Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 128 Part 4: Discovery

Today, Jiang Li went to see Feng Yu Tang’s execution.

Actually, she did not wish to see these b.l.o.o.d.y scenes. But recalling that Feng Yu Tang was Yongning’s hunting dog, and how he tormented Xue Huaiyuan in prison to the extent that he turned Xue Huaiyuan into what he was now, she must not have any misgivings. Therefore, though it was reeking of blood, she still had to come today and see Feng Yu Tang being sentenced.

After Feng Yu Tang, it would be Yongning and Shen Yurong’s turn.

The mouth of the market was filled with the crowd watching the excitement. The people of Tongxiang had not returned and everyone had already arrived. They threw rocks and vegetables on Feng Yu Tang’s face expressing their resentment. Jiang Li, wearing a bamboo hat, stood far away from the crowd, not letting anyone see her.

Recently, Jiang Yuan Bai had allocated more bodyguards for Jiang Li. Jiang Li’s way of handling things at the palace discussion had resolutely offended Cheng w.a.n.g. Cheng w.a.n.g was bound to search for an opportunity to take revenge. To prepare for any eventualities, these days, Jiang Yuan Bai did not let Jiang Li go out at all. Jiang Li had secretly gone out today.

That day, after the palace discussion, Jiang Yuan Bai asked her why there was Princess Yongning’s involvement in the case at the end. At first, she told Jiang Yuan Bai that it was not Princess Yongning, but the Right Prime Minister Li Zhong Nan. It wasn’t until the palace discussion began that he heard Princess Yongning’s name being mentioned. Jiang Yuan Bai was stunned, supposed he knew that this case had something to do with Princess Yongning, Jiang Yuan Bai definitely would not let Jiang Li to act.

Jiang Li merely said, “Father, this case indeed had something to do with the Right Prime Minister Li Zhong Nan. However, compared with Li Zhong Nan, Princess Yongning’s letter was more exact. You have also seen what happened at the palace discussion, Li Zhong Nan helped Cheng w.a.n.g, he’s Cheng w.a.n.g’s person. To speak of Princess Yongning was also talking about Li Zhong Nan. In the end, the basis is the same.”

“But in the end, Princess Yongning was not convicted of any crime!: Jiagn Yuan Bai said.

“Really?” Jiang Li merely replied with a sentence, “but father, if you look at it again, there will be a day when this charge will apply. Now we just need to know the result ahead of schedule, as for the future, we will see.”

Jiang Yuan Bai was still doubtful, but the matter had reached this point and there was no more leeway. Moreover, Jiang Yuan Bai could also see clearly that on that day, Emperor Hong Xiao’s manner during the palace discussion was clearly inclined towards Jiang Li. Perhaps he was hoping to use Xue’s case to push Cheng w.a.n.g down. In any case, Jiang Yuan Bai could not pretend not to know Emperor Hong Xiao’s att.i.tude. As a result, he could only drop this matter.

But after all, in his heart, he was unhappy with Jiang Li deciding things on her own.

Jiang Li did not pay attention, even if Tong’er and Bai Xue were considered courageous on normal days, seeing the execution being carried, they still covered their eyes. On the contrary, Jiang Li stared at Feng Yu Tang without blinking until he took his last breath.

Feng Yu Tang’s henchmen were captured in one go and Emperor Hong Xiao appointed a new county deputy for Tongxiang, Xiangyang. Although Jiang Li did not know this county deputy very well, at least with Feng Yu Tang’s lesson, he would not dare to take things too far.

Xue Huaiyuan would be staying in the capital. Jiang Li would not be relieved letting Xue Huaiyuan go back by himself. Besides, Emperor Hong Xiao’s golden words were spoken, to invite medical experts from everywhere to treat Xue Huaiyuan’s illness. Jiang Li also intended to let Xue Huaiyuan stay in the capital. By inviting famous physicians from all over, see whether there would be a day when Xue Huaiyuan could get his mind back.

But Jiang Yuan Bai definitely would not agree to him staying in the Jiang residence. Besides, in the Jiang residence, Jiang Li was also afraid that Ji Shuran would make her move on Xue Huaiyuan to get back at her. After thinking about it, she could only entrust Xue Huaiyuan to Ye Ming Yu.

Ye Ming Yu did not plan to go back to Xiangyang for the time being. Now that Ye Shijie had taken a post as an official, Ye Ming Yu suddenly had a thought, wanting to make the Ye family’s business rise in the capital. With the layers of relationship between Jiang Li and Ye Shijie, it could be a.s.sumed that the Ye family’s business would be better than before. Ye Ming Yu wanted to stay together with Ye Shijie, so Xue Huaiyuan was naturally entrusted to Ye Ming Yu. Firstly, Ye Ming Yu’s martial art was pretty good and there were many people from the rivers and lakes beside him. At least, they could protect Xue Huaiyuan’s safety. Secondly, Xue Huaiyuan had been staying with Ye Ming Yu these days, so aside from Jiang Li, Ye Ming Yu was the closest person to him.

Ye Shijie had no objection, while Ye Ming Yu complained incessantly. A good person from the rivers and lakes now actually became a bodyguard and maid following Xue Huaiyuan closely. It was not a simple thing! However, Jiang Li requested him solemnly, Ye Ming Yu was softhearted and could only agree.

After the execution, Jiang Li, together with Tong’er and Bai Xue walked towards the carriage. She was thinking in her mind, for the time being, the matter in Tongxiang had come to an end. Next, she had completely offended Cheng w.a.n.g and Princess Yongning. Perhaps Cheng w.a.n.g would not take action so quickly, but Yongning would definitely come to the door soon.

Very soon, she had to face the culprits who brought injustice to the Xue family, Yongning and Shen Yurong.

The carriage was at the corner of the street. Jiang Li arrived at the carriage and went up with Tong’er’s help. As Tong’er and Bai Xue were about to go up to the carriage, they suddenly heard Jiang Li’s voice from inside: “Wait.”

Tong’er and Bai Xue were confused.

Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at the person in the carriage.

The young man dressed in red not only did not blame himself for being a turtledove occupying the magpie’s nest, instead, he had a graceful and n.o.ble stance. With his hand holding a folding fan, he spoke, full of smiles, “Second miss.”

Jiang Li paused, and sat in front of him, “Duke Su.”

To her surprise, Ji Heng brazenly came inside her carriage. Obviously, the carriage’s driver had been changed long ago.

“Duke Su coming to see me, is anything the matter?” Jiang Li asked.

He said, “You did not come to see me, so I have to come see you.”

Jiang Li pondered a bit, “During the palace discussion, luckily Duke Su spoke on my behalf, Jiang Li can’t thank you enough.”

“No need to feel grateful, it’s Cheng w.a.n.g that’s too stupid, I can’t continue looking.” Jiang Li’s shadow was reflected clearly in his beautiful eyes. Ji Heng said, “However, you have gone beyond my expectation, after going around for so long, you finally brought the things about Xue Fang Fei out.”
