Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 133 Part 2: Night Scout

“It’s pertaining to some things in the house.” Jiang Li was a little confused with Ji Yu’s purpose in coming, and didn’t know how to gloss over it. Thinking that Zhao Ke should have told him everything, she didn’t hide it.

“Heard that you look for my subordinates, inquiring about the inside story of you pushing Ji Shuran to miscarry?”

Jiang Li said, “Indeed, but Zhao Ke did not know the secret inside.”

“Naturally, Zhao Ke did not know,” he gave Jiang Li a glance, the corner of his mouth pulled up, “I know.”

Jiang Li was stunned.

Ji Heng played with the folding fan in his hand and said carelessly, “The small things and big things happening in the high ranking and noble residences in Yanjing, whether I am willing to know or not willing to know, are all known by me. I happen to know the things happening in the Jiang residence that year.”

“Duke,” Jiang Li said, “can you tell me?”

“Can.” Ji Heng replied in a very straightforward manner. However, his next sentence made Jiang Li frown. He smiled and said, “Little girl, this is your own experience, why are you asking me?”

His gaze was moving, deep and shallow, all full of affection. Under the lights, his amber eyes were like wine that was swaying slightly in a glass. As long as you looked more, you would be intoxicated. However, this wine seemed to be mixed with delicious poison, drunk to others, but from a deeper perspective, it was terrifyingly clear-headed.

“I only know the outcome, not the cause.” Jiang Li said, “After all, I was very young then and I did not understand very well.”

“Is this the reason you found for yourself?” Ji Heng asked.

“Sort of.” Jiang Li said, “Is this reason enough to convince the Duke?”

Ji Heng shook his head regretfully, “Of course it’s not good.” But soon he laughed, “However, since you have blown the whistle, your question today, I will tell you what I know. So, this will not hinder me telling you the inside story behind Ji Shuran. You may ask.”

Jiang Li looked at him. This man’s every gesture could hook the soul away. In this way, ordinary conversations were also used by him to tease, making people’s minds ripple. Appearing distant and near, unable to figure out, if it was other people, afraid they would have fallen into the trap.

“Before my mother’s death, did Ji Shuran have a love affair with my dad?” Jiang Li asked.

Ji Heng paused slightly. He looked at Jiang Li and spoke with interest, “It seems that you have found more things out?”

“A little bit.”

Ji Heng said, “No.” Seeing Jiang Li fixing her gaze at him, he added, “Before Ji-shi married Jiang Yuan Bai, they had no contact with each other.”

Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn’t want the truth to be like this. If Jiang Yuanbai really joined forces with Ji-shi to kill his wife, it would be too cruel for Ye Zhen Zhen, and too pitiful for the real Jiang second miss. It was enough to have one Xue Fangfei in the world, and there was no need for more miserable women.

“You seem to be pleased about this.” Ji Heng said.

“At least it proved that my father is not a murderer and it is safe for me to stay in the Jiang residence. Isn’t it worth being happy about?”

Ji Heng was noncommittal and said, “Jiang Yuan Bai is not that daring. Ji Shuran and your father did not have any love affair, because there was another person who was having an affair with her.”

This time, Jiang Li was truly surprised.

She was always gentle and calm, seldom showing shock like this. It looked a little childish, and it did not seem to be her. Ji Heng was amused by her appearance. He supported his chin and said, “Why, do not believe?”

“I just….. feel it’s very strange.” Jiang Li said, “I see Ji-shi is very attentive towards my father. For so many years, she has put in a lot of effort for my father, that’s why in the main branch, there was no other woman aside from an almost hysterical and forgotten aunt. She being like this, I thought she had my father in her heart, thus her possessiveness. I never thought that she actually has someone else in her heart.”

In the end, she was a maiden, but when she talked about this topic, she was not shy at all, and still spoke calmly and rationally, as if she had experienced the ups and downs of the sea of love, therefore she was able to see so thoroughly. Ji Heng’s eyes flashed slightly which quickly disappeared. He said, “Now Ji Shuran loves your father, but back then…… She and her older male cousin were stuck together like glue. ”

Jiang Li’s eyes widened, “Older male cousin?”

She had never heard Ji-shi had an older male cousin.

“This older male cousin was called Liu Wen Cai. Oh, he was a bit more charming than Jiang Yuan Bai. In those years, he and Ji-shi could be said to be romantic and unrestrained.”

It turned out that many years ago, Ji Shuran and Liu Wen Cai had a relationship. That Liu Wen Cai was handsome and extraordinary, understood women’s minds quite well, and Ji Shuran, who had her first awakening of love, was not Liu Wencai’s opponent. She went as far as getting together with Liu Wen Cai in secret, without the knowledge of the Ji family members, almost to the stage of setting her own marriage. Liu Wen Cai actually could be regarded as well-matched with Ji Shuran, but his family had already arranged another marriage for him. Ji-shi was still beautifully dreaming of Liu Wen Cai coming to marry her, but Liu Wen Cai had already married someone else.

Ji-shi was resentful in her heart and was determined to retaliate against Liu Wen Cai. She wanted to get married too, not only that, she still wanted to marry someone better than Liu Wen Cai, a man with a higher status than Liu Wen Cai. However, although there were many suitable young men in Yanjing, she could not find someone for a while, and it was even harder to find someone better than Liu Wen Cai. Ji Yan Lin’s idea was to let Ji Shuran marry the son of his colleague to pull the relationship closer. That colleague’s son was foolish and obese, with many concubines in his residence. How could Ji-shi look at him? Consequently, Ji-shi became more anxious.

Ji-shi saw Jiang Yuan Bai by chance at a banquet at this time. Jiang Yuan Bai was younger then, and although he was not as attractive as Liu Wen Cai, he was refined and had a graceful bearing. Ji Shuran found out Jiang Yuan Bai’s position in court, weighed it for a while, and felt that Jiang Yuan Bai’s position was higher than the son of the colleague that Ji Yan Lin wanted to marry her to.

If she could marry Jiang Yuan Bai, she could get away from the nightmare of living day to day with a foolish and obese man, and she could also retaliate against Liu Wen Cai. Ji Shuran made up her mind to get married to Jiang Yuan Bai, which was the best choice. The only problem was that Jiang Yuan Bai already had a wife.
