Chapter 36 Part 1: Discussion
Jiang Li looked at the two people in front of her.
Jiang You Yao and Zhou Yan Bang were standing very close to each other. Their marriage was known throughout the whole capital, it was understandable as soon-to-marry couple that they were a bit close. But looking at Zhou Yan Bang’s complexion, he looked a bit ill at ease.
Jiang You Yao once again started talking naively: “Second sister, what were you two talking about just now, so full of heartfelt emotions? Why didn’t you continue after I arrived?”
“We didn’t say anything,” Jiang Li said: “It was just accidentally meeting the heir and merely called out a greeting before you quickly arrived.” Jiang Li laughed: “Since third sister is here, third sister should get along well with the heir. I’ll go back first.” After she finished talking, she didn’t wait for Zhou Yan Bang and Jiang You Yao’s reply and directly left, taking Tong’er along with her.
Zhou Yan Bang couldn’t help gazing at Jiang Li’s departing back. Jiang You Yao saw this and secretly clenched her teeth.
On the road back, Tong’er asked Jiang Li in a low voice: “Miss, it’s better for you not to pay attention to Zhou heir.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Seeing that Jiang Li wasn’t angry, Tong’er had a bit more courage and said: “Although miss and Zhou heir had an engagement before, the person who is engaged to Zhou heir at this time is the third miss. Now miss has come back, but master will not wish to revert the engagement. Marriage is not a trifling matter, going back and changing minds two or three times, we, the Jiang family will become the laughingstock in Yanjing. Master definitely won’t let this matter happen.”
“The second thing,” while talking, Tong’er sized up Jiang Li’s expression, “just now this Zhou heir’s expression while looking at miss was too affectionate. He is currently third miss’s fiancé, not only did he not pay attention to his status, he still behaved like this. It’s clear that he really is not a good match. Miss.......”
“I know.” Jiang Li smiled: “I naturally know he isn’t a good match. However, our Tong’er can actually think so much, truly has made me sit up and take notice.”
Tong’er, this girl was carefree. In normal days, except for her loyalty, there was nothing particularly special. Unexpectedly, despite being usually careless, she was quite sharp at times and would not be blinded by momentary benefit. Jiang Li liked it very much.
Tong’er heard Jiang Li praising herself and laughed: “Miss doesn’t need to panic. Our lady is Jiang family’s miss from the first legal wife. Don’t need to mention Ningyuan Marquis’s heir, even being a princess1 is possible. In the days that follow, slowly pick a good husband that can match you well.”
Jiang Li smiled when she heard her. In the end, Tong’er was still a bit naive and wasn’t aware how fearful gossips could be. With just her sole charge of formerly plotting to murder her stepmother, it was already sufficient to let her be of no interest in Yanjing. Otherwise, at that time Jiang Yuanbai wouldn’t send her to the nunnery. It was because he knew Jiang second miss would not go through life any better in Yanjing .
But, in any case, she wasn’t planning to marry in this life.
......
Meanwhile, in Warm and Graceful Courtyard, Ji shi and Ji Chen shi were talking.
(Ji shi is Ji Shuran and Ji Chen shi is her sister)
The guests had all dispersed. Today, Jiang You Yao’s birthday ceremony had actually become a mess, everything was in disorder. Others saw it and would say that as the female master, she could not manage the household and that the backyard was disorderly.
Jiang Yuanbai’s eyes as he was leaving made Ji shi thoroughly angry. Jiang Yuanbai had clearly blamed her.
Originally, she wanted to pack up Jiang Li nicely, but Jiang Li unexpectedly managed to free herself and retreat. Along the way, she also made her lose one of her servant girls, Xiang Qiao. Not just this, today, people with discerning eyes could see through the twists and turns. Those madams and young ladies liked talking about matters in the backyard the most. The smart ones could make out that there was something strange.
