Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 128 Part 2: Discovery

Ji Heng’s sudden careless sentence had made everyone present turn it over countless times in their heads. He indifferently said, “Good medicine tastes bitter, loyal advice does not sound pleasing to the ears. Although Miss Jiang second’s words were overstepping propriety, it still made sense. Otherwise, if the current dynasty’s faithful officials are abandoned and treacherous court officials are appointed, afraid the country will no longer be a country.”

The young man was handsome, looking like an evildoer. The sneer he had while saying this carried a bit of threat which was effective immediately. At least Emperor Hong Xiao listened to it. Emperor Hong Xiao said, “Duke Su is right, “I” am not someone who can’t listen to the words of others. Beloved official Jiang,” he said to Jiang Yuan Bai, “your daughter is raised very well.”

Jiang Yuan Bai promptly thanked the emperor for the favor, yet he was puzzled inside. Their Jiang family and Duke Su did not have the slightest dealing in the past, Jiang Li and Ji Heng also did not have any friendship. Why would Duke Su, this moody person, suddenly help Jiang Li speak?

Unless….. He looked at Jiang Li’s clean face. She was no longer that arrogant and willful little girl sent to Mount Qingcheng. She had gradually grown up and turned into a young lady with a lovely and charming appearance. Elegant, graceful and charming like the blooming snow white pear blossoms in spring, fresh and clean, attracting people’s love.

No, no, no, Jiang Yuan Bai immediately dispelled the absurd idea in his mind. Duke Su himself was born gorgeous and had seen many beautiful females. Jiang Li could at most be regarded as a small beauty, afraid she did not even enter Ji Heng’s eyes. Moreover, Ji Heng, this person, was very sinister, really not a good match. Although he did not have a deep familial bond with Jiang Li, in the end, she was his own flesh and blood. He did not wish for Jiang Li to have a bleak and miserable ending and be schemed by others, which would ultimately implicate the Jiang family.

He was lost in his own imagination when among the court officials, someone suddenly opened his mouth to speak, “Xue Ling Yun, isn’t this Xue Ling Yun?”

Xue Ling Yun? Everyone was baffled.

Emperor Hong Xiao asked, “Who’s Xue Ling Yun?”

The official cupped his hands in obeisance and said, “When the former emperor was still present, Xue Ling Yun repaired the canals and did irrigation works in Yanjing. The previous emperor saw he was rather talented and promoted him to a position in the Ministry of Works. However, Xue Ling Yun only worked there for a year before he resigned. Seeing Xue Huaiyuan today, this lower official discovered that this Xue Huaiyuan looks exactly the same as Xue Ling Yun. It’s just that he had aged so much, so this lower official could only guess that Xue Huaiyuan is Xue Ling Yun. “

Xue Ling Yun? This name was unfamiliar to the people in the palace hall. However, the water conservancy method in the capital was known to everyone. A person who was able to lead such a project was naturally a talented person. Why did he not want to work in the Ministry of Work and become a small county deputy?

Jiang Li was surprised. No wonder the subordinates who had followed his father for many years said before that her father had the talent to help the world yet settled down in an insignificant Tongxiang. If he was not disgusted with the practice in officialdom, he would have achieved meteoric success in his career long ago. She often felt weird, father had such a powerful ability and could see and understand clearly the powers and the small and big things happening in the court. Why would he only become a county deputy?

As it turned out, it was not his luck, but that father had once achieved a position as a big official, but believed that he was not suitable to be in officialdom. The courtiers in Northern Yan either overturned each other or colluded with each other. For her father, it was better to be a small county deputy and benefit the common people.

So he even changed his name from the Ling Yun meaning rising clouds of “Xue Ling Yun”, to the Huaiyuan of looking at the moon in the distance of “Xue Huaiyuan”.

When Jiang Li and Xue Zhao were born, Xue Huaiyuan was no longer working in the Ministry of Work and he had changed his name. As a result, Jiang Li did not know about this past. She only knew about this when Xue Huaiyuan’s old acquaintance spoke up just now.

This old official should have had a pretty good relationship with Xue Huaiyuan at that time. Now seeing his old friend, he actively mentioned the reason for Xue Huaiyuan’s resignation then. Having aspirations but unable to realize them was frustrating. Everyone heard and felt deeply moved and very regretful.

Emperor Hong Xiao said, “Such a talented person, but was taken as a criminal and sent to prison, leading to such a miserable state. This is my fault, and Northern Yan’s loss.”

All the courtiers knelt down.

Jiang Li’s heart moved. Now that Xue Huaiyuan’s past matters were revealed, it actually helped her with the present affair. She did not think much and immediately said, Your Majesty, Xue Huaiyuan ended like this was all brought by Feng Yu Tang using public office to avenge private wrongs. The female subject asks for Feng Yu Tang to be punished severely!”

“Naturally must be severely punished!” Emperor Hong Xiao snorted coldly. ““I” was also unaware that under the foot of the emperor, there’s still such a savage person who framed a loyal person!”

“Master Feng’s courage was not small,” Jiang Li said, “he did not just set up a loyal person, he still privately mined in Dongshan. The court has issued a decree many years ago, personal mining without approval is prohibited and tantamount to treason, the deed is punishable!”

Feng Yu Tang was already drenched in cold sweat, nearly fainting.

“But Master Feng is really strange. He has accumulated so much wealth in Tongxiang, but still fancy more gold. He clearly did not know his limits and was reckless. This female subject searched inside the Feng residence and found a letter with instruction for Feng Yu Tang to torture Xue Huaiyuan. But the sender of the letter was also very strange…..” Jiang Li smiled slightly, “The seal on the letter was the current dynasty’s Princess Yongning’s seal!”

After singing such a long drama, she finally reached the point!

“Audacious!” Cheng Wang’s complexion was ashen, “belittling a princess of a country, do you know what is the charge for this? This can chop your head!” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

“His Royal Highness Cheng Wang does not need to worry,” Jiang Li had no fear at all and coldly replied, “this female subject merely stated a fact, not convicting the princess at all. Naturally, this letter could be faked, in fact, this female subject also believed that this was a trap.”

Emperor Hong Xiao stared at Jiang Li. In the memorial presented by Ye Shijie, Princess Yongning was involved in it. Jiang Li mentioning this at this moment was also within his expectation. Since Jiang Li had brought it up, why did she deny it herself?

“Princess Yongning is unrelated in any way to the Xue family, also does not have any connection, so why would she prompt Feng Yu Tang to harm the Xue family, ordering Xue Huaiyuan to be sent to jail. This female subject asked around and found that in the Xue family’s household, Xue Huaiyuan only has a daughter and a son. His son Xue Zhao was killed by a bandit last year in the capital. His daughter Xue Fang Fei is the wife of an official in the secretariat, Master Shen, who also died of an illness half a year ago. Neither Xue Zhao nor Xue Fang Fei, and the Shen family, all have any connection. From this, the female subject sees that it must not be treated as true!”

I’m sorry for the delay!!
