无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Jiang Ning countered, “Otherwise? If he doesn’t like me, why would he marry me?”

“Naturally for other purposes!”

“What purposes?”

“To gain the influence of your Jiang Family, and to… make things difficult for me.”

“Prince Yu, isn’t marrying me also for Jiang Family’s influence? Don’t point fingers at others.” Jiang Ning said, “Since both of you are the same, I can choose one who treats me well.”

“How can you tell he will treat you well?”

“He admires what I do. He doesn’t find my storytelling offensive, but rather interesting, even willing to pay ten thousand taels to listen to me.” Jiang Ning laughed, “Furthermore, Master Thirteen is only twenty years old and already a third-rank official with a bright future. He’s also quite handsome and refined, the types I like.”

Li Hongyuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing the last sentence.

“He’s just trying to please you.”

“I like when others please me, flatter me, spoil me, and treat me well,” Jiang Ning smiled while holding her teacup, “Whether he likes my family background or my appearance, I don’t mind. The key is that he treats me well. It’s called mutual benefit, understand?”

Li Hongyuan said, “Your twisted reasoning is not bad.”

“It’s better than some people who obviously use others but still treat them badly and boss them around.”

“… Did I abuse you or do something to you?”

“It seems Prince has a poor memory.”

“Go ahead and tell me how I abused you.”

“Well, I’ll say it.” Jiang Ning took a deep breath, “You forced me to drink the contraceptive soup, deprived me of housekeeper authority, allowed the maids to bully me, and wanted me to abort the child!”

Li Hongyuan:”…”

Thinking of this, he frowned and asked, “Did you drink the medicine and suffer no consequences?”

“If there were consequences, could I sit here and talk to you peacefully?”

“You could have told me back then.”

“Tell you what? That I was already pregnant with your child? Besides, I didn’t know the child was yours.”

“Really?” Li Hongyuan raised an eyebrow, “You didn’t know the child was mine back then? When exactly did you find out?”

Jiang Ning was at a loss for words, “I… guessed it later.”

“So, when you married me, you didn’t know the child was mine. And that night you purposely got me drunk and seduced me… were you planning to let me raise another man’s child?”

“…” Jiang Ning raised her hand to touch her hair.

Suddenly, he became smart at this moment.

Li Hongyuan sneered, “With your beautiful face, who could think that you’d hide such ill intentions?”

“Have you said enough? It’s not like I begged to marry you. Besides, who harmed me in this way? Why don’t you condemn Emperor Father?”

Li Hongyuan said, “Indeed, Emperor Father was wrong in this matter. But you are also deserving of retribution.”

“Well, I might indeed have no good intentions, but where are you any better than me? Some things are clear to all, and no one should blame the others.”

“Fine, let’s not talk about it.” Li Hongyuan stood up and said while suppressing his anger, “Let me tell you the truth. Since you became my woman, you can only be my woman forever. If you dare to marry someone else, I will break your leg!”

“It’s already broken.”

“… I will break both of your legs!”

“I never thought that the seemingly splendid Prince of Yu would be so overbearing!”

“That just means you don’t know me well enough.” Li Hongyuan coldly said, “In three days, I will come to the Jiang Family to pick you up.”

“Only if you can enter the Jiang Family’s door..”
