Chapter 358 - 127 Retrial
Prince Cheng looked uncertainly at Jih Heng.
There was no connection between Jih Heng and the Jiang Family—at least none that Prince Cheng’s spies could find a trace of. Yet, at this critical moment, Jih Heng had spoken up for Jiang Li, making the nature of their relationship intriguing.
After a long pause, Prince Cheng laughed and said, "Duke Su seems to be quite the compassionate and delicate soul."
Jih Heng raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
He wasn’t afraid of Prince Cheng. In fact, Prince Cheng indeed dared not do anything to him. Even if he was inwardly uncomfortable, he could only say a few words and could not overstep. Duke Su was both ruthless and cunning, it would be unwise to incur his resentment and provoke him to cause trouble from behind the scenes.
"If that’s the case, I can’t do much to Miss Jiang the Second." Unable to do anything to Jih Heng, Prince Cheng still dared to threaten Jiang Li openly. He said, "It’s just that I don’t know what the outcome of today’s case will be. Miss Jiang the Second seems so confident now, I hope she can still smile at the end." He left with a meaningful remark and a glance at Jih Heng, turning away with a flick of his sleeve.
The smile on Jih Heng’s face lingered. It was unclear whether he was speaking to Jiang Li or to himself, "It seems he has come prepared."
Jiang Li came back to her senses and thanked Jih Heng, "I am once again grateful for your intervention today, Duke."
"You were never so polite in the past." Jih Heng’s ambiguity made Ye Shijie’s gaze unwittingly linger on them.
"Back then, I was compelled by the situation." Jiang Li also smiled, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will surely express my gratitude one by one."
