Chapter 615 - 179: Abandoning the Car_2
Xue Huaiyuan discovered that in the corners of Jiang Li’s eyes, there seemed to be a glimmer of tears, as if she had cried. But Xue Huaiyuan still did not understand why Jiang Li, to their Xue Family, could almost be considered a savior reborn. However, many strangers upon seeing others struggling in dire straits reach out to help, perhaps out of kindness or perhaps for other reasons. Yet what Sister Jiang Li exhibited seemed as natural as if it were her duty.
Why? She is the Second Miss of the Jiang Family, and originally had no ties with the Xue Family at all.
Xue Huaiyuan said, "Before, Miss Jiang mentioned that one day she would tell me why she had offered her hand to the Xue Family. Now, the evil doers have received their punishment. Is it that time now?"
His tone was very gentle, as if he was earnestly inquiring, which caused Jiang Li to pause, and a sense of bleak sadness suddenly rose in her heart. Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong this time indeed did not escalate their roles. The real culprits responsible for the deaths of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao had finally been revealed to the world. The justice she had sought for so long had not disappeared without a trace, but that justice, perhaps at the cost of a life, was not easy to achieve.
She still could not tell her father the truth, for her own future was uncertain.
"Now is not the time," Jiang Li swallowed the sadness in her belly and said, "But there is something the County Magistrate Xue may want to know."
"What is it?" Xue Huaiyuan asked.
"About Xue Zhao’s grave," Jiang Li said, "When Xue Zhao passed away, Hai Tang had already been expelled from the Shen family, so she did not know where Xue Zhao was buried. Moreover, because it was just when Xue Fangfei was being talked about, the arrangements for Xue Zhao’s funeral were made very secret, unknown to others. I have already asked someone to find out the place." She looked at Xue Huaiyuan, "Now that the real culprit has been exposed, County Magistrate Xue can share this good news with Xue Zhao. As for whether Xue Zhao should be brought back to his hometown, it is entirely up to County Magistrate Xue."
