Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 129 Part 1: Obsessed
“However, you have gone beyond my expectation, after going around for so long, you finally brought the things about Xue Fang Fei out.”
These words made Jiang Li could not help lifting her head up to look at Ji Heng. After a moment, she smilingly said, “What is Duke Su talking about. What does this have to do with Xue Fang Fei?”
“Oh?” Ji Heng laughed, “Weren’t you in a hurry to redress the injustice on Xue Fang Fei, that’s why you mentioned her name during the palace discussion? With you doing this, Princess Yongning will not be happy.”
His wisdom was almost devil-like, nothing could be concealed from his eyes. Jiang Li did not anticipate that he could connect Xue Fang Fei’s matter with Xue’s case. Moreover, he thought of it very quickly.
“Why do you want to redress Xue Fang Fei’s injustice?” Jiang Li spoke calmly. “Did she not guard the woman’s way and engage in an illicit affair? Official Shen cared about old affection and did not divorce her. Who knew that heavens opened their eyes and took her away, it could be said that she only had herself to blame. This kind of person, why do you need to redress?” She mentioned herself without changing her face. If it was an ordinary person, they probably could not imagine talking about themselves like this.
Ji Heng laughed and his body suddenly leaned forward. He meaningfully measured Jiang Li’s expression, smiled and in a low voice said, “Why redress her, don’t you know it best?”
Jiang Li was startled and said, “I don’t understand what Duke Su is talking about.”
“You have a clear like and dislike.” Ji Heng said softly, “Don’t tell me that you did not realize whenever you mentioned Shen Yurong, you did not even call him Master Shen. You and him should have hatred.” Ji Heng carelessly played with the folding fan in his hand, “You also have enmity with Princess Yongning.”
His tone was stating, not questioning. He already knew since earlier, and he also believed his own judgment.
Jiang Li pondered for a while and said, “Duke…..”

“You know their relationship.” Ji Heng looked at her.
Jiang Li took a deep breath. She was not clear how much Ji Heng actually knew, however, there was one thing that she was sure of, Ji Heng knew far more than what she had thought he knew. She acted stupid persistently, yet it made this ally dissatisfied. It was better to be honest about it, keep the ultimate secret, truth and false, reveal everything, perhaps she could reap unexpected gains.
“What was Duke Su referring to? Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong being like-minded, their feelings as deep as the sea?” She spoke with ridicule. Ji Heng, who was listening to her, also sneered.
“There’s a lot of sourness based on your tone. Do you also admire the young Master Shen?” Ji Heng said, “Only then would you feel jealousy and hate.” freewēbnoveℓ.com
“Sour? Duke Su really knows how to crack jokes. I don’t think Shen Yurong is worth admiring.”
“Then isn’t it strange?” Ji Heng stared at Jiang Li, full of interest. “Young Master Shen is handsome, gentle and refined, there are many noble ladies in Yanjing who are fond of him. I think you are also at the age when you have your first awakening of love, yet you surprisingly don’t like this attractive and intelligent master?”
He’s good, at this time, he actually discussed such an irrelevant matter with Jiang Li. Jiang Li laughed sarcastically, “In the final analysis, Shen Yurong was just an official in the secretariat without any family support. As far as I’m concerned, he was nothing but one of the many people from a humble beginning who climbed up by hook or by crook. I am a young lady from the Jiang family, talking about an appropriate match, he, Shen Yurong, is still not qualified.”
This could be said to be extremely sarcastic. Jiang Li herself never thought that she would hear such harsh words coming out of her mouth. If the Shen family members were here, afraid they would be crazy with anger. She just wanted to say, at that time, Princess Yongning said that her family status was too low and she did not match Shen Yurong who had achieved success in his career. Now she was the chief assistant’s noble daughter. In her eyes, even Shen Yurong, who was successful in his career, was not worth mentioning. He was just a man who lived off a woman.
“You ran around for the people of Tongxiang, ate and drank in the same place, without disliking the other party’s low identities. When it comes to Master Shen, you dislike his poor family circumstances. It seems that your prejudice against young Master Shen is very deep, do you have a blood feud with him?” He replied with a smile, each of his sentences was probing.
Jiang Li said with a smile, “I was just telling the truth. Besides, although Duke Su keep on praising Shen Yurong, the way I see it, Shen Yurong is not as good as a single strand of Duke Su’s hair. No matter in appearance, charm, family situation, status, or civil and military, and being resourceful, Shen Yurong falls short of Duke Su by a wide margin. Rather than being confused by such an ordinary person, it’s better to admire such a celestial being like Duke Su, isn’t it?”
Ji Heng looked quietly at her. After a while, he laughed abruptly and said, “You can speak really well. Jiang Yuan Bai flaunts himself as a clean and aloof scholar, yet his daughter has such a sweet mouth like honey. If my heart is not as hard as iron, afraid I really cannot bear you.”
Jiang Li smiled. Of course she would not foolishly think that her flattering words would please Ji Heng. In fact, placing oneself in Ji Heng’s position, afraid he had been hearing these flattering words everyday. If Ji Hen’s favor was truly easy to obtain by fawning, there would not be rumors about him being “temperamental”. However, a stretched out hand would not hit a smiling person. Moreover, she was very willing to belittle Shen Yurong and lift Ji Heng up.
“Your actions have aroused Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning’s attention.” Ji Heng said, “Next, they will deal with you.”
“Many thanks for Duke Su’s reminder.” Jiang Li looked at him and spoke very earnestly, “However, Duke Su also once said that my life is yours. No one could take the things in your hands, including my life. Therefore, I’m not worried, because I believe in Duke Su.”
“Little girl, you want to confuse me to join in?” His pair of eyes were moving, filled with cold sobriety. He said, “I said I will protect your life, but not acting as a bodyguard for you. In the Northern Yan’s court, afraid you can’t afford the price if you wish for my protection.”
