Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 58 Part 2: Accompany
The audience all dispersed in groups of twos or threes while looking at Jiang Li with pity and contempt, as if they had already seen the ending where her face was lost. Jiang You Yao walked over, looked at Jiang Li and said: Second sister, why do you want to compare with Miss Meng? Hong Jin is always in the top three in every examination in Mingyi Hall. This time you clashing with her is really not a sensible act.
Jiang Li looked at her and said: According to third sisters meaning, I should now find Meng Hong Jin and ask her to cancel the stake?
Jiang You Yao stiffened for a moment before she opened her mouth anxiously: But at present all the people at Mingyi Hall have witnessed it. Second sister, if you cancel the stake then other people would think that you are a sore loser and will implicate the reputation of our entire family.
Jiang Li spoke: Since thats the case, the stake must not be cancelled. Third sister also doesnt need to worry about me. I, this person, have always had excellent luck. If by any chance this times luck is also good, then the bet will be won, right?
Jiang You Yao smiled: Then its great. Yet her tone was completely unconvinced.
After Jiang You Yaos departure, Liu Xu walked over. She looked at Jiang You Yaos back and spoke with contempt: Your third sister is clearly a person who hits a person that is down, waiting to look at you becoming joke.
Shes somewhat stupid. Jiang Li laughed. Jiang You Yao wished to see her being thoroughly discredited and lost her face. But she never thought that both glory and loss were borne together. If she really lost and fulfilled the stake of kneeling down to Meng Hong Jin, the one losing face was the entire Jiang family. How could Jiang You Yao, as the daughter of the Jiang family, be singled out as still being good?
Jiang You Yao didnt understand this principle, or perhaps, although she understood, she would rather suffer damage to herself as long as Jiang Li was humiliated. Just like Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao.
Its all because of me. Liu Xu looked guiltily at Jiang Li, I was spurred by them just now. If it wasnt because of me, you wouldnt need to be this way.
Its not just for you. Jiang Li appeased her, they are deliberately nitpicking. Even if it wasnt this matter, they would always make excuses to create trouble. Who has the mind to guard thieves for a thousand days? Its better to borrow this chance to deal with it once and for all.
But what should you do now? Liu Xu said: I thought since you dare to agree to the bet, you ought to have some confidence. However, Mingyi Halls 6 arts are really difficult. I wont conceal it from you, every year for the examination, I would have one or two subjects that fall behind. While you just returned to Yanjing.
Actually, I have a high retentive memory. Jiang Li winked at her.
Liu Xu stared blankly and nearly cried out in surprise: Really?
Of course its a lie. Jiang Li laughed and patted her shoulder, but Im also not as hopeless as they thought. Dont worry about me, properly review your lessons. Just wait for the day after the examination when Meng Hong Jin kneels at the Imperial Colleges gate to apologize.
Liu Xu still wanted to say something but Jiang Li had changed the topic. Although she was still endlessly worried, seeing that Jiang Li still had a smile on her face, she didnt know why, but Liu Xu had an indescribable sense of relief. She was absolutely certain with Jiang Lis words.
Perhaps she really had ways.
Jiang Li smiled faintly inside. Nothing but a school examination. Meng Hong Jins provocation had indeed made her somewhat impatient. However, there was another purpose attracting her. If she came first in the rankings, she could enter the palace to receive the emperors gift.
During the places night feast, the courts new upstart, the current official in the Ministry of Rites, Shen Yurong, should be present. There would also be Princess Yongning.
She truly wanted to see these two people. Even if she couldnt do anything, even though at the moment she still couldnt kill the enemies with her own hands, even if she could only sit far away from them, it was okay to just see their faces.
In this way, she was able to keep remembering the Xue familys miscarriage of justice at all times, the blood feud of close relatives.
Could not forget, didnt dare to forget.
Yess Im finally done with my exams, today I took what will probably be my last exams in many years! hehe Im so happy^^ last week was hectic, I flied back home, studied like crazy and went to a concert i was dying for to go (yass it was super amazing zero regrets!) and now my life is a bit freer without exams so i hope to settle all the other things bit by bit and dedicate some more time to the blog, which i have left rather abandoned this past year
also, a reader asked if I could make the font size a bit bigger since it was a bit hard for them to read, so I increased it since last week, thinking that this is actually for the benefit of all readers (im sure you all spend many hours a day in front of the phone and a bigger font size will make it easier on your eyes), did anyone notice? any feedback (hopefully positive)?
good luck everyone writing their finals, youre almost there!
