Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 93 Part 1: the Ye Family

The following few days passed by very ordinarily with nothing particular happening. Jiang Li talked to the teachers of Ming Yi Hall about her going to Xiangyang then just waited for Ye Ming Xuan to go together.

Old madam Jiang called Jiang Li to Wan Feng Hall several times to instruct her, probably also found her valuable in regards to the relationship to the Ye family as she went back this time. On the contrary, for the first time, Ji Shuran mother and daughter didn’t come to stir up trouble. Jiang Li was clear in her heart, Ji Shuran certainly would not leave the matter at that and was perhaps in the middle of coming up with a new plan. It’s just that at the moment she was eager and wanted to go back to her hometown, so she didn’t spend much energy paying attention to this pair of mother and daughter.

Jiang Jing Rui often went to Fang Fei Garden, it was nothing but had not yet given up on the idea of going together with Jiang Li to the Ye family. It was unknown how his thought process went, not obediently staying in Yanjing, all day long wanting to go all over the place to have fun. Unexpectedly, Ye Shijie also came over once, but he didn’t mention the matter of going to Xiangyang, he merely talked about the things that occurred in his work recently in the Ministry of Revenue.

After Ye Shijie started his work in the Ministry of Revenue, many people watched from the sidelines to see which side he would be part of in the end. With the relationship of the Ye family and the Jiang family, Ye Shijie ought to be in the same faction as the chief assistant. But the people in Yanjing were all aware that the Ye family and the Jiang family had broken their contacts many years ago. The conjecture was that Ye Shijie would perhaps enter Cheng Wang’s faction sometime in the future. After all, the current Cheng Wang’s power had gradually grown bigger. However, Jiang Li thought that Ye Shijie was still loyal to Hong Xiao Emperor. For some reason, she had this feeling that even though Hong Xiao Emperor was at present didn’t seem to have abundant influence, this monarch who ascended the throne since he was a youngster wasn’t as simple as how he appeared on the surface.

The days passed like this, in a blink of an eye, it was already 10 days later. Ye Ming Xuan came to pick up Jiang Li to depart Yanjing and set off to Xiangyang together.

This time, it’s rare for old madam Jiang to also come out to send them off at the gate. Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yu’e’s shadows still couldn’t be seen, Ji Shuran smiled as she said to Ye Ming Xuan: “Pay attention to safety all the way, we’ll entrust Li-er in your care.”

Ye Ming Xuan smiled and said: “Rest assured.”

Ye Shijie said: “The time is no longer early, let’s start now. Going earlier can go further on the road and you’ll arrive in Xiangyang earlier.”

Jiang Li turned around and slightly saluted old madam Jiang as she said: “Father, grandmother do not need to be worried. After seeing maternal grandmother, I will return early.”

“Naturally.” The love in Ji Shuran’s eyes were clear and excessive as she said: “We’ll wait for you to come back.”

Jiang Li smiled slightly and no longer hesitated. Tong’er helped her to go up the carriage. The curtain on the carriage was put down, disconnecting the sights of the Jiang family outside. Only Ye Ming Xuan’s instructions commanding the team could be heard. The carriages rumbled as they moved forward.

At this point, her heart relaxed and she immediately became excited.

This is....... the way home.

Although she was no longer Xue Fang Fei, although she had turned into the chief assistant family’s noble daughter, at long last, she was walking on the road to go back home.

......

If you rushed and did not delay, from Yanjing city to Xiangyang, it would take more than a month. Fortunately, the road was not too rugged and could still be considered as an official road, unlike the danger on the road from Mount Qingcheng to Xiangyang. Moreover, Ye Ming Xuan was a cautious person, specially hiring an armed escort service to protect Jiang Li’s safety. Jiang Yuan Bai also allocated a few guards, so if they encountered hijacking on the road, they could still retreat.

Thankfully, the whole journey was completely safe and sound and they did not encounter any danger whatsoever. Ye Ming Xuan originally thought that Jiang Li was pampered and delicate, not accustomed to this kind of journey. After all, from the city of Yanjing to Xiangyang, compared to the city of Yanjing to Mount Qingcheng was still further. In case Jiang Li was not used to the road, the entire team had to slow down. When they arrived in Xiangyang, it would inevitably be much later.

However, Jiang Li’s performance had gone beyond everyone’s expectation.

She wasn’t picky at all, and was very easy to serve. Staying in an inn was fine, putting up in the carriage was also okay and she had never once cried out of bitterness. There were times that they could not find an inn at night and had to stay outdoors. The guards would go hunting and roast rabbits and Jiang Li would look from the side with exhilaration. When the guards handled the roasting incorrectly, she would still assist a little. This directly stunned Ah Fu, the servant boy following Ye Ming Xuan. He secretly said to Ye Ming Xuan: “Seeing the second miss like this, it seems that she has done this kind of thing no less and is familiar.”

Ye Ming Xuan also felt weird. Even his own son, Ye Ru Feng, who had been mischievous since childhood, could not do better than Jiang Li. Jiang Li was the noble eldest daughter, but she did this kind of thing without the slightest discomfort, even seemingly very accustomed to.

When asking Jiang Li, she merely smiled and said: “While in the nunnery in Mount Qingcheng, many times Tong’er and I went outside to catch hares. The vegetarian meals were not filling, luckily there were many rabbits on the mountain.”

Even though Tong’er was puzzled inside as to when Jiang Li and she went to grab rabbits, she didn’t reveal anything on her face and immediately nodded. Though Ye Ming Xuan didn’t comment anything, he smiled and heaved a sigh. It’s not known whether it was lamenting or taking pity.

This trip actually went smoother than what Jiang Li had imagined. As a result, when they quickly arrived in the city walls of Xiangyang, only one month had passed. According to the original plan, there was approximately still another half a month left. However, since Jiang Li wasn’t being noisy throughout the journey and the team did not stop, they moved very fast.
