Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 60 Part 1: Covering the Capital with Flowers

The time she left Wan Feng Hall was earlier than what Jiang Li was anticipating.

Tonger, who was burning with anxiety, was walking back and forth at the gate to Fang Fei Garden. Seeing the two, Jiang Li and Bai Xue, returning, she stared blankly for a while before speaking: Why is it so fast?

Jiang Li smiled: Yes ah, its faster than I thought.

At first she thought the three branches would jointly nag for a while and didnt expect that it wouldnt take long. First, it was because Jiang Li acknowledged her mistake sincerely. Second, what was done couldnt be undone and the bet could not be cancelled now. Both old madam Jiang and Jiang Yuan Bai couldnt come up with any solution, Ji Shuran and Jiang You Yao were looking forward to Jiang Lis scandal. In spite of everything, this matter was decided smoothly without a hitch.

Jiang Yuan Bai was still thinking of looking for a teacher to properly teach Jiang Li in these few days, so as not to lose too ugly. But Jiang Li tactfully refused him. Jiang Li merely said that it was barely enough with only a few days and it was better for her to nurture her spirit.

Jiang Yuan Bai probably felt that Jiang Lis head was blocked and gave a deep sigh before storming away in a huff. Jiang Li guess he probably went to think of other ways.

After they entered the room, Tonger poured a cup of tea for Jiang Li and said: No matter what the result will be, even if miss loses, that is still an upright loss. Its more courageous compared with those who even dare not to compete and retreat.

I think miss will not lose. Bai Xue said seriously: Miss is a blessed person.

Jiang Li was amused by Bai Xues words but felt sad after laughing. If she was a blessed person, she wouldnt have met Shen Yurong and caused harm to the Xue family and caused them to be ruined.

She had only sat for a moment before Jiang Jing Rui turned up uninvited and full of joy. He should have just returned from outside and had not yet returned to his own courtyard as he was carrying a cage with a long-horned grasshopper inside. He immediately spoke when he saw Jiang Li: Jiang Li, you are so amazing. Now your bet is spread widely outside. My close pals all know that I have this cousin and really wanted to have a glimpse at your style.

Im not a famous courtesan from the brothel, what style is there to see? Jiang Li said without any restraint.

His tea had not yet gone down and Jiang Jing Rui almost coughed it out. He shouted: What words are you talking about! You are a girl, speak a bit more refinely! If eldest uncle heard these words, youd have to write 10,000 words of the family rules in the ancestral hall.

Okay, so what did you come here for? Jiang Li asked.

That strange feeling again rose up in Jiang Jing Ruis heart. He was clearly older than Jiang Li, but he often felt that he was like a younger brother. Jiang Li was like an adult who refused to amuse a child and endured with his willful temper.

But today he wasnt here to make trouble. Jiang Jing Rui said: cough, cough, although the way you responded to the bet was very much like my style back then, this time, your deed was really too impetuous. A young lady really kneels to apologize, in the future, do you still want to marry? You should have thought about it at that time. That Meng familys girl is not a good person, she was evidently waiting for you to fall into a pit.

Are you that certain that the one kneeling to apologize would be me? asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Jing Rui looked at her: I know you are unwilling to concede, unreconciled, but now is not the time to get peeved. I reckon eldest uncle is perhaps thinking of other ways so you wont lose too badly. I have some silver here. Jiang Jing Rui took out three banknotes from his chest, Lend it to you. You use these silvers, go to Ming Yi Hall and take a look, see if anyone is willing to help you.

This was to let Jiang Li use silver to bribe her fellow students, to help her cheat.

Jiang Li glanced at the pitifully few banknotes in Jiang Jing Ruis hand and calmly opened her mouth: If you take out several tens of those banknotes, then perhaps that will be possible.
