Chapter 95 Part 4: Qiong Zhi
Happy Lunar New Year! May the start of spring brings us new opportunities and abundance. Let us stay healthy and happy!
“Due to my relationship with Xue Fang Fei, I’m thinking of ways to find out about this. But I can certainly tell you that Xue Zhao had so other cause of death, though it’s not very clear at the mont. I ca to Xiangyang precisely to realize Xue Fang Fei’s final wish. Miss Qiong Zhi,” Jiang Li looked at her, “I know you are soone with ability. Everyday, the nobility in Xiangyang cos to Xi Hua Lou. If you want to inquire about matters in Xiangyang, it would be effortless.”
What do you want to ask about?” Qiong Zhi asked imdiately.
“The Xue family from Tongxiang,” Jiang Li said: “in fact, I can be sure of Xue Zhao and Zue Fang Fei’s deaths because I saw it with my own eyes....... But I am not sure about Xue Huai Yuan who was in Tongxiang. I’m thinking of asking you to help find out about Xue Huai Yuan. Half a year ago, how he died, who arranged it afterwards and where was he buried?”
“Why should I trust you?” Qiong Zhi asked.
Although suddenly learning of Xue Zhao’s death caused Qiong Zhi to grieve, she still didn’t lose her mind at this ti.
“Xue Zhao was a person with feelings and righteousness. I think the person he made friends with would not be soone cold and ruthless. I ca for the Xue family and I hope you can help .” Jiang Li said: “I don’t have any bargaining chips to make a transaction with you because you don’t lack anything. That’s why I’m requesting.”
Qiong Zhi stared blankly at Jiang Li. Jiang Li’s manner was very sincere, practically humbling herself. Moreover, her gaze was sincere and staunch, unlike soone telling a lie.
“Xue Zhao was not famous in Yanjing, but nobody in Yanjing does not know Xue Fang Fei’s na.” Jiang Li said: “Perhaps the people coming to Xi Hua Lou have been to Yanjing, if you ask around a bit, you can find out Xue Fang Fei’s circumstances and you can tell whether I have been telling a lie or not.”
Jiang Li had thought about it and felt that it’s more fitting to let Qiong Zhi ask about the matters in Tongxiang. Firstly, Qiong Zhi was the most famous flower girl in Xi Hua Lou, her guests must be noble and wealthy. Any person would do, it would be easy to ask one or two things. She could also dig out inside informations that other people might not know.
Secondly, Qiong Zhi, this person, could not be threatened by anything. From her speech saying that being a flower girl was very good, it could be seen that she didn’t lack money, was not afraid of death, was not thinking of climbing up for power, and had no relatives and no reason. Even if there’s soone who detected that she ca looking for Qiong Zhi, thinking of prying Qiong Zhi’s mouth open for information, there would be no way. Qiong Zhi would not let the other person get away with it.
And lastly, naturally because very few people would think thatJiang Li, as the noble daughter of a chief assistant, would have dealings with Qiong Zhi, a flower girl. Concealed in the shadows and always put safety first.
Qiong Zhi gritted her teeth and struggled for a very long ti. She finally said: “I can promise you, but you have to show that Xue Zhao was truly dead.”
“Xue Zhao’s tomb is in Yanjing,” Jiang Li said softly: “but don’t worry, there will inevitably be a day where the brother and sister will return to their holand. I can then let them be reunited.” She said: “When the ti cos, Miss Qiong Zhi can visit the deceased.”
......
When Jiang Li walked out of the room, Tong’er and Bai Xue already almost couldn’t wait, fearing that Jiang Li had suffered pain under “Miss Qiong Zhi”’s vicious attacks. They let out their breaths seeing how Jiang Li ca out safe and sound. Tong’er still peeked inside only to see a cyan-dressed back view sitting in front of the dressing table. Her shoulders slightly shaking, seemingly sobbing.
Tong’er was shocked, thinking to herself, what happened? Why is this Miss Qiong Zhi crying? In any case, it’s impossible for Jiang Li to bully her right? Jiang Li is a little girl, on what basis would she bully people until they cry?
Jiang Li said: “Don’t look anymore, let’s go.”
Tong’er put her thoughts away at once and hurriedly followed Jiang Li’s footsteps with Bai Xue.
Jiang Li’s steps were not light and quick, but it wasn’t as heavy as when she ca.
Actually, from the beginning she was not certain in asking for Qiong Zhi’s help. But relying on when she was still Xue Fang Fei and t with Qiong Zhi, she vaguely felt that Qiong Zhi had feelings towards Xue Zhao. However, those sentints were already long ago and she didn’t know how much of the sentints were left.
Everyone said that won from the brothels had no feelings and actresses had no righteousness. These kinds of won were bound to have no sincerity. Yet Jiang Li thought that the won in the fireworks attached importance to feelings, and in many cases, more often than not, they were even more unconditional than ordinary people. In the end, this situation was sothing that she was betting on winning. Qiong Zhi still had old affections towards Xue Zhao, Xue Zhao’s death stirred Qiong Zhi, Qiong Zhi was willing to help, which was the best outco.
As long as she found out the news of Tongxiang and found out Xue Huai Yuan’s circumstances, her trip could be said to be not in vain. Understanding the circumstances would make it much easier to work out the counterasure. In this trip to Xiangyang, she could make an excuse to return to Tongxiang and solve things imdiately.
The three people walked through the road they ca from. Tong’er originally wanted to look for soone to show the way so they wouldn’t walk the wrong way. However, seeing that Jiang Li did not hesitate, appearing to recognize the road, and was even very familiar with it, she then dropped it. She thought that her young lady was an expert in rembering the roads and would recognize the road with just a trip.
