"Revenge?"
Deep within the girl's eyes, a hint of hatred also surfaced, but her slightly timid nature prevented her from showing it.
Qin Jiang smiled slightly and said softly:
"If you want revenge, I can help you."
Hearing this, the girl raised her head, her face slightly hesitant, and she said uncertainly:
"But, Ninth Prince is the Divine Dragon Emperor's most beloved prince..."
"So what?"
Qin Jiang's tone was disdainful:
"Let alone just a prince, even if it were the Divine Dragon Emperor himself, if I wanted to touch him, he could only take it!"
Saying this, Qin Jiang pointed to the sky, where the massive airship could be seen from anywhere:
"You know about what happened yesterday, right?"
The girl nodded.
With such a huge commotion, the entire Imperial City naturally knew about it.
However, most ordinary people, under the imperial might, didn't even have the courage to look up, so they didn't see Qin Jiang's face.
"The person who caused trouble in the Imperial City yesterday was me."
Qin Jiang chuckled.
The girl's small mouth slightly opened. Only then did she realize that Ninth Prince called Qin Jiang his third brother-in-law, and the person who caused trouble in the Imperial City yesterday was precisely the husband brought back by Third Princess.
"You...
You really want to help me?"
A hint of expectation appeared in the girl's beautiful eyes.
Qin Jiang smiled and nodded:
"However, there's no free lunch in the world. I can help you, but similarly, you also need to pay some price."
"Ah?"
The girl was stunned, then said with disappointment:
"But I have nothing left."
"No!"
Qin Jiang looked at the girl, took a step forward, almost pressing against her, leaned down slightly, and said softly:
"Your greatest capital is your body."
As his words fell, the girl's pretty face instantly turned red, and her delicate body stiffened in place.
She looked completely flustered.
Qin Jiang was almost pressed against her, and the warmth emanating from him made her heart pound. She leaned back slightly, looking at Qin Jiang's handsome face, and her fair neck couldn't help but swallow.
So handsome!
"Alright, stay by my side for now. Whenever you've thought about it, you can come find me anytime."
Qin Jiang stepped back and said with a smile.
The girl nodded with a red face, her small hands clasped together, easing her inner nervousness.
Just then, Qin Jiang directly reached out and grabbed one of her small hands. He clearly felt the girl's small hand tighten for a moment, but it quickly relaxed.
"Come with me?"
"Mm~"
Held by Qin Jiang's hand, the girl followed closely with her head lowered. Suddenly, she looked up and spoke on her own initiative:
"My name is Xia Qianling. You can call me Qianling."
"Qianling?"
Qin Jiang nodded:
"It's a very nice name."
In the plot, he had already known this name.
Hearing Qin Jiang's praise, Xia Qianling's small face lit up with joy and she said:
"My mother gave me this name. Father said Mother was from a good family and was very cultured.
However, Mother passed away not long after giving birth to me due to poor health."
Xia Qianling's tone was low. Now, in this world, she had no relatives left.
Qin Jiang squeezed her small hand and comforted her:
"You are the continuation of their lives. As long as you are alive, as long as you remember them, they haven't completely perished. Moreover, they surely hope that you can live a better life."
"I will always remember them!"
Xia Qianling nodded seriously.
At the same time, she also expressed agreement with Qin Jiang's words.
Just then, Qin Jiang's other hand was actively grasped by a soft, warm small hand. Qin Jiang turned his head to look and saw Liu Shuwan looking at him with a resentful gaze.
Seeing her like this, Qin Jiang couldn't help but smile. He gently squeezed her small hand and actively held her back.
One on each side.
Perfect.
However, Xiao Xiao Lianer could only follow behind alone.
They continued to stroll around the Imperial City, bought Xia Qianling a few new outfits and some accessories, and then returned to the Dragon Princess Residence.
"Change into a different outfit."
Qin Jiang looked at Xia Qianling and said.
Because she had just lost her father, the clothes Qin Jiang bought were relatively plain. Of course, this type of clothing was also very suitable for Xia Qianling.
He prepared a room for Xia Qianling, then instructed a maid to prepare a tub of hot water:
"Wash up first, then change clothes."
"Oh~"
Xia Qianling nodded.
