Chapter 56 Part 1:
When she came out of the teahouse, Jiang Li brought a banknote of 100 silver taels with her.
Tong’er followed closely by Jiang Li’s side, wanting to say something but hesitated. Jiang Li saw her this way and said: “Just say what you want to say.”
“Miss, even if you lack silver, you can look for old madam, there’s also master……. Why ask Young Master Ye? Although Young Master Ye is related to you, he’s after all still an outsider. If it’s pa.s.sed on outside…….”
“He’s not a person who speaks casually,” Jiang Li said: “besides, taking his 100 taels can be considered as buying his peace of mind.”
“This servant doesn’t understand.”
“Elder cousin Ye believed that my helping him yesterday was a conspiracy. Although we discussed it just now and the suspicion in his mind was somewhat dissolved, the previous misunderstanding is not that easy to disappear. As far as in regards to me, he wouldn’t completely be willing to accept, which is reasonable. Rather than causing his imagination to run wild, it’s better to just take his silver and treat this thing as business. He would also feel much more relieved. At least he wouldn’t carry a feeling of debt when interacting with me.”
Tong’er nodded thoughtfully. All of a sudden, she seemed to think of something and looked at Jiang Li: “In the future, miss still wants to have further contact with the Ye family’s young master?”
“Of course.” Jiang Li said: “the difference of having a maternal family or not having a maternal family to rely on, you’ve also seen how it was these days. Jiang You Yao is secure in the knowledge that she has a backing, but my power is very weak in the Jiang residence. Even though the Ye family is not an official family, it is not inferior compared to the Ji family. On earth, silver is needed to come and go. The Ye family doesn’t lack these silver. Even if their position is somewhat weaker, Ye Shijie is currently preparing to enter officialdom. Just now, when I observed his speech and ability, he is not an ordinary person. When he comes out, he would certainly lead the Ye family to prosperity.”
“So miss is thinking of renewing the relationship with the Ye family,” Tong’er understood after listening to Jiang Li. She then asked: “Then why didn’t miss mention this matter to Young Master Ye just now? Yesterday miss helped young master Ye, if today miss proposed for Young Master Ye to write a letter to Xiangyang and help to speak a few words for miss, Young Master Ye ought not refuse.”
Jiang Li smiled: “There’s no need for me to mention, he would still talk about it.”
Ye Shijie was still doubting her, so he would certainly write a letter to the Ye family in Xiangyang telling them the matter of running into her in Yanjing. Jiang Li wasn’t worried that Ye Shijie would conceal this matter from the people in the Ye family. The tricky thing was, at that time the words the young Jiang second miss said towards the people of the Ye family was truly too hurtful. As long as they were still somewhat blood-related, they wouldn’t easily forget this matter. Wanting to rebuild their relationship was actually really difficult.
Jiang Li secretly sighed. The thing was already up to here, she could only walk step by step. If the relationship with the Ye family could be reinstated like before, she could use the reason of visiting her relatives to return to Xiangyang.
What happened to her father in the end, Xue Zhao’s ashes still hadn’t been taken back to their hometown, it wasn’t just this matter. Who arranged things for her father afterwards?
The distant water cannot quench the present thirst, she must return to Xiangyang as soon as possible.
While thinking of these matters in her heart, Jiang Li arrived at Mingyi Hall.
