While Ji Heng was speaking, Lu Ji suddenly gave a surprise shout.
On the street not too far away, the girl was standing under the eaves, her gaze accurately went through the crowd and without any mistake, fell on the window of this teahouse.
“We’re discovered.” Ji Heng smiled while shaking his fan, “too bad.”
Jiang Li was walking with Tong’er
For the time being, the trouble at Li Zheng Tang had been resolved with great difficulty and Jiang Li was about to instruct the bodyguards to ask for news on the whereabouts of Ye MIng Yu. This Tong Zhi Yang seemed to be confident, in any case, she was Jiang Yuan Bai’s daughter. Just based on Jiang Yuan Bai’s identity, Tong Zhi Yang would be a bit more courteous.
Who knew as Jiang Li just walked out of Li Zheng Tang, she perceived a gaze looking at her. Following her intuition, she looked around and spotted a familiar red gown along with a gentle shaking golden thread fan.
Ji Heng?
Why is he here?!
Jiang Li was shocked and subconsciously thought, Ji Heng should not be following her to Xiangyang, right? It shouldn’t be, not to mention that her trip to Xiangyang this time was on the preface of visiting old madam Ye, even if there’s something doubtful about her action, the stately Duke Su would not go as far as staring at her everyday. This Duke Su was incomprehensible, a person who did big things, he wouldn’t be so bored.
However, Jiang Li glanced at the small window of the teahouse, everything that happened in Li Zheng Tang could be seen through the window. This person, Duke Su, loved watching plays the most, he most likely had not missed this play from beginning to end. It was even more likely to say that he had been here even before Jiang Li arrived. He already knew from early on that Li Zheng Tang was wrecked like this and had specially come to watch the bustling scene.
Truly annoying.
Jiang Li took in a deep breath, no matter what Duke Su’s purpose was, she had to go up and meet the other person. Explore the bottom, in the end, what did the other person come for. If they did not intersect with each other, he naturally could watch the play, it’s good if he did not meddle. If they were in conflict to some extent……. She could consider and watch how to go about it.
Jiang Li said a few sentences to Tong’er and Bai Xue, then she walked over to the teahouse alone.
“Coming.” Lu Ji held his beard, “Master, not going to conceal this from you, at the moment, I have a bit of fear towards this Jiang second miss.”
“What are you afraid of,” Ji Heng was turning his folding fan around,” it’s just a little girl.”
“Jiang second miss is not an ordinary little girl,” Lu Ji also smiled, “grace combined with prestige, that set pattern of bureaucracy, she did it easily. She has learned Jiang Yuan Bai’s style perfectly 100%. I just don’t understand, didn’t she stay in the nunnery for eight years? She wasn’t by Jiang Yuan Bai’s side for eight years, how did she become this proficient in the practice of officialdom? It’s as if Jiang Yuan Bai had personally taught her. Could it be due to blood relation, so it’s naturally inherited?”
Ji Heng shot a glance at him: “Even then, not any ordinary people can inherit that exceptionally.”
For outsiders, Jiang Li’s ability appeared really unimaginable. However, although she did not follow by Jiang Yuan Bai’s side for eight years, she had in fact, followed by Xue Huai Yuan’s side closely for ten years. Xue Huai Yuan was an honest and upright official, a good official, but it’s not as if Tongxiang had no boot-licking, bad officials. Xue Fang Fei and Xue Zhao had seen many types of officials, more than normal people do. Moreover, because Xue Huai Yuan’s official position was not too high, they could feel things more deeply.
As the two were talking, a child, the person who showed the way, knocked on the door before Jiang Li entered.
Once Jiang Li entered the door, she immediately saw Ji Heng and the blue dressed scholar she met last time in Jin man Tang.
“It’s a coincidence,” Ji Heng opened his mouth in pretense, “to run into Miss Jiang second in this place.”
At this time, this person made a look of surprise, Jiang Li refused to comment. According to Ji Heng’s practice of placing spies in all corners of the imperial palace, afraid he had already ascertained the movements in Xiangyang on the first day of his arrival. Her every move and action should all have been right under the eyes of this beautiful snake and scorpion.
However, if the other party wanted to put on a play, she could only pretend ignorance and go along with them. She smiled and said: “I did not expect to run into Duke Su over here as well.” She asked in puzzlement: “For what matter did Duke Su come to Xiangyang?”
Ji Heng looked at her with all smiles. After a long while, he spat out two words: “Work matters.”
Did not say anything, but also equal to saying everything. At least he did not come for her. Ji Heng, this person, had a trait, he did not speak the truth. The words he said resembled his pair of charming eyes, no sincerity at all. However, he also did not tell lies, he simply did not say anything at most.
Jiang Li was relieved. She really did not wish this honorable duke to place his attention on her. The thing that she was about to do could not be exposed to others, she also did not wish others to know. Especially this honorable duke, he might possibly have relations with Cheng Wang. The Cheng Wang brother and sister were her enemies, she absolutely did not want to associate with her enemies.
She could only deal with them patiently.
“The Ye family seems to be in trouble.” Ji Heng looked at the not so distant Li Zheng Tang through the window, “if it weren’t because of you, Li Zheng Tang would have already become ruins.”
He spoke with a tone carrying a bit of regret. Jiang Li couldn’t bear it and blurted out, “Why does the duke seem to really wish for Li Zheng Tang to become ruins?”
“There’s no way,” Ji Heng replied annoyingly, “ I love watching plays.”
These words truly made people take offense. Jiang Li replied while smiling insincerely, “The duke truly has a good spirit, anything can be treated as a play.”
“But there are few as marvelous as Miss Jiang second.” Ji Heng replied in deadly earnest.
“I am the same as the duke,” Jiang Li smiled while gnashing her teeth in anger, “do not act in a play.”
“Then that’s truly a pity,” Ji Heng was regretful, “I still thought there would be a good play to watch when seeing you in Xiangyang this time.”
“What?” Jiang Li looked at him.
His beautiful pupils were flowing with brilliance, just like a vortex enticing people to tumble and lose themselves inside. He smirked: “I have a premonition, Miss Jiang second is going to sing a lot of good plays in Xiangyang.”
“Isn’t the duke here for work matters?” Jiang Li smiled, “How can you pay too much attention to little things?”
“The play is too wonderful, I’d hate to miss it.” Ji Heng stared at Jiang Li and spoke without blinking. There’s a hint of teasing in between his words.
