The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 229 Ambush

"Because he is Ji Heng's enemy, they are doomed to fight to the death."

The air in the room seemed to freeze, and the candle in the lantern was swaying, as if it would fall down in the next moment, burning out with the lantern.

Jiang Li reached out to support the lantern, and Yin Zhiqing seemed to have just reacted. 

She said, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Our Yin family has lived in Yunzhong for many years. Why would we have a grudge against Duke Su? Yin Zhili was wrong to kidnap you, but it is not a reason for you to slander the Yin family casually!"

"What other reasons do you need?" Jiang Li said lightly, "The Yin family left Yanjing, which is the reason. The Yin family did not hurt Ji Heng, but did they not hurt Ji Heng's family? I'm afraid not."

Yin Zhiqing was shaking with anger. The calmer Jiang Li was, the more unreasonable she seemed. She wanted to defend the Yin family, but she didn't know where to start. The more she looked at Jiang Li, the more it irritated her. 

For some reason, she blurted out, "Even if you are telling the truth, you think too highly of yourself! You said that you alone can be used as a handle to threaten Duke Su. How is that possible? Everyone knows that Duke Su is heartless and loves to stand by and watch." 
 
"You are just the wife given to him by the emperor, a bargaining chip for the high-ranking officials! How could he be in danger for a bargaining chip? So, you don't have to be self-indulgent. You can rest assured that he will not be manipulated by others for you, nor will he do anything for you. Worry about your life!"

"Really?" Jiang Li smiled instead, her tone was almost gentle, and she only said: "Pingyang County Lady, just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the world. What you can't get doesn't mean that others can't get it. Ji Heng asked the emperor for a marriage, even if it was a bargaining chip, I have value, you are not as good as me, otherwise he would ask His Majesty to marry you."

"You..." Yin Zhiqing was stunned, and Jiang Li's words exploded in her mind. Her hidden thoughts were said by another winner in such a tone. She couldn't stay here anymore, and she broke the door and ran out. She didn't care whether Jiang Li touched the food basket.

The moment she broke the door, Jiang Li also saw clearly that there were soldiers guarding the four sides of the house, yes, soldiers in armor.

Jiang Li sat down on the chair again and realized that the situation was worse than she thought. If this matter was led by Yin Zhili, it would be easy to say. After meeting Yin Zhili several times, regardless of his scheming, this person is a little indecisive and soft-hearted, Jiang Li can still find a chance. 

But it seems that Yin Zhili just accepted this matter, and it was undoubtedly Yin Zhan who arranged this matter. Only Yin Zhan would not hesitate to cut off Haitang's little finger to threaten Jiang Li, and the words were cruel.

Yin Zhan arranged everything, and Yin Zhili just did things according to Yin Zhan's arrangement. So, Yin Zhiqing knew nothing about it. Jiang Li was anxious that she could not see Yin Zhili, so she could not get the news of Situ Jiuyue, Ye Mingyu and others.

But one thing is certain, since it was Yin Zhan's arrangement, that is, Yin Zhili's road is Yin Zhan's retreat. If Yin Zhan is now fighting with Ji Heng, he must be not far from here. So, that once the result happens, Yin Zhan can order Yin Zhili to prepare a second plan, which is to threaten Ji Heng with her.

Jiang Li couldn't help but clench her fists.

She knew Ji Heng was nearby, but she didn't know where Ji Heng was and what was going on. But she couldn't do anything. The only thing she could hope for was that Yin Zhili would follow the agreement and let Ye Mingyu and the others go.
