The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 240 Finale (Part 1)

That day, Jiang Li didn't know how she got back to the Jiang Mansion. It seemed that everyone was persuading her to be at ease, and Ji Heng would definitely come back. Now it was just that she couldn't find her whereabouts for the time being, but for some reason, Jiang Li's heart couldn't settle down. Those words of comfort passed by her ears, but they couldn't comfort her at all.

The people of the Jiang family didn't know about Ji Heng yet, and didn't know what happened to Jiang Li, and they thought everything was normal. Tong'er and Baixue knew the inside story. When sending Jiang Li back, Wen Renyao specifically asked two maids to take good care of Jiang Li, talk to Jiang Li, and never let Jiang Li think about it alone.

Tong'er and Baixue served Jiang Li carefully. They thought Jiang Li would cry, be sad alone, and even get sick because of it, but after returning from Jiang's house, Jiang Li was actually strong. She did what she would do on weekdays as if nothing had happened. At least on the surface, she was no different from the past.

But the anxiety and worry in her heart became worse day by day.

One day passed, two days passed, ten days passed, and a month passed. The wait became more and more hopeless, and there was no news from Ji Heng. At first, Kong Liu would find ways to comfort Jiang Li, but later, every time Jiang Li went to the Duke's Mansion to ask for news, Kong Liu was a little afraid to look at Jiang Li. Jiang Li could see helplessness and sighs in Kong Liu's eyes.

Situ Jiuyue and the others initially believed that Ji Heng would definitely come back, but time went on and on, until it started snowing in Yanjing City in winter, with thick white snow covering the ground. When midwinter arrived and still no news came, Situ Jiuyue also fell silent.

Jiang Li had overheard a conversation between Situ Jiuyue and Kong Liu.

Situ Jiuyue said: "There is still no news about Ji Heng. What's going on? Is Lu Ji really looking for him?"

"Really. It's winter in Qimin. The mountains are covered with snow and wild animals are everywhere. Lu Ji has been searching everywhere in the mountains these days." His voice became low. "Miss Jiang Er was here before. I really couldn't tell you. The captives of the Yin family soldiers said that when the master escaped, he was seriously injured. Even if he could escape, he might not survive. It's already very difficult to find a person in such a big mountain. But if the master is still alive, he will definitely find a way to meet up with Lu Ji and others. The mountains in Qimin are deserted and he can't hide."

Situ Jiuyue said coldly: "What do you mean? Do you mean Ji Heng is in danger?"

"I don't want the master to get into trouble." Kong Liu Liu also sounded angry, "If I was in the mountain at that time, I would protect him even if it cost me my life! But now the facts are like this, I just tell you the most likely situation."

There was silence for a long time, and then Situ Jiuyue's voice came, "Life and death are determined by fate. People like you and me have long been accustomed to life and death. No matter how powerful Ji Heng is, he is just an ordinary person after all. But if he really can't come back, what about Jiang Li?"

"Second Miss Jiang?"

"Yes, she is wholeheartedly following Ji Heng. I think if Ji Heng really can't come back, she will keep waiting like this. We can't do anything to her. For her, for Ji Heng, this is the most tragic thing."

Jiang Li stood behind the bushes, listening to Situ Jiuyue's cruel words, and a trace of sadness rose in her heart. Even Situ Jiuyue thought that this was a tragedy. Was her encounter with Ji Heng destined to have a bad ending?

Is Ji Heng really not coming back? She was stunned thinking, this news came so vague, so unreal. What she recalled in her mind were all kinds of Ji Heng. Ji Heng who listened to the opera with a smile in the restaurant, Ji Heng who was sharp with her, Ji Heng who showed helplessness to her, gentle Ji Heng, and Ji Heng who first met on the other side of the wall in the spring breeze.
