The Double
Chapter 188 - 188 93 The Ye Family

188: Chapter 93 The Ye Family 188: Chapter 93 The Ye Family The following days passed uneventfully.

Nothing particularly special happened.

Jiang Li had informed the tutor from Mingyi Hall that she was about to return to Xiangyang and was simply waiting to go back with Ye Mingxuan.

Madam Jiang the Elder called Jiang Li to Night Wind Hall several times to give her instructions, apparently placing great importance on her relationship with the Ye Family for this return trip.

Ji Shuran and her daughter, for once, did not come to cause trouble.

Jiang Li was aware that Ji Shuran would not give up so easily; she was probably scheming a new plan, but at the moment, Jiang Li, yearning for home, did not have the spare energy to pay attention to this mother and daughter duo.

Jiang Jingrui frequently visited Fangfei Garden, still not having given up the idea of going to the Ye Family with Jiang Li.

Who knows what he was thinking, not staying in Yanjing City, always wanting to roam around.

Even Ye Shijie came to visit once.

He didn’t mention Xiangyang, only spoke of the events that had happened since he became an Assistant Minister of Revenue.

Ever since Ye Shijie became an Assistant Minister of Revenue, many people were watching to see which side he would take.

Given the relationship between the Ye and Jiang families, it was assumed Ye Shijie would be part of the Grand Secretary’s camp.

However, everyone in Yanjing City knew that the Ye and Jiang families had ceased their correspondence years ago, and it was speculated that Ye Shijie might join Prince Cheng’s faction, given the growing power of Prince Cheng.

But Jiang Li thought it would be best for Ye Shijie to remain loyal to Emperor Hongxiao.

For some reason, she had a feeling, although Emperor Hongxiao currently seemed to lack influence, this young emperor since his ascension to the throne was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Time passed by and before you knew it, ten days later, Ye Mingxuan came to fetch Jiang Li, and they were ready to leave Yanjing City for Xiangyang.

Exceptionally, Madam Jiang the Elder also came to the entrance of the estate to see them off.

Still, there was no trace of Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yue.

Ji Shuran, smiling, said to Ye Mingxuan, “Take good care on the road, and please look after Lili.”

Ye Mingxuan smiled and replied, “Don’t worry.”

Ye Shijie said, “It’s getting late, you should set off now.

The sooner you leave, the more ground you can cover, and the sooner you can return to Xiangyang.”

Jiang Li turned to Madam Jiang the Elder and bowed slightly, “Father, grandmother, don’t worry about me.

Once I have seen my maternal grandmother, I will return promptly.”

“Of course,” Ji Shuran’s eyes held an overly sincere affection as she said, “We’ll be waiting for your return.”

Jiang Li smiled faintly, no longer hesitating; Tonger assisted her into the carriage.

The carriage curtain dropped, cutting off the gaze of the Jiang family members on the outside.

All that could be heard was Ye Mingxuan instructing the convoy.

The carriage trundled forward.

Her heart eased at that moment and then became excited.

This was…

the road home.

Although no longer Xue Fangfei and now the precious daughter of the Chief Minister’s Family, at last, she was on her way home.

…

From Yanjing City to Xiangyang, if they hurried and did not delay on the road, it would take just over a month.

Luckily, the roads were not too rugged, all considered highways, not as perilous as the path from Green City Mountain to Xiangyang.

Ye Mingxuan, being cautious, had specifically hired a convoy from the safety escort bureau to protect Jiang Li.

Jiang Yuanbai also allotted some escorts; with such arrangements, even if they encountered bandits on the road, they could safely retreat.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and they encountered no danger.

Ye Mingxuan had initially thought Jiang Li, being delicately raised, would not be accustomed to such long and frequent travel, especially since the distance from Yanjing City to Xiangyang was farther than from Yanjing City to Green City Mountain.

If Jiang Li felt uncomfortable on the road, the entire convoy would have to slow down, and upon return to Xiangyang, they would certainly arrive much later than before.

However, Jiang Li’s performance surprised everyone.

She was not picky and was easy to attend to.

Whether staying at inns or making do in the carriage, she never complained.

Sometimes, when they couldn’t find an inn and had to stay outside, the escorts would hunt and roast rabbit meat, and Jiang Li eagerly watched.

If the guards did something incorrect, she could even help fix it.

It left Ah Fu, the young servant with Ye Mingxuan, gape-mouthed in astonishment, who secretly mentioned to Ye Mingxuan, “The way the Second Miss behaves, she must have often done this sort of thing before; how else could she be so adept?”

Ye Mingxuan also found it strange, even his own son, Ye Rufeng, who was mischievous from childhood, didn’t seem to do any better than Jiang Li.

After all, she was a daughter from a prestigious family, yet she handled these tasks with no discomfort, as if it was a common occurrence for her.

When asked, Jiang Li only laughed and said, “When I was in the temple at Green City Mountain, I would often go out with Tonger to catch wild rabbits to eat.

Vegetarian meals weren’t filling, but fortunately, there were plenty of rabbits on the mountain.”

Although Tonger was puzzled about when she had ever gone rabbit hunting with Jiang Li, she did not show it and seriously nodded along.

Ye Mingxuan did not say anything more, just sighed with a smile, and it was unclear whether he was expressing admiration or sympathy.
