Cheng Heli smiled slightly, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, little prince! If I can marry the princess in the future, we will be a family from now on!"

Miao Shengning slammed the table excitedly and said, "That's right! From now on, your business is my business! Don't worry, I will go to the palace tomorrow to talk to His Highness and I will definitely help you escape the pursuit of the Cao family!"

"Thank you, little prince..."

"You're welcome! Old Cheng, we're family from now on!"

The next day.

In the garden pavilion, Jingying sat on a chaise longue basking in the sun, while her maid Bingsui said, "Princess, Yao Bilian and her daughter are outside the palace asking to see you!"

A trace of disgust flashed across Jingying's delicate face. "Didn't I give the remaining several hundred taels of silver to them? Why are they still pestering me?"

"They said they wanted to discuss something with the princess regarding Madam Jiang..."

Jingying said contemptuously: "They have been driven out by the Jiang family now, what can they do to deal with that little village girl? I'm afraid they can't even enter the gate of the Jiang family, what are you discussing with me?"

"They said it has something to do with Madam Jiang's background..."

Jingying's face immediately changed when she heard this, "Bring them in!"

"Yes!"

Bingsui turned and walked out of the garden, all the way to the door, where Li's mother and daughter were waiting there anxiously. When they heard her say, "The princess wants you to come in," both mother and daughter were obviously relieved, and hurriedly followed her carefully to the back garden.

Li stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Princess Jingying!"

Jingying said in a clear and charming voice, "I wonder what Madam Yao wants to discuss with me?"

Li looked around, Jingying waved her hand, and the maids next to her retreated.

Jingying said: "Okay, there's no one here now, you can talk without worry."

Unexpectedly, Li came up and asked a very heart-wrenching question: "Princess, are you willing to lose to that girl like this?"

Jingying glared at her angrily and said, "Why, do you have any good ideas? By the way, what is the matter related to Qinghe's life experience that you are talking about? Isn't she your biological daughter?"

Li showed a flattering look on her face, "The princess is really smart, she guessed it right away. That's right, that girl is indeed not my biological daughter!"

Jingying said disapprovingly: "So what? Even if she is not your daughter, isn't she still the young lady of the Jiang family?"

"But if she is the daughter of a traitor, would the Jiang family still be willing to let her be the young lady?"

"What did you say!"

Jingying was so shocked that she stood up from the chaise longue, walked up to Li and asked sternly, "The daughter of a traitor? Which traitor!"

Li lowered her head and said graciously, "Princess, how about we make a deal? I will tell you her life story and help you deal with her. How about you pay me 10,000 taels of silver?"

Jingying was very excited at first, but after hearing these words, she suddenly calmed down!

She stared at Li suspiciously and said, "You are not desperate and want to cheat me of some money and run away, right?"

Jingying thought that maybe she was too generous in giving them money last time, so this time they just cheated her out of a lot of money! After getting the money, they fled to the countryside and lived in hiding...

Jingying smiled coquettishly and said, "Madam Yao, it's fine for you to fool others with your tricks, but don't try to fool me... Otherwise, I will find a way to put you back in jail!"

Li sighed helplessly and said, "Okay! Since the princess doesn't trust us mother and daughter, we won't force her... Just pretend that I haven't been here today!" After saying that, she turned and walked out of the pavilion.

Jingying looked at her back hesitantly, and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Li immediately stopped and turned around to look at her, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"

Jingying looked at her, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked in confusion, "Why are you planning to tell me this news now?"

After hearing this, Li's expression changed instantly!

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Since she no longer recognizes me as her mother, I naturally have no obligation to keep her secret! In fact, even she herself doesn't know that she is the daughter of a traitor! If I go to the government office to report it, the Jiang family has great connections and will definitely suppress the news! But it's different for you, Princess. If things get out of hand, you will be the one who reaps the benefits... The title of Madam Jiang is worth more than ten thousand taels of silver, right!"

After listening to it, Jingying was really moved!

As long as she could make the little village girl disappear, she would be willing to add another 10,000 taels!

She said gently, "Madam Yao, please tell me the secret you know! If I think it's useful, I will naturally give you 10,000 taels of silver."

Li laughed after hearing this!

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Princess, how could I easily tell you something so important? If you want to hear it, bring me 10,000 taels of silver first!"

Jingying stared at Li intently, and Li stared back at her without fear...

After the two looked at each other in silence for a moment, Jingying compromised and frowned, "Ten thousand taels of silver is not worth much, but how do I know whether the news you said is true or false? What if she is just an orphan you picked up and you made up a story to fool me?"

"No! You know what I just said is true!" Li stared at her intently and said word by word: "If you didn't believe it, you wouldn't have called me!"

Jingying chuckled and said calmly, "Well, even if what you said is true, how can I tell whether it is true or not? The government will not punish her so easily just because of my one-sided story. I am afraid that she will not be in any trouble, but I will be sent to jail by Mr. Jiang for framing and spreading rumors! Madam Yao, you don't want me to stay in jail for a few days because you are resentful of me for letting Qinghe break off the engagement, right?"

As a result, Li's face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment... because she did have this plan!

It would be best if I could get the ten thousand taels of silver smoothly, but if something goes wrong in the process, it would be a relief to be able to send Jingying, the culprit who made her homeless, to jail!

The reason why mother and daughter have fallen to this state is ultimately because of Jingying!

If she hadn't suggested forcing Qinghe to break off the engagement, the Jiang family wouldn't have been so furious and sent her and her daughter to jail!

Li deeply regretted every day in prison... regretting that he should not have been bewitched and believed Jingying's words!

So she came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone. She could take 10,000 taels of silver and return to her hometown to live comfortably in her old age, and at the same time, she could put Jingying in jail! Anyway, if there was any mistake in the process, the Jiang family would deal with Jingying, and it had nothing to do with her, Li Juxian!
