Chapter 735 - 221 Shock_2
Jiang Li said in annoyance, "Nonsense."
"Alas," Jiang Jingrui suddenly sighed again, "it’s too late to say anything now. The imperial edict has been issued; even if we know Duke Su has a difficult temperament, it’s impossible to call off the marriage now. Initially, I thought it was the Crown Prince..." His face was full of regret.
It seemed that the Jiang family members generally thought Yin Zhili was a better choice than Jih Heng. However, after what Emperor Hongxiao did tonight, Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping probably wouldn’t think the same as before. Jiang Jingrui might not understand the complex situations at the imperial court, but the other members of the Jiang family were certainly not foolish.
Jiang Li guessed that when she returned to the Jiang Residence later, Jiang Yuanbai would want to have a "heart-to-heart" talk with her.
Indeed, as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Jiang Residence, Jiang Li wanted to head back to her courtyard, but after only a few steps, Jiang Yuanbai called out to her, saying, "Jiang Li, come with me."
Bai Xue and Tonger looked at Jiang Li worriedly. Jiang Li gave them a reassuring glance and followed Jiang Yuanbai to the study.
As soon as the door closed behind them, Jiang Yuanbai turned and asked, "Did you know about Duke Su asking for your hand in marriage tonight beforehand?"
Jiang Li replied, "No."
She had to lie about this matter; if she admitted the truth, Jiang Yuanbai would only think that her previous warning about problems within the Yin Household was motivated by self-interest.
Jiang Yuanbai looked at her skeptically.
