Shortly after, he spoke in a low voice, “Grandmother, if you have any dissatisfaction, just scold me, your grandson. But my mother has respected you for many years. You cannot grind her down without reason.”

“I am my mother’s child. If you are dissatisfied with her, take it out on me.”

“Jun Er, please get up.”

Madam Cao, watching this scene, cried and reached out to pull up Cao Jun.

“Good, very good… foolish people, this is the good son you have raised.”

Old Madam Cao was so angry that her eyes were filled with blaze. Turning her head, she saw a teacup and grabbed it to throw at Madam Cao.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes were filled with coldness. Lifting her leg, she kicked the teacup aside.

The cup instantly shattered into pieces.

And Madam Cao, looking at the broken cup, was filled with horror.

“Old Madam Cao, do you realize that if this cup had hit Madam Cao, she would have certainly been seriously injured today?”

Old Madam Cao, was caught in the heat of the moment, regretted throwing the cup as soon as it left her hand.

Seeing that the cup did not hit Madam Cao, she breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, her anger deepened, “You uneducated girl, how dare you speak when your elders are talking?”

“If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan didn’t want to say anything else and simply spoke.

As her voice fell, Jiang Peihuan left immediately.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruyun bowed to Madam Cao and followed Jiang Peihuan.

But Jiang Peihuan thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Ruyun, “Regardless, Madam Cao has been good to you. She was just frightened, so you stay and take care of her.”

“When you find Madam Cao is alright later, then you can go back to the mansion.”

“Yes, Elder Sister.”

Jiang Ruyun was also somewhat worried about Cao Jun, so after hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, she stayed.

Then, Jiang Peihuan left the Cao Mansion alone.

Jiang Peihuan left the carriage for Jiang Ruyun and prepared to ride a horse back to the General’s Mansion.

But as she turned the corner, a fragrance came rushing towards her.

Although Jiang Peihuan held her breath subconsciously, some of it entered her lungs, and suddenly she felt darkness before her eyes.

When Jiang Peihuan woke up, her wrists were in pain, and she saw that her wrists and ankles were tied up.

The room was pitch black, and Jiang Peihuan knew it was already night because she saw someone standing by the window, but outside it was dark.

Jiang Peihuan had just moved when a man’s voice came, “You’re awake.”

Hearing this voice, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

The man by the window turned around, and in the darkness, Jiang Peihuan saw his face. It was Xiao Junhao.

Xiao Junhao slowly walked over to Jiang Peihuan.

“Prince Qing, I wonder why you had people kidnap me and bring me here?”

“Don’t you know why I’m looking for you? Jiang Peihuan.”

Before Jiang Peihuan could say anything, Xiao Junhao continued, “Why are you treating me this way?”

Hearing Xiao Junhao’s words, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes were full of complexity, her heart full of hatred, but her face showed none, “I don’t know what Prince Qing means?”

“Jiang Peihuan, don’t play dumb with me.”

Xiao Junhao reached out and grabbed Jiang Peihuan’s shoulder, looking directly into her eyes, “The incident of the Golden Dragon head was orchestrated by Xiao Nanye. You can’t say it wasn’t because of you. Jiang Peihuan, we were together for a while, don’t you have any old feelings for me? Our relationship was good back then, why are you so heartless? Do you really have no feelings for me at all? You…”

“Feelings? Haha…”

Before Xiao Junhao could finish speaking, Jiang Peihuan burst into laughter, as if she had just heard an amusing joke.

Although Jiang Peihuan’s face was filled with smiles, there was no hint of amusement in her eyes. Instead, it was filled with mockery. She looked at Xiao Junhao, her eyes full of mockery as she spoke, “Xiao Junhao, when you were with me, was it really because of love? Or was it because you wanted to use me?”

Hearing this, Xiao Junhao’s face changed.

He suddenly looked at Jiang Peihuan with gentle eyes, “1 admit I was using you before, but if you are willing, I can treat you well in the future, you…”

“I’m not willing.”

Jiang Peihuan interrupted him before he could finish.

Looking at the man before her, she said directly, “Even though I don’t know what you’re plotting, I won’t have anything to do with you anymore.”

“Fine, since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Xiao Junhao’s eyes turned dark and sinister. He stood up and slowly walked towards the door, “Originally, 1 was planning to spare your life, but now, there’s no need.”

With that, he left the room.

Watching his retreating figure, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

She tried to move her wrists, but no matter how she tried, she couldn’t break free.

Moreover, the ring on her index finger had been taken away, leaving her no means to cut the ropes.

Suddenly, a banging sound came from outside.

Jiang Peihuan looked up and saw shadows on the windows. Xiao Junhao was having the doors and windows sealed.

Confusion filled her eyes, but soon she realized what was happening when she smelled the thick smoke.

Xiao Junhao was planning to burn her alive.

Soon, flames were reflected in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

Outside the door, Xiao Junhao stood, watching the flames rise, his eyes showing mixed emotions.

The fire grew larger, Jiang Peihuan struggled in vain.

Suddenly, she saw a vase on the table. With an idea, she slammed into the table, smashing the vase to the ground.

With great effort, she grabbed a shard.

Then, she began to cut the ropes on her hands.

As Jiang Peihuan cut the ropes, the door was kicked open.

The person who entered saw her cutting the ropes, eyes filled with worry, but still grabbed her hand.

Under the illumination of the fire, Jiang Peihuan saw Xiao Junhao’s face.

Her eyes were full of confusion.

“Go!”

As he spoke, Xiao Junhao dragged Jiang Peihuan out. The flames grew so intense that it was almost impossible to open one’s eyes.

Jiang Peihuan forcefully shook off the hand holding her, drew the whip from her waist, and with a flick of her wrist, struck Xiao Junhao’s arm.

“Are you insane?”

Holding his arm, Xiao Junhao looked at Jiang Peihuan with furious eyes.

At that moment, Xiao Junhao’s eyes were filled with pain. He should have just burned Jiang Peihuan to death, but in that split second, when he saw the flames rising, he had impulsively rushed inside..
