Who would raise a villain as a wife?

In the plot, the Marquis also died on the battlefield less than two years after He Yunjing's death. The Marquis's wife first lost her son and then her husband, and soon died of depression.

He Yunxing inherited the title of Marquis Wu'an. The male protagonist of the team, Wu Ziyan, exposed the collusion between Wu Ziqian and Marquis Wu'an. The queen committed suicide to save Wu Ziqian. The prince was deposed, demoted to a commoner, and was later assassinated by Jiang Li.

From then on, Wu Ziyan and the fourth prince Wu Ziheng competed for the position of crown prince. Jiang Li returned to Lin Kingdom to seize power and destroyed Wu'an Marquis Mansion before leading his troops to attack Wu Kingdom.

This plot is very unfavorable to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and the plot is also related to saving the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which means that as long as he can get Jiang Li's forgiveness, it will be fine.

As for the struggle for imperial power, as long as Marquis Wu'an is still around, there will be no problem in kicking out Aunt Huo and He Yunxing.

He still has a lot of time now and can plan slowly.

Although he was now reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors, other people were allowed to come in. That night, He Yunjing and Marquis Wu'an sat quietly in the study and made careful plans.

Every morning after He Yunjing did blood-letting to raise the flower seedlings, he would go to the yard to practice martial arts to strengthen his body. In the afternoon, he would read a book and practice calligraphy. His life was quite leisurely and stable.

He didn't pay much attention to Jiang Li's situation and basically stayed in the room. However, the food was good, and Jiang Li had obviously gained some weight and looked much more energetic.

That day, the Marquis' wife brought a lot of supplements and cloth to make some new clothes for He Yunjing.

He Yunjing also felt that Jiang Li had adapted enough, so he picked half of them and took the tailor to the side room to find Jiang Li.

After knocking on the door, Jiang Li saw that he was still a little scared, but not as serious.

He Yunjing had the things brought in and put away, pointing at the cloth and saying, "Please choose some for yourself and ask the tailor to measure your body and make some new clothes. Winter is coming soon."

Jiang Li glanced at the cloth on the table. They were all top-quality fabrics bestowed by the emperor, and He Yunjing actually wanted to give them to him.

Jiang Li didn't dare to speak, and a vigilant expression appeared on her face again.

He Yunjing felt a little helpless. His eyes swept to the bamboo basket beside the bed, where a little orange cat was sleeping soundly.

I can tell at first glance that I like it and take good care of it. He Yunjing coughed and said, "If you don't choose me, I'll take the cat away."

Jiang Li immediately pointed at something and said, "This one will do."

"Take a closer look and pick the ones you like. Not even one is enough."

Jiang Li ordered two more dishes with a nervous look, and looked at He Yunjing with a wary look.

He Yunjing did not force it. He motioned the tailor who was waiting outside the door to come in and measure the size. He sat down and drank tea leisurely.

Soon the size was measured, and the tailor left with the fabric that Jiang Li had chosen. He Yunjing ordered those guarding outside to stay away, and his light words frightened Jiang Li again.

He Yunjing put down his teacup and felt a headache. "If I really wanted to hit you, I wouldn't have to call you away. Sit down and I have something to tell you."

Jiang Li didn't move, and when she saw He Yunjing looking at the kitten, she sat down obediently. Her sitting posture was like that of a little schoolboy, very restrained.

He Yunjing looked at her several times, feeling uncomfortable and unaccustomed. He asked Jiang Li, "Do you hate me so much that you want to chop me into pieces and feed me to the dogs?"

Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled slightly and he chose to remain silent. He really hated He Yunjing. As a hostage, his life was already difficult, and He Yunjing took the lead in bullying him.

Not only were they scolded and ridiculed, but beating and kicking him was commonplace. He still remembered how He Yunjing pushed him into the water and almost drowned him.

"Forget it, you can hate me if you want, it's your right. But when the house arrest is over, you'd better not show it so obviously. No matter how bad I am, I am still the young marquis. The queen is my aunt, and the prince is my cousin. As long as you behave well enough with me, no one in Wu Kingdom will dare to bully you openly."

Jiang Li looked at him in surprise, not understanding what He Yunjing wanted to do. Why was he asking whether he hated him or not? Wasn't it He Yunjing who was inexplicably hostile to him first?

As he thought about this, He Yunjing explained, "I hated you before because of my second uncle. You should have heard that my father was stationed at the border, and I followed my second uncle when I was very young. Our relationship was almost like that of a biological father and son."

Jiang Li stopped talking. He had indeed heard that He Yunjing's second uncle died in the last battle between the two countries. He was a Lin countryman, so it was normal for He Yunjing to hate him. So when He Yunjing targeted him and bullied him, it was not wrong for him to hate He Yunjing.

He Yunjing took a deep breath and continued, "I am not saying this to quibble, I am realizing that my previous actions were inappropriate. Casualties are inevitable when two countries fight. Although you are the prince of Lin Country, we are considered enemies. But you did not participate in the war between the two countries, and you did not kill my second uncle.

The fact that you were sent here means that the Emperor of Lin Kingdom has no feelings for you. You have never enjoyed the treatment of a prince, but you have to suffer the crime of being a hostage. I shouldn't have implicated you."

Jiang Li was confused again and looked at He Yunjing with suspicion. Was he apologizing to him?

He Yunjing did mean this, and he didn't shy away from it. "I am apologizing to you, you don't have to answer whether I forgive you or not. I didn't want to bully you by pulling you over here, you can slowly accept this.

Besides my second uncle, there are other people who are instigating me to cause trouble for you. I can't live in the palace forever, and I can't control the palace servants. They are all playing tricks on people, saying one thing in front of you and another behind your back. You should know this clearly."

Jiang Li nodded subconsciously. The palace maids in the cold palace were always the targets of bullying. He was a hostage with no background, no identity, and no one to protect him. As long as he didn't die, anything would be fine. Even if someone asked to protect him, it would be useless.

Seeing Jiang Li nod, He Yunjing's expression eased a little, and he continued, "The Marquis' Mansion is different. I am the master. As long as I ask, no one dares to neglect you. It's just that you can't leave the yard for the time being. Wait for some time, and mother will stabilize the situation in the mansion. You can walk around the Marquis' Mansion.

Besides, you are too weak, so you should start to learn martial arts from me from tomorrow. If I cannot keep you after a year, you will be able to protect yourself in the palace."

Jiang Li suddenly became excited, "I don't want you to teach me!"

"You have no say." He Yunjing said firmly, "The best way to overcome fear is to face it. You will have to return to Lin Country sooner or later. You need to protect yourself, and you must have the ability to protect yourself.

Also, I am not just saying sorry, you can make a request, and I will do whatever I can for you."

He Yunjing paused and added, "Except for you marrying Lin Shuiyuan."

Jiang Li frowned and looked at He Yunjing. What did he mean?

He Yunjing didn't explain, he stood up and said, "Get ready, we'll start early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, He Yunjing left. It wasn't that he didn't want to be gentler towards Jiang Li, but Jiang Li wouldn't believe it if their relationship suddenly became gentle. He still had to take it slow.

The next day, He Yunjing got up as usual, washed up and went to the yard. Jiang Li had already gotten up. The dark green narrow-sleeved long gown made her look thinner, and the belt around her waist made her waist look even slimmer, which made people think too much.
