Li Hongyuan thought for a moment and shook his head silently.
Who would dare to do it?
Not to mention the pain of breaking a bone, if it goes wrong, it would be completely ruined.
Jiang Ning said, “I can’t bear to be disabled for the rest of my life. I had to find someone else to help.”
“Aren’t you afraid…”
“I’m afraid, but I’m willing to bet. And you’ve seen the result.” Jiang Ning stood up, picked up her skirt, and lightly turned around in place, “I won.”
Li Hongyuan looked up at her.
Watching the hem of her white skirt flutter, watching the exquisite embroidered shoes on her feet.
She moved gracefully like an elegant elf.
But, this doesn’t change the fact that she is a gambler.
Li Hongyuan didn’t understand how such a young woman in her teens could have such cunning and courage.
It seemed that there was nothing in this world that she dared not dream of, nor anything she dared not do.
Jiang Ning sat down across from him again and smiled, “Don’t be too surprised or admire me too much. In fact, this matter isn’t difficult to calculate. The hard part is to put yourself in such danger. After all, I’m still very afraid of death.”
“I see that you’re not afraid of death at all.”
Li Hongyuan glared at her fiercely.
What a crazy gambler!
What if Ms. Ma wouldn’t dare go against Li Jixian and just killed her directly?
What if Li Jixian violated her?
Had she ever thought about these things, or was she willing to take these risks just to have her leg broken and be reborn?
If she really had such determination, there would always be other ways. Why take such a big risk?
Li Hongyuan was very angry in his heart.
So he didn’t speak, just took the water bottle and silently drank water.
Jiang Ning said, “Actually, this was just incidental. I didn’t do this solely for Ms. Ma to break my leg. My original intention was to bring down Li Jixian because I didn’t like him. Besides, if I hadn’t been harmed, how could you have been cruel enough to cripple the Crown Prince’s leg?”
Li Hongyuan opened his mouth, “…Are you calculating me as well? You don’t need to tell me your calculations!”
It’s simply outrageous.
This woman is simply insane!
Li Hongyuan was so angry that he didn’t want to pay attention to her.
He thought he had implicated her, but it turned out that she had taken the initiative to provoke others to clean her up.
Jiang Ning stretched out her hand to tug at his sleeve, “Don’t be angry, I really just did these things by taking advantage of the situation.”
“Taking advantage? Tell me, what kind of situation are you taking advantage of?”
“Li Jixian was lustful, coveting his brother’s wife, that wasn’t my fault! He and Ms. Ma were vicious, bullying the emperor’s eldest grandson, clearing obstacles for their own son, and I didn’t set them up for that! You see, shouldn’t I clean them up?”
Li Jixian was speechless, “Indeed, they should be cleaned up.”
“So you’re not angry anymore?”
“I’m not angry because you’re cleaning them up, but because… you didn’t tell me about any of this. Do you think I wouldn’t cooperate with you? At least I could help you, protect you.”
“If you knew I was doing it on purpose, would you still cut off Li Jixian’s leg in anger? The play must be real for it to be touching.”
Li Hongyuan was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Whether you did it on purpose or not, your injuries are real. You only think about yourself; don’t you ever think that many people would be heartbroken, worried, and concerned because of this?”
“I really never thought about hurting myself at first. It’s just that after I found out about the conflict between Li Jixian and Ms. Ma, I took advantage of it. You think about it, Li Jixian liked me, and he wouldn’t kill or hurt me before he got
me..’
