About guessed Ji shuran's plan next, Jiang Li settled down instead.

The worst thing about everything is to be in a passive situation, not knowing what you are going to face, so you are unprepared. But when you know, even if you know that you are facing difficulties, you can always follow the clues to find a way out, which is not helpless.

Jiang Li knew that after the Xue family case, Princess Yongning had been eyeing herself, not to mention how energetic Shen Yurong would be. The domineering Princess Yongning would surely find reasons to trouble herself next. Before that, if Ji's mother and daughter were safe, Jiang Li didn't have time to spend too much time on it. But Ji Shi has always been stubborn, and Jiang Li already felt that it was not a good idea to leave Ji Shi in the Jiang family.

She has to get rid of all the people who have nothing to do with it.

Zhao Ke had left, and Jiang Li sat on the couch, with a question floating in her heart. Why did Ji pursue himself? Even when ye Zhenzhen left a child, it was time to marry out at an old age, so there was no need to kill them all. Even if Zhou Yanbang wants to grab this marriage, he doesn't have to kill Jiang Li. In those days, it was well known that Jiang Li killed her mother and killed her brother, and it was undeniable that everyone was watching. But before that, I heard that Jiang Li and Ji shuran were in harmony.

There was no hatred for no reason, although it was later rumored that Jiang Li was quite scheming, pretending to be friendly with her stepmother, and pushed Ji shuran to miscarry when her stepmother was pregnant. But Jiang Li thought that in those days, Jiang Li was too young, and she was in such an environment since childhood. No one taught her means and tricks. How to get to this point, even Ji shuran could calculate.

Jiang Li felt a little strange at first glance, but due to the long time interval, many things are difficult to investigate. Now Ji shuran is pressing step by step, which makes Jiang Li have the determination to thoroughly investigate this matter. If there is any secret in it, it can probably become a tool to deal with Ji shuran.

Anyway, go to ask Zhao Ke again tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li fell asleep.

Yao Guangzhu, Jiang Youyao is sleepless tonight.

Today, when her servant girl Jinhua was in the corridor of Jiang Fu and followed Jiang Li's maid tong'er closely, tong'er dropped a post and didn't realize it. Jinhua picked up the post, opened it and found that it was the post given by Ningyuan Houfu to Jiang Li. She didn't dare to delay immediately, so she gave the post to Jiang Youyao.

Jiang Youyao couldn't sleep and rubbed this post repeatedly. The post was not written by Zhou Yanbang, but by Jiang yu'e. Thinking of Jiang yu'e, Jiang Youyao gnashed her teeth. Zhou Yanbang was originally Jiang yu'e's brother-in-law, but now he has become Jiang yu'e's husband. Her sweetheart is now sleeping peacefully with Jiang yu'e in her arms. Although Jiang yu'e is only a concubine, and although Shen Ruyun is Zhou Yanbang's wife, Jiang Youyao can't wait to tear Jiang yu'e apart when she thinks that she once didn't pay attention at all and that her extremely contemptuous third bedroom daughter robbed her husband.

But at present, Jiang yu'e has been included in the Marquis of Ningyuan. Before long, the marriage between Shen Ruyun and Zhou Yanbang is coming, and Jiang Youyao has nothing to do. She wanted to go to Zhou Yanbang, but she didn't know how to make it clear with Zhou Yanbang. She didn't believe that Zhou Yanbang had no affection for her at all. If it weren't for human calculation, they should have been a good couple.

"Jiang Li..." Jiang Youyao looked at the post in front of her. Jiang yu'e and Jiang Li didn't deal with each other. They had always stood by their side before. Why did you invite Jiang Li to a party after you married the Zhou family. Not to mention herself, Jiang Youyao, after all, caused a scar on Jiang yu'e's forehead, and the two sisters were unwilling to be harmonious in face, but Jiang yu'e even refused to see her own sister Jiang Yuyan, and invited Jiang Li alone, which is intriguing.

At the Palace Banquet, Ji shuran once said that it was Jiang Li and ye Shijie who wanted to calculate, but somehow it was Zhou Yanbang and Jiang yu'e who finally had an accident. It must be the ghost of Jiang Li. Jiang Li and Jiang yu'e have reached some agreement. In this way, Jiang yu'e will be satisfied. Now the appearance of this post seems to completely prove the truth of Ji shuran's conjecture.

Only when Jiang Li and Jiang yu'e have a friendship in private, can they get into the current situation.

Jiang Youyao didn't tell Ji shuran about the post. She accepted the post and didn't plan to return it to Jiang Li. She decided to reply a post to Jiang yu'e in the name of Jiang Li again, change the time and place again, and see what the idea of Jiang yu'e and Jiang Li was.

She is bound to lift their bottom.

……

This night, I spent it in several yards of the Jiang family. When Jiang Li woke up, the winter sun rarely appeared in Yanjing.

The snow in the yard hasn't melted, raising your eyes to shine on the snow, sending out a slight warm luster, which makes people warm. Jiang Li plans to see Xue Huaiyuan after dinner as usual. Emperor Hong Xiaodi said that he would invite all the world's miracle doctors to treat Xue Huaiyuan and see if he could have the opportunity to arouse Xue Huaiyuan's mind.

These days, there are an endless stream of doctors coming to Ye's house, and even the palace doctor sent by Emperor Hong Xiao. However, when they came to see Xue Huaiyuan, they shook their heads again, saying that they could not be cured.

Jiang Li was disappointed at the beginning, but ye Mingyu comforted her. Anyway, it is a good thing that Xue Huaiyuan is still alive, and there is hope if he is still alive. Moreover, Xue Huaiyuan in front of him doesn't have to remember the terrible things he spent in prison, and doesn't have to know the sad news of his children's tragic death. Living like this may not be a little happier. When he regains his senses and accepts the great blow brought by fate, he will feel how precious these days that he can't remember anything are.

Hearing Ye Mingyu say so, Jiang Li is also complicated in her heart. On the one hand, she hopes her father can recover, and she can recognize her father in this life. On the other hand, she felt that it was too cruel for her father to recall those injustices, and she could not treat a poor old man like this.

Anyway, it's still necessary to visit Xue Huaiyuan every day.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at her every move coldly. Jiang Li knew that her actions made Jiang Yuanbai unhappy, but now she didn't care. She couldn't leave her biological father alone.

On the way to Ye Fu, Jiang Li met a strange woman in the corridor.

This woman is not young. She can vaguely see the style of her youth between her eyebrows and eyes. She doesn't dress like a servant, but she's not gorgeous. She only has a servant girl with her. The expression is very plain, so plain that it is like a stagnant water that has been silent for many years, and it can't arouse any beauty.

They ran into it on the corridor. The woman's servant girl called "second Miss" to salute Jiang Li. The woman slowly looked at Jiang Li and then softly called, "second miss."

Jiang Li stared at her carefully, and the other party's expression was still without a trace of fluctuation, as if it had been so sad and joyless for thousands of years, and there was nothing in the world that she could care about anymore. Jiang Li said, "aunt Hu."

Aunt Hu is the only aunt in Jiang's mansion. Although the Jiang family has a big family and great business, and the internal harmony of the family is not as good as the surface, Jiang Li thinks it's OK. There are several sons of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuanbai, Jiang Yuanping and Jiang Yuanxing, both of whom have only the legitimate sons born of the main house. Even if there is an aunt, there is no son. It is said that old man Jiang spoiled his concubine and gave birth to Jiang Yuanxing. She did a lot of stupid things for this. Old lady Jiang disgusted the spoiled concubine and was not happy with Jiang Yuanxing. Not only that, but also the family style was just right, and the sons were not allowed to let their aunt have children.

And aunt Hu is the only aunt who gave birth to children in the whole Jiang mansion.

At the beginning, aunt Hu was the servant girl next to Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang took the master's seat and made a face for Jiang Yuanbai. Later, ye Zhenzhen married in without children for three years, but the housemaid was pregnant first. Originally, old lady Jiang wanted to give the servant girl a bowl of medicine to prevent her from being born. But ye Zhenzhen was soft hearted and took the initiative to beg for mercy, but she still let the child be born.

She was born a daughter, the eldest miss of the Jiang family, and Jiang Li was born soon after. The servant girl became an aunt. It is said that Aunt Hu does not fight or rob. She is kind and gets along well with Ye Zhenzhen. Ye Zhenzhen died soon after giving birth to Jiang Li. Aunt Hu was depressed for a while.

Later, Ji shuran entered the door. When Jiang Li was two years old, the eldest miss of the Jiang family accidentally fell off the rockery when she was playing in the garden, and she was hopeless. Since then, aunt Hu was sad day and night, almost got hysteria, and stayed in the yard all day, holding pillows and singing lullabys, and hardly appeared in front of everyone. The old lady was grateful for the friendship between her master and servant for many years, and she still looked for a servant girl to serve her. Anyway, the yuan family did not lack this money, and it wouldn't matter if she had an extra pair of chopsticks to eat.

Aunt Hu looked at Jiang Li and gently lowered her head.

A trace of doubt flashed through Jiang Li's heart. Everyone said that Aunt Hu had mild hysteria, and Jiang Li had only seen her far away at the family banquet once. At this moment, looking closer, although aunt Hu's expression was flat, her eyes were not turbid after she was crazy. This is different from Xue Huaiyuan. She is just drifting, but she is sober.

Jiang Li thought for a few times in her heart, and suddenly said, "the sun is very good today, and it seems that it is also very close to Aunt Hu's yard. Aunt Hu, I'll go and sit down with you, and you shouldn't refuse?"

Several people were stunned.

Bai Xue and tong'er are puzzled. Jiang Li has no contact with aunt Hu at all. Aunt Hu is also like a transparent person in the house. Why should Jiang Li take the initiative to make friends with aunt Hu.

The servant girls around aunt Hu were also surprised. They were used to living a lonely life in the yuan mansion. Except for the old lady, no one seemed to remember them. Maybe even Jiang Yuanbai has forgotten that he once had such an aunt, but Jiang Li's attitude is kind and her lips are smiling, which is hard to refuse.

Jiang Li just looked at Aunt Hu with a smile.

After a while, aunt Hu whispered, "OK."

Aunt Hu's yard is more biased than Jiang Li's "Fangfei garden". After at least some things, Ji shuran dare not treat Fangfei garden harshly. However, Jiang Li could only say that if he had not known aunt Hu, he would have doubted whether the yard was for an aunt or a servant.

In other words, Ji shuran, the personal servant girl beside Jiang Youyao, lives in a more comfortable place than aunt Hu. The yard is small, but it doesn't affect the feeling of desolation at all. There is nothing to decorate. In the house, a bed, a table, and a few chairs are all the possessions.

Aunt Hu's servant girl went to pour tea for Jiang Li. Jiang Li saw that there were only two tea cups in the room, and the teapot was still missing. As for the dessert on the table, there is no more.

The servant girl was a little embarrassed, but aunt Hu was very natural, as if she didn't think it was wrong. The clouds were light and the wind was light between her eyes. Jiang Li thought that she looked more like a nun in Qingcheng Mountain nunnery, without desire or desire, as if she was going to return to the wind the next moment.

"Aunt Hu is really lonely here." Jiang Li said, "in winter, why don't you even have a pot of charcoal fire?"

It seemed that the servant girl finally found someone who could decide and speak for them, and those who were wronged were about to cry, "The slaves went to the charcoal fire in the kitchen, and the charcoal fire in the kitchen was all damp. Even if it was dried, it was the worst charcoal in the house, which made the house cough... If the second lady had pity on our aunt, she would go to the other end of the kitchen and say that our aunt had been frostbitten several times this winter, and her knees were old."

Jiang Li said, "why don't you go to your mother? The right to be in charge of the family is in your mother's hands. Mother will make decisions for you in this small matter."

The servant girl stopped talking. Aunt Hu said, "nothing. I'm used to it. I'm not cold."

Her voice is also gentle, if not carefully listen, it is almost impossible to hear. Jiang Li looked at her. This woman was by no means a hysterical person. She didn't hide her sober intention in front of herself. The person she wants to hide is not herself. The object she wants to confess is herself.

What for?

Jiang Li said with a smile, "I heard that Aunt Hu often hugged me when my mother first gave birth to me. After all these years, I can't remember many things clearly. Seeing aunt Hu, I feel a lot strange, but I think it's actually very kind."

Of course, this is Jiang Li's nonsense. She is not the real second Miss Jiang. But even the real Miss Jiang Er decided not to remember these things. After all, Jiang Li was too young at that time.

But this sentence seemed to recall aunt Hu's long memories. Her eyes became a little distant and slowly said, "yes, that year..."

She didn't go on.

Jiang Li said, "in those days, what was the matter with the big sister who fell off the rockery?"

A sudden word stunned everyone in the room.

Bai Xue and tong'er were too frightened to speak. Although aunt Hu looked good at the moment, she talked about the past pain in front of a mother. In case aunt Hu collapsed and committed hysteria, how could it be good?

Aunt Hu's servant girl seemed to have some terrible news, and she trembled slightly.

Aunt Hu's eyes looked at Jiang Li, as if something flashed quickly. She asked, "what do you mean?"

"I'm just asking, is there any secret about the death of the eldest sister? For example, was she hurt?"

She spoke boldly and without taboo, pounding one by one, and the servant girls didn't know what expression to use. But Jiang Li looked calm, as if she was asking a very common thing.

But aunt Hu's calm expression was broken.

She said, "second miss, be careful. If there is anything, the house can't say it."

"That's why you have to pretend to be hysterical, pretending not to know the truth, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and then you can get away with it. But you suffer from hammering your heart day by day, and you can't get out of your daughter's death." She glanced at the things on the table in the room.

The eldest miss of the Jiang family died early and was not allowed to enter the Jiang family ancestral hall. Aunt Hu put Miss Jiang's memorial tablet in the room and offered it every day. The smell of incense and candles remained in the room for many years. There are also some children's things on the table, such as rattles. It can be seen that Aunt Hu still can't put it down.

After so many years, she should put it down. She is so angry that she can't let go. She is sad and can't let go. Is it because her daughter's death has an inside story and is really wronged. She was unwilling and had no choice but to live with resentment and hatred.

But I dare not forget it for a moment.

Jiang Li looked at her and said gently, "aunt Hu, if the eldest sister is still alive, she should get married this year. She is older than me and should be born beautiful."

Aunt Hu closed her eyes slightly. Jiang Li saw her hand on the table, slowly clenched it, and then loosened it again. She looked at Jiang Li and said, "second miss, I don't know anything."

Jiang Li looked at her quietly for a while before saying, "really? That's a pity." She stood up, patted her clothes unintentionally, and said, "I thought that if there was something hidden in it, maybe I could help. It's not that I want to help aunt Hu, I'm just sorry for my big sister."

Aunt Hu moved her lips and didn't speak. Jiang Li asked tong'er and Bai Xue to go out, As I walked, I said, "I have something to do today, so I won't stay here for a long time. Aunt Hu doesn't have charcoal fire here. It's really too cold. If my aunt has anything to say to me, you can come to Fangfei garden to find me. Fangfei garden has enough charcoal fire, and it's not cold. I think my aunt should come to Fangfei garden more, after all... My mother and you used to be very good."

With these words, she didn't look back and walked out of the door.

Aunt Hu didn't look at her anymore. She just looked at the tea in her cup. The tea is coarse and inferior. Is it stored carefully by the servant girl, waiting for guests to take it out and drink it, but there are no guests in this yard all the year round. The tea has been put for a long time, and the room is damp and has changed its taste.

The servant girl said, "aunt..."

Aunt Hu sighed softly and said, "the second young lady has grown up."

The servant girl didn't speak.

"If my daughter is still..." she murmured, "it's time to grow up."

"Aunt, what should I do now?" The servant girl whispered, "if the second young lady comes to the door, she will inevitably be found by her wife."

"Between the second young lady and his wife, there must be no end to death." Aunt Hu calmly lowered her eyes and said, "now is the time."

Out of aunt Hu's yard, Bai Xue and tong'er seemed to have regained consciousness.

"Unexpectedly, aunt Hu looked good and had no hysteria." Tong'er said, "at first, the maid heard from the people in the house that Aunt Hu didn't know anyone. When she saw her today, it was clear."

"The maid also felt strange," Bai Xue interrupted, "aunt Hu and the maid had completely different thoughts."

"What's different?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.

"I can't tell. I always feel that Aunt Hu is not the same as this aunt Hu." Seeing no one around, Bai Xue leaned close to Jiang Li and asked quietly, "at first, the girl said that there was another secret about the death of the eldest lady. What do you mean? Was the eldest lady hurt?"

Tong'er also looked at Jiang Li nervously.

They have also heard these things in large families, but the Jiang family is relatively simple in population. This kind of thing never occurred to us for a while. Just when Jiang Li and aunt Hu talked just now, the meaning revealed in it is now creepy in retrospect.

"I'm not sure yet. Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Li said, "don't let others know about it. Let's have a look at the rest."

Snow white and tong'er quickly shut up.

Jiang Li already had a general guess in her heart. Since aunt Hu didn't deny it, it was really not an accident that Miss Jiang's death. And aunt Hu's reminder seemed to prove that the reason why she didn't say it was because she was worried about someone.

The third room of the Jiang family is a concubine, let alone the second room of the Jiang family. There is no need to deal with a concubine room of a big room, only the big room... Miss Jiang had an accident after Ji shuran entered the door. With Jiang Li's understanding of Ji shuran, she was not surprised by what Ji shuran did.

However, if Ji shuran is really related to the cause of Miss Jiang's death, Jiang Li will look at Aunt Hu with new eyes. Can endure the blood feud of life and death, but it is not dependent on Ji shuran, but the despair of life. This is not to linger, but to wait for an opportunity. Once she has a chance, she will come out for revenge, just like herself.

Now, just ask clearly.

After leaving Jiang Fu, Jiang Li still went to Ye Fu to see Xue Huaiyuan. But because she was thinking about Aunt Hu, Jiang Li was also a little absent-minded when she was at the Ye family.

Seeing her like this, ye Shijie thought that Jiang Li was worried about the Xue family case involving Princess Yongning, and Jiang Li was worried about offending King Cheng, so he said, "King Cheng is busy with his own affairs recently, and his majesty intends to reduce King Cheng's power, so King Cheng has no time to take into account the Xue family case. You don't have to worry," he paused, He added, "instead, I'm worried about Princess Yongning. I heard that the princess wants to act without taboo. These days, you go out with more bodyguards. If you can, you don't have to go to Ye's house every day. My third uncle and I will take good care of Lord Xue."

Jiang Li regained consciousness and looked at Ye Shijie. Think about the first time I saw Ye Shijie, and ye Shijie was at war with her. Now he is sincerely thinking of her. The fate between people is so wonderful. It's also emotional to think about it. She laughed: "I'm all right. At least there's the yuan family behind me. It's you. You're tied to me. If Yongning and Cheng Wang want to deal with me, they may be angry with you. You're more difficult in officialdom. Be careful in everything. If you can, put down your principles for the time being. If there's too much difference with your principles, you can ask my father for help. My father values interests most. Now you're a member of the Ministry of household affairs, and if you get promoted, it's beneficial to him , he will help. "

Ye Shijie felt a little strange. When Jiang Li talked about Jiang Yuanbai, it seemed that he was not his father, but a stranger. But ye Shijie also knew that Jiang Li was right. Although Jiang Li is younger than him, many times, Jiang Li seems to be more sophisticated than him.

I don't know how I got such a temperament.

Ye Shijie didn't say any more. Jiang Li looked back and visited Xue Huaiyuan for a while. After talking with Ye Mingyu, she returned to Jiang's house.

Even Princess Yongning can't guess what she can do. It's better to be safe. These days, except for the Ye family, she still doesn't want to go elsewhere to save any accidents.

After returning to Jiang Fu, at night, Jiang Li stood in front of the window and blew the whistle with peony flowers again.

This time, Zhao Ke appeared quickly. Although he tried to show calm, Jiang Li could still see the helplessness in his expression.

"What can I do for Miss Jiang er?" Zhao Ke asked.

Jiang Li said, "Zhao Ke, you came to the Jiang family seven years ago. At that time, I had gone to Qingcheng Mountain. Although you were not in the Jiang family before, I think your master should let you check what happened in the Jiang family before."

Zhao Ke was a little puzzled: "subordinates don't understand."

"I think maybe you know some secrets of the Jiang family, things others didn't know, and things I didn't know in the past. Now that you know it, why don't you share it with me so that I can understand it?"

She spoke lightly, but Zhao Ke was stunned. A moment later, her face seemed to be blue and white, which was almost indescribable to Jiang Li. He said, "subordinates... Subordinates are not people who pry into others' secrets."

He is not the long tongued woman who likes to chew the root of her tongue in the streets. He likes to inquire about family gossip on weekdays. Jiang Li's words clearly used him as a servant girl, and he said it so righteously!

"You don't have to pay attention to small things naturally," Jiang Li said. "But you always know the important matter of human life. Besides, Miss Jiang, my father's first concubine, fell off the rockery when playing in the garden many years ago and died. But today I heard some rumors that miss Jiang's death was not entirely an accident. Zhao Ke, do you know what the secret is?"

……

In the government house, the study is still brightly lit.

Wen Ji, the bodyguard, stood in the study, bowed his head and said, "Miss Jiang Er whistled again tonight."

The young man in red sat in front of the desk, and his robe was soft on the ground. In winter, the ground was also covered with thick stalls. The carpet lined with Chinese clothes seems to have a bright luster like gemstones.

"Oh?" Ji asked, "why?"

"Inquire about the reason why Miss Jiang died many years ago."

"Poof", Lu Ji, who was drinking tea, almost blew out a mouthful of tea. He said, "Miss Jiang Er actually asked Zhao Ke about this kind of thing?"

That's Zhao Ke. Zhao Ke, who is one of the best in Kung Fu in the government, was actually regarded as a spy who inquired about secret gossip, so he used it at will?

Ji Heng said that he whistled when there was something important, but Jiang Li whistled too often. Isn't it important?

"She's quite impolite," Ji Heng laughed, his expression not angry, only said: "really take yourself as an outsider."
