Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 115 Part 4: Mine Hello! I’m on a trip until the third week of January 2024, so the update might be sporadic or none at all during this time. I’ll try but we all know as far as trips go, we won’t be able to do much of anything. Moreover, we will be moving every 1-2 days so …. ^^!

I’ll take this time to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you so much for being with us all these years. Let’s hope for a better year ahead! Cheers!

After a while she said, “If it’s really not possible, please start, duke. Actually, I’ve already profited. At first Duke was not going to appear and I was about to die under the hands of these people. Perhaps dying without any form. Now, dying under the duke’s hand is my honor. What’s more there are still so many people to be buried with me. Thinking about it, it’s not a loss. Thank you for the duke’s care these days. If there’s a next life, Jiang Li would repay your kindness.” After finished speaking, Jiang Li closed her eyes and calmly lifted her head up slightly, waiting for Ji Heng to move his hand.

The fan moved on the white as jade neck, like a sharp weapon that harvested lives. Her features were distinct, clean and delicate like a mountain’s fairy. Her mouth that was very small and rosy was closed, somewhat stubbornly. And her long lashes were as if moistened by a layer of light dew that was about to drop, slightly quivering, very pitiful.

Ji Heng’s fan moved, gradually pressing. That was not a gorgeous folding fan at all, but more violent than a sword.

The viper coiled around its prey, opened its fang, its poison fell drop by drop. The white rabbit shrank into a ball, pathetically and carefully hoping that there’s still an opportunity to live.

It slowly drew near, the serpent’s tongue, as well as its gaze was ice-cold. It only needed to take a bite and this rabbit would not be able to move anymore.

But it suddenly flicked its tail, turned its head and walked away.

Jiang Li only felt that the pressure of the fan on her neck lightened and in an instant, there was no more sensation. She lifted her head, and saw Ji Heng’s indifferent side face.

Ji Heng said, “You are the first person I was about to kill that thanked me.”

Jiang Li said, “Is it? Then it’s also my honor.”

“Your mouth is so sweet,” the corner of Ji Heng’s lips rose. “Are you always like this?”

“No, I’m only like this when dealing with the duke.” Jiang Li nodded, her heart let out a breath in relief. In the end, she still won the gamble. She thought Ji Heng was someone who could not be moved by force or persuasion. But Ji Heng was not a lunatic who killed people when he saw them. Although people outside judged him as being temperamental, in fact, Ji Heng only took the lives of those people who provoked him.

Once she showed that she was completely harmless and meek with no threat towards Ji Heng, he would be too lazy to move his hand on her.

I know you are not as harmless and meek as you appear to be.” As if Ji Heng could see her thoughts, he suddenly opened his mouth. “You have also accidentally ruined many of my plans. I don’t like being lenient. But,” He abruptly looked at Jiang Li, his eyes penetrating and deep, “you pulled me into the play.”

“I want to see this play until the end. You can’t die at its most wonderful scene.” Ji Heng said, “Therefore, you can temporarily keep your life. I’ll take it when you are done with your affairs.”

Jiang Li asked, “What if the things I have to do take a long time to complete?”

“Then just wait.” Ji Heng said, “I have patience, you know.”

Jiang Li was silent. Ji Heng indeed had a lot of patience. He had begun to put things in order long before Cheng Wang flourished. At that time, no one would care about these things. He assisted Cheng Wang step by step until today’s stage where nobody dared to underestimate him. The current Jiang family’s restraint was also caused by this person.

He was more patient than anyone else. Probably there’s nothing he wanted to do that he could not accomplish.

However, Jiang Li was already very satisfied. It’s good to keep this life for now, and it’s fine if Ji Heng took it away in the future. Anyhow, she did not have to die today. She wanted to live, live to get Xue Huai Yuan out of prison, live to expose Yongning and Shen Yurong’s real faces, live to take revenge for Xue Zhao.

Everything could only be done when she’s alive. Ji Heng could keep her alive from the people arranged by Ji Shuran, could give her this life to take revenge, then she had no reason to resent Ji Heng.

The road ahead was boundless, keeping her life, she would always find a way out.

“These people…..” Jiang Li looked at the dead bodies on the ground.

“No need to bother.” Ji Heng looked at her, “Perhaps you wish to act and send them back to Ji Shuran in Yanjing?”

Jiang Li thought seriously for a moment, “No need. Sending them back will make her aware that she has failed and she will inevitably think of other ways. I really don’t have the energy to think about it. It’s better to let her think that everything has prevailed. It’s also a happy thing to see her surprise when I return to Yanjing.”

Ji Heng nodded cheerfully: “Makes sense.”

“What’s the duke’s plan now?” Jiang Li inquired. “I have to go back, I don’t know how uncle is doing now. Feng Yu Tang’s people wanted to kill me wholeheartedly, I’m afraid that uncle will be in danger.”

“Ye Ming Yu is fine.” Ji Heng said, “Among Feng Yu Tang’s people, the three killers with the best skills were Yongning’s. They were the ones who came after you and you trapped them in the swamp.” He glanced meaningfully at Jiang Li. Then he spoke again, “The remaining people are inadequate, Ye Ming Yu can deal with them.”

Jiang Li was slightly relieved after hearing Ji Heng. In case something happened to Ye Ming Yu because of her, Jiang Li was afraid that she would blame herself very much. Ji Heng would not lie about this. Jiang Li still believed him.

“Let’s go.” Ji Heng said, motioning her to ride the horse.

Jiang Li was stunned. Just now, while in a hurry to escape, she twisted her foot and it was not convenient to walk. She was going to endure, but didn’t think that Ji Heng could see it. But it was not the time to be pretentious, so Jiang Li did not think much and supported her body to turn over the horse.

Ji Heng walked unhurriedly beside her. Jiang Li pulled the reins from above. The two of them never got along so harmoniously.

“Duke, I have something to ask.” Jiang Li spoke softly, “This life is lent to me, but what if I die before I can give it back to you?”

“That’s impossible.” Ji Heng did not even turn his head around, his red gown drew a beautiful ray against the night sky. He said, “My things, no one could take them away from me. That includes your life.”
