Jiang Ning countered, âOtherwise? If he doesnât like me, why would he marry me?â
âNaturally for other purposes!â
âWhat purposes?â
âTo gain the influence of your Jiang Family, and to⦠make things difficult for me.â
âPrince Yu, isnât marrying me also for Jiang Familyâs influence? Donât point fingers at others.â Jiang Ning said, âSince both of you are the same, I can choose one who treats me well.â
âHow can you tell he will treat you well?â
âHe admires what I do. He doesnât find my storytelling offensive, but rather interesting, even willing to pay ten thousand taels to listen to me.â Jiang Ning laughed, âFurthermore, Master Thirteen is only twenty years old and already a third-rank official with a bright future. Heâs also quite handsome and refined, the types I like.â
Li Hongyuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing the last sentence.
âHeâs just trying to please you.â
âI like when others please me, flatter me, spoil me, and treat me well,â Jiang Ning smiled while holding her teacup, âWhether he likes my family background or my appearance, I donât mind. The key is that he treats me well. Itâs called mutual benefit, understand?â
Li Hongyuan said, âYour twisted reasoning is not bad.â
âItâs better than some people who obviously use others but still treat them badly and boss them around.â
â⦠Did I abuse you or do something to you?â
âIt seems Prince has a poor memory.â
âGo ahead and tell me how I abused you.â
âWell, Iâll say it.â Jiang Ning took a deep breath, âYou 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!â
Li Hongyuan:ââ¦â
Thinking of this, he frowned and asked, âDid you drink the medicine and suffer no consequences?â
âIf there were consequences, could I sit here and talk to you peacefully?â
âYou could have told me back then.â
âTell you what? That I was already pregnant with your child? Besides, I didnât know the child was yours.â
âReally?â Li Hongyuan raised an eyebrow, âYou didnât know the child was mine back then? When exactly did you find out?â
Jiang Ning was at a loss for words, âI⦠guessed it later.â
âSo, when you married me, you didnât know the child was mine. And that night you purposely got me drunk and seduced me⦠were you planning to let me raise another manâs child?â
ââ¦â Jiang Ning raised her hand to touch her hair.
Suddenly, he became smart at this moment.
Li Hongyuan sneered, âWith your beautiful face, who could think that youâd hide such ill intentions?â
âHave you said enough? Itâs not like I begged to marry you. Besides, who harmed me in this way? Why donât you condemn Emperor Father?â
Li Hongyuan said, âIndeed, Emperor Father was wrong in this matter. But you are also deserving of retribution.â
âWell, 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.â
âFine, letâs not talk about it.â Li Hongyuan stood up and said while suppressing his anger, âLet 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!â
âItâs already broken.â
â⦠I will break both of your legs!â
âI never thought that the seemingly splendid Prince of Yu would be so overbearing!â
âThat just means you donât know me well enough.â Li Hongyuan coldly said, âIn three days, I will come to the Jiang Family to pick you up.â
âOnly if you can enter the Jiang Familyâs door..â
