Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 132 Part 1: The Truth

In the Jiang residence, Jiang Li stared at Zhao Ke without moving her attention.

Initially, Zhao Ke did not say anything, in the end, he was defeated and said, “When this subordinate entered the Jiang residence, the eldest lady had passed away. Master asked the subordinate to keep watch in the Jiang residence and this subordinate also inquired about things that could be asked. However, the conflicts in the back house were not something that this subordinate inquired about, so this subordinate only had a rough idea.”

“Speak.” Jiang Li said.

“Although this subordinate did not personally see the death of the eldest miss, the Jiang family’s main branch kept this matter a secret. After that, the birth mother of the eldest miss, Aunt Hu, moved to the side courtyard and several times, her life was almost in danger.”

Jiang Li’s eyes hardened, “Why do you say this?”

“Those were all unexpected accidents, but Aunt Hu’s fortune was pretty good, every time she managed to get away by luck. Afterwards, old madam Jiang saw how pitiful she was and often helped. Moreover, Aunt Hu fell sick from time to time and there were no longer any traces of this person in the residence.”

Jiang Li pondered and asked, “Zhao Ke, just tell me whether the eldest daughter’s death had anything to do with Ji Shuran.”

Zhao Ke obviously was not accustomed to talk about these kinds of things with people. He hesitated for a while before saying, “Nine out of ten.”

“Sure enough…..” Jiang Li muttered. She looked at Zhao Ke and asked incisively, “Then how much do you know about my affair?”

Zhao Ke, “What?”

“At that time, my reputation of harming my mother and murdering my brother was spread throughout Yanjing. As far as the Jiang family was concerned, it was a big matter. Since you came to the Jiang residence to gather intelligence, it’s impossible to overlook this point. So how much do you know about this matter? For instance, why did I want Ji Shuran to miscarry? Wasn’t my relationship with Ji Shuran pretty good before? I was young yet unexpectedly had the skill to do these, could there be something hidden inside?”

The happenings of that year happened too long ago, Tong’er simply did not know. As for Bai Xue, she only came in later. It was said that the servant girls and those middle-aged servants were driven away from the residence on the grounds that they were unable to look after her. She simply could not find those people in the know now. The trail left by the matter was no other than a reputation of being malicious. However, Jiang Li wasn’t the real Jiang second miss and had no memory of that matter. She basically had no idea what the truth was.

Zhao Ke said, “Second miss, although it was a major event in the Jiang family, when you went to Mount Qingcheng in that year, in the eyes of the people of Yanjing, you have undoubtedly been abandoned by the Jiang family. Master let this subordinate to hide in the Jiang family not to spend effort investigating the matter of an abandoned child.”

Jiang Li, “…….”

Ji Heng’s subordinates surprisingly had the same temperament as Ji Heng. What he said could be considered very impolite. Of course, there was nothing wrong with what he said. A noble daughter, who was banished to cultivate in a nunnery thousands of miles away. No matter how you look at it, this young lady, perhaps would be unable to return to Yanjing for the rest of her life. Really spending a lot of thought for a young lady who had been forgotten by everyone would be weird.

“Besides,” Zhao Ke continued, “why does second miss ask this subordinate about this? Wouldn’t second miss be the clearest about the truth of the matter?”

He actually counterattacked. Perhaps, Ji Heng’s subordinate was also like him, with sharp insight, and was able to grasp the important points. Jiang Li smiled, “What I saw in that year was one-sided. Ji Shuran concealed herself and I could only see a part of her which may not be the real her. Maybe the truth behind it is something even deeper, isn’t it?”

Zhao Ke said, “Yes.”

“Zhao Ke, you really don’t know anything about Ji Shuran’s miscarriage back then?”

Zhao Ke replied, “Subordinate is not aware.”

Jiang Li observed his expression and was certain that he really did not lie. Her mind cleared up, she pondered and said, “Okay, you don’t have to bring up Ji Shuran. The next few days, I need you to do three things on my behalf. The first one, help me find out as much as possible the cause of Jiang eldest miss’s early death in that year. If the inquiries were insufficient, let me know as many trifle things about the eldest miss. The second thing, in recent days, is to take note of whether there is a master roaming on the street. I think Taoist priest Chong Xu should have arrived. The third matter,” She paused, “I need an expert in ventriloquism. There are many capable people in your duke residence, I think you should also know quite a few people like this.”

After saying these three things, Zhao Ke’s face became very unsightly. He surprisingly didn’t ask Jiang Li why she wanted him to do these three things, but just said unwillingly: “Miss Jiang Second, you are this subordinate’s master. ”

“I’m not your master, but your master lent you to me, so I can assign things to you.” Jiang Li smiled, “Otherwise, you go back and protest with your family, or else, leave the Jiang family and change to another person?” ”

Zhao Ke felt extremely depressed. He was one of the best people from the duke mansion. In terms of kung fu, disguise, intelligence, any one of these, when taken out, made people praise. Thus he was given the dangerous task of hiding in the Jiang residence. As a result, nowadays second miss Jiang was using him. Not only was she not polite in the slightest, she was still so offhanded about it. Those who did not know would think he was her servant boy and she was his proper master.

Using a talented person for an insignificant matter, killing chicken with an ox knife, truly preposterous!

However, he still did not dare to speak to Ji Heng and asked to swap the person.

Leave it, just this time. Moreover, when Master knew that he was being ordered around like this, he would definitely remind this second miss not to go overboard and would also sympathize with him. Zhao Ke had no choice but to say, “Okay, if there’s nothing else, this subordinate will withdraw.”

Jiang Li called him and asked, “According to your words, are you going to tell your Master word for word?”

“Miss Jiang second,” Zhao Ke said solemnly, “The Lord is this subordinate’s master.”

“Okay.” Jiang Li said, “then you can add another sentence in passing. The things that you can’t find out about, if your master can find out about it, don’t know if he can help instead?”

Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li, dumbstruck. This person actually went so far as to want a mile after being given an inch. She not only dared to command him, she even dared to put forward this kind of request to his master?!
