☆ Chapter 174 Face

                                    

                                          
On the way back, thinking of what Ji Heng said, Jiang Li couldn't help smiling.
Perhaps her smile was too obvious, and Tong'er and Bai Xue looked at each other in surprise. Tong'er asked, "What did the young lady say to the Duke of the State that made you so happy?"
"It's just a casual chat." Jiang Li said.
She really didn't expect that in Ji Heng's eyes, Xue Fang Fei in the past would eventually be evaluated as a "beauty". This was a bit surprising to her. You know, Ji Heng was the most beautiful man in Beiyan. 
She never thought that Ji Heng didn't look down on Xue Fang Fei at all. She had always believed that her appearance was of little use, but now that her appearance in the past was called a beauty by Ji Heng, she found it funny.
Xue Fang Fei was probably beautiful back then. But now, Miss Jiang Er can only be called a little beauty, and it is still far from being stunningly beautiful. Maybe Ji Heng will never say a "beauty" to her now.
But going to the Duke's Mansion tonight made her feel more at ease. She gradually found that whenever she had to make an important decision, she seemed to feel more confident after taking a trip to the Duke's Mansion, even if she said something insignificant to Ji Heng. 
In the past, Jiang Li only heard the saying "It's good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the shade", but she didn't know what it felt like, but now she has fully experienced it.
No wonder there are so many people in the world who will do whatever it takes to find a "big tree" for themselves.
But even if there is a big tree, the rest of the work still needs to be done by herself. The carriage slowly drove on the way back to Jiang Mansion. Jiang Li was idle. 
Princess Yongning, who was now demoted to a commoner, would not be able to hold back for long and would go to find Shen Yurong. Princess Yongning suffered so much "injustice" because of Shen Yurong. In the past, she had to endure the pain of missing Shen Yurong because she married into the Li family to protect the child in her belly. 
Now that the whole world knows it, she doesn't have to hide it anymore. Even without the identity of a princess, Princess Yongning is much freer.
But soon, Princess Yongning will realize the cruelty of reality.
Back in the Shen family, Xue Fang Fei saw the shrewdness and coldness in the bones of the Shen family, and she paid a life to see it clearly. What full of benevolence and morality, in fact, are all illusions. 
This golden branch and jade leaf without the identity of a princess, this time when she comes to the Shen family, Perhaps she will not receive the same noble treatment as before. Even the Shen family will blame her for everything Shen Yurong suffered.
Princess Yongning will suffer.
The smile on her lips became lighter, and she looked at her hands and slowly clenched them.
It was almost time, the day she had always wanted to come was almost here.
...
Just as Jiang Li had thought, Princess Yongning, who had stayed in the inn for a long time, finally came to the Shen Mansion.
She wore a bamboo hat on her head. At first, Princess Yongning thought that even if people in Yanjing City knew about her, they would never dare to point fingers at her. But soon Princess Yongning found out that she was wrong. No matter where she went, the eyes behind her followed her like a shadow. 
She could clearly feel the whispers and ridicules in the crowd, which made her very unhappy. But when she habitually wanted to order the guards around her to take down those gossipers, she found that there was nothing around her except Meixiang.
