Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 120 Part 3: Tenderness
In the night, the courtyard was especially quiet. Jiang Li’s footsteps produced a rustling noise as she stepped on the snow. Feng Yu Tang was like a startled rabbit, abruptly raised his head and saw Jiang Li at first sight. He subconsciously wanted to call for help, however, he stopped in the next moment.
He knew, even if he spoke up, the seemingly gentle and benevolent young miss in front of him would not charitably give him a quilt. It could even be said that the reason he had fallen to this degree and was still locked inside the prisoner carriage was all due to this girl.
She was a devil, who against reason, created a magic hole.
Jiang Li stopped in front of the prisoner’s carriage, quietly looking at Feng Yu Tang. This time, she did not smile, as if throwing off her gentle disguise and exposing her other self in the night.
Feng Yu Tang asked in a hoarse voice, “What is Miss Jiang second coming over for?”
“Coming to see you.” Jiang Li said.
“See me?” Feng Yu Tang laughed. He said, “Miss Jiang second, do you know what’s the charge for instigating the people to imprison a court official? Even your father won’t be able to save you.” He felt even more fear in his heart, thus he said all these. As if he could use these words to convince himself that there’s nothing to be afraid of. However, he knew in his heart that he was afraid of Jiang Li, and he was afraid from the bottom of his heart.
“Very soon, it will no longer be a court official.” Jiang Li said indifferently, “The transfer order from Xiangyang will arrive soon, Xue’s case will be re-examined. All of us going to Yanjing certainly not just to redress County Deputy Xue, but it’s for you.” Jiang Li said, “The things Master Feng did in Tongxiang, when let known in Yanjing, were not ordinary little things. As for Master Feng’s imprisonment before the transfer order arrives or the arrest after the transfer order arrives, after all, no one will know, isn’t it?”
She did not smile, and when she said it so indifferently, it increasingly made people feel that her quietness hid her fierceness.
Weakness flashed in Feng Yu Tang’s eyes. He could not threaten Jiang Li, on the contrary, he was threatened by Jiang Li. But how did a 15-16 years old girl seem to be able to consider all the minor details? If she were to trick a person, she would never let go of any detail. The ends of the earth, the four directions, would all be her traps. Once stepped inside, it’s dead, everything was over. She would still smear the traps with grass ash to stop people from seeing any traces.
Feng Yu Tang summoned his courage to say, “Second miss, I know that you are Master Jiang’s daughter and not afraid of anything. But there are some things, why did you make such a big movement for a nobody? Although I’m a nobody, behind me…..”
“Princess Yongning is your Master.” Jiang Li interrupted him.
Feng Yu Tang froze.
He thought nobody knew that Princess Yongning was his master. How did Jiang Li know? Also, although she knew, she still dares to do this? Moreover, she dares to break Princess Yongning’s matter?
“Master Feng, there’s something that you need to know,” Jiang Li stared at him and slowly started talking, “I treat you, a person who used torture on County Deputy Xue, like this. Princess Yongning is the instigator behind. You think, how will I deal with her?”
“I deal with you in order to deal with her.”
“He is Princess Yongning…..” Feng Yu Tang faltered, “is Cheng Wang’s younger sister?”
“Is Cheng Wang’s younger sister?” Jiang Li mocked, “Then I will deal with Cheng Wang as well. If you say that Cheng Wang is Imperial Concubine Liu’s son, I will deal with her altogether. Meet a demon, kill the demon, meet a deity, kill the deity. Whoever moved Xue Huai Yuan, I will let them repay blood with blood! Therefore,” Jiang Li said contemptuously, “you don’t have to mention Princess Yongning anymore. These two words, Princess Yongning makes me have reasons to start my hand. These two words, Princess Yongning, are the beginning of a funeral!”
Feng Yu Tang only felt that his hands and feet were soft.
In the night, Jiang Li’s eyes were extremely bright. He had no doubt there’s a deep-trenched hatred inside. Just like the ferocity of weeds growing wildly, usually hidden under the exterior appearance of gentleness, it was all exposed now.
She did not hesitate to expose her other self, which indicated one thing, that was, he was going to die. It’s not necessary to hide herself for a person that’s about to die.
“Master Feng, be assured, before the matter is over, I won’t let you die.” She said, “I can let you live properly, just like how you treat Master Xue.”
She glanced coldly at him, carried the lantern, turned around and walked away.
In the snow, the person covered from head to toe in a silver white cloak almost blended with the snow. What remained was the deep and shallow footprints which showed that a person had passed by.
Feng Yu Tang only felt colder compared to just now. He didn’t know if it was due to the snow or because of her.
……
Jiang Li did not return to her room after leaving Feng Yu Tang’s prisoner’s car.
Inexplicably, she did not feel sleepy. Her mood was not as tranquil as it appeared on the outside.
Father has become like this and there’s no idea how to make him sober. Bringing the person back to Yanjing, facing Princess Yongning, and the fight with Princess Yongning would formally be out in the open. As a matter of fact, it was not a simple thing, but what she did in Tongxiang, after Jiang Yuan Bai became aware of it, Ji Shuran would use this opportunity to blow the pillow wind. She could not completely assess how much and what kind of obstruction she would face from the Jiang family.
Walking through one road, walking on another road, there would be new thorny undergrowth.
She sat on a large rock beside the pond while thinking slowly. She only lifted her eyes when she heard Tong’er, who was beside her, screamed. In the snowy night, she saw a beauty coming over holding an umbrella.
Ji Heng was wearing a crimson coat embroidered with black peonies. Rough and delicate, completely balanced. Today he did not bring his folding fan, perhaps he had put it away. He only brought a plain white silk umbrella and walked from the snowy distance.
In the deep and heavy night, he was like a spec of color, illuminating the cold world.
“Duke.” Jiang Li did not get up and did not salute. She was truly too tired today.
