He never did reveal Jih Heng's true identity.
Jih Heng smiled and said to Jiang Li, "The secret has returned, Second Miss, you should head back," with a rather meaningful look.
Since Ye Mingyu was there, Jiang Li couldn't say much more, so she nodded at Jih Heng and followed Ye Mingyu into the Ye Residence.
After the two left, Wen Ji asked, "My lord, do you need me to...?"
Jih Heng fended off the question with her fan, saying, "There's no need." She glanced at the firmly shut doors of the Ye Residence, smiled, and said, "Even without looking, I know what she's going to do. Xiangyang is about to be turned upside down."

Ye Mingyu and Jiang Li returned to Jiang Li's courtyard.
Tonger and Bai Xue hurriedly brewed tea for Ye Mingyu, who, seeing no one else was around, immediately asked impatiently, "Jiang Li, who was that man just now? Although you didn't say it outright, I can tell he's no ordinary person, and it seems you have some prior acquaintance with him."
