Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 91 Part 3: Returning

Towards the Ye family, old madam Jiang actually had a bit of true affection inside. After all, Ye Zhen Zhen was the daughter-in-law that old madam Jiang had personally selected. Ye Zhen Zhen was simple and lovely, though not shrewd enough, but she won with her kind heart. Towards Ji Shuran, the wife that Jiang Yuan Bai chose himself, old madam Jiang could not be said as disliking, but also couldnt be counted as fond of. But the Ji family was nowadays becoming more prosperous with each passing day, to spare her feelings, old madam Jiang was also amiable towards Ji Shuran. In addition, Ji Shuran lost a child due to Jiang Li; afterwards, old madam Jiang started to treat Ji Shuran sincerely.

But the recent events made old madam Jiang couldnt help doubting whether Jiang Yuan Bais sight was wrong.

Jiang Li was becoming more and more outstanding. After returning from Mount Qingcheng, she had repeatedly become the subject of discussion among the people in Yanjing. Theres no helping it to say that among the several daughters of the Jiang family, Jiang Li was the smartest one.

Old madam Jiang had a discerning vision, having such a bright di daughter without a bad mind naturally was not bad. Moreover, the Ye family had produced a Ye Shijie. Old madam Jiang felt that Ye Shijies future career should be pretty good.

Its time to repair the old friendship with the Ye family, old madam Jiang thought in her heart. At least must not let Ji Shuran, because of the presence of the Ji family, be forever secure in the knowledge that she has a backing. The Ji family had admittedly relied on Li-pin to climb up, but they, the Jiang family, did not need to curry favor with the Ji family. Ji Shuran forgot her own identity and needed a reminder that this was the Jiang family and not the Ji family.

Mother Ji Shuran was a little anxious. Old madam Jiang saying so was no different from hitting her face. Also at this time she discovered that unconsciously, Jiang Yuan Bai and old madam Jiang had both sided with Jiang Li.

She was not convinced.

What had Jiang Li done? Jiang Li didnt seem to have done anything. She didnt act spoiled and showed off her cleverness all day long in front of old madam Jiang like Jiang Bingji, or fawning to make Jiang Yuan Bai happy like Jiang You Yao. How did she achieve all these?

Ji Shuran suddenly looked towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li smiled slightly.

Theres no need to do anything, such an official who valued benefits above all else, perhaps not really totally had no familial love. But wanting them to rely on a meager and insecure family relationship to survive was really unstable. One day in the future, this familial love perhaps wouldnt be present anymore, or perhaps the other part listened to other peoples slander and everything that was originally possessed might possibly be destroyed with a bang.

A person still needs to rely on themself. This was the principle Jiang Li became aware of with her blood and tears. She didnt behave like a dog wagging its tail to seek its masters affection in front of the Jiang family, winning favor by showing off ones cleverness. She only quietly did her own things and proved her own value.

A daughter without any value could be trampled as one wished. Pearls could not be sold as fish eyes. As long as the Jiang family felt that she could be utilized, they would not easily abandon her.

Just settle it like this. Old madam Jiang said decisively. She looked at Ye Ming Xuan and said: The majority of whatever is needed on the road can be asked from us. The second girl is also our Jiang familys young miss. Please take care of her during this time.

The words were spoken very modestly.

Ye Ming Xuan promptly cupped his hands in obeisance. He was feeling somewhat bizarre in his heart. He came today to merely take a look at the changed Jiang Li in Ye Shijies mouth. He didnt foresee such a result in the end, to go as far as to bring Jiang Li back to Xiangyang.

But is Jiang Li truly not afraid? Ye Ming Xuan couldnt help glancing at Jiang Li. Its not that the Ye family had no complaint towards Jiang Li, some misunderstandings were not that easily solved. When Jiang Li arrived at the Ye family, she would undoubtedly be snubbed at first. Towards other peoples indifference, Jiang Li as a noble daughter, a warm face meeting cold butts, how long could she persist? Why need to be noble and far-reaching and seek her own suffering?

These arguments, Ye Ming Xuan didnt believe that Jiang Li had not thought of before. This young girl looked so clever, she must have considered all these long ago.

But.

Ye Ming Xuan caught Jiang Li in the middle of looking at him too. Her eyes were crystal clear, but without a doubt, anyone who saw her wouldnt suspect her staunchness.

She was firm and persistent as she smiled while looking at him. As if going to Xiangyang was something she must accomplish in her life.

Jiang Li was indeed resolute.

She must return to Xiangyang. No matter how much she had to pay or whatever the cost, she had to go back and see her father.

This was her wish.

On the way back, Ye Shijie and Ye Ming Xuan were silent.

Everything that happened in the Jiang family was truly beyond both of their expectations. Before coming ,they had considered all kinds of possible situations that might occur; however, they were still surprised.

When they almost reached the door of the inn, Ye Ming Xuan asked his nephew: Shijie, do you think Ah Li really wanted to return to Xiangyang to look at your grandmother?

I dont know. Ye Shijie was somewhat jittery, shes so full of thoughts up and down, who could see through her?
