Although Jiang Xingyan’s words were sincere, they also had an element of politeness,
But he didn’t expect Yu Jiaojiao to say with an eager expression, “I really do need your help.”
Jiang Xingyan nodded, and then heard the other party continue, “Before going to Medicine King Mountain, you must be familiar with all the chess scores and endgame puzzles and be able to solve them. Wangye, you’re so smart, you can definitely do it, right?”
Looking at Yu Jiaojiao’s appearance, Jiang Xingyan thought for a while, and still nodded, “I’ll do my best.”
In the days after agreeing to this matter, all the way until they set off, even in the carriage, Jiang Xingyan was holding the chess score book and reading.
There was also a chess game in front of him, and Yu Jiaojiao would occasionally practice with him, so the time passed quite quickly.
Not long after Jiang Xingyan and Yu Jiaojiao left, Yu Jingjing didn’t continue to stay confined at home obediently, but went to see Xue Shan.
“Shan Shan, listen to my explanation. I’ve called Li Gongzi here today, just to make it clear to you. There’s nothing between Li Lang and me. Please believe us this time. I’m your good sister, how could I have any involvement with Li Gongzi?” Yu Jingjing looked at Xue Shan sincerely.
Her reputation in the capital was ruined now, and Xue Shan was her last hope.
Hearing these words, Xue Shan sneered, “So Li Jinghuan asked me to come here today not to discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement, but to prove your innocence?”
“Shan Shan, there’s really nothing between Li Gongzi and me, and I’m already married. Elder Sister also said that I and Husband had known each other for a long time and had a private engagement, so how could I have anything to do with Li Gongzi? You’re my only friend in the capital. If I lose you, I really don’t know what to do?”
Yu Jingjing cried with a wronged expression, and continued, “I also don’t know why Elder Sister would say that, and I also don’t know why she would know that Li Gongzi has my handkerchief. There must be some misunderstanding in this.”
Hearing these words, Li Jinghuan also continued, “I picked up this handkerchief some time ago. I don’t know whose embroidery it is, otherwise I wouldn’t have worn it so openly.”
“You’re wearing it openly? You’re just feeling guilty, otherwise why would you lie when I asked you about that handkerchief that day? I have nothing to say to you now. I just want to break off the engagement and have nothing to do with you in the future,” Xue Shan looked at the two people in front of her with disgust.
The thing she couldn’t accept the most was deception. Now that she had been turned into this by the two people closest to her, how could she accept it?
“What exactly do you want me to do to forgive you? This matter is really just a misunderstanding. How about this, I’ll kneel down and beg you to forgive me. As long as you’re willing to forgive me, I’ll do anything,” saying that, Yu Jingjing was about to kneel down.
But Xue Shan didn’t look like she was going to help her up. She bit her lip and was about to continue kneeling down.
But Li Jinghuan couldn’t stand it anymore, and quickly reached out to help her up.
He accused Xue Shan, “Don’t go too far. I’ve already said that I have nothing to do with Jingjing. Can you not be so willful? You beat her that day, but she has still been protecting you all along. Don’t you think you’re going too far?”
If it were in the past, Yu Jingjing would definitely be very happy that Li Jinghuan was protecting her like this.
But now was not the best time. She quickly pushed him away, looking at Xue Shan with a worried expression.
Xue Shan laughed angrily when she saw this scene, “Jingjing? What an intimate name. I really want to ask Jiang Gongzi if he knows that my fiancé calls his wife that?”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two people present changed.
“I’m telling you, this marriage is definitely off, but it’s because I dislike you and don’t want you anymore, it has nothing to do with me,” Xue Shan sneered.
Since Yu Jiaojiao exposed this matter, she had finally figured out many things from the past.
No wonder Li Jinghuan often praised Yu Jingjing in front of her, and after the two quarreled, Yu Jingjing would persuade him and he would take the initiative to apologize.
It turned out that Yu Jingjing was Li Jinghuan’s sweetheart.
Xue Shan thought of everything in the past, and felt nauseous, wishing she could vomit it all out.
But she heard Li Jinghuan say righteously, “Yes, I admit that I do admire Jiang Furen. She’s so good, it’s normal for me to have feelings for her, and that was all before she got married.”
“Since she got married, I’ve also given up on this idea and sincerely hope that she’s happy. I can say this even if it spreads, and I’ll be justified.”
“As for you, you’re so willful and unreasonable. If it weren’t for Jiang Furen mediating, I would have been unable to bear it long ago. How could I have gotten engaged to someone like you? Moreover, in the entire capital, besides me, do you think there would be anyone else who would want to marry you? Stop it.”
“It’s not good for your reputation if this matter gets out. There are many people who want to marry me, but there aren’t many people who want to marry you. You better marry me obediently, and I can still let you sit firmly in the position of the legal wife because of our past relationship.”
Yu Jingjing’s face turned pale after hearing these words, her heart full of regret.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have let Li Jinghuan apologize together today.
She kept pulling on the corner of the other party’s clothes, wanting to stop him from talking nonsense, but she could only watch the other party keep talking.
She looked at Xue Shan with a guilty expression, “Shan Shan, this has nothing to do with me, I didn’t know he would think like this.”
Afterwards, she gritted her teeth and slapped him.
“Jinghuan, you…” Li Jinghuan was stunned, looking at Yu Jingjing in disbelief.
“You’re really going too far? How can you say that to Shan Shan? Shan Shan is clearly the best girl in the capital,” Yu Jingjing glanced at Xue Shan’s expression, and then said, “Moreover, have you ever thought about how I would feel if you talked nonsense like this?”
“I’m already married, do you want to force me to die? Moreover, I have never had any good feelings for you, I only treated you well before because you were Shan Shan’s fiancé.”
Xue Shan watched this dog-eat-dog show with satisfaction, and then said, “Is this the show you wanted me to see? My eyes can’t tolerate sand, deception is deception, I will never forgive you.”
After leaving these words, she directly walked away.
Now, she wouldn’t be so easily deceived.
Xue Shan couldn’t help but think of Yu Jiaojiao, and a deep gratitude flashed in her heart.
If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t know how long she would have been deceived.
