Chapter 1169 "A Good Destination"
His attitude was neither as serious as stated in the letter, nor as kind as before.
Jiang Xue's heart sank. It seemed that there was something wrong with this letter.
"Sister, what's your attitude? Uncle was sick, and you weren't around to take care of him. Now that you're back, you don't even say a word of concern?"
Jiang Li was fanning the flames on the side, and her acting skills were comparable to those of an Oscar-winning actress.
Jiang Xue sneered: "My concern may not be appreciated by my uncle."
"You!" Jiang Li was so angry that her face turned pale, but she couldn't find any words to refute.
"Okay, stop talking."
Master Jiang waved his hand impatiently: "Xiaoxue, since you are back, stay in the mansion and don't cause trouble again."
Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, this Jiang Mansion was really a "good home" for her.
In the next few days, Jiang Xue's situation in the Jiang Mansion was difficult.
Jiang Li made things difficult for her at every turn, and the Jiang residence's chief steward, relying on the fact that he was bribed by Jiang Li, set up obstacles everywhere to prevent her from understanding the affairs of the residence.
Jiang Xue was extremely frustrated, but she still couldn't find a breakthrough.
She felt like a trapped animal, trapped in this gorgeous cage, unable to escape.
At night, Jiang Xue sat alone in her dormitory, silently missing Xiao Zhan.
The moonlight poured down like water, covering the entire garden in a hazy glow.
Jiang Xue wandered alone in the garden, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She thought of what happened at Jiang's house during the day and couldn't help feeling upset.
Jiang Li's difficulties and the obstruction of the Jiang Mansion's butler made her feel overwhelmed.
What worries her even more is that she has not yet found out the truth about the letter and the secrets hidden behind the Jiang Mansion.
"Hey, when will this day end?"
Jiang Xue sighed, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, her heart filled with longing.
She missed Xiao Zhan's warm embrace, his gentle voice, and even more, he stood firmly by her side to protect her from the wind and rain.
"Thinking about me?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.
Jiang Xue turned around suddenly and saw that Xiao Zhan had come behind her without her knowing when, and was looking at her tenderly.
"Yun Che! Why are you here?"
Jiang Xue was surprised and happy. She quickly took a few steps forward and threw herself into Xiao Zhan's arms.
Xiao Zhan hugged her tightly, feeling the warmth from her body, his heart filled with pity.
"Fool, do you think I would let you stay here alone?"
"But, your identity..." Jiang Xue said with some concern.
"Shhh."
Xiao Zhan gently covered her mouth: "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have arranged it. No one will find out."
Jiang Xue raised her head and looked into Xiao Zhan's deep eyes, her heart filled with emotion.
She knew that Xiao Zhan had paid a lot for her.
"Yun Che, thank you."
Jiang Xue's voice was a little choked.
"Silly, why are you still saying thank you to me?"
Xiao Zhan gently wiped away the tears from her eyes: "From now on, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth.
The moonlight sprinkled on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.
"By the way, Yun Che, I received a letter from my uncle, saying that he was seriously ill and asked me to go back to visit him."
Jiang Xue told Xiao Zhan what happened during the day.
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan frowned slightly. "It seems that the Jiang family is indeed restless."
"Yeah, I always feel that things are not that simple."
Jiang Xue nodded: "I suspect this letter is fake, they want to use me."
"Whatever conspiracy they have, I will help you find it out."
Xiao Zhan said firmly: "I will never let them hurt you."
"Yeah!" Jiang Xue nodded vigorously, her heart filled with strength.
With Xiao Zhan by her side, she no longer felt afraid.
The two stayed in the garden for a long time, and only reluctantly parted when it was late at night.
“Yun Che, be careful when you go back.” Jiang Xue said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "As for you, you should be more careful. Send someone to inform me if anything happens."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Xue nodded.
Xiao Zhan turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.
Jiang Xue looked in the direction he left, her heart filled with warmth.
"Hey, isn't this our princess? Why is she having a secret meeting with a strange man in the middle of the night?"
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice broke the silence of the night.
Jiang Xue turned around suddenly and saw that Jiang Li had been standing behind her, looking at her with a mocking expression.
Jiang Xue's face darkened instantly. "Jiang Li, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Am I talking nonsense? I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false?"
Jiang Li sneered: "Why, are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?"
Jiang Xue suppressed her anger and said coldly, "I advise you to keep your mouth shut, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Oh, I'm so scared!"
Jiang Li said sarcastically, "Your Highness, you are really majestic! But how long do you think you can remain so majestic?"
Jiang Xue didn't want to talk to her anymore and turned to leave.
"Why, you want to leave now?" Jiang Li blocked her way: "I haven't finished talking yet!"
Jiang Xue suddenly stopped and stared at Jiang Li with cold eyes.
"What do you want to say?"
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Xue's cold eyes and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
But she still pretended to be calm and said, "I just want to remind you, don't forget your identity! You are just a princess who got married in place of someone else. What qualifications do you have to show off here?"
"It's not your turn to judge my identity!"
Jiang Xue said coldly: "Also, I warn you, don't challenge my bottom line again!"
"Hmph, just wait and see!" Jiang Li left after saying something harsh.
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Li's departing back, she clenched her fists and swore to herself: I must find out the family conspiracy and teach you a lesson!
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Li's back as he left triumphantly. She took a deep breath and suppressed her surging emotions.
She disdained to engage in verbal disputes with Jiang Li. What she wanted was the truth about how the Jiang family had tricked her back this time, to clear up the mystery of the collusion between her family and the court!
She turned around silently and walked straight to the study of the Jiang Mansion, where some important letters and documents of the Jiang family were kept, which might provide her with some clues.
However, when she arrived at the door of the study, she found that it was locked and there were two people guarding it.
Jiang Xue ordered the two people, "Open the study."
The two guards looked embarrassed: "Your Highness, this... the old master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the study without permission."
Jiang Xue sneered. The old ancestor of the Jiang family had indeed begun to guard against her.
It seems that things are more complicated than she thought.
"Go, call the chief steward of the Jiang Mansion."
