Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 053 Visiting

Jiang Youyao didn't expect that Jiang Li's last sentence would lead to her. She naturally heard the hidden meaning and almost jumped in anger, so she had to hold it back.

Jiang Yu'e was not as calm as Jiang Youyao. She was already dissatisfied with Jiang Li, and she did not see the approval of Old Madam Jiang for Jiang Li's words. She just said, "We are girls. We should be careful about what we say and do. Second sister is chivalrous, but it is not good for a woman to interfere with men in the street. It is detrimental to her morality."

Ji Shuran thought it was bad. Sure enough, when Jiang Yu'e said this, Old Madam Jiang looked unpredictable. She stared at Jiang Yu'e and said, "Oh? Does it mean that you are not virtuous if you do not help someone in danger and are indifferent? I think you have memorized your family motto somewhere else!"

Jiang Yu'e was stunned. She did not expect Old Madam Jiang to suddenly attack her. She felt ashamed and wronged, but she did not dare to argue with Old Madam Jiang. She just lowered her head and dared not say a word. She hated Jiang Li in her heart.

Ji Shuran was also angry. Although Old Madam Jiang said that she was indifferent to Jiang Yu'e, she also scolded Jiang Youyao. She was unhappy, but she still had to comfort her: "Don't be angry, mother. The children are young and it is normal for them to be at a loss when they encounter such things. After all, Yu'e and Youyao have never experienced such things. Li'er is brave and resourceful." She smiled and looked at Jiang Li: "Dare to stand up."

Jiang Li smiled and said: "Just according to my heart."

What a good "just according to my heart", and she stepped on the others without leaving a trace, making her look so noble. Ji Shuran's smile was also a little unnatural.

Old Madam Jiang said again: "Since he is a relative, I don't know when the Ye family's child arrived in Yanjing City. Do you know where he lives? It would be good to invite him to our house to sit another day."

Ji Shuran was a little surprised, and then she became even more angry. No matter what, Ye Zhenzhen has been dead for many years, and the Jiang family and the Ye family have not been in contact for a long time. Now that Jiang Li has such a coincidence, Old Madam Jiang suddenly wants to reconcile with the Ye family. What does this mean? But if the Ye family and the Jiang family reconcile, where will the face of her Ji family be?

"I was in a hurry at that time. I left after the matter was resolved. I never said a word to my cousin from the Ye family, so I don't know." Jiang Li said.

Hearing this, Old Madam Jiang felt a little regretful, but Ji Shuran was relieved. Then her brows were furrowed again. If the Jiang family really wanted to find someone in Yanjing City, what would be difficult? If the old lady was determined to meet Ye Shijie, even if Jiang Li didn't know Ye Shijie's situation, it would only be a matter of time before she found Ye Shijie.

At this moment, Jiang Bingji, who was playing on the bed, said in a long voice: "Mom, I'm hungry."

Old Madam Jiang came back to her senses, looked at Jiang Bingji, and said to Ji Shuran: "Take Brother Ji to dinner." She also said to Jiang Li and others: "You haven't had dinner since school, go back, let's forget about this matter, and don't mention it in the future." After saying that, she closed her eyes, as if she was tired and needed to rest.

Fei Cui and Zhen Zhu hurriedly saw the guests off.

After leaving Wanfeng Hall together, Ji Shuran took Jiang Bingji and Jiang Youyao, who was unwilling to give up, away. Jiang Li was about to go to Fangfei Garden, but saw Jiang Yu'e staring at her and sneered, saying: "Second sister is really capable. She made grandma dizzy with just a few words and didn't mention anything."

Jiang Li smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, fourth sister." Her words were sincere and her smile was very kind, as if she didn't hear Jiang Yu'e's sarcasm, which made Jiang Yu'e very angry.

Seeing that Jiang Yu'e was choked and speechless, Jiang Li took Bai Xue away leisurely. Behind her, Jiang Yuyan timidly pulled Jiang Yu'e's sleeve and whispered: "Don't always cause trouble for my second sister."

"Go away!" Jiang Yu'e shook her sleeves and broke away from Jiang Yuyan's hand. A trace of contempt flashed in her eyes: "How could I have a sister as timid as you? It's really cowardly!" She walked away angrily.

Jiang Yuyan lowered her head and stood there silently, not knowing what she was thinking.
……

When Jiang Li and Bai Xue returned to Fangfei Garden, Tong'er was relieved to see that there was no finger mark on them. She scolded the tall, dark and strong Jiang Youyao and the others in the yard, and then sat down on a chair and said, "Miss, why did the old lady suddenly mention the young master of the Ye family? Is she going to reconcile with the Ye family?"

Tong'er didn't follow Jiang Li when she was born. Before Jiang Li went to the family temple, Tong'er was not even a second-class maid. Therefore, Tong'er didn't know much about the Ye family. She didn't even know why the relationship between the Ye family and the Jiang family was cold, and why Jiang Li didn't interact with the Ye family.

"I don't know either." Jiang Li shook her head, "But I think the old lady just mentioned it casually. If she really wanted to, she should have asked someone to inquire about it, but in the end, the old lady obviously didn't mean to do so."

Tong'er thought for a while and sighed: "If the old lady really wants to reconcile with the Ye family, the girl at least has the protection of her maternal family. Then the Ji family should be more restrained on weekdays."

Ji Shuran's position in the big house is as stable as Mount Tai. In addition to Ji Shuran giving birth to a pair of children, it is also because of the support of the Ji family behind her. Not to mention Ji Shuran's father Ji Yanlin, even Ji Shuran's sister, the current Lipin, is the favourite of Emperor Hong Xiao.

And Jiang Li only has a dead biological mother and a maternal family that she has not been in contact with for a long time. In the Jiang family, except for relying on her own strength to block the knife and fight the sword, there is no means to rely on. This means that she will live very hard.

The difference between having someone to support her is here.

"It would have been nice if you had asked where the young master of the Ye family lived now." Tong'er was still unwilling to give up: "Maybe you could have established a good relationship with Xiangyang through the young master of the Ye family."

"Nothing." Jiang Li said: "There is still a chance later."

Bai Xue asked in a muffled voice: "Didn't the young master of the Ye family ask about your recent situation?"

"No need for me to ask," Jiang Li smiled and shook her head, "He will come to the door by himself."

Tong'er and Bai Xue looked at each other, and they didn't seem to believe Jiang Li's words. But no one expected that Jiang Li's words would come true on the second day.

The young master of the Ye family in Xiangyang, Jiang Li's nominal cousin, Ye Shijie, took the initiative to come to the door.
