MARRIAGE OF THE DI DAUGHTER

Chapter 15.2 - Confrontation



Chapter 15 Part 2: Confrontation

Ji Shuran saw Jiang Lî’s smiling look and without knowing why, she abruptly had a feeling of unease. Her intuition told her to prevent Jiang Lî from speaking further, but before she spoke, Jiang You Yao took the opportunity to open her mouth to reply: “If that’s the case, why didn’t you wear them?”

“Lî’er is already accustomed to wearing simple clothes and eating vegetarian food, she must not be used to it. Don’t mind it.” Ji Shuran hurriedly spoke. Her intuition told her that she shouldn’t let Jiang Lî reply to this, so she took the lead in obstructing.

Jiang Lî shook her head: “How is that possible? In the end, Jiang Lî is a female, how could females not like splendid clothing? It’s just …….” She regretfully shook her head, “After all, Jiang Lî hasn’t returned to the residence for seven years to see mother. There was also little communication, mother does not know Jiang Lî’s height, so when making those magnificent clothings, unexpectedly, none of them fit.”

None of them fit!

The commoners were in an uproar, based on Jiang Lî’s sentence, it didn’t matter that she hadn’t been back to the residence for seven years. But seven years with little communication, it was very likely that it wasn’t just little communication. There must not have been any communication at all, right!? Otherwise, when the mother was making clothes for her, how could she not know her daughter’s measurements. Of course it must be because since seven years ago, she simply did not know Jiang Lî’s situation, so she had no idea how tall Jiang Lî had become.

The heart was really ruthless ah. Although she had made such a big mistake, that was still their own flesh and blood ah.

The surrounding people pointed at Jiang Yuan Bai and he became gloomy though on the surface, he still remained calm and collected. However, Ji Shuran knew that Jiang Yuan Bai was already unhappy. In a moment of desperation, Ji Shuran looked at Sun momo, such a huge matter, why didn’t Sun momo send a notice while they were still on the way? Or else, with such a shrewd experience, how was it possible that she let Jiang Lî this young girl to seize such a handle?

Sun momo was also grieving in her heart. She had already given those clothes to Jiang Lî but she didn’t wear them. When Sun momo asked her why she didn’t wear them, Jiang Lî only said that she didn’t like wearing these clothes. Since that’s the case, Sun momo didn’t try to persuade her, merely thinking that Jiang Lî was just throwing a tantrum. She even thought that it would be better with this tantrum. Just wait till the time she arrived at the residence, Ji Shuran would be able to grasp her handle, making Jiang Lî eat this loss. 1

At that time, Jiang Lî only said that she didn’t like wearing them, she didn’t mention that they weren’t well fit ah! Sun momo thought back to Jiang Lî’s behavior and conducts, and it suddenly dawned on her. Since the beginning, Jiang Lî had dug a pit, waiting for madam and third miss to jump into it!

In her mind, Jiang Lî broke into laughter. She didn’t deliberately dig a hole for others. However, since this happened, then let it be. In a way, it was also considered probing. If Jiang third miss and Ji Shuran were really not fuel-saving lamps 2, naturally they would fall in it. If they were honest and sincere, then they could live together in harmony. She didn’t expect that having just arrived at the residence, each and everyone’s attitude was already testing her. Ji Shuran wasn’t really like her gentle and kind-hearted appearance, and Jiang third miss also seemed to have quite a bit of hostility towards her.

As for this cheap father, Jiang Lî wasn’t really his biological daughter. So towards his affair, she wouldn’t be disappointed. If this time it was the genuine Jiang second miss, afraid she would be discouraged since earlier.

Anyway, this Jiang family was Yanjing’s most outstanding government official great family. With the tall gates of the great family, inevitably there would be waves. This being the case, then just confront soldiers with generals and stem water with earth.3

But the current her was no longer the unskilled thatfell into the water Jiang second miss. She also wasn’t the Xue Fang Fei who could be humiliated by people and got killed. The present Jiang Lî was not afraid of anything.

You harmed me, why would you think I wouldn’t be able to harm you?

Jiang Lî smiled at Ji Shuran and spoke: “Mother, although the clothes didn’t fit, it was after all made with sincere intention, Jiang Lî doesn’t dare to forget. It’s just, having lived in the nunnery for seven years, Jiang Lî is aware not to be wasteful. Since the clothes were already made and didn’t fit, they shouldn’t stay with me.” She abruptly turned towards at Jiang You Yao who was at the side.

Ji Shuran’s heart skipped a beat, then heard Jiang Lî smilingly continued: “I see third younger sister has the precise measurements with the clothes made by mother. Why not let the clothes made by mother be given to third sister. Now that I think about it, with those design and colors, when third younger sister wears them, they must be suitable and incomparable, will look very nice.”

All color drained from Ji Shuran’s face.

The last straw that crushed the camel’s back! Perhaps from tomorrow onwards, all over Yanjing city news would spread on how Jiang family’s new madam treated the stepdaughter and her own daughter. Close and distant relatives were treated distinctly differently, just a look could tell. Jiang Lî had just returned home, yet her many years of painstaking effort to build her virtuous reputation were smashed in an instant.

What a good Jiang second miss!
