Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 88 Part 3:

In the upstairs of Wang Xian Lou, Kong Liu was in the middle of staring entranced at the crowd coming and going downstair. Actually, he was not very fond of looking at these flowers or lanterns, the gleaming eyes of the people wandering. But compared with staying in the ducal residence and boringly looking at court affairs, naturally the bustling noise was a bit better. Besides, within the hustle, there were still a lot of young women who warmed the heart and delighted the eyes, able to add radiance to the dreary night.

“Hey, it’s Jiang second miss!” Kong Liu stood up, excitedly said to Ji Heng: “Quickly come and see, it’s Jiang second miss. Didn’t expect her to come out tonight to watch the lanterns too. Something’s wrong, why is she by herself? There’s not a single member of the Jiang family by her side. Did she sneak out?”

Lu Ji, who was sipping his tea, followed his sight and glanced down. He said: “Who sneaked out and still brought their servants. There are so many people outside, she probably got separated from her family.”

“Lost?” Kong Liu frowned: “There are so many people outside, a lot of evildoers. Every year, there are females abducted by evildoers. Such a little girl, delicate as a flower, will inevitably attract people. It’s not good if she met with a mishap.”

“Then what are you planning to do?” Lu Ji inquisitively looked at him.

“I’ll send her to look for her family!” Kong Liu spoke righteously.

“Kong Liu,” Lu Ji said: “don’t have wishful thinking. Don’t mention that she’s the daughter of the chief assistant, even a common family’s daughter could see that you are old like this.”

“I’m old?” Kong Liu immediately flew into a rage, “I’m at the best age, what do you know? What’s wrong with my age? You are old, your d*mn beard is so long!”

However, Lu Ji wasn’t angry in the slightest. He reached out and pointed his finger outside while beaming for Kong Liu to see: “Didn’t I say already, how can you compare to a youngster. You see, this Jiang second miss, wasn’t she looking for young master Ye?”

As soon as these words came out, not just Kong Liu, even Ji Heng who was sitting at the side and playing with his fan couldn’t help shooting a quick look downstairs.

Sure enough, among the drifting crowd, Jiang Li and the two servant girls by her side were in the middle of crossing the street. Due to the high number of people, it was very difficult to cross that nearby street. However, the rare thing was that her directional movement was superb, all the way advancing in one direction, not scattered by the stream of people walking in succession.

And her goal in moving forward was undoubtedly the handsome and out of the ordinary youth, Ye Shijie.

She was walking towards Ye Shijie.

Lu Ji said with a smile: “The relationship between these cousins is excellent.”

“Nonsense, they are relatives.” At this time, Kong Liu forgot the matter of Lu Ji mocking his age and focused on looking at Jiang Li and Ye Shijie, these two people.

Ji Heng was also standing in front of the window, pensively looking for a while. He abruptly closed his fan and said: “Wen Ji.”

A black clothed imperial bodyguard quietly appeared before his eyes.

“Invite Jiang second miss up.”

Both Lu Ji and Kong Liu didn’t expect Ji Heng to suddenly issue such an order and simultaneously looked at him, astonishment apparent in their eyes.

“Just say that I’m inviting Jiang second miss to watch Jin Man Tang together, arranging the front position for her.”

Kong Liu’s chin almost dropped to the floor.

......

The crowd was so congested.

Yanjing was much bigger than Tongxiang, there were also many more people. The most lively time in Tongxiang was also not half as Yanjing at present. It’s hard to imagine how the usual narrow streets became so challenging to pass through today.

They finally reached the opposite street.

Just when Jiang Li secretly relaxed her breath and going to take her two servant girls to walk towards Ye Shijie, a person in black suddenly blocked them.

Tong’er was so scared she almost screamed. Bai Xue also raised her fists. However, that person in black seemed to have no expression on his face and said a sentence: “Jiang second miss, the duke invites you to watch Jin Man Tang’s singing together and have arranged the front seats in Wang Xian Lou.”

“Duke?” Jiang Li said: “Ji Heng?”

Wen Ji was a bit flabbergasted, to his surprise, Jiang second miss directly called master’s name without changing her face. He nodded.

Jiang Li frowned, in a low voice Tong’er said: “Miss, this person suddenly showed up, what duke, perhaps deceiving.....”

“Not deceiving,” Jiang Li answered, “he’s a person from Duke Su.”

This time, Wen Ji was even more astonished. He was certain that Jiang Li had never seen him before, yet how did Jiang Li speak with so much certainty. A moment later, he heard Jiang Li’s indifferent voice: “Duke Su loves beauty and hates ugliness. This dark guard is so beautiful, he is undoubtedly Duke Su’s person.”

Obviously, Wen Ji was standing steadily. After clearly hearing Jiang Li’s words, he nearly stumbled in an instant.

On the contrary, it was Tong’er, who at this moment, seriously lifted her head to look Wen Ji up and down. After seeing Wen Ji’s face clearly, she couldn’t help sucking in the cold air and said: “Truly! Miss, he’s much better looking than the guards at our house! Almost as good looking as the second young master!”

Wen Ji: “.......”

Bai Xue pulled Jiang Li’s sleeve and whispered: “Then, miss, do we still go?”

Jiang Li looked at Wen Ji but couldn’t make out anything. She pondered for a while before letting out a sigh in the end. She said: “Let’s go.”

Tong’er was still a little bit afraid but Jiang Li was helpless. She knew, even if she said she didn’t want to go, refusing Duke Su, Ji Heng would still find other ways to make her go. The reason why this courtesy was nothing but him wanting to appear to be a bit courteous. However, in this person’s bone flowed the blood of arbitrarily taking actions.

Nobody could refuse him, because he had his own methods.

A wise man submitted to circumstances, Jiang Li had no other alternative but to say: “Let’s go.”

She walked together with Tong’er and Bai Xue, following Wen Ji to Wang Xian Lou.
