Tea Merchants of the Song Dynasty

As soon as Jiang Yin finished speaking, the entire prison fell silent.

Then, there was a burst of noise and bustle as if a pot of boiling water had exploded.

"Nonsense, how could he ignore us?"

"That's right, don't keep telling lies here to confuse people."

"Long live the rebels..."

After Zhang Yuanzhi said these last words, the entire prison fell silent again.

Jiang Yin sneered and glanced at these people with an ambiguous look. Then, he brushed off his robes, raised his chin and returned the way he came.

Zhang Yuanzhi is just a fool. He helped count the money after being sold.

Fortunately, she had already cut ties with the Zhang family, so no matter how he committed suicide, it would not affect her and the Jiang family.

She walked forward with her head held high like a victorious rooster.

However, this state disappeared instantly when he stepped out of the cell.

She didn't expect that Li Ji was still waiting for her at the door and hadn't left.

In other words, Li Ji heard everything she had just said, as well as what the people in the cell were shouting.

Jiang Yin looked embarrassed and pretended to be calm, "Mr. Li is still here. Did you hear what they just said? Those people are probably all related to Zhao Sheng."

Zhao Sheng's business was really big. He won over all the tea merchants in Mengshan except the Jiang family.

That's not right, Jiang's parents were the only ones who were not won over. But whether it was Wan Sheng, Wan Baozong, or Zhang Yuanzhi, they were all related to Jiang.

If she had not decisively severed ties with them after her rebirth, who would have believed that Jiang was really not involved in these activities when the truth was revealed?

Li Ji chuckled and walked out with Jiang Yin, saying, "I have sent someone over there, Miss Jiang, don't worry."

He paused and continued, "Relax, those people can't implicate you, let alone the Jiang family."

He knew what Jiang Yin was afraid of. Jiang Yin was making plans for the Jiang family with every single thing he did.

Even if something was leaked, he would clean up the mess for Jiang Yin and prevent her from being implicated.

Jiang Yin tilted his head and smiled, "That's right. My Jiang family is clean and honest, and we don't do such things."

No one can drag Jiang down with him, including herself.

"Of course I know that." Li Ji smiled and continued, "Things here are coming to an end. I estimate that I will set off to return to Beijing in no more than half a month. What are your plans, Miss Jiang? Do you want to go back to Beijing with me?"

After he finished speaking, he stopped and stood there, looking at Jiang Yin quietly.

No one knew how anxious his heart was hidden under his calm expression.

Although he knew Jiang Yin's answer without asking, he still wanted to ask, just in case.

"Go to Beijing?" Jiang Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I do want to go to Beijing, but not now."

Besides, even if he wanted to go, he wouldn't go with Li Ji.

Li Ji's heart, which had been lifted, fell heavily again.

He couldn't wait to ask, "When are you coming to Beijing? I can wait for you or come pick you up."

If it's only ten days or half a month late, he can still wait.

But if it was any later, he would have to escort the prisoner to Beijing first and then come back to pick her up.

Jiang Yin was speechless, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Li. I just came to Beijing to look after the shop and do business, and by the way, wait for my fourth uncle to pass the imperial examination."

She and Li Ji are from two different worlds. Once this matter is over, they should no longer have any intersection. Why bother getting involved too much?

Li Ji pursed his lips and said unwillingly: "I said before that I like you, this is my true feelings, Miss Jiang, are you willing to give me a chance?

Whether in Tokyo or here, I will never let Miss Jiang down."

The only person in this world who can make his heart beat faster is Jiang Yin.

You have to work hard so as not to leave any regrets.

Jiang Yin felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Li Ji. She saw the seriousness in Li Ji's eyes, but she couldn't.

She turned her head away uncomfortably and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li. I don't plan to get married, and I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Mr. Li is a handsome man, he will surely find a good match and live happily ever after. "

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she sincerely wished Li Ji well.

Li Ji didn't owe her anything, on the contrary, he was indebted to her. She hadn't repaid the favor, and she wouldn't repay it with hatred.

"Do you really think so?" Li Ji was a little hurt. He raised his hand and turned Jiang Yin's body to face him. "Look into my eyes and say it again."

He just didn't believe that Jiang Yin had no feelings at all, otherwise, why wouldn't she dare to look him in the face?

Jiang Yin originally wanted to avoid Li Ji's fiery gaze, but had no choice but to look directly at him.

Li Ji repeated: "Look at me and say it again."

Jiang Yin pursed her lips, feeling even more uncomfortable, but still said, "Seriously."

Her heart tightened, but in order to avoid Li Ji noticing anything unusual, she quickly lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

She asked herself, could she really wish Li Ji to find a good man without any grudges? Jiang Yin didn't know, but she really wanted to say so now.

Li Ji hid the smile that flashed across his eyes, then let go of Jiang Yin, and said with a sad face: "Then I would like to thank Miss Jiang for her blessing."

Before Jiang Yin could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Li Ji continue, "But if that person is not you, I won't be happy.

Miss Jiang, please do as you please. I have something to do, so I will go ahead."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away, leaving Jiang Yin standing there in a daze.

After a long while, Jiang Yin came back to his senses and asked Xiao Luo in disbelief: "Is he angry?"

There is nothing between them. At most, Li Ji likes her.

It is her freedom to refuse. Why should Li Ji be so angry?

Besides, her huge family business was all in Chengdu, so how could she just go to Tokyo with him so easily?

Xiao Luo said uncertainly: "Maybe."

But how could she see a smile on Mr. Li's face? Was it her eyes playing tricks on her or was it really so?

She still felt a little regretful that her wife rejected Li Ji.

But as long as her wife is happy, she will support her.

Jiang Yin's mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed, "Forget it, I'm angry if I want to. After all, when he returns to Beijing, we won't have any more interactions."

After a long time, Li Ji will forget her.

After all, they had only known each other for a few months at most.

Although we have shared hardships, it doesn't necessarily mean we can't let go.

Xiao Luo saw what Jiang Yin was thinking. She wanted to say that no one could predict matters of the heart, and there was even love at first sight.

Perhaps, Mr. Li really can't let it go.

But she didn't say this, because she couldn't put her wife in a difficult position.

The purpose of coming to the Tea and Horse Bureau had been achieved, and Jiang Yin no longer paid attention to Li Ji. Instead, he went to pay a visit to Yan Li, and then returned to the old house.

As soon as she returned to the old house, she met Xie Daoyun who had also returned from outside at the door.

Jiang Yin quickly bowed and said, "Second Uncle."

Etiquette cannot be abolished. You must bow when you meet your elders.

Xie Daoyun nodded slightly, paused and said, "You want to go to Tokyo with Li Ji?"
