Jiang Ying Yue (50)

"He bought what I concocted," Jiang Ying Yue happily reported to Jiang Li on the following day when they finally reached their destinations. A few minutes ago, they had just been escorted by a servant of the first prince to their temporary courtyards.

Jiang Li was supposed to accompany the three imperial brothers since he too, at least in title, was a prince, but he declined the invitation. While it was true he was no longer in the neutral camp, in the eyes of the world, he was. So even though it was supposed to be an official meeting, he managed to reject it using the excuse that it could be taken as him getting into anybody's faction.

Jiang Li and the villainess were together because as usual, Jiang Li jumped over roofs and walls to see the girl. Of course, they were not doing anything unusual, just talking. Since she was an unmarried maiden with a reputation to maintain, the girl had her maid stay to deter him from doing anything wolfish.
