It was a bit surprising to hear Yunshuang's name suddenly come out of Jiang Li's mouth
Yunshuang, who was in the crowd, was called out unexpectedly. When she heard clearly what Jiang Li said, her first thought was to see Ji Shuran's expression.
Across the crowd, Yunshuang could still feel Ji Shuran staring at her, as if staring at a dead person.
She subconsciously wanted to shake her head to deny, but Jiang Li turned to her again, gratefully, and seemed to have appreciation, saying: "Yunshuang reminded me before to be wary of Xiang Qiao. At that time, I didn't believe it. Now I think that I was too conceited. Thank you, Yunshuang." She also said to Ji Shuran: "Although mother mistakenly saw Xiang Qiao, she sent a caring Yunshuang to be by my side. Jiang Li thanks mother for her painstaking efforts."
Ji Shuran forced a smile, but no one knew what she felt at the moment.
It was too late for Yunshuang to say anything now, and she really couldn't refute it in front of the guests. Xiang Qiao did hide the ruby headpiece, but Yunshuang, who had been following her, dug it out and secretly put it in Xiang Qiao's room.
Most people in the world are not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. She and Xiang Qiao were both Ji Shuran's spies around Jiang Li, but Xiang Qiao got a lot of rewards from Jiang Li just by talking. Those rewards, they might not get so many even if they followed Ji Shuran for ten years.
Yunshuang's eyes were red, and she was more and more displeased with Xiang Qiao. She overheard Tong'er and Jiang Li's plan, and knew that in order to counter Ji Shuran, Tong'er would prove in front of the guests that Xiang Qiao had swapped the headpiece. Yunshuang quietly put the headpiece back in Xiang Qiao's room.
Even so, Ji Shuran's plan would fail. So what? Even if Xiang Qiao told Ji Shuran about Jiang Li's plan and Ji Shuran re-arranged it, she was just taking credit, but did not hurt Xiang Qiao at all. But if she followed Jiang Li's plan, Xiang Qiao would definitely die.
A servant with ulterior motives who framed her master would have no way to survive in the Jiang Mansion. Besides, how could Xiang Qiao have a good ending after she messed up the job that Ji Shuran handed over?
Everything was going well until Xiang Qiao was found out. Who knew that just when it was about to end, Jiang Li's words would plunge Yunshuang into the abyss.
Yunshuang's legs softened and she almost knelt down.
Jiang Li's smile became more genuine. Ji Shuran was probably a suspicious person. Her words would make Ji Shuran really doubt whether Yunshuang had rebelled. After all, something that seemed foolproof suddenly turned around here, unless there was an insider who informed Jiang Li.
Xiang Qiao would naturally not dig her own grave, but that would be Yunshuang.
At this moment, the truth has been revealed. Old Madam Jiang said coldly: "What are you waiting for? Drag this girl who caused trouble in the house and beat her to death with sticks!"
Xiang Qiao's eyes widened, her mouth was blocked by a cloth and she couldn't speak. She had to look at Ji Shuran for help. But at this time, why would Ji Shuran get involved in an unclear relationship for her? She even urged: "Hurry up, didn't you hear what Old Madam said?"
Xiang Qiao struggled to be dragged away. The guests looked at her and felt a chill in their hearts. The rules of the Jiang family are strict. It is worthy of Jiang Yuanbo. Even if he looks kind on weekdays, his methods should not be underestimated.
Yun Shuang looked at it and felt a chill on her back. She vaguely realized that she might have made a big mistake by framing Xiang Qiao.
Jiang Li put her hands together and whispered "Amitabha". Everyone looked at her, the centre of the vortex of this incident, the eye of the storm that caused the whole storm, she was lowering her head slightly at this moment, as if she couldn't bear Xiang Qiao's end, but her profile looked even more beautiful and pure.
Old Madam Jiang glanced at Jiang Li with an ambiguous look and said to Ji Shuran: "Since Xiang Qiao is gone by Li's side, she has to find a new maid. Tomorrow, the maids in the mansion will bring people here, and let Li choose a few herself."
Tong'er heard this, and her heart moved, and she immediately said crisply: "Reply to the old lady, the maids who swept Fangfei Garden before were also arranged by Xiang Qiao. Since Xiang Qiao is a person of bad morals, please send those maids away and choose new ones. Let Fangfei Garden be clean inside and out."
These words made Ji Shuran's face hot and angry. A little girl dared to accuse her in her words. But no matter how angry she was in her heart, she still didn't show it on her face.
Old Madam Jiang said, "We'll do as you say."
Ji Shuran hurriedly said yes, and smiled at Jiang Li, "It was Mother who didn't know people well before, and almost made a big mistake. How about this, Yunshuang should come back to me, Li'er, your personal maid, you can choose it yourself tomorrow, is that okay?"
Jiang Li showed a little regretful expression, "I thought Yunshuang was pretty good, so why not keep her by my side, but what mother said makes sense, so I'll listen to her."
Yunshuang was scared to death when she heard Jiang Li's words. Jiang Li's words were pushing her into the fire pit! Ji Shuran had already become suspicious of her, and keeping her by her side was nothing more than torturing her. But Jiang Li just added fuel to the fire!
"Today, I made you all laugh at me," said Old Madam Jiang, seeing that the matter was almost settled. "My Jiang family is not good at disciplining servants, and such a ridiculous thing happened. I apologize to you on behalf of the Jiang family."
The guests said they dared not to do so, and Jiang Yuanbo also said, "I will invite you to gather together another day."
The people who came to watch the coming-of-age ceremony today watched such a good show, but also gained something from it. However, Jiang Youyao, who should have been the protagonist, was slightly ignored.
Shen Ruyun and Madam Shen were led out by the Jiang family servants, and could not help but whisper to Madam Shen, "I think the third Miss Jiang is just so-so, but the second Miss Jiang is a powerful one. She turned the situation around with just a few words. I'm afraid she has a lot of tricks."
Shen Ruyun hates Jiang Youyao because Jiang Youyao is Zhou Yanbang's fiancée. Today, Jiang Li changed the situation. On the surface, she punished Xiang Qiao, but in fact, she also made Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao lose face.
Jiang Li made Jiang Youyao lose her composure, and Shen Ruyun was happy to see the result. However, this did not mean that Shen Ruyun liked Jiang Li. For Shen Ruyun, if Jiang Youyao had not replaced Jiang Li, Zhou Yanbang's fiancée should be Jiang Li now.
They are all sexual enemies, equally annoying.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard someone next to them shout: "Girl." Shen Ruyun and Madam Shen looked back and saw two people walking this way. It was Miss Jiang Er who had just made a big splash and her maid, Tong'er.
Second Miss Jiang also saw them, stopped slightly, smiled at them, nodded, and walked away.
We're not familiar with each other, so it's not rude.
But at that moment, Shen Ruyun suddenly felt that the way Miss Jiang Er smiled and nodded at her looked very familiar.
Where has she seen it?
