Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 103 Part 2:
“Then, trouble Master Tang.” Jiang Li smiled and said: “I’ll go back and write a letter to inform my father about this matter, telling him that everything is going smoothly.”
Hearing this, Tang Fan was immediately full of vigor. His previous hesitation, his fear that he got involved in the middle of trouble, was suddenly cleared. Jiang Li’s words were practically a guarantee that she would say good things about him in front of Jiang Yuan Bai. Perhaps soon, his road to promotion would be a bit smoother.
It’s worth it.
Jiang Li saw the flash of delight in Tang Fan’s eyes and smiled inside. The government officials from Yanjing had the habit of relying on their wives or female family members to climb up, without exception, including a Weaving Unit small official dispatched on assignment. Having power was indeed much more convenient; she rejoiced that she could make use of the power easily with her identity.
Tang Fan, the responsible party, brought the problematic ancient fragrant satin away as evidence. A part of these ancient fragrant satin would be brought back to Yanjing. The next step was to investigate the origin of the availability of tuóluó in Xiangyang. Jiang Li was not very worried that he couldn’t find anyone. The Ye family really did not have to dig their own grave, washing their injustice clean was only a matter of time. In addition, Tang Fan was now partial to their side while Tong Zhi Yang’s outer room was still held in their hands, there’s really not a need to be very anxious. It’s just that the Ye family’s reputation had already been most likely destroyed, thus, even if their wrongful accusation had been washed clean, the Ye family would not be able to restore their former glory.
Once bitten by a snake, ten years in fear of a well rope. Towards ancient fragrant satin, afraid the commoners would flinch in the future.
The Ye family returned to the Ye residence and told everything to Guan-shi and Zhuo-shi. After they finished listening to the entire process, each of them had a stunned look. Nobody foresaw the emergence of this tuóluó flower.
“Who wants to harm our family?” Zhuo-shi was puzzled, “the Ye family is always benevolent, distributing congee during natural disasters and do not make enemies. Who would use this malicious method to ruin the Ye family’s reputation?”
“Maybe it’s the other cloth merchants.” Guan-shi said: “The business of the ancient fragrant satin alone is very big, it will inevitably attract jealousy.”
“If it’s really out of jealousy, no need to be at this time.” Jiang Li said: “In the first two years, the Ye family’s business was even more thriving. These years, the other businesses were set aside and focusing on the weaving manufacture only. If they wanted to deal with the Ye family, they would have begun in those first two years. On the contrary, they choose the time when older cousin Ye has just entered officialdom…….”
When these words came out, everyone was startled. Ye Ming Yu looked at Jiang Li and said: “Ah Li, what you mean is, someone wants to harm Shijie?”
Ye Shijie was the only male in the Ye family that entered officialdom. In the future, the Ye family would rely on Ye Shijie, thus all of the people became solemn.
“Not harming older cousin Ye,” Jiang Li explained patiently, “older cousin Ye has just entered officialdom and is valued by His Majesty. So his government position is very important. Perhaps someone wants to rope him in, perhaps someone wants to suppress him. If older cousin Ye is all alone in the words, it is easier to influence him. However, the Ye family is different, in case someone wants to exploit older cousin Ye, hitting the Ye family is the most reliable and beneficial way.”
After thinking about it, she still decided to tell these things to the Ye family members. The enemy was clear while they were in the dark was not a favorable thing for the Ye family. It’s better to speak openly so as to let the Ye family be vigilant, save the divergent thoughts in the future.
Ye Ming Yu shot up: “What! Someone deliberately did this? Just to use our family to control Shijie?”
“Uncle Ming Yu, this was just my hypothesis,” Jiang Li shook her head, “As for the specifics I’m not very clear either. After all, now we are in Xiangyang, there’s no need to be anxious. The person behind wants to frame the Ye family, yet now the Ye family has dug out the trap but the other party has not yet gained anything. Naturally, they would soon expose the horse’s tail. When the moment comes, follow the traces and some clues will always be obtained.”
“Younger cousin, does my older cousin know about this?” Ye Jia Er asked.
“He knows.” Jiang Li said, “when I wrote the letter to him, aside for asking him to write a letter to the Weaving Unit, I still let him know my hypothesis. But older cousin is currently in the capital, even if just looking at my father, if anyone wants to do any tricks, they would not dare to do it openly. Older cousin Shijie is very clever, he could weigh everything well.”
“Many thanks to you.” Ye Rufeng thanked her stiffly. He said: “But you permitted others to use Chief Assistant Jiang’s name, if he knows, are you sure there won’t be any problem?” He was not willing to call Jiang Yuan Bai uncle, and used the estranged appellation Chief Assistant Yuan. He felt extremely complicated, he truly despised Jiang Yuan Bai, but to be honest, this time, if Jiang Yuan Bai ‘s name was not used to suppress, the matters definitely would not be this simple. Tong Zhi Yang would not be apprehensive to some extent, and Tang Fan also would not be doing his utmost.
“Rest assured.” Jiang Li smiled, “after all, he’s my father. The official is already acting so big, if you don’t use such a name, wouldn’t it be wasting it in vain?”
Moreover, this was just a small rehearsal. After this, the Jiang family and Cheng Wang would come in contact eventually.
She was just letting it come ahead of schedule.
……
The arrival of the officers dispatched from the Weaving Unit slightly comforted the Ye family. The emergence of tuóluó also allowed the case to have a definitive progress.
Three days later, Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan were released.
The people Tang Fan brought investigated the entire Ye family’s weaving manufacture place, but they did not find any traces of tuóluó. Each one of the weaving girls in the weaving place was examined thoroughly, there wasn’t a single doubtful point. It’s unknown how Tang Fan negotiated with Tong Zhi Yang that Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan were allowed to return to the Ye residence for the time being.
The Ye family members were happy for the return of their family’s pillars. Knowing that this was the result of Jiang Li’s involvement, Ye Ming Hui, who was always cautious from the beginning, finally opened his heart towards Jiang Li.
Ye Ming Hui sighed: “Ah Li, the Ye family’s difficulty this time, luckily there’s you. Originally, I had a lot of thoughts about you, but now it seems that I’ve used the heart of a villain to fill the gentleman’s belly. I’m sorry.” He unexpectedly raised his hands to pay a gift to Jiang Li as an apology.
Jiang Li promptly moved sideways, expressing that she didn’t dare to receive it. She smiled and said: “Uncle Ming Hui, saying this will scare Ah Li. Originally it’s one family, if my mother was still around, knowing that the Ye family has run into a problem, she also would not watch with folded arms. At that time, I was still young, was led astray by others and wounded grandmother and uncles’ hearts. Thinking about it now, I feel very much ashamed. I’m already very grateful that uncles are willing to give me an opportunity to make up.”
