Marriage of the Di Daughter

She didn't know when Jiang Li finished singing, but she felt that Ji Heng who was holding her was not moving at all. She wanted to look up, but Ji Heng's voice sounded from the top of her head, and he said: " Don't move, just stay like this."

For some reason, at this moment, Jiang Li seemed to be able to capture some strange emotions in him. It was a strange Ji Heng, fragile, helpless.

She remained silent and motionless.

The autumn sun is not as warm as summer, and it is warm and golden, slowly shining on them. In fact, she should have pushed Ji Heng away. If someone saw her, she would be in trouble if she was tongue-tied. Yet she did nothing.

When she needed help, Ji Heng helped her. Even if this help might disrupt his plan, he didn't care. If she is still stingy with a hug now, it is a little ungrateful, and his embrace is not as cold as imagined, Jiang Li thinks it is very good.

After a long, long time, Ji Heng fell asleep except for Jiang Li, maintaining a posture, and when she also felt tired, Ji Heng let go of her hand.

He looked at Jiang Li, curled his lips, and said, "Little girl, you are so cute."

He seemed to be sincerely praising, not like teasing or flirting, so Jiang Li didn't feel shy, but asked with some concern: "What's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"No." Ji Heng pondered, "I just thought, when is it more appropriate to meet my father-in-law."

Jiang Li said: "You have the final say." She can go to Ye Mansion all the time, but Ji Heng is not necessarily. If he wanted to keep an eye on Yin Zhan's movements, he might not spend a lot of time in Yanjing City.

"Just a few days." Ji Heng said, "I'll ask Zhao Ke to give you a message."

Jiang Li nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The Yin family...is there any action over there?"

Ji Heng sneered: "I'm trying to find ways to stay in Yanjing, and it seems that I can't hold back anymore."

"How careful you are."

"Don't worry." Ji Heng returned.

The brief warmth ended soon, and Ji Heng left Jiang's mansion before Jiang Yuanbai came back. Although Jiang Yuanbai can't control him now, he will be the son-in-law bestowed by the emperor himself in the future, if he really wants to enter Jiang's house, he can just do it swaggeringly. But probably because he didn't want to speculate with Jiang Yuanbai, you come and go, and Ji Heng left very readily.

When Tong'er and Bai Xue entered the room, they couldn't help laughing, and Jiang Li asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Outside people say that the Duke is vicious and does all kinds of evil. They haven't seen how the Duke treats the girl. The servants feel that even the prince of the Yin family is not as good as the Duke. Gentle. Besides, the eldest son of the Yin family is gentle with everyone, but the Duke is only gentle with the girl, and the servants are happy for the girl, and the girl is right." Tong Er said a long list.

Jiang Li smiled: "You know a lot."

In her heart, those original uneasiness and confusion had completely disappeared. The past has completely become the past, Xue Fangfei's care and prudence, vengeance and pain are gone. Now she likes herself very much now and has a brand new future.

Just thinking about when Ji Heng would go to see Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang Li became a little nervous for no reason. Would father like someone like Ji Heng? After all, Ji Heng is too arrogant and capricious. What will happen to her father, Ji Heng? If they disagree, how will she resolve it.

What a problem.

...

On the fifth day of October, the weather in Yanjing City was already very cool. Even in the early morning and evening, there are already shadows of early winter. Yanjing is to the north, and winter comes early. Jiang Li has lived here for several years, and she has gotten used to it. This morning, she had eaten, put on her clothes, and was ready to go out.

Jiang Li planned to go to Ye Mansion, and she and Ji Heng had already made an appointment to go to Ye Mansion together to meet Xue Huaiyuan today. Before going out, it began to rain lightly outside, one autumn rain and one cold, Bai Xue went to fetch a cloak for Jiang Li, and Jiang Li got into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of what was going to happen next.

When Jiang Yuanbai and Ji Heng met, Jiang Li was not worried. On weekdays, Ji Heng and Jiang Yuanbai had already met each other at court banquets, and Jiang Yuanbai also knew about face matters. But Xue Huaiyuan was different. Back then, he resigned from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry because he couldn't get used to the darkness of the officialdom. Ji Heng was used to being alone, and when he was with Xue Huaiyuan, he didn't know what to say. Xue Huaiyuan is righteous, upright, and just, and Ji Heng is basically two people. Thinking about it, Jiang Li felt that it was horrible. Although it might be better to have Xue Zhao around, Xue Zhao also often does bad things with good intentions, adding fuel to the fire.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li became more and more worried, and urged the coachman several times, wishing to arrive at Ye Mansion earlier, what if the provincial Ji Heng arrived at Ye Mansion first and met Xue Huaiyuan first.

Seeing her anxious, Tong'er felt strange, and comforted her: "Girl, the road is slippery in rainy days, so don't dare to walk too fast. Today we go out early, there is plenty of time, and it won't be late. Master Ye won't blame the girl of."

Jiang Li forced a smile, finally saw the gate of Ye Mansion, the coachman reined in the reins, and the carriage stopped at the gate of Ye Mansion. Bai Xue got out of the carriage first, holding an umbrella, Tong'er helped Jiang Li get off the carriage, and the three of them walked towards Ye Mansion together.

The porter opened the door for them familiarly, and Jiang Li asked, "Is there anyone else here?"

The boy was taken aback: "Others? No wow, isn't Miss Biao the only one here today?"

It seemed that Ji Heng and the others hadn't arrived yet, Jiang Li was just relieved when the sound of a carriage sounded at the door again. This carriage was much bigger than the Jiang family's, and it looked extremely gorgeous and bright. Jiang Li looked over, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a familiar figure jumped out, followed by his jumping voice, "Miss Jiang Er, long time no see!"

Jiang Li was stunned, it turned out to be Wen Renyao.

It wasn't Ji Heng who came here today, what did Wen Renyao come here for? Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li saw a small head protruding from behind Wen Renyao, but it was Lin Yao who Jiang Li had rescued from Huangzhou. Since Lin Yao returned to Yanjing City with Wen Renyao, Jiang Li seldom saw him. He didn't know what Wen Renyao was pulling him to do. Now that he was wearing Taoist clothes at a young age, he was quite fairy-like. I also lost some weight, maybe because I grew taller.

Then, Situ Jiuyue jumped out of the carriage, then General Ji, and finally the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a beautiful hand, and Ji Heng walked down from it slowly.

Jiang Li was dumbfounded.

She really didn't know that Ji Heng came alone, but why there were so many people suddenly. It's no wonder that such a big carriage is needed, Jiang Li was stunned, and said: "This is... what's going on?"

This group of people approached the gate of Ye's house first, and no one saw them outside. Wen Renyao said: "Second Miss Jiang, I'm very happy to hear that you and Ah Heng are engaged. Today Ah Heng is going to visit your Uncle Ye's family. I think it's not good for him to be alone. As his friends and family, We should also be present, otherwise, people will think that the Duke’s Mansion is deserted and lonely, although it is indeed the case.”

"Fuck off," Old General Ji shouted angrily, "Why is there no one in the Duke's Mansion! Girl Jiang, I heard that you have a very good relationship with your uncle, and that your uncle is a hero of the rivers and lakes. I appreciate it very much! I came here specially Look at him!"

Jiang Li looked at Situ Jiuyue with doubts in his eyes. Situ Jiuyue said coldly, "I'm not here to see anyone. The wound on Xue Zhao's body still needs medicine. I'll come here to deliver the medicine. Let's take a look at the condition of the wound so it's convenient to take medicine." New poison."

Jiang Li felt that this was strange. Situ Jiuyue was clearly doing good things for Xue Zhao, so why did she want to deny her kindness in such a hurry, and instead emphasized that it was for "making poison". Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, she only said that Situ Jiuyue was a cold-faced and warm-hearted girl, and she was a bit awkward about this matter, so she didn't want people to notice her kindness.

Ji Heng smiled and said: "They are all here to visit, let's go, Ari."

What he said was also full of sarcasm. Jiang Li could all imagine, except for Situ Jiuyue, this group of people begged for nothing and insisted on coming along with Ji Heng's carriage.

The servant at the gate of Ye's mansion was also stunned, never expecting that Miss Biao came to Ye's house as usual, how could she bring such a large group of people. However, this group of people did not seem to be ordinary characters, so they did not dare to neglect immediately, and while calling for people to report, they were enthusiastic to lead the way.

Jiang Li felt weird, she walked side by side with Ji Heng, and whispered: "Didn't you persuade them?"

"Persuaded." Ji Heng narrowed his eyes, "But, don't you think this is better?"

Jiang Li was stunned before she understood what Ji Heng meant by coming over. From Ji Heng's point of view, although Jiang Li knows that she is very good, not everyone has had a deep relationship with Ji Heng, and it is understandable not to know what kind of temperament Ji Heng is. But Ji Heng brought so many people here, and he also denied the rumors that Su Guogong was moody and committed all kinds of evil from the side.

If he was such a person, he would definitely not have relatives and friends around him. But Old General Ji, Wen Renyao, Situ Jiuyue, and even Lin Yao all came, which showed that Ji Heng was not as ruthless as the rumors said, and he loved and protected his own people.

And Wen Renyao is so noisy, maybe it can make everyone laugh, Jiang Li can only think so.

He just walked to the courtyard of Ye Mansion, and before reaching the hall, Ye Mingyu had already heard the news and rushed over. He first looked at Jiang Li, and said, "A Li, why didn't you come alone?" His eyes fell on Ji Heng, and suddenly There was no sound again.

Every time he sees Ji Heng, Ye Mingyu is a man, he will not be overwhelmed by Ji Heng's beauty, he is a man in the world, he will only feel that this man's murderous aura cannot be concealed, it is extremely dangerous. Ye Mingyu was determined not to trust Jiangli to such a dangerous person, but since the imperial decree had been issued, they seemed to have no choice but to be a merchant. He saw General Ji again, and was immediately taken by the righteousness and determination of General Ji.

After all, he is a general who has been on the battlefield.

Ye Shijie followed behind, and his steps slowed down. He saw Jiang Li and Ji Heng walking side by side, Jiang Li's trust in Ji Heng.

This is her most precious thing.

When the two parties met, they were both a little embarrassed and didn't know where to start. At this time, a happy voice broke the silence, he said: "Sister...Miss Jiang Er! Doctor Situ!"

Situ Jiuyue's eyes moved, and Xue Zhao came from behind pushing a wheelchair. During these days in Ye Mansion, he looked much happier than when he stayed in the Duke's Mansion, and there was some youthful flair on his face. The smile is still as warm as ever.

"Azhao," Jiang Li said, "We're going to see Uncle, and we also want to see Mr. Xue and you."

Ye Mingyu murmured in his heart, of course he would welcome Jiang Li to visit him, but he would get emotional if he brought such a group of unknown people to visit him. However, in front of his niece, he couldn't express these thoughts, so he squeezed out a particularly fake smile and said, "Then tell me first, I'll send someone to look at the kitchen."

He didn't want to talk to a man who lied to a little girl by his looks!

Ye Mingyu left, Ye Shijie smiled apologetically, he could actually see that the people Jiang Li brought were mainly here to see Xue Huaiyuan. Although I don't know why, the relationship between Jiang Li and Xue's family is quite strange. Ye Shijie is a smart person, so he said: "I'll go to see Uncle Third, you should go to Mr. Xue first."

Jiang Li smiled gratefully at him.

Xue Huaiyuan was reading in the yard.

Xue Zhao is lively, and learns whipping from Ye Mingyu during the day, so he knew Jiang Li was the first to come. Xue Huaiyuan was going to be later, and when he knew about this matter and wanted to come over, Jiang Li had already brought people to him.

In front of other people, Jiang Li could only call him "Mr. Xue".

"Miss Jiang." Xue Huaiyuan said in a gentle voice, he stood up, looked at the group of people in front of him, and his eyes first fell on Ji Heng who was beside Jiang Li.

The appearance of the young man is really handsome and gorgeous, his brows are charming, but there is also a hint of murderousness. The most important thing is his eyes, which have a pair of amber eyes with affection, but there is no trace of chaos in them, sober almost cruel.

Only in the eyes he occasionally casts on Jiangli, can there be a moment of tenderness.

In an instant, Xue Huaiyuan's opinion of Ji Heng changed.

He has lived most of his life, and he has brushed shoulders with the King of Hades. He has seen the sinister human heart and the hardships of the world. He dare not say that he can see through the human heart, but at least he can see it to a certain extent. Shen Yurong is so gentle and polite to others, but she kills the person next to her pillow, and Ji Heng is so notorious, she only shows her gentle side to Jiang Li.

Any father would be happy to see his beautiful daughter being cared for in the palm of his hand.

"You are Mr. Xue." Ji Heng said, "Ari often talks about you."

Everyone present was stunned, including Jiang Li, who looked at Ji Heng as if he had seen a ghost. When did Ji Heng talk to people so politely? Not to mention his own grandfather, even when facing Emperor Hong Xiao, Ji Heng's smile was probably a bit lazy and casual.

Could it be that he met a fake Ji Heng? This idea suddenly popped up in Jiang Li's heart.

Old General Ji seemed to be shocked by his grandson's words, and his face turned pale with shock. In order to redeem his gaffe just now, he looked at Xue Huaiyuan and said, "Xue Shangshu, do you still remember this old man?"

When Xue Huaiyuan was Xue Lingyun, he was still very young, and Ji Minghan hadn't married a wife yet. At that time, General Jin Wu's prestige was still there. Although one was a civil servant and the other was a military officer, they both had heard of each other's names. General Jin Wu made great achievements in battle, and Xue Lingyun built the canal to benefit the people.

But many years have passed, the dead die, the scattered, and meet again, but this is the relationship.

Xue Huaiyuan said, "General Ji."

Old General Ji laughed loudly: "I heard about you later, and you have had a hard time these years. Fortunately, this kid Azhao is still alive, I don't know, Azhao was rescued by my grandson !"

Xue Huaiyuan knew about this matter a long time ago, but he still felt a little moved when he heard old general Ji talking about it face to face, so he solemnly said to Ji Heng, "Thank you, Lord, for saving my life. Ah Zhao, don't thank me yet." .”

Xue Zhao hastily thanked him, he had already done this kind of thing when he was in the Duke's mansion. Now that Ji Heng is already a brother-in-law-to-be, he is a family. What's the point of paying homage?

Seeing that there was no chance for him to intervene, Wen Renyao was quite reconciled, so he took a chance and said, "We are here today because of Ah Heng's matter. The marriage between Miss Jiang and Ah Heng, although It was bestowed by the emperor, but we, Ah Heng, are not willing to be given by anyone. Ah Heng himself is also very happy to be able to discuss marriage with Miss Jiang Er. We all know the relationship between Miss Jiang Er and the Xue family It’s very shallow, and I value Mr. Xue very much, so we all come to see it, so that everyone can get to know him.”

He was laughing and joking, his words and deeds were inconsequential, so Ji Heng would have told him to get out if it was normal. But today Ji Heng didn't say anything, just let Wen Renyao talk nonsense.

Xue Huaiyuan felt satisfied again.

Those whirlpools, pros and cons, and dangers, Jiang Li is already in it, and there is no way to change this. Moreover, no one can change Jiang Li's decision for her, even her father and brother must respect her. But now it seems that Ahri's choice is not as bad as it seems.

Xue Huaiyuan didn't know who Ji Heng was, but he was aware of General Ji's dispute. Even if Ji Minghan is gone, the grandson raised by old general Ji will inherit some of the qualities of the Ji family after all.

Old General Ji was actually very puzzled in his heart. Such a big family meeting their in-laws and discussing with them in harmony and with a smile should happen in Jiang's family. After all, Jiang Li is the young lady of Jiang's family, but Ji Heng never once mentioned going to Jiang's house, but this time, she took the initiative to tell him that she wanted to go to Ye's house together.

Go to Ye's house to see Jiang Li's uncle? This old general Ji could barely understand, after all, I heard that Jiang Li and her third uncle were very good, but when they arrived at Ye's house, Ye Mingyu just met each other and disappeared, instead he was dragged to talk to Xue Huaiyuan. Old General Ji was not a fool either, he could tell that he had come to see Xue Huaiyuan specially.

Jiang Li treated Xue Huaiyuan better than Jiang Yuanbai, Old General Ji had heard this before, and he gloated about his misfortune once. It deserves it, Jiang Yuanbai is so old and cunning, but Jiang Li is extraordinarily upright and brave. Of course, he will be more sympathetic with a good official like Xue Huaiyuan, but now...it seems a bit too much, right?

Old General Ji had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. Because he knew that even if he said it, no one would answer him. Forget it, it's for his grandson to meet his in-laws. It doesn't make any difference to him whether he sees Jiang Yuanbai or Xue Huaiyuan. If he knows, it's Jiang Yuanbai who will cry and not him, so what else does he care about? Let him go. Bar!

Thinking of this, Old General Ji quickly put aside the doubts in his heart, went to the room with Xue Huaiyuan and sat down at the tea table, drinking tea while talking about the glorious years in the past.

This time, the others were left hanging in the yard instead.

Jiang Li was a little stunned, which was beyond her expectation. Old General Ji may not have seen his old friend for a long time, but after a while, Xue Huaiyuan became the person who talked with him.

Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng helplessly, and Ji Heng smiled and said, "It's okay."

Jiang Li could only remain silent, Wen Renyao looked at Xue Zhao who was sitting in a wheelchair, and asked him: "Master Xue, what are you holding here, is it a whip?"

"Yeah." Xue Zhao said with a smile: "Master Ye San taught me a set of whips and gave me a whip. I will use this whip to practice martial arts. I won't be really powerless in the future. , and protect those who want to be protected.”

People who can't even stand up, but are so optimistic, they keep saying that they want to protect others, such people are really rare in the world. Xue Zhao didn't feel anything at all, and he couldn't even find a trace of darkness in his eyes. He said, "I'm still not proficient in using this whip. I'll change it when I become proficient in using it."

Situ Jiuyue looked at Xue Zhao, and suddenly remembered what Xue Zhao said about protection when he was in the Duke's Mansion.

She said: "This whip is not good."

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, and Xue Zhao also asked, "Why did Doctor Situ say that?"

"It takes a lot of energy to kill someone with a whip. In comparison, it is much easier to kill someone with a sword and dagger. You are sitting in a wheelchair and your strength is not as strong as that of a standing person. It is even more difficult to kill someone."

Wen Renyao snorted, and said: "Situ, you are a girl anyway, so you keep talking about murder. Our young master Xue likes to rob the rich and help the poor, punish the evil and promote the good, not kill people just because you don't like them, unlike you the same."

Situ Jiuyue was taken aback, she had heard the words "different from you" countless times in the past. She ran away when she was young, and others said that she was different from other little girls and was too cold. When she killed people, others said that she was different from other doctors, like an executioner. But she didn't take it to heart once, it's different if it's different, so what? But today's "different" sounded particularly harsh.

Her face gradually darkened.

Jiang Li saw it, her heart moved, and she was about to say a few words to divert the conversation, but Xue Zhao spoke.

Xue Zhaodao: "But if you want to protect someone, you can't avoid killing people. If you want to protect yourself, it doesn't matter if you kill someone."

As he said this, he looked at Situ Jiuyue with a smile, his eyes were kind and tolerant enough to melt ice and snow.

Situ Jiuyue was stunned.

"I have believed since I was a child that the weak are prey to the strong. I don't need others to save me. If anyone harms me, I will kill him." Suddenly, the conversation between myself and Xue Zhao that day appeared in Situ Jiuyue's mind again.

She was telling the truth, so she deliberately frightened those people and made them hate her, which was exactly what she wanted. But if she could do it all over again, if she was still the princess of Molan, if there were no such turmoil, who would want to pick up a poisoned sword instead of fragrant flowers, who would want to live a life of wandering and worrying for no reason?

She felt that she was not wrong, even though she was paranoid, hard-hearted, and indifferent, but this was all forced by life. In order to survive, she transformed herself from an innocent princess into such a monster that everyone feared. People in the world feared her, scolded her, and treated her like a snake, but no one tried to understand why.

As if she was born to enjoy killing for fun.

But the young man in front of him, this young man who is completely different from her, dreams of traveling all over famous mountains and rivers, punishing evil and promoting good, let alone killing people, maybe he has never done anything bad in his life, clean as a piece of white paper, But he was able to stand in front of her and say something close to understanding.

Just like light pulls people out of darkness, just one word can save people.

Xue Zhao said with a smile: "If my whip can kill people, the people around me don't have to kill people. When I am strong enough to protect those close to me, they don't need to pick up a knife to protect themselves. Doctor Situ." When he called Situ, he stubbornly used the word "doctor", although Situ Jiuyue kept emphasizing that she was not a doctor, but a poisonous concubine who would harm people.

Xue Zhaodao: "Is there any way to make a whip the same as a dagger and a sword?"

Situ was silent in September.

She knew that Xue Zhao was helping her out, he was like taking care of an ordinary girl who was humiliated and ugly, so that she would not be embarrassed or lose her composure.

"Yes," she heard her own voice, "poison on the whip."

The poison is quenched on the whip, and when the whip hits people, people will be injured, but it is difficult to kill them. But if you see the poison of blood sealing the throat, it can kill people in an instant.

I really hate poison, but Xue Zhao laughed, and said, "Good idea, then please trouble Dr. Situ, can you give me some poison?"

Wen Renyao didn't understand what Xue Zhao and Situ Jiuyue meant, but felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange. Jiang Li looked at this scene thoughtfully.

"Your brother is really talented." Standing behind Jiang Li, Ji Heng said with a smile.

"You also think..."

"Don't ask me," Ji Heng said, "It has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Li glared at him, she was a little suspicious, and she was not sure for a while, but looking at Xue Zhao and Situ Jiuyue, she felt that this was not bad. At this moment, Old General Ji came out of the house. He was full of tea, his face was flushed, and he looked quite happy. When he walked to Ji Heng's side, he patted Ji Heng's shoulder and said: "Stinky boy, Xue Shangshu told you to go in."

Jiang Li was surprised.

Wen Renyao was also surprised: "What did Mr. Xue ask Ah Heng to go in for?"

"How do I know?" Old General Ji was displeased, "I'm not a gossip, and I'm still asking what he's going to say, hurry up," he said impatiently, "What are you doing standing there?"

Ji Heng went in.

Jiang Yuanbai: Who is the father-in-law? My heart hurts...
