Chapter 610 - 177: Confrontation in Court
Mr. Xiao Deyin came to the Jiang Family in the afternoon.
The Jiang Family was in a state of chaos, and Mr. Xiao’s sudden visit at this time was astonishing. He only mentioned that he had received news of Jiang Youyao and was worried, so he came to see her. The Jiang family members, thinking that Mr. Xiao was Jiang Youyao’s zither teacher and shared a teacher-student bond, felt it was appropriate for him to come and show concern. Therefore, the Jiang family members were very grateful for Mr. Xiao’s visit.
After seeing Jiang Youyao, Mr. Xiao quickly came out, his expression very solemn. He then asked to see Jiang Li, who was also once his student, and no one suspected anything.
Jiang Li was painting in her room when she heard that Mr. Xiao was coming. She put down her brush, went to the door, and saw Mr. Xiao anxiously looking inside.
Jiang Li had Bai Xue invite him in.
As soon as Mr. Xiao entered and saw Jiang Li, he couldn’t wait to say, "Jiang Li, today I heard about Youyao’s situation and immediately came to visit. Seeing Youyao like this breaks my heart."
Jiang Li replied, "Thank you, sir, for your concern. It pains me too to see my younger sister like this."
"Princess Yongning is truly despicable," said Mr. Xiao with a shudder. "To use such means on a young lady is appalling." As she spoke these words, she unusually betrayed genuine feelings. The thought of almost falling into Princess Yongning’s hands herself sent chills down Mr. Xiao’s spine, thinking that if she ended up like Jiang Youyao, life would be worse than death.
Therefore, she had hurriedly come here to ask Jiang Li about something. "Jiang Li, Mr. Xue suddenly sued Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong for plotting against Fangfei... What’s going on?" she inquired.
Jiang Li looked at her in surprise, "What’s going on, aren’t you the one who knows it best? Didn’t you say long ago that Miss Xue was conspired against and killed by Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning? Why are you asking now?"
Mr. Xiao awkwardly responded, "Of course I know the inside story. I’m just wondering why... why is it Mr. Xue who sued, and not you, Jiang Li?"
