Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 106: Imprisoned

Merry Christmas!!! 

At the back door of Xi Hua Lou, the female greeting the visitors was still the one that Jiang Li saw last time. She was stunned for a while when she saw Jiang Li and afterwards she immediately smiled and said: "Miss came looking for Qiong Zhi?"

Jiang Li said: "Exactly." Then she handed a silver banknote taken from her sleeve. 

The female did not decline and received the banknote. She said to Jiang Li: "Miss, please follow me." Then she personally took Jiang Li inside towards Qiong Zhi's room.

Each girl in Xi Hua Lou was smart, they knew what they should and should not ask. Although they did not know the relationship between Jiang Li and Qiong Zhi, they would not reject seeing that there was no noise or accident the last time the two of them met. Moreover, Jiang Li was generous so they just conveniently lent a hand.

Thus, Jiang Li was taken to Qiong Zhi's room.

The female smiled and said: "Qiong Zhi is already waiting for you inside, just call me if you have any instructions." Then she retreated.

Jiang Li pushed the door open and entered Qiong Zhi's room.

Perhaps Jiang Li was mistaken, but after not meeting for a few days, Qiong Zhi had become a lot thinner. However, a beauty in the end was a beauty. Even if she was wan and thin, it only made her bearing become more decadent with a different kind of beauty that was not seen before. Just like a safflower that was about to wither, she was even more eye-catching.

Jiang Li guessed, perhaps after Qiong Zhi learned about Xue Zhao's death, she wasted away in these past few days.

"You are here." Qiong Zhi was sitting in front of a table fiddling with a disorderly chessboard. When she heard movements, she did not move and merely looked at her.

Jiang Li closed the door and said: "Yes."

Qiong Zhi stared at her for a while then laughed suddenly. She said: "Before, I said that Xue Zao's guts were big. Now apparently, there's still someone whose guts are bigger. I don't know what the expression of Chief Assistant Jiang, Jiang Yuan Bai, would be if he found out that his daughter is visiting a brothel while in Xiangyang."

She was aware of Jiang Li's identity.

Jiang Li was silent momentarily before stepping forward and sat opposite Qiong Zhi. She said: "You found out."

"Miss Jiang second's generous statement in front of Li Zheng Tang is now spread widely in the entire Xiangyang. It's hard not to know." Qiong Zhi sighed, "I just didn't expect that the person who came looking for me is you, the Jiang family's second miss."

"Don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing." Jiang Li smiled bitterly. She borrowed the Jiang family's reputation to help the Ye family deal with Tong Zhi Yang, at the same time, she exposed her own identity. In the future, whatever she was going to do, it would be hard not to be recognized. Perhaps it was better to be like Ji Heng, nobody knew his identity. Those who knew did not dare to bring him trouble and took the initiative to stay away.

"There's only one thing I want to ask you," Qiong Zhi played with the bracelet on her wrist. There's a little bell carefully hung on the bracelet, along with her movement, it emitted a ding-a-ling sound, extremely skillful. She asked: "How did you get acquainted with the Xue family. I am aware of the past deeds of Miss Jiang second, looking at it, you should not have any relations with the Xue family."

Qiong Zhi was a capable person. Among her benefactors, there were swordsmen, officials, none should be underestimated. That's the reason why Jiang Li asked Qiong Zhi to inquire about the things in Tongxiang. On the contrary, Jiang second miss was also not just an ordinary person. Her affairs, not mentioning Yanjing, even in other parts of Northern Yan, were at least known one or two. Those "glorious achievements", just with a little inquiry would be immediately known. As such, Jiang second miss and the Xue family were two different styles of people that did not belong in the same group. It's understandable if Qiong Zhi doubted that they were acquainted with each other.
