Chapter 419 - 139: Meeting_2
Jiang Li smiled and asked, "What kind of punishment?"
"A life for a life," he said.
Jiang Li’s expression did not fluctuate greatly. Jiang Yuanbai sighed silently in his heart, knowing that just this was not enough to make up for the wrongs Jiang Li had suffered, but he was also the head of the Jiang Family, and he couldn’t disregard the family’s reputation.
"I had no idea... I didn’t realize that Lady Ji could be so malicious. Not to mention, when your mother’s illness became worse by the day, I thought it was merely due to physical weakness and never suspected foul play. If I had known... if I had known, I would have never let Lady Ji enter the Jiang Family’s doors."
In this regard, it’s hard to blame Jiang Yuanbai. Who could have imagined that someone would want to poison Ye Zhenzhen at that time? Maternal Aunt Hu did not have the courage, and Jiang Yuanbai did not have other women. But to his surprise, even before entering the Jiang Family’s doors, Ji Shuran had gradually devised her plot.
The entire Jiang Family was played by Ji Shuran, with her first move being to exploit Jiang Yuanbai’s "love at first sight."
Jiang Yuanbai shook his head, "I also did not know Yueer was harmed by her. Yueer was only four years old... She was heartless enough to do it. I was even more blindsided when she had an affair and took the opportunity to frame you, causing you to leave the Jiang Family... Lady Ji is at fault, I am at fault, and I almost caused a major disaster for the Jiang Family." He said self-mockingly, "Xiao Li, you must resent me a great deal, don’t you?"
"Not really," Jiang Li said, "Actually, since that incident, I have given up on expecting someone to firmly be on my side and believe in me unconditionally. Therefore, nothing surprises me anymore. Are you not curious why I am so concerned about County Magistrate Xue? It’s just because I genuinely believe that County Magistrate Xue and I are in similar plights. No one believes in him, nor is anyone willing to speak for him. Seeing County Magistrate Xue is like seeing the past me. What happened in the past is irreparable, but at least now I can help County Magistrate Xue seek justice," Jiang Li smiled, "That is very satisfying, Father."
