Jiang Li came to Wanfeng Hall, and sure enough, Yin Zhili was here again. This time, Yin Zhiqing was also there. The gift they gave to Jiang Li was in a box, and Jiang Li asked Tong'er to put it away carefully. Old Lady Jiang was very happy and asked Yin Zhili some questions about Yin Zhan. You know, Yin Zhan is now popular in Yanjing.

Yin Zhan seemed to have some disagreements with the Right Prime Minister. Now the Right Prime Minister has become a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump a few times (TL: helpless, can’t do anything). With Yin Zhan in charge, the Jiang family doesn't have to worry about anything.

The Jiang family hoped that Jiang Li could spend more time with Yin Zhili, so they let Jiang Li accompany the brother and sister to walk in the yard. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou stayed in Wanfeng Hall to take care of Jiang Bingji.

Knowing that it was the arrangement of the Jiang family, Jiang Li did not refute it. She always accepted it with a meek face. Yin Zhili walked in front, and Yin Zhiqing and Jiang Li fell behind.

The courtyard was not very hot in the morning, and it was still cool under the shade of the tree. The summer breeze blew, and the green grass was rolling, which made people feel peaceful. Yin Zhiqing was walking, and suddenly pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and whispered: "Miss Jiang Er, have you ever been to the Duke's Mansion?"

Jiang Li was surprised and looked at Yin Zhiqing.

Yin Zhiqing was also wearing a bright red gauze long skirt today. Such a dress would be frivolous if not worn well, but when she wore it, it just set off her brightness. Looking at Jiang Li, Yin Zhiqing said: "I have seen Duke Su in the palace before."

Jiang Li couldn't help but stop when she heard this.

"The Duke of Su should have just come out of the palace. We met him in the Imperial Garden. I thought we had met once, so I took the initiative to greet him. He also greeted me back. I wanted to say a few more words to him, but he seemed very busy and left quickly."

"So…." Jiang Li's heart was a little subtle.

"I heard that the Duke's Mansion collected all kinds of rare flowers in the world and it was the best place in Yanjing City. Unfortunately, I have never seen it. Since Miss Jiang Er knows Duke Su, has she ever been to the Duke's Mansion?" She stared at Jiang Li with a smile, but there was a little imperceptible temptation in her tone.

Jiang Li noticed it immediately, probably because she was particularly sensitive about Ji Heng's affairs, or maybe Jiang Li was wary of the Yin family. She shook her head almost without hesitation and said, "No, I haven't been to the Duke's Mansion, and I don't know what the situation is inside."

"You haven't been to the Duke's Mansion either." Yin Zhiqing's tone was a little disappointed, but her expression was clearly relaxed.

"The county lady seems to be very interested in the Duke of Suguo?" Jiang Li asked back.

"I guess so. I have heard many rumours about him in Yanjing City, but I have not met him many times. I always feel that this person is very mysterious." Yin Zhiqing smiled and said, "But I think there will be opportunities to meet in the future, so there is no need to rush."

What she said was very straightforward. Maybe the women in Yunzhong are used to being like this. But Jiang Li felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it.

"Hey, we are all far behind brother, let's go first." Yin Zhiqing pulled Jiang Li to Yin Zhili's side. Yin Zhili had already found that they were behind him, stood under the grape vines waiting for them. 

Yin Zhiqing pushed Jiang Li in front of Yin Zhili and said with a smile: "I suddenly feel a little thirsty. Brother, Miss Jiang Er, you two can talk here. I will take the maids to the teahouse to drink some tea to quench my thirst. Beiyan is much hotter than Yunzhong in summer."
