Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 95 Part 3

Chapter 95 Part 3: Qiong Zhi

“I didn’t expect Xue Zhao to ntion to you,” Qiong Zhi said with a smile: “after all, I’m just a woman from the brothel. He, being such an upright and righteous man, was actually not afraid of dirtying his own na. However, for him to ntion these things ans that he has a very good relationship with you.”

There’s probing in her speech, she probably thought that Jiang Li and Xue Zhao’s relation was not ordinary. Jiang Li laughed: “Xue Zhao’s sister and I are good friends. These things were actually not told by Xue Zhao to , it was Xue Zhao’s sister who told about them.”

The aning in her words were obvious, she and Xue Zhao had no relationship, but Xue Fang Fei and she were good friends.

As such, Qiong Zhi’s gaze turned much softer. Qiong Zhi smiled and said: “So it’s like that.”

“I also ca here to sound out, thinking perhaps you are no longer in Xi Hua Lou. Didn’t think that you are still here.” Jiang Li said.

“If I’m not at Xi Hua Lou, where else could I go?” Qiong Zhi also laughed.

Jiang Li was silent for a mont before asking: “At that ti Xue Zhao wanted to bring you out from Xi Hua Lou, why didn’t you agree with him then?”

Qiong Zhi looked at Jiang Li with an unclear aning and slowly said: “Miss, I am different from you. Just a glance could tell that you are a young miss from a big family who lives like a princess and doesn’t know the human’s suffering. I was sold into Xi Hua Lou since childhood, after both my parents passed away. Learning the four arts, fawning and winning the favors of guests, these are my ways to earn a living. I don’t feel any sha in doing this, compared with those who were sold into big families as slaves or maid servants. Perhaps there would be a day where the master would use them to serve as a bed warr or a concubine, then they would be living under the hands of the mistress of the house, trembling in fear and trepidation. I’m already very content, at least over here, as a flower girl, I don’t have to guard against the poisonous wife.”

“You see as if I have no dignity. But if I was born in a wealthy family, I naturally could hold my head high. Only people with money can speak of dignity, people with no money better not speak about dignity.” She smiled and said: “Xue Zhao is very good, although he doesn’t look like a noble son of a big family, he was born righteous. However, his justice sotis seems too naive.”

Suddenly, Qiong Zhi seed to recall sothing and laughed. She said: “That day when he wanted to bring away, I asked him, if I followed him to leave Xi Hua Lou, what should I do in the future? As a result, he looked at in surprise and asked, ‘in the future, you should naturally look for an honorable job to earn a living and live your days well.’” Qiong Zhi spread her hands out and said: “You see, he had never thought of accepting by his side. Other man redeems a woman’s body not to let her go out and earn a living herself.”

“Xue Zhao does not like . It was only due to his sense of justice and encountering this kind of thing. I must not treat this as having tender, protective feelings, also must not think that his treatnt towards was due to affection. I cannot follow a person who has no feelings for , so why should I leave Xi Hua Lou? At least in Xi Hua Lou I won’t lack money and won’t lack n who hold up in their hands.”

Qiong Zhi sighed, there’s listlessness in her sight. She said with lancholy: “Probably his naive righteousness has moved . I’ve seen many n in Xi Hua Lou, each and everyone has their own intention, everyone is selfish, only a small number are like him, distinguishing clearly from right and wrong. I don’t know whether in this lifeti I can still et this kind of person, without any intention, only simply thinking of helping ....... Unfortunately,” she laughed, ridiculing herself, “he never ca over anymore. I also haven’t seen him again.”

Jiang Li listened throughout Qiong Zhi’s narration. There were so places where Jiang Li didn’t agree with, but so matters she had no choice but to admire Qiong Zhi for seeing clearly. Indeed Xue Zhao did not like Qiong Zhi and she was fully aware of this, thus she didn’t entangle him. Xue Zhao was indeed naive and righteous. If not, he would not be set up by Princess Yongning and died dubiously.

Restraining the surging emotions in her heart, Jiang Li said: “Miss Qiong Zhi, it’s not that Xue Zhao does not want to co, it’s because he can’t.”

“Oh?” Qiong Zhi laughed, “why can’t he co, could he be married?”

“He is dead.” Jiang Li said.

Qiong Zhi was stunned. As if half a day had passed before she understood the aning behind the three words Jiang Li said. She cried out: “Impossible!”

“He’s really dead, died in Yanjing, the capital. He was robbed and killed, then his corpse was discarded in the river.”

Qiong Zhi covered her mouth at once. Jiang Li clearly saw the tears in Qiong Zhi’s eyes. She shook her head and muttered: “How is it possible.....”

“You only know Xue Zhao’s na, but do not know his identity. Xue Zhao was the son of Tongxiang county’s deputy, Xue Huai Yuan. His sister, Xue Fang Fei, was married off and moved to Yanjing. A year ago, Xue Fang Fei had a miscarriage in Yanjing, Xue Zhao went to Yanjing to visit her but t with bandits. Afterwards, Xue Fang Fei died of illness, Xue Huai Yuan also passed away.” Jiang Li spoke extrely calmly. She looked at Qiong Zhi, “in a short year, the three people of the Xue family all died. Don’t you feel that it’s strange?”

Qiong Zhi asked: “What do you an?”
