The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 206 Returning to the Mansion

Ji Heng's carriage went directly to the Duke's Mansion. After arriving at the Duke's Mansion, Ji Heng, Lu Ji and Wen Renyao all got off the carriage. Lin Yao was also taken away by Wen Renyao. Wen Ji and Zhao Ke continued to drive. The carriage headed towards Jiang Mansion.

This made Jiang Li feel relieved, at least it was easier to deal with when facing Jiang Yuanbai.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Li got off the carriage. The concierge was a little confused at first, but when he saw Jiang Li's face clearly, he stuttered in surprise: "Second, Second Miss!"

Jiang Li smiled and nodded at him: "Yes, I'm back."

The news of Jiang Li's return immediately spread throughout Jiang Mansion. In Wanfeng Hall, Old Madam Jiang and the people from the second room arrived. As soon as Mrs. Lu saw Jiang Li, she took Jiang Li's hand and said, "Xiao Li, you're back. These days, your second aunt can't sleep well every night. I’m really worried!"

Her words were indeed exaggerated, but they were also sincere. Jiang Li smiled and patted her hand: "I'm fine, Second Aunt."

Jiang Jingrui asked: "I heard that you went to Huangzhou. How did you get to Huangzhou? Who rescued you? I asked my father and uncle, but they refused to tell me, Jiang Li, what happened?"

Jiang Li knew clearly that Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping did not tell anyone about this. However, Old Madam Jiang probably knew what was going on, because she was not as confused as Jiang Jingrui. She just asked: "There is a war in Huangzhou. Second girl, were you injured? Did the thieves hurt you?"

"No." Jiang Li said: "The city defenders in Huangzhou have been confronting King Cheng's soldiers and horses. Those soldiers and horses have not been able to enter the city, but they are very safe."

"But I heard," it was Jiang Jingyou who spoke this time, and he looked at Jiang Li, "that King Cheng's people burned and looted in Huangzhou City, and many people died."

This couldn't be hidden, Jiang Li said: "There is indeed such a person, but I am probably lucky, so I didn't encounter him and escaped safely."

"Are you being protected by someone?" Jiang Jingrui came closer and said, "So you are safe and sound. Who is that person? He can save you from the hands of the king. It shows that he is capable. Tell him. Name, uncle can also thank people for visiting. "

Jiang Li laughed in her heart. Jiang Yuanbai knew that Ji Heng had saved him. She was afraid that his first reaction would not be to be grateful, but to doubt Ji Heng's intentions. There has been little contact between the Duke's Mansion and the Jiang family. It can even be said that Ji Heng took Jiang Yuanbai's place and got closer to Emperor Hong Xiao. Jiang Yuanbai was afraid that Ji Heng was instigating something.

While he was talking, a voice suddenly sounded outside: "Ali."

Looking back, it was Jiang Yuanbai who had hurried back. She was in Wanfeng Hall just now, but he didn't show up. He should have been outside and came in a hurry after getting the news that Jiang Li had returned home. Jiang Li called "Father". He looked at Jiang Li, then looked around, and said, "Come to the study with me."

Old Madam Jiang nodded to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li followed Jiang Yuanbai to the study. As soon as he arrived at the study and closed the door, Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Li and said, "How are you? Are you injured?"

Jiang Li shook her head.

Jiang Yuanbai checked for a while, and seemed to see that Jiang Li did not have any signs of injury, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he asked: "What on earth is going on? How did those people take you out of Yanjing and bring you to Huangzhou? How did Duke Su know that you were kidnapped to Huangzhou and rescued you?"
