Chapter 702 - 214: Farewell_3
"She said she was going to the kitchen to bring some cold dishes for the young miss, but she has been gone for quite a while now, and I don’t know why she hasn’t returned yet. Miss, should I go and see?"
"It’s alright." Jiang Li shook her head, "Perhaps something delayed her, I’m not really concerned, I was just asking about her."
Jiang Li sat at the desk, idly flipping through a book in front of her, her heart inexplicably racing as if something was about to happen. The book before her eyes failed to capture her attention, her mind excessively troubled. She pressed a hand to her forehead, about to massage it, when suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and Tonger’s voice came from outside.
Bai Xue opened the door, and as Tonger came in, Bai Xue, noticing her empty hands, wondered, "Weren’t you going to bring cold dishes for the young miss? How come you have nothing?"
Tonger mumbled a few words, and seeing her like this, Jiang Li said, "Just speak plainly, we’re all family here, no need to worry."
"No, it’s not worry about that..." Tonger hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Li, and after Jiang Li nodded at her, Tonger seemed to gather her courage to speak her mind, "Miss, the old master is going to marry you to Young Master Yin!"
Even though Tonger spoke in a whisper, Jiang Li and Bai Xue were still startled, Bai Xue said, "What are you talking about? Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
"Tonger, did you overhear something? Don’t be afraid, tell me, and I will think of a solution." Jiang Li comforted her.
Her voice was gentle, and after the initial shock, she quickly regained her composure, seemingly influencing Tonger to gradually calm down too. Tonger said, "I originally planned to go to the kitchen tonight to fetch some cold dishes for the young miss. It was hot, and I wanted to take a shortcut behind the Night Wind Hall, as it is closer. But as I passed under a window there, I happened to overhear the old madam and the old master talking."
