"If I'm polite, will you agree to cancel the engagement?"

"I can consider it."

Shen Li didn't believe it: "Then tell me, how do you want me to be polite?"

"Why not just dance a little and make me happy, then maybe I'll agree."

"Xie Laosan, don't go too far. If you want to watch dancing, you can go to a brothel. Don't insult people here." Jin Duobao said.

"If I have the same taste as you, how can I be attracted by the women there?"

Jin Duobao was really angry at this time. He and the Xie family had always had business dealings, and gradually, the two became friends. Although his personality was different after he became lame, he could still get along with him. Why would he say such an outrageous thing today?

After hearing this, Shen Li wanted to laugh. It turned out that they had the same taste and both liked Shen Yanyan.

"Thank you, Third Young Master. You don't have to make things difficult for me. I'm not a little girl who knows nothing. You have no intention of canceling the engagement. To be honest, although Han Sisi and I are friends, we haven't known each other for long. The reason I helped her so much is because the person she likes is also my friend, and I promised my little guard to help them. But at the same time, I am also moved by the feelings between them. I think people like you can't understand."

Xie Liangrui showed a mocking look again: "I don't need to understand any feelings. If you are really willing to sacrifice yourself for them, why not consider my proposal and marry me instead of Han Sisi? Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

"Xie Liangrui, what are you talking about? If you go too far again, don't blame me for being rude." Jin Duobao said angrily.

Xie Liangrui ignored Jin Duobao and kept staring at Shen Li with a disdainful smile on his face: "Why don't you say anything? Haha, it's nothing more than that."

Shen Li felt that this person was really unreasonable: "Are you sick? If you are sick, go get treatment. What nonsense are you talking about? I sympathize with them and appreciate their feelings, but I won't trade myself for them. Did I give you the illusion that I would do such a stupid thing? If they also treat me as a friend, do you think if I really do this, they can live their lives as if nothing happened?"

Xie Liangrui originally thought that Shen Li would be ashamed, but she actually said that and scolded him, which made him unable to react for a moment and he stood there in a daze.

Shen Li continued, "I'm telling you, if you don't agree to cancel the engagement, I can think of other ways, but don't mention what happened just now again, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will say or do."

Xie Liangrui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait. But don't give up. I look forward to what you're going to do next."

Who on earth is this person? Shen Li was really helpless: "That's nothing, please leave first, I want to talk to Mr. Jin alone."

Xie Liangrui glanced at Jin Duobao, who still had some anger on his face, so he smiled and decided not to provoke him too harshly, as there was still a long way to go. "Then I'll leave first, and we'll talk about our business another day."

"Yeah." Jin Duobao watched Xie Liangrui leave, then said to Shen Li with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm sorry, if I had known he was so excessive, I wouldn't have asked you to come in."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"You know each other? It seems like you have had a relationship before?"

Shen Li started by talking about saving Han Sisi, then talked about meeting Su Huai, and then talked about the first time he met Xie Liangrui: "Alas! How can he be like this? He obviously doesn't like her, but he still wants to marry her. He obviously doesn't care and seems to be fine with marrying anyone, but he just won't break off the engagement."

"He wasn't like this before. He used to be a very cheerful boy and was always successful on the battlefield. But after he was injured, he became a completely different person. His legs can no longer support him on the battlefield, and many people say behind his back that he is a cripple. Gradually, he stopped walking on his own and only sat in a wheelchair. His temperament also became unpredictable."

Shen Li nodded: "This is not cloudy at all, this is a violent storm."

Jin Duobao smiled and said, "I think he is a little special to you. He is really not like this to others. Although he has a cold face, he will never make things difficult for you."

"Forget it. I don't want this special thing. But can you help me find out what he wants and how he can agree to cancel the engagement? It would be even better if I could just persuade him to agree, but I don't think it's possible. How could he agree so easily?"

Jin Duobao nodded in agreement: "Yes, but no matter what, I will help you speak more."

"Yeah." Shen Li looked at him and said hesitantly, "I heard that Shen Yanyan went to Kyoto to find you. Did she come with you this time?"

She really wanted Shen Yanyan to come, so that she could meet Xie Liangrui, and then he might agree to cancel the engagement for Shen Yanyan.

"You knew already?"

"Yes, before coming to Xizhou Prefecture, I had a big fight with her mother, who is also my third aunt."

Jin Duobao felt a little uncomfortable at this moment. She knew that Shen Yanyan came to see her, but she didn't mind at all. It seemed that she really only regarded him as a friend: "She didn't come. I came here to deal with some business matters. I don't plan to delay for long. I will go back to Kyoto."

Shen Li said "Oh" in disappointment: "I want to ask a question, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

"You weren't so nagging before. What do you want to ask?"

"Will you and Shen Yanyan get married?"

"Well...she said that she doesn't want to get married for the time being. She has just reached the age of marriage and doesn't want to get married so soon."

"What about you? What do you think?"

"I... I don't know either. I always feel that she is hiding a lot of things from me, and she doesn't seem to like me that much. We met together before, and she was with the son of the governor of Xiezhou. In Kyoto, she also seemed to have made friends with many young men, including some of the most powerful people in the dynasty. I always feel that I am just one of the young men she knows."

Shen Li felt that Jin Duobao's words were true, but the direction of things was still wrong. In the original book, there were many people around the heroine, but these people seemed to be unable to see each other, and even if they saw each other, they didn't care at all.

But Jin Duobao, now that he knew what was going on, didn't seem sad.

In fact, she thinks that as a friend, Jin Duobao is still a good person. If he and Shen Yanyan like each other, being together would be a good ending. Unfortunately, Shen Yanyan might not hang herself on this tree at all, so she doesn't want him to get hurt, but she can't help with this kind of thing.
