"Follow the authority when things are urgent," Jiang Li smiled insincerely and said: "I'm really sorry for being rude to the duke."

She's a woman, but said "being rude" to a man, if it circulated in Yanjing, afraid would be laughed at by others.

"No matter." Ji Heng said, his sight fell on the ground. He suddenly bent down and picked something up.

Jiang Li saw and it was actually the jade pendant that she had redeemed before. The one that Xue Huai Yuan personally carved when she was born.

She was shocked and hurriedly touched her neck only to find the rope hanging around her neck was broken. Perhaps it broke in the struggle during the confusion before.

Jiang Li said: "That's my jade pendant."

Ji Heng stroked the jade pendant in his palm, his eyes stayed on the vivid racoon pattern. Jiang Li was anxious and without caring about anything else, she reached her hand out to grab it. It didn't go as she hoped, Ji Heng slightly leaned back, looked up, and raised his hand holding the pendant higher.

Jiang Li couldn't reach it and said: "Duke, that is my jade pendant, please return it to me."

"I heard Miss Jiang second only has a single character as a name." He laughed.

Jiang Li was annoyed, the entire Yanjing knew that her name was Jiang Li. Ji Heng said this, clearly on purpose.

The people of the Ye family called you Ah Li, I don't know which "Li" it is. Pear blossom's Li or raccoon's Li?" He lowered his head, the smile at the corner of his lips deepened while his eyes contained a faint cold anticipation and emotion, making people confused.

Jiang Li felt her blood freeze in a flash.

She forced herself to smile and said: "Of course it's the Li from pear blossom."

"Is it?" Ji Heng stared at her without blinking as he spoke in a particularly soft tone, "I feel that it's the Li from raccoon."

Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at him.

The man was indescribably beautiful, the bright tear shaped red moles under his eyes became brighter at this moment, turning his facial features sharper and more amorous.

Jiang Li said: "Why did you say so?"

Ji Heng didn't speak for a while. Then he laughed and said: "Because you are not as lovely as a pear blossom, more like a raccoon. Isn't it, Ah li?"

That words "Ah Li" was fragrant as it came out of his lips, but Jiang Li felt her body broke out in shivers,

It's impossible for Ji Heng to know her past experience, but he must have noticed something amiss. He's probing, who wavered would be the losing party.

Jiang Li raised her head and exposed a smile without any trace of weakness. She said: "Duke could call whatever you like to call. Anyway it's just a name. It's just that when others hear, they might inevitably misunderstand our relationship."

Ji Heng smiled: "The words spoken by second miss always make people feel deeply hurt and unexpected."

Jiang Li looked at him and heard him continue: "But the more surprising thing is not this, for instance Miss Jiang second could find out about Tong Zhi Yang's outer room. This has really surprised me."

Jiang Li sighed in her heart.

Tong Zhi Yang's outer room mother and son being taken away by Ye Ming Yu, Tong Zhi Yang could not find their whereabouts while Jiang Li knew. This matter certainly couldn't be concealed from Ji Heng. People who even had the guts to assassinate people in the palace, how could they not plant people in Xiangyang.
