Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 146 Part 4: Surprised

It’s just for a moment. Thinking about it, it did not seem right either. After all, the Master was Duke Su. Which woman in Beiyan doesn’t like Duke Su? Even if something happens by chance, Miss Jiang second will not lose money and even make a fortune.

Thinking about it this way, the astonishment in Zhao Ke’s eyes faded away in an instant, and he said with understanding on his face, “Okay, this subordinate will report back to the Master.”

Jiang Li nodded.

Zhao Ke left. Jiang Li saw his departure but did not close the windows. She just looked at the layer of white, vast expanse outside the window, not knowing whether she was happy or sad.

Happy that Hai Tang was still there, and that she was going to meet her old friend for the first time. She was sad that things had changed and people changed with the passage of time. Hai Tang would not recognize her, and she could not recognize Haitang rashly. Both of them had suffered huge blows, and they were no longer the carefree girls they once were.

Tong’er stood next to Jiang Li and asked in a low voice, “Is Miss going to the Duke’s Mansion tonight?”

Jiang Li looked at Tong’er and said, “I went to the Duke’s Mansion and walked very close to Ji Heng. How do you see it? Or to rephrase,” she also looked at Bai Xue, “What do you think?”

This was the first time she had spoken so seriously to the two servant girls. For Tong’er and Bai Xue, many times they didn’t understand why Jiang Li did what she did. Even Tong’er, who grew up with Jiang Li, was baffled with the many people related to Jiang Li who appeared out of nowhere.

Tong’er stammered, “W-What how is it? It’s not that Miss doesn’t want the slaves anymore, right?” Her eyes turned red, as if she was going to cry the next moment.

Jiang Li was stunned, she was instead made feeling between laughter and tears by Tong’er. She reached out and closed the window. Qing Feng Ming Yue were guarding the door outside. She sat down on the chair, sighed, and said, “I think you can also see that the days following me have not been peaceful, and are even full of dangers. Moreover, what I want to do may offend the powerful people in Yanjing and it may be difficult to even protect my own life.” After a pause, she said, “You are the closest people beside me, I don’t want to deceive you. I can only tell you that what I will do in the future perhaps will be even more shocking. In comparison, going to the Duke’s Mansion late at night can be said to be an insignificant matter. Can you accept this?”

Bai Xue thought for a while and asked grimly, “So what if you don’t accept it?”

Tong’er hurriedly pulled Bai Xue’s sleeve, but Bai Xue was unmoved. She was originally such a straightforward person, and she seemed to be really doubtful with Jiang Li’s answer.

“If you can’t accept it, you can’t stay with me, not only because I’m afraid of implicating you, but also because you can’t help.” Jiang Li said very calmly, but her calmness did not make people feel uncomfortable or selfish. Instead, it made people feel that what she said was sincere. She said, “I hope the people around me can help, even if it’s just a small favor. After all, I will face too many dangers in the future, and I don’t want to suffer a defeat now. As for what I can give you in return…” She thought about it and said, “Money and property are naturally not an issue, most importantly, I will treat you sincerely.”

The rarest thing in the world is sincerity.

Tong’er bit her lip, with a cry in her voice, she stepped forward and said, “Miss, no matter what you want to do, this slave has been following you since I was a child. If you don’t want this slave, this slave will have nowhere to go. If Miss is in danger in the future, Tong’er will save her master even if she has to lose her life. This is the way of a master and a servant… this slave will forever follow you!”

Before Jiang Li could speak, she heard Bai Xue say, “The same goes for this slave.” She was clumsy and not good at words, so she didn’t speak much. But she said the six words sonorously and powerfully, and the determination in them could be heard.

Jiang Li looked at the two servant girls, feeling a little distressed and moved in her heart. Hai Tang’s incident reminded her that what she did was dangerous and could harm the people around her at any time. The people around her had no knowledge of the circumstances, just like Xue Fang Fei back then, Princess Yongning still took the opportunity to harm Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan. Although Tong’er and Bai Xue couldn’t understand why she did this, they must know what they were facing.

If they could not bear the consequences, they should leave as soon as possible and not get involved in the vortex of right and wrong.

But they all chose to stay.

“Miss, no matter what you face, you are never alone.” Bai Xue said.

Jiang Li smiled slightly, “Yes.” She had two loyal servant girls and the love and protection of the Ye family. Although Jiang Yuan Bai and old madam Jiang were selfish, they felt guilty towards her. Now the traces belonging to Xue Fang Fei had been erased, but the traces belonging to Jiang Li were being retrieved one by one.

She said some words to Tong’er and Bai Xue, considered to have finally comforted Tong’er. Next, Jiang Li didn’t do much, just read and write in the yard as usual, or drink tea and listen to the servant girls chatting, and concentrated on waiting for nightfall.

At night, the noise from people’s voices could no longer be heard anywhere in Yanjing. Even when the wind noise had subsided, a lamp in Jiang Li’s yard was still burning faintly. When the maid came to urge her a few times, the lights in the yard were also extinguished. The master must have fallen asleep.

But in fact, Jiang Li was not asleep and was sitting at her desk. There was no moon in the sky, only thick clouds, and the only bright light was from a lantern hanging on the tree in the yard. The lantern light shone on the ground, making the white snow shine brightly. Everything was silent, and there was no sound in the entire Jiang residence.

It’s unknown how much time had passed; when Jiang Li was about to doze off, there was a sudden movement outside the window.

Someone was knocking on the window.

Jiang Li was startled, thinking that Zhao Ke must be here, and subconsciously went to open the window. Unexpectedly, someone was looking over here, so Jiang Li crossed the desk and opened the window, and what she saw was a stunning face.

Ji Heng was here.
