Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 204 Homecoming

Ji Heng's carriage went directly to the Duke's Mansion. After arriving at the Duke's Mansion, Ji Heng, Lu Ji, and Wen Renyao all got out of the carriage, and Lin Yao was also taken away by Wen Renyao. Wen Ji and Zhao Ke continued to drive. The carriage went to Jiang's mansion.

This relieved Jiang Li, at least it was easier to deal with Jiang Yuanbai.

When the carriage drove to the gate of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Li got out of the carriage. The concierge was still a little puzzled at first, but when he saw Jiang Li's face clearly, he stuttered in surprise: "Second, Second Miss!"

Jiang Li smiled and nodded at him: "Yes, I'm back."

The news of Jiang Li's return immediately spread throughout Jiang's residence. In the Wanfeng Hall, Mrs. Jiang and the people from the second room have all arrived. As soon as Lu Shi saw Jiang Li, he took Jiang Li's hand and said: "Xiao Li, you are back. These days, Second Aunt can't sleep well every night. I am really worried!"

Her words were really exaggerated, but there was also a little sincerity, Jiang Li smiled and patted her hand: "I'm fine, Second Aunt."

Jiang Jingrui asked: "I heard that you went to Huangzhou. How did you get there? Who saved you? I asked my father and uncle, but they refused to tell me, Jiang Li, what's going on?"

Jiang Li knew it well, Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping did not tell others about it. But Mrs. Jiang probably knew the inside story, because she was not as confused as Jiang Jingrui, but just asked: "There is a war in Huangzhou, Er girl, are you injured? Did those thieves hurt you?"

"No." Jiang Li said: "The defenders of Huangzhou have been confronting King Cheng's soldiers and horses. Those soldiers and horses failed to enter the city, but they are very safe."

"But I heard," it was Jiang Jingyou who spoke this time, and he looked at Jiang Li, "the people who became the king burned and looted in Huangzhou City, and many people died."

This can't be hidden, Jiang Li said: "There are indeed such people, but I'm probably lucky, so I didn't meet them and escaped safely."

"Are you being protected by someone?" Jiang Jingrui approached and said, "So you are safe and sound, who is that person? They can save you from the man who became a king, which shows that he is capable. You tell him Name, uncle can also come to thank others."

Jiang Li laughed in his heart, Jiang Yuanbai knew that Ji Heng had saved him, and perhaps his first reaction was not to be full of gratitude, but to doubt Ji Heng's intentions. The Duke's Mansion had no contact with the Jiang family, and it could even be said that Ji Heng replaced Jiang Yuanbai and moved closer and closer to Emperor Hong Xiao. Jiang Yuanbai might still suspect that Ji Heng was provoking something.

While talking, a voice suddenly sounded outside: "Ali."

Looking back, it was Jiang Yuanbai who hurried back. He was in the Wanfeng Hall just now, but he didn't show up, he should have been outside, and rushed here in a hurry after getting the news of Jiang Li's return home. Jiang Li called "Father", he looked at Jiang Li, then looked around, and said, "Come with me to the study."

Mrs. Jiang nodded to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li followed Jiang Yuanbai to the study. As soon as he arrived at the study room, after the door was closed, Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li and said, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Jiang Li shook her head.

Jiang Yuanbai confirmed for a while, and he seemed to be a little relieved when he saw that Jiang Li did not have any signs of injury. Immediately afterwards, he asked: "What the hell is going on? How did those people take you out of Yanjing and bring you to Huangzhou? How did Lord Su know that you were taken captive to Huangzhou and rescued you?" ?”

When Wen Renyao wrote the letter to Jiang Yuanbai and Ye's family, he was very vague, and he didn't write very carefully about Jiang Li's specific situation. Looking at Jiang Yuanbai's confused appearance, it was obvious that he didn't know what it was. what's the matter. Jiang Li sat down and explained how she was disguised by those people after she separated from Bai Xue on the street that day, and got out of Yanjing.

"They clearly came prepared. They planned to take me to Huangzhou from the very beginning, so they did it methodically and caught people off guard. When people found out that I was missing, I had already been taken out of the city. At this time Go after it, it's too late."

She also mentioned that those people took her all the way to Huangzhou, and Jiang Li omitted the statement that she saw Ji Heng's sedan chair outside the tavern and asked Ji Heng for help. This will inevitably arouse Jiang Yuanbai's suspicion. Firstly, Jiang Li is so familiar with Ji Heng that he can recognize his sedan chair at a glance; How could Ji Heng take the initiative to answer Jiang Li's plea for help?

"Later, when I was at the inn, that woman wanted to beat me up. I struggled desperately. Maybe I was seen by Duke Su's guards passing by. At the palace banquet before, those two guards had seen me and knew I presumably told Su Guogong about my identity, and Su Guogong saved me." She smiled and looked at Jiang Yuanbai: "Father, Su Guogong is a good man, he saved my life, we should thank him .”

"Good guy?" Jiang Yuanbai laughed, and looked at Jiang Li: "You are young and ignorant, Ji Heng is not a kind person. I'm afraid he has other bargaining chips, but he just used you as a cover."

Jiang Li listened quietly, Jiang Yuanbai's reaction was within her expectation. If it were herself, if Ji Heng hadn't helped her again and again, if she hadn't been with him often, in Jiang Li's eyes, Ji Heng would have been such a treacherous, ruthless person.

"However," Jiang Yuanbai changed the subject, "he saved your life after all, so thanks should be something to be thankful for, but you don't want to go, just thank you for your father."

He was still afraid of unnecessary contact between Jiang Li and Ji Heng. This may be due to Jiang Yuanbai's protection of the Jiang family's interests, and Jiang Yuanbai's concern for his daughter. Although he is not a good father to the real Second Miss Jiang, he is not completely indifferent.

Jiang Li nodded.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiangli, the girl's appearance was clear and lovely, and she became more and more delicate and beautiful. Soon, she will also celebrate her sixteenth birthday, which is the best time for a girl. Too many things have happened in the past six months, but Jiangli's status in the Jiang family is completely different. Of course it was because they discovered the truth, but it was also because this daughter didn't think of herself, nor was she like Ye Zhenzhen. She was smart and knew how to advance and retreat.

He remembered that some of his colleagues had inquired about this daughter on the sidelines, although they stopped temporarily because of Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao's affairs. However, gentlemen like my fair lady are so cute, if this mediocre lady is also the lady of the chief assistant's family, more people will naturally love her.

He thought of the gentle and handsome man he had seen a few days ago. He spoke well, with a hint of righteousness in his brows, and was extremely comfortable with him. In fact, he should be a good match, and Jiang Yuanbai himself liked it very much. It's just that it was an eventful time, and King Cheng was in it, the Jiang family was too busy to take care of themselves, and they couldn't see clearly the next changes, and Jiang Yuanbai didn't dare to make a decision lightly.

But that person... is much better than that moody and unpredictable Su Guogong.

"Ali..." Jiang Yuanbai couldn't help but said: "Mr. Su has a beautiful face and power in the government, but he is not a good match...you...don't have any thoughts about him."

He was just reminding that these words were spoken to his daughter by his father, and Jiang Yuanbai himself felt uncomfortable, but now there is no headed mistress in the big house of Jiang's mansion, and no one came to say these words to Jiang Li. Mrs. Lu had no one to tell the truth, Mrs. Jiang was getting older, so Jiang Yuanbai could only speak by himself.

Jiang Li's heart trembled, but a faint smile floated on her face, she said: "I don't need my father to tell me."

Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li's expression, and saw that when she said this, her eyes were calm, not like a lie, so she was relieved.

Jiang Li asked: "Father, why didn't you see the third uncle, third aunt, or fourth sister in the Wanfeng Hall today?"

In the Wanfeng Hall, almost everyone was present, except for the third bedroom. This is strange, even though the relationship between Sanfang and Dafang and Erfang is not considered close on weekdays, the Sanfang always has to be present for such a thing. But no one was seen, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Jiang were also accustomed to the appearance, which made Jiang Li puzzled.

Jiang Yuanbo paused, and then said: "The family is separated."

"Separation?" Jiang Li was surprised, "Why did you suddenly separate?"

Jiang Yuanbai sneered: "This time you were taken away suddenly, I'm afraid it's the people from the third room. They tried to tell King Cheng about your whereabouts, so that King Cheng could design a plan for you on the only way to Ye's house." Take you away. The people in their third house have evil intentions, and it would be a disaster to keep them, so your grandmother will let the family split."

"In such a short period of time, is it good?" Jiang Li asked.

"It's just a bastard, so there's no need to bother dividing the family. There's no need to ask the clan to preside over it. After all these years, without the Jiang family, they can't do anything, and naturally they can't take anything with them."

Jiang Yuanbai's attitude has never been tougher than before. Jiang Li remembers that when he first entered Jiang's house, Jiang Yuanbai was not as close to Jiang Yuanping as he was to Sanfang, but he was still polite. Now that he looks like this, he is clearly an enemy. . It can be seen how annoyed Jiang Yuanxing did.

Jiang Li thought for a while, and then said: "That's fine, the third uncle and the others have connections with King Cheng, so it can be said that they have taken refuge in King Cheng. Now is the critical time. If they don't separate their families, they will inevitably be traced in the future. We are also going to be implicated. The clean separation of the family also shows the emperor that the Jiang family has no second thoughts towards the emperor, and it is even more impossible for them to join forces with King Cheng."

Jiang Yuanbai sighed: "I think so too."

"Speaking of which," Jiang Li thought of something, and said, "My uncle doesn't know the news of my return to the mansion. I want to go to Ye's mansion to see my uncle and cousin later, and tell them that I'm back."

"no."

complete! Isn't it cool to watch it in one go!
