Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 78 Part 4: Entering the Palace

Jiang Li merely smiled as she took in the scene before her eyes indifferently, making Jiang Yuan Bai feel somewhat ill at ease. Jiang Li could tell that Jiang You Yao acted spoiled towards Jiang Yuan Bai frequently. Perhaps Jiang Yuan Bai felt ill at ease now due to feeling guilty towards her, this other daughter.

However, she didnt have any sad expression. Seeing this, Jiang You Yao felt as if she was punching cotton, her heart was terribly stuffy. The always virtuous Ji Shuran also didnt put a stop to Jiang You Yaos provocative conduct. It was assumed that her daughter and father acting spoiled and noisy was a regular occurrence. Why did it need to be stopped?

Jiang Yuan Bai saw Jiang Li was unmoved and felt slightly disappointed. This daughter had turned out beautiful, outstanding and he as a father was proud. It appeared that Jiang Li had no complaint of the way he handled things that year, she also never grumbled. Perhaps this was due to Jiang Lis generosity, yet Jiang Yuan Bai thought that it was due more to Jiang Li not caring about it.

Jiang Li was spectating like a stranger.

At this moment, as she was sitting inside the carriage, Jiang Li was actually recalling the time when she entered the palace.

At that time, she was sincerely and deeply happy because of Shen Yurongs accomplishment and felt glad that she was his wife. She was afraid of making mistakes and caused Shen Yurong to lose face, therefore, she practiced nervously while in the residence. Shen Yurong laughed looking at her rare nervous moments and said to her: No need to be afraid, if Ah Li made a mistake and angered His Majesty, at most this husband would not become a government official. Then Ill go back to Tongxiang to farm with Ah Li.

She feigned anger and acted as if she was going to beat Shen Yurong, causing him to burst into laughter. Recalling this now, it was as if it was a lifetime ago. As a matter of fact, she didnt make a fool of herself at the palace. Instead, she did very well and the empress praised her intelligence. Shen Yurong also basically wouldnt lose his official title due to her. On the contrary, to climb up to nobility, he killed her.

Thinking real was unreal, thinking a lie was not a lie, truly real or fake. This time around, walking this road she had taken before, she would no longer be deceived.

She would also slowly walk towards the place she wanted to go. Bit by bit she would accomplish the matters she wanted to complete.

Taking revenge on behalf of her father and Xue Zhao, on behalf of herself that had suffered unjust death to demand justice.

Later, as the carriage traveled along, Jiang You Yao also no longer spoke and turned silent. Each person of the family was lost in their own thoughts. Time seemed to pass by very fast.

Approximately half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

The groom spoke from outside: Madam, Master, weve arrived.

Jiang Yuan Bai got off the carriage first, then a female servant came to support Ji Shuran. Jiang Li got off the carriage and stood on the land that was separated from the palace gate by a wall. She gazed deeply at the palace wall and for a moment, her mood was complicated.

Its this palace that a person such a malicious and domineering Princess Yongning was raised. Bullying the common people using her power, and Shen Yurong, in order to strive for a place in the splendid palace, sacrificed her without the slightest hesitation.

This palace looked magnificent, however, the people living inside, how many were like walking corpses? They dripped with gold and silver as if they had everything. But in fact, they had nothing. Jiang Li pitied and looked down on them. But she even more wasnt willing to associate with them.

Second sister, this is the palace gate. Jiang Yue spoke from behind as she got off from the carriage.

Jiang Li smiled, Jiang Jing Rui rolled his neck around uncomfortably. Today he had to dress formally and must not be as wanton as he usually was in the residence. For Jiang Jing Rui, this was simply asking for his life. On the contrary, Jiang Jing You beside him was as awfully polite as always. With Jiang Yuan Ping, these father and son practically look like they were cut from the same mold.

Outside the palace gate, government carriages came one after another. Those lower in grades came over to fawn and greet Jiang Yuan Bai. However, the Jiang family came a bit late and Jiang Yuan Bai had to first see Hong Xiao emperor. Thus they didnt stay at the palace gate for long and directly followed the person showing the way to go in.

At first Jiang You Yao thought that since it was the first time Jiang Li entered the palace, she would certainly be at a loss on what to do and be overly nervous. It would be even better if she could see Jiang Li making a fool of herself. Who would have imagined, when she turned her head, she instead saw Jiang Li lift her skirt slightly as she walked particularly leisurely.

It was as if the palace was her own backyard.

Jiang You Yao couldnt help feeling annoyed. When she first entered the palace, she was trembling with fear, afraid of making mistakes. But Jiang Li didnt seem to have any fear. Jiang You Yao was waiting to point out Jiang Lis fault but soon they arrived at their destination and Jiang Li didnt make any careless mistakes.

Old madam Jiang was very satisfied. After all, among the younger generation going today, Jiang Li was the only one who was most unfamiliar with the palace. She was afraid Jiang Li would make a mistake first. Now, it seemed that Jiang Li did very well and there shouldnt be any problem.
