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

As he spoke, he wanted to get closer to the girl. Jiang Li couldn't help but clench her little hands that hung beside her legs into fists, and then she suddenly grasped the candlestick and pointed it at the man, trembling slightly.

"Don't come here!"

She was still afraid. The disgusting desire in that man's eyes was not concealed at all. If he really wanted to do something, she would have no power to escape from so many people.

Her mentality was still far from being as strong as she had imagined. At this moment, she really missed Li Jinyuan...

This bastard, his wife was about to be bullied, but he didn't come to save her...

"Ouch, what are you doing? Put it down quickly, don't hurt yourself!"

The village chief was very satisfied with Jiang Li's appearance and was afraid that something might go wrong with her before tomorrow.

Jiang Li didn't move, her eyes full of vigilance.

Seeing this, the village chief did not dare to provoke her here. There was no rush anyway. After tomorrow, she would be his and he could do whatever she wanted.

"Take your people and get out."

"Okay, okay. I'm going to go out. You put the things down. But don't hurt yourself. It's unlucky to see blood on such a happy day."

Only after seeing him really lead his men out of the door did Jiang Li breathe a sigh of relief and put down the heavy candlestick. Her small face, the size of a palm, was already pale.

"Knock knock knock."

The sudden knock on the door once again tugged at Jiang Li's nerves.

"Madam, may I come in, please?"

What came from outside the door was not a rough man's voice, but a sweet female voice.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief and raised her voice.

"Enter."

With a creak, the door was pushed open again.

This time, a small figure came in. She carried the tray carefully and tried to keep her balance.

The thin arms were tense from exertion and looked very strained.

"Xiao Li!?"

"Sister Princess..."

The moment the little girl saw Jiang Li clearly, her eyes turned red uncontrollably, and tears as big as beans fell down like crazy, feeling full of grievances.

"Be good, don't cry, don't cry."

"Tell me, did they bully you?"

Jiang Li quickly stepped forward and hugged her in her arms, pinching her sleeves and carefully wiping her tears.

Probably because she finally saw someone close to her in such a tense place, the little girl couldn't stop crying, her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't say anything except hiccups.

Jiang Li didn't interrupt her and let her cry until her clothes were wet.

Finally, seeing that the situation had calmed down, she took the little girl's hand and walked to the bed to sit down.

"Come on, can you answer your sister's question now?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Li nodded obediently, wiped his cheek with the back of his hand, and then began to organize his words.

"They said my father sold me, and now I'm just a servant here... They make me chop wood and cook every day... But these are easy for me because I did them every day at home."

"But... I was a little excited when I came here because I thought I could see my mother and sister, but..."

The little girl couldn't help but purse her lips when she spoke of herself, and her big black eyes were filled with tears.

Jiang Li's eyebrows jumped, and after realizing something, he quickly hugged her in his arms.

"Be good, Xiaoli, don't cry. I'm here with you..."

"Wuwuwu... Sister Princess, once a person dies, will we never see again..."

"I miss my mother and my sister so much..."

Jiang Li sighed softly. She had been an orphan in her previous life since she could remember, so she had never experienced the pain of separation from her loved ones. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort the little girl in front of her.

"No, mother and sister will become the brightest stars in the sky, always staying with you and protecting you wherever Xiao Li looks..."

"So Xiaoli, you must grow up well. Sister Princess will take you away from here."

Listening to Jiang Li's gentle comfort, the little girl's crying gradually subsided.

"My mother and sister have turned into stars..."

"Yes, the star that will protect Xiaoli."

Jiang Li couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke the little girl's hair. It was dry, yellow, and dull. This wasn't the hair quality a healthy child should have...

She must take her out.

From the deeds of Xiaoli's mother and sister, we can see that this mountain stronghold is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. It is estimated that there are many women who committed suicide because they could not bear the humiliation.

Xiao Li is still young now, so she is just treated as a maid. But when she grows up, the dirty faces of these people will be revealed.

Jiang Li lowered her gaze, her eyes determined. Her plan had to succeed, and there couldn't be any mistakes...

"Xiao Li, can you do me a favor?"

"Of course!" The little girl straightened her chest, her eyes full of Jiang Li.

The princess is the best person to her besides her mother and sister. Now she is also the only close person she has left, so of course she is willing to help her!

Jiang Li couldn't help but chuckle, moved by her reaction.

"Can you help me pick some red fruits from the hill behind? The kind that..."

Xiao Li listened carefully and nodded firmly after making sure he remembered the characteristics.

"Oh right! Xiaoli brought some food in for my sister, and it almost got cold."

The little girl jumped off the bed and tried to get the tray on the table.

Jiang Li stood up with her and asked the little girl to sit next to her.

"You should eat some too. You're too thin. If you don't supplement your nutrition, you won't grow taller."

The little girl's hand froze in mid-air as she was about to refuse. She didn't want to be short-lived, as she still had to protect her sister, the princess, in the future...

……

A night passed,

As soon as Li Jinyuan appeared near the stronghold, he saw the bandits inside were busy.

There are red door plaques with thick curtains, red double happiness stickers on the doors and windows, and firecrackers hung high.

Is this... a sign of getting married?

"Hurry! Hurry up! Don't miss the auspicious time for the village chief and the beauty!"

"Yes, a little more to the left, stop! This is the spot!"

"Our village chief is so lucky! The Third Princess is so beautiful! She will be his woman soon!"

"Who says it's not? It's just that I feel sorry for the Third Prince, the God of War. After the village chief pays homage to heaven and earth, he will lead the soldiers down the mountain to chop off his head. His body is still warm, and his wife has become someone else's. I guess he will die with regrets, right? Hahaha..."

Li Jinyuan, hiding behind the haystack, had a gloomy expression, and an extremely dangerous storm was brewing in his pair of ink-black eyes.

The woman who wants to marry him is really tired of living...

The man at this moment was like a volcano about to erupt, with raging magma emitting billowing black smoke, and no grass would grow wherever it touched.

"Hurry up, stop wasting time! If you delay the auspicious time, be careful that the village chief will hold you accountable!"

"Okay, okay..."
