Chapter 92 Part 3: Travelling Together
“Ah Zhao, I’m your sister. You probably cannot recognize me anymore. Now I am the Jiang family’s young miss, Jiang Yuan Bai’s di daughter. You must also think that it’s unfathomable. I was like that too at first, but thinking about it now, maybe the heavens is giving me another chance.”
“Ten days later I am going back to Xiangyang. I’ll find a way to clearly find out what happened to father. I have implicated the two of you with the matter at that time. I know who caused your death, also know who to look for revenge. Shen Yurong is currently rising step by step, Princess Yongning also has Cheng Wang behind her. I can’t do anything for the time being, but it’s not as if there’s no way at all.”
“Using Jiang second miss’s name, I’ll think of a way to tell the injustice of the Xue family and uncover the true colors of Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong so as to clear your grievances.”
“Ah Zhao,” she spoke silently in her heart: “forgive me for only coming to see you for the first time after so long. You must blame older sister a lot. However, there’s not a day where I forget the Xue family’s blood feud. Please be patient and watch me as I defend you step by step.”
“Ah Zhao……. I’m sorry…….”
She spoke silently in her heart, as if she could see the young man who was dancing with a knife and playing with a spear looked at her sideways and giggled. No idea how much time had passed before Jiang Li opened her eyes.
The rain seemed to let up a bit, the burial mound in front of her still looked peaceful and quiet but it’s unknown from where, a red sparrow suddenly flew over and perched on the branch above, slanting its head and looking at her. There were many water droplets on its feathers. SUddenly it flapped its wings, shaking the water droplets on its wings cleanly. It looked at the umbrella Jiang Li placed on top of the mound and at once dived down, standing on the mound, finding shelter under the umbrella while chirping incessantly.
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said in a low voice: “You hear it too, right?!”
She turned around and slowly walked towards Yan Yu Pavilion.
When she arrived at Yan Yu Pavilion, Tong’er and Bai Xue were frightened when they saw her drenched. Tong’er said: “Miss, where is your umbrella? Why is your clothes all wet?”
“Saw a red sparrow got wet from the rain and felt pitiful. So I used the umbrella to cover it and left the umbrella under the peach tree at the back.”
Tong’er heard what she said and replied: “Miss, I know that you have good intentions, but you can tell us. There are other umbrellas here, this servant could have brought one over, there is no need to get yourself wet, right? What to do if you catch a cold?”
Jiang Li smiled apologetically and said: “Didn’t think that much at the time.”
“Miss is good everywhere,” Bai Xue whispered: “just a bit soft-hearted.”
Soft-hearted? Jiang Li laughed in her heart.
Xue Fang Fei was perhaps soft-hearted. But the current Jiang Li’s heart was as heart as iron.
……
The city of Yanjing, inside Wang Xiang Lou, Lu Ji was in the middle of chatting with Ji Heng.
Not long after, Wen Ji, who was by Ji Heng’s side, walked over.
Wen Ji showed some hesitation: “Master…….”
Ji heng shot a glance at him and said: “Speak.”
“Yes.” Wen Ji promptly replied: “Today Jiang second miss brought two servant girls out. She first went into each shop in the city to buy several items. After a meal, they went to Yan Yu Pavilion in Bailu Bay.”
“Yan Yu Pavilion?” Ji Heng raised his eyelids and laughed: “She actually even knows such remote places.”
“What?” Lu Ji from the side could see some signs. Stroking his beard, he said: “Master even arranged a person to monitor Jiang second miss?”
Ji heng waved his hand: “Not monitor, her conducts are strange, making it difficult for people not to pay attention to.” He opened his mouth and without thinking asked Wen Ji: “What did she see in Yan Yu Pavilion?”
“I heard it’s most beautiful to look at the rain at Yan Yu Pavilion,” Lu Ji suddenly recalled something and smilingly said: “Perhaps Jiang second miss went to look at the misty rain, actually very cultured.”
“No.” Wen Ji said: “At first Jiang second miss sat with her two servant girls in Yan Yu Pavilion. Afterwards, she walked to the peach tree behind Yan Yu Pavilion. There’s a burial mount under the peach tree. Jiang second miss left her umbrella on the burial mound to cover it from the rain.”
Ji Heng and Lu Ji’s movements paused at the same time.
Ji heng raised his eyebrows, a bit of interest showed in his beautiful pupils. He asked: “Oh? She went to worship?”
“There’s nothing used to worship, but Jiang second miss seemed to know the deceased. She stood facing the burial mound for a long time and looked very sad.” Wen Ji’s answer could be said to be very detailed.
“That’s worshiping.” Ji Heng said.
Lu Ji asked: “Why did Master say that?”
“This Jiang second miss always did things rigorously, also used to give herself a cover.” Ji Heng said with a sneer: “Today she went out to buy things, went to Yan Yu Pavilion to look at the rain, those were all pretense. Her purpose was to stand for a moment in front of this burial mound.”
“The person in the grave must be someone she values.” He concluded right away.
If it were said that Jiang Li did things rigorously, her pretense was also totally meticulous. However, Ji Heng very easily pointed to the heart of the matter after he heard what happened. Just a glance and he could make out the truth of the matter.
“Who is the person in the grave?” Ji Heng asked.
“A person called Xue Zhao.” Wen Ji replied: “A year ago, he was robbed and killed by bandits and his corpse was abandoned in the river. However, after our people checked, there’s a hidden meaning inside. Xue Zhao’s death possibly had some relations with the current governor.”
