Chapter 2 Jiang Li
The wind made the windows bang, and the maid reached out to close the window. In the room, there was a copper ox on the floor, with its belly filled with heavy ice.

Every summer in Yanjing, the temperature rises early, and ice has to be shipped back from cellars a hundred miles away. A small piece of ice is worth ten taels of silver, not to mention a complete piece as big as a stone plate, not to mention the four identical green cows placed in the four corners of the room.

The room was cool and fresh. A beautiful woman sat on the couch near the small table. She propped her chin with one hand and lazily looked at the account book in front of her. Next to this woman, there was a beautiful girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was eating candied fruit yogurt with crushed ice while flipping through the pile of notes in front of her. Two maids stood quietly behind them, gently fanning them.

"It's raining so heavily..." The pretty girl looked out the window in a daze.

The beautiful woman glanced at her and said, "Eat less cold food, so that you won't be unable to eat when your father comes back tonight." Then she said to the maid beside her, "Ruyi, take the fruit cheese away. This pot of tea is cold. Change it to a pot of hot fragrant tea."

Although the girl was somewhat dissatisfied, she said nothing. She put down her fan, bent down and picked up the fruit cheese on the table. Just as she was about to go out, a maid in silk clothes came in from outside. When she saw her, she did not greet her but walked straight to the beautiful woman. It was obvious that she had something urgent to do.

Ruyi paused, took the fruit yogurt and cold tea and went out, and faintly heard someone talking behind her.

"... He said he was seriously ill... He found out about the Third Miss's marriage and had a big fight with Master Jing'an..."

"I'm not feeling well. I'm so sick that I can't get out of bed..."

"The doctor said he won't survive this summer. Should I tell the master..."

The room was silent for a while, and then the beautiful woman's gentle voice sounded: "The master has been busy with official duties recently, so there is no need to bother him with these trivial matters. When I have free time, I will talk to him in person."

Then, the girl's unique and charming voice sounded: "No matter what she does, she doesn't even look at who she is and dares to associate with anyone."

"Don't talk about this." The woman changed the subject. "I heard that the wife of the new champion passed away a few days ago. I have to go to her house to pay my respects tomorrow." Her voice sounded very sympathetic. "How could she die of illness at such a young age? She was such a pitiful person."

What a pitiful man. Ruyi thought to herself, and without stopping, she went to the kitchen with the silver tray in her hand.

The lady in the room was the current Prime Minister Jiang Yuanbo's second wife, Ji Shuran. The girl was the Prime Minister's daughter, Ji Shuran's biological daughter, and the third daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Youyao.

As for the person they were talking about who "can't survive this summer", it should be Jiang Li, the second daughter of the Jiang family.

Five years ago, Jiang Li, the second daughter of the Jiang family, was sent to the temple to learn the rules because of her mistakes. In the past five years, there seems to be no such person in the Jiang family. Now Ji Shuran is the head of the family, and the only legitimate daughter of the Jiang family is Jiang Youyao. The legitimate daughter of the first wife of the prime minister is about to die this summer, but no one in the mansion knows about it.

But even if I knew it, nothing seemed to change.

Ruyi sighed in her heart and looked at the cold tea in her hand. What else could she do? The former wife had passed away, and the second Miss Jiang had such a bad reputation.

This is the way the world is, when people leave, the tea gets forgotten.

……

Helin Temple on Mount Qingcheng is a famous temple.

Although the mountain road is rugged, the mountain is full of beautiful pine trees and rocks, lush forests and bamboos, and the scenery is very beautiful. In particular, the abbot Master Tongming is famous far and wide. It is said that praying in Songhe Temple is also very effective, so many people do not hesitate to travel through mountains and rivers to Helin Temple just to burn a stick of incense.

Not far from Helin Temple, there is a nunnery. Compared with the endless stream of pilgrims at Helin Temple, this nunnery looks deserted and almost empty.

It rained all night and the mountain wind became even colder. From a room in the nunnery near the woodshed, the sound of a woman's sobbing could be heard.

"Girl...Girl, what should I do..."

As soon as Xue Fangfei opened her eyes, she heard a noise in her ears. She moved her fingers with great effort, only to find that her body felt extremely heavy. When she moved again, she suddenly realized that it was not because her body felt extremely heavy, but because the quilt covering her was too heavy.

The quilt was originally very thin, but it became cold and heavy because of dampness, and it was extremely uncomfortable to hold it on her body. She lifted the quilt and felt much more comfortable in her chest, and slowly sat up. The crying beside her stopped abruptly, and in the dim candlelight on the table, she saw a face that could not hide its surprise. She said, "The girl is awake!"

girl?

Xue Fangfei was stunned and looked at the person in front of her. The girl in front of her was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes were swollen like peach pits, she looked cute, but her skinny appearance made people feel sad. She was wearing an ill-fitting dark blue cloth dress, without a single piece of jewelry on her body, and she looked at Xue Fangfei and laughed foolishly.

Calling her a girl, could it be that she was a maid? But even if she was a maid by her side before she got married in Tongxiang, she wouldn't be dressed so poorly.

Xue Fangfei came back to her senses with a start. No, the point is, she didn't remember having such a maid. After she married to Yanjing, she had four personal maids. Two of them got married later, leaving two. After the incident on the day of the banquet, Shen Yurong's mother wanted to beat the two maids to death. Xue Fangfei begged her to stop her and let them go. Those who served her later were probably Princess Yongning's spies.

Princess Yongning! Suddenly, some images flashed before her eyes. Xue Fangfei remembered that it was Princess Yongning who had provoked her. She was strangled to death by Princess Yongning's servants. Could it be that she was not dead? How could it be possible? Princess Yongning was such a person who wanted to wipe out the roots, so it was impossible for her to be spared.

Could it be... that she was rescued by someone? Was it Shen Yurong? Or someone else?

Xue Fangfei stared at the little girl without saying anything. The little girl stopped giggling and said in a low voice, a little scared, "Girl? Girl?"

"Who are you?" Xue Fangfei asked. As soon as she said this, she froze, as if something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.

The little girl became even more anxious, and she said, "Miss, this servant is Tong'er!"

Tong'er? Xue Fangfei couldn't remember this person.

"Miss," Tong'er looked like she was about to cry. She said, "Miss, I know you are unhappy. How could the Second Miss and her friends snatch your marriage? That was arranged for you when Madam was still alive. How could the Ningyuan Marquis family do such a treacherous thing? And Master, Miss, I know you resent Master, but you can't just let it go and give up everything. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Madam. How sad Madam would be if she saw you like this in heaven!"

Xue Fangfei looked at the little girl crying and wailing in confusion, but she was thinking what this had to do with Ningyuan Hou. Xue Fangfei knew that Ningyuan Hou's son, Shen Yurong's sister Shen Ruyun, and her sister-in-law admired Ningyuan Hou's son, a famous handsome man in Yanjing City. But what did this have to do with her?
The little girl was still crying in a trance. Suddenly, there was a loud thunder outside, illuminating the room. The room was cold and shabby, the quilt was cold, and it also illuminated Xue Fangfei herself.

Xue Fangfei suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This voice... is delicate and crisp. Although it is tired, it has the softness unique to a young girl.

This is not her voice.

"Who am I?" Xue Fangfei asked.

Tong'er was stunned.

"Who am I?" Xue Fangfei asked again.

"What are you talking about?" Tong'er thought she was angry, and immediately said, "You are the daughter of the current Prime Minister Jiang, the second daughter of the Jiang family." She added, "A legitimate daughter of a rich family, the daughter of the Prime Minister!"

The Jiang family, the daughter of the Prime Minister, the second Miss Jiang, Jiang Li.

Xue Fangfei closed her eyes.

She became Jiang Li.
