently, Jiang Tingyi felt very dissatisfied and couldn't help complaining about Mu Cang.
The majestic God of War of the Mu Kingdom was so indiscriminate that he couldn't even see Yan Li's true nature? Or is it because she is good-looking that the Ninth Prince is willing to be deceived by her?
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Tingyi frowned slightly, with an expression of condemnation on his face: "Grandma is extremely dissatisfied with your behavior of going out without authorization. Even if you are invited by the Ninth Prince, you should go to your grandmother for instructions. This is the most basic etiquette for a junior -"
"So the etiquette of the Jiang family is to block the door and lecture me?" Yan Li raised her eyebrows slightly, and her tone was a bit sarcastic, "In the past three or two months, I didn't see my eldest cousin once. Why is it that he has been haunted every day these days? Are you looking for trouble?"
Jiang Tingyi was displeased: "Who is looking for trouble? I have something to ask you for."
"If it's still about Jiang Tingyan, then shut up." Yan Li looked coldly, "I'm not that kind-hearted."
After that, he stepped over the threshold.
"Cousin Li." Jiang Jingyue came over with two maids, her eyes glanced past the carriage outside the gate, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but the smile on her face was extremely considerate, "Grandpa and grandmother are very strict about rules. , isn’t it good for my cousin to come back in the Nine Prince’s carriage?”
Yan Li said indifferently: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Jingyue said with a smile: "Although my cousin will marry to the Ninth Prince's Mansion next month, she is not married yet..."
"What do you want to say?" Yan Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and asked directly, "Just say what you need to say, don't waste my time."
"Yan Li, what's your attitude?" Jiang Tingyi was dissatisfied with the tone of her conversation with Jingyue and angrily accused her, "Jingyue talks to you in such a gentle and gentle voice, why can't you put down your arrogance?"
"I'm fine, brother, don't be angry." Jiang Jingyue comforted him, then turned to look at Yan Li, biting her lip, "Cousin, I just want to apologize to you for the third brother. He had many misunderstandings about you before, so He's so eloquent, can my cousin forgive him for once?"
Yan Li walked through the front yard and headed towards Liuli Courtyard: "I'm too lazy to remember his grudge, so I can't talk about forgiveness."
"Then..." Jiang Jingyue followed her and said matter-of-factly, "Then can you please go to the Ninth Prince to beg him for mercy?"
"Why don't you go by yourself?" Yan Li turned to look at her, "You are Jiang Tingyan's biological sister, right?"
Jiang Jingyue smiled reluctantly: "But the Ninth Prince didn't listen to me..."
"Does he just listen to me?" Yan Li raised an eyebrow, "How do you know that the Ninth Prince will listen to me?"
"I……"
"Even if he listens to me, why should I ask for this favor?" Yan Li sneered, "What does your third brother's matter have to do with me? Have I ever interacted with him since I was a child? Has he ever been kind to me? Do you think I am a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?”
"Cousin." Jiang Jingyue was shocked and looked at her with a hurt look on her face, "You were not like this before. Why...how did you suddenly..."
"Jiang Jingyue, your true nature has been revealed more than once, and now you are pretending, don't you feel too tired?"
Jiang Jingyue bit her lip, her eyes red, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"Yan Li, do you still have any humanity left in you?" Jiang Tingyi was furious, "Jingyue has already humbled herself to such an extent. What else do you want from her? Do you want her to kneel down and beg you?"
"If she's willing to kneel down, maybe she can give it a try."
Jiang Jingyue's face turned pale. Thinking of the nine days of suffering in the palace where she and the prince were forced to kneel and copy scriptures, she only hated Yan Li to her core.
"The old lady is here!"
Jiang Tingyi and Jiang Jingyue turned around and saw the old lady walking over with the support of Nanny Ji. She stared at Yan Li coldly with sharp eyebrows.
"Grandma." Jiang Jingyue hurriedly walked over and held her other hand, "Why are you here?"
"Yan Li." Mrs. Jiang's voice was stern, and her eyes were even colder and unhappy, "Jingyue talks to you in such a low voice, but you are so aggressive with every word. What do you want? You don't even understand the principle of giving up when you're ready. ? My daughter’s family is very virtuous and virtuous, do you really want to retaliate like this?”
Virtuous and virtuous?
Yan Li smiled coldly: "Which word in 'virtuous and virtuous' has the Jiang family achieved from top to bottom?"
"you--"
"Cousin." Jiang Jingyue's eyes turned red, tears streaming down her face, "Everything is my fault. If you have any dissatisfaction, just complain to me. Third brother, he is going to miss his homework for so long. Do you really have to watch it? Will all your previous efforts be in vain with him?”
Yan Li felt that even the Jiang family could not understand human speech.
Not only does he not understand people's words, he is also particularly good at making nonsense. He likes to blame all the faults on others, and then accuse them of not being generous enough.
She couldn't help but wonder, how did Taifu Jiang get the position of Taifu back then? With the Jiang family's character, the late emperor actually dared to let him teach the emperor, and was he not afraid of teaching the king of a country bad?
"Yan Li." Jiang Tingyi's face was tense, as if he had made a great decision, "As long as you ask for a favor from the Ninth Prince, we will definitely treat you as our own sister in the future. When you marry the Ninth Prince, the Jiang family will always be your mother's family, and you don't have to worry about anyone bullying you."
"How ridiculous." Yan Li looked at him with sneer in her eyes, "Do you think I care?"
Old Madam Jiang was furious: "Yan Li!"
"Madam An." Yan Li turned around and ordered, with a cold and impatient tone, "Don't let them bother me again."
"Yes."
"It's unreasonable! Unreasonable!" Jiang Tingyi stared at Yan Li's cold and distant back, "Where does she get such a bad temper? Has the Jiang family lacked her food or clothes over the years? She is really an ungrateful person!"
Jiang Jingyue bit her lip: " Big brother, if Yan Li doesn't agree, this matter can only start with the Ninth Prince. "
"Really can't we ask the prince for help?" Jiang Tingyi frowned, "How about I try? His Royal Highness the Prince should give me this face..."
"Big brother." Jiang Jingyue shook her head and interrupted him softly, "Because of the broken engagement, the emperor has already become dissatisfied with the prince. It took a lot of effort to calm down his anger in the past two days. If he angers the emperor again because of the fight with the Ninth Prince, the prince's situation will be bad. "
She really remembers the emperor's words, "If the queen can't teach her son and daughter-in-law well, I will abolish his position as the crown prince."
Although this may be just what the emperor said in anger, Jiang Jingyue has realized that as long as the prince has not ascended the throne, his position as the crown prince is not foolproof.
If he angers the emperor in the future, the prince may be abolished at any time, and the emperor has so many sons, who doesn't stare at the supreme dragon throne?
"The prince and the general share the same fate." Jiang Jingyue said, "We must not let the prince have the opportunity to anger the emperor again."
Old Madam Jiang frowned and couldn't help but cursed again: "Yan Li is a scourge! If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned her in the lake!"
