Chapter 218 What, the prince likes me
Shi Liu stood at the back, listening to the conversation in front of her anxiously. Seeing Murong Xue talking more and more, she was afraid that she would ruin the task assigned by her master. So, she hurriedly walked forward, quickly filled a cup of hot tea for Murong Xue, and carefully handed it to Murong Xue, saying softly: "Miss, please drink some tea to moisten your throat first, and don't say anything more."
Shi Liu knew very well that if Murong Xue's talkativeness affected the master's plan, then they, the secret guards, would definitely not have a good ending. Thinking of this, she became more and more uneasy.
At this moment, Jiang Li, who had been sitting and listening quietly, stood up suddenly as if she was frightened. Her face was full of disbelief, and she kept muttering: "What? You mean the prince likes me? How is this possible? Absolutely impossible, impossible!" Obviously, this news was too unexpected and shocking for Jiang Li, so that she could not accept such a fact at all.
Originally, Jiang Li had completely let go of her feelings for the Third Prince, and had never thought that she would have any involvement with the royal family again. However, now that Murong Xue had said such shocking words, she was really caught off guard and terrified.
Seeing Jiang Li in such a panic, Murong Xue couldn't help but feel worried. And Shi Liu, who was standing behind Murong Xue, was even more worried, her heart in her throat.
"Miss, please don't have any more wild thoughts! The prince has specially arranged people to protect you. This is naturally the result of the prince's own careful consideration and wise decision. As for other things, please don't be so anxious." Shi Liu whispered to comfort Murong Xue, and at this moment, Murong Xue suddenly realized - it turned out that Shi Liu was also arranged by the Ninth Prince!
Thinking back to what happened before, first the mysterious guards beside Jiang Li, and then the guards who secretly followed Jiang Xing all the way to Jiangnan... The Ninth Prince seemed to have laid a tight defense like a dragnet, and included everyone in the Jiang family under his protection. Not only that, even the people far away in the Xie family, I'm afraid there are secret guards planted by the Ninth Prince to protect their safety at all times.
Thinking of this, Murong Xue couldn't help but be shocked: The Ninth Prince's scheming and detailed planning were really shocking! Could it be that the Ninth Prince had already arranged the bright futures of the Jiang family's sons in advance? However, Murong Xue knew that she had no right to interfere or comment on all of this. After all, with her current status and position, how could she easily comment on the Ninth Prince's decision?
However, Murong Xue also began to wonder: Could it be that a wise and intelligent person like Master Jiang really didn't know anything about this? Obviously, it was unlikely! How could a family like the Jiang family, which was full of wisdom and insight, not be aware of the Ninth Prince's careful planning? Perhaps, they actually knew it for a long time, but chose to accept and acquiesce to this arrangement silently!
Murong Xue sighed helplessly, her eyes slowly shifted to the confused Jiang Li in front of her, and she secretly sighed in her heart: Alas, it really is true that the old saying "fools have good fortune" is true! Look at this simple and innocent Jiang Li, although he was involved in such a complicated situation, he was still able to stay safe and sound, enjoying the careful care and care of others.
Jiang Li sat at the table, chopsticks in hand, but her mind had already drifted away. This meal tasted like chewing wax to her, and every bite of food seemed to be forced into her mouth and difficult to swallow. Her eyes wandered, sometimes staring at the food in the bowl in a daze, and sometimes looking out the window, looking absent-minded.
On the other hand, seeing Jiang Li leaving in such a state of despair, Murong Xue couldn't help but feel a little worried. She secretly regretted that she shouldn't have said too much just now, and that those words made Li Er so uneasy. She knew very well that the Ninth Prince had a fickle temper. If he knew that this matter was related to her, she was afraid that her future life would not be easy. Thinking of this, Murong Xue couldn't help but sigh softly: "Alas, I just hope that Li Er can figure it out as soon as possible and stop worrying about this matter..."
"Sister Mu, I'm really fine!" Jiang Li said as he followed Murong Xue closely out of the private room. At this moment, her mind was full of worries, so she didn't pay attention to the people around her when she walked.
Suddenly, before Jiang Li knew it, a waiter appeared opposite her. He was holding a tray with both hands steady, and on the tray was a bowl of steaming soup. Jiang Li was about to reach the corner, but she was not aware of the impending danger and continued to walk forward. She was not careful and her steps were not stopped. She was about to collide with the oncoming waiter. At this moment, Jiang Li was completely stunned, her mind was blank, and she had no idea how to deal with the situation.
In a flash, Shi Liu, who was standing by, rushed forward and quickly stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Li to her side. Thanks to Shi Liu's quick reaction, Jiang Li successfully avoided a direct collision with the waiter. However, the frightened waiter couldn't help but tremble, and the soup bowl in his hand almost slipped out of his hand. Although the waiter managed to stabilize his body in the end, some of the hot soup in the bowl inevitably spilled and splashed on the ground. What's worse, Jiang Li's shoes and skirt were not spared, and were stained with a lot of soup, looking a little embarrassed.
The waiter was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled. He knew very well that he was just a small waiter, how could he dare to offend these delicate young ladies from official families! If he angered them, he might lose his hard-earned job.
"Sir, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault. I deserve the punishment!" The waiter bowed and apologized hurriedly, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
