Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 76 Part 4: Breaking Marriage Contract

Yuan Bao saw Ye Shijies surprised expression and asked: Eldest young master, what happened?

Father and second uncle are going to deliver goods to Yanjing. Ye Shijie said: They are already on the road, probably theyll arrive in about seven days.

Oh? Yuan Bao was stunned and foolishly opened his mouth to say, then, do we still write a letter back?

Write. Ye Shijie said. However, just writing about his situation would do. He thought inwardly, since father and second uncle Ye were coming to Yanjing, he could be considered having ones family present to consult on Jiang Lis suspicions. At that time, they could naturally talk it over instead of him having a headache over it by himself.

With this thought, Ye Shijie felt relaxed at once. In two three moves, he folded the first letter and sealed it inside an envelope before handing it to Yuan Bao. Send it. He said.

Yuan Bao received it happily: Okay!

After the examination ended, theres no need for the students to go to Ming Yi Hall for the time being and they could rest at home for a few days.

On the second day, Jiang Lis people stood at the gate of the Imperial College and following Jiang Lis words, they declared that the wager with Meng Hong Jin was null and there was no need to brood over it.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Lis value in the eyes of the people in Yanjing rose again. She had put in a lot of effort for this bet, yet after her success, she didnt hold on to it and refused to let go. Her heart was wide and she had benevolence, it was extremely hard to come by.

Consequently, Meng Hong Jin had, in contrast, become a joke.

Not only that, because Jiang Li showed an extremely gentle appearance, people started to doubt whether theres something hidden in the matter of Jiang Li harming the stepmother and murdering her brother. On the account of such a gentle and lovely lady, no matter how they looked at her, she didnt resemble someone who could do such a ruthless thing.

Moreover, Ji Shuran was a stepmother. This relationship was subtle and the guesses also differed.

These words made their way into Ji Shurans ears and her anger wasnt small. However, as a result, her treatment towards Jiang Li became even more virtuous and devoted, which made Jiang Li feel somewhat ill at ease.

Inwarm and virtuous garden, the servant girls inside and outside were working earnestly. Everyone knew that Ji Shurans mood wasnt too good these days. The servants were in fear that a mistake in their work would be made into a scapegoat and they worked even more carefully compared to ordinary days.

Two servant girls stood on guard by the door. Inside the house, the ice cubes inside the copper ox couldnt seem to solve the summer heat. The summer days were coming to an end and the days had become stifling hot, provoking peoples mood to be impatient and restless.

Ji Shuran was in the middle of chatting with her sister, Ji Chen-shi.

Ji Chen-shi came over first thing in the morning looking for Ji Shuran. Jiang Yuan Bai wasnt in the residence, Ji Chen-shi said: What have you been doing these past few days? Do you know what the people outside are talking about you now? Even Ive heard those gossips, saying that the matter where Jiang Li harmed the mother and murdered the brother perhaps was something that you pretended to do.

It was still okay if this matter wasnt mentioned, once this matter was raised, Ji Shuran was thoroughly angry and said: Older sister, why are you blaming me? This was spread by the people outside, up and down in my courtyard, no one dares to mention this.

No matter who brought it up, more rumors have spread. Its not a good thing for you. Ji Chen-shi said: This was the matter that came out because of the involvement with that girl. Why couldnt you even handle a little girl?

Before Ji Chen-shi and Ji Shuran got married, their relationship was very close. Compared with Ji Shurans generally graceful and subdued stance when doing things, Ji Chen-shi was much tougher.

Ji Shuran spoke in a bad mood: That girl is slippery and too clever. Dont say me, perhaps if its you against her would also need strenuous effort. Did you thoroughly see how the Meng family is now? Meng Hong Jin has clearly suffered a double loss.At first I thought since Meng Hong Jin was going to deal with her, Id be the fisherman and just reap the benefits. Who would have thought Meng Hong Jin was of no use. She not only didnt succeed, but still managed to get herself thrown inside.

Whats going on? Ji Chen-shi was startled: Meng Hong Jins matter also had something to do with her?

Ji Shuran proceeded to carefully inform Ji Chen-shi about Meng Hong Jin and Jiang Lis matter. She concluded: Ever since Jiang Li returned to Yanjing, she hasnt suffered any losses. Her age and You Yaos age werent much different, but you see, her tolerance and ingenuity was much better than You Yao. Leaving her in the residence, in the future, how would You Yao be her opponent?

Listening to you, Ji Chen-shi muttered to herself before saying: Jiang Li cannot stay, afraid in the coming days, she will become more outstanding. Its better for you to make arrangements for her to leave as soon as possible.

You mean. give her a marriage? Ji Shuran said: It is doable, its just that Master will definitely ask about it.

Isnt that simple? Ji Chen-shi sneered: there are countless pampered sons of wealthy families that have gilded exterior but ruined on the inside, just find one that seems pretty good. Just someone whos not very outstanding, you marry her over and in two three years the person would disappear. Outsiders also wouldnt search for it, isnt it such a simple matter?

Older sister, you help me pay attention. Ji Shuran said: If theres such a person, Ill find a way to tell Master, let him set the marriage.
