Xue Fangfei was not annoyed by the other party's words at all, but played the emotional card: "I persuaded you to join, and I really want to win the championship in the annual test, but I want to let the capital and the Ye family know what the real Jiang Li is like?

When I was little, I was deceived and hurt my grandmother's feelings. In fact, my family is the most important thing to me."

Sure enough, Ye Shijie's expression changed, his mood became excited, and he looked at Xue Fangfei seriously again.

"Okay, I promise you."

Ye Shijie said this with certainty, probably out of sympathy and family affection, which made him willing to help Jiang Li, help her gain a foothold in Beijing, and change everyone's impression of her.

After chatting with Ye Shijie, Xue Fangfei sent him out, and the first thing she said when she turned around was an apology.

"Jiuning, I just told you everything about your childhood, and I used family affection to convince Ye Shijie. You won't be angry, right? After all, you are the real Jiang Li."

Xue Fangfei's attitude was full of apologies. She still remembered that when she first entered the Jiang Mansion, Jiu Ning left without even saying goodbye. She understood Jiu Ning's feelings at that time, and blamed herself for recalling the past in front of him.

Although Jiu Ning said she didn't care later, she still felt bad in her heart.

Today's situation is special. If she wants Ye Shijie to join, she must talk things out. Although she has obtained the other party's consent in advance, she should also apologize for this matter.

If it weren't for her, there would be no need to reopen Jiuning's scars.

Jiu Ning sighed inwardly, Xue Fangfei, oh Xue Fangfei, it's only been a short while and you're already exploding.

If I really cared about you, I would either stop you or turn around and leave. I would not stay here and chat with you for a long time.

Jiu Ning looked at Xue Fangfei angrily, leaving her confused.

"Now that you've heard it, come out!"

As soon as Jiu Ning finished speaking, Ye Shijie stood out from the door again. Xue Fangfei looked at the newcomer in disbelief.

"Didn't you leave?"

Ye Shijie cupped his hands apologetically: "I just feel that the expressions between you two are too weird. Many times after you finish speaking, you will subconsciously look to the side. I just feel that you are hiding something from me."

Then he looked in Jiuning's direction: "Why are you doing this? Why don't you go home?"

Ye Shijie was very puzzled. Such a good daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was stranded outside and let someone else replace her and return to the Jiang family, but she refused to recognize anyone.

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Jiu Ning no longer wanted to make up lies to deal with the matter. This would only hurt those who cared about her again and push her relatives away.

She didn't want to do this, but she didn't know how to start.

Ye Shijie sat down opposite again, but this time the person he was talking to was Jiu Ning.

"Why don't you want to recognize me? Do you look down on the Ye family?"

Ye Shijie was so angry that his body began to tremble.

Jiu Ning suppressed the pain in his heart, looked at the other party's indignant expression, and sighed.

"Cousin Ye!"

Just one name made Ye Shijie's resentment disappear, and he even felt slightly excited.

When they met for the first time, he felt that Jiuning was familiar and friendly. Compared with the fake Jiang Li calling him Cousin Ye, he only thought of the hurt he suffered that year. But as soon as Jiuning called him cousin, he forgave everything.

This is probably the power of family affection. Maybe he is just angry about his ignorance back then, but he doesn't really blame me.

"What Sister Xue just said about harming Grandmother is just a small part of Ji Shuran's many plans."

Jiuning couldn't help choking up as she recalled the incident. She wanted to complain but didn't know where to start, so she gently lifted up her sleeves, revealing the scars all over her arms.

Ye Shijie couldn't believe what he saw. He was so shocked that he immediately stood up, not even caring that the stool behind him had fallen over.

"How dare she? How dare the Jiang family do this to you?"

"Don't be afraid, I'll go to the Jiang family right away and ask for an explanation for you."

After saying that, he wanted to get up and walk out. Jiu Ning hurriedly pulled him back and shook his head.

"If I want justice, I have to go there in person. I don't want a simple apology from them."

Jiu Ning calmed herself down and looked at Ye Shijie's impulsive look, wanting to seek justice for her. She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, like the warm sunshine in spring, both warm and comfortable.

"Okay cousin, don't get angry about this. I will avenge myself. Now let me talk about you!"

"What can happen to me?"

Ye Shijie was still feeling indignant and didn't want the topic to turn to him so quickly.

"You don't know yet, do you? The Li brothers have not only targeted you, but also the Ye family of Luyang. They have already sent people to find the local prefect."

Jiu Ning told the news she knew, but it was only about the Ye family. As for other matters related to His Majesty's plan, she did not dare to speak easily.

Ye Shijie's reaction was beyond her expectations. He was not the first to worry about his own safety, nor was he worried about the situation at home. Instead, he was worried about Jiuning.

"How did you know? Were you forced to join them?"

Jiu Ning smiled and shook his head gently: "I'm not in danger. As for the source of the information, I can't reveal it for the time being. I'm telling you this so that you can be aware of it and not provoke the calculations of villains."

Ye Shijie nodded. The most important thing now was the annual examination. He couldn't help with the family, so he could only write home and give more advice.

My family runs a business and often deals with government officials, so I think I can handle it.

"I've taken note of what my cousin said. Now that the annual exam is approaching and we're forming a team, I wonder which competition my cousin will participate in?"

Jiu Ning was stunned. Which one? Which one did she not know? She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"Will you guys just watch me as a substitute?"

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Ye Shijie and Xue Fangfei showing expressions of disappointment, and they wanted to persuade him to die, so Jiu Ning spoke again.

"Sister Xue wants to win the championship. Wouldn't my participation hinder her? How about I try another group?"

"no!"

The two of them spoke in unison, and Jiuning was so frightened that he wanted to shrink himself into a speck of dust so that he wouldn't be seen by the other two.

"We are in this together, so we should participate together. Even if we can't win the championship, I won't regret it. I will just do my best."

Xue Fangfei was very grateful to Jiu Ning for taking care of her all the time. If she kicked someone out just for the sake of a leader, would she still be a human being?

Ye Shijie also advised earnestly: "I will try my best to compete in more events and try to make up for the points you lost. Don't worry about this."

Seeing that persuading the two of them failed, Jiu Ning had no choice but to nod in agreement. What was she going to participate in? She probably wasn't very good at playing the piano, chess, or books. These all required continuous practice.

The only thing she could still try was horse riding and archery. She had sharp senses and was quite strong. Now she also had martial arts skills. She thought she had a chance of winning by taking advantage and getting a ranking.

"Then I'll take part in horseback archery!"
