"No."

Jiang Yuanbai's voice was unequivocal and unquestionable. He said, "last time, something happened on your way to the Ye family. I don't know if there are any assassins who missed the net in Yanjing city. If you appear, it's inevitable to be in danger. If you want to see them, you can let them come to Jiang mansion, but in recent days, you'd better not go out."

Jiang Li sighed in her heart. Jiang Yuanbai would say so. In fact, she also thought of it in advance. Before she could argue, Jiang Yuanbai opened his study and went out without any room for negotiation.

Jiang Li has no choice.

When she returned to Fangfei garden, she ran into tong'er and Bai Xue, who were about to be driven out. Tong'er saw Jiang Li, her mouth shriveled, and her tears rolled down, saying, "girl, you are back. The maid thought she would never see you again... Woo..."

"I'm fine. It's you," Jiang Li took her hand and looked, "you blocked a knife for me at that time... But what else?"

Tong'er sobbed and shook his head: "the master asked the doctor to show the maid. It's no big deal. In the future, he can take care of the girl as before. But the girl suffered a lot this time. Those thieves are really hateful. I heard that the girl was abducted to Huangzhou, where there is still war... The maid is really worried, just afraid of what happened to the girl." She was also wholeheartedly thinking of Jiang Li, so Jiang Li had to comfort her in turn: "I'm really OK, you see, I'm not doing well now."

Snow White also surrounded, she was more silent than tong'er, but now she couldn't help but blush her eyes. She said, "it's all because the slaves are useless. They didn't look after the girl at that time, otherwise the girl wouldn't have to suffer like this."

Jiang Li whispered, "I know everything about the government. If you hadn't gone to the government for help, Duke Su wouldn't have known the fact of my disappearance so soon. You did a good job, Bai Xue, thank you."

Snow White looked at her at a loss.

After seeing the breeze and the moon again, Jiang Li returned to the house. After closing the door, tong'er reassured Jiang Li that she hadn't hurt a finger, and then asked Jiang Li about other things. She said, "I heard that the girl was saved, but I don't know who it was... Girl, just now you said the government... Is that the Lord of the country?"

Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Yuanping didn't tell others about it, and Jiang Li didn't hide the two servant girls, so they said, "yes."

Tong'er and Bai Xue both know that Jiang Li has a deep relationship with Ji Heng, so they don't feel anything. Tong'er also said, "Lord Guo is really a good man. It can be seen that he treats the girl as his own person by helping the girl twice and again. The girl has been staying in Huangzhou with Lord Guo these days..." she carefully looked at Jiang Li, but Jiang Li understood in an instant before she exported it.

Jiang Li smiled faintly and said, "I don't see him every day. He has something to do and entrusted me to others."

Tong'er heard the words, "Oh", and his expression dissipated a lot just now. Jiang Li was aroused some inexplicable emotions by her words, and she just felt a little upset in her heart.

She stood up, walked to the table and said, "snow white, help me polish the ink. Since I returned to the house, I should see my uncle and cousin, but my father didn't let me go out, so I had to bother them to run."

Snow White hurriedly goes to lay paper and ink on Jiang Li.

……

In Ye's mansion in Yanjing City, the boy rushed to Ye Mingyu, who was sitting in a daze in the yard with the letter, and said, "master, the Jiang family, the Jiang family sent the post!"

Ye Mingyu frowned, "what's good about the post sent by the Jiang family? What's Jiang Yuanbai's idea? Don't answer!"

"It's not Jiang Shoufu, it's Miss Biao, Miss Biao's post!" The boy explained.

"Ah Li?" Ye Mingyu jumped up from the chair at once, pulled the post in Xiaosi's hand, and saw clearly that it was really the post under Jiang Li. He was stunned for a while, and then said with ecstasy, "ah Li is back!"

He is so happy! In the past 20 days or so since Jiang LiXiao was kidnapped, Princess Liu was first killed in Yanjing City, and Cheng Wang escaped, and then something happened in Huangzhou. At the beginning, ye Mingyu got the news of Jiang Li's disappearance and asked his friends in the Jianghu to help find Jiang Li's whereabouts everywhere, but he found nothing. A few days later, who knows, a letter came to the Jiang family suddenly, saying that Jiang Li had been found and was in Huangzhou.

Hearing this, ye Mingyu wanted to find someone to pick up Jiang Li. Who knew that Jiang Yuanbai stopped him and said it was Jiang Li's own idea. Ye Mingyu didn't believe it at first. Jiang Yuanbai took out Jiang Li's letter and let Ye Mingyu see it himself. Ye Mingyu gave up.

But then Huangzhou suddenly began to fight, and King Cheng's troops were outside Huangzhou City. Hearing that Huangzhou City was not peaceful, and that someone was burning, killing and looting inside, ye Mingyu was even more worried.

But now he can't help much, so he can only sit in the yard all day and is anxious. He doesn't even want to go shopping in the Hualou. When he heard that he was angry, even the girl he met in the Hualou scolded a few words, which made people unhappy.

And now finally got the news of Jiang Li, and finally can end such anxiety, how can ye Mingyu be unhappy. Immediately, he sent someone to call ye Shijie over. After finishing his clothes, he was ready to go out to see Jiang Li.

Ye Shijie was also very happy when he got the news. Although he never revealed it, he quickly prepared the carriage. Just about to go out, Xue Huaiyuan rushed over. He looks much better these days. It seems that Xue Huaiyuan unloaded a heavy burden after Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were executed and the murderers of the cases of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao were exposed to the world. He went to Xue Zhao's Tomb every day to talk and teach Ye Shijie a little about being an official. Gradually, there were some shadows of Xue Xiancheng, or Xue Lingyun.

"Master ye," Xue Huaiyuan said, "I just heard that Miss Jiang has returned to Jiang's house."

Ye Mingyu nodded, "yes, sorry, I was happy just now and forgot to tell the old man."

"I also want to see Miss Jiang," Xue Huaiyuan said, "before, Miss Jiang helped our Xue family too much. After Miss Jiang had an accident, I have always been worried."

He still hesitated, probably because he thought that ye Mingyu and ye Shijie went to Jiang Li's house to see Jiang Li, which was justifiable. After all, they were Jiang Li's uncle and cousin, and he was not related to Jiang Li himself, which was a little hard to say.

However, Xue Huaiyuan had a particularly wonderful feeling for Jiang Li in his heart. Maybe it's because Jiang Li helped Fang Fei clear her grievances, or maybe it's because the girl Jiang herself is frank and frank, or maybe it's because she and Ali are surprisingly similar in some ways. When Jiang Li was kidnapped, Xue Huaiyuan also had a burst of anxiety and worry in his heart. This feeling was very wonderful, which made him feel sleepless at night. So when ye Mingyu and others were anxious, Xue Huaiyuan seemed calm, but in fact, he was the same as ye Mingyu.

When he knew that Jiang Li had returned to Jiang Fu today, Xue Huaiyuan's heart suddenly fell. He also wants to see if Jiang Li is injured and how he is now.

Xue Huaiyuan looked at Ye Mingyu, and ye Shijie said, "Mr. Xue, please go with us. I think my cousin will be very happy to see Mr. Xue."

Ye Mingyu was careless. Naturally, he wouldn't notice anything. Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "go, go together!"

……

Jiang Li is sitting in the room, and the post has been sent to the Ye family. She can't go out of the house. After Princess Yongning and shenyurong, she doesn't know what else she can do for a moment. It seems that the next thing we can do is to be a first aide's lady safely, but it's rather melancholy.

She couldn't help pressing her chest and took out a jade pendant engraved with civet cat.

The jade pendant has clear lines and is warm. Jiang Li's fingers stroked the lines of the jade pendant, but she couldn't help thinking of that day, Ji Heng disappeared from the carriage, and suddenly appeared outside the thatched house at night. He spread out his hand to himself, with this jade pendant in his hand.

He said, "you still don't believe me, Ali."

His appearance was thick and colorful, so it was natural to think that his emotion was also decisive and rich, which was clearly prohibitive and did not dare to approach. Jiang Li somewhat understood why he insisted on being a theater goer and refused to enter the play. What he was most afraid of was that he entered the play and moved his heart, but in the end, he became someone else's play. The joys and sorrows were false.

She also remembered those days in Huangzhou, when she was holding an oilpaper bag with cakes in her hand. He took her by the sleeve and walked slowly in the street. It's clearly messy, not a good scene, but you can also clearly feel the arrival of spring.

Spring does not know when it comes, just like I do not know from which moment to start. By the time of discovery, the grass had grown and the birds were flying, and the flowers were red and willows green, which made people reluctant to part with.

She closed her eyes.

Just then, the sound of the breeze and the moon outside rang out: "girl, girl, master Ye San and master Ye Biao have come to see you!"

Jiang Li was surprised. It took only half an hour for her post to be sent to the Ye family. I thought Ye Mingyu and them would not come today, but I didn't expect Ye Mingyu to come so soon. I think they got the post and almost didn't stop. They rushed over immediately.

Jiang Li couldn't help laughing after being surprised. She is still a little unaccustomed, but think about it, if Xue Zhao and Xue Huaiyuan were replaced, they would naturally come here nonstop after learning that Xue Fangfei had been kidnapped and returned. Family members are like this. Sincere worry and false worry are different in the end.

Jiang Li opened the room and saw Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie coming from outside the yard. Behind them, Haitang and Xue Huaiyuan also came.

Seeing Jiang Li, ye Mingyu waved at Jiang Li from a distance and said, "ah Li! Hey, ah Li!"

Jiang Li laughed and said, "uncle."

When the party arrived, ye Mingyu grabbed Jiang Li, looked at her up and down, and said, "ah Li, are you all right? Have you been out for so long? Have you been injured? Where are the thieves now? Have they done anything to you? Hey, if you knew this, you should have taught you some Kung Fu at the beginning, and you wouldn't have been so easily abducted."

Jiang Li interrupted him with a smile, "I'm really fine. Uncle, cousin, Mr. Xue, come and sit in the room first. Snow white, pour tea."

When the party arrived at the house, the originally spacious room was immediately filled with people. When snow white came to the hot tea, ye Mingyu didn't mention it. He poured a cup down, took a breath, and said, "ah Li, we just took your post, and immediately rushed over."

"I should have come to Ye Fu to see you." Jiang Li said with a smile, "it's just that my father feels that Yanjing city is still not peaceful at the moment. He asked me not to walk outside, so I can only post to you."

"Your father didn't do well in other things. He did the right thing." Ye Mingyu finally agreed with Jiang Yuanbai once. He said, "don't go out of the house these days. What if those people don't die, and then take you away. I heard that those are the men of King Cheng, dogs, really ambitious traitors. I think he's not only plotting to usurp the throne, but also a little girl!"

Ye Shijie said, "uncle, be careful."

Although everyone can talk about becoming king, it's better to say less about the Korean affairs.

Ye Mingyu said, "I know. I don't want to say anything."

Jiang Li said, "the thief who kidnapped me is dead. Uncle, don't worry."

Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li and asked in a low voice, "did he make it?"

When he said "he", naturally, he meant Su Guogong. Jiang Li didn't hide it from Jiang Yuanbai or Ye Mingyu. As early as in Tongxiang, ye Mingyu had seen the relationship between Jiang Li and Ji Heng.

Jiang Li nodded.

"Ah Li," Ye Mingyu frowned and asked, "what does he mean? Later, I asked Shijie, this man is not a good man in the court. He... Won't he take a fancy to you?"

Tong'er stared wide, and ye Mingyu spoke too directly and tactlessly. Even Xue Huaiyuan and Haitang couldn't help glancing slightly when they heard it.

"Nothing, uncle," Jiang Li had to calm down. "He just happened to pass by and recognized me. As for saving me, it was probably because of my father's relationship. The things in Chaozhong were very complicated. The origin of it was probably only clear to my father, and I didn't know the specific reason. But it couldn't be because of what my uncle said. I really didn't mention what kind of person he hadn't met."

"What do you mean? It's really not worth mentioning." Ye Mingyu was unhappy when he heard the speech, and said, "you are a girl of our Ye family. Don't belittle yourself. I also want to say that he is just good-looking, just cheating the little girl. Ah Li, you are so smart, you don't just look at people's appearance, and you won't be confused by him, will you?"

Ye Mingyu stared at Jiang Li, as if he wanted Jiang Li to give him a reassurance.

Jiang Li couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to say, "yes, uncle, I won't be confused by him."

Jiang Li felt very strange. When she didn't have these thoughts, everything seemed to be calm. When she found her mind and was distressed about it, it seemed that all people found it overnight, whether Jiang Yuanbai, tong'er, or Ye Mingyu now, were reminding her that they were not the same people, and naturally they couldn't come together.

Why bother? In fact, she knows better than everyone.

Ye Mingyu asked what happened to Jiang Li in Huangzhou City. What is the situation in Huangzhou City now. To Jiang Li's surprise, she had thought that ye Mingyu would ask for more information about Ji Heng, but she never thought that ye Mingyu would stop talking after just reminding Jiang Li. Jiang Li turned to think, also, ye Mingyu was not a member of the court. Naturally, he couldn't think about Ji Heng's other things.

Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie were here until the evening before they planned to go back. When they asked carefully, Jiang Li answered patiently. Xue Huaiyuan also asked Jiang Li some words, and Jiang Li answered them one by one. She originally decided to go to the Ye family to confess her identity to Xue Huaiyuan after returning to Beijing this time. At present, Jiang Yuanbai won't let her out of the house. If I say it here now, I'm afraid that the walls have ears, and if Xue Huaiyuan looks different after listening to it, it will arouse the suspicion of the people in the house. Jiang Li had to restrain herself and planned to go to Ye's house and make it clear with Xue Huaiyuan after a while.

It's getting late. The Ye family can't stay here. Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie are going back. Jiang Li sent them to the door, but Xue Huaiyuan suddenly stood in front of his desk and didn't move.

Jiang Li felt strange and went over to ask, "what's the matter with Mr. Xue?" Her voice disappeared in her throat. Xue Huaiyuan looked down at the thing in his hand. What he was holding was the jade pendant engraved with civet cat.

Just now, ye Mingyu came in a hurry, and Jiang Li also left in a hurry. Without paying attention, he put the jade pendant on the table. At this moment, Xue Huaiyuan saw it. He took the jade pendant and looked at Jiang Li tremblingly. His tone was a little inexplicably excited and said, "Miss Jiang, this jade pendant... How did this jade pendant come from?"

Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie stopped and looked at Xue Huaiyuan puzzled. They didn't know why Xue Huaiyuan was angry about such a jade pendant. Seeing this, tong'er was surprised and said, "girl, this is not our pawnshop..."

"I redeemed it at the pawnshop." Jiang Li interrupted tong'er, "at that time, I saw this jade pendant in the pawnshop. I thought the civet cat carving on it was very beautiful, so I redeemed it."

She can't tell the truth in front of Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie here.

Ye Mingyu asked, "Mr. Xue, what happened to the jade pendant?"

"This is Ali's jade pendant..." Xue Huaiyuan murmured, "the civet cat on it was chiseled by me..."

Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie were stunned. Only then did they react that Xue Huaiyuan said "Ali" rather than "Ali". Ye Mingyu's heart was big, and he didn't want to go anywhere else. He just laughed and said, "really? That's really predestined. We a Li and Xue family are probably predestined in our previous lives, and we can also meet this!"

Begonia moved her lips and didn't say anything. Tong'er looked puzzled, but YeShiJie looked at Jiang Li strangely.

"Miss Jiang..." Xue Huaiyuan looked at her and said, "can you sell this jade pendant to me... Ali's things, I want to take them back."

Jiang Li said, "since it's Miss Fangfei's thing, Mr. Xue can take it away. There's no need to pay any silver." She wanted to comfort Xue Huaiyuan, but she didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, Miss Jiang." Xue Huaiyuan carefully put the cup of jade pendant in his hand, as if he had obtained a priceless treasure, which was precious and important to hide. He looked at Jiang Li and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Jiang Li knew that Xue Huaiyuan probably wanted to ask what she had said before and tell herself what the origin of the Xue family was. But Xue Huaiyuan also realized that now was not the time to speak, so he had to hold back.

After ye Mingyu and his party left, tong'er stood in the room, looked at Jiang Li and asked, "girl, didn't you let the maid redeem the jade pendant? How did you know it was Miss Xue's thing from the beginning?"

She couldn't figure it out. Jiang Li obviously did it consciously, but told Xue Huaiyuan that she redeemed it after seeing it unintentionally. Tong'er didn't understand why Jiang Li lied, and she didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Li's redemption of this jade pendant. How did she know it was Xue Fangfei's thing in the morning? Before that, Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei had never met.

Jiang Li said, "yes, I knew it from the beginning. I think Mr. Xue also knew it."

In the end, it was her father and daughter. In front of Xue Huaiyuan, she would not try her best to hide it, and even hoped that Xue Huaiyuan would find her differences, so more and more clues leaked. My father is a smart man. I'm afraid he's really suspicious this time.

She should try to confess to her father as soon as possible.

……

In the government house, Ji Heng's return to the house seems to be less noticeable than Jiang Li. It's natural that he often goes out of the city to do business. Sometimes he doesn't come back every ten days and a half months. Even veteran Ji is used to it. Naturally, it's nothing.

Instead, the Starling hanging in the cage under the eaves, seeing Ji Xuan coming back, warmly welcomed her and said, "beauty! Beauty!"

This starling looks like a lecherous embryo, but it's also a pity that Ji Hong is particularly tolerant of it, and no one pinches it to death. This further contributed to its arrogance, as if there was someone behind it. He pecked the servants in the yard all over, and took the meat from Zhao Ke's plate last time.

Everyone is still afraid to touch it.

Starling's voice was so loud that the whole yard heard it. Naturally, it also includes situ Jiujiu. Speaking of it, this starling is probably a bully. For situ Jiujiu, it is determined not to be presumptuous, not even close to it, and far away from her. It is also known that situ Jiujiu is also a ruthless role. If he is impatient and throws a poisonous cigarette, his life will be lost. Therefore, Starling meets the heaven and the earth in the government house, has to curry favor with Ji Huiliu and stay away from situ Jiujiu.

Situ septemberis picking flowers in the flower garden. The flowers here grow very fast and need to be supervised. Situ will pick some plants every three or five times in September to refine medicine, which is much simpler than going to the trouble of finding materials.

Hearing that Lin Yao was held by others, he proudly showed it to situ Jiujiu and said, "this is my little apprentice, Lin Yao. Come, little apprentice, this is situ sister."

Situ Jiujiu just glanced at Lin Yao. Lin Yao shivered with fear and hid behind Wen Renyao. Situ Jiujiu said, "like you, coward."

"You are too fierce to scare the child." Wen Renyao pulled Lin Yao out and said, "Xiao Yao, let's go, don't worry about this fierce sister. Remember, the flowers in this flower bed are poisonous, and you must stay away from them on weekdays. Except for the poisonous sister just now, no one will easily go to you. Although these words look good, they are actually very toxic. Once poisoned, your life will be lost, and the gods will be difficult to save."

Lin Yao nodded obediently.

Situ Jiujiu endured, put the picked flowers and plants into the box, and walked to the refining pharmacy. Wen Ji and Zhao Ke stood on the side, and Zhao Ke asked, "Miss situ, what about the boy... Who was sent before?"

"It seems that there is no problem, but his martial arts are completely useless, and he can't stand up. If Ji Chen wants him to join you, it's absolutely impossible." Situ Jiujiu answered.

This answer is very absolute, but Zhao Ke and Wen Ji have no doubt. This is also true. Besides serious medical skills, situ Jiujiu also has various eccentric prescriptions. If situ Jiujiu says it's hopeless, no one in the world can cure him well.

"What about now?" Zhao Ke asked Wen Ji to make up his mind, "do you want to tell adults? Adults have forgotten this person? I haven't heard him mention it. I can't always let him live in the government, and I don't know his identity."

"You can inquire about him carefully," situ September raised his eyebrows. "I told him that his legs could not get better, but he was still trying. Several times he even wanted to get out of bed behind my back, of course, it was impossible. I think he is an obsessive person, different from ordinary people."

Zhao Ke said, "since you are in Princess Yongning's private prison, you must be someone who has a holiday with Princess Yongning. Just follow this point."

Situ Jiujiu: "that's your business." With these words, she took the box and left, but when she came to the door of the hut next to the refining pharmacy, she paused and went in.

In the room, the boy named a Zhao was reading a book in his hand. Situ September saw what landscape travel notes he was reading, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. It's clear that his legs can't be better. If you look at the significance of these, you can't walk through them one by one. On the contrary, it will become more and more ugly.

The boy didn't look sad at all. Seeing situ Jiujiu coming in, he put down his book and smiled at situ Jiujiu, "doctor situ."

"If you continue to recuperate from the trauma on your body, it will be all right in a short time."

"Thank you, doctor situ." Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have been injured in the past, but it really takes a long time to recuperate. It took only such a short time for Dr. situ to recover. It can be seen that Dr. situ's medical skills are excellent."

"I'm not a real doctor. You don't have to compliment me so much." Situ Jiujiu said, "I want to ask you something. What deep hatred do you have with Princess Yongning?"

Ah Zhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to expect situ September to ask so. In the past few days, situ September was cold. He talked with him very little, and most of it was about his injury. He didn't take the initiative to ask about his family. The servant of the government brought him food and water, but he didn't talk to him much. Ah Zhao didn't know what was going on outside, only that his enemy was dead.

"She killed my family." Zhao said.

Situ Jiujiu nodded, as if he was not surprised by the answer.

"I also want to ask Dr. situ about something," a Zhao said. "Last time, Dr. situ said that Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were executed for the crime of killing for life, but he didn't say which family it was. Excuse me..."

Situ September replied, "that's a lot. They heard that they killed a lot of people, but the most important thing is that Yongning dug up the eyes of today's Shoufu family's young lady and locked her in a private prison. Only when she offended Shoufu would she be imprisoned."
