Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 31: Fake

Suddenly a crisp voice sounded, extremely loud and clear in the silence. It was coming precisely from the small servant girl standing in front of Jiang Li, Tonger.

With a loud voice, Tonger said, This servant believes young lady!

Jiang Li was startled. Before she managed to speak, another female voice was heard. Someone said, I also believe second miss Jiang did not do this thing.

Jiang Li turned her head to see that it was actually Madam Liu who had a predestined affinity with her on Mount Qingcheng. Madam Liu saw Jiang Li looking at herself and right away exposed a placating smile to her. Madam Liu said: In the final analysis, the so-called witness testimony at the moment is just this servant girls side of the story. She glanced at Xiang Qiao cowering on the ground and continued, this servant girl can say that Jiang second miss did this thing. Jiang second miss can also say that she didnt do this thing. Its nothing but each person sticking to their own story. Lord Jiang, as the cabinet chief assistant, not believing his own daughter, instead believed a servant girl whos neither a relative nor a friend. With this kind of behavior, Im afraid the people in the middle of the court would refuse to accept this.

This act was obviously to get Jiang Li out of the predicament.

Jiang Yuan Bai was stunned for a moment. Chengde Official, Liu Yuan Feng and Ji family had disagreement, yet they were harmonious with the Jiang family. Just now Madam Liu didnt hesitate to offend the Jiang family to speak up for Jiang Li.

A warm feeling rushed forth in Jiang Lis heart.

From a small age, Xue Huaiyuan and her lived in Tongxiang. Xue Huaiyuan was a county deputy handling many cases. He didnt usually hide these cases from her. She was aware of the sinister world, yet also constantly moved by peoples kindness. In the cold as ice Jiang family, at this time, she wasnt alone. There was a loyal Tonger, and in addition, Madam Liu who was ready to pull out a knife. At once, they dispelled the gloomy feeling there.

Jiang Yue saw that it wasnt good for Ji Shuran and Jiang You Yao to open their mouths. This matter naturally once again fell on her head. Using a voice that wasnt light nor heavy, she said: Each sticking to their own version, but its not as if Jiang Li hadnt done such things before. She could really do this!

Thats right, Jiang Li had previously harmed her stepmother until she miscarried. Now it was merely cursing the sister, what was impossible?

What people are willing to believe depends on what they see.

Jiang Li had a vicious character, ruthless nature, harsh and merciless. She was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. Everyone knew that.

This kind of person, doing this kind of thing was common, was natural.

In the instance there wasnt any other evidence, even if it couldnt be confirmed that this matter wasnt her doing, this accusation would still fall on her head.

Madam Liu frowned, she had already realized this point. But this matter came so abruptly, to look for the evidence from scratch that Jiang Li didnt do it was too difficult at this time.

Seeing how this matter seemed to have no room to save, Jiang Li slowly opened her mouth to ask: Xiang Qiao, Ill ask you again. You saw with your own eyes that I carved this head ornament with a knife?

Xiang Qiao lifted her head up and touched Jiang Lis gaze, she didnt know why her heart trembled. She composed herself and summoned her courage to speak: This servant saw with her own eyes, second miss said she hates madam and third miss because third miss grabbed masters affection and wanted to curse third miss.

Everyone was in a commotion. Someone said: So it was this way, really malicious ah.

Jiang Yuan Bais complexion turned uglier. Jiang You Yao and Ji Shurans weeping grew even louder. Ji Chen shi cleared her throat then, she said: Lord Jiang, you must give a statement in this matter. In half of You Yaos body flows the blood of the Ji family. If this matter isnt made clear, we will enter the palace and let Li pin concubine decide!

It was clearly putting pressure on Jiang Yuan Bai.

Ji Chen shis threat didnt scare Jiang Li. She just said softly: Xiang Qiao is the servant girl given to me by mother. If Xiang Qiao was lying.

Impossible. Ji Shuran shook her head, Xiang Qiao is a child born in the family. I saw her growing up, her moral character and temperament are reliable and shes hardworking. If it wasnt because Lier just returned to the residence and lacked servants, originally I planned to keep Xiang Qiao.

Tonger couldnt help sneering. Good moral character and nature, hardworking? Go and deceive ghosts, right!

Jiang Li bowed her head to look at Xiang Qiao who was still prostrating on the ground. She lowered her head and felt Jiang Li observing her closely and a layer of chill climbed up her back.

It was supposed to be a foolproof matter but when reaching this moment, a trace of unease suddenly flitted across Xiang Qiaos heart. In a flash, this unease became bigger and bigger, unexpectedly causing her to have the idea of retreating. This was naturally impossible, she could only continue to sing this play until the end.

I also think Xiang Qiao is really good. These days shes been by my side, always accompanying me to chat and relieve boredom. Thanks to her good fortune, after I returned to the residence, the days have gone well. Therefore, when she betrayed me, I felt deeply hurt. Jiang Li spoke.

Xiang Qiao promptly said: Second miss, it is not this servant betraying you, its just this servant. this servant really cannot see you continue step by step making mistakes. This servant really cannot go against my own conscience ah!

Conscience? Jiang Li replied quietly and suddenly laughed. She said: Do you have it?

Xiang Qiao became more and more uneasy, she merely said: this servant doesnt know what this servant has done.

I also dont know what I did wrong for you to betray me.

Enough, second girl, finally, Old Madam Jiang opened her mouth, in the end, what do you actually want to say?

Jiang Li withdrew her gaze from Xiang Qiaos body, looked at her surroundings and slowly said: Since no one believes me, I must insist on finding out the evidence that I didnt do it. Otherwise, if these fingers pointed back at me, the spirit of my departed mother would also be distressed.

Jiang Yuan Bai heard what was said and his complexion turned even uglier.

Jiang Li reached out her hand, walking towards Jin Xiang, the servant girl beside Jiang You Yao.

It was originally this servant girl who took out the ruby head ornament from the small box.

Jiang Li reached her side and once again picked up the head ornament placed inside the box. The gem glistened under the sunlight, the color moving. It should have been pure, yet due to the mottled knife scratches on the surface, it had become dull and ugly

As Jiang Li held the head ornament in her hand, suddenly, Ji Shuran felt somewhat wrong. But before she opened her mouth, Jiang Li had spoken first.

She spoke: This head ornament is the evidence.

Her hand brushed past, gently and firmly, the smile at the corner of her mouth shone brightly just like before, yet it appeared ridiculing.

This head ornament is fake. She lowered her gaze, this is not my head ornament.

hohoho there was a reader who actually got it right! Looks like next chappy will be punishment time =)

God bless the darkness of my room, why didnt the rest of Europe learn to make shutters that completely block the sunlight? And didnt know how much I missed a good pillow till I slept on my own bed but tragedy oh tragedy, how could this be? Why does my cat look uglier than when I left? T^T my mom says its bc of summer fur, but she used to be ultra cute, and now QAQ
