MARRIAGE OF THE DI DAUGHTER

Chapter 96 Part 3



Chapter 96 Part 3: Ye Third

Jiang Li turned around and walked towards the front hall.

Tong’er asked: “Miss, then we are not going to stroll outside?”

“No.” Jiang Li said with a smile. Strolling outside was to find out what happened to the Ye family. Since third master Ye had already returned home, then they did not have to go out. They could find out from the third master Ye.

It seemed that the third master Ye was someone who’s easy to talk to.

……

Jiang Li sat in the front hall and Bai Xue boiled a pot of tea. Ye Ming Yu had not yet come but Jiang Li wasn’t worried and waited patiently.

Her patience was always very good, this bit, even the lower people of the Ye family who were tasked in serving her also knew. No matter waiting for how long, Jiang Li always had a tranquil and gentle look without any trace of impatience. It’s very rare for a girl at such a young age. There wasn’t the arrogance and willfulness of an honorable daughter in her body, instead, she was simple and easygoing, just like a daughter from the next-door neighbor.

However, even if it was a daughter from the next-door neighbor, it was still an outsider whose innermost thought could not be understood.

After an unknown period of time, Ye Ming Yu finally came.

Once he saw Jiang Li, his eyes immediately lit up. He laughed openly and said: “I thought you’d left. How, did you wait for a long time?”

“Not long.” Jiang Li also smiled, “I haven’t yet finished a cup of tea.”

Ye Ming Yu sat across from Jiang Li. His bottom just touched the seat, before he even sat properly, he straightaway asked in a hurry: “Ah Li, I just returned from outside and did not know what happened. How did you suddenly return to Xiangyang?”

“I’ve said it before,” Jiang Li said helplessly. “I want to go back and look at grandmother, so I went back together with uncle Ming Xuan.”

“But you haven’t seen the old madam until now?” Ye Ming Yu said.

“It’s not that I don’t want to see grandmother, uncle Ming Hui and uncle Ming Xuan said that the old madam’s health is not good. The timing is not right and if hastily meeting her without careful consideration, she might get angry and injure her body. I’ve arrived in Xiangyang for almost half a month but have not found a suitable opportunity.”

After listening to Jiang Li, Ye Ming Yu showed awkwardness on his face. He naturally had heard the actual meaning of Jiang Li’s words. It was the Ye family members who blocked and did not allow her to meet old madam Ye, it really wasn’t because Jiang Li was unwilling. Although Ye Ming Yu wasn’t in Xiangyang during the affair of that year, he had also heard about it afterwards. He also knew the Ye family members were distancing themselves from Jiang Li. Jiang Li abruptly returned to Xiangyang, the Ye family must not have welcomed her with enthusiasm.

However, Ye Ming Yu also could not act on his own initiative and let Jiang Li meet with old madam Ye at this time.

He indistinctly changed the subject and said: “So it’s like that.”

Jiang Li smiled and said: “Uncle Ming Yu has worked hard this time.”

Ye Ming Yu smiled back and said: “Where did I work hard? I’m just going out on a scenic tour.”

Ye Ming Yu’s so-called “sea trade” was actually not making much profit for the Ye family. The Ye family was also too lazy to restrain him. Saying that he was doing business, but it was truly going on a scenic tour. Because he was too playful, although Ye Zhen Zhen’s age was the same as Ye Ming Yu; Jiang Li, her daughter, was already 15 years old while he had not yet married.

This was the anxiety in old madam Ye’s heart and every year during the new year when Ye Ming Yu returned to Xiangyang, old madam Ye would stretch the net, trying to find him a good lady. Ye Ming Yu would quickly hide, and when the new year passed, he would immediately be on his way, high as the mountain and long as the river, he slipped away.

“Though it’s said like that, not everyone had this kind of courage to go on a scenic tour.” Jiang Li laughed, “not constrained to the secular world, doing as one pleases; a person living, isn’t it to seek happiness? To experience for oneself the different mountains and rivers, opening up the scope of one’s eyes, is even more free than a person who stays inside the inner house all day long.”

Ye Ming Yu froze after he heard her. In a moment, his heart was moved emotionally, nearly wanting to treat Jiang Li as his soul mate. Everybody who knew him all believed that he was acting willfully, making trouble. He, as the offspring of the Ye family, had endless family properties, but did not properly stay at home to manage them, take a wife and had children. Instead, he insisted on traveling around the country, going on a scenic tour, simply not attending to his proper duties. But he, from the crack of his bone, never liked settling down, preferring to go on adventures and increase his first-hand knowledge. Just like a male eagle, must not be confined under the roof or a fierce horse, must not be tied up in the stable.

However, the person who understood him in the Ye family was only Ye Zhen Zhen. Perhaps it was because their blood was linked together, due to Ye Zhen Zhen’s understanding in those years, towards Jiang Li, Ye Ming Yu could not bear to be estranged. But afterwards, Ye Zhen Zhen passed away and there was no longer anyone who understood him.

Unexpectedly, here, Jiang Li once again said something similar to Ye Zhen Zhen.

Ye Ming Yu could not help feeling nostalgic. Everyone said Ye Zhen Zhen was simple and honest, without scheming, yet clever. But Ye Ming Yu’s thought was, precisely because Ye Zhen Zhen was such a warm and generous person that she could comprehend the simple truth. With careful look, Jiang Li’s appearance was not the same as Ye Zhen Zhen. Compared with Ye Zhen Zhen’s soft and round look, Jiang Li was much more delicate and pretty. She resembled Jiang Yuan Bai, clear and beautiful, and also clever.

But in the end, she was also Ye Zhen Zhen’s daughter.
