< >Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 125 Part 1: Furious
After Jiang Li left Jiang Yuan Bai’s study, Jiang Yuan Bai did not look for her again.
There was a temporary peace.
Ye Ming Yu lived in a courtyard designated for guests, not far from Jiang Li’s courtyard. Even though Xue Huaiyuan was an elderly, in the Jiang residence, it’s impossible for Jiang Li to stay in one courtyard with Xue Huaiyuan. Therefore, Xue Huaiyuan stayed together with Ye Ming Yu. Fortunately, it wasn’t far, so it’s easy to see him at any time.
Jiang Jing Rui rushed over after receiving news. Once he met her, he hurriedly said, “Jiang Li, I know everything you did at Chang’An Gate. If I’d known earlier, I would have gone there to join in the fun! So many people, your father was still flying into a rage before, unexpectedly, with just a few words, he was persuaded by you. Wow, I have truly underestimated you before, you have more and more ability.”
Not meeting Jiang Jing Rui for many days, but he was still the same and had not made any progress. Jiang Li inquired about the recent things happening in the Jiang residence. There was nothing special aside from Jiang Yu’e entering the Ningyuan Marquis residence. She was relieved and asked him to leave.
Tong’er walked in from outside. Once she entered the room, she immediately spoke with indignation, “Miss, just now, at the courtyard gate, there were a few sneaky people looking inside. Ming Yue and Qing Feng also said there were a lot of inexplicable people from afternoon til the evening. Ji-shi is looking for things again. It’s really restless, we just returned to the residence, what does she want to do?”
In the entire Jiang residence, only Ji Shuran had the ability to do this inexplicable surveillance. Jiang Li laughed and said, “Up to her, now I don’t have the spare time to deal with her. Besides, whatever she wants to find out, those that can be inquired has been passed from outside. If they can’t find anything, they won’t find anything here either. It doesn’t matter, it’s better to rest early. Hurrying on the journey in this period has been terribly tiring.”
She settled down and soon the light inside the room was extinguished.
The lights in Fang Fei Garden were extinguished early as Jiang Li went to bed. But in the Jiang residence, some people were unable to sleep.
Ji Shuran pounded Jiang Yuan Bai’s back lightly while asking worriedly, “Master, what’s going on with Li-er? Regardless of what she did before, the disturbance would eventually fall on the residence. Now the noise has reached outside the residence, perhaps others regard it as your doing.”
Jiang Yuan Bai frowned, and also heard Jiang Li’s words today. If there’s anything that could move him, it was because this matter involved the Li family. To his surprise, the Li family had already moved their hands this early. If it was really the Li family who hindered from within, Jiang Li’s method seemed to be the best choice. Moreover, this came from Jiang Li, in any case, on the bright side, it would look good.
With these considerations, he waved his hand and said, “Don’t bother with this matter. I have my own view.”
The hands hammering on his shoulder tightened slightly. She could make out Jiang Yuan Bai’s mood and he had obviously softened. What Jiang Li actually said to him, which made him change his opinion so quickly. It was clear that Jiang Yuan Bai was furious because of this matter when they were in Wan Feng Hall.
However, she would never ask the things that Jiang Yuan Bai was not willing to say. This was where her cleverness lay. Therefore, Ji Shuran did not continue her words and instead, changed the topic. “Master, actually, it’s nothing to do with me. This time, the fact that Li-er brought the crazy county deputy back can be dismissed, but today I heard the rumor that Li-er treated the crazy county deputy like a relative, taking care of him meticulously, personally attending to his food and drink. Some people said, said that she treats him better than she treats the Master.”
“Nonsense!” Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Yuan Bai was unable to take it anymore, “a bunch of nonsense!”
Ji Shuran promptly said, “Quell your anger, Master. I also heard what others said. Li-er is always gentle and kind, seeing the pitiful county deputy, it’s natural for her to be deeply concerned. I just don’t understand, these things can be done by the servants, why does Li-er, in her capacity as the Jiang family’s miss, still wants to do these things herself? Does this crazy county deputy know Li-er previously? Without rhyme or reason, Jiang Li involved herself in this case in Tongxiang, is there something hidden inside?”
Jiang Yuan Bai’s chest moved up and down violently. It took a while before he calmed down. There’s uncertainty in his eyes, he seemed to sink into contemplation.
Seeing this, Ji Shuran did not continue to speak, a trace of complacency flashed in her heart.
As early as when she first knew about this, doubt appeared in her heart. Don’t think that Jiang Li always appeared gentle, magnanimous, honest and kind hearted, she, who had grown to this age, could see Jiang Li’s indifference and alienation. Towards the Jiang family, the reason why she was always able to let things go and did not seem to mind was because she always used the identity of a “guest” to treat the Jiang family. As a result, Jiang Li did not have much complaint on all the unfair treatments given to her by the Jiang family.
Originally, Jiang Li was courteous and estranged, not someone who would look for trouble. She only maintained an exterior of respect for her own father, Jiang Yuan Bai, much less towards a stranger. However, the news she got back from her inquiries stated that Jiang Li seemingly had a boundless patience towards Xue Huaiyuan. She never pretended and asked other people to care about his clothes, food and daily life. She dealt with them herself meticulously, regardless of its importance, really closer than towards her own father.
This was truly too suspicious. Unfortunately, no matter how Ji Shuran investigated, other investigations could not find the cause. But it’s not urgent, just a little would enable her to make a big fuss, for example, telling such things to Jiang Yuan Bai. As such, wouldn’t Jiang Yuan Bai give birth to suspicions?
Moreover, Jiang Li recently was worrying about the Tongxiang case, so she’s bound to have no time to deal with her. Being so familiar with Xue Huaiyuan, there must be something hidden inside. She would certainly discover what it was.
When the time came, it would be Jiang Li’s time of death.
……
On the second day, Jiang Li got up early in the morning.
After eating breakfast, she wanted to go to Ye Ming Yu’s courtyard to see Xue Huaiyuan. Before she went out, Bai Xue had come in first and said, “Miss, someone reported that young master Ye is here to see you.”
Ye Shijie? Before Jiang Li went to look for him, he had first come to the Jiang residence. Jiang Li said, “Okay. I’ll see him.”
Arriving at Wan Feng Hall, only old madam Jiang was talking to Ye Shijie. Jiang Yuan Bai and Ji Shuran were not present. Ye Shijie saw her and called out, “younger cousin.”
Jiang Li replied, “Older cousin Ye.”
Old madam Jiang said with understanding, “Second girl, your older cousin came here and has some words to say to you. The two of you go and talk, this old body is tired and will return to the room first.”
Perhaps due to the Xue family’s case, old madam Jiang had some complaints against Jiang Li and her treatment towards Jiang Li was lukewarm. Ye Shijie took all this in his eyes silently.
Jiang Li did not mind at all. Jiang Li only spoke after old madam Jiang had left, “older cousin, uncle Ming Yu is also here. I was about to go over, since you are also here, let’s go and see him together.”
“Okay.” Ye Shijie replied.
The two of them walked together towards Ye Ming Yu’s courtyard.
“I’ve heard about the ancient fragrant satin matter in Xiangyang. Thanks for your help.” Ye Shijie said while walking.
“It’s nothing,” Jiang Li smiled, “although my surname is Jiang, my mother’s surname is Ye, helping the Ye family is something I should do. Moreover, in this matter, if you were not in Yanjing looking for the weaving room unit, it would not have gone so smoothly. You should not thank me, you should thank yourself.”
Ye Shijie shook his head, “Without Master Jiang’s name, the weaving room unit’s action would not be so fast.”
“You still should not thank me,” Jiang Li said, “at most I’m just using powerful connections to intimidate people.”
Ye Shijie looked at her sideways. She seemed to have grown a bit taller after many days not seeing her, looking a bit more like a young lady. Many years ago, he would never have expected that one day he would have a calm conversation with Jiang Li like this. As if the previous misunderstanding had all disappeared.
Of course, now that the misunderstanding between her and the Ye family had really disappeared, the Ye family had thoroughly accepted her. But it’s unknown whether she had thoroughly accepted the Ye family.
“Older cousin Ye, will you be present at the trial two days later?” Jiang Li asked.
Ye Shijie nodded, “Yes.” He was silent before speaking, “Don’t know what’s the situation.”
Jiang Li smiled while looking at him, “How do you feel being an official these days? Have you gotten used to it?”
Ye Shijie forced a smile.
