Marriage of the Di Daughter

Mingyi Hall's examinations, the upper three and the lower three, are finally all over.

The inspection started with a bang, and the curtain ended with a bang, but there was one name known to everyone in this inspection, that is Jiang Er, Miss Jiang Li.

Calligraphy, arithmetic, ritual, music, imperial, archery, all six items won the first prize, this is the first person since Mingyitang started. If this Second Miss Jiang was a child prodigy who had been famous since she was a child, that would be fine, but this Second Miss Jiang was sent away just after she was enlightened, and she was sent away alone in the nunnery for eight years. There are many people.

The gambling shops in the streets and alleys of Yanjing City made a lot of money. Because of the betting agreement with Meng Hongjin, most people bet on Meng Hongjin's victory, and very few bet on Jiang Lisheng's victory. Even if they bet on Jiangli's victory, they only bought a little. First, it is the banker who makes the profit. Therefore, the owner of the gambling workshop is very fond of Jiangli, and whenever he sees people, he always talks about Jiangli's benefits—because he gets a bonus, he has to reciprocate. As a result, Miss Jiang's reputation suddenly improved a lot because of this test.

In the same way, there are gains and losses. Miss Jiang Er is showing off on the field, especially on Qinyue and Yushe. So many pairs of eyes have seen Miss Jiang Er's true ability. The young ladies are all worthless. Therefore, in this year's inspection, the Second Miss Jiang stands out, and there is no such thing as a hundred flowers competing for beauty in the past.

When people remembered Jiang Li, the amazing Jiang Youyao and others in the past had long been forgotten. Even if people remember Meng Hongjin, it is only because she injured Princess Yongning with an arrow in the imperial shooting range, and the ridiculous bet with Jiang Li, which has nothing to do with her own demeanor.

Some people remember that the third miss of the Jiang family was sweet and lovely, while others remember that the second miss was unparalleled in beauty, smart and intelligent. There are three thousand weak waters in the world, and each has his favorite scoop, but whether he can get his favorite scoop depends entirely on fate.

In Ningyuanhou's mansion, Zhou Yanbang was sitting in a daze. The pages of the book in front of the desk were blown open by the wind, but Zhou Yanbang didn't realize it.

What emerged in front of my eyes was the figure of a young girl in green clothes flying like the wind on the racetrack.

Zhou Yanbang was a little crazy. In the past years, he had never cared so much about women. Even for Jiang Youyao, his fiancée whom he was very satisfied with, in Zhou Yanbang's heart, women are not the most important thing, marrying a young lady, making her well-clothed and well-fed, and handing over the mansion to her, is called a wife.

But now, Zhou Yanbang understood that Jiang Li was the only wife he liked.

The girl was like a mystery, the more he dismissed him, the more persistent Zhou Yanbang became. In particular, Jiang Li used to be his fiancée, and she should have been his. If there hadn't been an accident in the Jiang family halfway, it would be so troublesome now. At the racetrack today, besides himself, there were many people looking at Jiangli. Zhou Yanbang was not happy to see the eyes of people around him looking at Jiangli.

That is his person, how can he be seen by others at will?

Jiangli's reputation was not good before, and it may be difficult to find her husband's family in the future. But in this test, Jiang Li's talent and name Yanjing knew that she was born so beautiful, and she was Jiang Yuanbai's legitimate daughter. Jiang Li was already in time, and I'm afraid that it won't be long before someone proposes marriage People go... With Jiang Li's conditions, there are probably not a few people who are interested in her.

Zhou Yanbang felt uncomfortable, and was a little restless. When he thought of Jiang Li marrying someone else, it was as if his wife had been taken away, and he was very angry and remorseful.

When I was worrying, the servant came into the room and said, My lord, my wife is here.

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou walked in.

Zhou Yanbang hurriedly stood up: Mother.

Mrs. Hou Ningyuan smiled and said: I asked the kitchen to make some plum cakes for you. The weather is hot these days, so you can eat something refreshing. Seeing Zhou Yanbang's messy books on the table, Mrs. Hou paused, Looking at Zhou Yanbang inquiringly, he asked, Yanbang, do you have something on your mind recently?

Recently Zhou Yanbang is often distracted when doing things, and he is often absent-minded when explaining things to him. Mrs. Hou wondered if Zhou Yanbang was sad because the Imperial College released the list, so she comforted her and said, Could it be because of the Imperial College matter? , but since he can surpass Li Jing, the young master of the Li family, he must have real skills, so you don't have to worry about it too much. It's pretty good that you are third.

Zhou Yanbang originally thought that the Imperial College released the rankings this year, and the only one who surpassed him in the entire Imperial College was Li Jing, the young master of the right minister's mansion, but this time Li Jing became the second, he became the third, and the first was someone who had never been before. Ye Shijie, who has heard the name, should not be an official in Yanjing City.

Mother, it's not because of this... Zhou Yanbang was a little bit embarrassed. He was the only son in Ningyuanhou's mansion, Mrs. Hou and Lord Hou loved him very much, but Zhou Yanbang himself felt absurd to make such a request at this time.

What's the reason for that? Mrs. Hou asked strangely.

I... Zhou Yanbang gritted his teeth, and said, I don't want to marry Miss Jiang San from Yuanfu's house. My son's favorite is Miss Jiang Er!

The dessert plate in Mrs. Ning Yuanhou's hand fell to the ground with a snap.

...

The master sent the money.

In Fangfei Garden, Tong'er happily held a small wooden box and put the wooden box on the table.

Jiang Li opened the lid of the box, and saw that there were ingots of silver neatly stacked up. I heard that Jiang Yuanbai would reward Jiang Youyao with silver when he performed well in the inspections in the past. I don't know if it was for a bowl of water to be level, and I also gave her money.

But Jiang Li understood that if Jiang Youyao won all the checks this time, at least Jiang Yuanbai would congratulate her warmly, instead of saying a few simple compliments and leaving.

Jiang Li was not surprised. Jiang Yuanbai and a daughter who had been away from home for eight years, apart from guilt, it was really difficult to have a particularly deep relationship. Of course, they loved Jiang Youyao who grew up by his side more. Now that Jiang Youyao is missing, of course Jiang Yuanbai will not congratulate Jiang Li with great fanfare.

There is a difference between intimacy and estrangement, you can tell at a glance.

She said: Put away the money, it will be useful in the future.

Tong'er kept the money as promised, and Mingyue knocked on the door outside.

Jiang Li said: Come in.

After Mingyue came in, she closed the door, stepped forward and said in a low voice: Girl, this servant has inquired about it, and the lady of the Meng family hasn't returned to the mansion yet, Mrs. Meng's family is still waiting in the mansion, and Mr. Meng stepped forward to deal with it. It seems that Princess Yongning won't give up this time.

Jiang Li nodded: Understood. This is what she guessed, Meng Hongjin should not recover, Jiang Li has seen Princess Yongning's torture method before. This time, Meng Hongjin might leave Princess Yongning with a permanent scar, so it's no wonder Meng Hongjin gets better.

If as expected, Meng Hongjin will be released tomorrow, but what happened to Meng Hongjin during this period is unknown, maybe it was a huge shock, or maybe Princess Yongning also left a few scars on Meng Hongjin.

The Meng family is a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, and cannot tell what they are suffering.

When Bai Xue heard the words, she asked Jiang Li: The girl's bet with Miss Meng still counts?

I want to count, but unfortunately I can't do it. Meng Hongjin will definitely not come out tomorrow, so you find a few people to speak at the gate of the Imperial College, and I understand Miss Meng's surprise. Don't mention it.

Tong'er was a little disappointed, and said: It's really cheap for her.

Jiang Li smiled and said: Even if I don't say it, Meng Youde will find an excuse to void the bet, or apologize to me, in short, it will not let Meng Hongjin really lose face. If I lose, my father will also Try to get rid of this bet. The ending is doomed, and now I say this, but I can get a good reputation, why not do it?

When outsiders see it, they will only say that she is kind-hearted and broad-minded, not only talented, but also virtuous. Aggressiveness always seems a bit too calculated. Saying something doesn't get in the way, and it doesn't get in the way of the ending, why not?

In her previous life, she didn't care too much about her reputation, so people used her reputation as a blade. Now she wants to be famous all over the world, and it is always much easier to do things wearing a mask.

Miss won the leader this time. I heard that the person who won the leader will enter the palace, and the emperor will personally give the gift. Tong'er thought of something, Will the girl be able to enter the palace immediately? This is a reward from the emperor. It is a supreme honor. No one will dare to bully girls in the future.

Jiang Li laughed. In retrospect, the last time she saw Emperor Hong Xiao was after Shen Yurong's number one scholar, she went to the night banquet in the palace as Shen Yurong's family members. Countless people envied her as the wife of the new top scholar. After all, Shen Yurong was suave and has a bright future. At that time, Princess Yongning drank a glass of wine with her.

Her gaze was slightly dark, perhaps at that time, Princess Yongning had already taken a fancy to Shen Yurong and started to make up her mind about Shen Yurong. I was regarded as a stumbling block, but I still didn't know it stupidly.

Now that she enters the palace again, she will definitely meet Princess Yongning, and if it is a palace banquet, there may be Shen Yurong. Only this time, she is no longer Shen's wife, but Jiang's daughter.

Who can do anything to whom?

She took another step closer to the two of them.

...

In a courtyard not far from the Imperial College, lights are lit in the house at night.

Ye Shijie was sitting at the table, writing a letter.

This time he won the first place in the Guozijian school examination, and he will enter the palace in a few days to receive a gift from the Holy Majesty, and he will be able to be an official soon. He had to tell the relatives of the Ye family in Xiangyang the good news.

In just a few lines, I have already explained myself. For the rest, Ye Shijie hesitated while holding a pen.

Jiang Li also won the first place in the Mingyi Hall examination.

Ye Shijie didn't know whether he should include Jiang Li or not. For so many years, no one in the Ye family has ever mentioned Jiang Li's name. The words of Second Miss Jiang many years ago completely chilled the hearts of the Ye family, and even made Mrs. Ye seriously ill. From then on, the Ye family only thought that there was no such lady, and no one dared to mention Ye Zhenzhen.

In this case, it should be very abrupt to suddenly mention Jiangli's recent situation. Ye Shijie really planned to stop writing, but every time he wanted to stop writing, he remembered what Jiang Li had said to him.

I was young at the time, and my grandmother was far away in Xiangyang. My mother left early, and my father was busy with government affairs, and most of them were taken care of by my stepmother. What I said may not have been taught to me, or someone threatened me to say it.

Jiang Li said that the Ye family is a merchant, and if they wanted to sever ties with the Ye family, could someone really be behind the scenes? The purpose is to separate Jiang Li from the Ye family and have no further contact?

Ye Shijie found that he could not help but believe in Jiang Li. In fact, he and Jiang Li didn't meet much, and there were only two short times when they could talk to each other. Did he trust her so much after meeting her?

Ye Shijie was a little unbelievable.

But he thinks that Jiangli is also incredible. With the Jiang family ignoring her so much, everyone in Yanjing City can remember her name abruptly, and this name is not a symbol of sin. I just think Miss Jiang Er is quite talented.

That was the woman who won all six items in Mingyi Hall.

He raised the pen and put it down, put it down and raised the pen again, and repeated this over and over again. Just when Ye Shijie was getting impatient, his personal servant Yuan Bao came in.

Yuan Bao took out a letter from his bosom, and said excitedly, Master, there is a letter from Xiangyang.

A letter? Ye Shijie was taken aback: It's not yet the day for the letter. He communicated with Ye's family every half a month, and it took a month to come and go. This time should be less than days.

Madam and the others must be worried about the young master's school exam, Yuan Bao said proudly, If the old lady knows that the young master won the first place, she will definitely hold a banquet in Xiangyang for three days and three nights.

Ye Shijie ignored him, opened the letter and read it by himself, and read it at a glance.

Seeing Ye Shijie's surprised expression, Yuan Bao asked, Eldest Young Master, what's the matter?

Father and Second Uncle are coming to Yanjing City to deliver the goods. Ye Shijie said: They are already on their way and will arrive in about seven days.

Ah? Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, and then asked stupidly, Then shall we still write letters back?

Write. Ye Shijie said. But just write his own, he thought, since his father and Uncle Ye are going to come to Yanjing City, it can be regarded as having a family to discuss, about Jiang Li's doubts, then naturally let them discuss it, and compare it with himself. It's much better for a person to have a headache here.

Thinking of this, Ye Shijie suddenly felt relieved, folded the first letter and sealed it in an envelope, handed it to Yuan Bao, and said, Send it back.

Yuan Bao's happy result: That's great!

...

After the inspection, Mingyi Hall does not need to go to school for the time being, and the students will rest at home for a few days.

At the gate of the Guozijian on the second day, Jiang Li's people followed Jiang Li's words and declared that the bet with Meng Hongjin was void, so there was no need to worry about it.

As soon as these words came out, the people of Yanjing City looked up to Jiang Li again, and they went all out for the bet, but after winning the game, they would not hold on to the bet. They were broad-minded and benevolent, which was very rare.

In this way, Meng Hongjin's appearance is like a joke.

Not only that, because Jiang Li was too gentle, and some people began to wonder if there was something hidden about Jiang Li's murder of her mother and brother, because such a gentle and lovely girl did not seem to be able to act so cruelly. Whoever did it.

And Ji Shuran is the stepmother, this relationship is delicate, so there are different opinions on guessing.

These words reached Ji Shuran's ears, Ji Shuran was very angry, but because of this, she treated Jiang Li more virtuously and kindly, which made Jiang Li feel very uncomfortable.

In Shuxiu Garden, the maids inside and outside the yard are working hard. Everyone knows that Ji Shuran is not in a good mood these days. The maids are afraid that they will be used as a raft, and they are more dedicated than usual.

There are two servant girls guarding the door. In the house, the ice in the copper bull seems to be unable to relieve the summer vacation. The summer is coming to an end, and it is even more stuffy, which makes people feel restless.

Ji Shuran was talking to her sister, Ji Chenshi.

Mrs. Ji Chen came to look for Ji Shuran early in the morning. Jiang Yuanbai was not at the house. Mrs. Ji Chen said, What have you been doing these past few days? Do you know what people say about you now? Even I have heard those gossips. , saying that Jiang Li killed his mother and brother at the beginning may not have been a drama of yours.

It's okay not to mention this matter, but when this matter is mentioned, Ji Shuran is also full of anger, and said: Sister, what are you blaming me for? This word is spread by outsiders, and everyone in my yard dare not mention this matter.

No matter who mentioned it, the more rumors spread, it's not a good thing for you. Ji Chen said: It's all caused by that girl, why can't you even deal with a little girl?

When Ji Chen and Ji Shuran were not out of the cabinet, their relationship was very good. Compared with Ji Shuran's usual graceful gestures, Ji Chen was much tougher.

Ji Shuran said angrily: That girl is not slippery, she has a lot of eyes, not to mention me, even you have to struggle. This time the Meng family, have you seen it clearly, Meng Hongjin clearly lost her wife and broke her Bing, I originally thought that since Meng Hongjin wanted to deal with her, it would be best for me to be a fisherman, but who knew that Meng Hongjin was useless, not only did she not succeed, but she also got herself in.

What's going on? Ji Chen was startled: The matter of Meng Hongjin is also related to her?

Ji Shuran told Ji Chen about Meng Hongjin and Jiang Li's affairs in detail, and finally said: Since Jiang Li returned to Yanjing City, she has never suffered a single loss. She is also about the same age as Youyao, but you She has much more eyes than Youyao. If you keep her in the mansion in the future, how can Youyao be her opponent?

Listen to you, Ji Chen said in a deep voice, Jiang Li can't stay anymore, I'm afraid she will be more powerful in a few days, so it's best to get rid of her as soon as possible.

You mean... to marry her? Ji Shuran said, It's not impossible, but the master will definitely ask.

That's not easy, Ji Chen said with a sneer: There are countless young masters and brothers among them, just find someone who sounds good but is not so good, and you marry him, and in two or three years you will be fine. It's gone, outsiders can't see anything, isn't it a very simple thing?

Sister, please keep an eye out for me. Ji Shuran said: If there is such a person, I will find a way to tell the master and make the master a marriage.

Mrs. Ji Chen nodded, and the two were talking when they suddenly saw Jiang Youyao running in from the outside. She ran so fast that even Mrs. Ji Chen didn't see her, she just called Mother and her voice choked up.

Ji Shuran was startled, and quickly stepped forward to hold Jiang Youyao's hand, seeing Jiang Youyao's face covered with tears, said anxiously: Youyao, what's wrong with you? Then he angrily scolded Jiang Youyao's maid, Jinhuayinhua, and said: How do you take care of your master—

Mother, without waiting for Ji Shuran to continue speaking, Jiang Youyao threw herself into her arms, sobbing, Zhou Shizi, Zhou Shizi wants to break off the engagement with me...

What? Ji Chen on the side jumped up, Youyao, what did you say?

Only then did Jiang Youyao realize that Mrs. Ji Chen was there, and she called out Auntie and kept crying.

Ji Shuran asked the maid to close the door, and asked Jiang Youyao, Youyao, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Why did Zhou Yanbang break off the engagement with you? Where did you hear the rumors...

It's true, Jinhua's elder sister works in Ningyuan Hou's mansion. Last night, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou quarreled with the prince. The servant girl bribed the servant in the prince's yard to ask clearly. The prince said, the prince said that he wanted to break off the engagement with me. I want to marry Jiangli!

Golden Flower! Ji Shuran said, Is what Youyao said true?

Jin Hua immediately knelt down and said: What this slave girl said is absolutely true, there is indeed such a thing. Jin Hua was also terrified in her heart, everyone in Yanjing City knew that the marriage between Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang was a certainty, even if it was Jiang Li couldn't change it even after she came back. But at this juncture, Zhou Shizi actually proposed to marry Jiangli. This is because the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and his family beat his own family.

It's really unreasonable! Ji Shuran was furious, and said, What kind of people does Zhou Yanbang think of our Jiang family? Come and leave whenever you want?

Jiang Youyao was already crying and her make-up was ruined, and she grabbed Ji Shuran's sleeve: Mother, what should I do? Zhou Shizi doesn't want me anymore, and he wants to marry Jiang Li...I will become the laughing stock of Yanjing City, mother, I don't want...

Ji Shuran saw her crying pear blossoms with rain, she was very sad and distressed, she just grabbed Jiang Youyao's hand and said: Don't worry, mother will ask for an explanation for you. Zhou Yanbang was so vacillating, but my Jiang family was not arbitrary. It's not that easy to break off the engagement, whoever wants to make you the laughing stock of Yanjing City will make him regret it for the rest of his life!

With the last sentence, Ji Shuran almost gritted her teeth.

You Yao, don't worry. Ji Chen was calmer than Ji Shuran, and said, Last night, since Zhou Yanbang argued with Mrs. Hou, it means that Mrs. Hou did not agree with Zhou Yanbang's actions. Besides, Zhou Yanbang has already regretted breaking the contract once. It can be ruined for the second time, and the elder sister becomes the younger sister, and the younger sister becomes the older sister. This is the first time I have heard of this since Beiyan. If Zhou Yanbang still wants to be promoted in the future, he will not do such absurd things. Let him do it, and your father will not agree.

Hearing this, Jiang Youyao felt at ease, and asked: Won't Prince Zhou break off the engagement with me?

Of course not. Ji Chen said with a smile: You are the daughter of the Jiang family, and your father is the chief minister of the court. Who would dare to treat you like this.

But Jiang Li is also a young lady of the Jiang family, Jiang Youyao was unwilling, It would be great if she was not from the Jiang family. If she was just an ordinary person, she would not be so troublesome. If Jiang Li was just an ordinary person, with Ji Shuran's family background, naturally It can make the other party retreat in spite of difficulties, or disappear without a sound.

Even if she is from the Jiang family, it's not that troublesome. Ji Chen patted Jiang Youyao's shoulder and said, Youyao, you go down first, I have something to discuss with your mother.

Jiang Youyao originally wanted Ji Shuran to take the lead for her, but looking at Ji Chen's face, she knew that Ji Chen and Ji Shuran had important matters to discuss, but she didn't say much, with tears of gold and silver flowers The back Yao Guang built.

After Jiang Youyao left, Ji Shuran said coldly: Sister, now you see, that little slut Jiang Li is so capable, it's only been so long since he returned to Beijing, and even Zhou Yanbang hooked up with her, really shameless!

Zhou Yanbang is young, and men all look the same, Ji Chen said: A wife is not as good as a concubine, it is better to steal, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal. When Jiang Li and Zhou Yanbang were still engaged, why did Zhou Yanbang ask? Say something to her? Now that Jiangli is back, he thinks of this marriage again, it's nothing more than three words 'can't ask for'. If he gets Jiangli, he will think of Youyao again.

Ji Chen's words actually analyzed the inferiority of men to the extreme. Ji Shuran said: Even so, when I think that the person my daughter's husband is thinking about is Jiangli, I feel sick for a while.

So, I have to think of a way. Ji Chen said: I originally thought that I would make a fuss about Jiang Li's marriage, but now that I think about it, Jiang Li married someone else, which would actually make Zhou Yanbang feel bad, and even more so. You can't ask for it, the obsession with Jiang Li is even worse, and it is inevitable that you will blame Youyao. I watched Youyao grow up, and I treat Youyao like my own daughter. How can I bear to see her wronged .”

Ji Shuran said: I thought so too, sister, but it's not easy to do it in Yanjing City...

What are you doing? Mrs. Ji Chen shook her head, People from our Ji family never do it by ourselves. And what's the point of taking her life?

Ji Chen was puzzled: What does sister mean?

Didn't it mean that the chief inspector of the Mingyi Hall will enter the palace banquet in a few days, and His Majesty will personally give the ceremony. At the palace banquet, there are quite a few people who come, and they are all from the aristocratic families of Yanjing City. If you make any noise at the palace banquet, your reputation will be ruined.

It's to make her... Ji Shuran suddenly realized.

Do you still remember Mrs. Shen, the wife of Mr. Shen, who was the master of Zhongshushe? She was such a beautiful woman. If it was about appearance or talent, she would have entered the palace, but in the end she was not cast aside by everyone. Look at her dead. No, there is no one who speaks well of her. It is not that she has done a scandal in front of the nobleman. The same is true for Jiang Li. Jiang Li is not as good-looking and talented as that one, and she has the reputation of killing her mother and brother. As long as there is a mistake in the palace banquet, there is really no turning back. Ji Chen said slowly.

She said it easily, but Ji Shuran understood it in an instant. There seemed to be a picture of Jiang Li being pointed at in front of her eyes, which made her excited and relieved.

I will arrange this matter. At the palace banquet, I will arrange a 'love' for her.

Ji Chen took a look at Ji Shuran and said, Stupid, isn't there one in front of you?

Ji Shuran was puzzled.

I heard that Ye Shijie is at the top of the Guozijian list this time, which is Ye Zhenzhen's natal family. Jiang Li and Ye Shijie are also cousins, cousins ​​or something, and things are most likely to happen. Wasn't Jiang Li still helping Ye Shijie on the street before? I guess they might have something.

Ji Shuran's face darkened: You mean Ye Shijie? Why do you let her be so cheap? In Ji Shuran's view, Ye Shijie is barely considered a young talent, and now he is at the top of the list of the Imperial College. Jiang Li's marriage to Ye Shijie is really cheap for Ye Shijie. It's better to let Jiang Li marry an ugly lazy man who has nothing and everyone looks down on, so that he can relieve his anger.

My good sister, you have to think long-term. Is it really good for Jiang Li to marry Ye Shijie? Ji Chen said unhurriedly: Now that Ye Shijie has won the title of leader, he will become an official in the future. Although the Ji family Don't take him seriously, but it's still an eyesore, if the Ye family relies on Ye Shijie to get up, Jiang Li will have the support of her grandparents, and then it will be even more difficult for you to move Jiang Li.

At the palace banquet, if Ye Shijie and Jiang Li had an affair and revealed it to everyone, the Holy One would be furious and would definitely turn his anger on Ye Shijie. Ye Shijie had no hope of being promoted, and would be stabbed in the back. Jiang Li's reputation was notorious, and the two had to get married. But after getting married, will they really respect each other as guests? Ji Chen said: Ye Shijie must have resentment against Jiang Li because Jiang Li ruined his future, and the Ye family will also blame Jiang Li for it. Let go of the rift... Ji Chen smiled, If you want to live a good life, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky. At that time, you can go find a few beautiful girls from outside, or buy people around Jiang Li, and provoke a few people from time to time. In other words, I'm not afraid that Ye Shijie and Jiang Li won't become enemies.

As for the enemy in a marriage, women are always more sad than men. Ji Chen continued: When Jiang Li is in Xiangyang at that time, if you try to deal with her, it will be much easier than now.

Ji Shuran suddenly understood.

Letting Jiang Li and Ye Shijie love can not only ruin Ye Shijie's future, ruin the Ye family's hope, make it impossible for the Ye family to turn over, but also make Jiang Li marry a husband's family who has a grudge against her, and everything will not go well.

As long as she is married to Xiangyang, Ji Shuran believes that she has ten thousand ways to make Jiang Li's life worse than death.

Thank you, sister, for your suggestion. Ji Shuran was convinced by Ji Chen this time, and said, My sister's method is much more thoughtful than mine.

Compared to Concubine Li in the palace, you and I are still far behind. Ji Chen said, Go quickly to comfort You Yao, she has been doted on since she was a child, Zhou Yanbang humiliated her like this, She must be very sad in her heart. Don't let her impulsively do stupid things to ruin your plan.

Ji Shuran's heart trembled, and said: I can save it, I'll go now.

Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

...

On the other end, Tong Er told Jiang Li the news she had inquired about.

It is said that the third lady is in a very bad mood, Yao Guangzhu's servants have been punished, but some people saw the third lady and cried...

Jiang Li put down the book in her hand, and wondered: Crying? Most of Jiang Youyao could be angry with herself, but Jiang Li didn't think she could make Jiang Youyao cry in anger. In the mansion, he didn't go anywhere, and he didn't have any conflict with Jiang Youyao.

Yeah, I don't know what it is. Later, I heard that Mrs. Ji comforted me for a while, but the master got angry again.

Jiang Li didn't understand even more, but she just came to Jiang's Mansion not long ago, and she couldn't arrange her own people in Jiang's Mansion. Except for Fangfei Garden, she could only rely on Tong'er to help inquire about other yard affairs. The news obtained through inquiring in this way is not always very detailed.

Just after saying this, she heard someone calling her name outside the door: Jiang Li! Jiang Li!

It was Jiang Jingrui's voice.

The second young master is here again. Tong'er curled her lips, Jiang Jingrui came too frequently, the tea in Fangfei Garden was almost drank up, and the new tea would not be delivered until next month.

Seeing Tong'er's expression, Jiang Jingrui shouted: Jiang Li, take good care of your servant girl. I am the second young master of the Jiang family's mansion. Others begged me to come here, but I won't. Shenghui, what do you see on her expression?

Jiang Li didn't bother to correct his random rhetoric, so she just said: What's the matter with you here? She was originally a very patient person, and she treated people kindly, but Jiang Jingrui was really capable of messing around, and her words were not mean. He was too sweet, so Jiang Li didn't welcome him very much.

Jiang Jingrui looked around pretentiously, then dragged Jiang Li into the room, and closed the door. Jiang Li felt helpless, if Fangfeiyuan had an insider, she would know that Jiang Jingrui was going to discuss the secret room, and others would not know that he was going to talk.

Jiang Li waited for him to close the door, then sat down in front of the wooden table, and saw that Jiang Jingrui was familiar with the way, and asked Bai Xue to pour him tea.

Jiang Li said: If you don't say anything, I will go out.

Hey, don't, don't, I've brought you a big secret this time. Jiang Jingrui winked at her.

Say.

Cough cough. Jiang Jingrui cleared his throat, then deliberately lowered his voice, and said, Did you know that Zhou Yanbang, the eldest son of Marquis of Ningyuan, wants to break off the engagement with Jiang Youyao!

What? Even Jiang Li, who had been mentally prepared, was shocked by Jiang Jingrui's words. If she remembered correctly, Zhou Yanbang had broken off his engagement once before, and it was with Miss Jiang Er, who later became Miss Jiang Third. Now they are repeating the old trick and breaking off the engagement with Jiang Youyao, what's the trouble?

I knew you definitely didn't know. Jiang Jingrui seemed to be proud of knowing a secret that Jiang Li didn't even know, and he said, Guess why Zhou Yanbang broke off the engagement with Jiang Youyao? Jiang Li smiled narrowly.

Jiang Li vaguely guessed some reasons, but felt that it was ridiculous. No matter how messed up Zhou Yanbang was, it definitely wouldn't be like this. She said, I can't guess.

It's because of you! Jiang Jingrui laughed loudly: Zhou Yanbang regrets it now, maybe because he saw you showing off in the Mingyi Hall examination and thought you were much better than Jiang Youyao, so he decided to break off the engagement and remarry You go through the door!

It's so funny! It was Tong'er who spoke, and Tong'er angrily put the teapot in his hand on the table, My girl is not his Zhou family's maid, so she can do whatever she wants? It was their Zhou family who broke the engagement before. After all, now that I want to remarry the girl, have you asked her for her opinion? Ningyuanhou's family is simply deceiving people too much!

Even Tonger is complaining about Jiang Li.

Jiang Jingrui wondered: What is there to be angry about? Although Zhou Yanbang is not very good, he is still considered a young talent in Yanjing City, and he is in the same family as the Jiang family. His life is not bad, many girls admire him, and he is worthy of your family. The miss is not bad. Besides, Jiang Li, he looked at Jiang Li, If you are with Zhou Yanbang, Jiang Youyao will definitely die of anger, and it is also the evidence that you compare Jiang Youyao, she is not as good as you.

Jiang Li was about to laugh angrily at Jiang Jingrui's remarks, and she understood that Jiang Jingrui was obviously clueless, so she said, I'm comparing her, why do I need evidence, who to show it to? If Jiang Youyao dies, I have to go with myself, am I crazy? Besides, she sneered, No matter how good Zhou Yanbang is, I, Jiang Li, don't want to pick up things used by others. She is not Princess Yongning , like to pick up other people's used things.

Jiang Jingrui stared at Jiang Li dumbfounded. Jiang Li's words made Jiang Jingrui look like a trash thrown on the street, and judging by Jiang Li's expression, she really dismissed Zhou Yanbang, not pretending. from.

What Jiang Youyao regarded as a treasure, was abandoned by Jiang Li like a shoe.

Jiang Jingrui said, Why are you angry at me? It was Zhou Yanbang who brought up this matter.

And then? Tong'er hurriedly asked: Did the master agree to this matter?

How is that possible? Jiang Jingrui said contemptuously, Before Zhou Yanbang and your lady broke off the engagement because... cough, something happened and your lady went to the nunnery. Now that Zhou Yanbang proposed to break the engagement, Jiang Youyao did nothing wrong. How can Uncle tolerate it? It is kind of him not to come to the Zhou family to ask for an explanation.

Jiang Li grasped the point of Jiang Jingrui's words, and said, What's the matter? No one from the Zhou family came?

Tch, how dare the Zhou family come here. Zhou Yanbang is crazy, but his parents are not crazy. Zhou Yanbang said this himself, but Ningyuan Hou and his wife did not agree. The servant of Zhou Yanbang's family heard it. They quarreled and secretly told the servants in our house, and the servants told the eldest aunt. Hearing that Jiang Youyao was crying a lot, the eldest aunt was still comforting, and the eldest uncle was very angry, and almost went to Ningyuanhou's mansion himself.

Jiang Li was stunned, no wonder Jiang Youyao cried when Tong'er found out, it turned out that it was because of this.

How do you know? Jiang Li asked.

My mother was talking to the nanny, I overheard it. Jiang Jingrui said carelessly, My mother has always been concerned about the eldest family's affairs, and there is a little trouble, much faster than you know.

Jiang Li was speechless.

Zhou Yanbang, Jiang Jingrui continued, You actually said that you want to terminate the engagement at this juncture, so you're really fascinated by you. If you want to marry you, Jiang Youyao likes Zhou Yanbang so much, probably because she was pissed off. But this is also her own fault. When you were sent to the nunnery, the aunt soon planned to let Jiang Youyao marry you to Ningyuanhou's mansion instead. It can be seen that there are some things that cannot be taken away.

The way Jiang Jingrui said this seemed to be somewhat proud of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was not in such a good mood as Jiang Jingrui. She knew that Zhou Yanbang's proposal to break off the engagement and marry her was definitely not a good thing for her. At least in the hearts of Ji Shuran's mother and daughter, at this moment they must hate themselves a hundred times, even a thousand times more than before.

According to the narrow-minded and cruel characters of the mother and daughter, Jiang Li thought that Jiang Youyao would never let her go easily. In order to get rid of Zhou Yanbang's thoughts, he would even kill the grass and roots.

After much deliberation, the palace banquet in the near future is an excellent timing.

Jiang Li lowered her eyes, the crisis was gradually approaching.

nice weekend! wave up!
