Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 146 Part 3: Surprised

Jin Hua moved her lips. Actually, she thought it was only temporary. As long as Jiang Youyao behaved better, the master would still like this daughter. After all, the person had been raised by his side for so many years, it’s impossible for the feelings to disappear just by saying so. Moreover, the master was soft-hearted. As long as this period of time passed, whether Jiang Youyao acted coquettishly or used bitter tricks, she would soon be able to return to the old days.

But she didn’t dare to say this. Jiang Youyao already had her own ideas, and anything she said would be in vain. It might even touch Jiang Youyao’s sore spot, so she just asked, “Where do you want to go, Miss?”

“Of course it’s the Ji family.” Jiang Youyao frowned, “Now my letters have been blocked. Grandpa and the others don’t know that I’m suffering in the Jiang family. As long as I escape from the house and go to the Ji family, I will never come back. After all, the Ji family is no worse than the Jiang family. My aunt is an imperial concubine, with my aunt in charge, no one dares to bully me. Why should I stay and suffer here!”

Jinhua and Yinhua looked at each other. Jiang Youyao was spoiled by Ji Shuran and knew nothing about the outside world. She always thought that people in the world would always revolve around her. Little did she know that after what happened, the Ji family now dared not even enter the Jiang family’s door, so how could they let Jiang Youyao stay in the Ji family.

“Miss, it’s better to wait a few more days. The gatekeeper in the mansion is too strict these days, afraid there won’t be any opportunity.” Jin Hua advised.

“It won’t be long before the year ends. There are always things to purchase at the end of the year, and there are many things to do. It will be my chance then.” She glanced at her two maids coldly: “You two must not have other thoughts. Your selling deeds are still in my hands. If this matter fails and someone leaks the secret…..” The viciousness that flashed in her eyes was exactly the same as Ji Shuran’s.

The two maids’ hearts couldn’t help but shudder, and hurriedly knelt down to show their loyalty, not daring to say anything.

……

After the winter solstice, it would be the end of the new year in less than a month’s time.

Even though many things had happened in the Jiang family in the past six months, even lives were lost, the career of the two brothers did not go very smoothly, and the Jiang familybeing regarded as an after dinner joke, this year still had to be passed.

Everyone in the house started to get busy without realizing it. Wan Feng Hall’s Zhen Zhu and Fei Cui came several times and asked Jiang Li when she would go out to the jewelry store to pick out jewelry. Jiang Li had no special fondness for jewelry, after going there once, she didn’t want to go again. Old madam Jiang asked a tailor to come to Fang Fei Garden to make new clothes for Jiang Li. Jiang Li knew that this was to compensate her.

Speaking of tailoring, there was another time during this period when old madam Jiang took her to a banquet, a family banquet for officials. Jiang Li wore a new wave-patterned dress from the Ye family. At that time, she attracted the attention of many noble ladies, who all pulled her to inquire where they could buy the fabric. Jiang Li took advantage of the situation and said the name of the Ye family in Xiangyang. Not long after, Ye Ming Yu received a letter from Xiangyang, saying that the demand for the Ye family’s wave pattern was currently in short supply, and many garment shops in Yanjing came to order materials. The Ye family’s textile factory was working almost day and night these days.

Jiang Li was relieved when she heard Ye Ming Yu talk about this matter. At any rate, the Ye family’s ancient fragrant satin had declined, and the wave pattern had risen, thus the Ye family’s difficulties could be considered overcome. Old madam Ye’s health had gradually gotten better, and everything was developing for the better. Even Xue Huaiyuan became more spirited day by day under Situ Jiuyue’s diagnosis and treatment, and now he could even recognize people and call them by their names.

This new year did not seem to be difficult. It seemed that many things could be solved easily and there were no difficulties.

On the fifteenth day after the winter solstice, Hai Tang returned.

Zhao Ke stood in front of Jiang Li’s window and said, “The person is in the Duke’s Mansion now, afraid she will attract attention if placed in the Jiang residence. There are also people watching the gate of Ye’s mansion. If the second lady wants to see Hai Tang, Master said you can go to the Duke’s Mansion.”

Jiang Li: “…I’m afraid it will attract people’s attention.”

“It doesn’t matter. Master has spoken, if the second lady wants to go, go late at night, so no one will notice.” Zhao Ke said simply, but Jiang Li felt a headache when she heard it.

“How can I get out late at night?” Jiang Li asked, hoping that the person in front of him could consider some realistic problems. She was a young lady from the Chief Assistant’s family. How to go out in the middle of the night? Moreover, it was to go to the Duke’s Mansion. Unless she had light skills like Ye Ming Yu, wearing a mask, and had no fixed whereabouts, that would be fine.

“Don’t worry, second miss, everything will be arranged by this subordinates.” Zhao Ke said very confidently.

Jiang Li looked at Zhao Ke carefully for a while, and Zhao Ke lowered his head in embarrassment. She confirmed that the guard in front of her was not joking and really proposed such a way. She still could not accept it, so she asked: “Is there no other way? In fact, we can meet at a restaurant.”

“The person second miss was looking for is very distrustful of others. Even now, she continues to be wary of us.” Zhao Ke replied, “If we hadn’t subdued her, she would have run away.”

“You subdued her?” Jiang Li was shocked, “Didn’t you tell her that the person who came to find her will not hurt her, but is here to help her?”

“Told her.” Zhao Ke shrugged, “But she didn’t believe it.”

Jiang Li’s heart gradually sank. Hai Tang was so wary of others and refused to believe anything. It could be seen that something really happened, or at least something happened to her to be like this. At this point, she couldn’t care about anything else. The top priority was to see Hai Tang first, comfort her, and find out clearly what actually happened after she died and Du Juan ran away with her.

Jiang Li said, “Okay, I’ll go to the Duke’s Mansion tonight. I wonder if it’s convenient for the Duke?”

Zhao Ke raised his head in astonishment, agreed so quickly? He thought Miss Jiang second would be conflicted for a while before agreeing. After all, a young lady going to a strange man’s house late at night, no matter who it was, they would be conflicted.
