Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 47 Part 2: Liu Xu

When these words came out, the entire study hall became quiet. Following immediately, some students almost exposed their smiles. Meng Hong Jing blushed deeply, she was unable to say a word out.

On one side, Jiang Li said that they were deliberately provocative while on the other side, she humiliated Meng Hong Jins family background. Everyone knew Jiang Lis father was the chief assistant and Meng Hong Jins father was the Cheng Xuan Envoy. No matter how, a Cheng Xuan Envoy couldnt be higher than a chief assistant. Contrary to expectation, Jiang Li still asked this question seriously, making Meng Hong Jin be reduced to a laughingstock.

The atmosphere was awkward, Jiang You Yao also had no idea what to say. If she helped Meng Hong Jin to speak, it was equal to stepping on his own father. If she agreed with Jiang Lis words, its be weird if Meng Hong Jin didnt hold grudges towards her. Secretly hating that Jiang Li was so cunning, Jiang You Yao had no alternative but to glance meaningfully at Jiang Yue.

Without any choice, Jiang Yue softly coughed a couple of times, breaking the silence and stiffly pulled the topic away to another direction. She said: Second sister, dont talk about those things first. You just entered school, you need to pick a seat. Fourth sister and I are seated together, third sister and Miss Meng are seated together. Because you came too late, you have to ask if theres anyone whos willing to be together with you.

Whos willing to be together with her? Jiang Li did not need to think she was also aware. Of course there wouldnt be anybody.

As expected, Jiang Li stood in the middle of the hall yet nobody called out to Jiang Li to sit beside them.

Bai Xue couldnt enter the study hall and stayed outside with the carriage along with the other misses servant girls. Those servant girls probably also disdained Bai Xues solid built and isolated Bai Xue. Bai Xue didnt mind and squatted by the side of a rockery, basking in the sun with a stray cat.

In the silence, someone abruptly yelled: Theres nobody by my side, why dont you come and sit here.

Jiang Li felt unexpected and saw a girl dressed in a cyan dress standing up at the front, looking at Jiang Li.

This girl could be regarded as beautiful, however, her lower jaw was rather square which came across as somewhat firm and persistent. There was a faint shadow of Madam Liu in her features and Jiang Li suddenly realized that this was the young miss from Chengde Officials residence, Liu Xu.

Jiang Li didnt hesitate and walked over to the desk beside Liu Xu. A jee came from behind her: Liu Xu, you really dare to sit together with her and not afraid one day shell push you down the stairs? When theres life threatening worries later, dont say we didnt warn you.

Liu Xu silently tossed those words to the back of her head, seemingly didnt hear anything at all and Jiang Li sat beside Liu Xu, all smiles. Liu Xu knitted her brows, a faint unwillingness could be faintly seen. However, she didnt say anything.

Jiang Li understood, most probably, Madam Liu also received the news of her attending Mingyi Hall and talked to Liu Xu, asking Liu Xu to look after her. In reality, a girl must be feeling afraid when facing someone with a reputation of attacking the mother and murdering the younger brother. Its a very normal thing. Liu Xu being able to restrain her fear and complete the task entrusted to her by Madam Liu was already very amazing.

Seeing that Jiang Li was assessing hers, the corner of Liu Xus mouth was stretched taut and she flung her head sideways. Jiang Li laughed when she saw her, thinking, this is an adorable girl.

The voices of discussion came to a halt one by one. Still the voice of someone asking Jiang You Yao could be heard. Jiang Li knew Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yuyan were very likely to go all-out to discredit her.

But not long after, a person came in. It was a female teacher dressed from head to toe in a pine colored long gown. Her hair was coiled tall above her head into a bun, her eyes and lips were thin, and her figure looked thin and weak. When she entered, the noise in Ming Yi Hall immediately faded.

She was a strict teacher.

Jiang Li looked at the female teacher in front of her and felt somewhat absent-minded.

This female teachers surname was Ji, with one word Luo as her name. In Ming Yi Hall, what she taught from the Confucian Six Arts was etiquette.

Ji Luo was also a person who strictly abided by etiquette. In Jiang Lis view, she was even somewhat old-fashioned and inflexible. Ji Luo was lofty and admired Shen Yurong greatly in the past. In public, she praised Shen Yurong as brilliant, brimming with literary talent. But towards Xue Fang Fei, she was pitifully harsh.

As a female, naturally she could see that Ji Luo admired Shen Yurong.

Afterwards, the matter of Xue Fang Fei having an illicit affair spread widely in Yanjing. Once Ji Luo visited and cursed and berated in her face that she didnt observe womens virtue and sympathized deeply with Shen Yurongs bitter experience.

But, Jiang Li lowered her pupils, what if Ji Luo learnt of Shen Yurongs true appearance, would she still have those deep feelings?
