Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 110 Part 2: Rescue

“Stay, stay for a few days?”

“Yes.” Jiang Li looked at him, “Master Feng seems to be unhappy?”

“No… no…” Feng Yu Tang smiled and said, “How could it be? Has Miss Jiang second arranged for a good accommodation? If not, this lower official can help.”

“There’s no need, we have a lot of people with us, not going to bother Master Feng with your work.” Jiang Li smiled sarcastically and said, “I think Master Feng should be very busy, no need to send, we will leave immediately.”

Feng Yu Tang just smiled apologetically. Terrible, this Jiang family’s miss was born with a pair of eyes that can see through people. How does she know that he was in a hurry to send a letter to Princess Yongning?

“Then this lower official will… will not send off.” Feng Yu Tang said.

Jiang Li shot him a glance before saying a few words to Ye Ming Yu. Ye Ming Yu placed his sword back into its scabbard at his waist, led Jiang Li, and swaggered off with huge movements in front of Feng Yu Tang.

Feng Yu Tang looked at the rear views of Jiang Li’s group of people and for some reason, he felt very uneasy. He sat for a while, abruptly came out of his daze, kicked his attendant and said, “Quick! Quickly look for a pen and paper for this old gentleman!”

……

Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu exited the doors of the yamen.

When they reached the doorway, an old woman with a hunched posture carrying a barrel of incense pa.s.sed by the road in front of them. She lifted her eyes and gave them a quick measuring look before quickly lowering her eyes. Not turning her head around as she staggered away.

Jiang Li’s mind moved, but Ye Ming Yu spoke at this time. He said, “What’s the matter with that confident county deputy? I’ve never met such a dastardly county deputy. This can be called a county deputy? This kind of person can be a county deputy?

He was brooding over the rudeness Feng Yu Tang showed in his eyes towards Jiang Li.

“It’s okay, uncle Ming Yu, this kind of person won’t stay in his position as a county deputy for long.” Jiang Li comforted him, but she wasn’t happy in the slightest.

Feng Yu Tang actually said that Xue Huai Yuan will be beheaded seven days later? It’s surprisingly hasty! They want to kill her father who had lost his mind, Jiang Li clenched her fists with hatred.

Seven days, she did not have enough time. Within seven days, she must reverse the verdict on Xue Huai Yuan and prevent the sentencing. But at this time, aside from a file that had been tampered with, she did not have anything. Her father went crazy already, if what they said was the fact, father had no way to defend himself. To present a different view for his father, she could only rely on herself.

The people in Tongxiang were intimidated by Feng Yu Tang’s tyranny and did not dare to speak up. All her father’s former subordinates were replaced, their life and death unknown. She returned to Tongxiang, facing the most unfamiliar environment, no matter how she saw it, it was detrimental to her.

But she still had to move forward.

Ye Ming Yu asked, “Ah Li, what should we do now?”

“Let’s go back first,” Jiang Li said, “let me think about it.”

For now, she had not thought about what her next step should be, but time waits for no one, she had to make a decision in this short period of time. But there’s one point, in any event, she would not look on helplessly as Xue Huai Yuan was sentenced. Even if she had to rob the person from the execution ground, she would save her father’s life.

In the middle of her thoughts, suddenly a five to six year old child came over from the distance and shyly pulled the corner of her clothes. Jiang Li lowered her head to see and the little child stuffed a piece of paper into her hand, then turned and ran away.

Ye Ming Yu was curious, “What’s that?”

Jiang Li unfolded the slip of paper and quickly read through it before tearing the paper to shreds. She looked at the second floor of the not so distant wine shop to see a beautiful red in full swing. It looked particularly conspicuous in the wind.

Jiang Li said to Ye Ming Yu, “Uncle Ming Yu, all of you go back first. I have something to do and will come back soon.”

“What are you going to do?” Ye Ming Yu was unwilling, “It’s too dangerous for you alone, I’ll go together with you.”

“Not dangerous,” Jiang Li said, “Uncle Ming Yu, go back first. I know the road, I’ll go back with Tong’er and them later.”

Ye Ming Yu saw Jiang Li’s insistent appearance and very exasperatedly said, “Why not like this, I don’t go back, I’ll stay here. Just now you looked at the side of the wine shop, right? You are going to meet someone? Don’t worry, I won’t follow nor go in and will wait for you over here.”

Since the words had been said like this, Jiang Li could only drop it. Moreover, Ji Heng should not mind Ye Ming Yu being outside. So she said, “Ok, uncle please wait for me here for a while, I will come back soon.”

Ye Ming Yu really brought the group of people to squat at the side of the street, waiting for Jiang Li. Jiang Li, Tong’er and Bai Xue headed towards the wine shop, the doubt in her mind grew deeper.

Why is Ji Heng also here? This time, even a ghost would not believe if he said that he didn’t follow her here.

“Soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth”, she could only walk step by step.

She entered the wine shop.

There wasn’t anybody inside the wine shop. Previously, the shopkeeper still placed a waiter to look after the shop. But this time, not even a waiter was in sight. The bodyguard called Wen Ji was standing at the door, his eyes followed Jiang Li as she came inside.

Presumably, this wine shop had been “handed over” for the time being by the duke. His arrogance was so big. When he’s in the wine shop, other people inside actually had to be expelled. He had enough tyranny.

Jiang Li went up to the second floor.

At a place by the window, the young man dressed in red was pouring tea. His actions as he poured the tea was very proficient, not at all shaky, his movements were like moving clouds and flowing water. Just watching him was pleasing to the eyes.

He poured two cups of tea.

Jiang Li walked to his front and Ji Heng pushed one of the cups that he just poured tea into to her side and made an invite gesture.

Jiang Li sat down opposite him but did not touch the tea cup.

“White hair silver needle, please have a taste, Miss Jiang second.” He said with a friendly smile like an old friend.

“Thank you my Lord, I’m not thirsty.” said Jiang Li.

“Second miss shouldn’t be afraid that I poisoned it, right?” Ji Heng asked with a smile.

Jiang Li smiled and replied, “How’s that possible? If the duke really wants my life, it would be an instant, not likely to do more than what is required and waste a good tea.”

Ji Heng laughed, “You understand me.”

Jiang Li, “Don’t dare.”
