Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 140 Order

He said it lightly, and he could control people's lives in his hand while talking and laughing. Jiang Li suddenly had an absurd feeling. 

Is Ji Heng like Princess Yongning? Just because she is in a high position, she takes it for granted that as long as it is in her way, she can throw it away without any effort.

But soon, she stopped her wild thoughts. Ji Heng had no grudges against Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and she said this for her own sake. If she continued to be picky, she would be really ungrateful.

Jiang Li was unwilling to be the kind of person who picked up the bowl to eat and put it down to curse.

She said, "Thank you for your kindness, Duke, but it will be difficult for Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to handle the matter of life and death. Now is not a time of trouble in Yanjing City. If there is another incident, it will only arouse suspicion."

She tactfully rejected Ji Heng's help.

Ji Heng did not comment, and said, "Then you should be more careful." After a pause, he reminded, "Your life is mine, don't let others take it by accident."

Jiang Li smiled, "Yes."

After talking to Ji Heng for a while, Jiang Li walked out of the house and went to see Xue Huaiyuan. Today was the first time that Situ Jiuyue gave Xue Huaiyuan acupuncture. 

Xue Huaiyuan was very scared. Jiang Li had to hold Xue Huaiyuan's shoulders and coax him softly, and Xue Huaiyuan gradually calmed down.

"He listens to you very much." Situ Jiuyue glanced at her, "This is rare."

"After I took Xue County Magistrate out of Tongxiang Prison, I took care of him for a long time. Although he lost his mind, he knew who was good to him. When I was around, he would feel more at ease."

"It's not just that simple." Situ Jiuyue inserted a silver needle into Xue Huaiyuan's acupoint and continued without raising her head: "This kind of insane person sees everyone the same. He will not be extremely good or extremely bad to people, but he obviously has a different attitude towards you. Ye Mingyu has been with him here for a long time, and he has no feelings for Ye Mingyu."

"Did you know each other before?" Situ Jiuyue asked.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and she denied it flatly: "No, I was in Yanjing City, and then went to Qingcheng Mountain. County Magistrate Xue has been in Tongxiang, and we have not met."

"That's strange." Situ Jiuyue seemed a little puzzled, "He did this to you, it must be that in his remaining memory habits, you are someone he is familiar with."

Jiang Li had to say: "I don't know why it is like this."

Situ Jiuyue glanced at her again: "I have heard about your story, you are really brave, no wonder Ji Heng looks at you differently."

Seeing that she called Ji Heng's name directly, Jiang Li was curious and asked: "Miss Jiuyue seems to be very familiar with the Duke?"

"I guess so." Situ Jiuyue said: "We both saved each other's lives."

Jiang Li was surprised, Ji Heng saved Situ Jiuyue's life, Jiang Li was not surprised. Remember that the turmoil in Molan was many years ago, and at that time, Situ Jiuyue should still be a little girl of five or six years old. Without the ability to protect himself, Mo Lanli is on the edge of the eastern line of Beiyan. 

Situ Jiuyue can come to Beiyan, and there must be someone from Beiyan to help. Jiang Li doesn't know whether this person is Ji Heng.

But Situ Jiuyue actually saved Ji Heng's life?
