Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 133 Part 4: Night Scout

“Ji Shuran personally instructed the person to be killed.” Ji Heng said it casually as if talking about daily life, but his words made Jiang Li’s blood run cold. He said, “Before the miscarriage, she dispatched people to kill him. Reportedly,” he had a mocking smile, “Liu Wen Cai had a beautiful dream of relying on Ji Shuran to once again enter Yanjing and lived the days of being a wealthy young master. Ji Shuran promised to give him silver and let him open a casino in the best district. On the second day, he was found dead in his room. He unexpectedly died from drinking.”

Jiang Li was speechless

A day being husband and wife, a hundred days of grace. After all, Liu Wen Cai and Ji Shuran had many years of affections. Even if Liu Wen Cai took someone else as his wife, many years later, when he returned to Yanjing, Ji Shuran was still involved with him. This showed that Ji Shuran was afraid that she still had feelings for him.

Still had lingering feelings, yet able to kill him without looking back?

Ji Heng seemed to be able to see her incomprehension and said, “Ji Shuran did not love him.”

“Not love?”

“Liu Wen Cai was down and out.” Ji Heng said indifferently, “He had nothing at all while Ji Shuran is the chief assistant’s wife. How could she still look at Liu Wen Cai? She was together with Liu Wen Cai to retaliate against that year when Liu Wen Cai abandoned her. From the beginning, she thought of discarding Liu Wen Cai, not just that, she still wanted the other person’s life. No wonder people in the world said,” he sighed, “the mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle tail behind the wasp are neither poisonous; the most poisonous is a woman’s heart.”

The tone as he sighed in his speech was full of the distinct casualness and ridicule of someone watching a play.

“At the beginning, I didn’t feel,” Jiang Li said, “I didn’t think that I was obstructing Ji Shuran’s way. Even if I did, there was no need to take my life. But from what you said, I understand. Ji Shuran is such a person, venomous from her bones. Even if I don’t provoke her, she will still get rid of me. Because she’s malicious.”

“Don’t tell me you just found out now?” Ji Heng said, “You fought with her, I thought you knew this from long ago.”

The corners of his mouth were raised in a smile, his lazy tone was mild as he spoke, as if he did not mind at all. However, Jiang Li knew that each word that Ji Heng said was worth pondering over. On the surface, he seemed to suffer a loss as he took the initiative to visit and calmly shared with her the secret information that he knew today. But in actuality, Ji Heng also got a lot of things on this trip.

Afraid he had already suspected that there was something wrong with her as Jiang second miss.

Jiang Li was not surprised, regardless of what Ji Heng guessed, she would never change what she set out to do.

Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, “No matter what, many thanks for telling me this.”

“Actually, I initially did not want to tell you these.” Ji Heng stared at her, continued speaking while looking as if he was pondering. “You seem both kindhearted and naive, and the truth is always cruel. But….. Ah Li,” When he called “Ah Li”, the usually ordinary two words seemed to contain boundless spring, full of emotion. He said, “If you want to survive, you have to walk a bit further, and you must see the facts clearly as early as possible. Anyway, you can accept it, right?”

Jiang Li also smiled and said, “Good medicine tastes bitter, loyal advice is unpleasant on the ears, the words you said to His Majesty have the same justification as the words you said to me. Duke informed the facts to me, just expressing my gratitude is still late.”

“However, knowing the truth and living soberly is an exhausting thing.”

“Is it?” Jiang Li fixed her eyes on his, “Isn’t this how Duke is living?”

For a split second, Jiang Li felt that even the tear mole under his eyes became a bit brighter. The smile on his lips froze, or perhaps disappeared. His gaze towards Jiang Li, his expression did not have the usual tease nor provocation, did not have the exploring nor the scrutiny, merely a flash of complexity.

After a long time, he smiled once again and said, “To be seen through by a little girl, if spoken outside will make a person lose face.”

“No one in this world will dare to think that you’ve lost face.” Jiang Li smiled.

Ji Heng reached out suddenly and grabbed her chin.

His fingertips were slightly cold, it was hard to imagine that such a gorgeous person had no warmth in his fingers, as if he was carrying the coldness from outside. He leaned to the side, pressed his body forward, and looked at Jiang Li from the top. The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened and he murmured, “Your mouth is too sweet, making people really want to have a taste.”

Jiang Li froze.

She was by no means afraid of Ji Heng, even if Ji Heng was moody or ambitious, the inner thoughts that she managed to pry into and see were not without any traces. But when Ji Heng made ambiguous moves towards her, she was somewhat embarrassed and at a complete loss. She could not push him away, in fact, she could not do it either. She was aware that Ji Heng was being playful, teasing her evilly. But when the breath of the other person was getting closer, the shadow casted by his long eyelashes could be seen, and her clear figure could be seen in his pupils. She could see his amused gaze, saw his slightly upturned, rosy lips….. Jiang Li abruptly lowered her eyes, avoiding Ji Heng’s meaningful eyes, refusing to reveal her weakness to Ji Heng.

His lips stopped a hair’s breadth away from her lips.

Instead, in a laughing tone of voice, he said, “As it turns out, you still know to be afraid of me. I thought you have reached the stage of having no scruples towards me.”

Jiang Li regained her space and she was greatly relieved.

The next moment, Ji Heng let go and sat back in his original position, laughing lazily at her.

There weren’t any flaws that could be picked in his appearance under the light. With his gorgeous smile, he resembled a mythical goblin that reaped lives.

Jiang Li’s gaze staggered. It was truly….. too dazzling.

“Already scared and don’t dare to look at me anymore? Isn’t your guts very big?” He withdrew his fan and got up. He said, “Let’s stop here today, it’s no longer early. In the future, if you have any requirements, you are free to blow the whistle. Zhao Ke will reply to your questions, sometimes,” he smiled brightly, “I will also come.”

Jiang Li said, “There is no need for that.”

“It’s not up to you.” He drew the windows open, left a sentence “until we meet again, little guy”, and in a moment, the shadow of this person disappeared from inside the room.

Only the flames from the candle were flickering and there seemed to be a lingering fragrance.

My girly heart was squealing by the end of the chapter. Ji Heng is the type of male who would perform a kabedon, agree? (????-)?
