“Does Young Master Yu not want to answer?”
Yu Jin suddenly smiled: “Miss Jiang, that’s not the right attitude for a proper discussion. Don’t forget, I’m the one threatening you now, not the other way around.”
This girl wanted to pressure him into submission right now? He would have to wait until she married him before he would willingly comply.
Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kill to silence her.
“What does Young Master Yu suggest we discuss?”
Yu Jin chuckled, seemingly confident that the girl across from him would not object: “Miss Jiang, you ask a question first, and then I will ask one. This back-and-forth will be fair. What do you think?”
Jiang Si bit her lip lightly.
This scoundrel was indeed the type to take advantage without suffering any loss.
In her previous life, he had coaxed her into being a substitute for his beloved, and now that she knew the truth, she felt deeply trapped. Just thinking about that scoundrel’s every little action made her unable to bring herself to use tricks like faking her death or becoming a nun. She could only entangle herself with him while suffering in silence, a feeling that was hard to articulate.
“Fine, let’s do it that way.”
“Then Miss Jiang, please ask first.” Yu Jin toyed with the teacup, his gaze lightly sweeping over the girl’s fair and delicate face.
She seemed to be angry.
Anger was also quite endearing; what should he do if he wanted to kiss her?
The boy’s gaze suddenly darkened, landing on the girl’s exquisitely curved lips.
It must be said that the girl was truly blessed; her lips were naturally rosy, the most enticing shade of pink, moist, and without a single line.
Yu Jin’s gaze grew even deeper.
Jiang Si inexplicably felt the room grow warmer.
The silhouettes of the two were cast on the gauzy window, and for a moment, it felt as if time had stopped.
Long Dan, squatting in the courtyard, stared intently at the window, feeling extremely anxious.
Was the master just bringing the girl back for a chat in the middle of the night?
The phrase “wishing for iron to become steel” perfectly encapsulated the little guard’s feelings at that moment.
“Alright, back to the previous question. When did Young Master Yu start following me?”
“Not following, but protecting,” Yu Jin emphasized, and seeing the girl across from him about to lose her temper, he added leisurely, “After Miss Jiang left my place.”
“Why?”
Yu Jin chuckled lightly: “That’s the second question.”
Jiang Si took a deep breath, coldly saying, “You ask.”
“How did Miss Jiang discover that the son of Marquis Changxing was harming women?”
Jiang Si had spoken those words as the ghost of Madam Xiu’s daughter, and Yu Jin had heard everything clearly from the shadows.
At that time, just the thought of Jiang Si staying overnight at the Changxing Marquis’s mansion and then discovering such a shocking secret about the Marquis’s son made him wish he could tear the Marquis’s son to pieces.
Had that beast done something to Jiang Si? Otherwise, how would a young girl know about these things?
Jiang Si sighed inwardly.
She had known he would ask this.
How to deal with the son of Marquis Changxing to ruin him, she had already made plans and did not want to involve others and complicate matters.
But she understood Yu Qi; if she were vague today, he would turn around and chop the son of Marquis Changxing into pieces to feed the dogs, clean and simple, without hesitation.
She didn’t want to make it so easy for the son of Marquis Changxing!
“I accidentally stumbled upon the son of Marquis Changxing’s servant burying a body in the garden at the Marquis’s mansion at night and overheard their conversation.”
Yu Jin suddenly stood up.
Jiang Si, alarmed, stood in front of him: “Where are you going?”
