The Double-Chapter 712 - 216 Sister-Brother_4

Jiang Li nodded. The body that resembled Xue Zhao’s must have been tampered with by Princess Yongning.

Looking at Xue Zhao, her heart was once again flooded with immense sorrow, "If I had known earlier that you were in the private prison of the Princess’s Mansion, I would have found a way to rescue you. I wouldn’t have let you suffer so much for nothing, even..." She looked at Xue Zhao’s legs, which couldn’t even stand up.

However, Xue Zhao just smiled at her and said, "Sister, I’ve said it before, I still have a life left, and in my view, heaven has already been very kind to me. I thought I would die unknown in the private prison of the Princess’s Mansion, just like all the other people there. I never expected to be rescued, let alone to meet my sister today, and have father also in Yanjing City. Heaven doesn’t cut off all paths; the Almighty has still left a way out for our Xue Family, and hasn’t completely wiped us out. Everyone says that after hardship comes sweetness; having suffered already, the days ahead must surely be good!"

He had always been open-minded and carefree, able to laugh about even this. The more he was like that, the sadder Jiang Li felt.

"Sister, does father know about your identity?" Xue Zhao asked.

Jiang Li paused and then shook her head gently, "I don’t know how to tell him, but these past few days, I’ve been planning to be honest with father."

"Sister, father will definitely believe you. Although you’ve now become the daughter of Jiang family, which is somewhat tricky, at least all of us are still in Yanjing. I also want to go see father, can I go see him?"

Seeing him like this would surely upset Xue Huaiyuan, but compared to the news of Xue Zhao’s death, knowing that Xue Zhao was still alive would probably fill him with more joy. Jiang Li then looked towards Jih Heng and asked, "Can Ah Zhao visit the Ye Residence?"

Jih Heng said, "Yes, I’ll have Wen Ji protect him and take him there."

Xue Zhao looked at Jiang Li and then at Jih Heng. Having just found out his sister was still alive, he was immersed in sheer ecstasy and excitement, and had completely overlooked everything said before; Jiang Li had spoken in front of Jih Heng, without any attempt to hide.

Xue Zhao asked, "Sir, did you know about my sister’s identity all along?"

Jiang Li nodded, "He knew, and he helped a lot when it came to taking revenge."

Xue Zhao was about to say something when his gaze fell on the hands that Jiang Li and Jih Heng were holding. A flicker of confusion passed through his eyes, but he said nothing. Actually, he also wanted to ask about the nature of Jiang Li’s and Jih Heng’s relationship. It seemed that the relationship between the two was profound. During the long time he had been at the Duke Residence, Xue Zhao had only seen Jih Heng once, and the indifference of that time compared to the tenderness of this time was completely different.

Was it because of his own sister?

And what about his sister? What did she think? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

But with Jih Heng right there, Xue Zhao couldn’t ask. Jiang Li looked at Xue Zhao’s legs and said, "Ah Zhao... your legs..."

"It’s okay not to stand up," replied Xue Zhao, "I always hoped that someday I could stand up, and I even practiced in the night, avoiding Doctor Situ. But it was because I thought that from then on, it would just be father and me. If I couldn’t stand up, who would care for father? Surely we can’t expect father to look after me. But now that sister is alive, I suddenly feel that none of that matters. As long as our family is alive, that’s good enough."

He sincerely showed contentment.

Jiang Li actually wanted to talk with Xue Zhao a bit longer; she had so much to say to her brother. However, Jih Heng interrupted, saying, "It’s getting late; you should go."

Jiang Li looked at the sky; she had stayed at the Duke Residence for a long time today. If she continued to stay, by the time she got back home, it might already be light. The days grow light early in the summer, and it would be troublesome if she were discovered.

Xue Zhao also realized this and said, "Sister, you should go quickly. Now that you are the daughter of Jiang family, it wouldn’t be a small matter if they found out you were out at night."

Actually, he was puzzled as his own sister, though not the kind of girl who always followed the rules in the past, and would occasionally join him in mischief, wouldn’t be visiting a strange man’s residence to talk late at night. But even so, Xue Zhao still believed that Jiang Li and Jih Heng wouldn’t do anything improper. Not because he trusted Jih Heng to be a gentleman, but because he trusted Xue Fangfei was not that kind of person.

"Alright," Jiang Li knew their points were valid and stood up, "Ah Zhao, I’ll come to see you another day. On the day you go to see father, let someone inform me in advance, and I’ll go with you. With you by my side, it will be easier to explain my identity to father."
