Chapter 106 Part 4: In Prison

Jiang Li was totally unaware that her every movement had been in someone’s eyes from the beginning. But even if she knew, the current her also did not have the mind to deal with Ji Heng. Her mind was filled with the news about Xue Huai Yuan going crazy and being sent to prison, she didn’t know whether to be happy or sorrowful at this time.

Happy because in the end, there’s still a life, the father and daughter were not separated eternally by heavens. Sorrow because the crazy Xue Huai Yuan might not recognize his own daughter. Even if they met again, perhaps they would not be able to recognize each other in this life.

God is like this, seemingly giving a hope to live, but afterwards actually a deeper despair.

Jiang Li sat blankly in front of the table.

Tong’er and Bai Xue asked several times, but Jiang Li did not tell them what the matter was. Until finally, perhaps due to frustration or something else, she directly told Tong’er and Bai Xue to go out while she stayed in the room by herself. The two servant girls were afraid that she would do something foolish and simply sat in front of the door with their ears pasted on the door panel, carefully listening to any activities inside. In case there’s anything wrong, they would break the door and enter, by all means must not let Jiang Li have an accident.

Jiang Li silently buried her face in the crook of her arms.

As long as she thought of what Yongning and Shen Yurong did to Xue Huai Yuan, Jiang Li wished she could tear them all apart. Xue Huai Yuan met with an accident, Jiang Li did not believe that Shen Yurong did not know anything about this! Even in Xue Zhao’s accident, if Yongning acted on her own initiative, Xue Zhao was already gone and there’s nothing that Shen Yurong could do. But Xue Huai Yuan was still alive, Shen Yurong actually looked on unfeelingly as Xue Huai Yuan was subjected to torture!

At the beginning, when Shen Yurong came to Tongxiang, Xue Huai Yuan once mentioned to him, “a day being a teacher is a father for a lifetime”. She did not demand Shen Yurong to treat Xue Huai Yuan as his own father, but he should have a bit of conscience based on the teacher-student relationship.

These two were simply inhuman beasts!

What infuriated Jiang Li more at the moment, even if she could meet Yongning and Shen Yurong, she did not have any way to immediately take revenge on behalf of the Xue family. No need to mention that the imperial bodyguards surrounding them would never let Jiang Li come close, simply taking a life for a life was too cheap for them. It’s considered over when the injustice of the Xue family was cleared and their ugly faces were yet revealed to the public.

Jiang Li felt extreme hatred in her heart, but she understood that the more important thing at the moment was not to take revenge, but to take Xue Huai Yuan out of prison. If the news that Qiong Zhi heard was true and Xue Huai Yuan was currently in prison, afraid that he was not just lacking in food and clothing. Yongning would never let Xue Huai Yuan go and would certainly arrange for someone to make him suffer in the dark. Xue Huai Yuan was older, if he could not endure….. Jiang Li did not dare to think any further.

She straightened up all of a sudden, the matter should not be delayed, she must rush back to Tongxiang!

As she was thinking, Tong’er and Bai Xue’s voices came from outside. Bai Xue said: “Third master, you are here, the young lady is inside…..”

Ye Ming Yu? Jiang Li got up and opened the door. Bai Xue had not yet finished talking and saw Jiang Li come out. She relaxed her breath upon seeing that Jiang Li’s complexion looked a bit better than before.

Jiang Li said: “Uncle Ming Yu.”

“I specially came looking for you.” Ye Ming Yu did not pay attention to the two servant girls’ different expressions. He went inside the room and sat in front of the small table, then laughed heartily as he spoke: “Ah Li, you have no idea, th eldest brother and second brother went to the weaving hall. When the people in the weaving hall saw our peacock feathers, they felt it’s worth a try. I think the method you talked about before can most probably be accomplished. If it can really be done, aside from ancient fragrant satin, our Ye family would have more novel fabrics. You’ve made a huge merit!”

Jiang Li forced a smile. If she received this news before she went to see Qiong Zhi, she would definitely feel very happy for the Ye family. However, now her thoughts were all on Xue Huai Yuan’s situation in Tongxiang, no matter how, she did not have the mood to be distracted by the matter of the Ye family’s weaving things.

“Then I have to congratulate uncle Ming Yu.” Jiang Li said, “if it really succeeds, the most meritorious should be uncle Ming Yu. If it were not uncle Ming Yu who found the peacock feather, I also would never have thought of this method.”

Ye Ming Yu heard her and burst into laughter. He said, “I like this trait of Ah Li, not claiming credit for herself! Don’t worry, when the eldest brother and second brother were at the weaving hall, they already praised me. They still said that if this succeeds, they will give me a caravan with martial arts support in the future to run around all year round and see some rare things to bring back. I’m considering bringing Ru Feng, that boy, and go with me. He has the brain for business, and following me will perhaps reap a lot of profits. Moreover, boys should walk around more to broaden their views. Staying within Xiangyang city walls all day long, no big things can be accomplished.”

Jiang Li smiled and absent-mindedly said: “That’s also very good.”

“Ah Li, you are from Yanjing and I heard that you came first in the recent examination, it can be seen that you are a person with knowledge. I’m thinking, if the peacock feather can really be made into fabrics, what would be a good name for it? Just like ancient fragrant satin, it’s not tacky and you can make out what it is just based on the name. Do you have any ideas?”

Ye Ming Yu normally did not get involved with the Ye family’s business. Perhaps he was proud due to the merit of his discovery of the peacock feather this time, he unexpectedly cared about this trivial matter. He still humbly asked for Jiang Li’s opinion.

Under normal conditions, Jiang Li would be very happy to discuss these trivial things with Ye Ming Yu and pull the relationship with the Ye family closer. But after meeting Qiong Zhi, Jiang Li knew that each moment that passed was an opportunity. The time passed for a long time and it would become more unfavorable for Xue Huai Yuan.

She’s not a daughter who could look unfeelingly as her biological father suffered in prison.

“Uncle Ming Yu, I want to request something.” Jiang Li interrupted Ye Ming Yu’s chattering.

Ye Ming Yu was stunned. Looking at this niece of him, whose complexion rarely looked solemn, he couldn’t help straightening his body and asked: “What is it?”

Jiang Li took a deep breath: “I want to go to Tongxiang.”
