Chapter 234: I Advise You Not to Have Any Crooked Thoughts

Because she was really too good-looking!

Especially sitting among that group of middle-aged women, it was like a fresh and delicious lychee mixed in a pile of old cucumbers.

It made people want to drool.

Xunhua swallowed his saliva, his eyeballs rolled around, and seeing that the Lin residence servants were all busy with their own things and no one noticed this side, he secretly slipped behind the rockery.

The rockery was only two feet away from the pavilion, and looking through the cracks in the stones, he could just see the young woman's face.

*Tsk tsk tsk*, she was really beautiful.

Xunhua searched his brains and finally came up with the most appropriate adjective—plump and beautiful.

Such a beauty was exactly the type his young master liked most—fleshy, looking festive just by looking at her.

Why did she look more and more familiar?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard the noble woman next to the young woman say with a smile, "Lady Du, look at your skin like congealed fat, what do you usually use to wash your face? Tell us about it, let us old sisters learn too."

Xunhua was shocked.

Lady Du? Jiang Li's wife, that ugly monster with a face full of pockmarks?

Impossible!

He leaned forward, his pair of triangular eyes wide open, looking carefully.

Although the change was huge, he could still vaguely see between the eyebrows that it was indeed that pockmark monster!

This, this was too unbelievable, right?

Xunhua was stunned for a long while, countless thoughts rolling in his mind. After he came back to his senses, he immediately slipped back to the path and ran excitedly toward the flower hall.

The flower hall was still lively, the guests were all saying nice things, and Shen Jing Bin was sitting crookedly in his chair, a look of arrogant laughter on his lips.

It could be seen that he already had a bit of drunkenness.

Xunhua leaned into Shen Jing Bin's ear, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

Shen Jing Bin's eyebrows raised high and then fell.

Then he looked at Jiang Li opposite him with an unclear meaning.

Jiang Li seemed to have sensed something and raised his eyes to meet his gaze.

Shen Jing Bin raised his glass to Jiang Li, drank it in one gulp, then moved his gaze away, turned his head, and asked Xunhua, "Are you sure?"

Xunhua nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I heard it clearly, it's her!"

Shen Jing Bin laughed mockingly.

Interesting.

Such a great beauty, but she disguised herself as an ugly monster. Who is she guarding against?

Fine, since Jiang Li cares so much about his wife, fearing she might be snatched away by others, if he doesn't do something, wouldn't he be failing Jiang Li's good intentions?

Shen Jing Bin put the wine glass on the table and stood up lazily, looking at the handsome man opposite, "Head Constable Jiang, follow me out for a moment, I have some words I want to say to you."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.

He didn't need to say it to guess that this General Renyong couldn't convince the two Prefects at the dinner table, so he was aiming at him again.

As for the credit, if it were in the past, he could do without it.

But now it wouldn't do. His younger brother is destined to walk the path of officialdom in the future, and he knows very well how difficult that path is. His father's death back then was a bloody example; was it really done by bandits?

I'm afraid it was harmed by a villain.

For Jiang Zhan's sake, he must also become strong and never let history repeat itself.

Furthermore, it was also for his wife. Without power or influence, what could he use to protect his little wife?

So the credit that belongs to him, he will never hand over!

Jiang Li smiled slightly, stood up indifferently, "Okay, General Shen, please."

"General Shen..."

Prefect Lin was worried Jiang Li would suffer a loss and opened his mouth to stop him, but was interrupted by Shen Jing Bin, "Don't worry, Lord Lin, it's just a few words, I won't eat him."

Prefect Lin couldn't manage it too much, so he could only watch the two go outside.

Shen Jing Bin took the lead and stood still under a plane tree, looking back at Jiang Li.

"Head Constable Jiang, my previous proposal is still valid. Do you want to reconsider?"

Jiang Li smiled, "Apologies, my reply is still the same as last time, no need to reconsider."

Shen Jing Bin's face turned cold, "It seems you are determined to go against me?"

Jiang Li's expression didn't change, "General Shen thinks too much, I don't have that intention."

The negotiation collapsed again, which was already in Shen Jing Bin's expectations.

Shen Jing Bin looked toward the small garden, "I heard that your wife is actually very beautiful?"

Jiang Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes cold and sharp.

"What does General Shen want to say?"

Shen Jing Bin curled his lips, "I have always been compassionate toward the fair sex. Your wife must have suffered quite a bit following you. You say, if I promised her glory and wealth, food and clothing without worry, would she follow me?"

Jiang Li was extremely angry in his heart.

Threatening him with other things, he could remain calm, but Du Ruo was the exception; she was his greatest weakness.

He naturally knew that Du Ruo couldn't follow Shen Jing Bin, and might even poison this piece of trash.

But Shen Jing Bin talking about his wife with such a frivolous attitude, which man could tolerate it?

Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and then calmly took a flying knife from his waist and played with it in his hand, "I advise General Shen not to have any crooked thoughts, otherwise this flying knife of mine, which has killed hundreds of bandits, might very well turn its face and not recognize anyone."

"Heh, do you dare?" Shen Jing Bin sneered, not taking it seriously.

As soon as the words fell.

Suddenly a cold light flashed before his eyes, and the flying knife was thrown from Jiang Li's hand, shooting straight at him.

Shen Jing Bin didn't expect Jiang Li to actually dare to make a move, and was so scared that his pupils dilated.

The flying knife grazed his ear narrowly and stuck into the plane tree behind him with a *ding*.

"Apologies, I scared General Shen." Jiang Li walked over, pulled out the knife, and there was an ugly gray moth pinned to the tip of the knife, "This kind of insect is the most annoying. Relying on their large numbers, they always like to run out and gnaw on trees. If I don't see them, that's one thing, but if I see them, I must kill them quickly."

He cleaned the flying knife and put it back at his waist, "Does General Shen have anything else to say to me?"

Shen Jing Bin's face was as white as a ghost, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Li cupped his hands toward him, "Since that's the case, I'll go back first."

After saying this, he turned and left.

The moment he entered the door, he bumped into Xunhua face-to-face.

Xunhua glanced at him, ran quickly toward his master, and asked excitedly, "How was it, young master? Did he agree to give up the credit?"

"Agree my ass!" Shen Jing Bin's soul, which had been scared away, finally returned to his body, and he gave him a slap, "This young master almost lost his life!"

You good Jiang Li, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.

Then, don't blame him for getting serious...

Shen Jing Bin kicked Xunhua, "Go, lead the way, this young master wants to see the great beauty you mentioned for himself!" ===== CHAPTER 235 =====
