Marriage of the Di Daughter

Aunt Hu sat for a while, and then left.

When leaving, Jiang Li asked Tong'er to bring some charcoal to Aunt Hu's yard, otherwise, Aunt Hu's master and servant would freeze to death before Jiang Li revealed Ji Shuran's face.

Aunt Hu said that no matter what Jiang Li asked her to do, as long as she could avenge Miss Jiang's family, she would do anything.

After Aunt Hu left, Tong'er closed the door of the room, made sure that there was no one else in the room, and then said: "Girl, what Aunt Hu said may not be true, but...the matter is very important. The girl has to investigate carefully."

"That's right," Bai Xue also said, "If Aunt Hu is telling the truth, then the current Ji family is charged with murder. Before she was married to the family, she ordered someone to murder the wife of the family and get her Go to Jingzhao Mansion, even officials and family members will have to pay for their lives."

Jiang Li waved her hand and said: "Aunt Hu's words are just one-sided words, and this matter must not be spread outside until there is a result."

Tong'er and Baixue knew that the matter was important, and immediately stated that they would not reveal a single word to the outside world.

Jiang Li's gaze deepened.

At the beginning, she only guessed that the death of Miss Jiang's family was not accidental. She guessed more boldly that Ji Shuran's miscarriage was not all what it seemed on the surface. But from Aunt Hu's mouth, she also learned such an astonishing fact that Ye Zhenzhen's death was also inseparably related to Ji Shuran.

Although Jiang Li said that this matter was just Aunt Hu's side story, Jiang Li's intuition told herself that what Aunt Hu said was indeed true. But there is one thing Jiang Li doesn't understand, that is, Ye Zhenzhen was still alive at that time, and Ji Shuran was not yet married, how could she be willing to plan to be Jiang Yuanbai's sequel, even killing Ye Zhenzhen.

Before this, Jiang Yuanbai and Ji Shuran had no contact. According to what Jiang Li heard, Ji Shuran fell in love with Jiang Yuanbai when Ye Zhenzhen passed out.

If it's true... Jiang Li felt cold, Ji Shuran and Jiang Yuanbai, wouldn't they be another Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong, poor Ye Zhenzhen, wouldn't they have walked the same path as her?

Jiang Li was thinking wildly in her heart, but couldn't find a clue. If you want to know what's going on, you have to start with Ji Shuran. But she didn't have any manpower to inquire about at Ji's house, and what happened back then was so long ago, it would be even more difficult to find out from the years when Ji Shuran was not married.

Jiang Li didn't go to Ye's house today because she had something on her mind, for the first time, she locked herself in her room in the yard, thinking hard all night.

Tong'er and Bai Xue thought that Jiang Li had suddenly realized that her mother's death might have been murdered, and they were so angry and sad that they couldn't hold themselves back, so they locked themselves in the room. The two came forward to comfort one by one, and Jiang Li listened absent-mindedly, only letting them not relax and pay attention to Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao's movements.

At night, when the sky darkened, Jiang Li sent Tong'er and Bai Xue away as before, and stayed in the house by herself.

I don't know how to deal with Zhao Ke's affairs. But Jiang Li thought that from today onwards, a fourth thing had to be added, which was to investigate whether Ji Shuran had any contact with Jiang Yuanbai before she got married. If there has been contact, is there any other disputes in private.

Investigating the past of his father and stepmother is really a bit outrageous. But Jiang Li didn't have too many scruples in her heart. First of all, she was not really the second Miss Jiang. It was really difficult for Jiang Yuanbai to rely on her father. Secondly, Jiang Yuanbai may also be the murderer right now. She took Miss Jiang Er's body, so she has to be responsible for Miss Jiang Er's life. I can't do other things, but at least this matter, if Miss Jiang Er is still alive, she will also find a way to find out the real cause of her mother's death.

Jiang Li clenched the whistle in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and blew it lightly.

The Jiang residence was quiet, it was already late at night, and everyone had fallen asleep. There was the sound of wind and snow outside, and her courtyard was far away from the main courtyard. Although it was called Fangfei Garden, there were only shadows of lingding trees at night. I just felt that Gu Ye Han Xing didn't even make the sound of a bug.

Zhao Ke didn't come.

Jiang Li frowned, put Baici's whistle by her mouth, and blew softly again. The whistle was clear but not loud, it sounded like some kind of bird's raving, and it was not attractive at night. I don't know how the people in the Duke's Mansion can tell the difference.

Still no sign of Zhao Ke.

Jiang Li was very puzzled, logically speaking, it shouldn't be, Zhao Ke has to go back to Jiang's house every night. At least she blew the whistle twice, and Zhao Ke appeared quickly both times. Could it be that he was really dissatisfied with how he ordered him, so he asked Ji Heng to come over instead? But at least the replacement should show up. Or he has a mission tonight and is not at home?

Jiang Li waited for a while, but there was no movement. Looking outside, the wind and snow were so strong that it almost fascinated people's eyes. After confirming that Zhao Ke would not come, he sighed, stretched out his hand to cover the window, and turned around.

Turning around, Jiang Li almost screamed out.

Under the flickering lights, before the young couple, there was already someone sitting at some point. He was using the folding fan in his hand to dust off the snowflakes that fell on his robe. He should have just come in from the outside, with the chill of wind and snow all over his body. But she was wearing a deep red robe, so the cold night seemed to have color, and the room seemed to be filled with the fragrance of love.

He raised his head, revealing a handsome face that turned all sentient beings upside down, his smile was light and seductive, his long eyes filled the night, and he said, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Li put down her hand covering her mouth, took a step forward, and said, "Master Guo."

Ji Heng propped his head on the fan handle and looked at her with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

"I saw you blow the whistle twice," Ji Heng said, "What do you want to find Zhao Ke?"

"It's about something about the family." Jiang Li was a little confused about Ji Heng's intention for a while, and she didn't know how to cover it up. Thinking that Zhao Ke should tell everything about her side, she didn't hide it.

"I heard that you asked my subordinates to ask about the inside story of you pushing Ji Shuran to have a miscarriage?"

Jiang Li said: "That's true, but Zhao Ke doesn't know the hidden truth."

"Zhao Ke doesn't know it's natural," he glanced at Jiang Li, his lips curled up, "I know."

Jiang Li was stunned.

Ji Heng played with the folding fan, and said casually: "I want to know about the big and small things in the Gaomen mansion in Yanjing City, and I know almost all the things I don't want to know. I just happen to know a little about what happened to the Jiang family that year."

"Grandpa," Jiang Li said, "Can you tell me?"

"Yes." Ji Heng answered very frankly, but the next sentence made Jiang Li frowned, only to hear him say: "Little guy, this is your own business, why do you come to ask me?"

His eyes are moving, deep and shallow are full of affection, the amber eyes are under the light, like wine in a glass shaking slightly, just look at it more, and you will be intoxicated. However, this wine seems to be mixed with delicious poison, which makes others drunk, but from the depths, it is frighteningly sober.

"I only know the result, not the reason." Jiang Li said: "After all, I was still young back then, and I knew too little about Ji Shuran."

"Is this the reason you found for yourself?" Ji Heng asked.

"That's right." Jiang Li said: "Is this reason enough to convince the Duke?"

Ji Heng shook his head regretfully: "Of course not." But soon, he smiled again, "But since you blew the whistle, I will tell you about your problems today. So this does not prevent me from telling you. Your Ji Shuran's inside story. You can ask now."

Jiang Li looked at him, this man's gestures could captivate people's souls, even such back and forth, ordinary conversations, could be seduced by him. Seems far and near, can't figure it out, if someone else comes, I'm afraid I'll just fall into it.

"Did Ji Shuran have an affair with my father before my mother died?" Jiang Li asked.

Ji Heng's expression paused slightly, he looked at Jiang Li, and said with great interest: "It seems that you have found a lot of things again?"

"Just a little bit."

Ji Heng said: "No." Seeing Jiang Li staring at him, he added: "Before Ji married Jiang Yuanbai, he had no relationship with Jiang Yuanbai."

Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want the truth to be true. If Jiang Yuanbai really cooperated with the Ji family to kill his wife, it would be too cruel for Ye Zhenzhen, and the real Second Miss Jiang is really pitiful. One Xue Fangfei in the world is enough, there is no need for more miserable women.

"You seem to be happy to see it happen." Ji Heng said.

"At least it can prove that my father is not a murderer. The Jiang family I live in is safer after all. Isn't it worth making people happy?"

Ji Heng was noncommittal, he said: "Jiang Yuanbai is not that bold, Ji Shuran has no affair with your father, because there is someone else who has an affair with her."

This time, Jiang Li was really surprised.

She had always been gentle and calm, and it was rare for her to show such a surprised expression. It looked a bit childish like this, but it didn't look like her anymore. Ji Heng was amused by her expression, propped his chin, and said, "Why, don't you believe me?"

"I just... think it's very strange." Jiang Li said: "I see that the Ji family should be very concerned about my father. Over the years, he has put a lot of effort into my father, so in the big house , except for an aunt who suffers from hysteria and can hardly be remembered, there is no woman. She is like this, I thought she had a father in her heart, so she would have such a possessive desire, but I didn't expect that there was someone else in her heart. "

After all, she is a cardamom girl. When talking about these things, she is not shy at all, speaking calmly and rationally, as if she has experienced the ups and downs of the sea of ​​love before she can see it so clearly. Ji Heng's eyes flickered slightly, then disappeared quickly, and said: "Ji Shuran is the father who loves you now, but back then... She and her cousin had a close relationship."

Jiang Li's eyes widened: "Cousin?"

She has never heard of Ji's cousin.

"The Ji family's cousin is called Liu Wencai. Well, he was born more handsome than Jiang Yuanbai. Back then, he and the Ji family could be regarded as flirtatious."

It turned out that many years ago, Ji Shuran and Liu Wencai had a relationship. That Liu Wencai was born handsome and extraordinary, who understands women's thoughts quite well, and Ji Shuran, who is just in love, is no match for Liu Wencai. She actually got married without telling Ji's family and Liu Wen, almost to the point of making a private decision for life. That Liu Wencai and Ji Shuran were well-matched, but the family had already found another marriage for him. The Ji family is still dreaming of Liu Wencai coming to marry him, and Liu Wencai has already married someone else.

Ji's heart was filled with resentment, and she was determined to take revenge on Liu Wencai and marry herself, not only that, but also to marry a man who was better than Liu Wencai and had a higher status. However, in Yanjing City, although there are many suitable gentlemen, they can't be found for a while, and it is even more difficult to find someone who is better than Liu Wencai. Ji Yanlin's idea was to let Ji Shuran marry the son of a colleague to close the relationship. The son of that colleague is obese and there are countless concubines in the mansion. How can the Ji family look up to him? I am more anxious.

At this time, by chance, the Ji family saw Jiang Yuanbai at a banquet. At that time, Jiang Yuanbai was younger, and although he was not as handsome as Liu Wencai, he had an elegant demeanor. Ji Shuran learned about Jiang Yuanbai's status in the court, and after weighing it, he was higher than the colleague Ji Yanlin wanted her to marry.

If she could marry Jiang Yuanbai, she would be able to get rid of the nightmare of living with an obese man and take revenge on Liu Wencai. Ji Shuran made up her mind that marrying Jiang Yuanbai would be the best choice. But the only problem is that Jiang Yuanbai already has a wife.

At that time, Jiang Yuanbai had just got ginger pear, and heard that Jiang Yuanbai's wife, Ye Zhenzhen, had a fundamental injury when she gave birth to a child. A bold idea came to Ji Shuran's mind, if Ye Zhenzhen died of a serious illness, Jiang Yuanbai would have to marry Suxian. Ji Shuran didn't care about being a sequel. To her, even being a sequel to Jiang Yuanbai was more beautiful than being the official wife of Ji Yanlin's colleague's son.

Ji Shuran bribed the doctor who gave Ye Zhenzhen's pulse, and made a lot of money to Ye Zhenzhen's maid, because no one thought that Ye Zhenzhen would have enemies, let alone that someone would do such a frenzied thing in order to marry into Jiang's family. Ji Shuran waited patiently, and she actually did this. Ye Zhenzhen is dead.

After Ye Zhenzhen's death, Ji Shuran confided to Mrs. Ji that it would be better to be Jiang Yuanbai's continuation than to be the wife of a colleague's son. The Jiang family has a great status in the court, and they can also promote relations with the Ji family. Mrs. Ji told Ji Yanlin about this matter, and Ji Yanlin also thought it was good. Later, the banquet with Jiang Yuanbai and Ji Shuran was arranged.

At that banquet, Ji Shuran naturally put in a lot of effort, and asked people early on what music Jiang Yuanbai liked and what kind of dress he liked, and Jiang Yuanbai fell in love with Ji Shuran at first sight.

After Ji Shuran entered Jiang's house, those servants of Ye Zhenzhen in the past, who died or scattered, of course, were all silenced by Ji Shuran. Except for Ji Shuran's confidants, no one knew about it. After Ji Shuran gave birth to two children in Jiang's family and gained a firm foothold, no one would know about it.

Ji Heng said: "Before Zhao Ke came to Jiang's house, I asked him to inquire about everything that happened in Jiang's house. Wen Ji also found out some. All of Mrs. Jiang's servants had accidents within half a year, and none of them were spared. It's confusing. Unexpectedly, such a secret was found out."

Jiang Li was already speechless in surprise.

She didn't doubt Ji Heng's words, he was naturally proud, and there was no need to tell lies about such things. But she was shocked by Ji Shuran's shamelessness and boldness. If there is any difference between Ji Shuran and Princess Yongning, it is that Ji Shuran's ruthlessness is hidden under the gentle appearance, while Princess Yongning is not afraid to show it at all.

But what they did was the same act of killing their wives and children.

"Liu Wencai..." Jiang Li murmured, "Where is that man now?"

"There was an accident in the Liu family, Master Liu was demoted, he left Yanjing City, and went to Yuzhou, he couldn't be compared with Ji's family. But..." Ji Heng looked at her: "Liu Wencai came to Yanjing City eight years ago."

Eight years ago, the year Jiang Li pushed Ji Shuran to have a miscarriage, the year she was sent to Mount Qingcheng?

"He came to look for Ji Shuran?" Jiang Li asked.

"It should be." Ji Heng said casually: "In this world, many people enjoy reliving their old dreams."

Jiang Li only felt sick in her heart, but she still had to ask what should be asked. She asked, "Has Ji Shuran relived his old dream with him?"

"Not only that," Ji Heng smiled: "There are also evil seeds."

Jiang Li was in a daze, and then, it seemed that everything suddenly became clear, and she understood everything. There was eagerness in her voice: "Is this adulterer the one I pushed to miscarry?"

"That's right," Ji Heng sighed, as if he felt pity for her, and his voice was soft, "Jiang Yuanbai asked you to go to Qingcheng Mountain for an affair, and you stayed there for eight years. You must be very wronged."

Jiang Li bit her lips: "No, Ji Shuran and Liu Wen had an affair, and no one has discovered it until now, and no one should have discovered it at the time. In this case, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to tell it, who knows if the child is The Jiang family. Ji Shuran would rather not have this child, would rather get rid of this child, and make me leave home, unless... She is afraid that someone will know that this child belongs to Liu Wencai. Out of fear, she would not hesitate to have an abortion, but she came to me... Was she afraid that I would know about it? What did I see?"

It was as if a ray of sky suddenly appeared, and everything became clear. Before Jiang Li had time to analyze further, he heard Ji Heng's voice from nearby, and he said: "I think so too, but Ari, why do you use the identity of a bystander to talk about your own affairs? Woolen cloth?"

Jiang Li was excited, and met Ji Heng's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

When she was shocked just now, she forgot to cover it up, and the sentence "what do I know" seemed to violate the harmony. She asked herself like this, but how could an ordinary person ask herself.

"I..." Jiang Li thought about the answer quickly, and she said: "I don't know this, I don't remember that I have seen the relationship between Liu Wencai and Ji Shuran, so I will ask myself."

After saying this, she also became puzzled. If Miss Jiang Er had really seen Liu Wencai and Ji Shuran having an affair, why didn't she say it? After so many years, why didn't you say anything? Could it be that Miss Jiang Er didn't see or hear anything, but Ji Shuran thought that Miss Jiang Er knew the inside story, and would rather kill by mistake than slip through the net, so she used Jiang Li's hand to remove the evil seeds in her belly, and let Jiang's family Dislike ginger pear, kill two birds with one stone?

She looked at Ji Heng. Ji Heng obviously didn't believe the answer. Because the way he nodded was also very perfunctory. It seems that the adults have already seen through the clumsy lies of the children, and they are unwilling to get to the bottom of it with the children, so they nodded falsely to express their belief.

But Jiang Li couldn't care less. Ji Heng is like an omniscient treasure house, but she knows nothing about the Jiang family, her biggest flaw can just be filled by Ji Heng, so I wish Ji Heng could tell her everything.

"Where is Liu Wencai now?" Jiang Li asked. If possible, finding Liu Wencai can also be counted as evidence.

Ji Heng said: "Dead."

"Dead?" Jiang Li was surprised.

"Ji Shuran personally ordered someone to kill him." Ji Heng said it casually as if it was commonplace, but it made Jiang Li feel horrified. He said: "Before the miscarriage, he sent someone to kill him. It is said," he smiled mockingly, "Liu Wencai was still dreaming of being able to rely on Ji Shuran to live the life of a rich man in Yanjing again. Ji Shuran promised him money to open a casino in the best location in Yanjing, and died in the house the next day. Still drunk to death."

Jiang Li was speechless.

One day husband and wife, one hundred days of grace, Liu Wencai and Ji Shuran had a friendship for many years after all, even though Liu Wencai later married someone else, but after many years Liu Wencai returned to Yanjing, Ji Shuran and him have flesh and blood, which can explain that Ji Shuran is afraid Still have affection for him.

Still have more feelings, but can kill him without looking back?

Ji Heng seemed to see her incomprehension, and said, "Ji Shuran doesn't love him."

"do not love?"

"Liu Wencai is down and out." Ji Heng said calmly: "With nothing, Ji Shuran is the first assistant's wife, how could she still like Liu Wencai. She is with Liu Wencai to avenge Liu Wencai's abandonment. From the beginning, she Thinking of abandoning Liu Wencai, not only that, but also the other party's life. No wonder people in the world say," he sighed: "The green bamboo snake's mouth, the wasp's tail and the needle, neither of them is poisonous, but the most poisonous to a woman's heart."

He sighed, but in his tone, there was the slack and sarcasm unique to theatergoers.

"At first I didn't think so," Jiang Li said, "I didn't think I was in the way of Ji Shuran. Even if I was in the way, I didn't have to take my life. But after hearing what you said, I understand. People like Ji Shuran are cruel from the bottom of their hearts." Yes, even if I don't provoke her, she will get rid of me. Because she is vicious."

"Don't you just know now?" Ji Heng said: "You have fought her before, I thought you knew it a long time ago."

There was a smile on his lips, and his tone was calm, as if he didn't care what he said, but Jiang Li knew that every word Ji Heng said was worth scrutinizing. Today he took the initiative to come to the door and openly shared the secret news he knew with himself. On the surface, he was at a disadvantage. But in fact, this trip, Ji Heng also received a lot of goods.

He was afraid that he had already suspected that there was something wrong with himself, Miss Jiang.

Jiang Li was not surprised, no matter what Ji Heng guessed, what she was going to do would never change.

Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng: "Anyway, thank you, Lord Guo, for telling me this."

"Actually, I didn't want to tell you this." Ji Heng stared at her, and said playfully: "You look kind and innocent, and the truth is always cruel. But...Ah Li," he called "Ah Li "At the time, the two words that were originally plain and ordinary seemed to contain a romantic feeling of spring, and they became lingering. He said, "If you want to live and go further, you must see the facts clearly earlier. And, you accept Come on, right?"

Jiang Li also smiled, and said: "Good medicine is bitter, but loyal words are hard to hear. What you say to your majesty is the same as what you say to me. The Duke told me the truth, and it's too late for me to thank you."

"But knowing the truth and living too clearly is a very hard thing."

"Really?" Jiang Li stared into his eyes, "Isn't the Duke of the Kingdom here too?"

For a moment, Jiang Li felt that even the tear mole under his eyes became more vivid. The smile on his lips froze, or disappeared. Just looking at Jiangli, her expression was neither provocative nor provocative, she did not examine or explore, she just passed a trace of very complicated things.

After a while, he laughed again, and said, "It seems embarrassing to be seen through by a little girl."

"No one in the world dares to shame you." Jiang Li smiled.

Ji Heng suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.

His fingertips were slightly cold, it was hard to imagine that for a person with such a profound and beautiful face, the fingertips did not feel warm, as if they also brought the cold dew outside. He turned sideways, bullying and approaching, staring at Jiangli from top to bottom, the smile deepened at the corner of his mouth, and he murmured: "Your mouth is so sweet, it makes people want to taste it."

Jiang Li's body froze.

She is not afraid of Ji Heng, even if Ji Heng is moody or ambitious, but what she sees in Ji Heng's heart is not without trace. But when Ji Heng made an ambiguous move towards her, she was at a loss. She couldn't just push her away, in fact she couldn't. She knew that Ji Heng thought it was fun and was teasing maliciously, but when the other party's breath got closer, she could clearly see the shadow cast by his long eyelashes, and she could see herself clearly in the other party's eyes. Seeing his funny eyes, seeing his slightly raised, rosy mouth... Jiang Li suddenly lowered her eyes, avoiding Ji Heng's meaningful eyes, and refused to show her fragility to Ji Heng again.

His lips stopped just a millimeter away from hers.

Instead, he said with a funny voice: "So you are still afraid of me, I thought you have reached the point where you treat me unscrupulously."

Jiang Li was relieved when she was free.

The next moment, Ji Heng let go of his hand, sat back in his original position, and smiled lazily at her.

Under the lights, his appearance could not pick out the slightest blemish, with a somewhat gorgeous smile, making him look like a deadly spirit.

Jiang Li looked away again, it was... too dazzling.

"Already too scared to look at me? Aren't you very courageous?" He took back his fan, stood up again, and said, "Let's stop here today, it's not too early. If you need it in the future, you can continue to brag about it." whistle. Zhao Ke will answer your questions, and sometimes," he said with a smile on his face, "I will come too."

Jiang Li said: "Then there is no need."

"It's not up to you to decide." He opened the window and said "Goodbye, little guy". The next moment, there was no sign of this person in the room.

Only the flickering lights seem to have a lingering fragrance.
