Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 120 Part 1: Tenderness

“Ah Li?”

Ah Shun was shocked and looked at the person with astonishment. How, this county deputy Xue, how does he know miss cousin? And still called her so familiarly?

Jiang Li was also stunned. She slowly lowered her head, breathed lightly, and looked at the person she was hugging. Father….. Did not lose his mind? A burst of ecstasy burst in her heart.

But the ecstasy very soon disappeared.

Xue Huai Yuan opened his eyes, but did not look at her. Instead, he was looking at the stone wall, or more like the splash of dirt on the wall. He struggled to get out of Jiang Li’s hand and quickly returned to the corner he was at before. From the ground, he hugged the straws with both hands and tightly held it in his bosom, as if afraid that someone would take it away. He mumbled, “Ah Li….. Ah Li…..”

Jiang Li’s nose was sour, her tears about to fall again. Father was not sober, therefore, he kept calling the name “Ah Li”. However, because this name occupied a very important part in his life, so even after he had gone mad, his mouth still muttered this name.

That’s right, she laughed at herself, even if father has not lost his mind, he still might not necessarily be able to recognize her standing in front of him. She is not “Ah Li”, but “Jiang Li”.

“Miss cousin?” Ah Shun was somewhat uneasy.

Jiang Li turned her head and said, “I’m fine.” There was a sharp pain in her heart as she looked at Xue Huai Yuan who had withdrawn to the corner and was talking to himself. She knew that she should not make so many unreasonable demands, at least her father was still alive. It was already a very lucky thing that in the midst of unfortunate things, the father and daughter still had the chance to meet in their lifetime. However, upon seeing this kind of father, in her heart, Jiang Li wished she could chop Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning to pieces. Even so, it was still difficult to reduce the ache in her heart.

She said, “I’ll take County Deputy Xue out. County Deputy Xue’s body is too weak, so please ask uncle to look for the best doctor in Tongxiang to come and take a look.”

When butcher Zhang saw his benefactor looking like this, he also extremely hated Feng Yu Tang. Hearing Jiang Li’s instructions, without saying a word, he immediately went out to look for a doctor.

Originally, Ah Shun wanted to help support Xue Huai Yuan, however, Jiang Li had already personally supported Xue Huai Yuan. She did not disdain the stench and filth on Xue Huai Yuan’s body in the slightest, and gently and carefully supported his shoulder and pulled his arm. The current Xue Huai Yuan was just like a two or three years old child, dancing around, flailing his arms. In a careless moment, he slapped Jiang Li’s face and a dirty hand print immediately appeared on the fair face.

Ah Shun could not stand looking at this and said, “Miss cousin, better let me do it.”

“I’ll do it.” Jiang Li only said two words, but it was in a firm tone. Ah Shun withdrew the hand he had extended. This miss cousin always had a lot of patience, gentle in treating the Ye family members and towards strangers. However, this was the first time Ah Shun saw Jiang Li with this kind of patient appearance, as if Xue Huai Yuan was the most precious thing in the world for her and she was willing to give all her heart and soul to take care of him.

Jiang Li supported Xue Huai Yuan out of prison.

Ah Shun asked, “Miss cousin, the remaining people…..”

Feng Yu Tang did not make distinction between good and evil and put profit before anything else. Those locked up in prison might have been wrongly accused like Xue Huai Yuan, good people who became scapegoats. Xue Huai Yuan was not out, then what about the remaining people?

“Don’t worry.” Jiang Li said, “Let someone send their files over in the evening. If there’s any doubtful point, I’ll bring it out. Feng Yu Tang was, in the end, the county deputy of Tongxiang. After this incident, the court would very quickly dispatched a new county deputy. At that time, ask for these cases to be re-examined and it would not wrong the people.”

Ah Shun was relieved.

As they walked to the gate of the yamen, Xue Huai Yuan seemed to have seen something frightening and suddenly screamed loudly and unwilling to walk forward. Jiang Li was extremely sad looking at him this way. At once, Ah Shun asked people to pull Xue Huai Yuan, but they did not dare to put too much strength. After all, Xue Huai Yuan was too thin, they were afraid if they were too heavy-handed, Xue Huai Yuan’s bones would snap.

Ye Ming Yu saw Jiang Li from afar and walked over to say, “Ah Li, why did you come back so quickly? Feng Yu Tang has been beaten half dead, if it were not because he still has some use and let people stop, today, his life would have been over. Hey, you brought County Deputy Xue back…..” Ye Ming Yu stopped talking abruptly when he saw the sorry figure of Xue Huai Yuan.

Anyone who knew Xue Huai Yuan in the past would be unable to say a word looking at his current appearance. The always vigorous, upright good official was now reduced to such a look.

Ye Ming Yu was stunned for a moment before saying, “County deputy Xue is too pitiful…..”

Jiang Li said, “Uncle, I ask uncle Zhang to invite a physician, first let the physician take a look at County Deputy Xue. I’m afraid County Deputy Xue’s body is extremely weak now. He still has to go to Xiangyang, then Yanjing. If his body is not taken care of, afraid it will be very difficult.” She glanced at the other side and said, “There are a lot of prisoners’ carriages in the prison, bring one out and give one for Feng Yu Tang. No need to wait for Tong Zhi Yang’s transfer order, just directly go to Xiangyang.”

Ye Ming Yu nodded subconsciously. He asked, “Those officials in Dongshan should not be okay to be let out, right? Feng Yu Tang’s people have either been arrested or ran away and they are no longer dangerous.”

Jiang Li nodded, “Thank you, uncle.”

Ye Ming Yu sensed that Jiang Li’s mood seemed to be very bad, but he was relieved after thinking about it. Since Jiang Li had taken a lot of trouble and expended a great deal of effort to save Xue Huai Yuan and take him out of prison, she naturally had a friends.h.i.+p with Xue Huai Yuan. Now Xue Huai Yuan had become like this, even he, as an outsider, also sighed endlessly, not to mention Jiang Li.

Sigh, in this world, why does an especially good person receive so much injustice?

……

Physician Zhong who was looking after Peng Xiao and the others were invited to take a look at Xue Huai Yuan.

Feng Yu Tang had become a “prisoner”, so physician Zhong was no longer afraid of being retaliated against and he did not need to take silvers and escape. He was also meticulous when checking Xue Huai Yuan.
