Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 84 Part 4: Chaos

Chapter 84 Part 4: Chaos


Jiang You Yao’s heart had long since fluctuated violently. Hearing that Zhou Yan Bang was ahead, regardless of Ji Shuran’s obstruction, she ran straight forward. Some cabinet ministers were standing at the door of Yu Xiu Pavilion, each and every one of them was out of the way, unwilling to dirty their eyes. Jiang Yuan Bai was also here. Upon seeing Jiang You Yao, he immediately spoke: “You Yao.”


Jiang You Yao ran to the door.


She saw the inside of Yu Xiu Pavilion was in a mess and emitting some kind of smell. Zhou Yan Bang and Jiang Yu’e have woken up, but their clothes were disheveled, it should have been put on in a hurry. Zhou Yan Bang’s face was flushed, appearing thoroughly embarra.s.sed. However, Jiang Yu’e looked towards Jiang You Yao and called out pitifully, “third sister.”


Jiang You Yao stepped forward in two three steps and without thinking, she raised her hand and “smack”, she slapped Jiang Yu’e.


Jiang Yu’e’s body was ruthlessly slanted sideways by the slap, but she didn’t budge. She merely covered her face with her hand, tears streamed down: “Third sister, I……. I’m sorry to you1.”


Jiang You Yao then turned to look at Zhou Yan Bang and asked sorrowfully: “Heir Zhou, you….. How could you do this?”


“I, I don’t know.” Zhou Yan Bang was also totally anxious and confused. He truly didn’t know what happened. He only remembered that he arranged a meeting with Jiang Li, afterwards, Jiang Li came and the two people had a very close relationship. Later on, his memory was a bit fuzzy until a female’s fearful cry woke him up. It was an unfamiliar woman, but she kept on saying that he had hara.s.sed her. Following that, the emperor and his father, plus some cabinet ministers, came over, but the person sleeping by his side turned to Jiang Yu’e.


Zhou Yan Bang couldn’t recall anything, but upon seeing Jiang You Yao beating Jiang Yu’e, and Jiang Yu’e covering her face to resist, looking wronged, he felt that Jiang Yu’e was extremely pitiful and his compa.s.sion stirred. Moreover, in front of him, Jiang You Yao had always looked naive, when did he ever see her so barbaric?


Jiang Li, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, saw Zhou Yan Bang’s behavior and was puzzled. According to reason, Jiang Yu’e was the only one who drank the wine laced with medicine, why would Zhou Yan Bang also have a dizzy and confused look on him?


“What is in second miss’s thoughts?” Ji Heng suddenly asked.


“Wondering why heir Zhou doesn’t seem to remember anything, whether it was just him making excuses.”


Ji Heng laughed lightly.


Jiang Li lifted her head and doubtfully glanced at him. Yet, she saw him shake his fan meaningfully and suddenly realized.


This person liked watching a play so much, enjoyed the bustling scene, and liked seeing the matter become big. Since the beginning, he knew her plan, did he perhaps add firewood in the middle to make this play becoming more wonderful?


Zhou Yan Bang’s conduct, could it actually be because of him?


Jiang Li felt complicated, she truly didn’t know the proper thing to say. This person, Ji Heng, was nothing good, but in this matter, he did very well. Actually achieved an unexpected result.


Shen Ruyun had presumably seen Zhou Yan Bang’s unaware appearance and was quickly struck with inspiration and thought of such a shady method.


Can this be regarded as an accident?


Thinking that Ji Heng had done a good thing, the way Jiang Li looked at him turned milder. But Ji Heng didn’t seem to notice and remained smiling as he watched the not-yet-finished play.


Jiang Yuan Bai could no longer bear it and pulled Jiang You Yao out to hand her over to Ji Shuran. Jiang You Yao personally saw everything and her heart was totally broken. She was unable to deal with other things at this time and silently cried while being held in Ji Shuran’s arms.


Hong Xiao Emperor had left, reportedly must not see this sordid scene.


But how will this play end? Jiang Li was also very curious. Zhou Yan Bang would certainly be brought back to his residence for now. Ningyuan Marquis’s residence would have a discussion and give an answer. But how would Jiang Yu’e deal with the main branch’s fury? Jiang Yu’e grabbed Jiang You Yao’s fiancee, Jiang Li didn’t believe that Jiang You Yao would leave the matter just like that.


Moreover, Jiang Li carelessly glanced around, Shen Yurong had not yet showed up.


She was just thinking about this when she saw a person hurriedly come over from outside the crowd. Shen Ruyun saw this person and called out: “Big brother!”


Shen Yurong had arrived.


Ningyuan Marquis was in the middle of worrying about what step to take next when he saw Shen Yurong come. His head immediately felt twice as big2. Their Ningyuan Marquis family could be considered a great family. However, this minister was currently the emperor’s favorite person. Shen Yurong had only one younger sister, Shen Ruyun. His own younger sister being bullied, how could he not ask for justice.


Ningyuan Marquis was in a dilemma.


No need to talk about Jiang Yu’e’s ident.i.ty for now, but Zhou Yan Bang and Jiang You Yao were already engaged. The other was the daughter of the court’s chief a.s.sistant, while the other was the younger sister of the court’s secretary3, both couldn’t be offended. But looking at the current situation, both parties were already offended.


“Yurong, why did you just arrive?” Mother Shen wept as she called out: “your younger sister was bullied!”


Jiang Li sneered inside. Why did he just arrive? Naturally he was using this precious time to meet with Princess Yongning.
