Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 146 Surprise

Zhao Ke came very quickly.

Perhaps he did not expect Jiang Li to blow the whistle before midnight. He should still be doing something else, with snowflakes and slag from outside on his body. Standing in front of the window, he said, "Second Miss."

"Zhao Ke, there is something I want to ask you to do." Jiang Li looked at him.

Zhao Ke was stunned. Jiang Li always acted as if it was natural and justified when she ordered him. Zhao Ke was also reluctant at the beginning, but later he became numb. The Lord gave orders for him to just obey, what else could he say?

But today, the second Miss Jiang's tone was almost earnest. Her expression was not as natural as before, but rather a bit anxious and pleading.

Although the people from the Duke's Mansion were hard-hearted, Zhao Ke still sighed when he saw Jiang Li's eyes. No wonder the Lord, who was so cold and heartless, would indulge Miss Jiang Er repeatedly. When this lady showed a pleading look, it would give people the illusion that as long as they refused her, it would be an unforgivable sin.

"The Lord has ordered that the subordinates just do what Miss Er asks." Zhao Ke answered stiffly. No matter what he thought in his heart, he couldn't show it.

"My maid Bai Xue's hometown is Zaohua Village. Can you go... or can you find some people to go to Zaohua Village to pick up a girl named Haitang back to Yanjing City for me?"

Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li in confusion. Where is Zaohua Village? He had never been to such a strange place to perform tasks, and Jiang Li's request was even more incredible. Go pick up a girl? 

He is not a coachman! Now Miss Jiang Er even lets him be a coachman? But the monthly salary of the Duke's Mansion has not increased!

"This matter... I will ask the adults." Zhao Ke said.

Jiang Li understood. She knew that Zhao Ke would definitely tell Ji Heng about this matter. In fact, everything she asked Zhao Ke to do would eventually reach Ji Heng's ears. 

After all, Ji Heng was Zhao Ke's master. But this time, once Haitang's matter was known to Ji Heng, with that man's wisdom, he might not fail to find some clues.

At least she and the Xue family were not completely unrelated on the surface. Perhaps Ji Heng had known about the deep connection a long time ago.

Too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry. At this time, Jiang Li instead had the courage to break the jar and said, "Whatever you want."

Zhao Ke was surprised again. Since Miss Jiang Er didn't let others do it, but let the people of the Duke's Mansion do it, it must be a very confidential matter. But she was not afraid of being known by Ji Heng. 

Could it be that the master and Miss Jiang Er have become so familiar with each other? Wait, could it be that Miss Jiang Er has also become the master's subordinate? There is no need to hide anything between subordinates and masters.

Jiang Li didn't know that the guard in front of her had so many tricks in mind. She only said: "No matter how you tell your master, but once your master agrees, please take her back in the shortest possible time. On the way, you may encounter enemies chasing and killing you. Maybe the enemy's formation is not small. Please be careful and protect Haitang's safety."

She said it solemnly. Zhao Ke, who didn't take it seriously at first, also felt Jiang Li's nervousness. He realized that this matter was probably very important to Jiang Li, and he didn't dare to underestimate it at the moment, so he said: "I know, I will report to the master tonight and report to Miss Jiang Er tomorrow."
