Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 139 Part 3: Meeting

“He….. is in the mansion now?” Jiang Li asked.

“Yes.” Ye Ming Yu said, “He came in the afternoon.” He wanted to complain, but perhaps he was afraid of courting trouble by provoking a powerful person, he only grumbled in a low voice, “No one invited him. When he came, I wanted to chase him out, but he said he has made an appointment to meet with you here, so I have no other option but to invite him in. Thinking that they are all on our side, maybe there’s something that needs to be discussed, your work must not be delayed.”

Jiang Li, “…..” In Ye Ming Yu’s eyes, she and Ji Heng were counted as on their side?

Jiang Li didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. On second thought, Ji Heng met her several times in Tongxiang, did not harm her, and even lent a hand. In other people’s eyes, it was enough reason to indicate that the two of them were in a group.

“Where are they now? I want to see them.” Jiang Li said.

“How do you know he did not come alone?” Yu Ming Yu asked in surprise.

Jiang Li said, “We have communicated in advance.”

“That’s true.” Ye Ming Yu nodded, “If he had not brought anyone over, I would not be at ease letting the two of you meet alone. In any case, you are a young girl, he is a man, should he have any incorrect thoughts towards you….. I’m not a.s.sured. Ah Li, Uncle is telling you, the most important thing in a man is responsibility, not appearance. He looks good, but good looks won’t last a lifetime. When he is older, his face will be full of wrinkles, not as good as a 20 years old beggar on the street”.

Jiang Li, “…..”

Sometimes she really didn’t know whether she should wonder about this uncle’s groundless worries, she just said obediently, “I know, uncle, he will not have the wrong thought about me, and I completely have no interest in him. I look for him for business only. Uncle, it’s better for us to go in and meet him first.”

Ye Ming Yu saw Jiang Li looked impatient and reluctantly nodded, “Okay.”

……

The furnis.h.i.+ngs in the Ye mansion were simple and clean.

Perhaps due to only two big men living in the mansion, even the person taking care of Xue Huai Yuan was a young servant boy. Ye Ming Yu was afraid that someone in Yanjing still wanted to take action on Xue Huai Yuan secretly, especially Princess Yongning, so he handled all matters himself. Even a housefly could not fly out of the Ye mansion’s gate.

Inside the side room in the backyard, three people were sitting around a small table.

Hearing the movement, the three people turned their heads.

“Ah Li is here.” Ye Ming Yu said.

Jiang Li looked inside the room.

Ji Heng smiled towards her. No matter when she saw him, he always looked so dazzling. Sitting inside the empty side room of the Ye mansion, he made the room somewhat brighter.

“Uncle, go back first, I have a few words to say to the duke.” Jiang Li said with a smile.

Ye Ming Yu looked at Jiang Li, then looked at Ji Heng. After restraining himself for a while, he still went out in the end. He said, “I will be in the garden outside, if there’s anything, just call me.”

He still could not trust Ji Heng.

After Ye Ming Yu walked out, the three people in the room also stood up.

There’s a young man at the age of around 18 or 19 years old behind Ji Heng, a handsome and elegant young master wearing white, born indescribably beautiful, with a warm smile on his lips. He walked two steps forward, seized Jiang Li curiously and said, “So this is Miss Jiang second, indeed, seeing for oneself is better than hearing from others.”

Jiang Li had never met a person who acted this familiarly from the first meeting, so she did not speak and just smiled at him. This smile made the young man bolder as he said, “Miss Jiang second is too cute.”

Jiang Li, “…..”

“Wen Ren Yao, if you speak like this again, I’m going to vomit.” From behind Ji Heng, a female voice sounded. Jiang Li peered over and saw a young woman dressed in black walk out.

The young woman did not seem like a citizen of Yanjing as her attire was of a different tribe. All her hair was tied into a meticulous pigtail and fully adorned with black little bells. She had a pretty appearance, but in her pair of watery eyes, there’s an indifferent craftiness. Jiang Li noted that there’s a very small scorpion carved on her hand.

Jiang Li remembered the original purpose of meeting Ji Heng today, but she could not say it directly. So after seeing him, she said, “Many thanks for the duke’s manpower in the matter of Taoist priest Chong Xu.”

Even though Zhao Ke was the one looking for people, there was surely Ji Heng’s tacit approval. Moreover, without Ji Heng giving her the whistle, she would not be able to dispatch Zhao Ke.

Ji Heng’s smile was a bit mean, “It was unexpected, you would use such an embarra.s.sing means of pretending to be a ghost.”

Jiang Li, “…..”

She was aware that her method indeed could not be said as full of stratagems, even no different from those swindlers. Taoist priest Chong Xu performed exorcisms by taking advantage of the ghosts in people’s hearts, and she pretended to be a ghost two days ago, also taking advantage of the ghosts in Ji Shuran’s heart. This was different from how she did things before, with no basis and boldness, just like a child playing house.

The person called Wen Ren Yao, hearing what was said, burst into laughter. He said, “I don’t think Miss Jiang second’s method is ugly, I think….. It’s very cute.” He stared at Jiang Li with a sincere look, looking very friendly.

Jiang Li simply didn’t know how such an amicable person who did not know how to show restraint could live under Ji Heng’s nose.

“But this matter of scamming people, if the second miss has any need, you can look for me.” Wen Ren Yao leaned close to her and said, “I comprehend how to cheat people most. Especially good at scamming…. Women’s hearts.”

Jiang Li choked and coughed suddenly.

Wen Ren Yao looked concerned, “Is Second Miss okay? Did you catch a cold when you went out? The capital is very cold these days…..”

Ji Heng’s fan spread out, obstructing Wen Ren Yao from approaching Jiang Li’s face. He coldly said, “Have you said enough? If enough, get lost.”

“Ah Heng….. You’ve changed…..” Wen Ren Yao’s face looked bitter.

Ji Heng ignored him and said to Jiang Li, “Zhao Ke should have told you that coming here today is to take you to get acquainted with someone who could treat Xue Huai Yuan’s illness.”

Have you set any resolutions for 2025?

My first one is to sleep earlier, by 10pm instead of midnight, yet I’ve broken it every day in the new year >.<.
