He said it lightly, and he could hold a person's life in the palm of his hand while talking and laughing. Jiang Li suddenly felt absurd, whether Ji Heng is the same as Princess Yongning, just because she is in a high position, she takes it for granted that as long as it gets in her way, she can throw it away without any effort.

But soon, she stopped her wild thoughts. Jiheng and the Ningyuanhou's family have no grievances or enmities, and they say this kind of thing for their own sake. If she picks and chooses again, she really doesn't know what's good and what's wrong.

Jiang Li also doesn't want to be someone who picks up the bowl to eat and puts down the bowl to scold her mother.

She said: "Thank you for the kindness of the Duke, but it is difficult to explain the death of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion. Now the city of Yanjing is troubled, and if there are troubles again, it will arouse suspicion."

She politely refused Ji Heng's help.

Ji Heng was noncommittal, and said: "Then you should be more careful." After a pause, he reminded again, "Your life is mine, so don't be accidentally taken by others."

Jiang Li smiled: "Yes."

After talking with Ji Heng for a while, Jiang Li went out of the house to see Xue Huaiyuan. Situ Jiuyue gave Xue Huaiyuan an injection for the first time today, Xue Huaiyuan was extremely scared, so Jiang Li had no choice but to support Xue Huaiyuan's shoulder, coaxing him softly, and Xue Huaiyuan gradually calmed down.

"He listens to you very much." Situ Jiuyue glanced at her, "This is rare."

"After I picked up Xue Xiancheng from the Tongxiang Prison, I took care of him for a long time. Although he lost his mind, he knew who was good to him. When I was around, he would feel at ease."

"It's not just that simple." Situ Jiuyue stuck a silver needle into Xue Huaiyuan's acupuncture point, and continued without raising his head: "This kind of people who lose their minds are the same for everyone. It's not right There are good and bad people, but he obviously has a different attitude towards you. Ye Mingyu spent a lot of time with him here, and he doesn't have any feelings for Ye Mingyu."

"Did you know each other before?" Situ Jiuyue asked.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and she categorically denied it: "No, I was in Yanjing City, and then I went to Qingcheng Mountain. Xue Xiancheng has been in Tongxiang, and we have never met."

"This is strange." Situ Jiuyue seemed a little puzzled, "The way he behaved towards you should be due to his remaining memory habits, and you are someone she is familiar with."

Jiang Li had no choice but to say: "I don't know why this happened."

Situ Jiuyue glanced at her again: "I've heard about you, you are so courageous, no wonder Ji Heng looks at you differently."

Seeing her calling Ji Heng's name directly, Jiang Li was curious, so she asked, "Miss Jiuyue seems to be very familiar with the Duke?"

"That's right." Situ Jiuyue said, "We both have the grace to save lives."

Jiang Li was surprised, Ji Heng saved Situ Jiuyue's life, Jiang Li was not surprised. I remember that it was many years ago when Molan was in turmoil. At that time, Situ Jiuyue should be a little girl of five or six years old. Without the ability to protect himself, Mo Lanli was on the edge of Beiyan's east line. If Situ could come to Beiyan in September, he should have the help of Beiyan people. Jiang Li didn't know if this person was Ji Heng.

But Situ Jiuyue also saved Ji Heng's life?

"Don't look at him alive and kicking now, he almost died back then." Situ Jiuyue said, "It was so easy to survive, but now no one can kill him."

Jiang Li: "..."

This girl is really rude.

There was no one else in the room, Xue Huaiyuan kept yelling "Yeah", Situ Jiuyue held his back neck with one hand, slowly pierced a silver needle, and said, "But he asked me to come and help you, it's okay It's beyond people's expectations. Looking at you, you don't look like a bad person. I heard from Lu Ji that you were wronged for killing your mother and brother, tsk tsk tsk," she said, "although you have the courage to act in Tongxiang, but in the end She is a kind rabbit, and the people around Jiheng are not kind, so why would you hang out with them? Let me tell you," she is skillful in her hands, dazzled Jiang Li, "you might as well draw a line with Jiheng as soon as possible, So as not to implicate you in the future. Even if you cannot be implicated, you will be scared to death by him sooner or later."

Jiang Li smiled: "Thank you for the relationship with Miss Jiuyue."

Situ Jiuyue frowned: "I'm not caring about you."

Jiang Li was amused, Situ Jiuyue looked a year or two older than Miss Jiang Er, but younger than her previous self. But her style of speaking and acting is quite elegant, talking to herself at the moment, just like the elder sister comforting the innocent little sister, and the intimidation is half persuasion.

But it's true, life has undergone tremendous changes, and it is inevitable to grow up overnight. Innocence does not save life.

While he was still thinking, Situ Jiuyue had already inserted the last needle for Xue Huaiyuan, and Xue Huaiyuan seemed to be tired and fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Li helped him to lie down on the bed, covered the quilt and tucked in the corners of the quilt.

Situ Jiuyue stood aside and looked at her. She was sweet and lovely, but she was dressed in black and her smile was a bit cruel. She was not a person to be provoked at first glance. She said, "You really know how to take care of people."

"Really?" Jiang Li smiled.

"Has no one said that?" Situ Jiuyue wondered.

"You are the first." Jiang Li said.

When she was in her husband's house in her previous life, she served the whole family of Shen's family obediently, but she never received any compliments. Before she got married, it was Xue Zhaolai who took care of others. Xue Huaiyuan loved his daughter dearly, but wanted to temper his son. In addition to Wentao and Wulue, Xue Zhao can even cook.

Sometimes Jiang Li felt that as her elder sister, she had to accept a lot of care from Xue Zhao.

After thinking about it, she suddenly saw something shaking in front of her. It was Situ Jiuyue shaking her hand in front of her eyes, and said, "What did you think of, so preoccupied?"

Jiang Li came back to her senses and said, "I'm thinking about family matters."

Situ Jiuyue said: "Okay."

"Miss Jiuyue specially consulted Xue County Prime Minister, Jiang Li, thank you in advance."

"No need to thank you." Situ Jiuyue said: "I dare not disobey Ji Heng's order. Do you have anything else? If there is nothing else, I will go first."

After saying this, she left as expected, without saying a word to Jiang Li in a chic way. But Jiang Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it, instead she thought this girl was very interesting.

She walked out, and Ji Heng also left at some point. When Wenren saw her coming out, his eyes lit up, and he entangled her "Second Miss" one by one. Jiang Li was sweated by his enthusiasm, so she found an excuse at random, left Ye Mansion, and returned to Jiang's house first.

After Jiang Li left, Wen Renyao stood in the yard and asked Situ Jiuyue, "Jiuyue, do I look good?"

Situ Jiuyue: "Get out!"

"It's so strange," he looked in the mirror, and the young man inside was still as handsome as a jade, and he said, "Why did Miss Jiang see me as if she had seen a ghost? Don't they all smile very happily when you treat them like this?"

Situ Jiuyue sneered: "Ji Heng is much prettier than you, Jiang Li is still very calm when he sees him. If you don't like to eat good food, how can you still love to eat shit?"

Wen Renyao: "..."

He said, "You are so vulgar!"

...

In the Jiang Mansion, in the Wanfeng Hall, Mrs. Jiang was sitting with her eyes closed.

After the incident with Daoist Chongxu, Aunt Hu committed suicide and died. The Jiang family is also considered to be undergoing great changes, although this matter has not been leaked to outsiders. But the Jiang family members know it well. With such a commotion, Ji Shuran killed a few lives under her nose, and Mrs. Jiang seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

She has always been hale and hearty, and even though she is old, she still has the same courage and majesty as when she was young. But after this incident, it seemed that most of her energy was taken away. Just looking at her, she saw Mrs. Jiang just sitting with her eyes closed all day long.

She didn't even look at her beloved little grandson, Jiang Bingji.

Fei Cui walked in and said: "Old Madam, Miss San is still outside, I'm just asking to see you."

Mrs. Jiang opened her closed eyes, but she didn't look at Fei Cui, she just looked at the stove in front of her and said, "Let her go back."

Fei Cui said: "Yes." Then she left to reply to Jiang Youyao.

Momo stood beside Mrs. Jiang, carefully rubbing her shoulders, and said, "Miss San has come to see Mrs. Jiang several times in the past few days."

"She's clever, instead of looking for his father, she's looking for me." Mrs. Jiang's tone was slightly mocking.

Jiang Yuanbai loves Jiang Youyao the most, but after this matter is over, Jiang Youyao never pleads for Ji Shuran in front of Jiang Yuanbai. Instead, she came to Mrs. Jiang. She was afraid that Jiang Yuanbai would get angry with her because of Ji Shuran, so she simply chose not to appear in front of Jiang Yuanbai.

"As shrewd as her mother." Mrs. Jiang said, her eyes were a little bored.

Although she knew that what Ji Shuran did had nothing to do with Jiang Youyao, but people who grew up eating whole grains have seven emotions and six desires. It's one thing to know intellectually, but quite another to actually be able to do it. Mrs. Jiang knew in her heart that she couldn't offend Jiang Youyao, but as long as she thought of Ye Zhenzhen, the dead Jiang Yue'er, Ji Shuran and even Liu Wencai had an affair, Mrs. Jiang would feel disgusted, and she couldn't even like Jiang Youyao.

In fact, it was difficult for her to be the same as in the past with Jiang Bingji, let alone Jiang Youyao.

"Old madam... A few days have passed, what do you want to do with Ji's side?" Mammy asked.

Mrs. Jiang paused slightly.

After a long silence, Mammy almost thought that Mrs. Jiang was asleep, when Mrs. Jiang's flat voice sounded: "Feed the medicine."

Nanny's hand trembled, the Jiang family hadn't fed medicine for many years. Although the old lady treats people harshly, she rarely does things that hurt people's lives. Unless it is a servant who has made a big mistake, he will not be killed directly. It can be seen that this time he hated Ji Shuran so much that he insisted on killing her.

"What? Do you think I'm being too ruthless?" Mrs. Jiang sensed the other party's hesitation, and before she could answer, she laughed at herself and said, "I think it's too cheap for her. Not to mention that she and her adulterer are private Tong, pregnant with an evil son, even our Jiang family lost three lives. Three lives." She murmured: "You said how vicious you are, that you even kill the child."

"I told Yuan Bai a long time ago that you don't have to marry someone who is too smart to marry. With Jiang's family background, you don't have to cling to anything. Although Ye's family background is a bit inferior, the most important thing is to be honest and gentle. Now that I think about it, I don't need to cling to anything. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Maybe it's because Mrs. Ye is too lenient in his daily life that his subordinates have dissatisfaction, be bewitched by Mrs. Ji, and lose their lives. However, this is also my sin of lax family management. If I paid more attention back then, Ye family may not be able to follow Ji's way."

"The old lady doesn't need to blame herself too much." The nanny said: "Who would have known that when the lady was still there, the Ji family took a fancy to the position of the lady and became ill-intentioned? This is also unheard of in Yanjing City."

"Not to mention Ye, I didn't even take good care of her daughter Eryatou." Mrs. Jiang smiled bitterly, "Back then Eryato kept saying that she didn't push Ji Shi, but I only believed my own eyes and never thought , It's just a play made by the Ji family. I just didn't expect that the Ji family could even give up the flesh and blood in his belly."

When Mammy thought of this, her heart skipped a beat. That's the flesh on my body, even if it's an adulterer, it's still connected with me by blood. In order to frame Jiang Li, the Ji family gave up without hesitation. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he deceived everyone.

"The second girl stayed in Qingcheng Mountain for eight years, and now she is back, take a look, has she ever been close to someone in this mansion?" Mrs. Jiang asked.

Mammy was speechless.

The second young lady acted gentle and polite, but as far as how close she was, no, she was even polite to Jiang Yuanbai.

"She goes to Ye's house every day. Among other things, she is much closer to an outsider who has lost her mind than us. This is our own fault. When she abandoned her back then, she naturally looked down on us."

Mrs. Jiang's words were sad, and the nanny couldn't help but feel sour when she heard it, and persuaded: "Second Miss just returned to Jiang's house, and she didn't stay for long, and she had a knot in her heart. Now the truth about Ji's matter is revealed, and her The heart knot can be considered untied, and after a long time, it will naturally get better. You and the old man are her relatives, if she doesn't get close to you, who else can she get close to?"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head: "I have lived to such an advanced age that one foot is already in the coffin. I have never seen anyone. At this age, there are very few people who want to be fooled. The second girl will not get close Let's go, her heart has hardened, and nothing can help. It's too late."

It was an undeniable tone.

Before Mammy could speak, Mrs. Jiang's voice came again: "But it's good, she won't be bullied like her mother. Harden your heart, be more careful in everything, so that you don't run into people With all my heart and soul, I won't be cheated in the future. In this way, I can feel at ease."

Momo thought for a while, and said: "Old Madam, you don't have to say it to death, people's hearts are fleshy, as long as we treat Second Miss well from now on, Second Miss will see it one day."

Mrs. Jiang waved her hand: "Forget it, I don't know if I can still see that time when I'm alive. The second girl hasn't returned home yet?"

"I went out to Ye's house." Nanny said.

"When she comes back, let her go and see Ji Shi. If you have anything to say to Ji Shi, just say it to Ji Shi."

"Madam, this is..." Momo was startled.

"After she meets Ji Shi, give Ji Shi some medicine." Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows were condensed, "Get on the road early, and make amends sooner."

After saying this, she closed her eyes again, as if falling asleep.

Mammy was silent for a while, and did not continue speaking.

...

In Yaoguang Zhuli, Jiang Youyao paced restlessly in the room.

Ji Shuran was locked up and no one else was allowed to approach her. She was not allowed to visit Ji Shuran. In fact, Jiang Youyao didn't dare to visit her either. No matter how ignorant she is on weekdays, the crime Ji Shuran confessed that day was really shocking. Among other things, even the crime of adultery, Jiang Youyao also knew that the Jiang family would definitely not spare Ji Shuran lightly.

Xue Fangfei, the wife of Yanjing's most talented and beautiful scholar, was discovered because of the crime of adultery. Now, when people mention her, they only say "slut". Now that this person has been replaced by Ji Shuran, it is conceivable that if it is rumored that the wife of the chief assistant of the court has an affair, it will definitely be more interesting than the affair of the wife of the first scholar.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang has already dealt with it, and the servants in the yard are all in the hands of the old lady, and she promises not to reveal a word. Even so, Jiang Youyao felt uneasy. There is also the look in the eyes of the second bedroom and the third bedroom. When Lu Shi saw her these two days, the mockery in her eyes really made Jiang Youyao wish to find a hole in the ground.

Ji Shuran was dirty, and people looked at her with dirty eyes, as if she was the adulterer. But she is not, she is the daughter of the Jiang family, a veritable golden branch and jade leaf! Don't try to take this position away from others, and it will never be taken away!

"Miss...what should I do...the old lady's attitude is too tough." The maid Jin Hua said.

"Is there any reply to the letter I wrote to my aunt?" Jiang Youyao asked.

Now that the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, it is more difficult to take out a letter than to reach the sky. She spent a lot of money to buy the servant of Jiang's mansion and send the letter to Chen Jishi. In her heart, Jiang Li told Chen Jishi to go to the palace to find Concubine Li, and Concubine Li must have a solution.

Yinhua shook her head.

Jiang Youyao immediately showed disappointment, and said: "No, is it because the old lady is guarding Jiang's house too tightly now, and letters from outside cannot come in. Jin Hua, go and inquire again."

Jin Hua said cautiously: "Miss, I'm afraid Mrs. Chen won't come again. After Mrs.'s accident the day before yesterday, people from Ji's family came here, but they left again... Are they planning to stop caring about Mrs. Madam? "If there is room for turning things around, the Ji family will definitely not leave so simply, at least they will have to stay in the mansion for a while longer. But they just left.

As soon as this remark came out, Jinhua slapped Jiang Youyao with a "slap", and Jiang Youyao said bitterly: "Nonsense! How could grandma, aunt, and the others ignore my mother? It's clearly a plan to delay the attack! I don't know what grandma and father said Why did you lie to Auntie and the others to leave, Auntie and the others don’t know what my mother’s situation is now. Now that I’ve written it clearly in the letter, they will come and rescue us immediately when they learn about Mother’s situation!”

Jin Hua quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "I know I was wrong, I am talking nonsense, Madam Chen will definitely come to rescue Madam."

Jiang Youyao's anger remained in her heart, although she was determined, but following Jin Hua's words, her heart gradually became uneasy.

Ji Shuran didn't tell her exactly how unlucky Jiang Li would be that day, but Jiang Youyao could vaguely guess that the final result should not be like this. Daoist Chongxu didn't hear from him afterwards, if Chen Jishi asked Concubine Li in the palace for help, Concubine Li would definitely not stand idly by, but why has there been no news yet? Even if Ji Chen couldn't enter Jiang's house, he could always do it by asking someone to bring him a word.

But no, nothing.

It can't go on like this, although Jiang Youyao is afraid in her heart, she also knows that Ji Shuran is the only one in the mansion who can really think about her. Jiang Yuanbai is annoyed by Ji Shuran now, and he doesn't know if he will forgive his mother, but it will be bad for her to wait like this. Who knows if that bitch Jiangli will use some tricks secretly?

She stood up abruptly and said, "No, I have to find a way to leave the house."

"Miss?" Yinhua was taken aback for a moment, "How can I get out now that the house is tightly controlled?"

In order to prevent the subordinates from spreading the matter, not a single fly in the mansion is allowed to fly out, let alone a living person like Jiang Youyao. Although Jiang Youyao wasn't grounded, she couldn't go anywhere.

"Damn it." Jiang Youyao sat down on the chair in frustration, "What should I do?"

...

It was getting dark.

If it is said that there are people who can freely enter and leave the mansion, probably Jiang Li is one of them. She just came back from Ye's house and walked to Fangfei Garden. Qingfeng and Mingyue sat in the yard embroidering purses, and when they saw Jiang Li coming back, they got up to greet her.

"Did something happen in the mansion?" Jiang Li asked.

"Baoqin came here and returned the money and charcoal that the girl had donated to Aunt Hu." Mingyue said: "Baoqin has been with Aunt Hu all her life. After Aunt Hu left, Baoqin has nowhere to go. The old lady Return the deed of sale to Baoqin, and let Baoqin go home. But Baoqin seems to have given up, saying that he will go to the temple, and the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha will spend the rest of his life." Mingyue said and sighed: "It's also a poor person .”

"Has she left?" Jiang Li asked.

"Leave the house tomorrow."

Jiang Lifu handed the silver to Mingyue again: "Although we are going to the temple, silver is also necessary. The future is very long, so there is no need to gamble all the retreat now. But she can't listen to these words now Yes. You find a way to bring the money to her without letting her know." Jiang Li said.

Mingyue took the money, was stunned for a moment, then laughed for a while and said, "Miss is so kind."

"It's just nostalgia." Jiang Li shook her head.

"By the way, the pearl beside the old lady also came here." Qingfeng remembered something, and said: "Pearl said that after the old lady asked the girl to come back, she can go to see the Ji family. If you have anything to say to the Ji family, You can tell Ji Shi."

Tong'er was surprised: "Didn't the old lady keep people from getting close to that lunatic Ji?"

"Who knows, maybe he purposely vented his anger on the girl's behalf. The Ji family has hurt the girl and his wife so badly, so naturally he should scold her well to relieve his anger." Qingfeng didn't think so.

Jiang Li didn't think so. The old lady's sudden remark could only show that she had made up her mind. Ji Shuran's path ended here, and the old lady asked her to see Ji Shuran for the last time.

Jiang Li said: "Since it is the old lady, let's go."

"Now?" Tonger asked.

"Right now."

Any later, it will be too late.

...

Ji Shuran was tied up in an old house in a side courtyard.

White silk was hung inside and outside the house. Aunt Hu died. Originally, the aunt in the mansion had gone, and the rich family did not have to arrange funerals, especially for people like Aunt Hu who were hardly remembered in the mansion all the year round. . But because Aunt Hu's death was so tragic, the Jiang family felt ashamed, so even if it was an aunt, they still had to be buried properly, and everyone in the house wore mourning.

The same is true for the room Ji Shuran stayed in. Only two white candles were lit in the room, and the candle oil dripped into strange shapes, like human tears. Someone set up a copper basin at the door, and there were still unburned paper money in it, some of which flew out and reflected on the window, casting strange shadows.

Ji Shuran huddled in the corner, feeling chills down her spine.

There was no one in the house. She was very scared in her heart, and she even missed those harsh women who spoke badly to her at this moment. At least there was someone in this room, so she wouldn't feel so spooky.

She has always thought that she is not afraid of ghosts and gods. As long as people have the means, ghosts are afraid of evil people. But on the day Daoist Chongxu came to exorcise the evil, what she saw with her own eyes shattered the firmness in her heart. There are ghosts in this world, once this is confirmed, Ji Shuran closes his eyes, and he can see those who were killed by him coming with their teeth and claws.

Ye Zhenzhen, Jiang Yueer, Liu Wencai, Siqi, and many others, including the child in her womb. Her mind was extremely noisy, with many people talking. At this time, she felt that she was extremely fragile, and she wished that Jiang Bingji and Jiang Youyao were in front of her eyes.

However, they did not come.

Thinking about it, she is now unforgivable in front of the Jiang family, and her two children should naturally be banned from visiting her. Fortunately, Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang are not unreasonable people, and they will not anger their children because of themselves. In this way, Ji Shuran feels better.

At this moment, there seemed to be some noise outside. Ji Shuran curled up nervously again, her hands and feet were tied up, which made her unable to move or run away. Since she was born, although she is not a relative of the emperor, she has never lived a hard life, let alone being replaced by someone like this. Ji Shuran thought, the Jiang family treated her so harshly, and when she went out, her elder sister Lipin would definitely find a way to take revenge on the Jiang family.

Yes, Ji Shuran still wants to go out.

At first she thought she would not have a chance to live because Liu Wencai's ghost appeared. But for some reason, Liu Wencai didn't take her away. As long as a person is not dead, the desire to survive will be extremely strong. After Ji Shuran regained her composure, she thought about how to escape.

Not to mention other things, at least her elder sister is the emperor's favorite concubine, and the Jiang family has to weigh some points if they want to move her.

The footsteps outside the door gradually became clearer, step by step, neither light nor heavy, but Ji Shuran felt that every step hit her heart hard.

There was the sound of someone talking outside.

The door opened with a "squeak".

The wind blew up the paper money on the ground, and someone walked in, wearing plain white skirt and white flowers, carrying a lantern.

It is ginger pear.

Hasn't it been a long time since there was such a title as Death of XX?
