Marriage of the Di Daughter

That night, after Jiangli returned to Jiang's mansion, it was just before dawn. Tong'er and Baixue waited for her for a long time, seeing that she came back so late for the first time and was still in a state of anxiety, they were relieved to bring Jiang Li back safely. Afterwards, let Jiang Li collapse to rest and have a good sleep.

This sleep lasted until the sun was above noon the next day. When Jiang Li woke up, she was refreshed. Tong'er and Bai Xue were surprised to find that in her smile, the previous thoughts seemed to be swept away, and she looked extraordinarily bright and bright. People watched, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Tong Er still remembered what Jiang Li said last night, when Jiang Li started to eat after grooming, she asked Jiang Li: "Girl, when shall we leave Yanjing City?"

When Jiang Li went to the Duke's Mansion last night, she said that she was going to say goodbye to Ji Heng. Since she was going to leave Yanjing City, she had to plan everything in advance. The celebration banquet would start soon, as long as His Majesty gave Jiang Li and Yin Zhili a marriage at that time, if Jiang Li ran away at that time, he would implicate the Jiang family and be charged with resisting the decree. Right now, if you run ahead of time, you don't need to trouble others.

"Not going." Jiang Li said.

Bai Xue and Tong'er looked at each other, and Bai Xue quickly guessed that maybe it was Ji Heng who changed Jiang Li's mind. Bai Xue looked at Jiang Li, and asked cautiously, "Is there a way for the Duke?"

In Jiang Li's mind, the picture of him kissing himself last night and what he said, "Little girl, would you like to marry me?" Jiang Li's face turned red suddenly, He nodded as if nothing had happened, and said, "So there is no need to leave."

Although she didn't say anything, when the two servant girls saw her expression, their hearts clicked, and they suddenly understood a little. When Jiang Li was rarely shy, most of the time, she was generous. When facing Yin Zhili, even if she knew that the other party wanted to marry her, she didn't show anything special. However, Ji Heng was only mentioned today, and she became like this, which shows what happened last night.

The two servant girls were both happy and worried. They were happy because their girls were happy, and of course they were also happy for Jiang Li. What they were worried about was that they must not do anything out of the ordinary. You must know that Princess Yongning is a living example.

Jiang Li didn't know what the two maids were thinking. She was not only happy that Ji Heng liked her, but even more happy to see that A Zhao was still alive. Azhao is still alive in this world, for her, it is already a special grace from God. The acquaintance with Ah Zhao also went smoothly and unbelievably. She thought that after becoming Jiangli, she had nothing but a strange identity. I didn't have any hope at first, but I found my father first, and now I know that A Zhao is still alive. Although everyone is not as good as before, his father is much older, and A Zhao can no longer stand up, but what else is there? What is more joyful than a family reunion?

She can't go to the Duke's Mansion openly and aboveboard during the day, but Ye Mansion is still possible. A few days ago, because of Cheng Wang's relationship, Jiang Yuanbai didn't let Jiang Li go out alone, even going to Ye Mansion. Now that King Cheng's rebels have all been wiped out by Yin Zhanqing, Yanjing City is not in danger, so she can naturally go out of the house.

Jiang Li finished her meal, took a short rest, and said, "I'll go to Wanfengtang to find the old lady."

Bai Xue asked: "What can you do with the old lady?"

"I think the gate control of the Jiang family should be unlocked by now, I have to go to Yefu."

Afterwards, Jiang Li went to Wanfengtang to talk to Mrs. Jiang. Since she opened up with Ji Heng last night and saw A Zhao again, Jiang Li was in a better mood than ever before. The previous resistance to the members of the Jiang family because of the Yin family matter also dissipated. She smiled softly and sincerely, and Mrs. Jiang was also taken aback when she saw it. Mrs. Jiang knows that although this granddaughter looks well-behaved and sensible, she is actually very stubborn, but today she seems to have removed all her armor, and she is incredibly soft. Facing Jiang Li like this, Mrs. Jiang's heart softened a bit. When Jiang Li said that she wanted to go to Ye's house in the next few days, Mrs. Jiang agreed without thinking.

Jiang Li got Mrs. Jiang's consent, and talked to Mrs. Jiang for a while, and was about to leave, but before she left, she was stopped by Mrs. Jiang again.

Mrs. Jiang said to her: "Second girl, don't bear any grudges against us, you are a girl from the Jiang family, and the Jiang family will only do you good."

The smile on Jiang Li's face faded a little. If Tong'er hadn't overheard the conversation between Jiang Yuanbai and Mrs. Jiang before, Jiang Li wouldn't take what she said at this moment to heart, but after knowing the inside story, Jiang Li would I know that Mrs. Jiang is paving the way for the marriage to be given later.

The Jiang family can't say they don't value Miss Jiang Li, at least in their opinion, Yin Zhili has no shortcomings and is a good match, but the most important difference between the Jiang family and the Xue family is that Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao will respect her, even if the other party Well, if Xue Fangfei doesn't like it, they won't force it.

This is roughly the difference between ordinary people and official families.

Jiang Li smiled, bid farewell to Mrs. Jiang politely, and walked out of the gate of Wanfeng Hall.

Mrs. Jiang sighed and said nothing more.

...

In the Duke's mansion, Xue Zhao's identity seemed to be known to everyone overnight.

"So you are Xue Fangfei's younger brother." Situ Jiuyue suddenly realized, "No wonder your enemy is Princess Yongning."

"I didn't tell Dr. Situ at the time, because the situation forced me to tell him hastily, for fear of hurting Dr. Situ." Xue Zhao said with an embarrassed smile.

"You don't have to tell me this, it's useless if you tell me, and I won't avenge you. But..." She asked suspiciously, "You and Jiang Li have met before? Otherwise, how would she recognize you?"

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew that Ah Zhao's surname was Xue, and that he was Xue Fangfei's younger brother, but they didn't know that Jiang Li was Xue Fangfei. Maybe Ji Heng was the only one in the world who knew this secret except Xue Zhao. Of course Ji Heng would not tell this secret.

Xue Zhaodao: "She...she has some relationship with our Xue family, so she also met me."

Situ Jiuyue didn't doubt that he was there, and she didn't like to inquire about people's secrets, so she believed what Xue Zhao said, and said: "I have already seen that she has a very close relationship with your Xue family, otherwise how can I be alone?" Treating the Xue family differently, taking revenge and rehabilitating him, he has done a lot."

In the eyes of others, it is incomprehensible for Jiang Li to do these things for the Xue family, and only Xue Zhao knows the reason. He said: "I heard that Doctor Situ also saved my father...Thank you, Doctor Situ."

"I didn't save your father," Situ Jiuyue said, "it was Jiang Li who saved him. I just let him regain his sanity. I thought it would be better for him not to regain his sanity. After all, it is very painful to live soberly." , if Jiang Li didn't insist, I wouldn't have given him treatment. But now it seems that Jiang Li did the right thing. Your father was tough and didn't get depressed because of the pain. Not only did he take revenge, but he could see you again. Son, it's a blessing."

Xue Zhao smiled and said, "Anyway, without Dr. Xiang, there would be no present father. Dr. Situ's kindness, our Xue family will never forget it."

Situ Jiuyue sneered, disapproving, as if he didn't take Xue Zhao's words to heart. In her whole life, she has killed more people than she has saved. It would be really tiring if she took everyone's words to heart. With her attitude, Xue Zhao was not angry, but suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Doctor Situ, there is something I'm curious about."

"What else are you curious about?"

"Duke Su and the second miss of the Jiang family... are you on good terms?" Xue Zhao asked.

When Situ Jiuyue heard the words, he paused first, and then looked at Xue Zhao. The young man's gaze was fixed on him, showing nervousness and curiosity, as if he really cared about the answer. For some reason, Situ Jiuyue suddenly felt a little bored in her heart. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you care about this? What's the relationship between Jiang Li and Ji Heng, and what does it have to do with you?"

"I'm just curious." Xue Zhao was startled by Situ Jiuyue's sarcastic words, and said aggrievedly. Although this Doctor Situ was cold, there was nothing wrong with treating him every time, but Xue Zhao could clearly feel that the other party was angry.

Although he didn't know why Situ Jiuyue was suddenly angry.

Xue Zhao was just very strange. It was clearly a coincidence that Jiang Li met her last night, so it means that the purpose of her coming to the Duke's Mansion was to find Ji Heng. It seemed that Ji Heng knew that she was Xue Fangfei. If he didn't trust someone, how could he do this? But how could Ji Heng gain Jiang Li's trust? Xue Zhao couldn't help thinking of Ji Heng holding Jiang Li's hand, and the unique tenderness towards her in his words.

The original elder sister had the appearance of overwhelming the country, so it is no problem for men from all over the world to succeed her. Today's elder sister...the appearance is not as good as before, but...can she still subdue a man like Su Guogong?

Xue Zhao didn't know if he was still thinking about these inexplicable things because his injury hadn't healed yet. However, Situ Jiuyue saw his dazed appearance, and felt even more depressed. Situ Jiuyue packed the medicine box very quickly, gave him a blank look, turned and walked out of the room.

Zhao Ke happened to come looking for Xue Zhao, saw Xue Zhao in the house, and said, "Ah Zhao, my lord told me to find you." He walked around behind Xue Zhao, pushed Xue Zhao's wheelchair, and walked out of the house.

Zhao Ke was also bitter in his heart, he didn't know that Ah Zhao was the young master of the Xue family, and he only found out after last night. One must know that Second Miss Jiang treats even Haitang, the maid of the Jiang family, differently, which shows how important the young master of the Xue family is to her. But he yelled at Xue Zhao in front of Jiang Li, what would he do if Jiang Li became dissatisfied with him and sued in front of Ji Heng.

He had to please Xue Zhao first, and make up for it.

He had a kind baby face, which made Xue Zhao feel a little embarrassed, and said, "I'll just push it myself."

"Azhao... what are you talking about, Young Master Xue, it's not convenient for you to be injured." Zhao Ke replied with a smile.

Xue Zhao was also dumbfounded when he called him "Master Xue", and when he came back to his senses, Zhao Ke had already pushed him to Ji Heng by galloping all the way.

Ji Heng was in front of the flower garden, with the noisy starling on his shoulder, when he saw Xue Zhao, he opened his beak and blurted out "fool".

Xue Zhao: "..."

"You're here." Ji Heng turned to look at him, handed him a letter casually, and said, "Ari's letter to you."

When Xue Zhao heard the word "A Li", he was startled again. This was Jiang Li's baby name, and Xue Huaiyuan called him that. Even if it was Shen Yurong, Xue Zhao had never heard Shen Yurong call Jiang Li like that, and Xue Zhao really didn't know what to do when Su Guogong called him out.

"Idiot!" Xiaohong screamed, and Xue Zhao was brought back to his senses. Xue Zhao opened the letter, and after reading it, his face couldn't restrain his excitement, and said: "Sister asked me to go to Yemen together tomorrow." See you at home!"

Zhao Ke on the side accidentally heard this sentence, and wondered in his heart, why did this kid call Miss Jiang Er "sister" after only one night? The ability to connect relatives and tell stories is really too strong.

Ji Heng nodded and said, "Let Zhao Ke take you there tomorrow."

"Thank you, sir." Xue Zhaocheng said sincerely, and couldn't help looking at Jiheng again. Perhaps because he knew that Ji Heng and Jiang Li had a very close relationship, Xue Zhao looked at Ji Heng with some scrutiny. Seeing that this young man is very good-looking even in red clothes, and his face is gorgeous and coquettish. Qi, although restrained, is a bit arrogant after all.

In terms of aura, he is much taller than Shen Yurong, and also in appearance. As for the kung fu of dancing and writing, Xue Zhao didn't like it, so he didn't think it was an advantage. Martial arts... Tsk, Xue Zhao's eyes fell on the gorgeous folding fan in his hand. There are many mysteries in this fan.

"What do you see me doing?" Ji Heng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"My lord... what is the relationship with my sister?" Xue Zhao thought for a long time, and decided to ask straightforwardly. He had an intuition that this Ji Heng is not a roundabout person. If you ask something, he will tell you directly. You answer, this can be said to be frank, it can also be said to be conceited.

"What's the relationship?" The young man closed his fan, and the gorgeous golden peony disappeared in an instant. He saw only one piece that fit perfectly. He pondered for a while, and then smiled and said, "After a while, you should call me brother-in-law. This kind of relationship .”

Xue Zhao was almost choked, and Zhao Ke's scalp was numb.

He was so blunt.

...

Jiang Li and Xue Zhao made an appointment to go to Ye's house to see Xue Huaiyuan together the next day. That morning, Jiangli dressed up early in the morning. She puts on clothes and combs her hair by herself, and does not ask Tong'er to help, so Tong'er has to stand aside. After Jiang Li finished dressing up, she felt that today's Jiang Li was very different, she seemed a little brighter, or in other words, she was completely different from her past.

Probably it was my young lady who wanted to change things on a whim, but Tong'er and Bai Xue didn't take it to heart. The two helped Jiang Li out of the house and got into the carriage together. Because she had greeted Mrs. Jiang in advance, Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, she just sent a few more guards from Jiang's residence to follow the carriage, so as to avoid any accidents on the way.

In summer, the early morning is better, but at noon, it is so hot that people feel uncomfortable all over. Jiang Li left early and the sun was still relatively light, but she was excited and couldn't calm down.

When they arrived at the gate of Ye Mansion, they saw a carriage parked at the gate. Zhao Ke and Xue Zhao saw Jiang Li as soon as they arrived at Ye Mansion. When Xue Zhao saw Jiang Li, he almost blurted out: "Sister". However, he immediately stopped talking, Jiang Li is younger than him now, even if others say that he is related to relatives, it is too strange to be called "sister". She had to smile and said to Jiang Li: "Jiang...Ms. Jiang."

"Azhao." Jiang Li yelled very smoothly, she looked around, but did not see Ji Heng's shadow. Zhao Ke seemed to understand her thoughts, walked up to Jiang Li, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency is not at the house today, let me send Young Master Xue over."

Jiang Li nodded: "Thank you." But she thought in her heart that Yin Zhan didn't know what tricks she was going to play in the court, and Ji Heng had to work hard to deal with him. I think these days are very busy. So she didn't say much, just said: "Let's go in first."

In the Ye Mansion, Ye Shijie went to court. Ye Mingyu got the news that Jiang Li was coming in advance, and waited in the room early. He also knew that the Duke's Mansion was coming, so he thought it was Situ Jiuyue. A teenager in a wheelchair. He didn't know Xue Zhao's identity, but he also knew that Xue Zhao was definitely not the guard who escorted Jiang Li, and how could any guard be crippled himself. He guessed what kind of capable person this is, he only looked at Xue Zhao, and asked Jiang Li suspiciously: "A Li, this young master..."

"Master Ye." Xue Zhao took the initiative to speak, and said with a smile: "These days, from Tongxiang to Yanjing, thanks to Master Ye who protected my father, Xue Zhao also married Xue Zhao for your great kindness to our Xue family. We must report it. If Xue Zhao is useful in the future, Xue Zhao will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate to do so."

Perhaps Ye Mingyu himself seemed to be full of bandits, but when Xue Zhao talked to him, he seemed to have regained a little bit of the quack air that only a teenager had. What Ye Mingyu said was very ironic, and he cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "It's all a matter of little effort, little brother, you are welcome, just now you said...your father, the Xue family? Your father is..."

Xue Zhao was about to speak. At this time, Haitang brought tea from the yard. She was taken aback when she saw Xue Zhao, and the teapot in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang", causing everyone to turn their heads to look. Haitang didn't feel it, just looked at Xue Zhao foolishly, Xue Zhao smiled slightly: "Haitang."

"Young...young master!" Haitang cried out, "You're still alive! You're not..."

"I'm not dead." Xue Zhao said with a smile, "Miss Jiang Er rescued me."

"Young master?" Ye Mingyu finally came back to his senses at this moment, and said, "You are the young master of the Xue family?"

Ye Mingyu has lived with Xue Huaiyuan for so long, and already knows a lot about the Xue family's affairs. Knowing that Xue Huaiyuan also had a son named Xue Zhao, but he was also killed by Princess Yongning. Now this boy in a wheelchair actually claims to be Xue Zhao?

Ye Mingyu walked up to Jiang Li, tugged at Jiang Li, and asked in a low voice, "A Li, what's going on? How did you find Xue Zhao?"

"That's a long story." Jiang Li smiled slightly, "Uncle, let's go see Mr. Xue quickly. Since A Zhao is still alive, Mr. Xue must be very happy if he finds out."

Ye Mingyu nodded quickly: "That's right, let's go, let's surprise Mr. Xue and surprise him!"

In the room, Xue Huaiyuan was reading a book.

During the day, Ye Shijie went to court, and Xue Huaiyuan was reading in the room. The Ye family was not short of money, and in order to make Ye Shijie promising, he had collected a large pile of solitary copies of great Confucian scholars in the former dynasty for Ye Shijie, and filled a box full of them. Even Xue Huaiyuan would be tempted to read them. When he had nothing to do, Xue Huaiyuan would read these books, and he didn't find them boring. Sometimes in the study, he could spend a whole day just reading them.

Haitang knocked lightly on the door, and got Xue Huaiyuan's answer before pushing the door in. However, after Haitang entered, she just stood at the door without approaching, and called out: "Master."

Xue Huaiyuan asked: "What's wrong?"

"Master...Young master is back." Haitang said.

Xue Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment, but before he realized what Haitang meant, he saw Jiang Li pushing a boy in a wheelchair to his side. The boy looked familiar, with tears in his eyes, but he still smiled and called Xue Huaiyuan, "Father!"

Xue Huaiyuan stared straight at Xue Zhao. Gradually, his lips trembled, his hands trembled, and he wanted to touch Xue Zhao's shoulder, but he trembled, as if he was afraid that this was a dream, and he was careful not to go forward. , for fear of ruining this hard-won dream, and after waking up from the dream, he would never see Xue Zhao again.

Xue Zhao took the initiative to hold Xue Huaiyuan's hand, and said, "Father! It's me. I'm back. I'm not dead!"

Xue Huaiyuan was held by Xue Zhao, those hands were warm and real, not hallucinations that appeared in a dream, as if he could only believe it at this time, he called "A Zhao", and burst into tears.

Xue Zhao also kept crying, and said while crying, "It's because the child is unfilial, which makes the father worry. If the child sees the father sooner, he won't let the father be tortured by that poisonous woman in Yongning."

"Azhao," Xue Huaiyuan said, "What's wrong with your leg?"

Xue Zhao looked at his legs, he smiled, and said, "Father, I can't walk anymore, but it's okay, I'm still alive!"

What he said was calm and gentle, but Xue Huaiyuan understood it all at once. He knew his son's lifelong wish, and also knew that he was chivalrous and tender, and hoped to enter the world. Such a good-looking young man will be imprisoned in a chair from now on, and he will no longer be able to fly freely. This is such a great pain for him. Xue Huaiyuan's lips turned white. He was always strict with Xue Zhao, but this time, he couldn't help but patted Xue Zhao's hand and said, "It's okay, Ah Zhao, it's okay."

Everyone in the room felt very sad when they heard it, and felt that seeing the reunion of the father and son, the eyes of others were also moistened.

"Azhao, where did you go? Miss Jiang said you were dead, and I went to see your graveyard. As far as I know, you are indeed..."

"Father, that was Princess Yongning's trap. I was not killed, but was imprisoned in Princess Yongning's private prison. She tortured me, but she wanted to use the news of my death to stimulate my sister and father. I thought I couldn't escape. , I didn’t expect to be alive.” Xue Zhao explained.

Xue Huaiyuan's eyes fell on Jiang Li, and he said, "You said...it was Miss Jiang who saved you?"

"Yes." Xue Zhao replied.

Xue Huaiyuan looked at Jiang Li suspiciously, and Ye Mingyu was also very puzzled. They all knew that the private prison in the Princess Mansion was discovered by accident, but no one saw Xue Zhao at that time. How did Jiang Li find Xue Zhao, besides being able to recognize Xue Zhao's identity at a glance. Thinking of Jiang Li's many help to Xue's family before, Xue Huaiyuan became even more suspicious.

"Father, it's a long story, I'll tell you slowly." Xue Zhaodao, he looked at Ye Mingyu and the others: "Master Ye... Sorry, the rest of you, can you avoid it a little?"

Ye Mingyu shrugged his shoulders, and retreated consciously. It's really inconvenient for him, an outsider, to listen to what the two of them are talking about, and what's more, what if Xue Zhao wants to say something secret. Haitang and Zhao Ke also backed out. Ye Mingyu turned around and saw that Jiang Li was still standing behind Xue Zhao's wheelchair, so he asked Jiang Li, "A Li, why don't you come out?"

"Miss Jiang Er stay here." Xue Zhaodao: "I also have something to say to Miss Jiang Er."

Ye Mingyu was taken aback, Zhao Ke had already closed the door. Ye Mingyu was stunned, and then said: "What, Ah Li is from our family, why did you go to their house, and she looks very familiar, weird!" For some reason, Ye Mingyu saw Jiang Li and Xue Huaiyuan Xue Zhaosan When I stay together alone, I feel very uncomfortable. It is clear that Jiang Li and Xue's family are not relatives, so why are the three of them so comfortable when they are together? It seems that they should have done this long ago, but he is not like It's Jiang Li's uncle, like an outsider.

Zhao Ke lowered his head and looked at the ground intently. He knew why Xue Zhao let Jiang Li in. Xue Zhao even called Jiang Li her elder sister, and started dating her. OK. This kid, Zhao Ke thought to himself, did not expect him to be a character who can flatter and is a good hand at coaxing girls.

In the room, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao were sitting, Xue Zhao said to Jiang Li: "Sister, you should sit too."

Hearing the word "sister", Xue Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment. In his impression, Xue Zhao only called Xue Fangfei sister. Why are you so close to Jiangli now?

He looked at Jiang Li, because he was excited by Xue Zhao's appearance, Xue Huaiyuan hadn't looked at Jiang Li carefully, but when he looked at Jiang Li now, he suddenly found that Jiang Li and Fang Fei were too similar.

They have completely different appearances, but the way they sit down, how they dress, and how they frown, if not for the difference in their faces, Xue Huaiyuan would almost have the illusion that Fang Fei is back.

"Mr. Xue," after Jiang Li sat down, she looked at Xue Huaiyuan and said, "Before you kept asking me, why did you help the Xue family many times, from Tongxiang to Yanjing, to avenge Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong, and now you have rescued the Xue family?" Xue Zhao. Let me tell you, this is because I have a relationship with the Xue family, but you have never known what the relationship is, and I have never told you, because I really don’t know how to say it, and I’m afraid you won’t believe me. Think I'm talking nonsense."

"But now that Ah Zhao is back, I have nothing to fear, so I can speak out naturally."

Xue Huaiyuan stared at Jiang Li, his breathing gradually became short of breath.

"Father, I'm Ari."
