The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Jiang Pingsheng, a middle-aged man, was aware of her changes, but he could understand it when he thought that people are always partial to their own children.

In order to prevent little Jiang Li from feeling neglected, he could only give her more fatherly love. But unexpectedly, it was this action that made the already narrow-minded Shen Ping even more disgusted and resentful of Jiang Li, thinking that she had snatched away the love that should have belonged to her daughter!

Therefore, as Jiang Pingsheng led his troops to battle more and more frequently, and Jiang Lanchuan also reached the age of studying and often accompanied him, it was Shen Ping's turn to be the head of the entire Jiang Mansion.

Taking advantage of the original owner's cowardly character, Shen Ping would either beat and scold her or lock her up in the woodshed all night.

In order to shut up these servants, she had to pretend to be very dedicated in educating her child, as if she had broken her heart for Jiang Li.

Of course, the most important thing is that the servants are afraid of her as the mistress. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, no one will take the initiative to complain to Jiang Pingsheng.

Liusu and Zhuyu were maids who had been with Jiang Li since she was a child. They felt extremely distressed when their young lady was punished.

But Miss Naihe would not let them complain to the master or the young master no matter what, for fear that her father would become alone again because of her.

Jiang Li's eyes were half-closed, and the chopsticks in her hand kept tightening. The mean faces of the mother and daughter flashed through her mind, and the wild power in her heart was ready to move.

Damn it... How can there be such vicious people in the world?

"Nannan...?"

The girl was silent for too long, which made Jiang Pingsheng a little worried.

Noticing that Jiang Li was in a bad mood, Li Jinyuan reached out and held the girl on his lap, squeezing her little hand so hard that it turned white.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. The prince and Lili will be there on time."

Jiang Li came back to her senses and looked up at Li Jinyuan following the clear male voice. There was a hint of confusion in her dazed almond-shaped eyes, and it was obvious that she was still immersed in her own thoughts.

"Yes...I will definitely go."

"Great! Your room is always cleaned by servants. If it's too late, you and the Third Prince can stay overnight at the Jiang Mansion!"

Jiang Pingsheng hadn't seen his daughter for a long time since she got married. Now that his daughter had finally come home, he didn't want her to leave so soon.

Li Jinyuan saw what Jiang Pingsheng was thinking and agreed in a low voice.

The latter's face wrinkled with laughter. This son-in-law was really the right choice...

……

After seeing Jiang Pingsheng off, Jiang Li wanted to go back to sleep, but before she could turn around, Li Jinyuan called her.

"Pear."

The girl's foot stumbled as she stepped down the stairs, and in her terror she was embraced by a strong arm.

She patted her pounding heart, and her body felt weak from the shock.

After calming down, she turned around and glared at the culprit with resentment.

There's no outsider here, why is he calling me so intimate?!

However, these were just Jiang Li's inner thoughts. On the surface, she only dared to smile flatteringly at Li Jinyuan.

"Anything else, Your Majesty?"

Jiang Li, who was thinking crazily in her mind, didn't realize that she was still being held in the man's arms.

Li Jinyuan lowered his head to look at the fair little face very close to him, his eyebrows slightly raised, but he didn't intend to remind her.

The little thing is fragrant and soft, and it's quite comfortable to hold...

"From now on, you will share your daily meals with me."

Jiang Li's official smile froze on her face and was cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"W-what...?"

Qi Yu, who had been secretly watching the prince and princess' intimacy, suddenly jumped out. Yan Yu silently held his forehead, but couldn't stop him...

"Princess! The prince means that you can have dinner with him every day!"

Haha, what a great honor this is...

When Jiang Li thought about having to eat three meals a day with this cold-faced devil, she suddenly felt that the vegetable leaves she had eaten before were not unedible...

"That... isn't necessary. It's so troublesome running around..."

Jiang Li smiled perfunctorily, just hoping that Li Jinyuan would take back what he said.

But the man seemed to be determined, and he calmly hugged her and walked down the stairs.

"It's not a problem. My bedroom is only separated from yours by a small garden. It's very close."

"Haha... okay then."

The smile on Jiang Li's face couldn't be more bitter. She just wanted to drag the cook over and give him a good beating. It was all because he withheld her food!

……

The days pass quickly,

Except for feeling a little uneasy when having dinner with Li Jinyuan, Jiang Li felt completely relaxed at other times.

Today, it was time to go to Jiang Mansion to attend Shen Ping’s birthday party.

Ever since she started to dress the girl, the sadness on Liusu's face has never disappeared.

"What's wrong? Your face is as wrinkled as a bitter gourd."

Jiang Li couldn't help but turn her head and tease her. Her round almond eyes were filled with a smile, and she looked extremely beautiful.

"princess……"

Liusu frowned and her tone was not pleasant.

"The eldest lady treated you so badly, why did you go back to celebrate her birthday? I feel so sorry for you just thinking about it."

Jiang Li understood, then took Liusu's hand and winked at her.

"Don't worry, your princess is not as easy to bully as before. They can't hurt me."

The little girl was obviously stunned, and then she looked at Jiang Li's confident look and actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, their princess is very powerful now. She even dares to confront Concubine Rou. How could she be afraid of the eldest lady?

And the prince will be accompanying her back, he is the princess's supporter!

……

Outside the Third Prince's Mansion, Jiang Li saw the familiar black gold carriage and immediately lifted her skirt, eager to try it out.

But the threshold of the carriage was a bit high. If she wanted to step on it without the help of the driver's back, she could only climb up awkwardly.

The girl felt a little discouraged and couldn't help but complain silently in her heart.

You can obviously make something like a small step for people to step on, why do you have to step on these people's backs?

Just when Jiang Li was at a loss, a pair of strong hands suddenly stretched out from behind her, supported her waist and put her into the carriage.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made the girl scream, and she didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the familiar scent of cedar caught up with her from behind.

The black almond-shaped eyes flashed with a little flame. Why did this person walk silently?

Li Jinyuan looked at the girl's angry face, and couldn't help but curl up his thin lips.

The kitten is still timid. Even though its little claws are exposed, it still doesn't dare to scratch people.

"The sun is shining brightly, let's go in."

A slender hand passed over Jiang Li and opened the curtain of the car. The girl hummed softly before walking inside.

Li Jinyuan followed closely behind and sat directly next to the girl.

Jiang Li pretended to be indifferent and turned her eyes away, not looking at him.

Seeing this, the man pursed his lips helplessly. The kitten was furious and needed to be coaxed...
