The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 59 Revenge

He was at a loss for words, walked up to her awkwardly, handed her a handkerchief, and whispered, "Don't cry, it's my fault."

Jiang Li took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, but her tears were blocked by the mask.

She took off her mask angrily, threw it on Xie Changan's desk, covered her face with a handkerchief, and sobbed.

Seeing that the handkerchief was soaked, Xie Changan felt indescribable heartache. He slowly reached out and hugged the sobbing girl in his arms.

Jiang Li felt extremely aggrieved and just wanted to find someone to rely on.

She felt a pair of strong arms around her, and she couldn't help burying her face in his chest and crying even more sadly.

Xie Changan's nose was filled with the girl's faint fragrance, his face felt hot, and his ears turned red as if bleeding.

Jiang Li's crying was heard by half of the Eastern Depot.

When Yin Shiyi and others rushed back, they heard that Jiang Li was punished with five lashes and couldn't help but gasp.

"That whip has barbs. Little Sixteen must have been badly injured. No wonder he cried so miserably!"

"Thank you, you are too unkind to women!"

The two of them hurried over to see how seriously injured Xiao Shiliu was, only to see a group of people squatting under Xie Changan's window and eavesdropping.

Yin Shiyi and others quickly joined in.

Seeing Xie Changan holding the crying Jiang Li in his arms and comforting her, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Go ahead and beat him. If he cries, you'll have to comfort him. Why bother?"

Xie Changan gritted his teeth and shouted out the window: "Get out of here!"

Everyone quickly scattered.

Xie Changan sighed: "Don't cry, they are all laughing at you."

"I was wrong. What compensation do you want? Tell me." He whispered.

Jiang Li raised her head and sobbed, "Really? Anything is possible?"

Xie Changan was helpless: "That has to be something I can do."

"I want to go shopping." She looked eager, like a little girl asking for candy.

"No." Xie Changan refused.

Jiang Li pouted in grievance: "I haven't taken a good look at what the capital city looks like yet."

Hearing her pitiful tone, Xie Changan's heart softened.

After all, she was just a young girl who had been locked up in a country farm for more than ten years. When she finally returned to the capital, she was hurriedly stuffed into the palace. How could she not yearn for the outside world?

He sighed, "In broad daylight, do you want to walk around wearing a mask? Or show your true face?"

Jiang Li pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.

He then added: "It's not impossible to go to the night market."

"Really?" Jiang Li's tearful eyes suddenly lit up, and her face, with tears in her eyes, looked even more beautiful.

Xie Changan looked away uncomfortably: "Well, there will be a lantern festival in East City the day after tomorrow, I will take you there then."

"You are so kind, sir!" Jiang Li was overjoyed.

It’s really June, like a baby’s face, it changes in an instant.

Xie Changan had a headache: "Turn around, let me see if there are any wounds?"

Jiang Li turned around as she was told. Xie Changan took off her cloak and saw that the skin on her back was as white and translucent as snow, without even a mark.

The whip used by the Eastern Depot for executions was so powerful that even a grown man would have his skin torn apart after being whipped a few times. But she was lucky, not even a trace was left on her.

"It was my negligence. You scared the brother who was carrying out the execution very much." Xie Changan chuckled.

Jiang Li pouted: "Even though it can't hurt me, it still hurts!"

It's not like she has lost her five senses, so she will naturally feel pain when the whip hits her body.

Xie Changan's heart tightened: "Does it still hurt?"

"I'm feeling better now."

Xie Changan said softly: "Don't move, I'll apply some pain-relieving ointment on you."

He carefully cleaned her with a handkerchief and then applied ointment.

The skin on her back was white and tender, and felt like solidified jade to the touch. When Xie Changan applied medicine to her, he inevitably touched it, and his heartbeat quickened.

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "Okay, go to the inner room and change your clothes."

Jiang Li turned around, tears still hanging on her long eyelashes, like a peony covered with dew, so charming and lovely.

Xie Changan looked away and said sternly, "Don't take off your mask again in the future!"

"understood."

Jiang Li pouted and put the mask back on, "Should I wear it while visiting the night market?"

"There are masks for sale at the night market. You can put on men's clothes then."

Jiang Li suddenly realized that this way people would just think she was a naughty teenager who had just bought a mask.

"As long as I can walk around this capital, I'll be fine even if I dress up as a beggar!"

She excitedly went to the inner room to change her clothes.

Xie Changan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and he actually had some vague anticipation for the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow.

After Yin Jiu woke up, he learned that he was captured by the King of Qi and was used as bait. He almost caused Jiang Li to fall into the hands of the King of Qi. He was both moved and guilty.

"Little Sixteen, if you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Jiang Li was eager to make a move: "Then let's go to Prince Qi's mansion and set it on fire?"

A man who does not seek revenge is not a gentleman. The King of Qi actually dared to kidnap people openly. Jiang Li is a person who refuses to accept even the slightest loss, so he will definitely take revenge.

Yin Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

He was willing to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

Before their plan could be implemented, they were stopped by Xie Changan.

"let me."

Xie Changan's title of "cruel and vindictive" is not undeserved.

Late at night the next day, he led the secret guards, dressed in black and with black scarves covering their faces, and sneaked into the Prince of Qi's villa. He killed Nangong Xi and the martial arts masters he had hired at a great price, killing them all without leaving a single one alive.

Nangong Xihe was very angry when he learned that Xie Changan suddenly appeared, rescued Jiang Li, beat the two bandits half to death, and sent them to the Ministry of Justice to receive the reward.

The next day, it was heard that a group of men in black broke into the villa in the middle of the night and massacred Qingfeng Garden. It was obvious that this was Xie Changan's revenge.

But he did not dare to speak out, because most of the gangsters in Qingfengyuan were wanted criminals for murder, so he had to swallow his loss with hatred.

"A bunch of trash!"

He was so angry that he smashed the study to pieces.

Xie Changan, how dare you look down on me like this? Once I reach that position, I will tear you into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!

At this time, Feng Chuan came to the palace to find him with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, do you know that after Yin Shiliu returned yesterday, Xie Changan was furious and whipped the little beauty several times himself!"

Nangong Xihe was angry and looked heartbroken when he heard this.

"How could he have the heart to lay hands on such a beauty! I heard that the whips of the Eastern Depot are all barbed. Did he hurt the little beauty?"

Wouldn't it be a pity if such skin, whiter than snow, was left with scars?

Feng Chuan smiled and said, "No, they couldn't bear to kill her. I heard that because she was whipped once more, the little beauty refused to give in and cried so hard that half of the East Factory heard her."

Nangong Xihe laughed, this was indeed something that the evil spirit could do.

If the little beauty creates a rift with Xie Changan because of this, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the situation?

He thought of the beauty under the moon that night, who was so stunningly beautiful, so rare and so smart and lively, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.

"Don't be impatient, Your Highness. Once you ascend the throne, the beauty will be at your fingertips." Feng Chuan said flatteringly.

Nangong Xihe showed a smug smile, as his father was about to make him the crown prince.

All is ready except for the opportunity.
