Chapter 90: Uncle

Start from the beginning
                                    

In any case, Ye Shijie needed to be more and more careful.

Time had been delayed for very long and the second branch had not strolled for long before they wanted to return to the residence. When they returned, old madam Jiang had already slept. Naturally, Jiang Li would not take the initiative to greet Ji Shuran mother and daughter, so she returned to her own courtyard without consulting anyone.

She originally wanted to sleep early, who would have thought that she was agitated tonight and no matter how, she couldn't close her eyes. In her mind, Ji Heng's pair of beautiful phoenix eyes always floated as he murmured by her ear: "Eyes are the windows of your emotion. Your eyes betray your heart."

Even Ji Heng could make out the hatred in her heart.

Jiang Li shook her head, seemingly wanting to throw the various agitation in her heart away. She wished it could be a bit quicker, hurrying up to immediately uncover Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong's ugly true colors, on behalf of the Xue family to rehabilitate the injustice of the Xue family. But nowadays, there was not enough evidence, also not enough bargaining chip, so there was no alternative but to slowly conspire.

Truly tormenting.

This night, her sleep was very unsteady. In the middle of the night, it started to rain heavily, the sound of thunder and rain made the originally unable to sleep Jiang Li became harder to fall asleep. It wasn't until the chicken crowed three times, dawn breaking in the East, and the sound of the rain lightened up did Jiang Li able to sleep in a daze.

When she woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

After a night of rain, the air was especially fresh and clean. Tong'er and Bai Xue were in the flower bed by the courtyard's gate, helping to weed and water the plants. Seeing Jiang Li came out, Tong'er directly got up and smiled: "It's rare for miss to be lazy for once, so this slave didn't let Bai Xue call you." Jiang Li walked over and she continued speaking: "Last night the rain was heavy, even breaking the crabapple flowers."

Mentioning crabapple flowers, Jiang Li suddenly recalled her personal servant girl, Hai Tang. She didn't know whether Bai Xue's family in her hometown had heard any news about her. Jiang Li immediately asked: "Bai Xue, has your family sent any family letters recently?" 

Bai Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "Not yet, miss. It's currently the harvest season, so the family should be in the middle of the busy farming period. This servant thinks they probably have no time to write a letter. Wait until this period of time is over, the letter from home should arrive."

Jiang Li nodded.

The few people were chatting casually when they suddenly saw the servant girl by the old madam's side, Fei Cui, come over. Fei Cui did not enter the courtyard and stopped by Fang Fei Garden's door. She smiled towards Jiang Li and said: "Second miss, old madam invites you to go to Wan Feng Hall."

Bai Xue and Tong'er looked at each other. If there's nothing to say, old madam Jiang would not look for Jiang Li. Jiang Li was not Jiang Bingji who would go to Wan Feng Hall to look for old madam Jiang to ask for snacks. Even if Jiang Li was willing to put down this face, being estranged for eight years, perhaps old madam Jiang would also feel ill at ease.

Tong'er asked in a clear voice: "Sister Fei Cui, why did the old madam look for our young lady to go to Wan Feng Hall? Did something happen in the residence?"

"Nothing like that." Fei Cui smiled and said: "Just that there's some visitors coming to the residence, thus asking second miss to sit together."

Tong'er saw Fei Cui answering like so and let her heart down. Based on Fei Cui's appearance and tone, old madam should not be looking for Jiang Li to criticize her. Jiang Li also had not done any mistakes.
