Chapter 207 Adopted Daughter Li Yulan
Li Yulan's whole body stiffened and she smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, my daughter will listen to you."
She stood aside, watching her mother and Jiusu talking affectionately, feeling an indescribable sourness in her heart. For some reason, she just didn't like Jiusu.
An ordinary country girl.
How did you gain the emperor's favor?
Yi Hui said, "Yulan, go see where the Marquis has gone."
Li Yulan could tell that this was an attempt to get her out of here. She bowed and left: "Yes, daughter will go call father."
The two people in the study happened to come out.
She walked towards him and saw Jiang Jing. Her eyes lit up and she recalled the scenes of the Jiang family in the past. Her heart was slightly moved. She bowed and called out, "Father, Young Master Jiang."
Lord Li introduced: "This is my adopted daughter. You should have seen her."
Li Yulan came closer, smiling.
"Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Jing responded: "Ms. Li."
Lord Li asked, "My lady asked you to come and look for me? Come on, let's go together."
The three people in the room had already cried. Seeing the figure outside, Yi Hui was reluctant to let go of her hand. She choked and said, "You are obviously my biological daughter, why can't you recognize me?"
She really didn't want to care about the twists and turns involved.
Jiusu's eyes flushed red as he said, "Just think of it as protecting me."
Yi Hui nodded. Her eyes were red from crying. She couldn't let anyone notice anything, so she could only pretend to be asleep. However, her trembling shoulders under the quilt could not hide her grief.
She wants to protect her daughter.
I must protect it well this time.
The Marquis walked into the room and saw the person on the bed. Jiang's mother nodded and greeted him. It was inconvenient to disturb the couple's bedroom, so she went out with Jiusu.
Lord Li said, "Miss Jiu, life here is not easy, right?"
Jiusu said softly: "It's all over."
I guess the Marquis also knows it.
The Marquis did not show any emotional breakdown or indifference, nor did he blame her. He must have been unaware of what happened that year. If he knew and was still so calm, then this Marquisate must be hiding a huge secret.
Jiang's mother went to comfort her daughter.
Jiusu walked out of the yard and saw two people standing by the pool. She raised her eyebrows and called softly, "A Jing?"
Jiang Jing turned around, and the cold look on his face disappeared instantly.
He held her hand and said, "Would you accompany me to a place to meet Lord Song later?"
Jiusu nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything yet.
On the side, Li Yulan came over and bowed politely, "Miss Jiu, thank you for the cakes. Mother enjoyed them very much. I won't disturb you two any more."
She walked a few steps and looked back with a smile on her face.
"Goodbye, Mr. Jiang."
Jiu Su: "???"
I suddenly felt so green.
Jiang Jing looked at Jiusu with a frown on his face, and said hurriedly, "A Su, I'm not familiar with her. What she said was incomprehensible. She must have done it on purpose."
Qiu Man came trotting over with red eyes and her skirt lifted up.
"Sister Jiusu, I looked around but couldn't find Mr. Song. Do you know where he is?"
Jiusu looked at Jiang Jing, "Is Lord Song on duty?"
"You can go." Jiang Jing said, "He must be waiting anxiously, let's go now."
The maid stood guard at the door and the marquis closed the door.
As soon as he turned around, he met Yi Hui's deep gaze. It had been a long time since he saw her look so serious, so he couldn't help but ask nervously, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Yi Hui patted the empty space on the bed and saw him sitting over.
She asked: "Did you participate in the incident when my daughter was taken away? Did you know about it?"
Lord Li raised his finger and swore, "If I did it, God will strike me with lightning. Madam, how could I do such a beastly thing?"
The best proof was that a strand of his long hair turned white overnight.
Yi Hui stroked the strand of white hair, and his smile became more gentle.
"I recognized my daughter."
"Is it really her?" Lord Li understood everything instantly when his wife nodded. He smiled helplessly and said, "Jiang Jing also revealed something just now. It seems that he wants to see if I know anything about what happened back then."
Yi Hui cried, "It's our fault. We made Yuyu feel insecure."
Lord Li hugged her and sighed.
"Now that we have found our daughter, let's take her back to Shengjing and raise her at home. Let her enjoy all the glory and wealth. Our family should never be separated again."
Yi Hui shook her head. She had only been in contact with her daughter for a short time, but she could understand her daughter's temper.
She advised, "My daughter is already a salt transport envoy, and her future is bright. Besides, she doesn't want to acknowledge her parents yet, and wants to catch the mastermind. We must not let her down. Lord, you send people to Shengjing to investigate what happened that year. We will set up a trap and wait for the man to fall into it."
Lord Li nodded, "Okay, I'll go now and let me catch him. I'll punish him severely!"
-
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. The surroundings were damp and smelled of earth, and the wind blew the leaves off the trees.
There was a house in front, surrounded by soldiers and officers.
Song Wang was wearing a dark purple robe, with his hands behind his back, indifferent to everything. Next to him stood a beautiful woman, who was the person from Jiu Mansion just now.
Qiu Man curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly.
"It's Li Yulan again! Why does she always follow Lord Song?"
Song Wang heard the voice and looked to the left. He paused for a moment at Qiu Man's face. Seeing that she had hidden herself, he clasped his fists and greeted her: "Mr. Jiang."
"Sir Song." Jiang Jing returned the greeting and explained, "This is Jiusu, the salt transport envoy, and that is the second young lady of the Qiu family."
Jiusu and Songwang greeted each other.
Qiu Man picked up her handkerchief and bowed in a pretentious manner, saying, "My little girl greets you, Master Jiu."
"Ms. Qiu." Song Wang nodded.
Li Yulan approached with a graceful and decent manner, standing side by side with Song Wang, and smiled at the three of them: "What a coincidence, you are here too."
Unfortunately, no one cares.
Song Wang said: "Mr. Jiang, go in and take a look."
The two walked side by side, and Jiusu asked, "Is this what an ancient gentleman is like?" Qiu Man tugged at her sleeve and complained, "Is he helping her out?"
Jiusu was surprised, "No?"
When it comes to emotions, girls are extremely sensitive and fragile.
She said, "Don't think too much, let's go and see what happened."
Li Yulan quickened her pace, caught up with the two, and took the initiative to talk: "Someone died in there. His death was ugly and horrible. I don't know why he became so thin."
Qiu Man glared at her, pulled Jiusu away for a distance, and said with puffed cheeks.
"We can see for ourselves, you don't need us to tell you! Sister Jiusu, let's go!"
Sure enough, someone died.
The deceased was lying on the couch with something beside him. The room was filled with the smell of smoke, which was particularly choking. As soon as Jiusu saw his appearance, he knew how he died. However, there was actually opium here. He had been in ancient times for so many days, but he had never seen anyone smoking.
What's more, he smokes opium even though he has nothing at home. There must be a big hidden story behind this.
Zhang Tu wanted to cry but had no tears. He was the county magistrate and the case was under his jurisdiction, but there were three high-ranking officials standing in front of him. This was too stressful.
A county magistrate, who looked like a servant, put his hands in front of him and bowed, saying, "The deceased was called Hunpi. He was a mischievous boy since he was young, so everyone gave him this name. His parents died early, and this house belonged to his uncle. After his death, Hunpi got married a few years ago, but I don't see Hunpi's wife."
