"I want to go to Tongxiang."

Ye Mingyu was stunned.

Jiang Li's eyes were firm, and she had thought about it. Anyway, knowing that her father was suffering in prison, she couldn't bear to rescue her at a moment late. Now in the Ye family, she is a big living person. She can't disappear for no reason. Why should she tell the Ye family. Otherwise, Mrs. ye will also worry.

Just to find a perfect reason is too reluctantly. As Miss Jiang Er, she should be "just talking. A handsome young man came from outside and respectfully said," Your Excellency, the car and horse are ready. "

Lu Ji was stunned and looked at Ji Heng: "do you want to leave?"

Ji Heng glanced at the blooming flowers in the flower bed and said with a smile, "yes."

"Where to?"

"Tongxiang."

"Tongxiang?" Lu Ji didn't understand, "do adults want to observe Jiang Li?"

"No." Ji Xuan whispered, "it's going to the theatre."

……

The next morning, the Ye family's carriage set out early again.

Ye Mingyu seems to know Jiang Li's eagerness in her heart, and she is also in a hurry. Tong'er and Bai Xue are also strange. They ask Jiang Li if ye Mingyu really has something important. Otherwise, why do they work so hard.

Jiang Li knew that ye Mingyu did it for her, and her heart was also very grateful. In any case, ye Mingyu is trying his best to help her. She hopes that the Ye family can grow stronger and become a solid and powerful support for herself, but she doesn't want to involve the Ye family in an insignificant war.

There is no doubt that Xue Huaiyuan's imprisonment was written by Yongning. Nowadays, Tongxiang people are secretive about Xue Huaiyuan, which must be the reason why others are involved. She rushed in so rashly, which broke the other party's rules. The other party got Yongning's explanation. On the surface, she pretended to respect her as the first daughter, but in fact, she wouldn't pay attention to her at all.

Once you dig up the old accounts and find them all the way along the line, it will always be about Yongning. Sooner or later, Yongning will know that he is investigating Xue Huaiyuan and has dealt with Yongning. Jiang Li knows Yongning's temperament. She won't have any scruples because she is Jiang Yuanbai's daughter. She will only use all means to achieve her own goals.

This trip to Tongxiang was full of difficulties. In a sense, she was alone, and she had to fight alone.

But she won't shrink back, never.

Because ye Mingyu was in a hurry, it was just after noon when he was about to arrive in Tongxiang.

On a winter day, ye Mingyu was also sweating. He took a veil and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Jiang Li lifted the curtain and said, "ah Li, look, Tongxiang is in front of him."

Tong'er and Bai Xue looked out. When they saw the situation in front of them, tong'er couldn't help saying, "so this is Tongxiang. It's not as prosperous as Xiangyang."

In the distance, the main street of Tongxiang is not as spacious as Xiangyang, let alone Yanjing city. There are numerous shops on both sides. Many vendors set up stalls on the street to sell candied haws and other gadgets.

Hearing tonger's words, Ye Mingyu said: "It's much better now! In the past, Tongxiang was a poor county in Xiangyang. People had to change their brothers and sisters for a pair of shoes in their homes. Not to mention shops and the like. The seller came in once a month, which was an exchange. Later, a county magistrate came to Tongxiang, who was a good official who could work. After staying here for more than ten years, Tongxiang gradually became rich. Although it was not as good as Xiangyang, if you had seen Tongxiang before, take care of it and sigh. ”

Jiang Li was stunned. Suddenly, she heard the timing of Xue Huaiyuan from ye Mingyu's mouth. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh. A similar emotion surged up from her throat, forcing her to lower her head to avoid letting others find her red eyes.

After easing up, Jiang Li gently asked, "how is the county magistrate now?"

"How's it going?" Ye Mingyu scratched his head. "What's up? That's it. I haven't seen the county magistrate since others heard about him. Besides, I haven't been to Tongxiang for many years, and have been in Xiangyang for many years. I don't know these things! But I guess he's such a good official. He may have been promoted long ago. Let's go to be a senior official!"

Jiang Li's mouth overflowed with a wry smile.

In fact, on the contrary, Xue Huaiyuan has become a prisoner instead of a rising star, which is really absurd.

"Let's go." Ye Mingyu urged the horse team to continue to move forward.

Tongxiang is not like Yanjing city or Xiangyang, and there are soldiers guarding the city gate. There are few people going in and out of Tongxiang, and there is even a layer of ash on the stone statue at the gate of the city. There are no small soldiers guarding the city. Occasionally, a few herb collectors with baskets on their backs came back from collecting herbs in the mountains and passed in front of the city gate. Occasionally, they cast surprised eyes at Ye Mingyu and his party, probably because they looked at their faces.

Tongxiang is very small, and the common people are almost familiar with it. Even if they can't name it, they can make a good face. As soon as they entered, tong'er and Bai Xue only felt that it was not as lively as Xiangyang and Yanjing, but it was also a simple folk custom, with a special sense of simplicity.

Ye Mingyu went to the side of the carriage and asked Jiang Li, "ah Li, where do you want to go?" However, Jiang Li was given the power to make decisions. I think it was to let Jiang Li go and do her own things.

Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "we have so many people and it's inconvenient to move. Let's find a place to settle down first."

"OK, it's an inn..." before ye Mingyu finished speaking, he heard Jiang Li interrupt his words: "it's inconvenient to live in an inn here. It's better to find a B & B and rent it for a while."

Ye Mingyu frowned, "rent? Ah Li, are you going to stay here for a long time?"

"I don't know." Jiang Li's tone was a little disappointed, "just walk and see." The matter of Xue Huaiyuan can't be solved in three or two days. There's no way to judge how long it will take. She can't give up, so she has to be ready to be here all the time.

Hearing this, ye Mingyu said, "in that case, let's rent it."

Jiang Li said, "I heard that there is a place called Qingshi Lane in Tongxiang. The B & B there is not bad. Let's go there."

"No problem." Ye Mingyu told one of the horses in the motorcade, "go find someone and ask in which direction Qingshi lane is. Let's go to Qingshi Lane now."

Jiang Li sat back in the carriage again.

Tong'er and Bai Xue looked out of the carriage curiously. Tongxiang is a small county. Here, Jiang Li doesn't have to hide her identity. There are almost no people who can recognize her except ye Mingyu and his party. She didn't have to wear a fence, so she didn't organize tonger and Bai Xue's behavior.

Bai Xue is OK. After all, she is a child from a farmer's family. Tong'er is the first time to come to such a country. At first, she felt that it was not as prosperous as Yanjing. After watching it for a long time, she was fascinated by those sugar sellers playing acrobatics on the street and thought that Tongxiang was interesting.

The carriage rumbled to Qingshi lane.

That is Jiang Li's most familiar road, Xue Fu, where she once lived with her father Xue Zhao. She has walked countless times on the road from Tongxiang city gate to Qingshi lane. Later, she went out from Qingshi lane, but she never came back. And when she came back, she became Jiang Li, no longer Ali.

Jiang Li seemed unusually silent.

Happy tong'er and Bai Xue also noticed the abnormality of Jiang Li, and gradually lowered their voices, intending to ask what happened to Jiang Li. But seeing that Jiang Li seemed to be immersed in her own mood, she couldn't say anything about her inquiry, so she had to sit beside Jiang Li carefully and worry about her.

After some time, the carriage stopped.

Ye Mingyu's voice sounded outside the carriage: "ah Li, here!"

Tong'er and Bai Xue jumped out of the carriage first, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and reached out to help Jiang Li out of the carriage.

For a moment, Jiang Li felt her hands trembling, together with her heart. She took a deep breath, took tong'er's hand and jumped out of the carriage.

Even the air is familiar.

The golden flowers in front of the door sent out a familiar fragrance, and there were small pits on the bluestone slab at the entrance of the alley that fell down the eaves. In the distance, there were children playing and laughing, and some looked at them curiously, hiding behind the stone lion with timid temptation.

Jiang Li's mouth pulled out a smile, which looked in Ye Mingyu's eyes, but it was a little sad for no reason.

Everything is familiar, everything is the original appearance in her memory, and she has never changed except herself.

"Go ahead." Jiang Li Dao. Although this was said to Ye Mingyu, she couldn't help walking forward without Ye Mingyu answering.

She didn't know what the Xue family looked like now. She didn't even dare to think about it. She thought she would be shy of being close to her hometown. At this moment, she knew that she couldn't care about anything, and there was no hesitation. She followed her instinct and walked forward.

That's home.

Ye Mingyu and his party hurried to follow.

Suddenly, Jiang Li's footsteps stopped.

Five or six steps away in front of her, there was the door of a house. It seemed that the house was not big, and it was even low compared with Jiang JIAYE's family. I don't know whether the bluestone tiles on the eaves are beaten by wind and rain or in disrepair for a long time. Some of them fell down, and the top was empty, and there was a broken branch.

Although there is sunlight, it gives people a sense of desolation that families are surrounded by walls and their families are separated.

Ye Mingyu and his party, who followed closely, saw Jiang Li standing in front of the house and did not move. They were all a little puzzled. Ye Mingyu whispered, "a li?"

"Well." Jiang Li raised the corners of her mouth, and tears fell in an instant.

The door of the Xue family's house is sealed by the government. There is no Xue family in the world.
