Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 111 Part 1: Mute Grandmother
Jiang Li walked out of the wine shop.
Ye Ming Yu squatted at the side of the road for a long time. Seeing Jiang Li walking over, he spat the grass he was chewing and asked, How? Done talking? He did not ask who Jiang Li was meeting and what she did. If it was Ye Jia Er, he definitely had to ask. But with Jiang Li, there were times that he felt that as a young generation, Jiang Li displayed more ideas than her peers and theres no need to worry. The more important thing was, Ye Ming Yu believed even if he asked Jiang Li, Jiang Li would not say.
Why waste the effort? Then no need to ask.
Jiang Li nodded, Done talking. Uncle, lets go back.
Jiang Li didnt take both the matter of meeting Ji Heng and their conversation too seriously. Although the rumor said that Ji Heng was a moody person, Jiang Li thought that it was just his outlook. His behavior had his own purpose. After their several confrontations, in addition to her seriously mulling over afterwards, the possibility of Ji Heng breaking up her plan was indeed very small. Even if she had truly delayed Ji Hengs matter, for Ji Heng, it was just an insignificant matter. Its not worth it for him to personally dispose of her. Therefore, coming to Tongxiang from Xiangyang was because her action was too strange and he wanted to be an audience.
Thats fine, watch a play then go watch a play. She never feared becoming an actress, but this plays beginning to end must be grasped by her only.
Ji Heng was not important, the more important matter was her fathers sentencing seven days later. She could not find the evidence to reverse the verdict on her father, so she had to prepare for the worst and plan to rob the execution ground well. However, whether the robbing was successful, it could be considered a success if it would not implicate too widely in the future, which was something that had to be considered seriously. Therefore, the most comprehensive method was still finding evidence.
Ye Ming Yu heard Jiang Li said to go back and agreed cheerfully. They temporarily lived in a familys guesthouse located in Qingshi Lane, not far from the bestowed Xue familys house. Presumably, Feng Yu Tangs people would pay attention to where they were staying; choosing Qingshi Lane was indeed too eye-catching. But Jiang Li precisely wanted to strike a drum, she wanted to let Feng Yu Tang know that she had come to settle the account after autumn.
When they returned to the guesthouse, Ye Ming Yu sent people to the alley to get something to eat and conveniently asked about the security in this area. Jiang Li stayed inside the room, Ye Ming Yu held the Xue familys file and gave it to Jiang Li, not daring to disturb her. He only let Tonger and Bai Xue wait in the door to serve. They could help if Jiang Li wanted to drink tea or eat something.
Jiang Li was looking at the files seriously.
If its possible, she must find a doubtful point and a loophole in the Xue familys case. Grab this doubtful point and loophole tight, not let go, and investigate step by step. If it did not work, she could also deliberately magnify it, obscure the facts and fight for time for Xue Huai Yuan.
Feng Yu Tang should have made this file, perhaps based on Princess Yongnings instruction. This Xue family files made by Feng Yu Tangs unexpectedly hid everything flawlessly, and described Xue Huai Yuan as a greedy official who committed all kinds of evil deeds, too many crimes to count. Jiang Li read through and wanted to laugh sarcastically.
Not one of the things written inside had been done by Xue Huai Yuan. On the contrary, each deed was inseparable from the current county deputy of Tongxiang, Feng Yu Tang. Unfortunately, Xue Huai Yuan pleaded guilty. Jiang Li could imagine what they did in order to make Xue Huai Yuan admit the crimes. Perhaps this was the reason why Xue Huai Yuan was tortured until he lost his mind.
In some ways, this file could be said to be flawless. Feng Yu Tang should have spent a lot of effort before arranging these crimes on Xue Huai Yuan. But because the people in Tongxiang were aware of what kind of person Xue Huai Yuan was, these things appeared especially ridiculous.
Jiang Li read very quickly.
A few loopholes could be found in the files. For instance, saying that Xue Huai Yuan was greedy and corrupted the silver for disaster relief which was dug out from the Xue familys back garden. However, the silver for disaster relief in that year had clearly been distributed thoroughly to the hands of every commoner. The newly discovered silver was probably supplied by the person instructed by Yongning.
Feng Yu Tang could add baseless offense to Xue Huai Yuan, but he could not erase Xue Huai Yuans previous benevolence and political merit. Jiang Li grabbed this point tightly for a chance to fight for ue Huai Yuan.
Still not enough. Jiang Li muttered, this was nowhere near enough. Using this little chance to Xue Huai Yuan was really not worth mentioning. Once Yongning detected this, based on Feng Yu Tangs identity at present, he could falsify again and add more details. This evidence would then become useless.
Must make Feng Yu Tang unable to do anything, even if he was the current county deputy in Tongxiang, he must not get involved in the Xue familys case. How to do this.. Jiang Li racked her brain.
Tonger entered quietly to pour tea for Jiang Li. Jiang Li was absorbed in her thinking and did not see Tonger pouring the tea by her hand. Pressing back her nausea, she reached her hand out and the teacup fell on the ground with a bang, splashing the boiling hot tea onto Jiang Lis arm in its entirety.
Heavens! Tonger cried out in fear then took a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Li in a rush. While wiping, she said, Miss, are you okay, miss? Bai Xue, bring the ointment for burns over!
Bai Xue left hurriedly. Ye Ming Yu heard the movements and came over to take a look without delay. He said, Whats going on? What happened?
Tonger blamed herself and her tears about to fall. She said, Its this servant thats not good, this servant poured tea and let the tea scalded the young lady. May there be no scars, but how to do it.
Ah Li, are you okay? Does it hurt? Ye Ming Yu turned his head to look at Jiang Li but saw Jiang Li stayed in her seat while looking at the broken teacup on the floor, lost in thought.
Ye Ming Yu thought that Jiang Li was stunned from the pain, took a few steps forward hurriedly, stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of Jiang Li. He said, Ah Li? Ah Li?
Jiang Li looked distractedly at him, as if just reacting. Immediately after, she stood up and excitedly said, I know, I know already!
Know about what? Ye Ming Yu was unable to make any sense, Tonger was also baffled.
