Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 115 Part 1: Mine
“Duke, after watching the play for so long, can you come out?”
The clear voice, echoing in the middle of the woods at night with the moon hanging low, practically laying on the branches on the treetops, illuminating Jiang Li’s delicate face.
Her crystal clear eyes not only did not have the panic that she had reached the end of the road. On the contrary, her gaze was far and penetrating, as if she had a well thought out plan.
The black dressed people looked at her. The leader smilingly said, “Second miss does not need to pretend to be mysterious…….”
His voice had not finished when he heard a light laugh coming from deep in the woods and a red figure gradually emerged from the darkness. Under the moonlight, the night seemed darker but the red clothes appeared even more gorgeous. The moonlight fell on the black and gold b.u.t.terflies embroidered in the corners of his gown. Those b.u.t.terflies spread their wings as if about to fly, appearing extremely bewitching at this moment.
Ji Heng walked out neither fast nor slow from the woods, his hand holding a gold thread folding fan, a smile on his lips as he spoke, “Nothing can be hidden from you.”
Jiang Li looked at him, her heart slightly loosened.
Ji Heng often dispatched his subordinates to stare at people. Up and down Tongxiang, there were no affairs that he was not aware of. She believed the matter of Feng Yu Tang’s people and Ji Shuran’s people coming to a.s.sa.s.sinate her was also within his grasp. This person loved watching plays the most, Ji Heng would never miss such a wonderfully presented play.
Regardless of whether it was Ji Heng staring at her or Ji Heng’s subordinate who was staring at her, Jiang Li believed it’s unlikely for them to let her out of their sight. When Ji Shuran’s people came out halfway to kill her, she initially thought that she had no way to retreat. As she was avoiding, she suddenly thought that the person who was following her, the person who had been silent the whole day, could perhaps protect her life.
Even if the person could not protect her, it was also fine to distract the other party.
Fortunately, someone was really following behind her. Even more fortunate was that the person following her turned out to be Ji Heng.
With Ji Heng here, Jiang Li was much more relieved. This was actually a very strange thought. Ji Heng could not be counted as a friend. Up till now, he was an immeasurable and mysterious man. But Jiang Li crossed paths with Ji Heng several times and Ji Heng did not have the intention of harming her. Of course Jiang Li would not think that Ji Heng had tender feelings for women, instead, she thought perhaps there’s something that Ji Heng could exploit from her.
It’s always better to have something that could be used instead of having nothing. As long as Ji Heng was here, she would be able to completely be a.s.sured that in this battle today, the person who died would not be her. Leaving aside the outstanding skill of Ji Heng’s bodyguard, Jiang Li had personally experienced the might of that beautiful gold thread fan in Ji Heng’s hand.
He absolutely was not someone who sat and waited for death. On the contrary, his whole body was full of killing moves. Whoever looked down on him for being beautiful would be severely slapped with danger.
Ji Heng’s appearance immediately attracted the attention of the a.s.sa.s.sins hired by Ji Shuran. The tip of the swords of some of them turned towards Ji Heng.
Jiang Li’s word, “duke”, was not missed by the a.s.sa.s.sins. Moreover, Ji Heng’s looks were too magnificent, too outstanding, a person suddenly coming out from among the dark woods, just like a forest demon, bringing a beautiful danger. Maybe their work as killers made them have a keen intuition for danger, the black dressed leader asked Ji Heng, “Who is your excellency?”
But Ji Heng did not pay attention to them, looked at Jiang Li while smiling and said, “Second miss’s ability to act in a play is even more wonderful.”
“If the play is not wonderful, how can it attract the Lord to come and see.” Jiang Li glanced at the black dressed leader and she smiled more widely. “Lord, their swords are pointing at you.”
Ji Heng, this person, his face was full of smiles but in fact, he was extremely ruthless and heartless with an arrogant temperament. A person pointing a sword at him could be taken as an insult to him.
The black dressed leader had a glimpse of Ji Heng’s eyes and inexplicably wanted to take a step back. The tip of the sword was unconsciously lifted up, always feeling that it was extremely inappropriate.
Ji Heng did not care and only smilingly looked at Jiang Li, “Second miss, there’s no need for misfortune to flow eastward. I’ve already said it, I don’t get involved in plays.”
“Don’t tell me the duke just watched me act in so many plays in vain? Suppose that I lose this life today, the duke won’t be able to watch any more of my plays, won’t there be a bit of pity in your heart?” She looked up to ask.
The girl’s face was clean, fair and tender. Her pair of clever and beautiful eyes seemed to contain boundless appeal. When she used a gentle, soft and pitiful tone to speak, it’s hard even for a deity not to dote on her.
However, Ji Heng was not a deity. He was a demon that was even more unfeeling than a fairy.
He merely looked at Jiang Li while beaming and said, “It is a pity, but I don’t get involved in plays.”
Jiang Li’s praying look was put away in an instant. It’s hard to imagine that she could so quickly step away from the touching mood just now.
Jiang Li looked at Ji Heng, a trace of anger in her heart. In the previous life, when she was Xue Fang Fei, she had a gorgeous face. Although she did not think that it was a big deal, the majority of time that she was outside, due to her good looks, everything was almost always smooth-sailing. If there was any conflict, the other party would not be relentless after looking at her face.
Beauties only need to act spoiled and everything could be grasped. She did not like to use this method, thus Xue Zhao said that she was wasting such a good skin and surprisingly did not fulfill a beautiful woman’s reputation of damaging the country and causing suffering to the people.
Now she actually bent down to others, had no choice but to play along and put out a pitiful and lovely appearance. But either the other party’s heart was too hard or Jiang second miss’s appearance couldn’t be considered as devastatingly beautiful, she unexpectedly did not move the other party even the slightest bit. Instead, she received such a sobering reply.
It’s truly too infuriating.
Ji Heng continued to look at her while smiling. He spoke in an understatement, as if he believed that there was nothing wrong by not saving someone who’s about to lose her life. Under his long and narrow eyes, the bright red tear mole also had unlimited feelings, slowly filling the night with a thick allure.
That black dressed leader seemed to snap out at this moment. He first said to Ji Heng, “Since Your Excellency has no conflict with us, then it’s easy to handle matters.” He once again looked at Jiang Li and said, “Second miss, this person that you are hoping to help you doesn’t seem to have any plans of a.s.sisting you. We won’t waste anymore time, come!” After speaking, it’s unknown whether he was afraid that Ji Heng’s emergence would lead to many dreams at night, he immediately rushed towards Jiang Li. The tip of the sword flashed a silver light and carried murder in the night, shaking the leaves to fall down!
