Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 138 Part 4: Divine Doctor

After a while, Bai Xue asked, “Is Master going to put Ji-shi to death?”

“He will. But he will cover it for her. He will find other reasons, in this way, the Ji family’s face will be a bit better.”

“Then, the black pot of causing her to miscarry, will it be washed away?” Tong’er asked. “It was clearly Ji-shi that was scheming against miss back then. As a result, for no reason, it has delayed miss for so many years.”

“Tong’er, there are some things that will have no conclusion.” Jiang Li said. “If my name was to be washed clean, the matter of Ji Shuran having an illicit affair and getting pregnant would be exposed. This is the Jiang family’s scandal, a family’s scandal cannot be known to outsiders. For the overall situation, it’s impossible for the Jiang family to take this step for me. They will only compensate me in private.”

“Miss is too wronged.” Bai Xue shook her head. She knew what Jiang Li said was true, but her heart still cried injustice.

“There are many helpless things in the world.” Jiang Li said, “Some can be fought for, some you can only grit your teeth and swallow your blood. It’s already good now, at least Ji Shuran will lose her life. Moreover, there’s more than that.”

“What do you mean?” Tong’er asked.

“Jiang You Yao and Jiang Bing Ji, afraid it would be difficult for them to obtain Jiang Yuan Bai’s love for a long time from now on.” As long as he saw Jiang You Yao and Jiang Bing Ji, Jiang Yuan Bai would be reminded of Ji Shuran, recalled the vile spawn and the tragic death of the innocent Jiang Yue. Although it’s said that a person couldn’t take their anger out on someone else, Jiang Yuan Bai was just an ordinary person, not a saint. In the backyard, his pride had already vanished from being deceived by Ji Shuran for so many years.

No need to mention Jiang Bing Ji, based on Jiang You Yao’s temperament, she would not know forbearance and her heart would soon give birth to resentment towards Jiang Yuan Bai. Without Ji Shuran’s guidance behind her, Jiang Li thought, the destination that Jiang You Yao would end up in the future would not be a good place.

But she wouldn’t be kind enough to remind Jiang You Yao.

After conversing with Tong’er and Bai Xue for a while, afraid of delaying Jiang Li’s rest, Tong’er and Bai Xue left to report to the old madam to arrange for Jiang Li and the old madam to meet the next day.

After Tong’er left, Jiang Li sat and leaned back on the couch, turning over the events in the previous few days in her mind, to confirm that there really were no slip-ups.

The ventriloquist Zhao Ke found did a better job than what she anticipated. And those tricks, the black fog, the wind blowing for no reason, the bouncing paper figure, really wasn’t Taoist Priest Chong Xu’s doing. Presumably, it was also the expert doing it in passing. It was precisely due to these tricks which made people feel dread. Under these situations, it’s possible for people to be absolutely certain that there were “ghosts”.

Actually, doing this was very risky. Because Jiang Li carried this out herself, from now on, she would shoulder a “possessed by ghosts” body. If it got out, people would avoid her. However, for the time being, aside from the Jiang family, no outsiders knew about this. In all likelihood, old madam Jiang would also make people organize everything so as not to let anyone divulge any rumors.

Jiang Li also had no choice but to do it herself. Ji Shuran’s crimes were too many. If each and every one of them were to be explained clearly, it would waste so much time. And she did not have the time to waste in the inner residence of the Jiang family. She did not know when Princess Yongning would take action against her, Shen Yurong was still climbing up step by step, and there was Cheng Wang who fixed his eyes on her like a tiger watching its prey.

She had to focus her energy to use on these people who were harder to deal with.

As she was thinking, a knocking sound came from outside the window.

Jiang Li walked over, opened the window and saw Zhao Ke standing outside.

“I did not blow the whistle.” Jiang Li said.

Zhao Ke seemed to be choked by her words. He said, “Master instructed this subordinate to bring a message to second miss.”

Ji Heng? Jiang Li said, “What is it?”

“Tomorrow afternoon, the Ye family’s house, Master will be waiting for you.”

Hearing this, Jiang Li asked in surprise, “The Ye family’s house?” The Ye family’s house was the place where Ye Shijie was residing. Why is Ji Heng running to where the Ye family is staying? It should not be possible for him to also pull Ye Shijie onto his pirate ship. After thinking this, Jiang Li’s expression turned a bit solemn, “Why is Ye Shijie together with your Master?”

Zhao Ke, “…..” Why is Jiang second miss showing such a disdainful expression? As if his master was a sticky toy that cannot be shaken off? Even if Ye Shijie is working for his Master, he ought to be feeling honored. What is this reaction?

He said, “No, it should only be because it’s more convenient in the Ye residence.”

Jiang Li, “He is also treating the Ye family’s house as the Jiang family’s house?”

Zhao Ke, “….. maybe.”

Jiang Li felt depressed. Ji Heng was really lawless, unruly and took actions rashly. He could enter and exit the Jiang residence without hindrance, naturally he could do the same in the Ye residence. But if Ye Shijie and Ye Ming Yu were to know, no idea what their impressions would be.

“Why is your master looking for me?” Jiang Li asked. “ Supposed there’s a proper business, he can pass the message through you. Nowadays I have a lot of things to manage and many people are staring at me. I don’t want to attract trouble for your master.”

Zhao Ke, “…..” Although Jiang second miss said this earnestly, as if what she said was genuine, he could clearly make out that the actual meaning of what Jiang second miss said was – if there’s nothing, don’t disturb her.

“The matter with the Taoist priest Chong Xu, thank your master on my behalf.” Jiang Li also felt that her words just now were a bit excessive. She paused for a while before rectifying, “When it’s a bit free, I will certainly pay a visit to your master personally and bring generous gifts as thanks.”

“Master invited second miss to the Ye family’s house really not to hear second miss express her gratitude.” Zhao Ke felt it was necessary for him to explain a bit on behalf of his master. He said, “Master wants second miss to meet a person.”

Jiang Li was stunned: “Who?”

“The number one doctor in Northern Yan,” Zhao Ke said, “perhaps the person who could cure County Deputy Xue.”
