466: Chapter 149 Appearance 466: Chapter 149 Appearance In the following days, after locating Hai Tang, Jiang Li actually cald down.
Just as she had told Jih Heng, the only living witness besides Hai Tang was Xiao Deyin.
However, how to get Xiao Deyin to speak the truth was also a troubleso matter.
It was not yet known how Xiao Deyin drugged her in the first place or, to put it another way, how Xiao Deyin and Princess Yongning ca to their mutual understanding.
It seed likely that this was not just Xiao Deyin’s own idea; if Princess Yongning wasn’t backing her, Xiao Deyin wouldn’t dare take action in the Shen residence—she was soone who cared about her own reputation, and if exposed, her clean na would be ruined.
She had to start with Xiao Deyin.
Upon rising in the morning, it was rare that it wasn’t snowing, but rather a thick fog filled the air.
Ming Yue ca inside and said with a smile, “Miss, Sister Zhenzhu from the old madam’s side just ca by to say that in a couple of days the clothes that the tailor made new for you will be ready.
She asked if you wanted any more jewelry, so you could have a set made at the jewelry store.”
Jiang Li replied with a smile, “That won’t be necessary; I’ve already received many things these past days.”
Perhaps she was currently the Miss of the Jiang Family’s main house who everyone felt most guilty towards.
For the ti being, she lacked for nothing, and everyone ca to show concern for her.
Even Lady Lu from the second branch would invite her into the yard to sit and have so snacks every ti she saw her.
Perhaps Lady Lu thought that, regardless, Jiang Li had helped her by defeating Ji Shuran, who she disliked the most.
Now, wasn’t the power of managing the household in Lady Lu’s hands?
Jiang Li held no ill feelings towards the second branch and accepted Lady Lu’s courtesy.
In comparison, she was more cautious of the third branch.
Nowadays, Jiang Yuanxing and Lady Yang from the third branch seed indifferent to the affairs of the main and second branches.
Jiang Yuanxing beca increasingly silent, and Jiang Yuyan was seldom seen.
Jiang Li reckoned that once the New Year passed, it wouldn’t be long before Shen Ruyun married off to Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion.
That is to say, Jiang Yue’s good days were probably coming to an end.
No matter the current state between Jiang Yue and Zhou Yanbang—whether they were as close as glue or as respectful as ice—Shen Ruyun would never allow a Jiang Yue to ddle in the middle.
Shen Ruyun would certainly find a way to tornt Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue was no pushover either, probably slightly better at playing up and acting cute than Shen Ruyun.
The wicked have their own torntors; it seed the Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion was preparing for so rather restless days ahead.
After putting on her overcoat, Jiang Li took a look at herself in the mirror, feeling satisfied, she said, “Let’s go.”
Ming Yue curiously asked, “Miss, are you going out this early?”
Jiang Li smiled and answered, “I’m going to see my uncle.”
Knowing that Jiang Li had a very good relationship with her uncle, Ye Mingyu, the maids understood.
Jiang Li visited the Ye Residence every few days, and now no one from the Jiang Family interfered.
Although Ji Shuran’s scandal had spread, for so reason, the true cause of Ye Zhenzhen’s death was not known to the public.
Therefore, mbers of the Ye Family to this day remained unaware of the mystery behind Zhenzhen’s death.
Perhaps they felt guilt towards the Ye Family, and sotis even Jiang Yuanbai would surprisingly say to Jiang Li that if the Ye Family needed anything, if Cousin Ye needed help with anything, they could co and speak to him.
It seed like an attempt to make ands to the Ye Family, so the frequent interactions between Jiang Li and the Ye Family beca even more justified.
Jiang Li left the house, and the carriage took her straight to the entrance of the Ye Residence.
Seeing the carriage from the Jiang Family, the young servant at the gate didn’t say a word before opening the gate to welco her in, approaching with a cheerful smile and saying, “Miss Biao has arrived!”
Feeling as if she were among her own people, Jiang Li also felt very cordial.
Today was the day Situ Jiuyue was to treat County Magistrate Xue, and it was also the day Hai Tang was to visit Xue Huaiyuan.
Jiang Li had previously promised Hai Tang that she would allow her to see Xue Huaiyuan.
After talking with Jih Heng, the day had been set for today.
Ye Mingyu had just returned from practicing his boxing, drenched in sweat.
Seeing Jiang Li, he said, “Jiang Li, there’s a pot of beef bone soup simring in the kitchen.
Want so?”
“I’ve already eaten, uncle,” Jiang Li replied, glancing around before asking, “Cousin Ye hasn’t left the court yet?”
“No,” Ye Mingyu scratched his head, “he’s been very busy, only returning ho in the evenings.
Today, Miss Jiuyue is coming to treat County Magistrate Xue.
You ca to see him too, huh?”
“I ca by to see my uncle and to deliver the New Year’s gift,” Jiang Li said with a smile, while Bai Xue was directing the Ye Residence’s servants to unload the goods from the carriage.
“New Year’s gift?” Ye Mingyu was surprised.
“It’s from father and grandmother; they asked to bring it over,” Jiang Li explained.
