I am so tired of hearing the mention of harming the stepmother and killing the stepbrother. Author keeps repeating it in every chapter, is it fearing lest well forget? -_-

Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 29 Part 1: Identify

Heaven ah, what is this?

Jiang Youyaos fearful cry broke the happy and harmonious atmosphere in the main hall. The guests who were close by subconsciously looked into the box in her hand.

Jiang Yuan Bai and old madam Jiang were a bit further and couldnt clearly see what was in the small box. Lu shi and Yang shi got up to take a look. Jiang Jing Rui was standing on the side where the male guests were and wanted to step forward to take a look but was pulled back by Jiang Yuan Ping.

Before Jiang Youyao had spoken, the servant girl by her side, Jin Hua, had reached her hand and brought the thing inside the small box out. She glowered towards Jiang Li and shouted: Second miss, what do you mean by this?

Only then was everybody able to see clearly, the servant girl was holding a ruby head ornament. At first glance, this ruby head ornament was of considerable value. But it could be seen that the ruby on the head ornament was entirely mottled with extremely dense knife cuts, making the people who saw it couldnt help sucking a breath.

Second miss, all of us servants know that you are dissatisfied and you dont like third miss. But you sent this kind of thing at the third misss birthday ceremony, its really too much! This servant girls tone when speaking didnt carry any respect towards Jiang Li. If it was at other peoples residence, being charged with being disrespectful and arrogant towards the master was not excessive. But over here, nobody bothered with her action. On the contrary, she was praised by others as a servant who was loyal and devoted to her master.

Jiang Lis gaze fell on the ruby head ornament in Jin Huas hand and surprise flashed through her eyes. Her brows immediately wrinkled, she shook her head and spoke: No, since buying this ruby head ornament, it has been in my hand and never been touched. I dont know how it turned out like this.

Is there any misunderstanding? Ji Shuran also walked over without the slightest doubt towards Jiang Li on her face. Instead, she seemed to showed a lot of concern and asked: Is there a problem with the head ornament? Lier was cheated?

How is it possible? Tonger quipped and immediately said: Young lady specially went to Jixiang Lou to pick a birthday gift for third miss. It was a total of 400 taels of silver. How could Jixiang Lous jewels have any problems?

It was actually bought from Jixiang Lou.

The guests looked at Jiang Li with different expressions. Since she could use 400 silvers to buy Jiang Youyaos head ornament, first, it indicated that Jiang Li was generous. Secondly, it indicated that the chief assistants house did not treat Jiang Li unfairly. Jiang Li still had a very good financial resources. The imperial censor wouldnt impeach for this matter.

The problem doesnt lie with the head ornament. The head ornament was perfectly fine, it also wont scratch by itself. To say again, this was clearly cut by a knife. Jiang Yue suddenly opened her mouth and said: Second sister, its okay if you dont like third sister. Theres no need to waste a head ornament for no reason?

Yang shi didnt anticipate her own daughter to suddenly open her mouth. It was too late for her to cover Jiang Yues mouth. Jiang Yuyan timidly pulled the corner of Jiang Yues clothes back, her head lowered without speaking a word. Jiang Yue was proud of herself. She knew the main branchs mother and daughter didnt like Jiang Li, if able to make Jiang Li feel even more stressed, the main branch would definitely be happy. First, she could win favor from the main branch, second, Jiang Yue also didnt like Jiang Li.

Jiang Youyao had the support of Ji family, what did Jiang Li have? Her biological mother had already passed away so she was trampled by people in her life. How could she still sit perfectly fine in the position of the rightful di daughter? Jiang Yue really wished Jiang Li would be pulled towards the same position as her. Even better if it was worse than her, only then would she be happy.

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Yue, her look however could be regarded as unhurried. She was merely somewhat puzzled and said to Jiang Yue: Fifth sister, where do these words come from? Its untrue that I dont like third sister.

Where do these words come from? Jiang Yue swept a look at Ji Shuran and saw that there was satisfaction in Ji Shurans eyes and her confidence was even more boosted. She continued: If you liked third sister, at that time you wouldnt push eldest aunt and harm eldest aunt to miscarry. Youve stayed in the nunnery for several years, perhaps youve harbored hatred towards eldest aunt. You simply vented your anger onto this head ornament and deliberately sent it as a present to third sister, this is., this is cursing third sister!

And here goes the first sacrificial lamb? Or maybe not i dont know why but I kinda expected a dead kitten to pop up from that box lol, guess I read it in some other novel xD
