Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 110 Part 3: Rescue

Ji Hengs mind was too deep, indisputably treacherous. Who dared to understand him? Temperamental, this one word, was not just a careless description. Moreover, while in the middle of the drama a few days ago, talking and laughing while solving an assassination, indifferently like wind and cloud handled the assassins, his eyes were ruthless without blinking. Jiang Li took everything in and thought, how could she take this person lightly?

But in the end, Ji Heng still paid attention to her and followed her to Tongxiang.

Jiang Li did not wish to beat around the bush with Ji Heng. Now, her time was too short. Wasting a moment meant that Xue Huai Yuans opportunity of life diminished some. She said, The duke came to Tongxiang to watch a play?

No. Ji Heng softly said, Its to see you.

His eyes were bright, his lips rosy, looking affectionate, just like a truly elegant and beautiful official. However, Jiang Li would not believe such a blatant lie. She smiled and said, So its coming to watch my play.

No way, who makes Miss Jiang second too special, making it difficult for people not to pay attention. Ji Heng held a tea cup in one hand, lightly blowing on the floating tea leaves. He carelessly said, This time, the true purpose of second miss going to Xiangyang is to visit Tongxiang, right? As for the purpose of going to Tongxiang is for the Xue familys case, isnt it?

Jiang Li paused, raised her eyes to look at him, smiled and said, Duke knows everything, why the need to ask me? In such a short period of time, Ji Heng already found out. But she was incapable of preventing this kind of thing from happening.

I dont understand, thus asking second miss. The corner of Ji Hengs mouth raised, Second miss and the Xue family, what is your relationship?

In an instant, his amber pupils turned deeply puzzled, as if truly waiting for Jiang Lis answer. He looked like a wicked young man carrying an evil naivety.

The duke possesses remarkable abilities. If you really want to know, without me saying, you will certainly know. Jiang Li said.

Second miss doesnt seem to be willing to say.

Hasnt duke guessed it since long ago?

Neither of them yielded to the other, both were full of smiles, chatting warmly. Yet the whole place seemed to be full of sparks and blood drawn by knives. Bai Xue and Tonger stood at the side, extremely nervous and did not dare to come out upon seeing the atmosphere.

Ji Heng drank his tea neither fast nor slow. Then he said, Second miss is always invincible, but this time, the matter is not so simple.

The things I do have never been simple. Jiang Li laughed.

Wanting to save Xue Huai Yuan is just a foolish dream. He said.

Jiang Lis fingertips touched the rim of the tea cup. She spoke, as if unintentionally, As long as the lord doesnt get involved, its not a foolish dream.

Oh? Ji Heng smiled, Are you asking me?

If asking is useful, Jiang Li looked at him, I sincerely ask the lord.

Ji Heng looked at her for a while before saying, I originally thought second miss would never be willing to bow your head.

Jiang Li smiled, Then the lord has mistakenly judged me, my bones are very soft.

Ji Heng choked.

But it was as if Jiang Li stubbornly seeked an answer, she asked, I dont know if Lord can agree to my request?

Ji Heng did not reply and asked instead, Second miss probably doesnt know what kind of person you will run into if you meddle in the Xue familys case.

I know. Jiang Li softly interrupted his words.

Ji Heng was slightly startled and looked probingly at Jiang Li. At least, in other peoples eyes, its impossible for Jiang Li and the Xue family to have a relationship. Afraid even Jiang Yuan Bai was not aware that Jiang Li would do such a thing when she arrived in Tongxiang. And in the entire Northern Yan, only a few people knew of the motive behind Xue Huai Yuans case. Jiang Li and the Xue family had nothing to do with each other, no matter from which position, they were not connected. Then would she know?

Ji Heng suddenly recalled the previous Ming Yu Halls examination where Jiang Li borrowed Meng Hong Jins hand to shoot an arrow at Princess Yongning. It seemed that her hatred towards Princess Yongning was not small. If its like so, then it was real when she said that she knew.

A trace of interest flashed in Ji Hengs eyes.

He could not find Jiang Li and Yongnings intersection, also could not find Jiang Li and Xue Huai Yuans intersection. Even any previous relationship between Jiang Li and the two of them could not be found. In fact, because Jiang Lis past was so simple, its very easy to inquire about her former days. But every single thing that she did was aimed at Yongning and the Xue family.

Thats really weird.

Knowing yet still doing it, why should second miss do this? Ji Heng smiled indifferently, Provoking huge trouble for an unrelated person, its not worth it. Or perhaps, something came up in his mind, its not unrelated?

Lord doesnt need to sound me out. Jiang Li said, Lord can ask me if you want to know. The play I am in might not be brilliant, but since the lord wants to watch, I have to do my best to perform the play well.

Im afraid before the play is over, there will be a disaster in advance.

Jiang Li smiled, The duke kindly reminded me, not because worried about me, right?

Wen Ji looked speechlessly from the side. There was practically no woman on earth that could resist the lord. Even if theres no fondness of the lord, occasionally, women would lose themselves. Especially this kind of young girls; it was even more likely for them to fall into the lords traps. However, Jiang second miss had always been sober, there seemed to be an impenetrable defense in her heart and she firmly resisted the lords gentleness.

Not at first, the corner of Ji Hengs mouth raised, saying so much, I am indeed a little bit worried for second miss.

Theres no need, Jiang Li said, nothing will happen to me.

You are so sure, dont you have any worries? Ji Heng shook his head, You dont know what you are facing.

I know, they will send people to kill me even if Im the Jiang familys young miss. Yongning would not be afraid of the consequences even if she was Jiang Yuan Bais daughter. That woman was already crazy, she only thought of torturing the people in the Xue family. As long as she blocked Yongnings road, Yongning would get rid of her without the slightest hesitation. At most she would let Feng Yu Tang carry all the black pots.

Jiang Lis tone was so calm, as if she was not talking about a big matter involving life and death, rather a trivial matter of what to have for dinner. Even Wen Ji couldnt help taking a glance at her.
