< >Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 145 Part 3: Hai Tang
Bai Xue surprisingly joined in the fun with Tong’er and said: “This snack is very precious. You must not eat it with ordinary tea. You must use good tea.”
“What kind of tea is in the Duke’s mansion?” Tong’er deliberately lowered her voice, not wanting others to hear that her girl was close to the Duke.
Jiang Li said indifferently: “That is the tribute tea rewarded by the emperor.”
She thought these words would stop the two girls from going crazy, but she didn’t expect Bai Xue to ask with a serious face, “Then let’s find a way to ask Master for a little bit; Master should have also got a share.”
This made Jiang Li between laughter and tears.
Right at this time, Ming Yue walked in from the outside and said with a smile, “Bai Xue, there is a letter for you.”
When Bai Xue heard this, she was very happy. Letters from Bai Xue’s family did not come frequently. Sometimes it took two or three months before a letter arrived. There was no one in their family who could read and write, so if they wanted to write a letter, they had to go dozens of miles outside the village, and ask a teacher to do it for them for a fee. Her family was very poor, every time they wrote a letter, they needed to pay a string of copper coins, so she cherished it very much.
These days following Jiang Li, Bai Xue also recognized more characters. So she took the letter and happily hid in the corner to read it. Tong’er looked at Bai Xue’s back and said, “She is happy now. She told me a few days ago that it is almost the New Year but she hasn’t received a letter from the family yet, so she was afraid that the family has forgotten her as their daughter. Now she should feel relieved that her family is thinking about her.”
Jiang Li smiled. When people around her felt happy, she naturally was also happy about it.
After a while, Bai Xue came back after reading the letter. When Jiang Li saw her smiling, everything must be fine at home. Tong’er made fun of her, “Why are you so happy? Just like picking up silver.”
“My sister-in-law has given me a new nephew.” Bai Xue said with a smile, “This is a happy event.”
“It is indeed a happy event.” Jiang Li was also happy when she heard this, and said, “I will go get some money later, and you can ask someone to bring it back to your home as a gift.”
Bai Xue hurriedly waved her hands and said, “No, Miss has already taken good care of the servants on weekdays. Besides, there is enough food and drink at home now.”
“This is my regard, if you refuse, it won’t be justified.” Jiang Li insisted.
“Just take what Miss rewards you.” Tong’er also advised, “In the future, just remember Miss’s kindness and be loyal to her.”
Bai Xue pondered and felt that if she refused again, she would appear to be ignorant, so she smiled with embarrassment and said, “This slave thanks you for your kindness on behalf of brother and sister-in-law.” Suddenly something came to mind and she said, “By the way, last time Miss asked if there was a girl named Hai Tang in this slave’s hometown. My family has been making some inquiries, this time they also wrote in the letter that there’s been news.”
Jiang Li was stunned, then stood up at once, “What did you say?”
Tong’er and Bai Xue were startled by her, not expecting Jiang Li to have such a big reaction. Bai Xue quickly realized that the news about this girl called Hai Tang should be very important to Jiang Li. Anyway, what’s written in the letter was all about daily life, and there was nothing that couldn’t be seen by others. So she handed the letter in her hand to Jiang Li, “It’s all written in the letter. Miss, take a look.”
Jiang Li couldn’t wait to open the letter and read it. Tong’er stood next to her and her sharp eyes saw Jiang Li’s hand trembling. Tong’er felt strange, the letter was light as a feather, so why couldn’t Jiang Li hold it steadily?
Jiang Li could not hide her excitement. When she was Xue Fang Fei, she was put under house arrest in the house due to Yongning’s calculation, and she was burdened with infamy. She was vaguely aware that this matter might be a conspiracy. Immediately afterwards, her two personal servant girls were beaten to death by Mother Shen under some pretext. Jiang Li didn’t even have time to stop her, when she went, there was only one corpse left. The remaining two people were secretly “driven” out of the house by Jiang Li on charges of theft.
When Mother Shen found out, she rushed back to question her, but she refused to speak even when forced to death. She only said that the servant girls took her money and ran away. Mother Shen had no choice but to report it to the authorities. However, the authorities searched the area and found no trace of the two servant girls, so she had no choice but to give up.
Xue Fang Fei didn’t think much about it at that time. She just felt that with the Shen family’s characters, no matter whether there was a conspiracy or not, since they believed that she had done something “scandalous”, they would certainly attack the servant girls around her. These servant girls had all grown up with her, and they were as close as sisters. The dead could not be resurrected, but the living might be able to find a chance to survive. As long as Du Juan and Hai Tang escape, she would not implicate them. There might be opportunities in the future to find out past events again.
Who knew this parting would be forever.
When she saw Bai Xue at first sight, although Bai Xue’s appearance was not very good, she was strong and could recognize a few simple words. The most important thing was that she came from Zaohua Village, which was Hai Tang’s hometown. Jiang Li only carried a fluke mentality, if she could get news about Hai Tang from Bai Xue, it would be a good thing for her.
But Jiang Li knew that this possibility was extremely small. Although the Shen family didn’t know where Hai Tang’s hometown was, it’s not necessarily that Princess Yongning wouldn’t use any means to find out. If Princess Yongning also knew about this and sent people to investigate, Hai Tang and Du Juan were just two weak women. Although the world is huge, it would be difficult for them to hide.
It was originally a very slim hope, but now she suddenly got news, telling her that this hope might come to reality. Jiang Li was as happy as the time when she knew Xue Huaiyuan was still alive, and she could no longer hide her expression.
She read the letter with lightning speed, scanning every line. As she read, her eyes darkened.
Good things are always accompanied with bad things. Bai Xue’s family said in the letter, about the matter Bai Xue asked them to inquire before, there was indeed a family with a daughter named Hai Tang next to the starch shop in Zaohua Village. It’s just that the parents of that family died long ago, and there were only two teenagers left now. It’s said that their sister, who was the girl called Hai Tang, worked as a servant girl following an official lady many years ago.
