Jiang Li's question could be said to be very offensive, but she still had a smile on her face and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her words.

Yue Mingcheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, looking at Jiang Li like a knife.

Jiang Li did not dodge, still looking at him calmly, waiting for his answer.

Yue Mingcheng's face turned ugly for a moment, but then he calmed down, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course it does." Jiang Li said with a smile, "Because it is related to what I am going to tell you next about my purpose of coming."

Yue Mingcheng's face was solemn and he still didn't speak.

Jiang Li was not in a hurry and simply continued speaking slowly.

"Uncle Yue never married, but I heard that you had a fiancée when you were young, right?"

This sentence obviously really touched Yue Mingcheng's nerves. He suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "Jiang Li!"

"I thought that you are Brother Jiang's flesh and blood, and I will not care about you for a few days. Now, get out of Yue Mansion and don't let me see you again!"

Yue Mingcheng's rage did not make Jiang Li feel any fear or regret. She sat there motionless, even with a smile on her face.

"So excited. It seems that Miss Guo back then is still a nemesis that Uncle Yue cannot touch even now."

Miss Guo.

Even just hearing this last name, Yue Mingcheng felt his heart suddenly shrink, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe for a moment.

He stared at Jiang Li, his eyes changing from anger to deeper hatred.

"Are you investigating me?"

Jiang Li stabbed someone in the heart without feeling any guilt at all. He just nodded calmly.

"After all, I'm not someone everyone loves. I'm really not sure that I can get you to reveal your heart to me the first time I meet you."

"Then in order to know you better, I naturally have to investigate."

Yue Mingcheng's face turned ugly, "No matter what your purpose is, I will never agree to it. You can leave!"

It can be said that he did not pick up the teacup and throw it directly into Jiang Li's face, which was his best self-control.

Of course Jiang Li couldn't leave, she just said slowly: "I am trapped in a city for one person."

"You only want to fulfill her vision and protect the people of Ningcheng."

"But why have you never thought of avenging her?"

"Yue Mingcheng, do you dare not, or are you incompetent?"

Jiang Li's words became more and more cruel, Yue Mingcheng's eyes turned red, and finally he couldn't help but violently swept the teacup to the ground.

"What do you know?"

He said angrily: "You are a yellow-haired girl, you don't understand anything at all!"

Jiang Li sneered, "Ha", "What you want to say is nothing more than taking the overall situation into consideration."

"Because your enemy is the current Holy Emperor, you want to say that you cannot shake the country of Qing for your own selfish hatred and allow foreign enemies to take advantage of it, right?"

Yue Mingcheng instantly felt like his chest was clogged. Jiang Li was right, but judging from her attitude, he knew she had nothing good to say next.

Sure enough, Jiang Li laughed directly the next moment, it was a joke.

"Stop making excuses for your own incompetence. You are just covering up your own incompetence and cowardice in the name of grandeur."

"The emperor will always sit on the throne, and today's Holy Emperor has even appointed the prince early. Even if he dies, the prince will naturally succeed to the throne. What's so unsettling about it?"

"What's more, ask yourself, how well does the Holy One govern the world today?"

"He played political tricks and harmed loyal people. The people here are living a good life, just because he continued the management policies of the previous emperor. And what contribution has he made to the world?"

"Yue Mingcheng, you just think revenge is too difficult, and you don't have the slightest confidence in yourself, and you are even more afraid of harming your own people. You are just timid. Why bother with those high-sounding banners?"

Jiang Li's words completely destroyed Yue Mingcheng's psychological defense, pulling out the side of his heart that he was least willing to face, forcing him to face it!

Yes, he always knew, he just didn't dare.

For so many years, he has been trying to numb himself with high-sounding excuses.

Because he didn't dare to avenge her, he used her past wish as an excuse to stick to a city and didn't even dare to step into the capital.

He...has always been a coward!

"Yes... everything you said is right, but so what?"

"Jiang Li, are you here today just to humiliate me?"

"Then I admit it now. I am cowardly, incompetent, and afraid of implicating my tribe!"

"But what's my fault? He is the emperor, who in this world can judge his faults?"

"Are you still going to force me to rebel?"

Jiang Li let him vent for a long time, and then finally said leisurely, "Of course not."

She said, "What happened to the emperor? Doesn't the emperor never make mistakes?"

"Back then, the partisan dispute between the emperor and the late prince brought disaster to the Guo family, and the entire Guo family died tragically."

"Although there is no evidence, you and I both know that the Guo family was framed, right?"

"Although there is no right or wrong in winning and losing, but how innocent is Miss Guo? Why can't you hate her and come back with revenge?"

"Yue Mingcheng, even the emperor is not without weaknesses and invincible."

"As long as you have enough power, even the emperor... can be forced to bow to you, or even expose your crimes to the world!"

“Only if you dare to think and do, will you have hope.”

"Yue Mingcheng, you are not young anymore, and you may not have a few more years to live in this life... Are you really willing to end your life just like this with the guilt and regret for Miss Guo?"

Yue Mingcheng knew clearly that Jiang Li had a purpose, but she spoke to his heart every word, making him know that there was a trap ahead, but he still couldn't help but want to walk over and take a look.

So after struggling for a while, he finally couldn't resist the temptation and asked Jiang Li, "...what do you mean?"

This sentence alone means that Yue Mingcheng has lost.

Jiang Li knew that it was very unethical for him to poke someone's wounds and accuse him from above.

But she really didn't have any more time to stay here and figure it out with Yue Mingcheng.

She only had a few hours tonight, and she couldn't persuade a stubborn man like Yue Mingcheng, who would never marry a woman and never leave a city in his life, without using strong medicine.

So even though she knew that such behavior seemed despicable, she could only do it.

It wasn't until Yue Mingcheng was finally shaken that Jiang Li could finally be gentler to him.

She lowered her tone and said slowly with a smile on her lips, "Uncle Yue, in these last moments... do you want to take a gamble?"
