The Double-Chapter 535 - 161 Recovery_3

Ye Mingyu sighed, "The life of County Magistrate Xue has indeed been full of hardships, it’s quite saddening to see."

"No matter what, when he wakes up, he will have to face a sober life." There seemed to be a hint of faint melancholy in Situ Jiuyue’s tone as she said, "Actually, the days gone by weren’t so bad; in the eyes of others, a madman sometimes lives more happily than most."

She herself was Princess Molan, who had been through turmoil and certainly knew how cruel it was to face reality with a clear mind. Xue Huaiyuan could probably make her empathize.

"I want to stay here," Hai Tang’s voice was still somewhat choked up, "The master is in this state now, and if he were to learn about the affairs of the Xue Family, he would surely be very sad. I want to stay by the master’s side, at least to let him know that the Xue Family is not without people. I also want to tell the master about the mistress’s grievances, to let him know that the mistress was not as bad as others have said."

Jiang Li looked towards Situ Jiuyue, and Situ Jiuyue shrugged, saying, "She’s your returned person, of course it’s your decision to make, you don’t need to look at me."

Jiang Li thought for a moment and then said to Hai Tang, "Since that’s the case, you can stay here. It’s good to take care of County Magistrate Xue, but just don’t go out on normal days. We ought to avoid being seen by others." freёwebnoѵel.com

Hai Tang nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Li had thought that Xue Huaiyuan had met with an accident on such a trip, but in the end, she had unexpectedly learned that Xue Huaiyuan had recovered his memory, feeling a mixture of sadness and joy that was hard to express.

After she watched over Xue Huaiyuan for a while longer beside his bed and stepped out of the room, she saw that Situ Jiuyue was already waiting for her outside. Jiang Li took a step forward, and Situ Jiuyue said, "After Xue Huaiyuan recovers his memory, do you plan to tell him about your intentions to avenge Xue Fangfei?"

Jiang Li answered honestly, "I don’t know."

"Oh?" Situ Jiuyue did not understand.

"If I tell him, he might feel that he needs others to help avenge his children, which might make him sadder. But if I don’t... he should know the truth."

Situ Jiuyue laughed softly, "You’re quite thoughtful."

Jiang Li shook her head, "I just don’t know what to do."

"It’s strange, in other matters, you always have strong opinions, but when it comes to the affairs of the Xue Family, you always get anxious," Situ Jiuyue said, "It doesn’t matter, though. When Xue Huaiyuan wakes up, I will come to the Ye Residence to examine him. After that, I’ll let you know, and how you deal with Xue Huaiyuan and what truth you tell him are your matters." She waved her hand and walked forward, "I should be going now, I’ll take my leave."

So Situ Jiuyue left.

Ye Mingyu watched Situ Jiuyue’s departing figure and exclaimed, "Doctor Situ is also quite an extraordinary person."

Regaining her senses, Jiang Li remembered Ye Shijie wasn’t in the residence, so she stayed in the room, accompanying Hai Tang for a while longer to watch over Xue Huaiyuan. After having lunch with Ye Shijie in the Ye Residence at noon, she took a carriage to the Jiang Residence.

On the way back, Jiang Li was lost in her heavy thoughts the entire journey. Tonger and Bai Xue did not dare to disturb her. Jiang Li, however, was somewhat upset and confused. How should she speak to Xue Huaiyuan after he woke up, whether to acknowledge him or not, when to acknowledge, and what if Xue Huaiyuan didn’t believe that she was Xue Fangfei? Her mind was a mess. At the same time, she also felt an unspeakable sense of guilt.

Xue Zhao died trying to vindicate her. Even though she had become Miss Jiang the Second and regained her life, Xue Zhao could never come back to life. The father would ultimately have to face the reality of losing a son, and Jiang Li didn’t know what to say.

Just the thought of such a scenario made her feel a bone-chilling cold.

When Jiang Li arrived at the Jiang Residence, she didn’t want to talk to anyone and headed straight for Fangfei Garden. However, just as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, Ming Yue came up to her and said, "Miss, someone has come to visit and wishes to see you. I told them you were out, so she is waiting for you in the front hall."

"To see me?" Jiang Li really wasn’t in the mood to meet any visitors that day but also knew she couldn’t neglect the proper courtesies. She had few friends who would come to visit her on their own, and even fewer who were significant, so if they were people of no importance, it didn’t matter if she didn’t meet them. Therefore, she asked, "Who wants to see me?"

She guessed it might be Liu Xu. In Yanjing City, she didn’t have many friends, and Liu Xu was the only one. Little did she know, Ming Yue shook her head and said, "Mr. Xiao Deyin from Mingyi Hall."

"Xiao Deyin?" Jiang Li frowned, as she couldn’t understand why Xiao Deyin would come looking for her. Setting aside her identity as Xue Fangfei, as Miss Jiang the Second, other than the nominal teacher-student relationship with Mingyi Hall, she had no personal dealings with Xiao Deyin. Moreover, this teacher-student relationship was very thin. As long as Jiang Li didn’t go to school, there was hardly any connection. Especially recently, as she had barely gone to Mingyi Hall and had hardly seen Xiao Deyin a few times, it was puzzling how Xiao Deyin would take the initiative to come find her?
