Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 77 Part 5: Feast

Jiang You Yao heard and two red clouds flew up her cheeks. Since everyone was now aware of her and Zhou’s heir’s matter, she did not have to avoid and only shyly lowered her head without saying anything.

Jiang Yu’e however, was totally shocked. She already knew early on that Jiang You Yao and Zhou Yan Bang would sooner or later be fulfilled. But she didn’t expect it to be this quick. Zhou Yan Bang was Ningyuan Marquis’s heir; Ningyuan Marquis only had this one heir. In the future, the entire Ningyuan Marquis’s mansion would all be his. Jiang You Yao married over and would be the one managing the household and would immediately become the marchioness. Moreover, the Ningyuan Marquis’s heir, Zhou Yan Bang, was known as the beautiful man of Yanjing city, multi-talented with a gentle temperament. Her life after Jiang You Yao married over would definitely be very good.

Jiang You Yao was about to marry a good man; Jiang Yu’e couldn’t help thinking of herself. Her father was just a school secretary, no need to mention how humble his official rank was. In the Jiang family, he was just a concubine-born son who did not have a close relationship with the eldest uncle or the second uncle. Even though she put great effort in fawning over Ji Shuran, Ji Shuran certainly wouldn’t care too much about her marriage. There were very few people who could help her with her marriage. In any case, she couldn’t expect to have such an ideal husband like the one Jiang You Yao was going to marry.

Jiang Yu’e thought of her future destiny and couldn’t help sighing in her heart. There’s resentment as well as unwillingness.

Lu-shi said with a smile: “You Yao really has good fortune, Zhou heir is someone that everyone in Yanjing wants to marry into their family. But eldest sister in law, “ she asked, looking deeply concerned: “don’t forget that Li-er is also a member of our Jiang family. Li-er is the elder sister, her marriage is not yet decided but You Yao’s marriage has been decided earlier. It will unavoidably incur some gossip.”

This sentence was a bit subtle. Everyone knew that Jiang You Yao’s marriage originally belonged to Jiang Li. Jiang You Yao was just a turtledove occupying the magpie’s nest, she just seized other people’s opportunity.

Old madam Jiang closed her eyes slightly, turning a deaf ear towards the two daughter in laws’s fight. She had long been familiar with the scene currently playing before her eyes. Ji Shuran looked gentle and soft on the outside, but she actually had iron hands. Lu-shi was both vain and ambitious. It’s unavoidable for these two people to block each other when they gather. When all was said and done, it’s merely harmless little fights and it’s fine as long as it didn’t affect the overall situation.

“Thank you for younger sibling’s concern.” Ji Shuran appeared as if she didn’t hear the sarcasm in Lu-shi’s words. She replied politely: “Master also asked me to pay attention to Li-er’s marriage, it’s also the worry in my heart. With Li-er’s age, it should be the time for her to have a marriage agreement. It’s just that at the moment, there’s no one proposing marriage yet; I also haven’t found a good one and am reluctant to marry Li-er in a hurry. If younger sibling has a good candidate, please let me know. I will let master to personally look him over. After all, it’s Li-er’s major affair, I don’t dare to lightly decide. It’s better to let mother and master to look over it.”

Ji Shuran deftly avoided the words of Jiang You Yao forcibly taking someone’s marriage away while disparaging Jiang Li seamlessly. She said that there were many females in the family; Jiang Li had returned to Yanjing for so long yet nobody had come to the door to propose marriage to Jiang Li. Other people look down on Jiang Li, it’s impossible for the Jiang family to take the initiative and send their daughter over. Afterwards, she mentioned that Jiang Li’s marriage was entirely pushed onto old madam Jiang and Jiang Yuan Bai’s hand, removing herself cleanly.

As luck would have it, Jiang Li had just walked through Wan Feng Hall’s doorway and couldn’t help smiling upon hearing Ji Shuran’s words.

Tong’er was so angry her head emitted black smoke. Seeing Jiang Li was still able to smile, she was somewhat puzzled. Ji Shuran spoke of her like so, Jiang Li not only didn’t get angry, she still smiled. What’s so funny about this?

Jiang Li stepped into Wan Feng Hall and said: “Old madam.”

Old madam Jiang’s eyes darkened. Nowadays, Jiang Li called her “old madam” and not “grandmother”. She seemed to deliberately distancing the relationship with her, or to say, perhaps the relationship with the Jiang family. Naturally old madam Jiang could see that she couldn’t regard the current Jiang Li and the previous Jiang second miss as the same person. Jiang Li had changed so much and old madam Jiang didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Lu-shi opened her eyes, delighting in other’s misfortune. Thinking that Jiang Li heard the words Ji Shuran said just now, it’s inevitable for her to return with a few sentences and made Ji Shuran unhappy. She’s always glad when that happened.

But Jiang Li didn’t seem to hear the slander Ji Shuran spouted just now and after greeting old madam Jiang, she performed courtesy to each one of them without having the slightest blame towards Ji Shuran in her words.

Jiang Yu’e looked at the new pleated skirt with scattered flowers that Jiang Li had changed into, the rewards sent by old madam Jiang after the examination. Her eyes turned red from jealousy.

Jiang You Yao was staring at Jiang Li. Recalling what she had heard from the servant girl’s mouth that Zhou Yan Bang wanted to rescind the wedding arrangement with her and change it to Jiang Li, she couldn’t stop the bitter resentment in her eyes.

Jiang Li stood calmly, turning a blind eye to their gazes.

She didn’t care at all.
