The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 196 Night Raid

The day passed like this.

Jiang Li stayed in this house, Zhao Ke and Wen Ji naturally had nothing to say to her. Lu Ji and Ji Heng were not there, Wen Renyao was a chatterbox, but asking Jiang Li about the conversation made it difficult for Jiang Li to answer, so she had to pretend not to know.

Jiang Li had never been to Huangzhou in her previous life, she only knew that it produced a kind of wine that was very famous. Although Ji Heng did not say it, Jiang Li also knew that this city was full of crises and was not as peaceful as it seemed. 

King Cheng might have made some arrangements as his reserve arrangements. Once he started the rebellion, Huangzhou would inevitably be implicated.

It was unknown when King Cheng would start the rebellion, but Jiang Li thought that it would not take too long. Therefore, when Ji Heng was away, Jiang Li did not suggest taking a walk on the street, not only because her strength had not recovered yet, but also because she did not know when she would run into hidden danger. 

She thinks Wen Renyao also understands this, otherwise he would not stay in the house all day without going out, as he loves to join in the fun.

From day to night, Zhao Ke went out to buy wine and food near this house. Jiang Li had nothing to do, but fortunately there was a study room in this house, and Jiang Li found some books in the study. 

Although they were some boring books, they were better than nothing.

Reading a book and daydreaming, it was night in a blink of an eye.

When the lights outside came on, Ji Heng and Lu Ji still hadn't come back. The maid came over and asked, "Miss, are you going to rest?"

Jiang Li looked at the sky, the stars were hidden in the clouds, and the nearby streets outside seemed to still hear the singing and dancing of the singing girls in the restaurant, but the sound was not as loud as at the beginning - late at night, everything was quiet. 

Everyone slept, rested, and the whole Huangzhou fell into tranquillity.

"I don't want to rest yet, you go out first." Jiang Li shook her head: "I'll go to bed when I'm tired."

The maid then left.

It's strange to say, at this time of year, Jiang Li would be more or less sleepy, but today she was surprisingly energetic. She didn't know if it was because of the "soft muscle powder" or something else, or if it was simply because Ji Heng was not there and she always felt uneasy. 

In short, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Fortunately, by this time, twelve hours had passed since she took the muscle softening powder yesterday, and she was completely awake and no longer as weak as before.

Jiang Li couldn't sleep, so she had to walk around the room. The room was probably where ordinary people in Huangzhou lived, and this room should also be where girls slept. The red curtains and soft beds were very fragrant and soft. 

Jiang Li sat down in front of the dressing mirror. Under the dim light, there were still spots on her face. Although the red had faded a little, it was really too little.

In front of the mirror was a palm-sized red basket, which contained a roll of thin thread and a pair of scissors. The scissors should be used by girls when doing needlework, and they were very small. Ji Heng probably bought this house very quickly, and the family moved out very quickly, so they didn't have time to take the scissors away.

Jiang Li weighed the scissors, which were not very heavy and easy to use, so she put them into her sleeves.

All her sharpened hairpins and the dagger given by Jiang Jingrui were cleaned up by King Cheng's men when she was abducted. Because it was the woman who did it, she searched her body very carefully and left nothing useful.
