MARRIAGE OF THE DI DAUGHTER

Chapter 95 Part 5



Chapter 95 Part 5: Qiong Zhi

When they’d reached the back door, they didn’t see the woman who greeted them earlier. Instead, they met a man by chance. Jiang Li couldn’t help giving the man a few more glances because the people who looked through the back door were usually those female relatives or madams while the men would go through the front door.

It was a robust middle aged man dressed a bit strangely, and did not resemble a Xiangyang resident. He seemed to be wearing a strong suit of armor, no matter how you looked at it, it was eccentric. This person’s left face had a scar as long as a finger, had a slight bandit’s aura and appeared out of place from the rest of Xiangyang.

That man probably also didn’t expect that a little girl would suddenly walk out from inside. In addition, a glance could tell that she wasn’t a girl from Xi Hua Lou. Thus he couldn’t help looking a few more times at Jiang Li.

The two people looked at each other and there’s a feeling of peculiarity, as if familiar with each other. But Jiang Li clearly had never met this man. In just a moment, the other person had already passed her and headed inside.

Jiang Li stopped and turned her head back to look. That man had already gone up the stairs, his traces were gone, perhaps he was a guest seeking pleasure.

“Does Miss feel something amiss?” Bai Xue saw Jiang Li looked back at the man and asked.

“It’s nothing.” Jiang Li pondered but couldn’t make out where she could have seen this man. However, this kind of weird feeling did not cause her to be annoyed. It’s hard to avoid people from taking note if they continued standing here, so she soon said: “Let’s go.”

She then walked out of Xi Hua Lou with her two servant girls without looking back.

……

One moment Jiang Li had just exited Xi Hua Lou, while in the next moment Wen Ji reported this matter back to Ji Heng in a pavilion.

“Jiang second miss entered Xi Hua Lou and met with the current popular flower girl, Qiong Zhi.” Wen Ji said.

“Qiong Zhi…….” Lu Ji muttered to himself, “she went especially to meet with Qiong Zhi?”

“Should be. Qiong Zhi is the top flower girl in Xi Hua Lou, her room had secret guards protecting. The people arranged to go were unable to listen to their conversation. However, Jiang second miss stayed in Qiong Zhi’s room for a stick of incense before going out, it wasn’t a brief stop over. After she left, Qiong Zhi seemed to be very moved. She stayed inside her room by herself and closed her door, refusing all guests.”

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows: “Is that so.”

“Master, it’s better to let someone go to look for this Miss Qiong Zhi,” Lu Ji suggested, “find out what Jiang second miss actually said to her.”

“That’s impossible.” Ji Heng smiled faintly.

“Why?”

Wen Ji took the initiative to explain: “This Miss Qiong Zhi is a staunch person, unmoved by force or persuasion. She has been trained since childhood by the mama from Xi Hua Lou, the charm in her bones was natural. Many guests wanted to redeem her, there were even some noble sons from big, wealthy families wanting to marry her back as their wife, but everyone was flatly rejected by Qiong Zhi. Other flower girls sell themselves in order to raise enough money to free themselves, however, Qiong Zhi does not lack money, and also does not wish to free herself. High position and great wealth does not entice her, even the position of a madam of a house was unable to move her.”

Lu Jo was stumped for words. Unexpectedly, Qiong Zhi was a very hard bone to chew. This was something that he didn’t think of.

“Furthermore, Qiong Zhi has contacts with many figureheads in Xiangyang. These people are all willing to protect her, just like the Jing Hong fairy in Yancheng previously. Thus it’s not good to be tough. Besides——based on Qiong Zhi’s temperament, even if we are being tough, it still may not be possible.”

Ji Heng closed his fan lazily and said: “It doesn’t seem like it, but Jiang second miss has come prepared. She especially looked for a dagger without a scabbard.”

“So to speak, Jiang second miss’s scheme is deep and far from our evaluation.” Lu Ji said heavily.

Jiang Li chose Qiong Zhi, no matter what they used to make a transaction with her, Qiong Zhi would be like a stone that couldn’t be pried open. From the beginning, Jiang Li prevented others from prying open the other person’s mouth, thus looked for the secure Qiong Zhi

She had thought of all possibilities and retreats, on the contrary, making other people’s hands tied.

“Arrange someone to stare at Qiong Zhi.” Ji Heng said smilingly: “Observe what she is going to do next.”

Wen Ji accepted the order.

Lu Ji looked at Ji Heng: “Talking about it, the person arranged by the Li family has also arrived. This time, that boy from the Right Minister’s family will definitely deal with the Ye family. Currently, Ye Shijie does not go on the path he planned. I don’t know whether they will succeed in giving a stumbling block to the Ye family now.”

“Why cannot?” Ji Heng asked in return.

Lu Ji hesitated for a while, stroked his goatee and said: “Master’s previous plans were messed up due to Jiang second miss. Now Jiang second miss is also in Xiangyang, this humble self always feels that this Jiang second miss is not simple. Such as finding Qiong Zhi at this time, could it be related to this matter? If Jiang second miss sticks another pole in and once again mess up Master’s plan, that would be far from good.”

Jiang Li disrupted the path set by Ji Heng over and over again. Everytime it happened, it seemed unintentional but Lu Ji felt that perhaps in the previous lifetime, Jiang Li was Ji Heng’s nemesis. This life, following the old road, would always give Ji Heng a bit of trouble. Wherever Jiang Li was, there would be “accidents”.

“If she has the ability, she can try to mess it.” Ji Heng squinted his eyes, “I’ll be waiting.”
