Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 142 Spread

Ji Shuran's death should have been a big deal, but in the Jiang Mansion, it was not as important as Aunt Hu. But in any case, in just a few days, two people died in the Jiang Mansion, and the bloody truth of the past was exposed to everyone. 

The atmosphere in the Jiang Mansion was not light. This winter was also colder than in previous years.

Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai seemed to want to make up for Jiang Li's past regrets. They obeyed Jiang Li in everything and took care of everything. Zhnezhu and Fei Yu, who were around the old lady, came several times to give clothes and silver. 

Jiang Li treated them and accepted them gently. It seemed that there was no estrangement. But when Old Madam Jiang knew Jiang Li's reaction, she sighed deeply.

Ji Shuran was to be buried, but it was said that she died of a sudden illness at night. No matter how people outside pointed fingers, or whether they were confused or puzzled, the Ji family members, who were Ji Shuran's mother's family, did not say anything, and obviously acquiesced to this fact.

So, although people in Yanjing City would gossip about whether there was any hidden reason for Ji Shuran's death after dinner, because there was no evidence, they changed the topic after a few words.

Ji Shuran's coffin was buried after seven days. During the seven days, only Jiang Youyao kept vigil for Ji Shuran. Jiang Bingji was too young. Jiang Li was Ji Shuran's daughter in name, but Ji Shuran killed her biological mother. 

How could she keep vigil for the murderer of her mother? As for the rest of the Jiang family, Ji Shuran had so many lives on her shoulders and had killed her previous wife. Anyone who would stand guard for such a murderer would be against Old Lady Jiang.

Jiang Youyao endured the humiliation and stood guard for Ji Shuran alone. When she first learned that Ji Shuran had died, Jiang Youyao wanted to find Old Lady Jiang and Jiang Yuanbo to argue, but the two of them would not see her at all. 

It was Jinhua beside Jiang Youyao who reminded her that this was Old Lady Jiang's intention. Jiang Youyao finally recognized the facts, and at the same time, she was filled with deep fear.

The Jiang family could kill her mother without hesitation, and they could also kill her without hesitation! Fear overcame sadness, and Jiang Youyao didn't even want to appeal for Ji Shuran's injustice. 

At first, she wanted to put all her hopes on the Ji family. She just waited for the Ji family to come to the Jiang family and let the Ji family take her away. But the Ji family had never shown up since Ji Shuran's death.

There was no condolences.

At that moment, Jiang Youyao really understood that her mother and herself were abandoned by the Ji family. From then on, she could only rely on herself in the Jiang family.

All these things were passed to Jiang Li through Tong'er's mouth. Jiang Li was not surprised by Jiang Youyao's behaviour. Ji Shuran always considered everything for Jiang Youyao, and naturally developed the habit of relying on others for help when something happened. But the Ji family might disappoint her this time. 

In order to maintain the relationship with the Jiang family, at least on the surface, the Ji family would not do anything to defend Ji Shuran.

Ji Shuran had been buried, Jiang Youyao was temporarily quiet, and no trouble happened in the mansion. Jiang Li still went to the Ye Mansion every day to see Situ Jiuyue giving acupuncture to Xue Huaiyuan. Although there was still no improvement, at least she had a thought in her heart.

But on this day, the rare peace was broken.

Jiang Li just got up and asked Tong'er to comb her hair, planning to go to the Ye Mansion for a stroll. Qingfeng suddenly ran into the inner room and said, "Miss, something happened!"
