Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 30: Nobody

Xiang Qiao's sudden outburst shocked everyone.

However, the fiercest reaction didn't come from Jiang Li, rather, it was from Tong'er. At once, Tong'er blocked in front of Jiang Li, just like a mother hen protecting its chick, she protected Jiang Li behind her body, and with a loud voice she retorted: "Nonsense! Venomous slander! My family's lady never did such a thing. Xiang Qiao, I see that your conscience has been bitten by a wolf. Actually tarnishing my family's lady in this way!"

Xiang Qiao didn't regard Tong'er, instead, she once again "thump thump thump" knocked her head down several times in succession towards old madam Jiang. She spoke while weeping: "This servant doesn't dare to tell lies, if there are half-false words, let the heavenly thunder split me in half!"

"You!" Tong'er was so angry she couldn't speak a word. This Xiang Qiao unexpectedly dared to issue this kind of poisonous vow, clearly she threw caution to the wind and didn't want her life anymore.

These words coming out from Xiang Qiao were like nailing the board on the accusation towards Jiang Li, no explanation was needed anymore.

Jiang Yu'e once again opened her mouth to ridicule: "Second sister, there isn't even an item of jewelry on your body, yet you bought third sister a set worth 400 taels of head ornament with precious stones, it was indeed very generous. Certainly with deep feelings between sisters, it's possible to do so. You've only returned to the capital for less than a month, didn't expect your affections towards third sister to be this deep."

The meaning of this sentence was, Jiang Li and Jiang You Yao originally were in disagreement, so how was it possible that Jiang Li had good intentions when she spent big money to buy the precious birthday gift sent to Jiang You Yao? Clearly it was to move her hands and feet.

Jiang You Yao lifted her head, the rims of her eyes were red. Feeling grievance, she still held a handkerchief to wipe the tear stains at the corner of her eyes. She opened her mouth sorrowfully and said: "Second sister, I'm very happy you've returned home. But I didn't expect you would still blame me in your heart."

"Li'er." Ji Shuran, who hadn't opened her mouth all along, walked forward. She drew Jiang You Yao into her embrace and patted her arm in distress, then looked towards Jiang Li: "If you have any dissatisfaction towards me, you can go straight to me. I regard myself as your mother and take care of you in every way, treating you with sincerity. I am not unreasonably requesting that you can accept me, just hoping that you can look at your father's face and our whole family can get along well, just like this. But You Yao is your own sister. How could you be so ruthless as to curse her, is it....... You really don't take blood relations into consideration?" Speaking up to here, she appeared extremely heartbroken and held Jiang You Yao while constantly shedding tears.

These two mother and daughter were delicate and pitiful. In a moment, they'd aroused many people's sympathy, especially Ji Shuran's last sentence, making people associate it with how Jiang Li once harmed Ji Shuran and caused her to lose her child. The madams present were soft hearted, those who had children were even more partial towards Ji Shuran. Someone whispered: "No wonder it's not good to be a stepmother. Pressed down by such a young lady, even a saint would feel difficult."

Old madam Jiang's face sank like water. Such a good birthday ceremony unexpectedly ended with the present farce. Today Jiang Li could be considered as completely throwing the entire Jiang family's face away. She looked criticizingly at Jiang Yuan Bai. If Jiang Yuan Bai had managed his backyard in order, there wouldn't be such troublesome things coming.
