In the evening, Ji Tinglan, who had just seen Prince Chun off, hurried to the west wing after learning that Su Li had woken up.
He was even more delighted to learn that Su Li had recovered his memory.
"Ali, are you okay?"
A gentle and joyful tone.
Ji Tinglan's eyes were full of smiles.
Su Li sighed softly: "Pei Ji, long time no see..."
She was talking about herself before she lost her memory. Ji Tinglan naturally understood the meaning behind her words and murmured, "It's been a long time indeed..."
It feels like a lifetime.
He once thought that they were separated by life and death, and he once thought that he would never see her again.
It wasn't until he saw her in Pingjin that he was truly convinced that Ah Li was still alive. He wasn't deceiving himself. She was truly alive, carrying the hidden arrow and ruby earrings he had given her, and living well...
Thinking back to when he lost his memory and firmly believed that he was Mo Qingcheng, and then all the speculations he made, Su Li couldn't help but laugh.
She raised the corners of her mouth: "Pei Ji, let me hug you."
As she spoke, she slowly walked up to him and hugged him gently.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Ye looked at each other, laughed, and tactfully left the yard.
Ji Tinglan seemed a little slow to react. After a moment of stunned silence, he was filled with joy. He then raised his hand and gently hugged Su Li back.
"Ali, it's great that you're back..."
"Yeah, I think so too..."
When she first lost her memory, although she worked every day and had goals in mind, she always felt a lack of a sense of belonging to this world.
Maybe it was because she had no place to live at that time, maybe it was because she had no one to care about, or maybe it was because she... uh, didn't have enough money.
Until now, that feeling of not belonging has finally disappeared.
Now she has parents, family, children, friends, money and shops, and a husband who is so outstanding and handsome. How can she not have a sense of belonging?
"How's the matter with the Xishan Mine?"
Su Li patted Ji Tinglan, signaling him to let go.
Although Ji Tinglan was reluctant to let go, thinking that he and A Li had a long future together, he let go obediently: "Xiao Shaoxing admitted that he was the only one responsible for the Xishan Mine, and he left a confession and committed suicide..."
"Without Xiao Shaoxing, there is insufficient evidence to prove that Prince Ning has a direct connection with the Xishan Mine..."
"So Prince Ning is alright?"
Ji Tinglan nodded.
"What about the golden-masked man who assassinated us at the post station that day?"
"That wasn't Prince Ning's golden-masked figure. Xiao Shaoxing knew he couldn't get the evidence back from me, so he had his assassin disguise himself as the golden-masked figure and deliberately leave a flaw to exonerate Prince Ning. He had planned this long ago, to die to protect Prince Ning and also to preserve the Qingping Marquis's mansion..."
"How is the Qingping Marquis's Mansion now?"
"Half of the wealth of the Marquis of Qingping's mansion was confiscated."
"That's all?"
"That's all. Concubine Xiao has pleaded for mercy..."
Su Li sneered, Concubine Xiao, Xiao Shaoxing, what a good trick.
However, the Qingping Marquis' Mansion was the in-laws of Prince Ning, and Xiao Shaoxing was his right-hand man, so it would not be a loss if he died.
As for Concubine Xiao, let's see how long she can remain proud...
Ji Tinglan continued, "Yesterday, Earl Qingping brought Xiao Shaoxing's concubine's son back home and registered him under the name of Xiao Shaoxing's wife, making him the next Earl to inherit the title."
"Li Yuzhi?"
Ji Tinglan raised his eyebrows, thinking that A Li already knew Li Yuzhi's identity.
But at the beginning, she didn't tell him that Li Yuzhi was Xiao Shaoxing's concubine. Was it to protect him?
I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart: "He is now Xiao Yuzhi."
After a pause, he asked, "Ali, why didn't you tell me Xiao Yuzhi's true identity when we were at the Xishan Mine?"
Most of the time, when he had questions for Su Li, he would ask directly, of course, in different ways.
For example, now, even though he pretended to be calm and acted as if he was just asking a question, Su Li could still tell from his slightly pursed lips and slightly sour look that he was jealous.
Feeling like teasing him, Su Li tilted her head slightly and looked at him teasingly: "Ji Tinglan, are you jealous?"
Ji Tinglan was stunned, as if his true feelings were spoken of, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.
His eyes flickered and for a moment he didn't dare to look Su Li in the eye.
Su Li chuckled and then burst into laughter: "You are so cute, hahahaha..."
Ji Tinglan laughed so hard that he was embarrassed and annoyed. He admitted directly: "I am jealous. He likes you, and you still protect him..."
Xiao Yuzhi is smart and good-looking. He has been with A Li, who has lost her memory, in the mountains for so long. A Li has also concealed her true identity from him. How can he not be worried?
Sometimes he even wondered, if Prince Ning had not intended to poison the slaves and cooks in the mine, and if Xiao Yuzhi did not have to carry out this order, would A Li treat him differently?
