The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter Part 2

☆ Chapter 241 Finale (Part 2)

After the Jiang family moved out of Yanjing City, Jiang Li really moved into the Duke's Mansion.

Jiang Li's attitude was seen by many people in Yanjing City. In the past few months, Emperor Hong Xiao has dealt with the former ministers who had disloyalty in the court and replaced them with new nobles he trusted. The situation in the court has completely turned around, and the country of Northern Yan has opened up a new situation.

But even so, it was as Jiang Li had expected at first. Ji Heng's death in battle made some of Ji Heng's former enemies begin to stir. At this point, some people who were waiting to see if Ji Heng would come out halfway were completely relieved and began to deal with Ji Heng.

Jiang Li lived in the Duke's Mansion and had been guarding it. Some ministers reported to Emperor Hong Xiao to deprive the Ji family of their titles, just because if Jiang Li remarried in the future, the title would fall on someone else's head. Jiang Li went to the palace to ask for orders, saying that she would never marry. On the other hand, Xue Huaiyuan also pointed out Ye Shijie, asking him to work hard in the court to protect the Duke's Mansion.

In the past few months, there have been several storms, but in the end, everything was safe and sound. Later, those people saw that Jiang Li's attitude seemed very stubborn, and Ye Shijie was climbing higher and higher. The most important thing was that Emperor Hong Xiao's attitude was very clear, and it seemed that he did not intend to take back the title of the Duke's Mansion, so those people also stopped. 

More people were watching the fun. Jiang Li swore that she would never marry, but she was a young girl after all, and her life was long. Now she thought so, but in a few years, she might break her promise. If she couldn't swallow the bitter fruit she had brewed, she might cause a romantic affair and become the talk of the streets.

Jiang Li knew that those people were just watching the fun, but she didn't care. Even though she practiced whip techniques with Xue Zhao every day, she didn't have as much martial arts foundation as Xue Zhao, so she simply concentrated on learning to use various poisoned hidden weapons. Now in Yanjing City, it's not safe, danger will appear at any time, and now, there will be no Ji Heng. She has to find a way to protect others.

In Jiang Li's heart, there is another thought, she doesn't know how to get along with Xue Huaiyuan. She wants to go to Qimin in person after a few days. Now the mountain is closed due to heavy snow, and she can't go into the mountain. When spring comes, she can go into the mountain. No matter what, she will go in. 

Ji Heng has not been found dead yet, and everyone thinks that he was eaten by wild animals. It seems that the words in the prophecy have also come true, but Jiang Li always feels that he will not be so heartless. Even if he really can't come back, she has to go to confirm this in person, instead of waiting for news from others in Yanjing City.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, but also seemed to pass very quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

This year is still spent in Yanjing City. Before the New Year, Jiang Li had recognized Xue Huaiyuan as her adoptive father under the witness of Ye Mingyu and has been calling Xue Huaiyuan "Dad" since then. Ye Mingyu didn't think it was a big deal. 

In Ye Mingyu's opinion, Xue Huaiyuan was much better than Jiang Yuanbo. At least now, Xue Huaiyuan and Xue Zhao are with Jiang Li. And Ye Mingyu also likes Xue Zhao's free and easy loyalty very much. If it weren't for the difference in generation, he would have called Xue Zhao his sworn brother.

This year, Kong Liu and Lu Ji did not show up at the Duke's Mansion for the New Year. 

Since the Jinwu Army returned to the court, Lu Ji has also returned to his hometown. Wen Renyao, Lu Ji followed Ji Heng because Ji Heng had a favour for him. At that time, Lu Ji's family was hunted down by enemies and the whole family was wiped out. It was Ji Heng who took Lu Ji to find those enemies and killed them one by one in front of Lu Ji. From then on, Lu Ji decided to follow Ji Heng.
