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

Lancao stuttered as she spoke, with fear in her eyes.

After all, the aura that Li Jinyuan had just exuded was truly terrifying. Recalling what he had done to the young lady before, she was truly terrified that this man would kill her...

"Third Prince...?"

What was he doing here, bringing Jiang Li with him? Could it be that this little bitch had complained to him?! So the prince was coming to settle accounts with them...!?

"impossible!"

Shen Ping suppressed her panic. This little bitch definitely didn't have the guts to do that! And even if she did, what would it matter? Without evidence, they wouldn't admit anything!

"Mother... Is the Third Prince here to see me?"

Different from Shen Ping's thinking, Jiang Leyao has already begun to feel romantic.

The woman covered her cheeks shyly, recalling the few times she and Li Jinyuan "looked at each other" at the dinner table just now. She became more and more certain that the prince must be attracted to her, otherwise, he would not lower himself to visit her mother.

"Stupid thing!"

Shen Ping glared at her with disappointment. She had just done something stupid because of a man last night, and she didn't expect that after being exposed on the spot, she not only did not repent, but became more and more immersed in it.

After seeing Jiang Leyao stopped talking, the woman turned her gaze back to Lancao.

"Let them in."

"Yes."

……

Jiang Li walked closer holding Li Jinyuan's arm. When Jiang Leyao's eyes fell on the clasped arms, the jealousy in her eyes wanted to turn into a sword and stab the girl.

The man's tall stature makes the girl look petite and dependent, and anyone who sees them will think they are a perfect match.

"I've met the prince."

Jiang Leyao saluted with her voice pinched, and her overly shrill voice gave Jiang Li goose bumps.

Li Jinyuan frowned. He didn't like women getting close to him, except Jiang Li, of course. Hearing Jiang Leyao's harsh voice, he couldn't help but want to strangle her to death.

Jiang Li's voice is usually soft and tender when she speaks, which is completely different from the deliberately accentuated voice of the woman in front of her.

Unable to wait for the man's response, Jiang Leyao's half-squatting body was shaking from the pain.

Biting her lower lip lightly, the girl's pretty face was filled with tears, and the look of tears about to fall in her eyes was particularly pitiful. However, this was only for ordinary men. For an emotionless and cold-faced evil spirit like Li Jinyuan, her appearance would only increase his desire to strangle her to death.

The man squeezed the tenderness in his palm. He didn't know when, but he seemed to have no choice but to accept this little fox's coquettish behavior towards him... Sometimes, when he saw her tears, he knew she was pretending to gain his sympathy, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed...

Shen Ping felt sorry for Jiang Leyao squatting for a long time, so she could only scold her with a cold face.

"You're really becoming more and more ignorant of etiquette. You don't even bow when you see the princess! Now she's not only your sister, but also a member of the royal family. You must not forget the rules just because she dotes on you!"

Knowing that Shen Ping wanted to use Jiang Li to save face, Jiang Leyao turned away reluctantly, but still had no choice but to salute obediently.

"Sister greets the princess, may the princess be well..."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's lips curled up slightly. As a good sister, she must be feeling nauseous.

"Sister, please don't be so polite. We are all family, there is no need for so many rules."

Everyone can put on an act. Li Jinyuan plays the good guy, so she plays the bad guy.

"Thank you, Princess..."

Jiang Leyao's eyes were wandering, and her voice of thanks, which was as soft as a mosquito's hum, was very awkward.

She never dreamed that one day she would have to kowtow to this little bitch. This was even more painful than killing her.

Shen Ping also felt a lump in her throat, and a sinister look flashed across her beautiful eyes, but she could only force a smile.

"I wonder what important matter has the prince and princess come to me for?"

Jiang Li took Li Jinyuan's hand and sat directly on the rosewood chair next to Shen Ping, looking as calm as if she had returned home.

Shen Ping felt her temples throbbing. They were really rude. Couldn't they hear that she wanted to kick them out?

"What are you saying, Grandmother? Can't my daughter and the prince come to see you if nothing happens?"

Jiang Li deliberately lowered her eyebrows, her almond-shaped eyes full of coquettishness.

Shen Ping laughed awkwardly. She didn't believe that this little bitch could be so filial to her.

"Of course, Lili is here to see Grandma. Grandma is so happy..."

The two looked at each other, one full of sinister warning, the other as innocent as a harmless little rabbit.

Li Jinyuan, who didn't say a word the whole time, took the nuts on the table and started peeling them. His slender and clean fingers moved skillfully and were pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Leyao's eyes were almost glued to him. Such a noble man, she must have him...

"Your Highness, would you like to eat some nuts? Le Yao will help you peel them."

The sweet female voice would probably make any man feel numb.

But Li Jinyuan moved the plate of nuts as if he was protecting his food, avoiding the woman's outstretched hand.

The cold phoenix eyes were devoid of warmth and the tone was indifferent.

"She only likes to eat what I peel."

Jiang Leyao's hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face broke again.

Needless to say, who the man was talking about was. Seeing Jiang Li smiling and opening her mouth to take the nut that Li Jinyuan had given her, Jiang Leyao felt that she was about to go crazy.

Why?! Why did Jiang Li let the prince peel nuts for her?

Being stared at by the woman with jealous and resentful eyes, Jiang Li not only did not find the nut in her mouth hard to swallow, but she also secretly raised her eyebrows at Jiang Leyao.

The little fox's provocative look made the woman so angry that her head felt dizzy.

When Li Jinyuan saw the girl's cheeks puffed up from eating, his sharp brows relaxed immediately and his hands moved faster unconsciously.

While her cherry lips held the nut the man brought her, her almond-shaped eyes did not forget to look around Shen Ping's bedroom.

She didn't forget what her purpose was today...

Suddenly, Jiang Li paused, her gaze fixed on a white jade eight-treasure hairpin in Shen Ping's hair.

This hairpin doesn't look special on the outside, but Jiang Li knows that the jade it is carved from is extremely precious white jade, because it was the dowry jewelry her mother received when she got married.

The girl's eyes darkened and her expression became unusually serious.

There were more than one such priceless piece of jewelry in her mother's dowry, but without exception, they were all snatched away by the vicious woman Shen Ping.

Why do you say grab...

Because all these jewelry fell into the hands of the original owner before Yin Wanshu died.

After Shen Ping married into the Jiang family, her evil ambitions gradually became apparent, and her greed for these jewels grew.

She was also smart and knew the position of Yin Wanshu in Jiang Pingsheng's heart, so she behaved particularly honestly before he went to war.

But as soon as the man left, she began to torture the original owner, and her greed could no longer be suppressed.
