Chapter 393 - 134 Exorcism
This night, Jiang Li slept very restlessly.
The words of Jih Heng echoed in her ears like a curse. Ever since she had become Miss Jiang the Second and re-entered the Jiang Family, she thought there was nothing more to it than the indifferent human feelings and the unique superiority and inferiority practiced in the Official Family Mansion. But now, she saw that the unseen affairs within the gates of the great families could be more terrifying than those of ordinary households. The origins of Miss Jiang the Second were far more complex than she had imagined.
And her situation had become even more dangerous. If Miss Jiang the Second really knew of Ji Shuran’s disgrace, or if Ji Shuran believed that Miss Jiang the Second might know, then there was a reasonable explanation for Ji Shuran’s relentless pursuit over the years. Ji Shuran wanted peace of mind, she wanted to nip it in the bud.
It was a war, a matter of life and death. And it wasn’t just for Jiang Li herself, but also for the deceased Ye Zhenzhen, Miss Jiang the Second whose soul’s whereabouts were unknown, and Jiang Yueer, who died in unexplained circumstances.
The message brought by Jih Heng suddenly gave her another thought. Regarding Ji Shuran’s next plans, if Ji Shuran wanted to kill someone by borrowing a knife, she might as well make it easier for her. As for who would have the last laugh, it would depend on who had the more clever means.
Because she was thinking about these matters at night, she fell asleep very late, and the next day, Jiang Li got up a bit late. Seeing her wake up later than usual, Tonger and Bai Xue did not call for her.
After breakfast, Tonger came over and said, "Miss, did Lady Ji go to the palace again today?"
"Oh?" Jiang Li organized the papers on the table that the wind had blown about, and said, "She is indeed diligent in her visits to the palace."
"It’s said that Consort Li is not feeling well, appears to be sick. Lady Ji hurried into the palace early in the morning, claiming she wanted to visit her sister." Tonger added disdainfully, "Everyone knows she has a consort sister, but usually their relationship isn’t that good, making such a big fuss."
"You," Jiang Li turned her body and tapped Tonger’s forehead, "are becoming more and more outspoken. Such words should only be said in front of me, don’t let others hear them."
