Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 107 Part 1: Homecoming
I want to go to Tongxiang.
Ye Ming Yu was stunned.
Jiang Lis eyes were firm. Shes thought it through, no matter what, learning that her father was in prison and suffering hardship, she felt unbearable if she rescued him even a moment later. Moreover, now that shes at the Ye residence, she, as a big living person, could not suddenly disappear without any reason. No matter how, she had to tell the Ye family members. Otherwise, old madam Ye would be worried.
Just, looking for a flawless excuse was too difficult. As Jiang second miss, it should be the first time she came to Xiangyang, much less talking about Tongxiang. For her, Tongxiang should be an unfamiliar place and should not have heard about it. Theres no need to mention whether there were any distant relatives and close friends, however people looked, the lies were full of holes.
Sure enough, after hearing her request, Ye Ming Yu immediately asked in surprise, What are you doing in Tongxiang?
Not hiding from uncle, this is a long story. I was trusted by an old friend to resolve her worries. Her beloved is in Tongxiang, knowing that Im going to Xiangyang, she asked whether I can help her bring a word. These few days, something happened in the Ye family and I forgot about this. Now things are approximately settled and I remember this, therefore Im planning to go to Tongxiang to look for my old friends beloved.
After saying this, Jiang Li also felt awkward. In her lifetime, she had never said such a lame lie. However, she really couldnt think of a better excuse.
Ye Ming Yu stared at Jiang Li for a while. After a long time, he sighed and said, Ah Li, if you have something thats hard and not convenient to mention, theres no need to rack your brain to look for such an excuse. Even I can see through it.
Jiang Lis cheeks were slightly red. Even though Ye Ming Yu was a straightforward person, he wasnt a fool. If he were, how could he still survive fighting in the rivers and lakes until now? He would have been hindered long ago and wouldnt know where he would get up.
Ah Li, I know sometimes there are things that are hard to say to other people, even to close relatives. Its okay, I will not force you to say it. Im different from my eldest and second brothers. We, the people of the rivers and lakes, will not force people to do something. Wait until you are ready to talk about it, naturally you will say it. If you cant talk about it, there must be a reason why you cant. Though I dont know what you are going to do in Tongxiang, since you are a girl with ideas, you will not act arbitrarily.
Ye Ming Yu paused before saying, but your reason just now wont work in front of my eldest brother and second brother. Especially my second brother, his cleverness is no less than yours. Even I dont buy your excuse, how is it going to deceive him?
What Ye Ming Yu said was right, the Ye familys Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan, perhaps because they did business, they were not easy to deceive.
Jiang Li sighed slightly in her heart.
She really did not wish to deceive others, but some things really could not be said.
Looking at Jiang Lis embarrassed appearance, Ye Ming Yu suddenly patted his chest and said, Dont worry, Im your uncle, I naturally will care about your matters. Leave this matter about your going to Tongxiang to me. Ive thought of a way to convince mother and older brothers, that is, you are going together with me!
Going with you? Jiang Li was surprised.
Of course! Is it possible for a little girl to go to an unfamiliar place by yourself? Even if you have huge courage, our family members will not feel assured! Or else, you choose between eldest brother, second brother and me, who do you want to accompany you!
Jiang Li: .. If she truly had to choose, she would really rather go with Ye Ming Yu. Ye Ming Xuan and Ye Ming Hui were too shrewd, it would be hard to avoid getting suspicious of the truth. Ye Ming Yus temperament was forthright and he didnt like to snoop into other peoples minds. Besides.. She really didnt know what kind of trouble shed meet in this trip. Compared to her alone, it would be much better with Ye Ming Yu around.
She said: Then many thanks, Uncle Ming Yu.
Ye Ming Yus brows rose in delight. He said: Hey, dont worry! Ah Li, when you came to Xiangyang, you came across our Ye familys mishap and always helped our family. I, an old man, still needed a young girls help, when it got out, the brothers would laugh at me. If you can use my help, naturally your Uncle Ming Yu will assist.
Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before saying, I know this is taking it too far, but Uncle Ming Yu, if I may speak, its better to go quickly. Leaving for Tongxiang right now is good,
She could no longer wait.
A trace of doubt flashed across Ye Ming Yus face. However, he very quickly scratched his head and said, Ok. Youve never asked for anything before, this little request.. Uncle will immediately help you to fulfill! He got up at once and threw a sentence, Pack your things first, wait a while for me. Then he went out the door.
Jiang Li didnt expect Ye Ming Yu to be so swift, but for her, this was a good thing. As such, she immediately got up to instruct Tonger and Bai Xue who were standing outside. Lets pack.
When Jiang Li came to the Ye residence at the beginning, she did not bring too much luggage. The reason was because the Ye family did not lack things. Therefore, packing was also done quickly.
After Tonger and Bai Xue finished packing, the two people were at a loss. Tonger asked, Miss, are we really going to Tongxiang? Is Tongxiang a fun place?
Tonger and Jiang Li had been together for so many years, but this was the first time she heard of a place called Tongxiang. She didnt know what Jiang Li was going to do there and thought that Tongxiang was a fun place to play. And that Jiang Li and Ye Ming Yu were going to play.
Jiang Li smiled: How to say, it can be described as fun. But we are not going there to play.
Not going there to play? Bai Xue was surprised. As she was about to ask, she saw Ah Fu whos usually by Ye Ming Xuan at the door. Ah Fu said, Miss cousin, old madam and the masters invite you to the hall.
Jiang Li smiled, Ye Ming Yu acted faster than what she thought. At once she said to Tonger and Bai Xue, bring the bundles, lets go.
Tonger and Bai Xue caught up without delay. When the few people reached outside the Ye familys hall, from afar, they saw Ye Ming Yu was in the middle of arguing with Ye Ming Xuan and Ye Ming Hui. Occasionally, old madam Ye who was sitting on the couch inserted a few words. Seeing Jiang Lis arrival, Ye Ming Yus eyes brightened and he promptly spoke, Ah Li? You are here! Good that you are here, quick, come and tell mother, are you willing to go to Tongxiang with me?
Jiang Li noticed Ye Ming Yu hinted to her from his face and understood tacitly. She immediately smiled and said, yes, I am very willing to go to Tongxiang with Uncle Ming Yu.
