âFrom the capitalâs Jiang family, the daughter of the chief assistantâs di wife, Jiang second miss.â Jiang Li said.
A faint sentence, but it created a clamor of discussions among the previously quiet crowd.
Originally, Liu Zimin was waiting for Jiang Li to open her mouth to ridicule her. But in a split second after hearing her, he stood stiffly in his original place.
The capitalâs Jiang family, the daughter of the chief assistantâs wife, the noble daughter of Yanjingâs chief assistant, everyone knew Jiang You Yao. The girl in front had already introduced herself as Jiang familyâs second miss, the one that left the capital eight years ago, Jiang Li.
It was true that the youngest son of the Taichang Qingâs family could walk sideways in the capital. But everyone knew it was more important not to offend Jiang Yuan Bai, the emperorâs most respected teacher.
Itâs just that at present, Liu Zimin had already ridden the tiger and it was hard to get off. If he admitted it now, in the future, how was he going to mingle in Yanjing? Moreover, if he admitted the accusation and made other people know that he used a fake painting to extort Ye Shijieâs silver, his fellow classmates in the Imperial College would laugh at him. Harming his own reputation, his father would beat him to death.
His mind in a mess, Liu Zimin thought, in the entire Yanjing, it wasnât as if he had never fought against someoneâs son whose position was higher than his. The young masters of some families, although they were great, their temperament was soft. Jiang Li was just a young girl, perhaps by frightening her with a few words, she could softly obey.
Liu Zimin sneered while looking at Jiang Li: âEven if you are a member of the Jiang family, it doesnât mean that your father will protect you. Donât think that because you came out from Jiang family you can then talk rubbish. If I say this painting is genuine then itâs genuine. This young man and you are in cahoots, donât draw disaster to yourself!â Done speaking, he waved his fists around.
This was a threat through and through.
In the carriage, Jiang You Yaoâs eyes brightened as she took in the scene from afar. She itched for Liu Zimin to immediately injure Jiang Li here. In this way, Jiang Li would have a conflict in the middle of the street with a man and her reputation would tumble. No matter how partial Jiang Yuan Bai was towards her, this time he would also get angry.
Jiang You Yao also laughed over Liu Ziminâs nasty behaviour. If Lui Zimin moved his hands, he would certainly not care whether it was male or female, whether the injury was light or severe.
âLiu Zimin,â Ye Shijie frowned and leaned to cover Jiang Li: âOur two peopleâs grudges have nothing to do with other people, donât harm the innocent.â
Liu Zimin burst into loud laughter: âI also have this meaning.â He looked at Jiang Li, his meaning was clear, Itâs best if Jiang Li doesnât get involved in this matter.
If it were other people, the current Jiang Li would perhaps have restrained herself. But since young, she had inherited Xue Huaiyuanâs clarity of gratitude and grudges. Having an enmity towards slanders, in addition, Ye Shijie was still her own relative. The corner of Jiang Liâs lips rose and she said: âWhat a coincidence, I am most unafraid of inviting disaster. Perhaps this young master forgot the reason why I left Yanjing eight years ago.â
Each and every one was startled!
Eight years ago, the charge when Jiang Li left Yanjing was of harming of her mother and murdering her younger brother. Other people couldnât wait and hurriedly conceal their malicious deeds, yet Jiang Li seemed to be afraid that others werenât aware of it and took the initiative to say it out.
Indeed it was touching a sore spot.
Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li in astonishment, seemingly not expecting Jiang Li to say such a sentence. However, Jiang Li actually looked undisturbed, peacefully looking at Liu Zimin.
Suddenly Liu Zimin felt cold sweat breaking in his forehead.
Probably others didnât know what Jiang Li meant by saying this, but Liu Zimin immediately understood. Jiang Liâs meaning was, even the matter about her harming the mother and murdering the younger brother could be said out, what other matter couldnât she speak of? She really couldnât care less with the threat made by Liu Zimin.
Towards this provocation, Liu Zimin originally ought to feel indignant. But looking at Jiang Liâs eyes, he actually felt scared.
