"Father, you mean … My sister …"
Jiang Pengji withdrew her gaze. She did not want to be too obvious and hurt his dignity as a man.
"It's just a grudge between the previous generation. I'll tell you in detail when everything is settled." Liu She caressed her hair and said gently, "You don't have to listen to the intrigues in the backyard. You don't want to dirty your ears and change your temperament."
"Did you agree to marry my sister to Wuma Jun to avenge my mother?"
Jiang Pengji asked. At the same time, she was deep in thought. If that was the case, there must be something special about this stepsister's identity.
"Yes, it's a very important part." Liu She's lips curled into a sinister smile. It was as if there was a cold lake deep in his eyes. "I wanted to wait a few more years, but Wuma Jun came to me on his own. He must have some ulterior motive. I'd like to see his expression when he finds out the truth. It'll be interesting. She killed Ah Min for her own ambition. She should pay the price! "
She asked, "Who killed my mother?"
Liu She did not answer her. He sighed and said, "I told you. It's a grudge between the previous generation. I don't want you to be involved. I know where your ambition lies. The world is vast, and that is your goal. I, your father, will settle the score for your mother. "
"But …"
Jiang Pengji felt that things were not that simple. Liu She was hiding an important truth.
"If you want to do something for your mother, then promise me …" As Liu She spoke, he leaned forward and whispered in her ear word by word. It was as if he was making a solemn vow. "Don't let anyone get their hands on the throne of the world! You can only win. You can't lose! "
Jiang Pengji's heart skipped a beat.
Even though Liu She had learned some things from Master Liaochen, it was the first time he told her that she had to win.
She asked in a low voice, "Will the person who killed my mother fight with me?"
Liu She couldn't give a very clear answer to this question because he didn't know the details.
The only thing he could say was —
"I don't know, but if you want to be the ruler of the world, it won't be wrong. Who cares if she will fight with you? She won't be able to beat you. Just remember today's conversation in your heart. Even if you are talking in your sleep at night, you must not leak even half a word. You must not leak anything. "
Even though Jiang Pengji didn't mind Liu She's serious advice, she had to take it seriously.
"What's more …" Liu She smiled sarcastically. "How could someone who only knows how to suck up to you compete with you? What could she rely on? Tossing and turning men's bodies, seductively asking for sex … It's the biggest joke in the world! "
A woman?
Jiang Pengji was surprised. She thought Liu She wanted to deal with a man.
Liu She obviously didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. His daughter was too cunning. The more he talked, the more information he would leak. Before the situation became clear, he didn't want to dig up the past.
Liu She wouldn't be worried if she was getting stronger.
But now, it was clear that it was still not in its infancy. It still needed to recuperate and accumulate its foundation.
Liu She was in no hurry. He had waited for so many years, and he didn't mind waiting longer.
As long as he could see that woman's head fall to the ground before he died, everything would be worth it!
"Your sister's matter is settled then."
Liu She's voice was calm, but there was a hint of chilling pleasure in it.
Jiang Pengji was not a compassionate person. Liu She had already hinted that his sister had a special identity. If she continued to speak up for her, it would seem a little stupid. "But didn't father say that Wuma Jun and Jingxian … Could it be that he wants to enjoy the bliss of having two wives?"
Liu She said, "Let him worry about it. In any case, Wuma Jun would not let his stepsister become his concubine. It was even more impossible for the daughter of the Wei family's first wife to become his concubine. Naturally, Wuma Jun had to cancel the marriage. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave Hejian County alive. "
On one hand, he promised Liu She to marry his daughter, but on the other, he wanted to take Wei Jingxian's engagement. Wasn't he courting death?
"But … Father, Jingxian and I have broken off our engagement. The Wei family is interested in marrying Wuma Jun. Although they didn't say it officially, some well-informed people know about it. Now that Wuma Jun has changed his mind … Doesn't the Wei Residence have any objections? "
Liu She was a little surprised. He did not expect his daughter, who had been so insensitive before, to think about this.
"Don't worry. It's just gossip. The Wei Residence did not admit it. They just need to say that others guessed wrongly." Liu She smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that there was another person at the gathering other than Wuma Jun, who was of equal status and had a brighter future?"
"You mean … Feng Jin?" Jiang Pengji thought of her good friend.
"Feng Jin is the second son of the Feng family. His father is the head of the Imperial Secretariat, Feng Ren. He comes from a noble family. Isn't he better than a prince who is not favored and feared by the government? It is said that the daughter of the Wei family should be married to someone of high status. The daughter of the Wei family is barely a match for him. "
Jiang Pengji did not expect such a plot twist. "Will it … work?"
"It's in the bag," Liu She said calmly. "Marriage is about matching two surnames. If it is fated, it will happen naturally."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
"But you are on good terms with Feng Jin. If he really marries the daughter of the Wei family, it may affect the relationship between you two. "
No matter how they broke off the engagement, Wei Jingxian would always be labeled as "Liu Xi's ex-fiancée."
Feng Jin knew that their relationship was pure, but a man's mentality would always be a little stiff.
Especially when Feng Jin and Liu Xi had more contact in the future. They would visit each other and Liu Xi would see the married Wei Jingxian.
He was afraid that … Feng Jin would think too much.
Jiang Pengji only wanted to touch her forehead and say, "How overthinking!"
This was not the era where everyone was gay. Seeing two people of the same sex getting along well, one could speculate that they were in an impure relationship.
Liu She did not know that Feng Jin had long known that Jiang Pengji was a girl.
Anyone who married Wei Jingxian would feel disgusted, but Feng Jin would not.
Jiang Pengji said with certainty, "That won't happen. Huaiyu is not an ordinary man."
She was not worried that Feng Jin would feel disgusted, but she was worried that Wei Jingxian would.
If the two of them were fated to be husband and wife, she would have to keep a distance from Feng Jin. She could not cause a family conflict, could she?
But for now, she did not have to worry too much. Nothing was set in stone yet.
Liu She praised, "Feng Huaiyu is indeed not simple."
It was a pity that the son of the Feng family was destined to not be on the same path as his daughter.
