Arc 1: Escaped Woman x Escaped from Marriage – 08

Deliberately Seduce Her

When Shi Jian decided to part with Ke Li, her heart was much more comfortable, and her lips were unconsciously bent.

　　As she walked all the way to the front hall, she saw the Marshal and a jade man circling about. Jiang Guo Shizi’s son was dressed in a gorgeous, modest and courteous manner, but his eyes imperceptibly showed impatience. 

　　How can such a person be worthy of Ke Li when their heart and mouth differs?1 Heart and mouth differ – idiom for keeping one’s real intentions to oneself; saying one thing but meaning something else Moreover, he is only a son of Jiang Guo Shizi.

　　Shi Jian frowned, she completely forgot about Ke Li’s deception. She ceremoniously greeted them and stood there, listening to them.

　　”Isn’t it inappropriate to conclude that I kidnapped your fiancée without any evidence?” The Marshal’s tone didn’t budge.

　　”If not, would she have come here herself?” Jiang Chi’s face looked normal, “I’ve come to pick up my newly married wife this visit. But Marshal doesn’t give face, isn’t it the same as not giving face to Jiang?”

　　This is a serious statement. The Marshal and Jiang Chi spent half a day arguing about it. He couldn’t tolerate him falsely accusing others. But with the thought of forging good relations between the two countries, he treated him with courtesy and solemnly said, “Child be careful!”

　　”It’s rude.” Jiang Chi apologized, but the tone and demeanor weren’t good. On the contrary, there was a sense of arrogance. 

　　Basically, Shi Jian sees the person’s virtues and was very glad that Ke Li had escaped from marriage. She said coldly, “Shizi’s son is worrying too much. Sister Qu is not married to you now and you have no right to care where she is. Besides, I have a good relationship with Sister Qu. Our family will protect her thoroughly and spare no effort in the world.”

　　Jiang Chi wanted to directly refute her statement but saw a beautiful woman. From the bottom of his heart, he had tender feelings for the fairer sex, he smiled and warmly said, “What Miss Shi said, it’s not right. If you think about it, I have a marriage contract to Ke Si Qu since I was a child. Sooner or later, she will become Jiang Chi’s wife. Logically, I have a reason to protect her.”

　　Shi Jian didn’t take it seriously, “Marriage matters, she herself needs to agree to it. If she had personally admitted that it was okay, but she didn’t. Shizi’s son is unreasonable and looking for trouble for no reason and not afraid of losing face for your country.”

　　Jiang Chi examined Shi Jian carefully again.

　　Originally, he lost face because of Ke Si Qu’s escape from marriage. He couldn’t even raise his head in public. He wanted to find trouble with Ke Si Qu’s family, but her family status was unshakeable. 

　　Besides, he really likes Ke Si Qu, who was a first-class beauty.

　　Therefore, he asked for her whereabouts and earlier found out that she was in Yeguo. In order to show his hard work, he promised to bring her back in front of the Ke father and mother. 

　　There was a flicker in his eyes, and he said, “She will recognize our marriage which is a family affair. Don’t you bother with this, please invite her out, otherwise…Don’t be rude.”

　　At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the door, “Joke, I’m a guest at Sister Shi Jian’s house and being controlled by an outsider? What about the marriage contract since I was a child? As long as there is no marriage, you can retire, even if we were married, you can stay away!”
