Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 125 Part 3: Furious

In the princess mansion, the cup that Princess Yongning threw shattered with a bang.

She was probably very angry, and her hand was injured by the cup’s fragments. The subordinates at the side saw this and were greatly startled. If something happened to Princess Yongning, they, as the subordinates, would be the unlucky ones.

Shen Yurong beckoned with his hand and said, “Get the wound medicine.”

Only then did the subordinates breathe out in relief and went to look for a wound medicine. Princess Yongning had a spoiled temperament and no one could manage her. Only in front of this scholar assistant, young Master Shen, did Princess Yongning curb her arrogance and their lives as subordinates had become much better. Young master Shen treated people gently, good-naturedly, and never made things difficult for them. Occasionally, when they made mistakes, young master Shen still helped them and persuaded Princess Yongning not to make things difficult for them. All the people in the princess mansion felt if Princess Yongning’s husband in the future was this young master Shen, it would be a happy occasion for the people working inside.

Soon, the wound medicine arrived. Shen Yurong gestured for the subordinates to go out, then he pulled Princess Yongning’s hand and put her hand on his leg before carefully applying the medicine.

Princess Yongning was moved by his gentleness. He was always like this, from time to time he would be cold and detached, and from time to time he would be considerate, making her unclear. However, her heart was still stifled with anger and she hatefully said, “Jiang Li!”

Nowadays, it had spread in the entire Yanjing city that the second miss from the Jiang family assisted the people in Tongxiang to rehabilitate the previous county deputy, Xue Huaiyuan. Princess Yongning did not know before and was thinking of urging Liu taifei to facilitate her marriage with Shen Yurong.

Liu taifei did not like Shen Yurong very much. After all, Shen Yurong was someone with a wife before. Moreover, even though Shen Yurong was becoming more prosperous with each passing day, he did not have a family clan to assist him. Liu taifei still hoped that Princess Yongning could marry into an aristocratic family, well-matched in terms of social status.

Princess Yongning originally thought that this was already a done deal and was happily preparing for her marriage. As a result, she did not care to inquire about the matters happening in Tongxiang. Princess Yongning only found out about this when the news was passed to the princess mansion that Jiang Li had returned to the capital yesterday, then went to Chang’An Gate, struck the drum, cried injustice, and had the Ministry of Justice conduct a trial.

Princess Yongning flew into a rage. She thought Jiang Li had died long ago in Tongxiang. When Feng Yu Tang wrote to say that Jiang Yuan Bai’s daughter came to Tongxiang, wanted to transfer the Xue family’s case, and thinking of redressing the injustice, she had already instructed Feng Yu Tang to kill Jiang Li. frёeωebɳovel.com

What was Jiang Li’s identity? Even if she was Jiang Yuan Bai’s daughter, Princess Yongning was not afraid in the slightest. Firstly, the current Jiang family was not like how it used to be. Secondly, Jiang Li was not very favored in the Jiang residence. Tongxiang was so far away, who would know what happened. Even if she was captured by Feng Yu Tang, she just dispatched people to silence them and others would not be able to get hold of anything that could implicate her.

But Princess Yongning did not expect Feng Yu Tang to be so useless, not just unable to kill Jiang Li, but instead, Jiang Li was able to catch his handle. What’s more, Jiang Li would actually take it further and went as far as to bring the people of Tongxiang to cry injustice in the capital.

Of course, when Princess Yongning learned of this, she promptly sent people to Chang’An Gate to silence Feng Yu Tang. However, Jiang Li’s people were so good and the assassins she sent were surprisingly unable to act.

When it was night, Princess Yongning again sent people to go. It was unexpectedly watertight outside the guest house where the Tongxiang people stayed, and it was another failed attempt. Princess Yongning was not a fool, how could Jiang Li find such powerful people. Her tall uncle was at best just running through the rivers and lakes, it’s impossible for him to fight with her people. This time, Princess Yongning faintly felt there was someone supporting Jiang Li in the background.

She thought about it but had no clues. Hitting the walls in succession had already made Princess Yongning extremely vexed. She was not at all afraid that Feng Yu Tang would say her name, Feng Yu Tang neither had the guts nor any evidence. She was just resentful in her heart, Jiang Li actually saved and took Xue Huaiyuan out.

That’s Xue Huaiyuan, Xue Fang Fei’s father! She wanted to kill the Xue family down to the last one. She would be annoyed if any of the Xue family’s people escape!

Originally, Princess Yongning had already loathed Jiang Li. Xue Fang Fei played the guqin very well and Jiang Li also played the guqin very well. Xue Fang Fei had outstanding talent and learning, and Jiang Li got the first position in Ming Yi Hall examination. Jiang Li and Xue Fang Fei had too many similarities. Every time she saw Jiang Li, it would make Princess Yongning annoyed.

Now, Jiang Li had even messed up her plan and saved Xue Huaiyuan! It’s so hateful!

“Yongning, let this matter pass.” Shen Yurong said.

Princess Yongning raised her head, looked at him and asked, “Shen dear, what do you mean by that?”

“Don’t get involved in Xue Huaiyuan’s case. Even if Jiang Li brought the people of Tongxiang to complain, it will not implicate you. If you caused another disturbance, then it’s not certain.”

There’s a “thump” in her heart; she looked at Shen Yurong for a while and did not say a word.

She did not tell Shen Yurong about the Xue family. Inciting Feng Yu Tang to imprison Xue Huaiyuan, she did not tell Shen Yurong. Whether Shen Yurong was aware in private, Yongning was also unclear. However, Yongning guessed that Shen Yurong did not know, because with his temperament, if he knew, he would not just watch without lifting a finger. He still had feelings for Xue Fang Fei, so how could he just watch unfeelingly as Xue Fang Fei’s father suffered hardship?

Yongning being in a hurry sending people to silence people when Jiang Li brought Xue Huaiyuan to enter the capital, aside from so she would not be involved, it was more because she was unwilling to let Shen Yurong become aware. Naturally, it was impossible as the noise caused by this was so big. No matter how, Shen Yurong would know.

However, he gently and calmly stated this, and without knowing why, there was a layer of goosebumps all over Princess Yongning’s body.

He already knew, he was even aware of her secret instructions to Feng Yu Tang on how to treat Xue Huaiyuan. Yet, no idea what his plan was, but he did not stop her at all and just watched her do everything quietly.

Princess Yongning was suddenly confused, this man, does he really love Xue Fang Fei? If he does, can he be this heartless? Then does he love her? Is he also this cruel towards her?

“Yongning,” his voice contained a kind of rational tenderness, “I don’t wish for you to meet with any mishaps.”

He rarely said such pleasant words. Even though Princess Yongning knew that he was of great erudition, able to write good essays, saying one or two pleasant words should not be a hard thing, but he was always very stingy. Not to mention words of love, even tender words of concern could not be heard every day.

But he said them today, looking at Yongning, and said sincerely.

As a result, the confusion and uneasiness in Yongning’s heart was immediately swept away, and she once again sank in his affectionate eyes.

“I just felt there’s something strange about this,” Princess Yongning said. “This is nothing but a case in a small town, even if Jiang Li brought people to cry injustice at the Chang’An Gate, it’s not necessary to let the Ministry of Justice hold trial. Even if holding a trial, emperor brother also does not need to personally oversee it. There are countless big and small things happening in Yanjing everyday, it’s impossible to involve emperor brother in all of them. However, the emperor is not just showing interest, but looks like he is taking it seriously.”

“Shen dear, you are smart, can you make out why the emperor is doing this?”

Shen Yurong shook his head.

He really did not know, because the emperor’s move was too abnormal. He couldn’t help thinking it would be good if Xue Fang Fei was still around. With her exceptional intelligence, he could discuss things with her and could perhaps find out the truth.

What a pity, there was only one Xue Fang Fei, and that one had died.

He watched her die with his own eyes.

What a pair, a selfish, evil love brain and an unfeeling, deceitful, rotten jerk.
