Aunt Hu sat for a while, and then left.
When leaving, Jiang Li asked tong'er to take some charcoal blocks to Aunt Hu's yard. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before Jiang Li unveiled Ji shuran's face, aunt Hu's master and servant would freeze to death first.
Aunt Hu said that no matter what Jiang Li asked her to do, she would do anything as long as she could avenge the eldest miss of the Jiang family.
After aunt Hu left, tong'er closed the door of the house and made sure that there was no one else in the house. Then he said, "girl, what aunt Hu said is not necessarily true, but... It's a matter of great importance, and the girl has to investigate it."
"Yes," Bai Xue also said, "if aunt Hu is telling the truth, Ji Shi today is charged with murder. Before he married his family, he made people murder his wife and take him to Jingzhao mansion. Even if it was an official's family, he would have to pay for his life."
Jiang Li waved her hand and said, "aunt Hu's words are only one-sided words. This matter can't be spread out until it comes to an end."
Tong'er and Bai Xue knew that things were important and immediately said that they would not disclose a word to the outside.
Jiang Li's eyes deepened.
At first, she just guessed that Miss Jiang's death was not accidental. A bolder guess was that Ji shuran's miscarriage was not all what it seemed on the surface. She acted as if she had more inside information. But from Aunt Hu's mouth, she also learned such a surprising thing that ye Zhenzhen's death was also related to Ji shuran.
Although Jiang Li said it was only one side of aunt Hu's story, Jiang Li's intuition told herself that she was afraid that what aunt Hu said was indeed true. But there is another thing Jiang Li doesn't understand, that is, at that time, ye Zhenzhen was still alive and Ji shuran was not married. How could she be willing to plan to be a second string for Jiang Yuanbai, or even kill Ye Zhenzhen.
Prior to this, Jiang Yuanbai had no contact with Ji shuran. According to the news Jiang Li heard, Ji shuran was a date of Ye Zhenzhen. Jiang Yuanbai was in love with him. It was impossible for them to have an affair before this, thereby killing their first wife.
If it's true... Jiang Li's heart is cold. Isn't Ji shuran and Jiang Yuanbai another Princess Yongning and shenyurong, poor ye Zhenzhen, taking the same road as her?
Jiang Li was thinking in her heart, and she couldn't find a clue. If you want to know what's going on, you have to start with Ji shuran. But she had no hands to go to the Ji family to inquire. Moreover, the matter of that year was far away. It was even more difficult to find out from the years when Ji shuran was not married.
For the first time, Jiang Li didn't go to Ye's house today because of something in her heart. She locked herself in the house in the yard and thought hard all night.
Tong'er and Bai Xue thought that Jiang Li suddenly got his mother's death, which might be murder. They were so angry and sad that they couldn't help themselves, so they locked themselves in the room. The two came forward to comfort one by one, and Jiang Li listened absently, only letting them not relax and pay attention to the movements of Ji shuran and Jiang Youyao.
At night, when it was dark, Jiang Li sent tong'er and Bai Xue away as usual and stayed in the house by herself.
I don't know what happened to Zhao Ke. But Jiang Li thought that from today on, the fourth thing to be added was to investigate whether Ji shuran had contact with Jiang Yuanbai before she married. If there is contact, is there any other entanglement in private.
It's really a little treacherous to investigate the past of my father and stepmother. But Jiang Li didn't have too many scruples in her heart. For one thing, she was not the real second Miss Jiang. It was really difficult for her to rely on her father for Jiang Yuanbai. Second, at present, Jiang Yuanbai may also be a murderer. She takes possession of Miss Jiang er's body and has to be responsible for Miss Jiang er's life. Can't do other things, but at least this thing, if Miss Jiang Er is still alive, she will find a way to find out the real cause of her mother's death.
Jiang Li clenched the whistle in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and blew softly.
The Jiang mansion was quiet. It was late at night, and everyone slept. With the sound of wind and snow outside, her yard is very far away from the main courtyard. Although it is called Fangfei garden, there is only Lingding tree shadow at night. Instead of Fangfei, it is very desolate. I just feel lonely night cold star, not even a worm's cry.
Zhao Ke didn't come.
Jiang Li frowned, put the white porcelain whistle on her mouth and gently blew it again. The whistle was crisp but not big. It sounded like some kind of bird's balderdash, which was not attractive at night. I don't know how people in the government distinguish.
There is still no Zhao Ke.
Jiang Li is extremely confused. It's not reasonable. Zhao Ke has to go back to Jiang's house every night. At least she whistled twice, and Zhao Ke soon appeared twice. Is it true that he let Ji Heng replace him because he was too dissatisfied with what he ordered? But at least the person who changed should also appear. Or he has a task tonight and is not at home?
Jiang Li waited for a while, but nothing happened. Looking outside, the wind and snow were so heavy that it almost captivated people's eyes. Determined that Zhao Ke should not come, he sighed, stretched out his hand to cover the window and looked back.
This time, Jiang Li almost screamed.
Under the flickering lights, a few days ago, I don't know when there was a person sitting. He is dusting the snowflakes on his robe with his folding fan. He should have just come in from outside, with the chill of wind and snow all over his body. But he wore a crimson robe, so the cold night seemed to have a color, and the room seemed to have a fragrance of love.
He raised his head, revealing a handsome face that turned all sentient beings upside down. His smile was light and confused. His long eyes were full of night, and he said, "what's the matter?"
Jiang Li put down her hand covering her mouth, stepped forward and said, "Lord."
Ji Xuan held her head with a fan handle and looked at her with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
"I saw you blow the whistle twice," Ji Xuan said, "what can I do for Zhao Ke?"
"It's about your family." Jiang Li was a little confused about Ji Heng's purpose for a moment, and she didn't know how to hide it. Thinking that Zhao Ke should have told everything on his side, she didn't hide it.
"I heard you asked my men about your promotion of Ji shuran's miscarriage?"
Jiang Li said, "it's true, but Zhao Ke didn't know the secret."
"Zhao Ke didn't know it was natural," he glanced at Jiang Li and hooked his lips, "I know."
Jiang Li was stunned.
Ji Heng played with the folding fan and casually said, "I know almost all the big and small things in the gaomen mansion in Yanjing City, whether I want to know or not. I happen to know a little about the Jiang family that year."
"Lord Guo," said Jiang Li, "can you tell me?"
"Yes." Ji Heng answered very readily, but the next sentence made Jiang Li frown again, and only heard him say, "little guy, this is your own business, why do you want to ask me?"
His eyes are moving, both deep and shallow. His amber eyes under the light are like wine in a slightly shaking cup. As long as you look more, they will also be intoxicating. However, the wine seems to be mixed with delicious poison, and others are drunk. From the depths, it is terrifying soberness.
"I only know the result, not the reason." Jiang Li said, "after all, I was still young in those days, and I knew too little about Ji shuran."
"Is this the reason you found for yourself?" Ji asked.
"Sort of." Jiang Li said, "is this reason enough to convince the Duke?"
Ji Hu shook his head regretfully, "of course not." But soon, he smiled again, "but since you blew the whistle, I'll tell you all I know about your problems today. So this doesn't prevent me from telling you Ji shuran's inside story. You can ask."
Jiang Li looked at him. This man can be soul-provoking with every move. Even in this way, ordinary conversation can also be provoked by him. It's as close as far away, and I can't figure it out. If I change people, I'm afraid I'm trapped.
"Did Ji shuran have an affair with my father before my mother died?" Jiang Li asked.
Ji Heng looked slightly. He looked at Jiang Li and said with great interest, "it seems that you have found a lot of things again?"
"Just a little."
Ji Xuan said, "No." Seeing Jiang Li staring at him, he added, "Ji Shi had no contact with Jiang Yuanbai before he married Jiang Yuanbai."
Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want the truth to be true. If Jiang Yuanbai really United Ji Shi to kill his first wife, it would be too cruel for ye Zhenzhen, and the real second Miss Jiang was really poor. It is enough to have a Xue Fangfei in the world, and there is no need for more miserable women.
"You seem happy to see it." Ji Tao.
"At least it can be proved that my father is not a murderer. Isn't it worth being happy that the yuan family where I live is safer?"
Ji Heng was noncommittal. He said, "Jiang Yuanbai is not so bold. Ji shuran has no affair with your father, because there is someone else who has an affair with her."
At this moment, Jiang Li was really surprised.
She was naturally gentle and easy, and rarely showed such a surprised look. It looks a little childish, but it's even less like her. Ji Xuan was amused by her expression, supported her chin and said, "why, don't you believe it?"
"I just... Feel strange." Jiang Li said, "I think Ji Shi should be very interested in my father. Over the years, he has also worked hard on my father. In the big room, there are no women except an aunt who has hysteria and can hardly be remembered. Like her, I thought she had a father in her heart, so she had such possessiveness, but I didn't expect that there was someone else in her heart."
It was a cardamom girl after all. When talking about these, she was not ashamed at all. She said it calmly and rationally, as if she had experienced the ups and downs of love, so she could see it so thoroughly. Ji Xuan's eyes flashed slightly, and soon disappeared, saying, "Ji shuran is your father who loves you now, but in those days... She and her cousin have a very close relationship."
Jiang Li stared: "cousin?"
She had never heard of Ji Shi's cousin.
"Ji's cousin, Liu Wencai, was born a little more handsome than Jiang Yuanbai. He was also very romantic with Ji in those days."
It turned out that many years ago, Ji shuran and Liu Wencai had a relationship. The handsome Liu Wencai was born, and she quite understood women's thoughts. Ji shuran, who was in love for the first time, was not Liu Wencai's opponent. It was almost to the point of making a lifelong decision without telling the Ji family and Liu Wencai. Liu Wencai and Ji shuran were also matched, but the family had already found another marriage for him. Ji also had a dream of Liu Wencai coming to marry him, and Liu Wencai had already married someone else.
Ji Shi was angry and determined to revenge Liu Wencai and marry himself. Not only that, but also to marry a better and higher status man than Liu Wencai. However, in Yanjing City, although there are many suitable husbands, they can't be found for a while, which is better and more difficult to find than Liu Wencai. Ji Yanlin made an idea to let Ji shuran marry a colleague's son to get closer. The colleague's son was very fat, and there were countless concubines in the house. How could Ji Shi like it? In this way, Ji Shi was even more anxious.
At this time, by chance, Ji Shi saw Jiang Yuanbai at the banquet. At that time, Jiang Yuanbai was younger. Although he was not as handsome as Liu Wencai, he had his own elegant demeanor. Ji shuran learned that Jiang Yuanbai's position in the court, and weighed it, it was higher than the colleague Ji Yanlin wanted her to marry.
If you can marry Jiang Yuanbai, you can get rid of the nightmare of living with a fat man all day and revenge Liu Wencai. Ji shuran made up her mind that marrying Jiang Yuanbai was the best choice. But the only problem is that Jiang Yuanbai has a wife.
At that time, Jiang Yuanbai just got Jiang pear. I heard that Jiang Yuanbai's wife, ye Zhenzhen, was hurt when she gave birth to a child. Ji shuran had a bold idea in her heart. If ye Zhenzhen died of a serious illness, Jiang Yuanbai would have to marry Xuxian. Ji shuran doesn't care about making a sequel. For her, even making a sequel for Jiang Yuanbai is more beautiful than making a wife for Ji Yanlin's colleague's son.
Ji shuran bought the doctor who diagnosed Ye Zhenzhen's pulse, and made heavy profits to Ye Zhenzhen's servant girl, because everyone didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to have an enemy, let alone someone would do such a crazy thing to marry the yuan family. Ji shuran waited patiently, but she really did it. Ye Zhenzhen is dead.
After ye Zhenzhen's death, Ji shuran revealed that she would rather be the sequel of Jiang Yuanbai than the wife of her colleague's son. The Jiang family has a prominent position in the dynasty, and can also promote relations with the Ji family. Mrs. Ji told Ji Yanlin about this. Ji Yanlin also felt good. Later, the banquet of Ji shuran, the Prime Minister of Jiang Yuanbai, was arranged.
At that banquet, Ji shuran naturally worked hard. Early on, people asked Jiang Yuanbai what song he liked and what kind of dress he liked. Only then did Jiang Yuanbai fall in love with Ji shuran at first sight.
After Ji shuran entered the Jiang family, the servants of Ye Zhenzhen in the past died and scattered. Of course, they were all killed by Ji shuran one by one. Except for Ji shuran's confidant, no one knew about it. As Ji shuran gave birth to two children in the Jiang family, she won't be known.
Ji Heng said, "before Zhao Ke came to the Jiang family, I asked him to inquire about everything that happened in the Jiang family. Wen Ji also found some. All the servants of Mrs. Jiang had an accident within half a year, and none of them were spared. It was really confusing. Unexpectedly, such a secret was found."
Jiang Li was shocked and speechless.
Ji Heng's words, she did not doubt, he was naturally proud, there is no need to lie about such things. But she was shocked by Ji shuran's shamelessness and boldness. If there is any difference between Ji shuran and Princess Yongning, it is that Ji shuran's ruthlessness is hidden under the gentle appearance, and Princess Yongning is not afraid to show it at all.
But what they do is the same activity of killing their wives and heirs.
"Liu Wencai..." Jiang Li murmured, "where is that man now?"
"The Liu family had an accident later, and master Liu was demoted. He left Yanjing city and arrived in Yuzhou, which can't be compared with the Ji family. However..." Ji Xuan looked at her: "Liu Wencai came to Yanjing City eight years ago."
Eight years ago, the year when Jiang Li pushed Ji shuran into miscarriage and was sent to Qingcheng Mountain?
"He came to find Ji shuran?" Jiang Li asked.
"It should be." Ji Jiman said casually, "in this world, many people still enjoy the taste of revisiting their old dreams."
Jiang Li only felt sick in her heart, but she still had to ask what should be asked. She asked, "has Ji shuran revisited her old dream with him?"
"Not only," Ji Hu smiled, "there are evil seeds."
Jiang Li was confused, and then everything seemed to suddenly open up, and she understood everything. Her voice was eager: "is this adulterer the one I pushed down and aborted?"
"Yes," Ji Heng sighed, as if he felt pity for her, and his voice was soft. "For an adulterer, Jiang Yuanbai asked you to go to Qingcheng Mountain. It's a grievance to stay for eight years."
Jiang Li bit her lip: "No, Ji shuran had an affair with Liu Wencai, and no one has found it until now, and no one should have found it at that time. In that case, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to say it, who knows that the child is not the yuan family. Ji shuran would rather not have the child, rather remove the child, and also hurt me to leave home, unless... She was afraid that someone knew that the child was Liu Wencai's, and out of fear, she didn't hesitate to miscarry, but found me... She Afraid I know about it? What do I see? "
It seems that a skylight suddenly appears, and everything has an eyebrow. Before Jiang Li had time to further analyze, he heard Ji Xuan's voice coming from nearby. He said, "I think so, too, but Ali, why do you want to use the identity of a bystander to talk about your own affairs?"
Jiang Li was an exciting spirit, and the opposite was Ji Xuan's smiling eyes.
Just now she was shocked and forgot to cover up, saying "I know what", but it showed a violation. She asked herself like this, but how can ordinary people ask themselves.
"I..." Jiang Li's brain quickly thought about the response, and she said, "I don't know these. I don't remember seeing the relationship between Liu Wencai and Ji shuran, so I asked myself."
After saying this, she wondered herself. If Miss Jiang Er really saw Liu Wencai having an affair with Ji shuran, why didn't she say it at that time? For so many years, why not say? Is it true that Miss Jiang Er didn't see or hear anything, but Ji shuran thought that Miss Jiang Er knew the inside story and would rather kill by mistake than miss the net? Only then did she use Jiang Li's hand to remove the evil seed in her belly and make the Jiang family hate Jiang Li and kill two birds with one stone?
She looked at Ji Heng. Ji Heng obviously didn't believe the answer. Because the way he nodded was perfunctory. It seems that adults have already seen through the child's clumsy lies, and are unwilling to study with the child, so they pretend to nod their heads to express their belief.
But Jiang Li can't care so much. Ji Heng seems to be an omniscient treasure house, and she knows nothing about the yuan family. Her biggest defect can be made up by Ji Heng, so I wish Ji Heng could tell her everything.
"Where is Liu Wencai now?" Jiang Li asked. If you can find Liu Wencai, it can also be regarded as evidence.
Ji Xuan said, "I'm dead."
"Dead?" Jiang Li was surprised.
"Ji shuran personally ordered people to die." Ji Heng said as casually as usual, but it made Jiang Li feel creepy. He said, "before miscarriage, someone was killed. It is said," his smile implied ridicule, "Liu Wencai is still dreaming of being able to rely on Ji shuran to live the life of a rich childe in Yanjing again. Ji shuran promised him money to open a casino in the best area of Yanjing, and died in the house the next day. He was still drunk."
Jiang Li couldn't speak.
One day, husband and wife Bai ri'en, Liu Wencai and Ji shuran also had many years of friendship after all. Even though Liu Wencai later married someone else, Liu Wencai returned to Yanjing many years later. Ji shuran had flesh and blood with him, which shows that Ji shuran is afraid that he still has a lingering love for him.
There is still love, but can you kill him without looking back?
Ji Xuan seemed to see her incomprehension and said, "Ji shuran doesn't love him."
"No love?"
"Liu Wencai is down." Ji Xuandan said, "I have nothing. Ji shuran is the first wife of Fu. How can she still look up to Liu Wencai? She is with Liu Wencai to revenge for Liu Wencai's abandonment. From the beginning, she thought of abandoning Liu Wencai. Not only that, but also the other party's life. No wonder the world wants to say," he sighed: "green bamboo snake mouth, wasp tail needle, both are not poisonous, and the most poisonous woman's heart."
His exclamation, in his tone, was characterized by the carelessness and ridicule of the audience.
"At first, I don't think," said Jiang Li, "I don't think I'm hindering Ji shuran's way. Even if I do, I don't have to take my life. But I understand from what you say. People like Ji shuran are vicious in their bones. Even if I don't provoke her, she will remove me. Because she is vicious."
"Do you know now?" Ji Heng said, "you fought with her. I thought you knew it long ago."
He smiled at the corners of his lips, his tone was leisurely and light, and he said as if he didn't care, but Jiang Li knew that every sentence of Ji Heng was worth pondering. Today, he took the initiative to come and share the secret information he knew with himself. On the surface, he suffered a loss. But in fact, Ji Hong received a lot of goods this time.
He was afraid that he had suspected that there was something wrong with Miss Jiang er.
Jiang Li is not surprised. No matter what Ji Heng guesses, what she wants to do will never change.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng: "anyway, thank you for telling me this."
"Actually, I didn't want to tell you this." Ji Xuan stared at her and said thoughtfully, "you look kind and naive, and the truth is always cruel. But... Ali," when he called "Ali", the original two words, which seemed to contain the meaning of spring, were sentimental. He said, "if you want to live and go further, you must see the facts earlier. Besides, you can accept it, right?"
Jiang Li also smiled and said, "the good medicine tastes bitter, and the good advice is hard to hear. What you say to your majesty is the same to me. It's too late for me to thank you for telling me the truth."
"But it's hard to know the truth and live too soberly."
"Really?" Jiang Li stared into his eyes, "isn't the Duke of the country coming like this?"
For a moment, Jiang Li felt that even the tear moles under his eyes had become more colorful. The smile on his lips froze, or disappeared. Just looking at Jiang Li, his expression was neither provocative nor provocative, he did not examine nor explore, but crossed a very complex thing.
After a while, he laughed again and said, "it seems embarrassing to be seen through by a little girl."
"No one in the world dares to think you disgraced." Jiang Li smiles.
Ji Hu suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.
His fingertips are slightly cool. It's hard to imagine that a person with such a deep and beautiful face doesn't have warmth on his fingertips, as if he also brought cold dew outside. He leaned over, bullied and approached, staring at Jiang Li from top to bottom. His smile deepened at the corners of his mouth, and his tone murmured, "your mouth is so sweet that people want to taste it."
Jiang Li's body froze.
She was not afraid of Ji Hong. Even if Ji Hong was moody and ambitious, the heart of Ji Hong she peered into was not trackless. But when Ji Chen made ambiguous moves towards her, she was a little at a loss. She can't push her away. In fact, she can't. She knew that Ji Chen thought it was funny and was playing a malicious trick, but when the other party's breath was getting closer, she could see the shadow cast by his long eyelashes clearly, and she could see herself clearly in the other party's eyes. Seeing his interesting eyes, seeing his slightly upturned, ruddy mouth... Jiang Li suddenly lowered her eyes, avoided Ji Heng's meaningful eyes, and refused to show her vulnerability to Ji Heng again.
His lips stopped just a millimetre away from her.
Instead, he said with a funny voice, "so you'll still be afraid of me. I thought you had been unscrupulous to me."
Jiang Li was free, and her heart was greatly relieved.
The next moment, Ji Xuan let go of her hand, sat back in her original position, and smiled lazily at her.
Under the light, his appearance couldn't pick out any flaws, with a somewhat gorgeous smile, making him look like a deadly charm.
Jiang Li staggered her eyes again, which was... Too dazzling.
"You're too scared to look at me? Aren't you brave enough?" He took back the fan, stood up again and said, "let's talk about it today. It's not early. You can continue to blow your whistle in the future if you need it. Zhao Ke will answer your questions. Sometimes," he smiled brightly, "I'll come too."
Jiang Li said, "that's not necessary."
"It's not your the final say." He opened the window and left a "goodbye, little guy". The next moment, there was no shadow of this person in the room.
Only the lights flicker, as if there is fragrance.
