Hi~~ sorry for the delay in release. From here on, the plan is to have 2x release per week. Let’s hope we can accomplish that! ^^ Enjoy~~ Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 44 Part 1: Instigation
Jiang Yuan Bai’s intention to send Jiang Li to attend Ming Yi Hall was quickly known to the entire Jiang family.
Lu shi and Jiang Yuan Ping from the second branch were talking about it: “What was eldest brother thinking about? How could he think of sending Jiang Li there? If Jiang Li was to enter, those young misses attending the school would inevitably talk about her behind her back. Perhaps they might even bully her. Then our Jiang family will lose face, right?”
Lu shi was spoiled since birth, Jiang Yuan Pin also had a good temperament and was always all smiles, therefore, there weren’t any apprehensions when they talked. The first half of her sentence showed consideration towards Jiang Li, but the latter half seemed to be blaming Jiang Li for losing their faces. It was vague whether her thoughts were good or bad.
“Eldest brother has his own ideas. What intention do you have for speaking blindly?” Jiang Yuan Ping drank a mouthful of tea unhurriedly: “Our second branch have no daughters.”
“That’s true.” Lu shi pondered before speaking: “If they want to lose face, it’s the main branch that’s going to lose face. But I see that Jiang Li is not someone who’s easy to deal with. For how long has she returned to the residence, already able to make eldest sister-in-law be covered in dirt. She seems to have progressed much more than before. But no idea how long she can persist. Ji shi, that person, I have never seen her eating a loss from anyone’s hand before.”
Listening to Lu shi’s manner of speaking, the relationship between her and Ji Shuran was not as amiable as it looked like on the surface.
“Don’t bother about her.” Jiang Yuan Ping waved his hand: “The world is at peace.”
In Wanfeng Hall, old madam Jiang was also in the middle of discussing this matter with Jiang Yuan Bai.
“Yuan Bai, in the end, what were you thinking?” asked old madam Jiang.
“Mother, Li’er is now 15 years old. The children of ordinary families enter schools at 15 years old, the crown prince entered school at 8 years old and the children of high-ranking officials enter schools at 10 years old. Although the time for Li’er to enter school is a bit late, it is still the same as the children from ordinary families.”
Old madam Jiang looked at Jiang Yuan Bai: “You know this is not what I’m asking about. At what age the second girl attends school is not important.”
Jiang Yuan Bai hesitated for a while: “Mother, although Li’er made a mistake before, it’s never too late to mend her ways. At that time, she was still too young, we mustn’t let the mistake made by the junior affect her future.”
Old madam Jiang lowered her eyes, no one knew what else she thought about. After a moment, she said: “Since you have made your decision, just do according to your arrangement. Zhen Zhu,” she called the servant girl by her side over, “Take the four treasures of the study made of purple wood from the warehouse and send it to the second girl.”
Zhen Zhu left hurriedly. Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan Bai loosened his breath.
He continued speaking with old madam Jiang about some matters following the entrance to the school before finally leaving. After Jiang Yuan Bai left, Fei Cui, the servant girl by the side of old madam Jiang, asked: “Does old madam not wish for the second miss to enter school?”
“If I didn’t want her to, I wouldn’t have sent her those stationery.”
Sending the stationery was to convey old madam Jiang’s support of Jiang Li entering the school. When the other members of the Jiang family were aware of it, even if they had other ideas, they wouldn’t dare to open their mouths.
“Then…….”Fei Cui was puzzled.
“I looked after Yuan Bai as he was growing up, he is a deep person. I was afraid he considered the second girl and thought of using the second girl for something.” Old madam Jiang let out a deep sigh, “However, the current second girl is not a person that could be used by someone.”
“I’m afraid animosity would be born between the father and daughter, causing the residence to not be at peace.”
What animosity would be born? All the bad feelings that should be between the two are already there. Plus what father and daughter, the real daughter already died bc of you all’s dongivashit attitude.
