Chapter 683 - 210: Goodbye_4
"You..." Jiang Li had barely spoken when the person shivered, turned their head, and startled her as she exclaimed, "Zhao Ke?"
"Ah? Second Miss," Zhao Ke responded, "It’s been a long time."
"How come you’re here?" Jiang Li wondered in her heart. Zhao Ke had left the Jiang Family a long time ago, perhaps because whatever task Jih Heng had entrusted him with at the Jiang Family was completed, or maybe the Jiang Family had lost its usefulness to Jih Heng, and there was no longer a need to have someone keep watch. Thus, suddenly seeing Zhao Ke before her was surprising. Jiang Li asked, "What are you doing here in the dead of night? Surely, you’re not here just to pick weeds."
Zhao Ke coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "Second Miss, my lord sent me to see if anything has happened at the Chief Minister’s Residence."
"Something has happened?" Jiang Li puzzled, not understanding, "What thing?"
Zhao Ke scratched his head, "I don’t know either, maybe he just wanted me to see if Second Miss has run into any trouble."
Jiang Li was taken aback and then smiled: "Thanks for his kindness." What was this? Secretive concern? Jiang Li couldn’t quite make sense of it. She replied, "But nothing special has happened, I’m also doing very well."
Zhao Ke looked at Jiang Li with a strange expression, as if wanting to say something but hesitating to speak, and eventually let out an abrupt sigh, saying, "By the way, my lord also said, if Miss Jiang the Second isn’t asleep, she can visit the Duke Residence."
Jiang Li was taken aback.
"Second Miss doesn’t seem to be asleep right now, so do you want to visit the Duke Residence?"
Jiang Li found it funny yet annoying that he mentioned it so casually, as if it were a stroll in her own garden—only someone from the Duke Residence could do this. Indeed, she had some questions to ask Jih Heng about the Yin Household. However, it was precisely because of the Yin family that she felt a bit apprehensive. Jiang Li said to Zhao Ke: "It’s possible, but you should know, with the Zhaode General having returned to Yanjing today and even visiting the Jiang Family, I’m not sure about the relationship between Zhaode General and your lord, but it’s always good to be more cautious. If we leave now, won’t people from the Yin Household discover us?"
