Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 81 Part 2: Future Prospects
How could it be so fast? Ji Shuran thought doubtfully. She thought the medicine would only take effect slowly later on. Now that Jiang Li had said so, she had no option but to respond. Shes afraid others would be able to see some clues if Jiang Li stayed a bit longer and something might inevitably happen. Theres no other way but to make Jiang Li leave in advance.
Ji Shuran spoke to the palace maid who had been standing beside her: Help the second miss to a room to properly take a rest first, Ill take over in a while.
Jiang You Yao asked tentatively: Second sister?
Jiang Li frowned slightly and waved her hand. But she wasnt careful and hit a cup full of tea on the side, the content splashed all over Jiang Yues skirt.
Jiang Yue cried out with an ah and got up at once.
Jiang Lis eyes widened slightly, appearing a bit more sober. She quickly said: Im sorry fifth sister, I didnt mean to dirty your clothes. She looked at the stain on Jiang Yues body very apologetically: What to do now? Why dont you go with me to change clothes, just right as I am about to rest for a while.
No need. Ji Shuran was about to stop her.
Mother, this is a feast in the palace. Its not pretty if fifth sisters clothes are dirty. There should be emergency clothes in the palace. If not, there should be some in Ji Li-pins place. Its better if fifth sister could change her clothes.
Jiang Yue was annoyed as this was the first time she wore this attire and because it was the materials that old madam asked someone to cut. Otherwise how would she be able to wear such good clothes normally? This time its destroyed by Jiang Li. Unexpectedly, she heard Jiang Li brought up Li-pin and her heart moved. If Li-pin gave her a change of clothes, wouldnt it be material from the palace? Perhaps it would be better than the one old madam gave. She stood up at once and smiled: Eldest aunt, its okay, Ill go together with second sister. What second sister said is correct, wearing dirty clothes, afraid other people would say that we, the Jiang family, are being disrespectful to His Majesty. I can also take care of second sister along the way.
Ji Shurans palms were slightly sweaty. Jiang Yue didnt know her plan, Ji Shuran truly didnt want Jiang Yue to break up the matter. But after thinking, she felt relieved. After theyve walked halfway, she could ask someone to draw Jiang Yue away while Jiang Li could still go as planned. Moreover, the effect brought out by the medicine acted this fast on Jiang Li, its better to leave the banquet early, there would also be more time to put things in order. Ji Shuran immediately signaled the palace maid next to her with a glance and said: Since thats the case, the two of you go first then.
Yang-shi didnt say anything. Although Jiang Yue was her daughter, Jiang Yue curried favor with the main branch all day long. Shes closer to Ji Shuran, this eldest aunt, compared to her, the biological mother. Yang-shi was already used to it.
Jiang Yue and Jiang Li promptly followed this unfamiliar palace maid and left.
Not far from the pavilion, on the boundary of the promenade, there were a lot of empty tea rooms. They were used for the noble people in the palace temporarily if they had headache or dizziness, prepared for them to rest or change clothes. Normally, there would be no people there, and its very quiet.
Jiang Li walked together with Jiang Yue. Perhaps due to drinking a lot during the palace feast, Jiang Yue also felt dizzy as she walked. While walking, Jiang Li brought up Jiang You Yaos marriage.
. today when I heard mother mention the marriage between third sister and heir Zhou, third sister had such a happy look. I noticed that Ningyuan Marchioness is also very satisfied with third sister.
. Speaking of, third sisters marriage is indeed very good. Heir Zhou could be considered one in a hundred in Yanjing. Its just the I have no fate with heir Zhou, maybe in the future could only look for another family.
. fifth sister will also reach marriageable age soon. I heard the servant boy in fathers courtyard mentioned that third uncle asked father to take a good look if theres any suitable family for fifth sister. I dont know which official family will fifth sister enter in the future.
Jiang Li suddenly bringing these up made Jiang Yue suspected that Jiang Li was taking revenge on her. She told Jiang Li the matter about Jiang You Yao and Zhou Yan Bangs bethrotal before and Jiang Li must have been heartbroken. At this moment, Jiang Li stabbed a knife into her heart, bringing up her own marriage, Jiang Yue couldnt help feeling resentful.
Jiang Yue said: Second sister actually cares about my marriage. But Im still young, compared to second sister, my age is smaller. Second sister also said, my father is not like eldest uncle, searching for someone naturally must not be comparable to second and third sister. When saying this, Jiang Yue carried a bit of anger. If it was normally, of course she would not speak out such words. But she might be a bit intoxicated today and her speech was much bolder.
Jiang Li glanced at her seemingly with a bit of pity in her eyes. Talking about people, why cant they pick their own origin? In my opinion, compared to third sister, fifth sisters appearance is not bad, talent and learning is also not low, just losing in terms of family background. Suppose that you are the main rooms daughter, you will be well-matched with heir Zhou.
Its fine if not spoken, but talking about this, Jiang Yue recalled all kinds of unfairness she suffered between her and Jiang You Yao and in the Jiang residence. She felt injustice at once, her heart turning sour and unexpectedly didnt reply to Jiang Li.
