Chapter 441 - 144: The Inside Story
It was utterly baffling how I arrived at the Duke Residence, just in time for lunch at the household, so everyone simply sat down to dine together.
Aside from Jih Heng, who didn’t appear as jovially smiling as usual, the others seemed quite happy.
Kong Liu and Wen Renyao were the liveliest of the bunch, with Wen Renyao enthusiastically saying, "Miss Jiang the Second, try the Duke’s cooking, it’s even more authentic than the Imperial Chefs of the palace, and it’s not something one gets to taste every day, only on holidays..."
With a "snap," the silver chopsticks in Jih Heng’s hand broke, and Wen Renyao immediately fell silent, very much so.
Old General Jih glanced at Jiang Li and asked, "Girl, is your surname Jiang? I haven’t asked yet, which family’s daughter are you? Judging by your accent, you are a Yanjing local, aren’t you?"
Jiang Li politely responded, "Yes. My father is Prime Minister Jiang, whom the old general should know. I am the second daughter in my family."
"Jiang Yuanbai?" Old General Jih’s expression changed slightly, and he asked, "You are Jiang Yuanbai’s daughter?"
Jiang Li nodded her head.
