Chapter 607 - 176: Found (New Announcement) - Part 2
People at the Official’s Residence knew in private about the disappearance of Jiang Youyao not long ago. Jiang Yuanbai had never given up and continued to send people to search for her, but unfortunately, all efforts returned futile. Those in the know at the Official’s Residence believed that either Jiang Youyao’s fate hung by a thread, or she had already left Yanjing City. They never expected to find her now in the private prison of Princess Yongning’s Mansion—this matter was of great importance, so they did not dare to be negligent and immediately notified the Chief Minister’s Residence.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Yuanbai hurried over. When he saw Jiang Youyao, he actually shed tears in front of everyone, took Jiang Youyao back to the Jiang Residence, and soon after arranged for a physician. Not long thereafter, word spread that Jiang Yuanbai had gone to the palace with a stern face, seeking an explanation from Emperor Hongxiao.
As Heaven would pity, even if Miss Jiang the Third got better in the days to come, her life was probably ruined forever.
"Let’s go see her," Jiang Li got up and said.
"Didn’t the old madam tell you not to go?" Tonger said, "She mentioned Miss Jiang the Third is not doing well and fears you’d be frightened."
"It doesn’t matter," Jiang Li said, "If I don’t go, it would only cause more gossip."
Jiang Li had heard from Zhao Ke that on the first day Jiang Youyao was thrown into the private prison by Princess Yongning, her eyes were gouged out. Previously, Jiang Li thought if she hadn’t been too harsh, or if she had informed Jiang Yuanbai sooner, Jiang Youyao might not have ended up in such a plight. After hearing Zhao Ke’s words, she understood that even if she had told Jiang Yuanbai immediately upon learning the news, she couldn’t have saved Jiang Youyao.
Princess Yongning wanted Jiang Youyao to despair, which is why she took her eyes right from the start. What can one do after losing an eye? It was this very despair that could utterly destroy Jiang Youyao. Having experienced Princess Yongning’s malice herself, Jiang Li could almost feel the pain Jiang Youyao must have felt. But, if she hadn’t followed Li Lian back to the Li Family from the beginning, or if she had thought it through and actively sought ways to contact the Jiang Family sooner, she wouldn’t have fallen into such an abyss.
Who would have thought that things would turn out this way?
Jiang Li and Tonger went to Yaoguang Mansion.
