Chapter 43 Part 2: Decision
In Fang Fei Garden, seeing the returning Jiang Li and Bai Xue, Tong’er was flabbergasted: “Why so quick? Young lady, did Master not agree?”
“Master already agreed.” Baixue said and smiled: “I’ve said earlier, to one’s own father, speak properly, eldest master will definitely listen.”
Tong’er rolled her eyes, it’d be good if there was such a simple matter on earth. She unconvincingly looked at Jiang Li; seeing that Jiang Li also had a smile on her face and nodded, only then was she convinced and said: “Really? That’s great! I know our young lady’s apt.i.tude since earlier, it’s enough to enter Ming Yi Hall with plenty to spare.” Following which her sight turned to worry: “But miss, Master agreed now, in the coming days he wouldn’t back out, right?”
Perhaps Jiang Li spoke a few soft words at that time and Jiang Yuan Bai became softhearted and temporarily and agreed. But after Ji Shuran found out, how was it possible to leave the matter just like that? Blowing the pillow wind, if Jiang Yuan Bai’s decision wasn’t resolute and changed his decision, then what’s to be done?
“I guess right at this time, Ji shi should be on the way to father’s study. Perhaps she has already arrived and is now in the middle of persuading father to cancel the decision to send me to Ming Yi Hall.”
Tong-er’s and Baixue’s smiles froze at once. Tong-er asked: “Then what should be done? Master wouldn’t agree, right? Miss, or why don’t we go there now so as not to let Ji shi make use of the gap?”
“No need,” Jiang Li smiled and shook her head: “She won’t succeed.”

“Master, isn’t it a bit unsuitable for Li’er to go to Ming Yi Hall at this time…..”
In the study, Ji Shuran said to Jiang Yuan Bai with deep worries.
“That’s it, don’t mention it again. I’ve already decided to send Li’er to Ming Yi Hall.” Not waiting for Ji Shuran to finish talking, Jiang Yuan Bai had already interrupted her sentence.
Ji Shuran had never been told off like this by Jiang Yuan Bai. For a moment, she felt somewhat wronged and said: “I, this servant is also wholeheartedly considering for Li’er …”
Normally, seeing Ji Shuran’s grieving, Jiang Yuan Bai always had a heartache. However, today looking at her, he thought of Jiang Li being subjected to grievances but she simply stood in front of him and stated things calmly and pragmatically. Jiang Yuan Bai only felt Ji Shuran’s conduct was somewhat artificial, appearing extremely unsightly.
He said: “You Yao is my daughter, Li’er is also my daughter. Both are the Jiang family’s young misses. How can I favor one and discriminate against the other? If word was pa.s.sed outside, where should I put my, Jiang Yuan Bai’s face? And you,” he looked at Ji Shuran, “Li’er wasn’t home in the last eight years. Just returning home, as a mother you should take care of her a bit more. I will be relieved if you could put half of the mind you place on You Yao towards Li’er.”
Ji Shuran looked at him in amazement. Jiang Yuan Bai saying this was the same as criticizing her for being biased. Not waiting for Ji Shuran to say anything else, Jiang Yuan Bai picked up his robe and immediately went out from the study, leaving by himself.
In the study, Ji Shuran was left alone by herself. Xiao Si at the doorway trembled in fear, she looked inside and happened to see the always dignified and gentle eldest madam’s face twisted like a devil. Her expression was terrifying as if she had turned into another person.
At this moment, Ji Shuran was completely filled with anger and resentment. She wasn’t clear on how Jiang Li managed to sow dissension in front of Jiang Yuan Bai, the gentleness Jiang Yuan Bai showed her in recent days could not be seen at this time. It was as if within a split second, it returned to how it was before.
“Jiang Li…….” She spoke while gnashing her teeth in anger.
She must definitely make Jiang Li pay for everything that happened today!
