The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 224 Don't Worry

Xue Huaiyuan only asked Ji Heng to go in, but didn't ask Jiang Li or Xue Zhaoqi to go in. Jiang Li was a little worried, not knowing what they would say inside.

Her anxious look was seen by Xue Zhao. Xue Zhao pushed the wheelchair to Jiang Li's side and motioned Jiang Li to come over to listen. Jiang Li leaned over, and Xue Zhao whispered in her ear: "Dad has a lot to say to his son-in-law. He knows your identity, so Dad doesn't have to be afraid of anything. Sister, don't worry, Dad won't eat brother-in-law."

He called "brother-in-law" very naturally. If you don't know, you might think they are close brothers-in-law who have been together for many years. Jiang Li thought to herself that she was not worried about what Xue Huaiyuan would do. Her father was always gentle to others. She was worried that Ji Heng's temper would irritate her father.

But on second thought, when Ji Heng met Xue Huaiyuan today, he was so gentle and polite that even General Ji was surprised. It can be seen that he is good at pretending to be nice. Now no matter how much she thinks here, it is a waste of effort, so Jiang Li stopped thinking about it.

Turning her head, she saw Situ Jiuyue staring at her and Xue Zhao, with a thoughtful look. Jiang Li's heart was shocked. She and Xue Zhao were too close at the moment. Situ Jiuyue didn't know that Xue Zhao and Jiang Li were siblings, so she would inevitably think too much.

She stood up straight, probably because she had seen through Situ Jiuyue's thoughts, and was particularly tolerant. She said to Situ Jiuyue: "Miss Jiuyue, you came here today not to see A Zhao's wound to make new poisons, why don't you go to A Zhao first."

Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li in confusion, not understanding why Jiang Li suddenly mentioned this. However, he would not refuse Situ Jiuyue's kindness, so he smiled and said: "Really? Doctor Situ, my wounds are much better now. If it can be useful for you to make poison, it would be great."

Situ Jiuyue moved her lips, and finally said: "Come in with me." Although her face was still cold, but her tone was much gentler.

Jiang Li was about to say a few words to General Ji, when she saw that General Ji and Ye Mingyu were talking heatedly not far away. They should be discussing swordsmanship. General Ji's face was red and his neck was thick, and his voice was loud.

Lin Yao sat cross-legged on a stone bench. There were plates full of snacks and scented tea on the stone table. He was eating happily, with cake crumbs at the corners of his mouth. Jiang Li laughed as she watched. 

She took out her handkerchief to wipe Lin Yao's mouth, saying, "Eat slowly, Xiaoyao. Didn't the Duke's Mansion prepare these for you? Why are you eating so fast?"

Wen Renyao also picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, sighing, "Not to mention the little apprentice, even I, his master, have never eaten such delicious cakes in the Duke's Mansion."

Jiang Li asked curiously, "Why? The Ye family is not short of money and can afford to hire a cook, but the Duke's Mansion is not poor either. How could they be so harsh on them in terms of food?"

"Second Miss Jiang, do you really think Ji Heng would be so considerate as to make such sweets that children and girls like for everyone? The chefs in the Duke's Mansion cook according to the tastes of Ah Heng and the old general. These things are not usually made. If you want to eat, you have to buy them on the street. Of course, if Ah Heng cooks one day, you can eat it. But Ah Heng rarely cooks, maybe only a few times in ten years."

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said was funny.

Wen Renyao thought Jiang Li didn't believe him, and hurriedly said, "What I said is absolutely true. Even if you and Ah Heng are engaged now, I have to call you sister-in-law in the future, and I still have to say bad things about Ah Heng." As he spoke, he muttered again, "Speaking of which, how come Ah Heng is engaged to the girl? I thought he would never get married in his life."
