Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 43 Part 1 - Decision

Chapter 43 Part 1: Decision

In Warm and Graceful Courtyard, Jiang You Yao was sitting on the couch while fiddling and twisting the new ta.s.sels. Hearing that Jiang Li had gone to the study to look for Jiang Yuan Bai, she jumped up at once and said: “She looked for father? Why is she looking for father?”

The servant replied: “Apparently it’s for the matter of inviting a teacher that she looked for Eldest Master.”

Ji Shuran’s position in the main branch was very high. Usually with the slightest whiff of trouble, Ji Shuran would know soon. The action of the person coming to inform her could be regarded as rapid, soon after Jiang Li entered Jiang Yuan Bai’s study, Ji Shuran’s side had received the news.

“What does she wish to do? Is it possible that she still wants to personally pick a teacher?” Jiang You Yao examined.

Ji Shuran noticed the servant had hesitation on his face and commanded the servant girl to give him a pouch with silvers inside. Then she said: “Feel free to speak.”

“Replying to Madam.” The servant took the silver and his apprehensions immediately disappeared. He said at once: “The person guarding the study outside heard that the second miss wants to go to Ming Yi Hall and thus looked for Eldest Master.”

“Ming Yi Hall?” Jiang You Yao was unable to bear and shrieked: “Her? What qualifications does she have to enter Ming Yi Hall?”

Ji Shuran waved her hand, indicating the person handing the news to withdraw. Only after the person walked away, did Ji Shuran think aloud: “Jiang Li just returned to Yanjing and she wishes to go to Ming Yi Hall, as expected, her mind is deep. But no matter what, with how her own morality and conduct, talent and learning is, if she entered Ming Yi Hall, who knows what might happen. She used to be a stumbling child, if she displays any tricks later, there won’t be anyone to hold her back anymore.”

Before, the matter of Jiang You Yao’s birthday ceremony had troubled Ji Shuran and it took her a long time before the old madam Jiang and Jiang Yuan Bai eased up their treatment of her. Even though that was the case, she didn’t know how other madams talked behind her back. Ji Shuran had not yet calculated this debt clearly with Jiang Li, unexpectedly Jiang Li sent herself to the door looking for trouble.

Jiang You Yao excitedly said: “She must have wanted to get close to Zhou heir, this s.l.u.t!”

Across the female academy Ming Yi Hall was the Imperial College. The heir of Marquis Ningyuan, Zhou Yan Bang, was studying at the Imperial College. For a moment, Ji Shuran didn’t think of this, yet Jiang You Yao immediately thought of this.

“I know since earlier that she has bad intentions. Last time, on the day of the birthday ceremony, she seduced Zhou heir in the garden, simply shameless! Now she must not be allowed to carry out her plan. Mother, you must not let her succeed!”

Ji Shuran heard what Jiang You Yao said and immediately frowned. To be honest, Jiang Li grew quite well, moreover, compared to Jiang You Yao’s young-lady manners, she had an unspeakable calm temperament. This made whatever she did seem faint, without any striving and rus.h.i.+ng appearance. This had instead attracted men to pay more attention. Ji Shuran herself understood men, with Jiang Li’s style, if she intended to seduce Zhou Yan Bang, it might not be impossible.

She strove for this marriage with great difficulty for Jiang You Yao. Although Zhou Yan Bang was not someone related to royalty, in Yanjing, the position of Marquis Ningyuan was not lower than the Jiang family’s. Furthermore, Marquis Ningyuan’s family was simple. Zhou Yan Bang’s mother was also someone easy to get along with. Most importantly, Jiang You Yao was in love with Zhou Yan Bang. Such method of drawing people to their camp by s.n.a.t.c.hing the marriage from Jiang Li’s hand must not be a wasted effort.

“We must indeed not let her go to Ming Yi Hall.” Ji Shuran said: “The absolute certain matter is the birthday ceremony last time ended with her escaping unscathed. This small hoof is very dishonest. If we let her enter Ming Yi Hall, it’s unknown what might happen. It’s better to put her right under our nose, it will also be easier for us to give her a stumbling block.” Ji Shuran stood up: “I’ll immediately go look for your father.”
