Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 126 Part 1: Broke Free

Time flew quickly and soon it was three days later.

These three days, Jiang Li did not do anything at home, just like before while in Tongxiang, with Ye Ming Yu looking after Xue Huaiyuan. Everyday a person was sent to the guest house where the residents of Tongxiang stayed to see their well being.

As the most important witness, Feng Yu Tang was already taken into custody by the Ministry of Justice, while the commoners were carefully protected. Jiang Yuan Bai actually did not come to Jiang Li. Probably he was too vexed. If the Xue’s case truly involved the Right Minster Li family, Jiang Yuan Bai was naturally also trapped.

Jiang Li did not mind that Jiang Yuan Bai did not help her. It’s already very good as long as Jiang Yuan Bai did not listen to Ji Shuran’s pillow talk which might have caused a disturbance at this critical junction and obstructed her. Of course, Emperor Hong Xiao had promised to personally oversee this case, so Jiang Yuan Bai was powerless even if he really wanted to stop it.

Could only quietly wait for the day the case would be examined.

When the day arrived, Jiang Li woke very early. Emperor Hong Xiao said that Jiang Li had to enter the palace for the case to be handled in front of the emperor. This time it’s different from the time when she entered the palace for the palace feast, this time, she would have gotten Cheng w.a.n.g and Princess Yongning’s attention, in addition, Shen Yurong’s. Princess Yongning must be driven mad with anger and might dare to take action on her even in the palace. However, she could not take any weapons when entering the palace. Even the dagger given by Jiang Jing Rui could not be taken into the palace at this time.

At the moment, Jiang Li envied Ji Heng’s fan. Suffice to say, Ji Heng was able to enter the palace while shaking his fan. That fan was outrageously gorgeous and exquisite, who would have thought that it was a sharp weapon that could take people’s lives through opening and closing.

In the end, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was, just like the fan’s owner.

As she was lost in thought, Tong’er said with a smile from behind her, “Miss, your hairdo is done, see how it is?”

Jiang Li looked at her reflection in the mirror. Tong’er was skillful with her hands, but Jiang Li only asked her to comb her hair into a simple bun with black cloth covering her hair, without a single adornment. Against her spotless white face and her charming brows, she appeared more refined.

Originally, Tong’er felt that Jiang Li was dressed too plainly, but she was satisfied after looking at Jiang Li. She said, “Miss is really good-looking, whatever hairdo is done, you still look good.”

Bai Xue walked in with a cloak, hesitated for a while before asking, “Miss, isn’t what you are wearing too simple? Will master get angry?”

Jiang Li took the snow white cloak and draped it on her shoulder. She said, “It’s fine, only like this will it express that I attach importance to Xue’s case.”

She turned, white clothes and black hair, looking indescribably elegant. She said, “Let’s go.”

Jiang Yuan Bai’s carriage was already waiting outside. As the court’s advisor, Jiang Yuan Bai also had to watch the trial together.However, his wife and children did not have to enter the palace. Jiang Li just came out of her courtyard and immediately saw Ji Shuran and Jiang You Yao.

Ji Shuran paused her movement, smiled at Jiang Li and said, “Li-er, why are you entering the palace so early?”

“Seems that second sister is in a hurry to enter the palace to redress the injustice of the Xue family.” Jiang You Yao sneered, “I didn’t know there’s a female scholar that wants to be an impartial official in our family. It’s good as long as you don’t incur disaster to the family.”

“You Yao!” Ji Shuran stopped Jiang You Yao’s words and apologized to Jiang Li. “You Yao is just joking, don’t take it to heart, Li-er.”

Jiang Li smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter.” She turned slightly to the side and directly walked away, pa.s.sing the mother and daughter, not even saying even one more sentence. However, the more she was like this, the more Jiang You Yao became indignant. She felt more and more that Jiang Li did not take her in her eyes at all. She stamped her feet inwardly and while clenching her teeth, said, “Mother, look at her!”

“It’s fine.” The smile on Ji Shuran’s face also faded. Looking at Jiang Li’s back view, she said indifferently, “Just see until when she can continue to be rampant?”

Jiang Li walked with Tong’er forward. After not seeing Jiang You Yao in this period of time, Jiang You Yao had become even more stupid. Perhaps it was because her marriage with Zhou Yan Bang fell through, her impetuousness could be seen on her face. Jiang Li did not forget that Ji Shuran had sent people to act on her. At first, she thought it was best to live together in harmony, but it’s impossible now.

Wait for Xue’s case to be solved, after that, she must settle matters with Ji Shuran.

Only by cleaning all these little demons could she concentrate in her fight. To Princess Yongning, to Shen Yurong, to Cheng w.a.n.g.

When she reached the residence’s gate, Jiang Yuan Bai’s carriage was already parked.

In the carriage behind, Ye Ming Yu poked his head out from inside and greeted Jiang in a low voice, “Ah Li!”

Jiang Li smiled and replied, “Uncle.”

Ye Ming Yu and Xue Huaiyuan were in the same carriage. Today, Xue Huaiyuan was also called to the palace hall. Jiang Li was afraid some accidents might happen midway. Letting Xue Huaiyuan appear like this right in front of Yongning, the murderer, Jiang Li feared Yongning might use some tricks. After finding out that Princess Yongning was the mastermind, Ye Ming Yu also treated this matter as very important and promised to follow Xue Huaiyuan closely, not giving Princess Yongning any chance to start.

Jiang Li got into the carriage.

Tong’er lifted the carriage curtain a bit and was blown by the wind and snow that her eyes nearly could not be opened. She said, “Miss, the snow outside is very strong.”

Jiang Li glanced outside, that’s right, the wind and snow during winter in Northern Yan is always strong. Today can be considered unusually big, the big goose feather snow blew obliquely, the sky and earth are connected.

“It’s better to wait for the wind to come.” Jiang Li smiled.

When the wind came, blowing through the chaos, the truth would come to light.

……

The road to the palace was actually not too far, but Jiang Li felt that the road was very long today.

Perhaps she had waited for this time for too long. When she was Xue Fang Fei, she was not able to wait and died immediately. Now the unjust treatment of the whole Xue family could at least be fished out from under the deep, dark pool. Seeing a bit of light, the corner of the pretense must be torn open and the truth be exposed. Jiang Li felt her blood boiling even on the current cold winter day.

It’s unknown how long had pa.s.sed before the carriage stopped.

A voice sounded outside, “Master, we have arrived.”

When Jiang Li got off the carriage, Jiang Yuan Bai was already standing outside the carriage. He looked complicatedly at this daughter of his. He sometimes felt guilty towards this daughter, sometimes angry, but nowadays, he felt more unfamiliar and powerless. He could not manage Jiang Li’s thoughts, many times, he even could not control her actions. Jiang Li could always find other means to reach her goal.

“I’m now going to see the emperor first.” Jiang Yuan Bai looked at her. “Your third uncle and you must first go to the master in the Ministry of Justice. A subordinate will bring the two of you over.” He paused before continuing, “You….. be careful in everything.”

Jiang Yuan Bai also realized the complexity behind Xue’s case would land Jiang Li in danger. Just like what Jiang Li said, the person behind this was really the Right Minister Li Zhong Nan. Li Zhong Nan would certainly vent this resentment on Jiang Li. Many souls suffered unjust deaths in the palace, after all, Jiang Li was his flesh and blood.

“I know, thank you, father.” Jiang Li smiled and said, “Don’t worry, father, with uncle Ming Yu accompanying me, there won’t be any accidents.”

She actually had so much confidence in the Ye family, Jiang Yuan Bai felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. Without saying more, he left first.

Ye Ming Yu supported Xue Huaiyuan to get down from the carriage and said, “What did your father say?” Jiang Yuan Bai and Ye Ming Yu mutually hated each other, so as much as possible they avoided talking to each other. If it weren’t out of necessity, Ye Ming Yu would not even be willing to face Jiang Yuan Bai on weekdays.

“Nothing, just reminding us to be careful in everything.”

“Could someone take action on us in the palace?” Ye Ming Yu became nervous, “Impossible, right? Who dares to be so audacious under the foot of the emperor?”

“The heart of guarding against others must not be neglected.” Jiang Li said, “However, there should not be any danger, let’s go first.” In fact, she was vigilant, but after thinking about it, Ji Heng should have also placed his people in the palace. Since Ji Heng promised that her life would only be personally taken by him, he would not let other people a.s.sa.s.sinate her. In a way, he was the most reliable guard.

Sorry for the late post!
