Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 29 Part 2: Identify

“Yu’e, shut up!” Yang shi had a timid temperament. Seeing the more Jiang Yu’e talked, the more excessive she became, she couldn’t help opening her mouth to stop her. It had to be known that in the whole Jiang family house, the third branch held the least status. Jiang Yu’e borrowing this moment to win the favor of Jiang Youyao would also offend Jiang Li. Even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse1, no matter how Jiang Li fell, she was still Jiang Yuan Bai’s biological daughter. Who knew whether there wouldd be a day where she would get power.

Jiang Yu’e had said what she wanted to say and no longer opened her mouth to speak. She took another look at the surrounding guests and looked at Jiang Li’s sight, clearly bearing a restraining fear.

The circumstances where Jiang Li harmed the stepmother and murdered the stepbrother seemed to once again appear bloodily in front of the guests present. Furthermore, this time, due to Jiang Yu’e’s words, an image was conjured in everyone’s mind where under the dim lights, Jiang Li fiercely used a knife to repeatedly cut and stab the head ornament until it reached this look.

Snake and scorpion heart, vicious and merciless.

At last, Madam Liu could no longer bear. Ye Zhen Zhen and her were good friends and she had an affinity with Jiang Li on Mount Qingcheng. She had an indescribable fondness towards Jiang Li, seeing how her good friend’s child became the target of public criticism, she spoke out: “Jiang second miss is good-natured, not that kind of person.”

Her voice just fell, within the crowd, no idea which madam spoke a line with a small voice: “it seems that good-natured people with attractive looks are the most hideous. One may know a person for a long time without understanding their true nature.”

Although the voice was small, it came through clearly in everyone’s ears. Madam Liu’s complexion was ashen.

During this time, Jiang Youyao had been sobbing. She used to have the appearance of always smiling innocently. As she was crying, her eyes were filled with tears and attracted the tender affections of everyone. She sobbed quietly: “Second sister, why do you treat me like this? Originally I thought, second sister has long ago solved the knot between us.......”

“I don’t have any knots in my heart, also didn’t damage this head ornament.” Jiang Li looked at her, appearing somewhat helpless: “But you don’t believe it, then that’s fine.”

“Bad person! Bad person!” Jiang Bing Ji who was held in his nanny’s hand suddenly screamed and shouted.

“It’s noisy enough!” Old Madam Jiang unexpectedly spoke in a high tone. She got up with the help of a servant girl and held her crutches. She looked around coldly at the surrounding and the guests were at once silenced. Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Li and spoke coldly: “This head ornament really wasn’t cut by you?”

Liang Li spoke: “No.”

“Do you have any proof?” She asked.

Jiang Li looked beside Old Madam Jiang where Jiang Yuan Bai was looking at her, his gaze was somewhat wavering. Ji Shuran was covering her face with her sleeve, as if she was completely heart-broken. Lu shi was pretending not to know anything, just wearing an expression of watching a play. As for Yang shi, she was glaring at Jiang Yu’e in warning.

The entire Jiang residence were people who pretended to be the wall and just observed. Aside from Tong’er, no other person was by her side.

“I can let my servant girl, Xiang Qiao, come and testify for me.” Jiang Li spoke: “After I bought the head ornament, Xiang Qiao put it away on my behalf. I haven’t touched it afterwards.”

Old Madam Jiang instructed the person beside her: “Call Xiang Qiao here.”

In a flash, Xiang Qiao was brought over by someone. Jiang Li asked her: “Xiang Qiao, you helped me put away the set of head ornaments inside the small box. You clearly saw that I didn’t touch it.”

Xiang Qiao lowered her head, her body shook slightly. She didn’t reply for a long time. Just as everyone was baffled with her reaction, suddenly Xiang Qiao knelt down on the floor and wept: “Second miss, I’m sorry, this servant cannot lie.” Not waiting for Jiang Li to speak, she turned towards Old Madam Jiang and knocked her head and yelled: “Old madam, this servant will tell everything. It was precisely the second miss who cut the head ornament with a knife. This servant saw it with her own eyes!”

There was an uproar.
