Chapter 69 Part 1: Enemies
Phew, this marks the end of the chapters owed from 2 weeks ago. From now on we will resume our normal release of Thursday and Sunday ^^. Work has been pretty busy so at the moment my wish of having a 3x release per week has to be delayed.
For those in Indonesia, Happy Independence Day!!
The next day, Jiang Li got up a bit earlier than usual.
First thing in the morning, Tong’er started comparing which hairstyle to comb and which clothes to wear. Because Baixue was from a farmer’s house, she wasn’t very good at these things. Hence everything was handed over to Tong’er.
Since returning to the Jiang family’s house, Tong’er had never been idle. In order to make Jiang Li not lacking from Jiang You Yao, she had done painstaking work.
Going out of the courtyard with ease, they ran into Jiang You Yao who was at the gate of Wan Feng Hall. She was saying something to Jiang Yuan Bai while pulling his sleeve, acting coquettishly, looking very tender and lovable.
Jiang Yuan Bai also lowered his head and was looking at Jiang You Yao very affectionately and didn’t see Jiang Li for a moment. Standing at one side, Ji Shuran had clearly glanced at Jiang Li from the corner of her eyes but she waited until Jiang Li had stepped forward before pretending to have just seen her. She smiled and said: “Li-er is here.”
Jiang Yuan Bai subconsciously looked over.
Jiang Li also looked at Jiang You Yao.
Today was a very important day. Even Tong’er was aware to plan well for Jiang Li, Ji Shuran had of course also planned well for Jiang You Yao. Jiang You Yao was wearing a dusk colored long skirt with flying birds and flowers. The outer covering was a layer of white plum cicada wing yarn which fluttered like an immortal. A pair of red jade drop earrings were hanging on her ears, the color was extremely vivid. It contrasted against her skin, making her more delicate than a flower and looked absolutely beautiful. Jiang You Yao was also seizing Jiang Li’s clothing up and down.
Nowadays, all Jiang Li’s clothes were prepared based on Ji Shuran’s instructions. After what happened at the doorway when she returned to the residence, the clothes that Ji Shuran prepared for Jiang Li, to say well-fitted they were very well-fitted, to say they were expensive, they were very expensive. But they were not suited for Jiang Li. Firstly, Jiang Li’s figure was pretty and delicate. She couldn’t support those superbly luxurious female clothes. Secondly, the head ornaments were also precious and very complicated, wearing them seemed conspicuous and heavy.
Though there wasn’t any error in the attire, standing next to Jiang You Yao would immediately reduce her to the background.
Supposed that she was the true Jiang second miss, in order to make her identity known, it’s not impossible for her to put on all these precious apparel. It’s a pity that Jiang Li wasn’t. She never really paid much emphasis on these gorgeous clothes. Moreover, she absolutely refused to serve as Jiang You Yao’s prop. As a result, she didn’t wear the clothes that Ji Shuran had prepared for her.
She only wore a green double breasted auspicious brocade short jacket and skirt. Her hair was rolled up into a bun and adorned with a single jasper hairpin. The simple attire was no longer simple, but it turned the complicated into simplicity. The eyebrows and eyes were elegant and refined, clear and exquisite. It was like an orchid deep in the valley of the mountain, quiet and uncontestedly beautiful.
Standing together with Jiang You Yao, Jiang Li wasn’t a bit inferior. On the contrary, due to Jiang You Yao looking excessively bright and beautiful, the contrasting Jiang Li’s beauty was raised high.
Jiang You Yao’s expression was a bit ugly.
Jiang Yuan Bai coughed lightly and asked Jiang Li: “are you ready?”
Jiang Li smiled and replied: “Yes.”
Everyone in the Jiang residence would go to today’s exam, including old madam Jiang. Just after they finished talking, Jiang Yu’e’s voice could be heard. Jiang Yu’e and Jiang Yu Yan walked over from the rear and smiled: “Today second sister and third sister look beautiful.”
Jiang Yu’e and Jiang Yu Yan also dressed up splendidly today. It’s just that due to third branch’s circumstances, they couldn’t compare to Jiang You Yao and Jiang Li. However, they could be considered to be dressed attentively. Jiang Yu’e looked completely excited, as usual, she moved closer to fawn over Jiang You Yao. Jiang Yu Yan was still quiet in her cowardly appearance, lowering her head and stood at one side.
“Since everything is ready, let’s set off.” With the support of Zhenzhu and Feicui, old madam Jiang spoke.
