Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Jiang Li agreed after thinking for a moment. He felt that He Yunjing was not someone who would lie to him, and that the risk of him doing so was indeed very high.

He wanted the throne and wanted to take revenge on everyone, but now he wanted to do something more important. He had to get the throne, and it had to be for a long time.

After Jiang Li agreed, she waited for He Yunjing to speak, but all she got was He Yunjing's questions.

“Do you eat dumplings?”

Jiang Li frowned, "What are dumplings?"

"It's just a kind of food. Have you never eaten it?"

Jiang Li shook her head, "I've never heard of it."

That should be because dumplings haven't been born yet in this world, but it doesn't matter. He Yunjing pulled him towards the kitchen.

He Yunjing mixed flour with water to make dough, cut the meat into minced meat, asked Jiang Li to light the fire for him, and used the existing seasonings in the kitchen to make oil for the minced meat.

The oil was poured into the meat filling, and the aroma was so fragrant that Jiang Li couldn't help but want to try it, but she couldn't eat it yet.

He Yunjing also felt that there were too few ingredients in the kitchen, so for now he could only make meat-filled dishes.

After preparing the meat filling, He Yunjing started to roll out the dumpling wrappers. He moved quickly and the dumpling wrappers appeared in front of Jiang Li one by one. It felt like a magic trick, and the small dough turned into round wrappers in a few seconds.

He Yunjing stopped when he saw that it was almost done and asked him, "Do you want to try it?"

Jiang Li nodded, and under He Yunjing's guidance, she rolled out a very strange dumpling wrapper. Not only was it not round, but one side was thin and the other side was thick.

He frowned, and the difference between him and He Yunjing became apparent immediately.

He Yunjing laughed, slowed down the movements and explained it to him again, saying, "My father taught me the same thing when I was a child."

"dad?"

"It means father. In our place, parents are called mom and dad."

Jiang Li said, "Are they nice to you?"

"Ah, very good."

"Then where are they? Why aren't you with your family?" Jiang Li was curious. If He Yunjing had biological parents, why would he come here alone?

He Yunjing put down the rolling pin, picked up the dumpling wrapper with his fingers and took a look, and said calmly, "He's dead. He was killed after eating dumplings on New Year's Eve."

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat and he looked at He Yunjing in panic. He wanted to speak, but his throat was blocked by emotions and no sound came out.

He Yunjing turned around and said in a relaxed tone, "It happened a long time ago. I'm not that upset. Don't worry about it."

How could Jiang Li not care? He Yunjing said that his parents treated him very well. He Yunjing must be thinking about them. No matter how long it has been in the past, he will never forget them.

Jiang Li said with difficulty, "You don't have to say it."

If he had known it would start like this, he would not want to know at all. He was just opening up He Yunjing's old scars, which would only make He Yunjing feel painful.

He Yunjing didn't explain. He picked up the chopsticks and put the meat filling into the dumpling skin in the palm of his hand. He closed it, folded it carefully a few times, and pinched it into a crescent-shaped dumpling.

He held up the dumplings in his palm and showed them to Jiang Li, "These are dumplings. Boil some water and cook them and you can eat them."

Jiang Li stared at the dumpling with mixed feelings in her heart. After a while, she uttered, "It looks good."

"Well, I'll teach you."

He Yunjing taught him how much meat filling to put in, how to pinch it, and also taught him different techniques to put them in place one by one, neatly.

He Yunjing said, "I was supposed to have a brother or sister. I was pregnant for two months, but my parents didn't know. I didn't know either until the autopsy."

Jiang Li didn't understand some of the words, but he didn't ask any questions. His hands holding the dumplings trembled a little, and he couldn't help but use a little more force when pinching the dumplings.

He Yunjing lowered his eyes and wrapped dumplings seriously, his tone becoming calmer, "I was six years old at the time, and I can already remember things, so I remember it very clearly. They were very ordinary workers, very kind to everyone, the kind who were afraid of trouble and didn't want to offend anyone."

"Then why?" Jiang Li opened his mouth subconsciously, but quickly fell silent. He wanted to know why something happened to He Yunjing's parents.

He Yunjing replied, "Those years were quite chaotic, and there were always some hooligans gathering together to cause trouble. My dad saw them blocking a little girl on his way home from get off work, and he softened his heart. He shouted loudly and attracted the patrolling police, that is, the soldiers, to stop those people. It was considered a good deed."

Jiang Li understood that He Yunjing's parents were being retaliated against by those people.

He Yunjing continued, "My family is not well off, and we live in a remote area. It's Chinese New Year, and there are firecrackers everywhere. There are so many people coming that my cries for help can't be heard. Even if they could, no one would care about these trivial matters."

Jiang Li's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper. He felt it was very unfair. He was clearly saving someone out of kindness, but why did he not get any reward and even implicate his wife and unborn child?

He couldn't help but look at He Yunjing's expression, but found that there was no change on He Yunjing's face. He was calm as if he was telling someone else's story.

But he could also feel He Yunjing's feelings for his parents, which were suppressed, restrained, and hidden very deeply.

He Yunjing also felt Jiang Li's gaze, and he barely curled his lips, "You don't have to be like this, it happened a long time ago, and those people are dead, I killed them."

"you alone?"

"Yes, one person." He Yunjing put down the dumplings he had wrapped and said calmly, "Those people were from a gang with great power. The one who did it was a relative of the gang leader. They just found someone to convict and let it go. I was too young at that time. I didn't understand anything and couldn't do anything.

Later, I learned my lesson, accepted it, and counted the days until I grew up, thinking that I could avenge them when I grew up. But I was still quite naive, because the person blocking the way was not just one person, but a huge force, and they were also getting stronger as I grew up.

I have also thought about conspiring with others to achieve common interests, but when it comes to them, everyone will subconsciously avoid it because their power is too huge. Many times, they will agree on the surface, but stab in the back in secret, and gain benefits from them by selling information. "

Jiang Li's heart trembled again. He had experienced the feeling of being isolated and helpless. Everyone around him was malicious towards him. He couldn't get close to anyone, nor could he trust anyone.

He Yunjing lowered his eyelashes to hide the undercurrent in his eyes, and continued in a calm tone, "So I understand one thing, any resistance in the face of absolute strength is futile, if you want revenge you must lie dormant, you can't take action before you become strong, once you make a mistake you will never have another chance.

Moreover, revenge does not mean dying together, but living well by stepping on the corpses of enemies, and living well so that the deceased relatives can rest in peace.

So I always have a lot of concerns and think about whether there are risks in doing this. I can't make mistakes. Sometimes a small wrong step may lead to eternal damnation. I can't have good luck every time, so I can only be cautious and minimize potential risks to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "
