Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 103 Part 4: Grandchild

“If I didn’t pretend to be deaf and mute, how could I catch you being useless.” Old madam Ye sighed, “I’ve told you earlier, ‘a tall tree attracts the wind’. The Ye family being this thriving would attract trouble sooner or later. You have to be vigilant, who could foresee that we are still being exploited by others.”

Jiang Li comforted: “Grandmother, this time, really cannot blame uncle Ming Yu and uncle Ming Xuan, they have done very well. Open spears are easy to dodge, but it’s hard to guard against a stab in the back. This matter is not that simple. The matter this time can be considered as giving us a wake up call and can be a guide in the future, letting us know what to do.”

Old madam Ye looked at Jiang Li, feeling both gratified and distressed. She said: “Little one, you could think like this at such a young age, it reflected how difficult it must have been staying in the Jiang residence. It’s our Ye family that lets you down. If I were a bit unyielding then and brought you back to Xiangyang, how would we let you suffer so many grievances?”

Jiang Li’s intelligence was obvious to all, but Jiang Li’s arrogance and willfulness in that year was also well known. Life must have forced her to turn from an arrogant and headstrong young miss to become someone with skills and strategy. Jiang Li still had a stepmother and a stepsister; in addition, there’s Jiang Bing Ji, her days must have not been easy. Intelligence also came at a price.

Jiang Li smiled and helf old madam Ye’s arm. She said: “I did not feel wronged, the days in the Jiang residence are okay.”

Old madam Ye pulled her hand, wanting to say something, hesitated and in the end simply said: “No matter what, it’s good that you’ve come back.”

Truth was, she was wholeheartedly happy that Jiang Li returned. Perhaps in old madam Ye’s eyes, Jiang Li was a child with a noisy temper and she was never truly angry at Jiang Li. No matter when Jiang Li would return would be the same in her eyes, she would still welcome her with a smile on her face.

This was family.

The rims of Jiang Li’s eyes couldn’t help moistening. She didn’t know whether it was due to old madam Ye’s moving tolerance or because she thought of herself.

If Xue Huai Yuan was here, Xue Fang Fei who’d made the mistake of not knowing people, should also be forgiven, right?!

Pity, Xue Fang Fei’s family members, the people who could forgive Xue Fang Fei on earth, were gone already. She also couldn’t find any reason to forgive herself. She could only go on alone to punish her enemies and punish herself.

“Mmm, :”Jiang Li hid the tears in her eyes. In an instant, she changed her expression to a light smile and said: “I’m back.”

……

After dispelling the many years of separation and former hatred, the whole family was happy and in harmony, and it couldn’t be concealed from the neighbors.

In the black and white mansion adjacent to the Ye family, the bodyguards were squatting on the eaves, looking straight at the young servants working hard to dig the soil in the flower beds and planting flower seeds one by one.

Duke Su, Ji Heng, loved strange flowers the most. Right after he arrived in Xiangyang, even if the courtyard was just a stop, the people below did not dare to neglect in the slightest. Xiangyang city was not as rich as Yanjing, the youngster responsible for purchasing left early and returned late to search everywhere for a few good looking and peculiar flowers to plant in the courtyard.

Not to mention, the duke residence was full of flowers. Arriving in this desolate mansion, even the bodyguards felt that something was amiss. Now with the flowers being planted, they suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eyes. As if the stuffiness in the pit of their stomachs in this time period had been released.

“Old madam Ye and Jiang second miss have met.” Wen Ji said, “nothing unusual occurred.”

Nothing unusual occurred, that’s to say that everything went smoothly without a hitch.

Next to Ji Heng, Lu Ji inquired: “Can their interactions be considered as harmonious?”

“Very much,” Wen Ji said, “just like one family.”

Lu Ji sighed and said: “Miss Jiang second is truly not simple. In such a brief period of time, she could make the Ye family treat her with no estrangements.”

The little disagreement between Jiang Li and the Ye family in that year looked simple, but in fact it was not easy to step across, absolutely not easy. Especially since they had been separated for ten years, this misunderstanding would not just disappear over time. In particular, there was no conclusion at that time, on the contrary, it was like a s...o...b..ll, getting bigger as it rolled. Until finally, it’s like an indestructible boulder. Let alone smashed to pieces, even moving was very difficult.

But that’s precisely what Jiang Li accomplished.

“People who can share difficulties in desperate times would naturally cause people to be moved.” In front of the window, Ji Heng smiled. Though his words were of praise, coming out from his mouth, they were more like ridicule.

“Yes, this was exactly where Miss Jiang second’s intelligence lies.” Lu Ji nodded, “at first, it was difficult to untie the knot between them. Against reason, the Ye family encountered this difficulty this time and by luck, she solved their emergency. Stepping forward bravely at this crucial point, having the feeling of being in the same boat, it’s no longer possible for the Ye family to coldly scowl at her. Moreover, Miss Jiang second is used to conducting herself well and looks sincere. It’s very likely that the Ye family members have been firmly bought by her since earlier.”

That’s it, he lamented: “How she could run into such an opportunity is also considered as good luck.”

“What good luck,” Ji Heng shook his fan, “she already knew from earlier that there would be this incident, and has long ago waited for the play to begin. Nowadays, there’s no shortage of people who’re emotionally touched.”

Lu Ji was silent for a moment before speaking: “Master, the people from the Weaving Unit have arrived. Are we still going to get involved in the affair in Xiangyang? By the look of it, Tong Zhi Yang is not the person in charge. His outer room is also grasped in Ye Ming Yu’s hand. The Ye family is safe, afraid the situation is going to change.”

“No need.” Ji Heng said.

A cloudy day, the peony on the folding fan seemed to be influenced by the gloomy weather, appearing somewhat dull. Only his red gown showed as the bright color in the world, fresh, beautiful, and untouchable.

“The Li family’s boy is an embarra.s.sment.” Ji Heng said slowly: “Still not as good as the skills of a little girl. Li Lian could not take part in the Ye family affairs, as for whether he would stumble or not, let him seek for good fortune himself.” A strange color flashed through his eyes, “Contrary to expectation, the Jiang family’s young miss……. It would be good if she was not surnamed Jiang.”
