Chapter 58 Part 1: Accompany


Supposing that Jiang Li didn’t score last in the examination, Meng Hong Jing would have to kneel down and apologize to Jiang Li.


Supposing that Jiang Li scored better than Meng Hong Jin in the examination, Meng Hong Jin would have to kneel down at the Imperial College’s gate and apologize to Jiang Li.


Supposing that Jiang Li not only scored better than Meng Hong Jin but better than the entire female students in Mingyi Hall, Meng Hong Jing had to bring vitex plants and kneel at the Imperial College’s gate and apologize to Jiang Li.


Three conditions, each one more shocking than the next. Three gambles, from one to the next, made the courage of others tremble!


Mingyi Hall fell into a dreadful silence. Not only Meng Hong Jin who was dumbfounded, Jiang You Yao this pa.s.ser-by, even Liu Xu were all dumbfounded. No one spoke, no one could say a word out.


A moment later, Meng Hong Jin came out of her stupor and spoke with agitation: “Jiang Li, you have such big guts!”


“My guts have always been big,” Jiang Li smiled indifferently, “I just don’t know what about your guts? Just now it looked really big, but now…….. This gamble, can you afford the stake?”


Meng Hong Jing gritted her teeth without saying a word. Jiang Li spoke so carefreely. Such a scary stake, but she said it without any fluctuation, as if it was just a piece of silver kind of gambling show. But unknowingly, their stake could be considered as very shocking. Whoever won, the losing party would have no face in the entire Yanjing, so much so that even the family’s face would also be shamed.


Jiang Li even went as far as mentioning the Imperial College…….


The students attending the Imperial College were the handsome and talented youngsters in the whole of Yanjing. There was no shortage of n.o.ble children of the official families among them. Moreover, with n.o.ble ladies such as them, perhaps their future husband was among this group. Losing face in front of the Imperial College was equal to losing face in front of their future husband. In the future, which youngster would marry someone who had been reduced to a laughingstock. Jiang Li’s intention was truly ruthless.


Meng Hong Jin felt a short burst of coldness.


“If want to bet then just bet!” Each and every delicate young lady standing behind Meng Hong Jin spoke disdainfully: “Sister Hong Jin, quickly accept it. Jiang second miss is very confident in herself, but it’s really too overconfident.”


Liu Xu also came out of her daze and looked at Jiang Li with anxiety.


Only then did Meng Hong Jin remember that when she to put this stake forward, naturally it was because from the start, she never thought that she would lose. It should be known that a female that had been staying in a nunnery for eight years, though there were scriptures that could help her practice writing, knowing how to read these scriptures was vastly different from the Confucian Six Arts. Calligraphy, Mathematics, Equestrian, Archery, Music, Rites and Etiquette, each one required long term practice. Without mentioning other things, it was very likely that this was the first time Jiang Li was in contact with these. Within such a short period of time, it was very difficult to comprehend the basics of these subjects. In addition, the other ladies from Mingyi Hall had been studying for several years. If they really lost to Jiang Li, then it would be outrageous.


Jiang Li was bound to come last in the rankings. Those stakes she made were bound to become her own burial pit.


With this thought, Meng Hong Jin raised her head and had a smile on her as she said: “Since Jiang second miss has the spirit and courage, of course I would accompany you till the end. Be as good as your word, today, all the sisters in Mingyi Hall are the witnesses. When the examination results come out, Jiang second miss must not rely on your position as the young lady of the chief a.s.sistant’s house and say that it doesn’t count ah.”


“I won’t,” Jiang Li laughed: “I hope you also won’t.”


She had a calm expression, without any worry or fear. It dazzled Meng Hong Jin who immediately snorted coldly before she walked off.
