Chapter 712 - 216 Sister-Brother_4
Jiang Li nodded. The body that resembled Xue Zhao’s must have been tampered with by Princess Yongning.
Looking at Xue Zhao, her heart was once again flooded with immense sorrow, "If I had known earlier that you were in the private prison of the Princess’s Mansion, I would have found a way to rescue you. I wouldn’t have let you suffer so much for nothing, even..." She looked at Xue Zhao’s legs, which couldn’t even stand up.
However, Xue Zhao just smiled at her and said, "Sister, I’ve said it before, I still have a life left, and in my view, heaven has already been very kind to me. I thought I would die unknown in the private prison of the Princess’s Mansion, just like all the other people there. I never expected to be rescued, let alone to meet my sister today, and have father also in Yanjing City. Heaven doesn’t cut off all paths; the Almighty has still left a way out for our Xue Family, and hasn’t completely wiped us out. Everyone says that after hardship comes sweetness; having suffered already, the days ahead must surely be good!"
He had always been open-minded and carefree, able to laugh about even this. The more he was like that, the sadder Jiang Li felt.
"Sister, does father know about your identity?" Xue Zhao asked.
Jiang Li paused and then shook her head gently, "I don’t know how to tell him, but these past few days, I’ve been planning to be honest with father."
"Sister, father will definitely believe you. Although you’ve now become the daughter of Jiang family, which is somewhat tricky, at least all of us are still in Yanjing. I also want to go see father, can I go see him?"
Seeing him like this would surely upset Xue Huaiyuan, but compared to the news of Xue Zhao’s death, knowing that Xue Zhao was still alive would probably fill him with more joy. Jiang Li then looked towards Jih Heng and asked, "Can Ah Zhao visit the Ye Residence?"
Jih Heng said, "Yes, I’ll have Wen Ji protect him and take him there."
Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li and then at Jih Heng. Having just found out his sister was still alive, he was immersed in sheer ecstasy and excitement, and had completely overlooked everything said before; Jiang Li had spoken in front of Jih Heng, without any attempt to hide.
