Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 108: Tyranny

The woman dressed in blue was the neighbor, Aunt Chun Fang. She had watched her and Xue Zhao growing up. It had been many years since they last met and Jiang Li couldn't help moving a few steps forward towards Aunt Chun Fang.

Ye Ming Yu called out from behind in a low voice, "Hey, Ah Li, what are you doing?"

Jiang Li stopped in front of Aunt Chun Fang.

Chun Fang looked at Jiang Li, somewhat hesitant as she clenched her hands. With one glance, she could tell that these people were not people from Tongxiang. She could also see that the young lady in front of her came from a rich family. There's nothing to nitpick from her appearance, her smile was also gentle. In Tongxiang, how could they produce such a noble woman. No, there once was, Fang Fei from the Xue family was a publicly known gorgeous woman in Tongxiang. Unfortunately she got married and moved to Yanjing. However, it's lucky that she went to marry in Yanjing, otherwise, if she was in Tongxiang, she would now be also implicated.....

Chun Fang was immersed in her wild imagination when the young lady in front of her spoke warmly, "Aunt, may I ask, this sealed house, is it the deputy county, Xue Huai Yuan's house?"

Chun Fang jumped in fright, sized Jiang Li up and down before speaking, "Correct, do you know the people of the Xue family?"

"No." Jiang Li shook her head, "Just curious. May I ask, why is this deputy county Xie's house sealed?"

Chun Fang was stunned before promptly shaking her head, No..... I don't know....."

"He is a local official, your deputy county, out of the blue, an official's home was sealed, so there's always a cause for it. How could aunt not know?"

Perhaps Jiang Li's gaze was too cold, or perhaps her tone was pressing, that Chun Fang unconsciously took a step back. She was somewhat incoherent as she said, "No, don't know means don't know..... You go and ask other people."

Jiang Li said, "Aunt doesn't know or is not willing to say?"

Chun Fang lifted her head to look at Jiang Li. She summoned her courage to ask, "In what capacity are you asking about Master Xue's affairs? Who are you?"

With Jiang Li demanding information like so, nobody would believe that she was merely asking out of curiosity. But Chun Fang avoiding and refusing to speak like that was actually making it more conspicuous. Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's not important who I am, the more important thing is that I want to ask about the Xue family, whether aunt is willing to say or not."

Jiang Li knew Chun Fang, being neighbors for so many years, she was someone who's passionate and kind hearted. Jiang Li believed if she wasn't so scared, Chun Fang would absolutely not look on unfeelingly while her father was sent to prison. The common people of Tongxiang were the same, but she didn't know what kind of threat made these people not dare to stand up.

Right at this time, the door of Chun Fang's house once again opened with a creak. Chun Fang's husband's voice floated out from a distance, "Ah Fang, you haven't left? What are you doing?"

"I'm going to sell embroidery." Chun Fang at once pushed Jiang Li away, as if finding an excuse, then hurriedly rushed to escape. But after walking halfway, she hesitated for a while, turned her head around and said, "Miss, seeing that you just came, I'll remind you a bit. In front of outsiders, you must not mention the Xue family, that will save you from troubles. You..... don't act too ostentatiously." After speaking, she carried her backet, without sparing a single glance at Jiang Li, as if there's something scary about her, and quickly disappeared.
