At the back door of Xihua building, the woman welcoming the guests was the girl Jiang Li saw last time. Seeing Jiang Li, she was also stunned for a moment, but then she laughed and said, "girl, are you looking for qiongzhi again?"
Jiang Li said, "exactly." He handed a silver ticket from his sleeve.
The woman did not refuse. Shi Shi ran took the silver ticket and said to Jiang Li, "girl, please follow me." He personally took Jiang Li to qiongzhi's room.
The girls in xihualou are all smart and know what to ask and what not to ask. Although they don't know the relationship between Jiang Li and qiongzhi, it seems that there was nothing wrong with the last meeting. Moreover, Jiang Li was also generous and wouldn't refuse to help.
Jiang Li was taken to qiongzhi's room.
The woman laughed and said, "qiongzhi is already waiting for you here. If you have any instructions, please call me again." Back down.
Jiang Li opened the door and walked into qiongzhi's room.
I don't know if it's Jiang Li's illusion. Missing these days, qiongzhi lost a lot of weight. It's just that beauty is beauty in the end. Even if she is haggard, it just makes her style more decadent, but there is a kind of beauty she has never seen before. It seems that the safflower will fail, which is more eye-catching.
Jiang Li guessed that maybe qiongzhi was so thin these days because she learned about Xue Zhao's death.
"Here you are." Qiongzhi sat at the table, playing with a messy chessboard on the table. Hearing the movement, she didn't start, but just looked at her.
Jiang Li covered the door and said, "yes."
Qiong Zhi stared at her for a while, and suddenly laughed and said, "it used to be said that Xue Zhao was brave, but now it seems that there is someone here who is braver than him. I don't know how Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Shoufu in Yanjing city look when they know that their daughter is wandering around brothels in Xiangyang."
She knows the identity of Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was silent, walked forward, sat down opposite qiongzhi, and said, "you know."
"Miss Jiang er's impassioned speech in front of Lizheng hall has been spread all over Xiangyang City at present, and it's difficult to know." Qiongzhi sighed, "I just didn't expect that you, the second miss of the Jiang family, came to me."
"I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing." Jiang Li gave a wry smile. She used the reputation of the Jiang family to help the Ye family deal with Tong Zhiyang, but she also exposed her identity. What you want to do in the future will inevitably be recognized. Maybe it's good to be like Ji Heng. No one knows his identity. Those who know his identity, but won't make trouble for themselves, take the initiative to say it.
"There's only one thing I want to ask you," said qiongzhi, playing with the bracelet on her wrist. There were thin bells hanging on the silver bracelet. As she fiddled with it, it made a jingling sound, which was very exquisite. She asked, "why do you know the Xue family? I already know the past deeds of Miss Jiang Er, and in my opinion, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Xue family."
Qiongzhi is a capable person. Among her benefactors, there are Xiake and court officials, which can't be underestimated, so Jiang Li asked qiongzhi to inquire about Tongxiang. It happens that Miss Jiang Er is not an ordinary person. Her affairs, let alone Yanjing, or other places in Beiyan, are also known to some extent. You will know those "great achievements" after a little inquiry. In this way, Miss Jiang ER and the Xue family are two different kinds of people. It's understandable that qiongzhi will doubt them if they get mixed up.
Jiang Li was silent for a long time and said, "I know Xue Zhao's sister." Before qiongzhi asked, she continued, "you don't have to doubt how I met Xue Fangfei. I really want to avenge Xue Fangfei. I can't tell you anything more, but you can only trust me now."
Qiongzhi was stunned and looked up at Jiang Li seriously.
"As I said, I know your feelings for Xue Zhao, but now that Xue Zhao is dead, you also want to revenge for Xue Zhao, but in fact, you can't do anything. But I can," Jiang Li said here, with a faint smile, "I'm the daughter of Jiang Yuanbai, the daughter of the first daughter. If the other party is powerful, I'm not afraid. Only I can revenge for Xue Zhao, and you can only trust me."
Qiong Zhi pulled at the corners of her mouth, about to show a sarcastic smile, but finally she sighed gently, half helpless and half unwilling, and said, "you already know that I can only trust you."
Jiang Li's heart was just released, but her face was still calm and said with a smile, "in fact, you don't have to worry about it. Telling me about Tongxiang won't affect you."
Qiongzhi is a smart girl. Although her intelligence is not reflected in talent and learning, she is familiar with human feelings and the old capital of the world. People who live in the market all year round are more likely to observe their words and expressions. Women like qiongzhi, who grew up in Hualou, are more alert than ordinary people.
"Now, can you tell me about Tongxiang?" Jiang Li asked.
"Do you really want to know?" Asked qiongzhi.
Jiang Li's hand closed in her sleeve was slightly clenched unconsciously, and her heart seemed to be held up by a silk thread, dangling in the air.
"It doesn't matter to tell you that the Xue family is down. These days, I always welcome many guests, and finally get a clue." She first glanced at Jiang Li and lowered her tone, "Originally, I thought that maybe Xue Zhao's death was an absurd speech made up by you, and there was still a trace of luck in my heart. Until I met a noble man who had just returned from visiting relatives in Yanjing, she told me that Xue Fangfei, the wife of the number one scholar, was indeed losing weight and dying because of her affair with others. Her brother Xue Zhao, who was killed by bandits on the way to Yanjing, was dumped in the corpse River, just like what you said."
"That's all about Yanjing," said Jiang Li. "How about xuehuaiyuan in Tongxiang?"
I don't know if her tone showed a trace of eagerness, which was caught by qiongzhi. Qiongzhi paused and looked at Jiang Li inquiringly, "this is what I don't understand. You said Xue Huaiyuan died six months ago. Let me ask why Xue Huaiyuan died and where he was buried, but Xue Huaiyuan didn't die."
"What did you say?" Jiang Li couldn't help exclaiming.
For a long time, in front of qiongzhi, Miss Jiang ER was calm and magnanimous, and she never lost her temper. But at the beginning, no one could see what she wanted to do.
Lu Ji can feel that Jiang Li must be doing something very important to her when she goes to see qiongzhi, and it must not be a small thing that can make Jiang Li 'lose her mind' who has always been calm. But the problem is that they don't know what Jiang Li is going to do. Even if they know, they may not be able to spy on the purpose of Jiang Li's doing so. She's really strange. Everything in the past is simple and direct. It's as transparent as a slight check, but even after checking all her deeds, I still feel that her whole body is a mystery.
Lu Ji couldn't help glancing at Ji Chen. About the unsolvable mystery, Miss Jiang ER was quite similar to Ji Chen, the Duke of the state of Su.
"I don't know." Ji Heng said, "but I will soon know."
"I think the real purpose of Jiang Li's return to Xiangyang is about to appear. In fact, I'm also curious," Ji Heng said with a smile, "what does she want to do?"
……
Jiang Li didn't know everything about herself and had long been seen. But even if she knew, at present, she was not in the mood to deal with Ji Heng. Her mind was full of Xue Huaiyuan's crazy imprisonment, and she didn't know whether it should be joy or sorrow at the moment.
The joy is that there is still a life in the end, and their father and daughter will not be separated forever. Sadly, crazy Xue Huaiyuan may never recognize his daughter again. Even if they are reunited, they may not recognize each other for life.
God is like this. It seems that there is a glimmer of vitality, but after the vitality, there is deeper despair.
Jiang Li sat at the table stupidly.
Tong'er and Bai Xue asked several times, but Jiang Li didn't tell them what happened. In the end, it's not just boredom or something. Just let tong'er and Bai Xue go out and stay in the house by themselves. The two servant girls were afraid that she would do something stupid. They simply sat in front of the door, their ears close to the door, and listened carefully to the movement inside. Plan to break in once there is something wrong, and never let Jiang Li have an accident.
Jiang Li silently buried her face in her arms.
As long as you think of what Yongning and Shen Yurong did to Xue Huaiyuan, Jiang Li can't wait to tear them all to pieces. When Xue Huaiyuan had an accident, Jiang Li doesn't believe that Shen Yurong knows nothing about it! It was Xue Zhao who had an accident. If Yongning made his own decision, Xue Zhao's people had disappeared, and Shen Yurong had nothing to do. But now Xue Huaiyuan is not dead, and Shen Yurong just watched Xue Huaiyuan suffer!
When Shen Yurong came to Tongxiang at the beginning, Xue Huaiyuan mentioned that he would be a teacher for one day and a father for life. He didn't expect Shen Yurong to treat Xue Huaiyuan as his father, but he should also have a little conscience for this friendship between teachers and students.
These are simply two inhuman beasts!
What's more annoying is that even if you can see Yongning and Shen Yurong, you can't immediately avenge the Xue family. Not to mention the bodyguards around them, Jiang Li couldn't get close to them. One life for one life was also cheap for them. If the Xue family's grievances are not cleared up and their ugly faces are not exposed in front of others, it is not over!
Jiang Li hated it in her heart, but she knew that the more important thing now was not revenge, but to save Xue Huaiyuan from prison. If the news qiongzhi heard is true, now Xue Huaiyuan is in prison, I'm afraid it's not just bad food and clothing. Yongning will not let Xue Huaiyuan go, and will secretly arrange people to give Xue Huaiyuan a hard time. Xue Huaiyuan is old, if he can't endure... Jiang Li doesn't dare to think about it.
She stood up at once, and without delay, she must hurry back to Tongxiang as soon as possible!
Just thinking, the voice of tong'er and Bai Xue came from the door. Bai Xue said, "Third Master, you are here, and our girl is inside..."
Ye Mingyu? Jiang Li got up and opened the door. Before Bai Xue finished speaking, she saw Jiang Li come out first, and then looked at Jiang Li's face. For example, she was better, and her heart was relieved.
Jiang Li said, "Uncle Ming Yu."
"I came to you on purpose." Ye Mingyu didn't notice the different faces of the two servant girls today. He went to the room first and sat down a few minutes ago, laughing, "ah Li, you don't know, the eldest brother and the second brother went to the weaving field. The people in the weaving field saw our peacock feather and thought they could try it. I think the method you said is about to work. If it works, our Ye family may have another kind of fresh cloth besides antique satin. You are a great hero!"
Jiang Li reluctantly smiled. If she learned the news before she went to see qiongzhi, she would be happy for the Ye family. However, at present, her heart is all about the whereabouts of Xue Huaiyuan in Tongxiang, and she has no intention to be distracted by the weaving of the Ye family anyway.
"Then congratulations to Uncle Ming Yu." Jiang Li said, "if it's really successful, uncle Ming Yu should be the greatest contributor to this matter. If Uncle Ming Yu hadn't found those peacock feathers, I couldn't think of this way."
Ye Mingyu heard the words, He laughed and said: "I just like ah Li, and I don't take credit for it! Don't worry, the eldest brother and the second brother praised me just now when they were in the weaving field. They also said that if this time was successful, they would give me a caravan with martial arts skills in the future, so that I could run more all year round and come back when I saw some rare things. I thought about whether to let Rufeng go with me. He has a business mind, and he might get more with me. Besides, boys should Walk more, broaden your horizons, and stay in Xiangyang City all day long. It won't be a big deal. "
Jiang Li followed with a smile and said absently, "that's also good."
"Ah Li, you're from Yanjing city. I heard that the school examination not long ago was the top one again. I think you're a very knowledgeable person. I thought, if the cloth made of peacock feathers comes out, what name should it take? Like antique satin, you can hear the taste at once, but it's not tacky. What's your good proposal?"
Ye Mingyu has nothing to do with the business of the Ye family on weekdays. I don't know if it's because he is proud of the credit of peacock feather he found this time that he also cares about these small things. Also humbly seek advice from Jiang Li.
On weekdays, Jiang Li is happy to communicate these trivial matters with Ye Mingyu, so as to narrow the relationship with Ye's family. But after seeing qiongzhi, Jiang Li knew that every moment of lost time was an opportunity. The longer time passes, the more unfavorable it will be for Xue Huaiyuan.
She is not a daughter who can watch her biological father suffer in prison.
"Uncle Mingyu, I have one thing to ask." Jiang Li interrupted Ye Mingyu's chatter.
Ye Mingyu was stunned. Seeing his niece, her face was rare and serious. She couldn't help sitting up straight and asked, "what's the matter?"
Jiang Li took a deep breath: "I want to go to Tongxiang."
