Chapter 558 - 166 Awake
On Yongning’s and Li Xian’s big wedding day, Jiang Li hadn’t stayed until the end after all. Since Jiang Yuanbai and the Li Family had always been on bad terms, it was already gracious of him to attend the wedding at the Li Residence, and it was naturally impossible for him to stay till the very end. Once the banquet was over, he took the Jiang family members back to their residence.
Therefore, Jiang Li hadn’t had the chance to speak more with Jih Heng. Strangely, when Jih Heng brought up the matter of taking her life, Jiang Li felt very calm, even without a trace of fluke. She probably felt that for Jih Heng, taking her life was only a matter of a single thought. Even if she were clever and resorted to schemes, under Jih Heng’s power, it would only be a futile resistance, like an insect shaking a tree.
One must keep a promise, she had told Jih Heng before, and now she had to abide by it. Being able to let go was the virtue of a good husband.
Jiang Li wasn’t overly troubled.

Tonger answered, "The young lady was just about to go to the Ye family. It’s unexpected that you would come."
"Ah Shun, has something happened?" Jiang Li asked.
Ah Shun scratched his head: "Miss Biao, County Magistrate Xue has awakened, and Doctor Situ sent me to inform you."
Jiang Li stood shocked for a moment, as if it took her a while to process the news, before she quickly hurried towards the carriage, saying, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s set off at once."
