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

Tang Wanrong could only put down her raised arm in anger, her chest heaving, looking very angry.

Jiang Li gave her a cold look, then walked past her towards the counter. She picked up the lip balm on the table and examined it carefully.

Tang Wanrong's eyes rolled, and she immediately stepped forward and snatched the lip balm box from Jiang Li's hand.

"Shopkeeper, you have to be careful when doing business. You have to know who can afford it and who can't."

The shopkeeper looked bewildered. He couldn't afford to offend either of them. Being caught in the middle was difficult for him...

Ji Qingwan also noticed the situation here. After seeing Jiang Li's figure, her hand holding the paintbrush tightened uncontrollably.

The indifference and ruthlessness of the Third Prince towards her that day flashed before her eyes, and a suffocating jealousy surged in her heart, almost drowning her.

It’s all Jiang Li’s fault. If it weren’t for her, the Third Prince would never have treated himself like this!

Tang Wanrong raised one corner of her lips and rolled her eyes in disdain, certain that Jiang Li couldn't afford this lip balm.

"You are a vulgar daughter of a military commander. How can you be worthy of using such expensive lip balm? Even if you puff yourself up and buy a box, the Third Prince won't even look at you, hahahaha."

Jiang Li didn't say anything, and didn't even glance at Tang Wanrong.

In her eyes, Tang Wanrong was no different from a barking mad dog.

But her silence only boosted the woman's morale.

Tang Wanrong put her hands on her hips and walked around Jiang Li with disdain.

"As a person, it is important to have self-knowledge. The Third Prince and our Wanwan are in love with each other. Even if you become the Third Prince's Consort, what does it matter? If the Prince doesn't like you, you are just a useless concubine with no real power!"

"But our Wanwan is different. Even though she hasn't married into the royal family yet, the Third Prince really cares about her. Yesterday, her heart disease relapsed, and the Prince rushed to the Ji Mansion without saying a word and took care of her for the entire afternoon."

Ji Qingwan stood not far away, watching Tang Wanrong constantly provoking Jiang Li, and she had no intention of stopping her.

She even raised her chin slightly with an arrogant look, wanting to see how Jiang Li would react when she heard this.

"Pfft!"

Seeing the woman in front of him covering her lips and laughing softly, Ji Qingwan frowned, and Tang Wanrong was also a little at a loss.

The woman lowered her arms, took two steps forward angrily, and stood in front of Jiang Li.

"why are you laughing!?"

Jiang Li held her stomach and laughed for a long time, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were red, making her look very charming.

"Laughing at your stupidity."

"you!"

Tang Wanrong raised her hand and wanted to hit again, but when she met Jiang Li's cold eyes, her hand froze in mid-air and she couldn't hit him anymore.

"Wanrong." Finally, Ji Qingwan came forward to smooth things over, and she put her hand down.

"She's the princess. If you hit her, it would be like attacking a royal family member. It's not worth it."

"Hmph!" Tang Wanrong angrily lowered her arms, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. How could this idiot become a princess?! And always outshined her!

Jiang Li glanced at the two of them casually, then opened her cherry lips slightly,

"Miss Tang is truly Miss Ji's best friend. She's about to marry the First Prince, and yet you're still spreading rumors about her and the Third Prince. Are you afraid your best friend won't be thrown into a pig cage?"

Tang Wanrong suddenly looked up at her, and Ji Qingwan also clenched his palms.

"You're talking nonsense! That's not what I meant!"

"But Miss Tang's words all imply the same thing."

Jiang Li's playful gaze fell between the two men. One had a look of horror on his face, and the other was pretending to be calm, but the murderous intent in his eyes was undiminished.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a plastic bestie relationship...

"If someone with ulterior motives heard what you just said and it reached the emperor, someone who didn't know would think you were questioning the emperor's reputation."

Jiang Li leaned over to Tang Wanrong, her almond-shaped eyes watery and sympathetic. However, the crime she had been charged with was even more serious.

"You bullshit!"

Tang Wanrong was already furious. What Jiang Li had just said completely aroused the fear in her heart. In desperation, she actually reached out and pushed Jiang Li.

The girl's eyes flashed, and at the critical moment, she dodged to the side, and even stretched out her hand to help Tang Wanrong from behind, so that she missed her target and fell flat on her face.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The woman's fall was so ugly that Zhuyu and the other customers in the store couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ji Qingwan clenched her hands even tighter, pursed her lips tightly, and there was undisguised disgust in her eyes. She had no intention of going over to help her.

"what!"

Tang Wanrong was so angry that she yelled like a madman, and the customers in the store took a step back reflexively.

"You military generals are such rude people! You were born by your mother but not raised by her, and yet a useless idiot is so arrogant!"

"If your father hadn't won a few battles, do you think you have the qualifications to speak to me here?"

Tang Wanrong got up by herself. At this moment, she no longer cared about propriety, righteousness, and shame, and cursed Jiang Li.

After hearing her words involving her mother and father, Jiang Li's face visibly darkened.

"How dare a mere junior offend the great general who defends our country? Is this what your family education is like?"

A majestic and angry voice came from the door, and the next second, Chu Changxun walked in supporting an old woman with half-white hair.

The old woman was leaning on a cane and wearing a dark purple embroidered palace dress, which made her look dignified and majestic.

Jiang Li looked stunned. After meeting Chu Changxun's gaze, they both nodded simultaneously as a greeting.

"I heard that you look down on military families? Then you look down on my old bones too!"

The old woman poked the floor hard with her crutch, and the strong and powerful sound made Tang Wanrong's legs go weak.

Why is this old guy here...

The woman was panicked. This was the grandmother of the Lin family, a first-rank lady personally appointed by the emperor. When the barbarians invaded, she went to the battlefield with the old man Lin and helped the emperor defend three cities.

Although the old woman's eyes had long been cloudy, her gaze was still clear.

The eagle-like sharp eyes fell on Tang Wanrong, and the strong sense of oppression made her unable to straighten her back.

"No, no! That's not what I meant! Madam Lin, please don't blame me! I was just, I was so angry at Jiang Li that I spoke without restraint!"

Chu Changxuan supported the old lady without moving, but his eyes fell coldly on Tang Wanrong.

"Miss Tang is truly outspoken, calling the Third Princess by her name."

Tang Wanrong's body froze, unable to speak. She lowered her head but didn't dare to raise it, her eyes looking around in panic.

Seeing her useless look, Madam Lin was too lazy to argue with her. She sneered and let Chu Changxun support her and walk inside.
