Marriage of the Di Daughter

"Father, I'm Ari."

The words in the room stunned Xue Huaiyuan.

It was rare for him to be so surprised, but two times today, first Xue Zhao and then Jiang Li, these two made him speechless one after another.

Jiang Li has a lot to say, and she wants to tell the past slowly, to make Xue Huaiyuan believe in herself, she is Xue Fangfei. But as soon as she called "Father", her tears flowed down, and she couldn't stop.

A young lady who is not related to him, even though he has helped the Xue family many times, Xue Huaiyuan also knows that she is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter, and his Ari has long been killed by Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning. Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei are two completely different people, but when the girl in front of him looked at him with blurry eyes, he suddenly saw Ahri when he was a child. The little girl has a good temper. At that time, he had just arrived in Tongxiang to deal with political affairs, and he would come home very late every day. Xue Zhao is a boy with a rough temper, but Ari is a girl, but she also sits in the yard obediently waiting for him to come back after dark. At that time, as soon as Xue Huaiyuan went back, the little girl jumped up and softly called him "Father" in a voice full of grievance and joy, which almost melted his heart.

When he saw Jiang Li crying in front of him, Xue Huaiyuan involuntarily reached out and wanted to touch her head, which she did, and he said in a daze, "Ah Li..."

Jiang Li was also stunned.

She didn't expect Xue Huaiyuan to believe it so easily, or rather, she didn't expect Xue Huaiyuan to recognize herself so easily. This may be the blood relationship, the constant parting, even if you change your identity and face, you can easily recognize it. It wasn't as entangled and suspicious as she imagined, and everything just happened naturally.

Xue Zhao looked at the two of them nervously at first, for fear that Xue Huaiyuan would not believe Jiang Li's words and hurt his sister's heart. He thought about helping his sister to prove it, but he didn't expect Xue Huaiyuan to call out "Ah Li!" ".

Jiang Li was sure that his name was "A Li" and not "A Li", because Xue Huaiyuan had always called Miss Jiang "Miss Jiang".

"Father, you believe my sister's words!" Xue Zhao said, "That's great!"

"Ah Li..." Xue Huaiyuan also followed the old man in tears. He was originally a handsome middle-aged man, but now he is as old as General Ji. He stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Li's hand. He didn't know if it was a dream or he was awake. He asked, "Ari... Father's Ari is still alive..."

Jiang Li stood up from the chair at once, and knelt down in front of Xue Huaiyuan: "Father, my daughter is not filial. If she hadn't married Shen Yurong back then, how could she have caused such disasters for Xue's family, and even made father and Azhao suffer so much?" The torture is all my fault!"

"No, no, no," Xue Huaiyuan wanted to help her up in a panic, without any trace of blame in his tone, he just said, "How can you blame Ari? It's all father's fault, father is busy with official duties all day long, so he doesn't care about you... no Let me find out for you, who is Shen Yurong to marry you like this, you must have suffered a lot in the Shen family, and my father doesn't even know..."

"Stop talking to each other like that," Xue Zhao said, "I don't blame my father or my sister for this matter. Who would have thought that Shen Yurong would be such a person? Knowing people, knowing the face, but not knowing the heart, when Shen Yurong was in Tongxiang, she was also a dog. Seen from another person's point of view, even if you want to inquire about it, you won't be able to find out. Human nature will only be revealed when faced with a huge choice. Before Shen Yurong had no choice, it was naturally considered good. Changed my mind."

Xue Zhao's words seemed to make Xue Huaiyuan slowly wake up. He pulled Jiang Li, let Jiang Li sit down beside her, and looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li's face was completely different from Xue Fangfei's, but her expression and movements made Xue Huaiyuan feel that Xue Fangfei was still there. In front of him, Xue Huaiyuan was a little confused for a moment, he said: "Ah Li...your face, how did you become...Jiang Yuanbai's daughter?"

Jiang Li and Xue Zhao looked at each other. This matter will have to be explained sooner or later. Jiang Li explained what she had explained to Xue Zhao before, and Xue Huaiyuan was surprised after listening. Xue Zhao interjected: "Sister, you are reviving the corpse. I only heard about it from the storyteller in the restaurant before. I didn't expect it to happen to you. But God treats you well. You have become the second young lady of the Jiang family. Anyway, you are still an official, but luckily you didn't become a man. Otherwise, even if you found dad and told him that you were my sister, dad would not believe you, and would think you were a lunatic."

Ever since Xue Zhao met Jiang Li and learned that Xue Huaiyuan was also in Yanjing City, he gradually regained his former escapade temperament and didn't take everything to heart. Jiang Li was afraid that he would feel sad and depressed because he couldn't stand up, but now it seems that he can rest assured that he can even say this in a joking tone, which shows that it is no different from before.

"That is to say, even though you are Ari, you are now the second miss of the Jiang family?" Xue Huaiyuan asked. There was a sour feeling in his heart, it was clearly his daughter, but now he wants to call someone else's father, and he can't recognize each other openly.

"It's okay, dad, I've thought about it a long time ago." Jiang Li said: "I will find a way to recognize you as a foster father in the future. If Jiang Shoufu agrees, I can call you dad. Others will only think that we are foster fathers The relationship between adopted daughters, but it’s good that we know it ourselves.”

"It's not that easy." Xue Zhao interjected: "There are many rules in the official family, and it's not as simple as in Tongxiang to recognize a foster father. Sister, if you recognize a foster father, it's fine if you recognize a high-ranking official, and you recognize your father... I'm afraid that Lord Shoufu will think you are messing around."

Jiang Li said: "I have my own way."

"Is there any way?" Xue Zhao asked, "Could it be that the adult is asking for help?"

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the "adult" was referring to Ji Heng. When she met Xue Zhao that night, she didn't shy away from Ji Heng, and Ji Heng was still holding her hand. If Xue Zhao saw it, a fool could guess that she and Ji Heng had a different relationship.

"Who is that lord?" Xue Huaiyuan asked suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing." Jiang Li looked like a child who was caught doing something wrong, and she smiled perfunctorily, "It's just someone who helped us." She glared at Xue Zhao, who turned his head away , pretending not to see Jiang Li's eyes.

"No wonder," Xue Huaiyuan didn't notice Xue Zhao's eyes, but said to himself, "You will always help the Xue family..."

Jiang Li does have a deep relationship with the Xue family, because she was Xue Fangfei, the daughter of the Xue family!

"What happened to Ah Zhao?" Xue Huaiyuan looked at Xue Zhao again: "How did you rescue Ah Zhao?"

Before Xue Zhao could speak, Jiang Li took the lead and said, "It's a friend of mine. I asked him to help rescue Jiang Youyao, the third lady of the Jiang family, in the private prison. That friend saw Ah Zhao in the private prison. Azhao asked him for help, but he didn't know that Azhao was my younger brother, so he rescued Azhao. Later I... When I went to that friend's house, I happened to see Azhao, and then I realized that Azhao was my younger brother. Living in this world, I was deceived by Princess Yongning before. After I met Ah Zhao, I decided to bring Ah Zhao to see you."

Xue Zhao blinked at Jiang Li, indicating that Jiang Li had concealed too much in what she said. Xue Zhao also found it incredible that when Xue Fangfei and Shen Yurong had a good impression of each other, Xue Fangfei never hid it from Xue Huaiyuan and him. concealment?

Xue Huaiyuan didn't doubt that there was him, and just sighed: "This is really a coincidence, Ah Li, you must thank your friend, he saved Ah Zhao's life."

"I know." Jiang Li replied.

"That elder brother not only saved my life, but also helped a lot with my sister's affairs and my father's affairs." Xue Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I heard from the doctor who treated me in his mansion that my father was in Tongxiang before. That elder brother also helped a lot in the case. It can be said that he is the benefactor of our Xue family."

Hearing this, Xue Huaiyuan asked in surprise, "Ari, is this friend of yours a young master?"

Jiang Li had no choice but to say yes in embarrassment, and said: "I know him, in fact, it is because he knows Jiang Yuanfu..."

"That elder brother is a good man. Daddy still remembers Dr. Situ who treated you. He was entrusted by my elder brother to help me. Later, Doctor Situ rescued me. On the day when King Cheng raised an incident, they all He protected me very well. I think, even helping me like this must be for the sake of my sister, and I must be helping my sister more."

Xue Huaiyuan is not an idiot either. Xue Zhao hinted so explicitly, and immediately turned around and looked at Jiang Li in surprise. Jiang Li was winking at Xue Zhao, telling him not to talk nonsense. Xue Huaiyuan was even more surprised. She knew the temperament of the daughter he raised by himself. If it really had nothing to do with the "brother" in Xue Zhao's mouth, it is natural to deny it openly, but she just told Xue Zhao to shut up, but did not deny it, which has already explained some problems.

"Ah Li..." Xue Huaiyuan said.

"Father, Ah Zhao is talking nonsense. My friend has indeed helped me a lot, and I will thank him in the future."

Xue Huaiyuan looked at Jiang Li and sighed inwardly. It turned out that when she was Xue Fangfei, she had such a good life that people from all over the world came to inquire, wanting to marry Ari back home. Xue Huaiyuan felt that those families were not the best, but Ari was a girl with ideas, and finally he saw that Ali fell in love with Shen Yurong, and when the Shen family came to propose, he agreed. Xue Huaiyuan is quite satisfied with Shen Yurong, this young man is talented, and it will be a matter of time before he gets ahead, and he seems to be good to Ari. The only thing that made Xue Huaiyuan feel wrong was that the Shen family was in Yanjing City, a place like Yanjing, the Shen family had no official positions, and Ali was too handsome, if someone had evil intentions, the Shen family might not be able to protect them.

However, Shen Yurong stood in front of Xue Huaiyuan and made a solemn promise that he would be admitted as the number one scholar and become an official, and protect Ari for the rest of his life. Xue Huaiyuan was sincere to him and agreed. It's good to think about the person Ahri likes.

When the news of Shen Yurong's admission to the No. 1 Scholar and became an official came to Tongxiang, the common people all came to congratulate him, saying that Ahli is very lucky and good-looking, so that he can be an official wife with fine clothes and fine food. Xue Huaiyuan smiled, There is always some worry in my heart. Sure enough, in the end, his worry became a reality. It turned out that Shen Yurong could go on an official career for Xue Fangfei, but he could also sacrifice Xue Fangfei in order to go higher.

Although Ari doesn't say anything now, Xue Huaiyuan can also imagine how much Ari was wronged when she was in the Shen family. Although her appearance is good-looking now, she is not as eye-catching as Xue Fangfei was, and she is now the daughter of an official family, so ordinary people would not dare to think of Jiang Li.

Xue Huaiyuan knew that Ari became Jiang Li, so being in Jiang's family was good, but the disadvantages were also bad, aside from the intrigue among the wealthy family, Xue Huaiyuan couldn't control Ari's marriage even now. The more the official is, the less likely it is for the children to marry according to their wishes. There are many things to consider, the right family, whether it can bring bargaining chips for official career, marriage is no longer just marriage, in Jiang's family, Ah Li wants to marry someone he likes, how difficult it is, Xue Huaiyuan understands.

Now Xue Zhao's hint and Ari's reaction all show that Ari may have a sweetheart, the "brother" who saved Xue Zhao.

Xue Huaiyuan didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The happy thing is that Ari did not lose his confidence in others because of Shen Yurong's incident, and he no longer trusts others. What is worrying is that Ari's sweetheart may not be able to walk with Ari. But no matter what, Xue Huaiyuan was not at all unhappy about the fact that Ari had someone he liked.

His daughter was a rare good girl in the world, and it was common for a good man to like to marry her. Even if Ari saw the wrong person before, it was not her fault, if she still fell in love with another person again, Xue Huaiyuan would only be happy for her in his heart.

He was even proud of her, this is the girl of the Xue family, who dares to love and hate, always has courage and hope.

There were a lot of thoughts in his heart, but a kind and gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I know, one day in the future, when I have a chance, Ari will let me see your friend, and I want to be your friend too. Thank him in front of him, thank him for taking care of you."

Jiang Li was stunned, her cheeks were hot, but her heart was warm. This is her father, and her father will always stand behind her. No matter what she decides, she will have the support of her family behind her. Those confusions, troubles and entanglements will disappear in the warmth of her family.

Because there is nothing to fear.

Xue Zhao asked Jiang Li, "Sister, what are your plans next?"

The reunion of the Xue family was really a surprise for Jiang Li. Jiang Li hesitated for a moment and said: "I am in the Jiang family now, and I can't leave Yanjing. I'm afraid I can't go back to Tongxiang. Ah Zhao, father, you If you want to stay in Yanjing, you should go back to Tongxiang."

"What are you doing back in Tongxiang?" Xue Zhaodao: "Father is no longer the county magistrate now. And how can we let my sister stay in Yanjing City alone? Back then, it was because I let my sister stay in Yanjing City alone that I was punished by that bastard Shen Yurong. No harm, we stay in Yanjing City, at least we can protect you."

"Yes, Ah Li," Xue Huaiyuan also said, "Father is worried about you."

Jiang Li's tears, which had been so hard to stop, were about to flow again, and she said, "Okay, then let's not leave, and stay in Yanjing City."

"I want to live with Dad," Xue Zhao said, "Sister, that Master Ye San seems to be Miss Jiang Er's uncle, can you tell him to let me stay in Ye's house, or we can move out together. All right. Dad and I are together, at least we can take care of each other."

"That's easy to say." Jiang Li said: "In a house as big as Ye Mansion, there are only two people, Cousin Shijie and Uncle. Uncle is very straightforward. If you live here, I think he won't mind."

"Ah Li," Xue Huaiyuan said hesitantly, "Your brother and I live in Ye Mansion now, and I haven't been able to tell you before that now I'm not the county magistrate and I don't have a salary, and your brother can't stand up. , was taken away by Feng Yutang long ago. We live here to bother Mr. Ye San, but we don’t pay a penny, I am really... really sorry."

Xue Huaiyuan was extremely proud in his bones, he was definitely not the kind of person who ate and drank, and felt very uncomfortable when he took advantage of others, but the current situation could not be changed for the time being. He didn't know that Jiang Li was Xue Fangfei, so he couldn't tell Jiang Li that. Now that I know it, I say it directly.

"Father, don't worry," Jiang Li said with a smile, "After I became Miss Jiang, I also had a lot of savings on hand. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yuanfu were very generous to me, and I didn't spend much on those jewelry and money. It can be exchanged into silver bills at any time. If you feel uncomfortable, I will hand over the silver bills to you, and you will give them to uncle."

Xue Huaiyuan was extremely ashamed: "Ah Li, why do you want to raise us..."

There was also a glimmer of sadness in Xue Zhao's eyes. It was originally his job to support the family. As a man of the Xue family, he should support the whole family and protect his family. Now that his martial arts are completely abolished, he has become a cripple, and he will never be able to stand up in the future. Naturally, there is no way to talk about these things.

"I was originally from the Xue family." Jiang Li said softly: "If father wants to calculate so clearly, is it because my surname is Jiang now that there is a suspicion."

Upon hearing this, Xue Huaiyuan immediately said: "Of course not! In Dad's heart, you will always be Dad's Ari."

Jiang Li laughed.

Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li, then at Xue Huaiyuan, shook his head, and smiled. Forget it, no matter what, everything that happened now, the reunion of the family of three is already like a great gift from heaven, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, if it is too greedy, what if God takes everything back? They deserve to be content.

Jiang Li talked with Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao for a long time. After the three of them recognized each other, they told each other things that they hadn't known each other in these years. Jiang Li also told how she was harmed by Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning back then. She skipped those cruel details and said it lightly. Even so, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao were still saddened.

This talk, unexpectedly arrived in the afternoon.

Ye Mingyu knocked on the door outside, and said: "Mr. Xue, Young Master Xue, Ah Li, when are you going to come out? It's been a long time since you talked, why don't you come out and have something to eat before continuing."

It was only then that they remembered that until now, they hadn't had time to eat lunch, and only after being reminded by Ye Mingyu did they feel hungry.

Jiang Li pushed open the door and apologized to Ye Mingyu, and asked Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao to come out for dinner together. Because the three of them didn't eat, Ye Mingyu had to starve with them. Ye Shijie had also left court long ago, and was greatly surprised to learn that Xue Huaiyuan's son Xue Zhao was still alive and in his own residence.

At the dinner table, Ye Mingyu congratulated Xue Huaiyuan on the reunion with Xue Zhao and his son. They didn't know that Jiang Li was Xue Fangfei, but the Xue family was grateful for Jiang Li's repeated help to the Xue family. On the table, Jiang Li also mentioned whether Xue Zhao could continue to live here in the future.

Ye Mingyu agreed without even thinking about it, and said, "Let's live, let's live, it's good for Ah Zhao to live here. There are only Shijie and I in this mansion. Shijie is still old, you live here, I So I'm not afraid that Xue Xiancheng will be alone all day long."

"About money..." Jiang Li was interrupted by Ye Mingyu before she finished speaking, Ye Mingyu said: "Ah Li, have you forgotten that the most important thing in our family is money, Mr. Xue Living with Ah Zhao in our Ye family, what kind of money do you need? Don’t mess with that, it hurts feelings for nothing!”

He said all this for the sake of it, and it would seem a little strange to say it forcefully. Jiang Li had no choice but to hold back her words, but seeing the expressions of Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan, she felt a little more relaxed.

Xue Zhao liked talking to Ye Mingyu very much. Knowing that Ye Mingyu had traveled to many places, he asked him many things. Ye Mingyu knew that it was a pity that Xue Zhao's good martial arts skills were ruined by Princess Yongning's people, and his legs were also discounted afterwards. But he said that he could teach Xue Zhao to practice swordsmanship again, without having to move while sitting on a chair, Xue Zhao immediately agreed happily.

Ye Shijie was a little strange. He felt that there was an invisible natural feeling between Jiang Li and Xue Zhao. And Jiang Li's smile when facing Xue Zhao is a kind of inclusive, as if she is accustomed to a smile, and it is also a sincere smile. He has been paying attention to Jiangli, he hesitated to speak several times, but finally said nothing.

This day until it was dark, Jiang Li had to go back to the house. Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie wanted to take her to the gate of the house, but Jiang Li refused, but Xue Zhao asked Jiang Li to tell her something, and Jiang Li agreed.

Ye Shijie watched them go away with a strange expression.

On the way out of the mansion, Jiang Li kept pushing Xue Zhao's wheelchair, and Zhao Ke followed far behind. Xue Zhao was sitting in a wheelchair, picked a piece of grass from the road and played with it in his hand, he said softly, "Sister, that Young Master Ye has been watching us while eating."

"Probably surprised by my relationship with you." Jiang Li didn't think much, just said: "After all, in their view, you and I seem too familiar, which is a bit strange."

"Hey——" Xue Zhao laughed, "He's a drunkard at all. What's the relationship between us and him? From his posture, he's clearly hostile to me."

"Nonsense," Jiang Li replied, "It's all right, how could he be hostile to you."

"It depends on what my sister did," Xue Zhao said with a narrow smile, "When my sister was in Tongxiang, there were many young masters who used to climb the walls of our house. If Young Master Ye was in Tongxiang, he might climb the highest. the one."

Jiang Li knocked his head angrily: "I think your injury is healed, you don't know the pain, you dare to say anything."

"It seems that Luohua deliberately flows ruthlessly—" Xue Zhao prolonged his voice on purpose. It's nothing, in the past, many sons, including his good friends in Tongxiang, always asked Xue Zhao to bring something to Xue Fangfei. Sometimes it’s makeup, sometimes it’s a kite, once Xue Zhao took it home, he was beaten by Xue Huaiyuan, and later Xue Zhao didn’t bring it anymore, and whoever coveted his sister wanted him to be beaten, Xue Zhaoquan ignored it.

Now it's like going back to the past.

His elder sister, even if she changed her appearance, there was still no shortage of people to fall for her.

"Sister, let me ask you something, it seems that you don't like Young Master Ye, right?"

Jiang Li was angry and funny, but Xue Zhao was evasive as always, she said: "Cousin Ye is a cousin, don't use him as a raft."

Xue Zhaocai was not moved by Jiang Li's words, he suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Su Guogong?"

Jiang Li was startled, and pushed Xue Zhao's wheelchair, unconsciously slowing down. She knew that Xue Zhao would ask this question sooner or later, and what Xue Zhao said when facing Xue Huaiyuan showed that Xue Zhao had long noticed the intimacy between her and Ji Heng that night.

But she really didn't know how to tell Xue Zhao.

She was married before, was bruised all over by Shen Yurong, turned around and fell in love with others, others might say that she was promiscuous, that's all, Jiang Li knew that Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan would definitely not, they would think of themselves, would Happy to have found someone I like.

What worries Jiang Li is that this person is Ji Heng.

Just like the Jiang family's views on her marriage, Yin Zhili is an excellent choice. He has a good appearance, a gentle temperament, and a kind heart. If others choose a son-in-law, they will also think that Yin Zhili is an excellent choice. But Ji Heng is different. Although she looks good, she is too gorgeous. His temperament is even more moody. Rumor has it that he is ruthless and murderous. Such a person is full of danger no matter how you look at it. The Jiang family advised her not to get too close to Ji Heng, and Ye Mingyu once advised her in the same way.

She was really afraid that Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan would comfort him in the same way.

After all, he is really not a good person in the eyes of others, but there is no cause and effect for liking this kind of thing.

"Sister, you like Duke Su, don't you?" Xue Zhao asked.

Jiang Li's footsteps stopped completely, and she heard her own voice, asking softly and with some uncertainty: "If I say yes, will Ah Zhao stop me?"

"Block?" Xue Zhao was taken aback, and couldn't help turning his head.

In summer evening, when the sunset glow faded away, her appearance became blurred, just like her voice, or her mood, uneasy, careful and prudent.

Xue Zhao turned his head back, turned his back to Jiang Li, smiled, and said straightforwardly: "Why do you want to stop? It's not that he doesn't like you, but he still wants to be my brother-in-law."
