But she obviously misjudged Chu Qi.
He never makes excuses for people he doesn't like.
"Dashang is indeed a country of etiquette, but you are barbarians. Naturally, we don't have to be polite to people who don't understand etiquette. Butler Chen, send these people out."
"Yes." Butler Chen was stunned and stepped forward to make a gesture of invitation to Manli, "Please, Princess of Southern Xinjiang."
Manli's expression changed again and again. The nobility and elegance she had maintained just now had completely disappeared. She looked at Chu Qi with an ugly expression, "Are you really going to do it so brilliantly?"
Chu Qi glanced at her lightly, "I didn't kill everyone that day, which was the greatest mercy. Princess Manli, please don't risk Southern Xinjiang."
The blood on Manli's face faded completely, and she looked at him in horror.
Nowadays, after a year of fierce fighting, Southern Xinjiang is devastated and in ruins. It is no longer able to resist the cavalry of the great merchants.
If we fight again, you can imagine what the consequences will be.
And this is why she worked so hard to stay in Dashang.
Today's southern Xinjiang is no longer the same as before. She doesn't know how long it will take to recover. She doesn't want to go back at all.
But now, her only hope will be shattered.
A fire of hatred suddenly arose in her heart.
When she turned around and followed Butler Chen, her eyes suddenly fell on Ji'er sitting next to Chu Qi.
The child is really beautiful, especially the bright red between the eyebrows, which makes the beautiful little face even more beautiful. The skin is as fair as the finest mutton-fat white jade, and the beautiful black eyes are like stars, shining brightly.
She had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Even though there was another identical child sitting on the other side of Chuqi, it didn't have as big an impact on her as this child.
When she saw Chu Qi looking at the child, her eyebrows instantly becoming gentle, she vaguely understood something.
She suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Qi mockingly, "It turns out that General Chu Qi is not close to women because he has always had a crush on him. But General Chu Qi's thoughts are too dirty to treat such a young girl. The child has dirty thoughts."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
Chuqi's pupils shrank, and murderous intent flashed through him.
Jill didn't understand the meaning of Princess Manli's words, but she saw clearly the hostile look in her eyes when she looked at him.
While she was thinking, suddenly, her vision dimmed. She was held in Chu Qi's arms, and her ears were covered by his hands. She heard a faint cry, and then she calmed down.
The whole garden was quiet, as if everyone had left.
Jill felt a little uneasy, holding Xiao Qi's skirt tightly with her little hands.
Chu Qi sat on the seat with a solemn expression, holding Ji'er tightly with one hand, and the murderous intent in his eyebrows was still strong.
I saw that Manli, who was still alive just now, had fallen to the ground silently, her body covered with blood.
Several envoys from southern Xinjiang who came with them were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, looking at the cold-eyed man at the table in horror.
Several personal guards appeared quietly, dragged the general out, and cleaned up Manli's body.
The whole garden was still silent. Long Xuan held his wife and children in his arms, and Chuyi also held Baoyu's head in his arms. Long Yin immediately hugged Yaoyao, while Zhao Qian stood in front of the two young masters.
After a long time, when the garden returned to its original state, everyone let go of the people they wanted to protect.
When Chu Qi let go of Ji'er, her complexion returned to normal.
Jill looked at him blankly, "What happened just now?" As she said that, she looked around and saw that Princess Manli was gone. She was a little surprised, "Where is Princess Manli?"
"She's gone." Chu Qi said lightly.
