Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 52 Part 2: Empathy

Jiang Li smiled and looked at Ji Shuran. Ji Shuran seemed to be totally unaware that her words would push Jiang Li towards an irretrievable situation. Moreover, it was like a joke.

Jiang Li said: I dont know him, I also was not aware that he is my eldest cousin. If Old Madam didnt tell me, I wouldnt know the relation between me and him. If it wasnt him today but any other person and I encountered this kind of scene, I would still step forward. Jiang Li smiled and stated her mind: On this earth, although its only right to put ones own safety before matters of principle, sometimes one also needs to stand up bravely for the truth. Especially since we are a clear and peaceful family, its even more important to preserve the scholars vigorous style.

Old Madam Jiang was stumped.

Old Madam Jiangs husband, that is, Jiang Yuan Bais father, Old Master Jiang, was a third-ranked literary advisor throughout his life; for 30 years until his passing. Although being a third rank-literary advisor was pretty good, to work for several decades without any promotion, there was certainly a reason behind it.

The reason was precisely because Old Master Jiang was too straight and had done quite a bit of frank criticism. Even though the former emperor knew that Old Master Jiang was a good official, he was really hard to like. Due to his own temper, Old Master Jiang also let his official career be stuck here.

With regards to her husbands temper, Old Madam Jiang seemed reproachful on the surface, yet her heart was proud. From all of the Jiang familys three sons, the eldest, Jiang Yuan Bai, was conservative and did things moderately. The second son, Jiang Yuan Ping was a man with a big smile and evil intentions. The third son, Jiang Yuan Xing, as the concubine-born son, was even more cowardly and didnt have his own opinion. Not one inherited Old Master Jiangs strength of character. Old Madam Jiang could be said to feel a sense of disappointment.

So, even though Jiang Yuan Bai achieved being the first assistant by relying on mediocrity, Old Madam Jiang wasnt completely satisfied with him. Matters on earth, there are gains, there also must be losses. Having obtained a high post and generous salary, some things must be lost. For example, integrity and haughtiness.

Jiang Li had discovered from an earlier time that Old Madam Jiang was a person with an air of arrogance. Beneath the surface, she was also somewhat noble and virtuous. This could be seen from Wan Feng Halls decorations. Therefore, she deliberately said these high-sounding righteous words in order to evoke Old Madam Jiangs empathy.

Letting Old Madam Jiang recall the late Old Master Jiang and see a shadow of him in Jiang Lis body.

As expected, Old Madam Jiangs gaze when she looked at Jiang Li gradually turned gentle.

Ji Shuran was startled, she didnt know how Jiang Lis few sentences could have eased Old Madam Jiangs tension. Although her ability was good, her consideration towards Jiang Yuan Bai was methodical, purely for her personal benefit. She was incapable of comprehending Old Madam Jiangs strength of character. However, Jiang Li understood.

Jiang Li added: At that time, I helped people on a whim without thinking of the consequences. But indeed as third sister said, Ye Shijie is eldest cousin, a person from Xiangyangs Ye family. Then my action this time is even more correct. Although my birth mother has passed away, the Ye family and our residence were in-laws once. Our own relative was in deep trouble, supposing that I walked away from trouble at that time, when other people saw it, in the future there would be the possibility of people saying that the people from our Jiang family are cold and feeling with iron hearts. Father is currently serving as an official, every word and action are observed by others. If someone used this to impeach father, then what to do?

Its necessary to do our own things properly, dont let other people pick our mistakes. Naturally then it will be possible to live together in harmony. Besides, this was originally not a big matter, young master Liu himself said that it was just a misunderstanding. Just talking a bit and was able to resolve a misunderstanding, isnt it a wonderful thing? Theres not a need for gold or silver, merely a few words can help others and make one happy. If Im still being stingy with the effort of these few words, then Im certainly not deserving to be human.

The last sentence was mocking Jiang You Yao and Jiang Yue together.

I forgot to edit last weeks chapter hehe I went back to my parents home (Im not living there anymore bc of my studies, so, is it not considered my home anymore?) for a quick weekend tho Ive ended up staying a bit more bc I couldnt get a PCR to go back on time lol. Not that I mind staying a bit more haha so nice being here ^^

So, today Ill finally give you the answer to the riddles hehehe those of you who read RP must already know that Im rather crazy so dont judge me haha

youll find the answer in the lyrics of this song hohohoho theres Eng sub bc apart from the first 2 sentences its a bit more difficult to understand what theyre saying xD but honestly this song is so great it makes me smile/laugh no matter how shitty my day has been, watching the videoclip also highly recommended to cheer you up, tho if youre in a public space I recommend you listen to it with earphones hehe enjoy :p

hehehe pretty sure u werent expecting this right? the original song was by the master yodelist Franzl Lang, with the tittle Mein Vater ist ein Appenzeller. The German-speaking readers will know that means My father is from Appenzel (a region in Switzerland), but alas, these guys dont know German, and Appenzeller is also a kind of cheese made in Appenzel (very tasty gotta say) so well, everyone makes mistakes, but not many result in such a beatifful and cheerful song xD

so, what where your favorite moments of the song? I personally love the skipping goat? in pink/purple water reflection, the little girl with the violin and the flamingos hahaha have a nice day^^
