750 The Deal
Xiao Yuâer did not believe it at all. Her eyes were filled with vigilance. âNo matter what, I wonât let you take the jade bracelet.â
Jiang Ming saw through Xiao Yuâerâs thoughts and continued to comfort her. âI will definitely not take this bracelet. If you donât mind, I just want to look at it.â
Although he was telling the truth, there were many loopholes in his words. If one listened carefully, they would understand what he truly meant.
Xiao Yuâer did not notice the loopholes in Jiang Mingâs words and immediately began to consider his request.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yuâer made a decision.
Her thoughts were rather simple. Her simplicity made her seem rather innocent.
Xiao Yuâer pulled up her clothes and sat on a stool at the side. She looked at Jiang Ming and said seriously, âI hope you can answer a few questions. If you canât, then you can forget about seeing the jade bracelet. Also, I have some conditions!â
Jiang Ming agreed immediately. âWhat do you want to know?â
He wanted to see the jade bracelet.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuâer felt a little strange. âIs this bracelet very important to you? Do you have some kind of relationship with the owner of this bracelet?â
She was extremely curious.
Seeing the curiosity in Xiao Yuâerâs eyes, Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He coughed and said, âWeâve met two or three times. Nothing special happened, so donât overthink.â
Xiao Yuâer was instantly disappointed, but she did not say much. She just sighed and said, âWhat a pity.â
âAlright, quickly tell me your conditions. What are your conditions?â
Jiang Ming went to the main topic.
Xiao Yuâer looked at Jiang Ming, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. âNing Caichen, I want you to help me kill someone!â
His tone was very determined and sharp. There was also a tinge of deep sadness in it.
Jiang Ming could see Xiao Yuâerâs emotions and asked curiously, âMs. Xiao, can you tell me what happened?â
Xiao Yuâer was stunned for a moment before slowly revealing her past.
âI was originally the free and unfettered Ms. Jiang of the Fengyu Kingdom. I wandered around and set up a shop wherever I went. However, I was framed and manipulated by that person. In the end, not only did I lose my shop, but I was also forced to become a prostitute. I became a hostess in the Ruyi Pavilion, and I was the best here.â
In the end, Xiao Yuâer spoke bitterly, her eyes filled with confusion.
Jiang Ming could roughly understand Xiao Yuâerâs feelings, so he also talked about his own experiences in order to win her trust. âAlthough it was not as bad as what happened to you, I was almost chased away from where I was.â
Xiao Yuâerâs jaw dropped, and she sized up Jiang Ming. âWith your outstanding ability, how could you be chased away?â
âWhat do you mean? Do you think that Iâm powerful?â
Jiang Ming held his chin and asked. There was another layer to his questions.
Xiao Yuâer frowned and replied seriously, âLord Ning Caichen, I think you have a good temperament and know a lot of things. Iâm sure youâre quite powerful.â
Jiang Mingâs mind wandered, and he vaguely remembered the scene of Prince Qiqihar arguing with him. He shook his head for a moment. âPeople are selfish. Youâre still too inexperienced.â
Xiao Yuâer was stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something bad. Then, she smiled bitterly. âThatâs true. Iâve experienced this kind of thing before. Itâs just that Iâve been living very comfortably recently and have forgotten about these things. Thatâs why Iâm so naive now.â
âSo, Ms. Xiao, do you plan to stay here for a long time?â
Jiang Ming casually chatted with Xiao Yuâer.
In his opinion, Xiao Yuâerâs experience was quite tragic.
No matter what, Xiao Yuâerâs personality was good. She did not vent her frustrations on others because of her bad experience.
Xiao Yuâer became confused. âI donât know either. Maybe I will stay here, maybe I wonât. The main thing is that I donât know where to go when I leave this place.â
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and said in a strange voice, âSince youâre the young lady of the Jiang family, you should have learned a lot of things. Wonât you be able to support yourself with your skills? How can you not know anything?â
Xiao Yuâer was at a loss. âWho am I? Iâm just a woman from a brothel.â
âDid someone abduct you and bring you here? Anyway, based on how popular you are now, you can redeem yourself and live a new life.â
Jiang Ming spoke to Xiao Yuâer, trying to let her see the value of her life.
Upon hearing Jiang Mingâs words, Xiao Yuâer looked at him in surprise and said, âHow did you know that I was threatened and abducted?â
âAh?â
Jiang Ming did not expect that he would be right. He felt even more sympathy for Xiao Yuâer.
âThe person who threatened me is Madam Zhenguoâs good friend, the wife of the king of the Fengyu Kingdom, Liuâer Yuanyuan.â
Xiao Yuâer did not think there was anything to hide from Jiang Ming.
Liuâer Yuanyuan?
Jiang Ming tried his best not to laugh.
He felt that this name was really funny. How could someone come up with such a name?
However, that name was given by their parents, so it was not easy to change it.
âHow did Liuâer Yuanyuan threaten you?â
Jiang Ming immediately asked.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuâer started crying when she spoke. âLiuâer Yuanyuan took away my indwelling contract and forced me to stay in the Ruyi Pavilion. If Iâm not in the Ruyi Pavilion, she will sell me elsewhere.â
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming asked, âMs. Xiao, so your condition is for me to get the indwelling contract?â
âYes, thereâs also⦠something else I want to askâ¦â
Xiao Yuâer pursed her lips and instantly became serious.
Seeing Xiao Yuâer like this, Jiang Ming probably realized the gravity of the situation and said, âJust say it, Ms. Xiao. I can handle it.â
âI accidentally locked that bracelet. I had to use Madam Zhenguoâs gold bracelet to open it. However, Madam Zhenguoâs gold bracelet is very expensive.â
Xiao Yuâer told Jiang Ming about the origin and story of the gold bracelet and showed him a portrait of Liuâer Yuanyuan.
âLeave it to me.â
Jiang Ming agreed directly and went out, but he accidentally bumped into Liuâer Yuanyuan.
He followed her and waited until Liuâer Yuanyuan entered a room. He created a small hole in the door and looked inside.
âNing Caichenâ¦â
Liang Sisi came over and called out softly.
âShh, someone is saying something.â
Jiang Ming looked at Liang Sisi, signaling for her to be quiet.
Liang Sisi immediately covered her mouth and nodded.
Seeing that Liang Sisi had quieted down, Jiang Ming continued to look through the hole in the door.
