Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 129 Possessed

"But you are beyond my expectation. After going around in circles for so long, you finally found out Xue Fang Fei's feelings."

Just one sentence made Jiang Li raise her head and look at Ji Heng. After a moment, she smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Duke? What does this have to do with Xue Fang Fei?"

"Oh?" Ji Heng smiled, "You are in a hurry to vindicate Xue Huaiyuan, so you mentioned Xue Fang Fei's name in the court. Princess Yongning will not be happy if you do this."
 
He is so smart that she can’t hide anything from his eyes, but Jiang Li never thought that even so, he still thought of Xue Fang Fei's relationship in the Xue family case. And, so fast.

"Why do you want to vindicate Xue Fang Fei?" 

Jiang Li said calmly, "She is not unfaithful to her husband, but she has an affair with someone. Zhongshu Shenlang Shen Yurong was nostalgic for the old relationship and could not divorce her. Who knew that God would open his eyes and take her away soon, which is also her own fault." 
 
"Why should such a person be vindicated?" She talked about herself without changing her face. If it were an ordinary person, she would never have thought that she could say this about herself.

Ji Heng laughed, and suddenly leaned forward, looking at Jiang Li's expression meaningfully, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Why should we vindicate her? Don't you know it best?"

Jiang Li was stunned and said, "I don't understand what the Duke is talking about."

"You are a person who has clear likes and dislikes." Ji Heng said indifferently: "Don't you realize that when you talk about Shen Yurong, you don't even call her Lord Shen. He has a grudge against you." 

Ji Heng played with his folding fan carelessly, "Princess Yongning also has a grudge against you."

He was stating the tone, not questioning. He had already known it and believed in his own judgment.

Jiang Li thought for a few times and said, "Duke..."

"You know their relationship." Ji Heng looked at her.

Jiang Li took a deep breath. She didn't know how much Ji Heng knew, but one thing was certain, Ji Heng knew much more than she thought. If she keeps pretending to be stupid, it will make this ally unhappy. 

It is better to be honest and keep the final secret. She may get some unexpected gains by telling everything, whether true or false.

"What do you mean, Duke? Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong are so close and have a deep love?" She said sarcastically, and Ji Heng laughed.

"Your tone sounds a bit bitter. Do you also admire Little Lord Shen?" Ji Heng said, "That's why you are jealous."

"Bitter? Duke is joking. I don't think Shen Yurong is worthy of admiration."

"That's strange?" Ji Heng stared at her with interest. "Little Lord Shen is handsome and gentle. There are countless noble ladies in Yanjing who like him. I see that you are also in your early years of love, but you don't like such a handsome man?"

He actually talked about such irrelevant things with Jiang Li at this time. Jiang Li sneered: "Shen Yurong is just a secretary in the end, and has no family support. To me, she is just one of the people who climbed up from the lowly and rough people by any means. I am also a daughter of the Jiang family. In terms of being well-matched, Shen Yurong is not qualified."

This is the most sarcastic remark. Jiang Li herself did not expect that one day she would hear such harsh words from her mouth. If the Shen family were here, they would be furious. But she just wanted to say that Princess Yongning said that she was of low status and was not worthy of Shen Yurong, who had already risen to prominence.
