Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 102.2

Based on Ji Heng’s ability, it’s not difficult to arrange for a person to stare at her anytime and anywhere.

“I really want to know, how does Miss Jiang second know the whereabouts of Tong Zhi Yang’s outer room.” Ji Heng spoke gently and considerately, yet forceful.

“There’s no impenetrable walls on earth.” Jiang Li looked calmly at him, “Since Tong Zhi Yang has done it, he will always expose a tail. Following the tail to search for the truth is a difficult matter. I’m also very surprised to know that the duke is very meticulous towards other people’s family’s trivial matters.”

“It’s not trivial when it has something to do with you.” Ji Heng said with a smile, “what Miss Jiang second does are usually big things.” He paused for a while before continuing, “Indeed there’s no impenetrable walls in the world, the tails will always be exposed, following the tails, sooner or later, the truth will come out.” He laughed while looking at Jiang Li: “Isn’t it?”

Jiang Li nodded: “Yes.”

She understood the unspoken implication in Ji Heng’s words. There were many doubtful points about her, even if she concealed them very well, it’s hard to avoid exposing the tails. As long as these tails were grabbed, there would inevitably be a day when her secrets would be uncovered.

Perhaps Ji Heng would really be able to accomplish it, but she wasn’t afraid. She only wanted to avenge the Xue family, apart from this, she did not care about what the future held.

Ji Heng seemed to also notice her indifference and said carelessly: “Miss Jiang second is not afraid of anything, should be because you are secure in the knowledge that you have a backing. Everything is planned thoroughly. Now with Tong Zhi Yang staring, nobody will dare to move you.”

Jiang Li suddenly looked at him.

This could also be seen through by Ji Heng.

That’s right, before coming to Xiangyang, Jiang Li thought, Ji Shuran mother and daughter ate such a huge loss in the palace matter, they must doubt her after thinking about it when they returned. Even if the matter in the palace did not occur, the mother and daughter also would not tolerate her. This trip to Xiangyang happened to provide an exceptionally good opportunity for them to get rid of her.

Ji Shuran mother and daughter must certainly have asked someone to spy on her in the dark. If there’s a problem, they would kill ruthlessly. Declaring her identity at the gate of Li Zheng Tang, aside from making Tong Zhi Yang give birth to fear and be more polite to the Ye family members, it’s also to give herself a safety talisman.

With her special identity, Tong Zhi Yang definitely would order someone to watch her movements in secret. In addition, all the people in Xiangyang at the moment were aware that Tong Zhi Yang had offended Jiang Li. In case something happened to Jiang Li while she was in Xiangyang, regardless of the truth, Tong Zhi Yang would have to carry this pot. Other people would only think it was because of the feud between Jiang Li and Tong Zhi Yang, thus Tong Zhi Yang killed her secretly. Jiang Yuan Bai would not let Tong Zhi Yang go. Therefore, so as not to let him bear a bad name in vain, Tong Zhi Yang’s people would protect Jiang Li properly.

This was borrowing Tong Zhi Yang’s people and horses to handle Ji Shuran’s people. At least in where Tong Zhi Yang was located, Jiang Li would be secure.

This point was Jiang Li’s secret calculation. She did not expect to be seen by Ji Heng.

Jiang Li laughed: “Under the heavens, is there anything that the duke is not aware of?”

“There is.” Ji Heng looked at her, his gaze moving, “that is, you.”

“Me?”

“The people I’ve met in my life,” Ji Heng said: “at your age, whether it was male or female in Northern Yan, you are the first one to have such shrewd strategies.”

“Thank you very much for the duke’s praise.” Jiang Li said: “Jiang Li does not dare to take it.”

“You deserve it, I am just puzzled, since you are this witty, for eight years, how did you get driven away to Mount Qingcheng by your stepmother?” Ji Heng asked with a smile.

“The people plan things, the heavens decide things. I was just out of luck.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “Moreover, eight years ago, I was just seven years old. The duke comparing the seven years old me to the current me is really too harsh. The heavens will not continuously care for certain people, my luck was not good eight years ago, but there’s a sentence, the feng shui will change direction, and today it arrives at my place.” She smiled indifferently.

“Then I’ll wait and see.”

Jiang Li smiled and bowed her head. This time, Ji Heng could be said as returning the jade pendant to her. Jiang Li paid him a courtesy: “Today’s drama is absolutely brilliant, I should go back now. Thank you, duke, for lending your hand to save just now, Jiang Li is extremely grateful.”

“No need to thank,” Ji Heng laughed, “actually, without me, Miss Jiang second could back out, isn’t it?”

Jiang Li’s gaze was cold before she immediately followed with a smile as she said: “Still, many thanks.” She bid goodbye to Ji Heng, then turned around to leave calmly.

Until after Jiang Li’s figure disappeared outside the courtyard, Wen Ji appeared behind Ji Heng and said: “Master, the people from Jin Man Tang…..”

“Don’t let people die.” Ji Heng shook his fan and said: “After the interrogation is done, send them back to their master.”

Wen Ji responded and again asked: “About Jiang second miss…..”

“Continue staring at her.” Ji Heng said: “The people from the Weaving Unit will arrive very soon. I want to see how she is going to finish singing this play.”

Wen Ji did not speak, he also wondered in his mind. He saw the scene today from beginning to end. Jiang Li, a 15 years old young lady, when confronting the assassination from Jin Man Tang, though there was a flash of panic, she calmed down within a moment, as if she completely had no lingering fear. Not just that, as a passer-by, Wen Ji also noticed that Jiang Li had repeatedly reached into her sleeve. Even at the critical moment of life and death, she did not have the thought of helplessly sitting and waiting for death. She’s used to keeping her moves until the end, preparing well, making sure that everything was surefire. Just as Ji Heng said, even if Ji Heng did not act today, Jiang Li might still be able to retreat today.

Wen Ji looked at Ji Heng, the smile on Ji Heng’s face was already put away. After Ji Heng put the smiles away, the warm and gentle tenderness could no longer be seen, what’s left was coldness and indifference, making people terrified.

But Jiang second miss was not afraid of him and still walked with him step by step, truly not simple…….

……

When Jiang Li returned to her courtyard in the Ye family residence, Tong’er and Bai Xue were startled. There were some blood splatters at the corner of her skirt, probably splashed from the assassins’ body.

“Miss, what happened? Where are you injured?” Tong’er went around worriedly to check Jiang Li’s condition.

“Not my blood.” Jiang Li comforted her, “I’ll go and change, don’t speak of it to other people.”

Tong’er and Bai Xue were worried, but they could only nod upon seeing Jiang Li’s calm expression.
