"You..." Jiang Li had barely spoken when the person shivered, turned their head, and startled her as she exclaimed, "Zhao Ke?"
"Ah? Second Miss," Zhao Ke responded, "It's been a long time."
"How come you're here?" Jiang Li wondered in her heart. Zhao Ke had left the Jiang Family a long time ago, perhaps because whatever task Jih Heng had entrusted him with at the Jiang Family was completed, or maybe the Jiang Family had lost its usefulness to Jih Heng, and there was no longer a need to have someone keep watch. Thus, suddenly seeing Zhao Ke before her was surprising. Jiang Li asked, "What are you doing here in the dead of night? Surely, you're not here just to pick weeds."
Zhao Ke coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "Second Miss, my lord sent me to see if anything has happened at the Chief Minister's Residence."
"Something has happened?" Jiang Li puzzled, not understanding, "What thing?"
