Marriage of the Di Daughter

Xiao Deyin was escorted back to the yard by the servant girl.

She didn't know anything, and only vaguely echoed in her ears, "I don't know the identity of that mysterious person, and I can't see him every time. Some people say that he is not a person at all, otherwise why can't he see his true face."

She closed her eyes.

These days, she lied that Feng Han would stay behind closed doors, and it was simply because she heard the familiar sound of the piano that day at Shen's house, she fell ill and was in constant panic, so she hid in the mansion. Who would have thought that as soon as I went out today, and heard the news again, for a moment, I just felt as if the thing was entangled with me, covering the sky and covering the sky, and I couldn't escape?

The servant girl didn't know what happened, she thought that Xiao Deyin's wind and cold were getting worse, so she was desperate to find the doctor to get some medicine. Xiao Deyin leaned on the bed, only feeling that his body was getting cold gradually.

Who is that man? Is it a human or a ghost? Is it Xue Fangfei who is dead or a mysterious person who is alive, why does she play "Guan Shanyue" when she doesn't play anything? What if everyone knew about Beiyan's first luthier changing hands? In order to become the best one, she gave up marriage, fame and fortune, all just for the word "number one". For these two words, she did not hesitate to conspire with others to kill her best friend, for these two words, she betrayed her own heart, but now, can she not even keep this one and only?

For some reason, before Xiao Deyin's eyes, the face of Xue Fangfei in the past appeared again. The first time she saw Xue Fangfei, she was not amazed by Xue Fangfei's admirable appearance. I am just happy that Xue Fangfei and her have figured everything out and have a good understanding of Qin Yi. She was delighted to find out who she was, but the more she researched, the more frightened she became. Xue Fangfei's accomplishments in playing the piano were far higher than hers.

Although Xue Fangfei is known as a talented woman, what the world can see is only a small part. Xue Fangfei married into the Shen family, but Shen's mother didn't let her show up in public, and asked her to take care of the housework and not play the piano and read books all day long. Therefore, Xue Fangfei can't show off her piano skills, except for playing a piece with Xiao Deyin occasionally. Xiao Deyin secretly rejoiced, fortunately there was Shen's mother to stop her, if Xue Fangfei played the piano in front of people, it might appear that her reputation as the number one luthier is like a joke.

When jealousy, unwillingness, and anger quietly grew in his heart, Xiao Deyin no longer knew. She just felt that she cared more and more about Xue Fangfei. Whenever Xue Fangfei attended the banquet, she would follow her. What she was afraid of was if Xue Fangfei played the piano, what would she do? She knew that Mr. Ji Luo of Mingyi Hall secretly yearned for Shen Yurong, so she often provoked the relationship between Ji Luo and Xue Fangfei. She didn't know why she did this, she just felt that Xue Fangfei's existence always made her uneasy.

The former close friend has now become an existence that makes him uneasy, and this uneasiness has climbed to the extreme after Shen Yurong became the champion.

Shen Yurong was the number one scholar in high school, and Xue Fangfei would be the official wife from now on. In the gatherings of the wives of officials, they would occasionally play the piano and discuss the Tao, Xue Fangfei's talent could not be hidden. She is like a gem, and people can already feel that it is radiant when they see a corner of it. If they see all of it, they will not see anything else in their eyes.

Xiao Deyin is not jealous that Xue Fangfei has a husband who is both talented and beautiful, nor is she jealous of Xue Fangfei's own beauty, she doesn't care about anything, but no one can match her stubbornness in piano art.

She frantically wanted to destroy Xue Fangfei.

It's not that she has hesitated, after all, Xue Fangfei is the only one who knows her piano skills best in the past ten years. Fairy Jinghong was born in a brothel, and the sound of the piano is mostly melodious, she despises it. Only Xue Fangfei's piano sound, clear and free, is what she appreciates most.

Besides, Xue Fangfei treated her sincerely with the heart of a confidant. She is gentle and kind, every time she sees Xue Fangfei's sincere eyes, Xiao Deyin can feel her own darkness and madness.

Until one day, someone approached her and asked her if she would like to put something in Xue Fangfei's cup.

At first Xiao Deyin thought it was because she showed it too clearly, and her jealousy had already been noticed by others. But later I realized that the other party came to her only because she was Xue Fangfei's good friend and it was easier to attack her.

She pretended to decline, not being moved by gold and silver, and threatened her family members with swords, Xiao Deyin followed suit, pretending that she could not bear the humiliation, and agreed.

She has never allowed her reputation to be stained. Even if it is revealed one day, she can be said to be forced by others, not because of jealousy in her heart.

Xiao Deyin didn't know what the medicine powder was, she guessed it was poison that killed people. I don't know who Xue Fangfei offended, but this purpose also coincides with her.

That night, Xiao Deyin waited and looked at the paper bag for a long time.

She has never killed anyone, and her hands have never been stained with blood. How can the hand that caressed Qin harm someone?

But she also thought that as long as Xue Fangfei died, she would be able to end this trembling life, and she didn't have to worry about Xue Fangfei showing off her piano skills that day and comparing her to her. Otherwise, people would say, look, that person refused to marry and gave up the chance to enter the palace. He only wanted to be the number one luthier, but he was still compared to others.

She doesn't want to be ridiculed, she is willing to be the first luthier forever.

So Xiao Deyin put something in Xue Fangfei's drink. Everything was done according to the method the mysterious man told her, but she didn't expect that the medicine powder was not poison at all, but something more poisonous than poison. Even compared with Xue Fangfei's next encounter, death is an easy thing.

Xue Fangfei's reputation was ruined when she was discovered to have had an affair with others. She mixed in the crowd, seeing her friend showing bewildered eyes, being despised and disgusted by others, Xiao Deyin thought she would feel guilty because of this, but she was surprised to find that at that moment, her heart was only happy.

She suddenly understood at that time, yes, she hated Xue Fangfei, she was jealous of Xue Fangfei, she was jealous that she had everything, and Qin Yi. Jealous of her being blessed by nature, being able to become someone she will never be.

She turned and left.

From then on, Xiao Deyin never stepped into Shen's house. Others said it was because of Mr. Xiao's noble character and he didn't want to associate with filthy people, but only Xiao Deyin knew that she was just guilty.

Xue Fangfei is extremely intelligent, and she will soon figure out what is suspicious about her. She didn't want to confront Xue Fangfei face to face, it would make Xiao Deyin see clearly that she was such an unbearable and ugly villain in her heart.

Time passed gradually, until one day, when the news of Xue Fangfei's death came, Xiao Deyin was greatly relieved. In this way, no one would find out that he had given Xue Fangfei the medicine. Her darkness and jealousy will disappear with Xue Fangfei's death. She is still the gentle and noble first luthier, and she will not worry about becoming a joke one day.

Xiao Deyin didn't care who was the one who ordered her to give the medicine. Since the other party has already succeeded, they will not pursue it any further. This matter is well known, the dead Xue Fangfei knew it, and no one knew it anymore.

However, Shen's "Guan Shanyue", today's "Guan Shanyue", reminded her of the fact that she deliberately forgot. Reminding her of what she did back then, the uneasiness that someone would take everything away at any time reappeared. What was different from before was that now she was still carrying a life debt.

For a moment, she was bewildered and didn't know what to do.

...

At the beginning of the new year, most people in Yanjing City are cheerful. There are very few people who are frowning and sullen, Xiao Deyin is one of them, and the master of the princess mansion is also one of them.

Princess Yongning was sitting in the hall, and the maid on one side was playing the piano. The sound of the piano was beautiful and clear, but Princess Yongning made an appointment to listen to it, the more depressed she felt, and she couldn't help showing a little depressed expression on her face. Seeing this, Mei Xiang signaled the maid to stop playing and go out quickly. After the maid went out, the hall returned to silence.

There are fresh fruits and snacks on the table, but Princess Yongning lacks interest. She went to Shen's house for a banquet a few days ago, thinking of taking the opportunity to get closer to Shen Yurong, but she didn't expect that Shen Yurong not only didn't look happy, but also vaguely accused her.

She knew that the rumors about the Tongxiang case hadn't been completely subsided yet, but it was really not Princess Yongning's temperament to restrain her hands because of this. The more cautious Shen Yurong is, the more aura Princess Yongning will be. If he really loves himself, how can he care about these things, and naturally he will be with himself despite all difficulties and obstacles. But looking at Shen Yurong's appearance now, it is clear that he will not decide to pass the door by himself until everything is safe.

This is beyond his control. Princess Yongning's eyebrows showed impatience, she wanted to tell Concubine Liu about this, but Concubine Liu didn't value Shen Yurong very much, and she might not agree. You can only tell King Cheng that King Cheng admires Shen Yurong very much, and if King Cheng is there to help, this matter should be possible.

Princess Yongning thought of this, and stood up: "I'm going to Chengwangfu."

Mei Xiang hurriedly followed.

...

Tong'er came back in the afternoon, and Bai Xue came back in the evening. The two maids left the house one after the other, fearing that it would arouse suspicion, they only said to the outside world to buy the things the girl needed.

After returning to the yard, Tong Er closed the doors and windows tightly first, and said: "Girl, everything is going well. Mr. Xiao really did what the girl expected. After hearing what passers-by said, he immediately returned to the mansion and never came out again." .The slaves are hiding in the dark, and seeing the maids in their mansion come out to find the doctor to get medicine, it seems that Mr. Xiao is suffering from a cold."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "You did a good job."

She asked Tong'er to bribe a few strangers with money, and let people play "Guan Shanyue" at the place where Xiao Deyin must go out, and then let people pretend to have unintentional conversations, which Xiao Deyin heard. Xiao Deyin had ghosts in his heart, so he would naturally be startled and frightened, showing off his feet. To provoke the relationship between Xiao Deyin and Princess Yongning, she had to collapse herself first.

But now that Xiao Deyin has been proved step by step that he really helped the tyrant in the matter of his previous life and death, Jiang Li still has some indescribable feelings. After all, she thinks she has nothing to do to Xiao Deyin, and Xiao Deyin is really hard-hearted if she kills her friend just because she wants to compete for the title of number one luthier. Besides, for Xue Fangfei herself, she never thought about competing for a title.

Although Tong Er did what Jiang Li said, she was a little puzzled. There seemed to be no dispute between Jiang Li and Xiao Deyin, so she asked, "Why did the girl do this? Has Mr. Xiao done anything?"

"She once harmed someone," Jiang Li said, "All I did was to help her recall the sins she committed. Otherwise, after a long time, she would have forgotten it herself, and thought she was really pure and beautiful." a good life."

Tong'er was surprised: "Mr. Xiao has hurt people?! You really can't see it!"

That's right, who can tell, after all, a person who has no desires and desires takes the initiative to harm others, and no one will believe it if he tells it. Xue Fangfei, who is a close friend, didn't notice it, let alone an outsider.

Just after saying this, someone knocked on the door outside, and Bai Xue's voice sounded: "Is the girl in the house? The servant girl is back."

Tong'er quickly opened the door, and Bai Xue came in. She ran for about a day, and it was a winter day, and there were some fine beads of sweat on her forehead. She just looked at Jiang Li with apologetic eyes, and said: "Girl, I have run all over the famous drugstores in Yanjing City, but there is no such medicine." She said: "After all, it is eye-catching. Covering his face with a bamboo hat, he dared not go back directly to the mansion, and walked around outside for quite a while before returning."

This was expected by Jiang Li, she said: "So, thank you for your hard work."

"Girl, why don't you go to another place? There is no pharmacy, maybe this kind of medicine is in the hands of some famous doctors. After all, it is a folk prescription..."

"The folk remedies have not been verified, so they are guaranteed. If there is a danger of life, someone must investigate thoroughly. If we are found, it will be wrong." Jiang Li shook her head. That's it, Bai Xue, you've been running for a day, go to rest now."

Bai Xue nodded, and Tong'er looked curiously at Bai Xue, then at Jiang Li. She didn't know what Jiang Li told Bai Xue to do, but she didn't ask much, and soon left the house with Bai Xue.

Jiang Li stayed in the house alone and sighed. Tong'er's side went smoothly, but Baixue's side was very difficult. That's right, it's not easy to do these things. She can't move around the power of the Jiang Mansion, otherwise Jiang Yuanbai will find out what she has done, and she doesn't know how to answer when asked.

Jiang Youyao hasn't found her whereabouts yet, Jiang Yuanbai's mood is already very bad, she can't cause Jiang Yuanbai any more trouble at this juncture, it will be bad for herself.

Thinking about it, I didn't realize that it was getting dark. Jiang Li looked at the sky, it was already night, there was no sound of people outside, she wanted to reach out and close the window, the wind blowing out the lights on the table, suddenly heard someone's footsteps.

In the silence, the footsteps were neither heavy nor heavy, neither fast nor slow, as if with magical power, causing people to involuntarily look at the sound of the pursuer.

A bewitching face appeared in front of the window, his red clothes were covered with black and gold butterflies, gorgeous and eerie.

"Master Guo?" Jiang Li looked at him in surprise, but in this surprise, she no longer panicked at the beginning. It's like finding a wild animal that accidentally broke into the house at night, and it's over after a moment of surprise.

He walked to the window, and the next moment, he appeared in the room. Jiang Li couldn't even see his movements clearly, but felt the red dress flash in front of his eyes. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to close the window tightly, fearing that others would see and hear the movement here and cause suspicion.

The young man sat down in front of the small table in the room as if he knew him very well, poured tea, drank it, and asked by the way, "I heard that your maid is all over Yanjing today looking for a medicine that can cause false pregnancy. What, you Who do you want to use it on?" He looked at Jiang Li and said teasingly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to use it yourself."

Jiang Li paused, and said in her heart that it was so fast. It was only a few hours after Bai Xue came back, and Ji Heng's men knew about it immediately. In this world, it is obviously easiest to borrow Ji Heng's power, so why should she be so bitter to do it herself. But there was no other way, she was still shameless, and she was embarrassed to ask Ji Heng to help her again and again.

"It was used on Princess Yongning." After a pause, Jiang Li said.

Ji Heng stopped drinking tea and looked at her, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"I know." Jiang Li smiled and said: "I know better than anyone else. I think the time has come now, and if I continue to delay like this, I won't be able to wait. I really want to end this matter as soon as possible. Princess Yongning loves Shen Yurong deeply. , no matter how dissatisfied she is in her heart, she will still back down for Shen Yurong in the end, or in other words, Shen Yurong can coax her to this point. If this continues, it will take a few more years."

"That's not okay, I have to help them." Her voice was calm and gentle.

Ji Heng looked at her, she used to hide a lot, but now she hardly hides it from him. Except for the secret in her heart, she almost told all the rest, as if she trusted herself very much.

"Oh, then did you find the medicine you were looking for?" Ji Heng asked

Jiang Li shook her head: "No, it's not easy."

"Even if you find it, it's not easy for you to get close to Yongning and get her to take medicine."

Jiang Li smiled: "Of course I know, so I'm still thinking about countermeasures."

"You should know," he said while playing with the folding fan, "I can help you."

Jiang Li was slightly startled, then smiled, shook her head and said: "The Duke has helped me a lot, and this matter is also risky. Princess Yongning is behind King Cheng, if the Duke is found... "

"Then you underestimate me," he said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "If I do it, no one will find out."

"Then what price do I have to pay?" Jiang Li smiled sincerely, "I thought about it, and there is nothing in my whole body that is worthy of the Duke's plan. This deal is not a big deal for the Duke. It's a good deal. If the Duke of the country helps me, I will pay more than I get. I really don't have the face to take advantage of you again."

These words were so high-sounding that Ji Heng couldn't find any words to refute. He stared at Jiang Li's eyes, and narrowed his beautiful eyes, "I found that you are not suitable to be a profiteer. Your conscience is really useless."

"Could it be that in the eyes of the Duke, am I a person without a conscience?" Jiang Li also laughed.

"At first I thought so, but now it seems that I was wrong." Ji Heng said leisurely, "You can be regarded as a good person."

When he first met her, it was at the nunnery in Qingcheng Mountain. He saw her well-arranged and deceived everyone. A drop of tears will achieve your goal. The teenage girl was not bad at all in scheming, as if she had come out of a fight under the shadow of swords and swords. At that time, he knew that the little girl was not a kind person.

Afterwards, she went back to Yanjing by mistake and saw her dealing with her stepmother, her concubine sister, and her fiancé who had ulterior motives. Without the slightest fear, he always messes up other people's chess with a slight smile. She went back to Tongxiang, dealt with the case of the Xue family, faced Feng Yutang's persecution, and faced Princess Yongning's pursuit, but she was just luring others into a trap.

He could see the cruel heart under her gentle appearance, but sometimes Ji Heng thought that Jiang Li was not a heartless girl. She can help Xue Huaiyuan, she can argue for other people's affairs, her soft blessing and protection on New Year's Eve, and at this moment she gives in because of guilt, and she is unwilling to let others give blindly.

Sometimes Ji Heng can feel her kindness. The combination of her gentleness and her coldness makes her contradictory and attractive, and people can't help but pay attention. She seemed to try her best to get rid of some things and make herself grow into another person, but the imprint in her bones remained deeply.

She may not have noticed the change in herself.

"What the Duke said coincides with what I think." She looked at Ji Heng and smiled slightly, "At first I also thought that the Duke was very ruthless, but now it seems that I was wrong. gone."

"No one in the world has ever said that I am a good person." Ji Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Then I'll be the first." She smiled.

For some reason, she seems to be much quieter now than before. Surprise flashed in Ji Heng's heart, and he said: "No one can do Situ's refining medicine. She can make the fake pregnancy medicine you mentioned."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and Ji Heng said again: "I can also be shot, and Yongning can take this medicine. But there are no free gifts in this world."

Jiang Li said: "It's okay for the Duke of the country to say."

"King Cheng will raise an incident soon, and the Jiang family needs to disperse part of King Cheng's attention."

Jiang Li was surprised: "So fast?"

"Hurry up?" Ji Heng smiled, "It's already too late for him."

Jiang Li replied: "I know. Even if the Duke doesn't explain, once Cheng Wang raises an issue, his father will deal with Cheng Wang. Cheng Wang originally regarded the Jiang family as a thorn in his side, and once he succeeded, he must liquidate the Jiang family. For his own sake Paul, Father will not stand by and watch."

"Besides, the Jiang family needs to target the emperor and take various actions to make people think that the Jiang family is not satisfied with the status quo and has ambitions."

This time, Jiang Li was really stunned, she asked: "Why?"

"You will understand when the time comes, all you need to do now is to do this." Ji Heng smiled suddenly. There was something unclear in his smile, but it made the outline of the whole person very vivid and handsome. He said: "This Once, I'll invite you to a play."

Jiang Li stared at him, vaguely feeling that what Ji Heng was going to do next was no more horrifying than what she had done with Yongning. It's just that she also knows that she can't ask too much, this is not something she can ask.

"Your roast venison is very good." Ji Heng said: "If you have free time, you can come to the house and roast more."

Jiangli: "..."

She really wanted to say no, but just now she got help from others, so she couldn't justify her rejection like this, so she could only say "yes" with a sullen head.

Ji Heng seemed to be amused by her attitude, Jiang Li looked at his smile, suddenly remembered another thing, and said quickly: "Speaking of which, the Duke of the Kingdom knows that Jiang Youyao escaped from the house ?”

"Jiang Youyao?" Ji Heng frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know, I don't care."

That's right, for a person like Ji Heng, there's no need to inquire about matters that he doesn't care about. Jiang Li said: "The maid beside Jiang Youyao said that Jiang Youyao escaped to go to Ji's house. But the other side of Ji's house said that Jiang Youyao had never been there - Ji's family can't afford to lie about this. Father also went to Ningyuan Hou's mansion After asking, Jiang Youyao is not in Ningyuan Hou's residence either. She has already reported to the officials, although she did not publicize it, but the search has not stopped, but there has been no news for so long."

Hearing this, Ji Heng already understood, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean, you want me to help you find Jiang Youyao's whereabouts." He glanced at Jiang Li, "How kind are you?"

"That's not the case," Jiang Li just thought it was funny, "Although I'm not a bad person, I never thought of revenge with virtue. I just want to know Jiang Youyao's whereabouts. If she lives well and doesn't involve the Jiang family, I don't bother." Go look for her. If she might cause trouble for the Jiang family, it's better for father to bring her back as soon as possible. With her ability to cause trouble, I don't think it's wise to let her go outside. "

This is true, the current situation is complicated, if someone uses Jiang Youyao as a hacker to attack the Jiang family, it will be a disaster. Jiang Li thought to herself, since Ji Heng has been invited to help with the Yongning matter, it is better to ask Ji Heng to help with this matter as well.

"Yes," Ji Heng nodded and said, "If there is any news about her, I will let Zhao Ke inform you."

"Thank you, Lord Guo." Jiang Li thanked.

"You don't have to thank me, by the way," he said, "That maid named Haitang has completely healed her face. This appearance is not suitable for walking outside, otherwise it will be easy to be spotted by Yongning's people. If you want to see her, come to the country The government. If you have anything to say, let Zhao Ke pass it on."

When Jiang Li heard it, she was overjoyed for a moment, which is really a good thing. Begonia regained its appearance! This maid who suffered such bad luck because of her finally found something she had lost. This relieved Jiang Li's guilt a lot.

The joy on her face could not be concealed, Ji Heng had a panoramic view, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Are you happy?"

"Very happy." Jiang Li said, "Thank you very much, Lord Guo. I want to go and see Haitang tomorrow, is that okay?"

She looked at Ji Heng with clear eyes, showing sincere yearning, Ji Heng turned her head away and said, "Yes."

After a pause, he said, "You can also look at Xiaohong."

Little Red? Jiang Li was taken aback, who is Xiaohong? She has never heard of this name, is it someone she knows?

Before she could ask, Ji Heng had already stood up and left from the window.
