Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 130 Part 3: Master

Afraid of touching Li-pin’s sore point, Ji Shuran did not dare to say more. She was still very happy receiving Li-pin’s promise and chatted about family matters for a while before excusing herself.

After Ji Shuran left, Li-pin spoke to her close female servant, Hong Zhu: “Take my invitation card, ask Taoist priest Chong Xu to come.”

Hong Zhu accepted the order and left. Lu Wu said, “Concubine really wants to invite Taoist priest Chong Xu?”

“Of course, Li-pin sighed, “Although this younger sister of mine is confused, her feelings on this one thing are the same as mine.” Her eyes darkened, “Jiang Li must not stay.”

……

In the Jiang residence, Jiang Li had just returned from visiting Xue Huaiyuan in the Ye residence.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qing Feng and Ming Yue hurriedly welcomed her. Once they entered the room, Qingfeng said, “Miss, Ji-s.h.i.+ entered the palace soon after you left.”

“Entered the palace?” Jiang Li sat down and said strangely, “What is she doing in the palace?”

“Slave secretly bribed a servant girl from Warm and Graceful Courtyard and heard that Ji-s.h.i.+ went to the palace to see Li-pin.”

After hearing this, Tong’er was alarmed. She looked at Jiang Li, “Miss, Ji-s.h.i.+ suddenly went to see Li-pin, is it because of your matter?”

“Must be,” Ming Yue nodded at the side, “slave also thought of this. After miss returned to the residence, Ji-s.h.i.+ has been quiet, but that does not mean that she was not plotting something. Meeting Concubine Li at this time, isn’t it because she wants Concubine Li to lead in thinking of a devious move?”

Qing Feng and Ming Yue were nice and proper maids, after being with Tong’er for some time, they were led astray and were blunt when speaking in private. Jiang Li smiled and said, “It’s okay, anyway they cannot deal with me.”

“Just fearing they will use tricks.” Tong’er said solemnly.

“It doesn’t matter.” Jiang Li thought of the small whistle tucked inside her sleeve. Now she had one more chip, Ji Heng said she could blow the whistle if something came up and the person he had arranged inside the Jiang residence would appear. This person could be said to temporarily belong to her and how to use this person should be based on her arrangement.

Perhaps because she thought that she had one more person in her hand to use, or perhaps it’s because she just saw Xue Huaiyuan that Jiang Li felt happy, and she couldn’t stop the smile on her face.

Tong’er looked strangely at Jiang Li and did not understand how she was not on guard and seemed happy after clearly knowing that Ji Shuran was secretly scheming against her?

“Yes, the Marquis of Ningyuan’s residence also sent a post.” Ming Yue took out a post from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Li.

“The Marquis of Ningyuan’s residence?” Bai Xue was astonished, “The heir of Marquis Ningyuan’s marriage is already set, why did he still send a post to Miss?”

“It is not Zhou heir,” Qing Feng said, “Fifth Miss sent the post.”

“Jiang Yu’e?” Jiang Li opened the post, took a look and saw that the post was indeed coming from Jiang Yu’e. It’s written that she had not seen Jiang Li for a long time and invited Jiang Li to go to the Zhou residence to get together.

Jiang Li merely glanced at it before throwing the post to the side.

“Miss?” Tong’er was puzzled.

“I don’t know what she is planning, I really don’t have the mind to deal with her.” Jiang Li said. Jiang Yu’e’s post was short of writing “there’s nothing good in going”. In the Jiang residence, she and Jiang Yu’e never dealt with each other. Jiang Yu’e stood on Jiang You Yao’s side, afterwards, due to the happening in the palace feast, Jiang Yu’e and Jiang You Yao had a falling out and Jiang Yu’e was even disfigured. Even so, that did not mean that the relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Yu’e and Jiang Li was reconciled.

Moreover, Jiang Li thought that a person’s character would not suddenly change greatly within a short period of time. The words written by Jiang Yu’e in this post were extremely gentle, as if another person was writing it. If it were not taken out by Qing Feng and Ming Yue, Jiang Li would definitely suspect that the post was not written by Jiang Yu’e at all.

Jiang Yu’e was so humble just to ask herself to get together at the Zhou residence, Jiang Li did not believe that later on Zhou Yan Bang did not figure out that she had calculated him during the palace feast. He might be unreconciled, afraid he wanted to use Jiang Yu’e hand to do something. She did not want to waste energy to accompany them performing.

“Just ignore it?” Tong’er asked. “Does this slave need to burn it or keep it? Miss still has to reply to the post and refuse.”

Jiang Li pondered for a while and said, “Don’t throw it, find a way to drop it on the road that Jiang You Yao’s servant girl usually pa.s.ses through to let Jiang You Yao see.”

“What’s the reason for doing this?” Bai Xue was puzzled. “When the third miss sees it, wouldn’t she be even more angry?”

“Yes, her brain is not good, once angered, she would do something out of bound. I think with her making a lot of noise, Ji Shuran would be busy coping with her and has no spare time to deal with me, then there will be a few days of peace. Their not dealing with me for the time being will allow me to get to the bottom of what they want to do. Don’t fight a war you’re not prepared for. This battle, won’t it be more exciting if you are prepared?”

The few maids considered it for a while and decided that this was feasible. Thus they discussed how to deliver this post naturally to Jiang You Yao.

Jiang Li sent them out, telling them that she was going to read. She stayed seated in front of the desk and felt the whistle in her sleeve.

The whistle looked cold, it’s hard to believe that one of Ji Heng’s people was hiding in this residence. Jiang Li thought for a while before putting the whistle back.

It’s not very secure now, wait until night time and she would try.

……

At night, the entire residence sank into silence.

Jiang Li let Tong’er and Bai Xue go to sleep, claiming she still wanted to read. After the two servant girls departed, Jiang Li stood by the window, took out the whistle from her sleeve and lightly blew.

She did not know if Ji Heng’s person would hear and in what form they would appear, she wanted to try. She stood calmly and waited patiently.

A moment later, a figure suddenly flashed under the tree in front of the window, and then someone seemed to be standing under the window.

Jiang Li said softly, “Come in.”

The next moment, that person entered by jumping through the window noiselessly and stopped in front of her.
