"You mean, I look a lot like your sister?"
Although Jiang Li couldn't believe that she had such an ordinary face, he finally calmed the woman down and learned that the woman's name was Yi Yao, and she was the daughter of the owner of the world's number one manor.
Yi Yao nodded and shook her head, "It's the eyes. My sister's eyes are very similar to my sister's."
Although Yi Yao already knew that she had recognized the wrong person, she still did not let go of Jiang Li's hand, just as Jiang Zhong had been staring at her without taking his eyes off her.
"Third brother, why don't you go and rest first?"
Jiang Li saw that Jiang Zhong's eyes were too exaggerated, and worried that he would scare the girl, so she had no choice but to step aside and whispered, "Don't worry, Third Brother, she won't hurt me."
"I'm not leaving." Jiang Zhong didn't dare to let down his guard and said to Yi Yao, "Although I'm not a wuxia person, I have heard of the No. 1 Manor in the World. If you are really the daughter of the manor owner, why would you appear in the mountains like that? Tell me, who sent you here?!"
Seeing the woman's face change.
But the next moment, the woman started crying before she even opened her mouth.
Moreover, she cried very hard.
"you……"
Jiang Chong rarely dealt with women before, so even when he met a female general on the battlefield, he would fight without saying a word.
This girl is considered a person of the world after all, so why did she start crying like this right away? Jiang Zhong felt at a loss as to what to do when his sister looked at him.
Yi Yao finally stopped until the handkerchief Jiang Li handed to her was completely soaked with tears.
"Ever since that group of people came to the villa, Daddy...he has changed."
Yi Yao still couldn't believe that such a kind father actually killed his sister with his own hands.
"My sister hid me under the bed and fell in front of me. She wouldn't let me out. I saw her telling me to live." Yi Yao's voice was choked with tears, "I took advantage of the chaos in the village and ran away..."
Jiang Zhong's face changed. "A father killed his own daughter with his own hands? How could such a thing happen? Didn't you report it to the police?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Yao looked at Jiang Zhong, staring at him with cold eyes, "Report to the police? If I hadn't, how could I be in this state now?"
When she left the villa, she didn't even think about escaping. She only wanted to avenge her sister!
So, she went straight to the county government office at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, the magistrate, upon hearing her identity, immediately had her arrested, saying, "Effortless! Now we can ask Master Yi for a large sum of money."
Seeing this, Yi Yao ran out immediately. Fortunately, those yamen runners were used to being comfortable, and Yi Yao had some skills, so they actually helped her escape.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhong touched the tip of his nose and dared not look directly at Yi Yao anymore.
Jiang Li felt the woman's hands trembling, leaned over and gently hugged Yi Yao, "It's all over, don't be afraid."
After the woman calmed down, Jiang Li asked, "You said that your father has become completely different since that group of people left? Do you still remember what they looked like? Or, in other words, what strange things did they do?"
Speaking of two completely different people, Jiang Li subconsciously thought of Hua Wentao. If this matter was really related to Mi He, then...
Jiang Li looked at Gu Qingchen, and sure enough, she saw suspicion in the other's eyes.
"They didn't look like people from Daning," Yi Yao recalled with a trembling voice. "The day they arrived, my father was extremely happy. He said that with all those good things, the No. 1 Manor in the World would live up to its name and no one would be able to surpass it."
The woman's face paled as she spoke. "Sister is very skilled. Everyone knows she's the next owner of the manor. But one day, my father beat her in front of all the disciples and said that if she continued to be stubborn, he would abolish her status as the young master."
"nice one?"
Yi Yao nodded slightly. "My sister said that father was crazy. How could he take someone else's blood to improve his skills? I didn't understand, so I secretly went to take a look. I saw... I saw those outsiders holding a strange object and stabbing father's wrist..."
"I was so scared that I ran away..."
The more Yi Yao thought about it, the more regretful she felt. If she had been able to stop them with her sister at that time, the outcome would not have turned out like this.
Patting Yi Yao's head, Jiang Li comforted her, "Silly girl, they must have come prepared. Even if you had taken action at that time, I'm afraid you would have..."
After hearing this, Jiang Li was certain that those people must be from Mihe. Regardless of whether Wu Youjin was behind it, at least she could now guess the purpose of the human experiment.
"Baizhi, you stay here and take good care of Miss Yi."
Yi Yao had just woken up and needed to rest well. Jiang Li whispered a few words in Yi Yao's ear and comforted her for a long time before leaving.
Before leaving, Yi Yao held Jiang Li's hand and asked, "Can I call you...sister?"
She will never forget her sister who protected her with her life, but she is really scared, scared that she will be the only one left in this world.
Jiang Li looked at her for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Of course."
After all, this way, she is no longer Xiaoyao, and this feels great!
Jiang Li happily pulled Gu Qingchen away. She did not forget that there was a patient at home waiting for a dressing change.
Although Mo Qi said that the prince had been injured much more seriously on the battlefield before, he had never looked like this. Jiang Li naturally did not miss the look that Gu Qingchen gave Mo Qi, but she could only smile secretly. What else could she do? She just spoiled him.
"Oh, Miss Yi, Madam has told you that you haven't eaten in a while, so you should eat something thin. I've made you some rice porridge. Please wait a moment."
