Chapter 348 - 125: Trembling with Anger
After Jiang Li left Jiang Yuanbai’s study, Jiang Yuanbai did not seek her out again.
For the time being, calm was restored.
Ye Mingyu also stayed in the courtyard reserved for guests, not far from Jiang Li’s. Although Xue Huaiyuan is now an old man, it was impossible for him to live with Jiang Li in the Jiang Residence. Thus, Ye Mingyu shared lodgings with Xue Huaiyuan, which was fortunate since it was close enough for him to visit at any time.
Jiang Jingrui rushed over when he heard the news and, upon meeting her, couldn’t wait to say, "Jiang Li, I’ve heard all about what you did at Changan Gate. If I had known, I would have joined in the excitement too! With so many people, your father was previously fuming, but now he was persuaded by you in just a few words. Well done, I really underestimated you before, you’re becoming more and more capable."
Jiang Jingrui hadn’t changed a bit in the many days since they last met, still the same as always. Jiang Li inquired about the recent happenings in the Jiang Residence and found out that aside from Jiang Yue entering Marquis Ningyuan’s Mansion, there was nothing particularly special. She was reassured and sent him away.
Tonger walked into the room from the courtyard and indignantly said, "Miss, just now at the entrance to the courtyard, I saw a few sneaky people peering in again. Ming Yue and Qingfeng also said that from afternoon to evening, there were many inexplicable people around our courtyard. Lady Ji is starting trouble again. She can’t seem to sit still, we’ve just returned to the mansion, what is she planning to do?"
The inexplicable surveillance could only be the doing of Ji Shuran within the entire Jiang Residence. Jiang Li laughed and said, "Let her be, I have no time to deal with her right now. Besides, if she wants to find out something, whatever can be heard is already out there, and what can’t be heard, she won’t be able to find out from me. Don’t worry about it, better to rest early. The recent travels have been exhausting."
She climbed into her bed, and soon the lights in the room were extinguished.
