Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 007 Flower Demon

☆
In the following days, Tong'er went to the mountains every day.

The nuns at the nunnery only felt that Tong'er went out more frequently than before, but they followed her secretly and found nothing wrong. Tong'er worked harder to chop wood.

These nuns knew that Jiang Li exchanged forty strings of copper coins for a basket of cakes. As long as Jiang Li walked out of the house, she could hear the ridicule of these nuns. Jiang Li was not angry after hearing this, and just looked at them with a smile. After doing this several times, the nuns found it boring and stopped talking.

Tong'er went out at midnight every night and sneaked back in late at night. She was always smart and managed to avoid the nuns in the nunnery surprisingly smoothly. When she went out, Jiang Li was waiting for her in the shabby room, but it was very boring while waiting. There were no scriptures in this nunnery, and Jiang Li had no paper and pen. After waking up, she no longer spent day and night. She was holding the soles of her shoes and just sat quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

However, not long after the quiet days passed, couldn't believe that the two masters and servants were living too peacefully. Master Jing'an actually started to make things difficult for them. For example, the daily porridge was not only much thinner, but also looked more like someone else's leftovers.

"Girl, they are getting more and more excessive now." Tong'er said bitterly: "It must be the Ji family who is behind this!"

Tong'er called the current wife of the first assistant in Yanjing City ‘Ji's’, and thinking about it, Miss Jiang Er also agreed. Jiang Li didn't think there was anything wrong. At first, everyone thought she couldn't survive it and was about to die. In any case, Ji Shuran must have felt very comfortable. Who knew that not only did she survive, but her temperament also became very good. Seeing how she was living happy, Ji Shuran must be uncomfortable, and she must have asked Master Jing'an to make her uncomfortable.

Master Jing'an would not beat or scold Jiang Li openly, but for a little girl who had just grown up, not having enough to eat or wearing warm clothes made her feel that her life was going from heaven to earth, and feeling shameful was enough to cause her pain. It's a pity that she is not the real Second Miss Jiang. Not to mention whether she has suffered or not, even the lowest point in her life is much lower than the original Second Miss Jiang is now.

Once you have reached that point, compare to where you are now, you don’t feel like there is anything difficult to deal with.

By the time May 19 came, the basket of cakes was already empty. Tong'er stood on the edge of the basket, carefully dug out the cake crumbs from the bottom of the basket with a wooden spoon, put it on a plate, and asked Jiang Li, "Girl, please eat some of this first to fill your stomach."

They haven't eaten all day and night. Yesterday, the nun in the nunnery deliberately broke the gruel that was brought in. There was no other food in the kitchen. All the remaining cakes were also fed to the monkeys in the forest behind Helin Temple. Both of them were very hungry at the moment.

Jiang Li raised her eyes and looked out the window. Although it was much cooler on the mountain than at the bottom, summer was approaching and the days had already lengthened significantly. The sun is going down now, and it will be night soon. She said: "I won't eat, you can eat."

Tong'er stared at the crumbs, swallowed, shook her head and said, "Girl doesn't eat it, and Tong'er doesn't eat it either."

"It doesn't matter, let's have something good to eat later." Jiang Li smiled. Tong'er became even more confused.

Jiang Li got up and walked to the corner of the room. There was a large wooden box in the corner. She opened the wooden box. The wooden box was huge, but the contents inside were pitifully lonely. There were only a few pieces of yellow clothes, which were less than half of the wooden box. This was all the belongings that Miss Jiang Er brought with her when she came to the nunnery from Yanjing six years ago. Maybe there were some valuable things inside, but in the past six years, there are only a few yellow clothes left here.
