Jiang Li didn't wait until the end of Yongning and Li Xian's happy day. Jiang Yuanbai and the Li family were at odds. It was already very good to come to the Li family to watch the ceremony, so it was naturally impossible to stay till the end. When the banquet was used up, I took the Jiang family back home.
Therefore, Jiang Li couldn't say a few words with Ji Heng either. Strangely, when Ji Heng talked about killing her, Jiang Li's heart was very calm, and there was not even a trace of luck. I probably felt that, for Ji Heng, it was only between the other's thoughts to take her life. No matter how clever she was, and no matter how tactics were, under Ji Heng's power, she would only resist stubbornly and behave like a car.
As a person, you must keep your promises. She told Ji Heng that way back then, now she must keep the promises. The husband who can afford it is what the husband does.
Jiang Li is not very sad.
On the second day, Jiang Li woke up in the morning and had breakfast, changed clothes, and was about to visit Xue Huaiyuan at Ye's house. I wanted to go yesterday, but I have no choice but to go to Li's house. There is nothing to do today, and it is not too late to go now.
Only when I walked to the gate of Jiang Mansion, I suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Ashun next to Ye Mingyu. Ashun saw Jiang Li and several people, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Miss Biao, is this going to go out?"
Tong'er replied: "The girl was planning to go to Ye's house, but I didn't expect you to come."
"Ashun, what happened?" Jiang Li asked.
Ashun scratched his head: "Miss Biao, Xue Xiancheng is awake. Doctor Situ asked Xiao to come and talk to you."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, as if he had only reacted, and hurriedly walked to the other side of the carriage, saying, "What are you waiting for, let's go now."
…
Tong'er and Bai Xue looked at each other. In the carriage, Jiang Li tightly held the jade pendant in his hand. Tong'er and Bai Xue were talking to her, Jiang Li was also absent-minded, obviously not thinking about it here. She wondered how Xue Huaiyuan woke up now, whether it would be very painful, or his heart would be ashamed. Will he cry, will he blame his own daughter. The more I thought about it, the more at a loss, Jiang Li found out that her father, whom she used to be most familiar with, had become unfamiliar now. It seems that she hasn't spoken to her father for a long time.
The last time I saw my sober father, it was before we got married, and then we wrote letters, but there was no time to meet again.
Time flies so fast that Jiang Li's carriage has reached the gate of Yefu, but for a moment, she suddenly didn't have the courage to get out of the car.
Bai Xue got out of the carriage first, and reached out to her under the carriage, trying to help Jiang Li, and said, "Don't the girl get down?"
Jiang Li calmed down: "Come here." She stretched out her hand to Bai Xue.
In any case, it was her father, and no matter how hard it was, the only father in this world is Xue Fangfei's family. It was Xue Fangfei's only concern that stayed in the world.
The young man in the gatehouse of Ye Mansion greeted him warmly: "Miss Biao is here."
Jiang Li nodded, and walked in with Bai Xue and Tong'er. It was a precipitous sky in early spring, but I actually felt hot, sweat on the palms of the hands and forehead, as she walked around, the sweat was going to fall.
A few people stood outside Xue Huaiyuan's room. Jiang Li walked over and saw Ye Shijie. Ye Shijie was just under the court, and he hadn't even had time to change the official uniform. He may have not seen Jiang Li for a long time, and called Jiang Li's name. Jiang Li said, "Cousin Ye." He looked involuntarily.
Ye Shijie knew that she cared about Xue Huaiyuan, turned her sideways, and signaled her to go in, "Xue Xiancheng is inside and he is awake."
Jiang Li took a deep breath, raised his foot and walked in.
Situ Jiuyue was packing up the medicine box, and Ye Mingyu sat aside, drinking tea as if he was a little overwhelmed. Haitang stood beside a person, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, just a sitting figure, which almost made Jiang Li's tears fall.
He sits as straight as a green pine, but is no longer tall and straight, and looks a bit old. But still her father, Xue Huaiyuan.
Situ Jiuyue saw Jiang Li walk in and said, "You just came here, I've seen it for him. He is already in good health. From now on, I won't come again, and he doesn't need me anymore. The rest, It's your own business, you handle it yourself." She looked like she was leaving, but Jiang Li's heart was full of deep gratitude to her. So I gave a big thank-you gift with her, saying: "Jiang Li will remember the kindness of the girl in September. Without you, Xue Xiancheng would not be what he is now. If there is a chance in the future, such a great kindness, Jiang Li. Pear will repay."
It is out of the ordinary for a daughter of the first assistant to give such a gift to a woman who has no status. But no one in the room thinks this shouldn't be. Situ Jiuyue turned sideways, frowned and said, "One by one, I like to give big gifts. What's the point of saying thank you? I want your gratitude and cannot be exchanged for money. I said it earlier, Ji Heng has already paid. Everyone gets what they need for the reward. There is no need to have emotional entanglements." After saying that, he strode out of the house without looking back.
"This girl is really..." Ye Mingyu, who was sitting at the door, slapped his lips and uttered a word after a long while, "It's unusual. But we people from the rivers and lakes, that's the case, A Li, don't care."
"Ari?" A slight voice rang out from the room. Jiang Li was shocked and looked up.
Xue Huaiyuan sat on the side, looked at her blankly, and slowly repeated: "Ari?"
Jiang Li's hand was hanging to his side, her fist was clenched tightly, and she almost couldn't help choking out.
"Yes, Ali," Ye Mingyu looked at Xue Huaiyuan and asked, "Why, old man, do you know our Ali?"
Among the people in the house, only Jiang Li knew that Xue Huaiyuan was talking about "Ali" instead of "Ali". Perhaps it was Ye Mingyu's words that made Xue Huaiyuan think of his daughter.
Jiang Li took two steps forward, allowing Xue Huaiyuan to see his face clearly and also to see Xue Huaiyuan's appearance clearly.
The tall and thin man who was originally tall and thin now looks like an old man, his head is full of splendor, and his face is full of old traces. His eyes slowly swept across Jiang Li's face, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little bit, like a fire with embers. At the last moment, there was still sparks, but it would eventually return to darkness.
He smiled and shook his head: "I have never met the girl. It turns out that the girl is the second lady who saved me. Thank you Jiang Er for her kindness and save me from prison." He saluted.
He called himself: Miss Jiang Er.
Jiang Li's complexion changed abruptly in an instant, almost crying. Since becoming Miss Jiang Er, she has never felt that there is anything wrong with this identity. I even thought that this was a gift from God. Taking revenge as Miss Jiang Er is far easier than Xue Fangfei. She will come to understand herself, anyway, the matter is over, it is not for her to decide, it is better to accept her.
But at this moment, standing in front of his father, being called by his father as someone else, when he is treated as a stranger. In Jiang Li's heart, grievances were born. She wanted to rush into her father's arms, as she did when she was a child, and said: "I am Ari, how can you not recognize me?"
But she can't. She could only restrain herself, smiled like Xue Huaiyuan, and avoided it, saying: "Xue Xiancheng doesn't have to be like this, besides, Xue Xiancheng is my elder, Jiang Li really shouldn't deserve this kind of gift."
Xue Huaiyuan said: "I heard Haitang tell about what happened before. Knowing that in Tongxiang, it was Ms. Jiang Er who saw the injustice on the road and Feng Yutang's affairs. I would also like to thank Ms. Jiang Er for the people of Tongxiang."
Jiang Li said: "It's just a matter of raising your hand."
With the identity of a stranger, she and Xue Huaiyuan suddenly had a terrible life. She didn't know what to say, and Xue Huaiyuan didn't show special closeness to her. In fact, when Jiang Li saw Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Huaiyuan's performance was really unexpected.
He was not in pain, nor discouraged, at least he looked completely calm on the surface. It's even as if no painful things have happened in the past. He was very polite, restrained and polite, and treated everyone with a sense of alienation.
This is no longer what Xue Huaiyuan had in the past. Others didn't know it, but Jiang Li knew, so the matter between Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao changed his father.
Jiang Li asked, "What does Xue County Cheng plan to do in the future?"
Xue Huaiyuan was silent.
After a while, Xue Huaiyuan said, "My previous name was Xue Lingyun."
The few people in the room were startled, even Ye Shijie, who walked in from outside, looked at Xue Huaiyuan. Just listen to Xue Huaiyuan continue: "Almost 20 years have passed. I think it's time to change this name back."
"Do you want to go back to be an official?" Ye Shijie frowned.
Xue Lingyun said, "Just give it a try."
"How is this possible?" Ye Mingyu exclaimed. He didn't understand official affairs, but he also thought it was an incredible thing. He said, "Master Xue, how old are you, how can you be an official? And now you are an official too. It's not an easy task. If you need someone to help you, or you just have to do it in spring? What do you always plan to do?"
Xue Huaiyuan smiled faintly, and said: "This year's spring test is coming soon. When I was Xue Lingyun back then, there were a few good colleagues in the DPRK. Now I have been promoted well. Let me participate in the spring test, it shouldn't. Difficult. After you get the champion, there will be a palace exam... Naturally, you can meet with the Lord."
Ye Shijie said: "Do you plan to sue the imperial court at the palace exam, or when you see the emperor?" The people of the Ye family now also know that the Xue family's sons and daughters both died violently, fearing that there was grievance in it. Ye Shijie reacted quickly and immediately thought of this layer.
"No." Xue Huaiyuan denied.
"Why is that?" Ye Shijie was puzzled.
"I just hope to make your majesty remember me in the palace examination. Moreover, your majesty has also learned the ins and outs of the Tongxiang incident before, knows my existence, and knows Xue Lingyun, and is bound to pay attention to me."
Jiang Li whispered, "Does Xue Xiancheng want to be an official?"
Xue Huaiyuan glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's too difficult for ordinary people to get justice. I can only go higher to have the power to discover and trace the truth."
Jiang Li was very sad. Father still wants to clean up their grievances and avenge them. But his father also knew that his opponent was Cheng Wang's sister, a princess with high authority. And Shen Yurong is no longer the poor scholar in Tongxiang. He has transformed himself into the upstart Zhongshu Shelang trusted by the emperor, with a boundless future.
And Xue Huaiyuan is nothing now, he even lost the official title of the Zhima official in Tongxiang County. In the place of Yanjing City, Xue Huaiyuan was like an ant, unable to shake the tree, so he wanted to become Xue Lingyun. Xue Lingyun, who couldn't get used to the filthy officialdom and took the initiative to leave, now wants to re-emerge for himself.
But how could she be willing to let her father return to that smoky place? Fight with the group of wolves who can eat people and don't spit out bones. The matter of revenge seems to be very objective, but in the process, some things will continue to be lost and some price will be paid. For example, human goodness, and human dignity. Becoming indifferent and inhumane, let yourself do it alone, why do you need to catch up with your father
Ye Mingyu said: "Old man Xue, you said something relaxed. But the palace exam... Hey, do you think you will definitely win the place in the spring exam?"
Xue Huaiyuan smiled faintly: "Just try your best." Although he said this, the smile on his face was clearly very confident, and he didn't think that what he had just said was a joke. And his smile made Ye Mingyu froze, and he felt as if what he said was a joke and he shouldn't have said that.
When Ye Shijie heard the words, he admired the old man in front of him. At this age, he is willing to return to officialdom for the sake of his children. Xue Huaiyuan seems to have absolute self-confidence. Ye Shijie believes that this is self-confidence and not arrogance. Xue Huaiyuan said that he will be ranked in the spring test, and he will really be ranked. It is indeed the most sure way to find the truth for Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao right now. And most importantly, this idea came to Xue Huaiyuan immediately after waking up.
It's really rare that he can think of such a long-term vision in less than two hours since he woke up to the present. Ye Shijie has reason to believe that this Xue Huaiyuan is indeed the same person as Xue Lingyun, who was a good book in the Ministry of Industry in the past.
Ye Shijie said: "I don't think Xue Xiancheng has to go to his former colleagues. Officials go to the tea house. Old friends who were good at you at the time may not be willing to sell your face. Let the younger generation do it for you."
Several people in the room were startled at the same time.
Ye Mingyu said, "Shijie, what are you doing?"
"The younger generation is now a member of the household department, and he can speak in the household department. Xue... If you want a spring test, I can think of a way." He no longer calls Xue Huaiyuan as the "prefect of the county" because Xue Huaiyuan Now it is not.
"Young people, you have helped me a lot..." Xue Huaiyuan was about to refuse, only to hear Ye Shijie speak again.
He said: "I didn't help in vain. I am now an official in the DPRK. For my own reasons, I have no alliance. Mr. Xue was able to become a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, which shows his talent. After Mr. Xue's spring test, if he can get the first place , Palace examination, officialdom, and please promote juniors. In officialdom, mutual support is also important."
In the end, he looked like a shrewd businessman.
Xue Huaiyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Okay. Young Master Ye Xiao can say this, in fact, you don't need to rely on me, and you can gain a firm foothold in Chaozhong in the future."
"Then let's say yes..."
"Not good." It was Jiang Li who interrupted Ye Shijie.
She had been silently listening to the conversation between Ye Shijie and Xue Huaiyuan, and at this moment, she suddenly couldn't help it. She didn't like watching her father beg for everything for her, the person who always taught her to stick to her heart, Jiang Li couldn't bear to do these things now.
She looked at Xue Huaiyuan and said solemnly: "Xue Xiancheng, I know your concerns. I also know that you are anxious to become an official because of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao's business. I am already doing this. Check it, and within two months, there will be results. The murderer will pay for what he did. I can guarantee that. Therefore, Xue Xiancheng does not need to be an official in the DPRK again, that is not necessary."
"What's more," before Xue Huaiyuan spoke, Jiang Li said again: "Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and there are not a few infighting in the palace. No one can say how many days can survive in Yanjing City. I am afraid it is Xue. Xian Cheng hadn't climbed to the position he thought of, and something happened in the middle of the morning, which was a bad thing."
What she said made people think of the relationship between King Cheng and Emperor Hong Xiao.
"Xue Xiancheng, you should not only think about revenge, but should live well." Jiang Li said, "If your children are still there, their wish will only be this."
Xue Huaiyuan calmed down for a while, wondering if he thought Jiang Li's words made sense. He did not mention the matter of being an official in the DPRK, but said to Ye Mingyu several people: "Can you go out first? I have something to say to Miss Jiang Er."
Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li, and Jiang Li said, "Uncle, let's go out, it's okay."
Ye Mingyu also Ye Shijie went out, Haitang still wanted to stay, Ye Mingyu also let her go out. In the room, only Xue Huaiyuan and Jiang Li were left in an instant.
"Miss Jiang Er." Xue Huaiyuan looked at her, his tone was still as gentle as ever, as he did to her in the past, trance made Jiang Li produce a kind of all this is not true, but a spring and autumn dream. After waking up from the dream, you will see Xue Zhao sneaking back from the door and saying to her: "Sister, is Dad at home?"
"I heard Master Ye San say that when you were in Tongxiang, you once said that you rescued because of your connection with the Xue family. Haitang also told me that you saved her and cured her face. Injury. You plan to find out the truth for Fangfei. You are the lifesaver of our Xue family, but I heard that when she was seven years old, Miss Jiang went to Qingcheng Mountain and returned to Yanjing City only a year ago. , And I have never been to Tongxiang. What I want to know is, what is the relationship between Miss Jiang and our Xue family that will spare no effort to help the Xue family?"
Xue Huaiyuan's eyes were as clear as ever, and he could always see the problem at a glance. Others always say that Fang Fei's temperament resembles her father, but is softer than Xue Huaiyuan.
To help the Xue family, Jiang Li did a little too much. You must know that Jiang Yuanbai had criticized Jiang Li because of this incident. In the eyes of others, this is also very unusual. The reason for having a relationship with the Xue family can indeed fool some people, but if the Xue family is still alive, this lie will be easy to expose. For example, in the face of Xue Huaiyuan, she couldn't tell.
At this moment, Jiang Li was almost impulsive, trying to tell Xue Huaiyuan that she was Xue Fangfei, but she still resisted it.
Would Xue Huaiyuan believe it? After all, this is a weird thing. And Xue Huaiyuan used to be the least believer in ghosts and gods, but what if he believes it? It sounds like Xue Huaiyuan would be very happy, right? But after the affairs of Princess Yongning, Jiang Li's life might be "returned" to Ji Heng. Can Xue Huaiyuan accept that she just reunited with her daughter and was about to lose her daughter? It's better to not know that you are Xue Fangfei from the beginning, so you don't have to be sad again.
Jiang Li settled down and said, "I have no relationship with the Xue family."
Xue Huaiyuan didn't have a surprised expression on his face, as if he had guessed it a long time ago.
Jiang Li continued: "There is a relationship with the Xue family, and another person. I am only entrusted to do all this. Moreover, the murderer and my Jiang family are different from each other, and sooner or later they will face each other with swords. Therefore, to help the Xue family is to help the Jiang family himself, Xue County Cheng does not have to care."
Xue Huaiyuan looked at her, and after a while, he whispered softly: "That's it."
Jiang Li knew that he didn't believe his own words at all, and his father was not a person who easily believed in others. Especially after experiencing these things, besides, her reasons were not perfect.
"Well, Xue Xiancheng," Jiang Li said: "Two months, two months later, there will be some eyebrows about Fangfei's case. When the dust of Fangfei's case is settled, all the truth will come to light, and the murderer will tell Xue. Xiancheng knows everything about me, but Xue Xiancheng needs to promise me not to act rashly."
She thought, as long as the "pregnancy" of Princess Yongning disappeared after two months, everything would be different. After the matter was over, if Ji Heng let her go, she would tell Xue Huaiyuan that she was Xue Fangfei, and the father and daughter would recognize each other. If Ji Heng is determined to kill her, she will disappear into the world with this secret. As long as Xue Huaiyuan lives well.
Xue Huaiyuan nodded: "Okay." After a pause, he whispered again: "My own daughter wants someone else to avenge her."
Jiang Li had never seen Xue Huaiyuan before. He was always alive and would not shrink from any difficulties. Instead of being so helpless to appoint, helpless, and self-deprecating.
"No." Jiang Li said: "This is not a question of revenge, it is'justice'. In this world, there is still'justice', and Xue Xiancheng should think of this. When Xue Xiancheng helped Tongxiang county residents, , Did you ever think of giving something back? Xue Xiancheng helped those county citizens just like what I did at the moment, and didn't ask for anything in return. God may be fair, and Xue Xiancheng's good destiny made me this good fruit. "
She hoped that Xue Huaiyuan would be happy, stop worrying about these things, and don't torture herself.
Xue Huaiyuan looked at her and said, "Miss Jiang, take the liberty to speak, your tone of voice really resembles my daughter."
When a father talked about his daughter, that kind of tone, which was hard to bear with grief, was moving.
Sitting in front of him, Jiang Li cried out "I am Fang Fei" ten thousand times, and couldn't say anything. Looking at each other and not knowing each other, the heart-piercing pain in this sentence, she felt it cherishedly today.
She smiled, no one saw the tears in her heart. She said: "It is my honor to be like Miss Xue."
Xue Huaiyuan was stunned, and took a deep look at her: "Thank you."
In the past year, Xue Fangfei was regarded as the most shameless woman in Yanjing City, and everyone shouted and beat. Jiang Li was willing to say an honor. For Xue Huaiyuan, this was probably a great comfort.
"I heard Master Ye San call you Ali." Xue Huaiyuan said.
"Yes."
"Fang Fei's small print is also called Ari," Xue Huaiyuan looked outside, "It's the raccoon dog of a civet cat."
Jiang Li held back his tears and said, "If Xue Xiancheng doesn't mind, you can call me Ari. No one can tell me anyway."
Xue Huaiyuan looked at her, Jiang Li smiled, and after a while, Xue Huaiyuan turned his head and said, "It's still not enough."
"Ali is dead, Miss Jiang, you are not her."
…
Jiang Li walked out of the house. Xue Huaiyuan felt a bit headache after talking to her for a while. Situ Jiuyue said that Xue Huaiyuan just woke up and needed more rest. Haitang came in to take care of him. Jiang Li was not easy to bother.
When she walked outside, Ye Mingyu and Ye Shijie gathered around.
Ye Shijie asked: "You were in it just now, what did you say to him?"
"It's nothing, that is, he is very grateful for the things I did in Tongxiang." Jiang Li smiled, "It's not a big deal."
"Ali, do you think that Father Xue is not an ordinary person." Ye Mingyu rubbed his hands, "I felt uncomfortable after he woke up this morning. Before, when he was unconscious. , I can still be with him every day, and I don’t think there is anything. He is sober, as if he has changed himself, I am still a little afraid of him, I am not used to it for a while, I always feel short of breath in front of him . Why is this? He eats mine and lives mine, why am I still guilty?"
"Uncle feels wrong, right." Jiang Li smiled, "Xue Xiancheng is a good person, you may not be used to it."
"Perhaps." Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li, "It's still hello, you can be calm and calm towards him."
"Mr. Xue is very good," Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li, "Now I believe that he is Xue Lingyun, the Shangshu from the Ministry of Engineering."
"If he can really be your husband, my cousin will benefit a lot." Jiang Li said sternly: "Xue Xiancheng lives in Yefu now. If his cousin is fine, you can ask him more questions on weekdays. He There is so much that can be given to you."
"Yeah, your father is the first assistant, why don't you praise your father so much?" Ye Mingyu joked.
Jiang Li shook his head. In her opinion, Jiang Yuanbai knew how to be an official, and the focus was on "being". Xue Huaiyuan understood how to be an official, and his emphasis was on "officials."
Whoever is more clever may have their own merits, but Jiang Li still prefers the latter.
"Speaking of it, I didn't think that before Father Xue had recovered," Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li with interest, "After this recovery, I feel a bit like you, especially when he laughs."
"It's much pleasing to the eye than Jiang Yuanbai."
