Chapter 745 - 223 In-laws_2
With these thoughts, Jiang Li grew increasingly anxious and urged the coachman several times, wishing she could arrive at the Ye Residence sooner to prevent Jih Heng from getting there first and meeting Xue Huaiyuan.
Tonger saw her anxiety and felt it peculiar, trying to console her, "Miss, the roads are slippery due to the rain; we cannot travel too fast. We left early today, there’s plenty of time, and we won’t be late. Elder Master Ye won’t blame you."
Jiang Li managed a strained smile. At long last, they caught sight of the large gates of the Ye Residence. The coachman pulled the reins, and the carriage came to a stop at the entrance. Bai Xue got off first, holding an umbrella, followed by Tonger helping Jiang Li down. The three of them walked towards the Ye Residence together.
The doorkeeper, well-acquainted with them, opened the gate. Jiang Li asked, "Has anyone else arrived?"
The servant blinked, "Other people? No, isn’t Miss Biao the only visitor today?"
It seemed that Jih Heng and her party had not arrived yet, and Jiang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the sound of another carriage approached. This carriage was much larger than the Jiang family’s, appearing extremely luxurious and colorful. Jiang Li looked over, and just as the carriage curtain was lifted, a familiar figure jumped out, followed by his jovial voice, "Miss Jiang the Second, long time no see!"
Jiang Li was stunned—it was Wen Renyao.
If Jih Heng wasn’t the one coming today, what was Wen Renyao doing here? Then, Jiang Li saw a small head peeking out behind Wen Renyao; it was Lin Yao, whom she had rescued from Huangzhou. Since Lin Yao had returned to Yanjing City with Wen Renyao, Jiang Li rarely saw him. She didn’t know what Wen Renyao was involving him in, but now the young boy, dressed in Taoist attire, truly had an air of immortality about him. He seemed thinner too, maybe because he had grown taller.
After that, Situ Jiuyue jumped down from the carriage, followed by Old General Jih, and lastly, the carriage curtain was lifted by a beautiful hand, and Jih Heng gracefully descended from it.
