Marriage of the Di Daughter
Chapter 102 Part 3: End of the Play
Jiang Li let out her breath and changed her dress before sitting down. Then Bai Xue handed her a cup of tea. The two servant girls did not know what had happened. The young lady was chatting with Ye Ming Yu at the residence’s gate for a while, why does it seem that something terrible had occurred?
Jiang Li sipped the hot tea and her heart gradually calmed down.

Today, she originally wanted to have a chat with Ji Heng to find his depth. Who would know that she would come into the scene of Jin Man Tang assassinating Ji Heng. Apparently, Xiangyang was also not that peaceful. Those people clearly came for Ji Heng, she originally had no relations with Ji Heng, but in those people’s eyes, perhaps her relationship with Ji Heng appeared deep. If they changed their spearheads towards her, that was truly an absurd calamity. Now the Ye family’s affair was not yet resolved, she was still carrying Xue family’s blood debt, she did not wish to add anymore trouble on herself.
Must keep far away from him.
After the matters in Xiangyang are resolved and back to Yanjing, I must not have any dealings with Ji Heng. This person’s mind is too deep, the secrets he conceals do not seem to be light, it’s better if he has nothing to do with her.
“Today is already the seventh day…..” she muttered.
Seven days had already passed since she spoke at Li Zheng Tang’s doorway. Adding the time when she wrote a letter to Ye Shijie, after counting, in these two days, the Weaving Unit officials should arrive.
The Weaving Unit official plus the outer room that was in other people’s hands, Tong Zhi Yang would not dare to obstruct from the inside. At least, the Ye family’s matter would not likely to become worse. Even if the Right Prime Minister had set a trap at the back, with the relationship with the Jiang family, the Ye family would be safe for the time being.
Aside from the Ye family affairs, the most important reason why she came to Xiangyang was for Xue Huai Yuan. She didn’t know how Xi Hua Lou’s Qiong Zhi’s inquiries went. The time was pressing, she had to find an opportunity to make the trip to Tongxiang herself.
……
Two days later, the official from the Weaving Unit arrived in Xiangyang.
The Weaving Unit official directly went to see Tong Zhi Yang first thing. With Ye Shijie’s report to the Weaving Unit describing what was happening to the ancient fragrant satin in Xiangyang using Jiang family’s name, the Weaving Unit official in Yanjing was immediately aware that this matter was extremely important. The Ye family was the newly appointed official of the Ministry of Revenue’s family, which was also the current chief assistant, Jiang Yuan Bai’s former in-laws. No matter how, they must not overlook it. Thus they promptly dispatched people to go to Xiangyang as fast as possible, continuously hurrying on the road day and night to thoroughly investigate this matter.
Tong Zhi Yang did not expect the people from Yanjing to arrive this quickly. These days, he kept thinking about the mother and son he raised outside, nearly turning the entire city upside down. But no matter how, they still could not find them. The whole person was distracted and slacked off on the matter of the Ye family. He did not carefully ponder upon it, merely thought that he had already explained everything that happened in Xiangyang in the letter that he had sent to his brother in law. He would wait and see how his brother in law would handle this.
But before he received his brother in law’s reply, the Weaving Unit official had already arrived. Tong Zhi Yang did not know any good way and had no alternative but to first cope with it, thinking that he could drag it for a couple more days. When the letter from Yanjing arrived, he would then know which step he should take next.
“Master Tang,” Tong Zhi Yang said with a smile across his face: “The Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin caused people’s deaths, now the people of the Ye family that’s involved are still kept in our government office. This weaving matter should be managed by you, but the matter about people’s deaths are managed by us. Therefore the two masters in the Ye family cannot be released.”
The person from the Weaving Unit that was dispatched to investigate this matter thoroughly was called Tang Fan. He couldn’t say anything after hearing Tong Zhi Yang’s words. What Tong Zhi Yang said was not wrong, they, the Weaving Unit, only dealt with weaving manufacturing, not murders. Since the Ye family’s cloths caused people’s deaths, indeed the government office should investigate them.
“No problem.” Jiang Li, who came together with Ye Ming Yu to discuss the matter, smiled and said: “We are not requesting Uncle Ming Hui and Uncle Ming Xuan to be released now.”
Tang Fan sighed in relief internally. Before he came, his superior had explicitly told him that this case had something to do with the Jiang family and the Ye family. The most important was the chief assistant’s Jiang family. He was the head scholar in Yanjing and must absolutely not be offended. Moreover, in the recent months in Yanjing, Jiang Li’s matter was spread vigorously. Everyone knew the Jiang family’s second miss was an amazing person. Jiang second miss wanted to protect the Ye family, they had no way but to comply. If Jiang second miss was not willing to overlook and insisted on the two masters of the Ye family right at this moment, they, the Weaving Unit, had no choice but to get into a dispute with the government office.
Instead, Tong Zhi Yang was stunned.
At Li Zheng Tang’s gate, Jiang second miss’s speech was severe. Tong Zhi Yang knew in his heart that this chief assistant’s noble daughter was certainly a bossy and domineering young lady. Since she took the initiative to stand up for the Ye family, she would definitely protect Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan. If he used this reason to refuse, they would be in a deadlock with the people from the Weaving Unit and this entanglement certainly would not be resolved quickly. In this case, he could use this to buy himself some time, waiting for the reply from Yanjing to arrive.
Unexpectedly, Jiang second miss was easy to talk to and simply agreed.
Tong Zhi Yang thought that this was Jiang Li’s trick and couldn’t help looking suspiciously at Jiang Li. But he saw the girl with delicate features smiling gently without any scheming, and she appeared simple and pure.
Perhaps she was just bluffing when in actuality, she is just a little girl who doesn’t understand anything? Tong Zhi Yang was puzzled, and after a second thought, it was not a big deal that Jiang Li was easy to talk to although he could not buy time. Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan who managed the Ye family were locked up and there’s no one to be in charge in the Ye family. That Ye Ming Yu did not understand the Ye family’s business and could not act accordingly, Ye Jia Er and Ye Rufeng were just two inexperienced children. The Ye family was just like loose sand without anyone in charge. Even if the Weaving Unit official arrived, presumably, they would not be able to find anything out. After insisting for a few days without any results, there should be new orders from Yanjing’s side.
Thinking up to here, Tong Zhi Yang at once felt his whole body relaxed. He smiled and said: “So, we, the government office will no longer get involved with the matter of ancient fragrant satin. Master Tang, please investigate this case carefully and give an explanation to the people in Xiangyang.”
Tang Fan said: “That’s our duty.”
Ye Ming Yu also said: “Everything is left to Master Tang.”
Tong Zhi Yang felt that even if the Ye family invited the Weaving Unit, they had no way for the time being. As he was immensely pleased with himself, he heard Jiang Li say: “Master Tang, the ready-made clothes made from ancient fragrant satin which caused the people to contract rashes before had all been returned to us. Now the subordinates in the house have packed all those clothes in a box and sent them to the weaving yard under the mountain.”
