Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 132 Part 2: Truth

Because the shock he received was too great, although there was no expression on his face, he immediately disappeared with a wooden face from the window.

Jiang Li closed the window and returned to the couch while thinking about Zhao Ke’s words. The things happening in that year were so difficult to unearth, it seemed to prove that Ji Shuran did many things in secret.

Although she was not the real second miss of the Jiang family she could relive her life because of her. To some degree, she could comprehend Jiang second miss’s feelings of being helpless. But now, maybe the only thing she could do for second miss Jiang was to help her find the truth and not bear the charges that did not belong to her.

On the other side, inside the Duke’s residence, upon hearing news from Zhao Ke, Lu Ji was unable to sit still.

“She, she, she…..” Presumably, the green dressed scholar who had never shown his emotions was unable to keep his easy and calm attitude at this moment. He said hurriedly, “How can she be so brazen?” freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Not just brazen, she simply did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. See, how could she talk like this, not just asking an expert from the duke’s mansion to work for her, she even dared to order Ji Heng. Has this girl grown up eating bears’ hearts and leopards’ bladders? Whether or not she knows how to write the two words “be afraid”.

Yet, Ji Heng did not seem to take this matter seriously. He merely said, “Ask about Ji Shuran’s miscarriage?”

“Yes.” Wen Ji replied, “Zhao Ke said, second miss Jiang asked this.”

“She wants Zhao Ke to do three things, the first two can still be thought of why, but the third thing, asking for a ventriloquist….. What is the meaning behind this?” Lu Ji shook his head, “Does she want to perform a trick?”

“There are many in the residence. Lu Ji, look for one.” Ji Heng said.

Lu Ji complied while feeling puzzled. Whatever Jiang Li wanted to do, Ji Heng always granted whatever she asked. At the beginning, Ji Heng did not even care about Jiang Li’s death. Lu Ji suspected there was a secret between the two of them. Of course he would not try to find out, but Miss Jiang second could be considered powerful to be able to change Ji Heng so much like this.

“Recently, second miss Jiang seems to be investigating Ji-shi.” Lu Ji said, “Perhaps she wants to start dealing with Ji-shi? Ji-shi has the Ji family behind her, and there is still a Li-pin in the Ji family, if second miss Jiang dealt with Ji-shi, that means she would be dealing with Li-pin. At present, Yongning also hates second miss Jiang very much, if Yongning joined hands with Li-pin, second miss Jiang’s days will not pass well.” Lu Ji shook his head, “She has always been smart, why is she doing such a thing in this crucial moment?”

“She has been holding it in for so long.” Ji Heng said: “Now, she could no longer bear it. But it’s also good, the enemy could not be defeated by forbearance. It’s more refreshing, her being this way. ”

“Jiang Yuan Bai is acute in politics, but on family matters, he is not as good as this daughter.” Lu Ji sighed, “This time, there is something to watch.”

Ji Heng stared at the flickering flame of the candle on the table. He was smiling, but his gaze was deep.

There was something to watch indeed, and he also began to be curious.

……

During winter in Yanjing, the sun was always very precious. The sun came up yesterday, today’s weather seemed to want to take away yesterday’s good weather. Since morning, cold wind blew, mixed with the rain and snow, blasting through the flower beds, causing many sprigs to break off, unable to bear the weight.

Ming Yue and Qing Feng, wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, were in the garden, helping to sweep the broken sprigs. Jiang Li was looking out the window when Tong’er said, “Miss, the wind and snow is very strong today, it’s better not to go to the Ye residence, okay?”

Such a big snowstorm, except for the common people who had to work, as long as there was some wealth in the family, they would not leave the house. It was truly too cold. The charcoal burned prosperously in the room, and a hand stove was still held in Jiang Li’s hands. Even so, she could still feel the whooshing coldness standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

“Have to go.” Jiang Li looked at the sky, “It’s really inconvenient going out right now, wait for the snow to let up in the afternoon before we go.”

Tong’er lowered her head in resignation. Jiang Li’s answer was within her expectations. For Xue Huaiyuan, regardless of the wind or rain, Jiang Li had to go to visit. Sometimes she really did not understand, even if her young lady was kind-hearted, and County Deputy Xue had someone taking care of him over there, why was she so persistent and unable to let go?

As she was thinking, Bai Xue walked in from outside and said, “Miss, Aunt Hu is here.”

“Aunt Hu?” Tong’er was stunned.

Jiang Li didn’t look very surprised, and smiled slightly: “It’s much faster than I thought, Tong’er, go pour tea, Bai Xue, please invite Aunt Hu inside.”

When Aunt Hu came, she was still followed by the same maid from before. She seemed to have only this one maid. After all, although she was an aunt, when chatting, almost no one in the house remembered her, her title of aunt was only on the surface.

Aunt Hu and her servant girl entered Jiang Li’s room together.

The inside and outside of the house seemed to be two different worlds. Aunt Hu and her servant girl probably had not felt such warmth in a long time. Jiang Li clearly saw the maid involuntarily drew nearer the charcoal fire a little, greedily absorbing a little warmth from the house.

Jiang Li sighed in her heart, in the cold winter month, the master and servant were just wearing very thin cotton-padded clothes. It was hard to imagine in such a big family house where even a servant had winter clothes, these two people lived their lives miserably instead. Although old madam Jiang intended to help Aunt Hu, the housekeeper’s power was in Ji Shuran’s hand and it was impossible for old madam Jiang to take care of minor details. And so, the master and servant fell into these circumstances. Jiang Li did not believe that this happened without Ji Shuran’s acquiescence.

“It’s cold outside, drink some hot tea, Aunt Hu.” Jiang Li held a teacup and pushed it a bit to Aunt Hu.

Aunt Hu took the teacup, took a sip, only then did she look a bit warm, with her pale face showing a bit of color. She said, “Second miss, this concubine came today to reply the question second miss asked the other day.”
