Chapter 708 - 215 Confession_5
He spoke of love so naturally that it never seemed cloying or insincere. Jiang Li also accepted this naturally, and their relationship had evolved from the initial mutual testing and calculations, from a chance encounter to becoming friends, confidantes, and even what they were now.
It seemed there was nothing wrong with that.
Jih Heng, unwilling to divulge more no matter how she was questioned, left Jiang Li to her thoughts. If all else failed, she would find her own way to gather the information. However, the news of Yin Zhan’s treasonous intentions had still taken her by surprise.
"Father... the Jiang Family won’t get implicated, will they?"
"As long as your marriage to Yin Zhili doesn’t go through, there’s nothing to worry about," Jih Heng said with a nonchalant air, "Jiang Yuanbai is a man with ambition but no bravery. He would never dare to attempt something as treasonous as this. It’s unlikely that the Jiang Family knew of Yin Zhili’s previous plans. Once Yin Zhan reveals his ambition, Jiang Yuanbai will naturally keep his distance."
"I just feel that if Emperor Hongxiao misunderstands and thinks the Jiang Family is as greedy and treacherous as the Yin Household..." She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does the Emperor know about this?"
Jih Heng just smiled silently.
Jiang Li immediately understood Jih Heng’s implication—Emperor Hongxiao was aware of it. Emperor Hongxiao was indeed more calculating than anyone had anticipated. She had no idea if Yin Zhan was aware of this, but perhaps even if he was, he wasn’t concerned. To Yin Zhan, his forces were strong, and the Imperial Forest Army of Yanjing City was no match for him.
But it seemed that Jih Heng wasn’t afraid of Yin Zhan either.
