Chapter 688 - 211 Taking Action_4
Jiang Bingji sensed that something was amiss and was about to cry, but Madam Jiang the Elder comforted him a few words, and he quieted down. Exhausted from crying, he soon fell asleep. Madam Jiang the Elder then handed him over to the nanny and asked her to take him to the inner room to sleep.
Jiang Youyao also sat in the room, her one eye wrapped in a white bandage, so that the servants would not be too frightened by her face. However, her other intact eye was also dull, and she sat stupidly in her chair without saying a word.
Lady Lu was somewhat afraid. Although she no longer disliked Jiang Youyao as before, she still couldn’t grow close to her. Seeing Jiang Youyao in such a state, she felt even more creeped out and stayed closer to Jiang Li.
"Where are Father and Second Uncle?" Jiang Li asked, not seeing Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping.
"They’ve gone out and are not in the residence. But your Second Uncle said that our residence is safe and nothing will happen, so Xiao Li, don’t worry," Lady Lu said with a smile. Yet, although she spoke these words, her tone betrayed a hint of panic. Jiang Li knew that the people in Yanjing City hadn’t experienced war in many years, but having heard of what Prince Cheng did in Huangzhou City, they were more or less afraid.
Jiang Li said, "I think General Zhaode will take care of everything."
Her words were not false, for if Yin Zhan really had pressing concerns about letting Yin Zhili come to the Jiang Family for these matters, he wouldn’t have time to worry about such things. It was evident that Prince Cheng wasn’t much of a threat to him. Jiang Li also saw clearly that Jih Heng didn’t show much fear of Prince Cheng but was quite serious when it came to General Zhaode.
It seemed that tonight, Yanjing City would be very peaceful, and Yin Zhan would win over many people’s hearts in his battle against Prince Cheng. But now, inside the city, they couldn’t hear what was happening outside. Yet, the maids and male servants were whispering at the door, looking lost and afraid.
