Chapter 84 Part 2: Chaos
Jiang Li took quicker steps, intending to pull the distance with Ji Heng, walking with her eyes looking at the ground. Perhaps Ji Heng’s legs were too long, he walked leisurely yet always kept up with Jiang Li’s pace, not knowing his own place.
He unhurriedly spoke: “Jiang second miss’s ability to put on a play is more brilliant compared to Liu Shen from the Xiang Si group.”
Jiang Li only felt her heart trembling. The mentioned Liu Sheng from the Xiang Si group was known for having his leg broken and thrown out by this master in front of her for wanting to climb on his bed.
Could Ji Heng be hinting something?
Jiang Li racked her brain, but her mouth wasn’t idle as she said: “The duke has misunderstood, I am not interested in putting on a play.”
“People putting on a play are not required to have the interest,” Ji Heng said with a smile: “It’s enough to do well.”
Jiang Li truly had no idea the intention of this Duke Su. But she had no choice but to raise her alertness to cope with Ji Heng. Simply because Ji Heng didn’t seem to be a good person.
Who knew what he was planning in his heart? Even Hong Xiao Emperor was calculated by him.
Thinking that Ji Heng might have already changed his stance and sided with Cheng Wang, Jiang Li was immediately terrified.
Ji Heng did not have the righteousness of the ruler and the ministers. This was no longer vicious and merciless, but the arrogance that nothing could enter his eyes.
Jiang Li felt, this kind of person, though he was a beauty, it’s better to stay far away from him.
Ji Heng no longer spoke, just walking along with Jiang Li leisurely. The rear views of the two of them, one thin, quiet and exquisite, one sumptuous and flirtatious, were clearly unmatched. But the shadows on the ground cast by lights fell together, showing touching postures, were completely harmonious.
After walking through the promenade, to go towards the direction of the palace, the womenfolk had to wait for their husbands.
The group of ladies were walking when they heard a female’s voice suddenly ring out: “Mother!”
The voice sounded extremely mournful. When everyone looked over, outside the pavilion, there’s actually a female whose appearance cut a sorry figure, staggering to come over, running towards Shen Yurong’s mother, mother Shen’s side.
That female was Shen Ruyun.
Even Jiang Li felt a bit astonished. Her original intention was merely to let Shen Ruyun run into Jiang Yu’e and Zhou Yan Bang engaging in illicit affairs, felt jealous and drew other people to come. However currently, the dress on Shen Ruyun was not orderly, her hair was messy, it’s not known what she had encountered.
Is there an accident in between?
A smile flashed on Madam Liu who was holding Liu Xu’s hand.
Just now, the bystanders were only paying attention to the servant girl who came to inform Ningyuan Marchioness and heard the three words Yu Xiu Pavilion from the servant girl’s mouth. Aware that it was necessary to pass through Yu Xiu Pavilion on the path to go out of the palace, Madam Liu immediately mentioned to go out of the palace. Ningyuan Marchioness was also in a confused state of mind and didn’t care, absolutely didn’t take note of the tact inside. Even the people waiting around Li-pin who were familiar with the palace had a bearing of holding the matter as not a concern to themselves and didn’t remind them.
Madam Liu had no enmity with Ningyuan Marchioness, she merely cried out against injustice for Jiang Li. Her good friend, Ye Zhen Zhen’s daughter, was clearly a sensible and clever young lady. Yet without any good reason, she suffered a lot of blame. Ningyuan Marquis’s residence was also treacherous; how could they change the marriage midway? Now hearing that Zhou Yan Bang had met with mishap, Madam Liu did not feel sympathetic at all. On the contrary, she was a bit elated and felt that the heavens had opened their eyes. Since it was so, not personally bring everyone to look at how Zhou Yan Bang met with “an accident”, wasn’t it failing to meet the expectation of heaven’s good intention?
She definitely wasn’t kind enough to give Ningyuan Marchioness a step down.
At once, Shen Ruyun threw herself in front of mother Shen, nearly fainting. Only then was everyone able to see clearly, Shen Ruyun had already cried for some time and looked totally pitiful.
“Mother, mother.......”
“Ruyun, what happened to you?” mother Shen asked urgently.
“Mother, Ningyuan Marquis’s heir, he..... He..... was disrespectful to me!”
“Puff”, a burst of uncontainable laughter actually sounded from one of the young ladies from the official families. When a female suffered frivolity, although they were angry, they wouldn’t take the initiative to say it out loud. No matter what, girls were thin-skinned. It was not pretty to say this in the presence of a lot of people under their gazes. But Shen Ruyun actually said this loudly, as if afraid other people could not hear her. Possibly because she came from a small door and a small family, thus didn’t know any rules.
Mother Shen immediately glanced gloomily at the young lady. Right away that young lady who burst out was silent, frightened into drilling into her mother’s embrace.
Shen Ruyun was still crying and gasping for air.
Jiang Li was surprised, this matter was unexpected for her. In her speculation, although Zhou Yan Bang was a fake nobleman, no matter what, he wouldn’t be frivolous towards Shen Ruyun because for him, Shen Ruyun was merely a stranger. Moreover, at that time, Jiang Yu’e should still be present, Zhou Yan Bang....... How would he have free time?
Right at this moment, she suddenly glimpsed Shen Ruyun who was wrapped in mother Shen’s embrace. Her eyes blinked, not appearing to be grieving. Instead it looked like she was feeling proud of herself for getting her way with her scheme.
