Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 37 Part 1 - Triumph

Chapter 37 Part 1: Triumph

Jiang Li did not know what Ji Chen shi and Ji Shuran were discussing. However, she was clear that today’s matter of confronting Ji Shuran’s trap, her action, that is, the conflict with Ji Shuran, was displayed plainly in front of everyone. Judging from how Ji Shuran acted towards Jiang second miss before, Ji Shuran really wasn’t a big-hearted person. As the conflict intensified, Ji Shuran was bound to carry out more powerful methods.
Jiang Li was not afraid at all.
She used to follow Xue Huaiyuan around. When Xue Huaiyuan handled government affairs, he didn’t shield her from them, instead he occasionally discussed them with her. Jiang Li wasn’t a coward, in addition she had died once, harmed by the person who shared her bed. The current her had a kind of resolute mind of being prepared to destroy indiscriminately.
She returned to Fang Fei Garden and sat down to rest. Not even half an hour had passed when an uninvited guest came.
Jiang Jing Rui carrying a grasshopper cage unsolicitedly arrived at Fang Fei Garden to drink tea.
This second brand’s young master had a defiant temper. Both the second master, Jiang Yuang Ping, and the second madam, Lu shi, couldn’t discipline him. Only the occasional words from Jiang Yuanbai, would Jiang Jing Rui listen to one or two. However, this second young master could be regarded as quite familiar with Jiang Li.
Jiang Li invited him to sit and asked: “What are you coming here for?”
Jiang Jing Rui looked for a teacup and let Tong’er pour tea for him, not the slightest bit embarrassed. He moved his head to look at Jiang Li and said: “What you did today was very beautiful. Jiang You Yao and eldest aunt were both defeated by you. I want to clap for you.”
These words spoken in the room, Tong’er who was pouring tea at the side heard and was somewhat angry. Although this young master from the second branch seemed to not harbor hostility to her family’s miss, sometimes when looking at his attitude, he clearly didn’t attach any importance to Jiang Li and spoke as he pleased like this.
“Don’t talk nonsense.,” Jiang Li said faintly: “I was just telling the truth.”
“Why are you keeping it from me?” Jiang Jing Rui fiddled with the teacup on the table, “I won’t say it out.”
“Cousin speaks as if I am very close to you.” Jiang Li laughed.
“Cousin” when this word came out, Jiang Jing Rui’s expression changed slightly. He faced Jiang Li squarely and asked: “Jiang Li, what do you mean with this sentence?”
“Is there something wrong with what I said?”Jiang Li’s smile carried a trace of ridicule, “When I was criticized for cursing Jiang Youyao in the courtyard before, I once asked whether anyone believed me. In the entire Jiang family, Madam Liu and Tong’er believed me but as I remember, there wasn’t you, cousin.” Jiang Li said: “If I were close with cousin, no matter what, cousin would also believe me even a bit, right?! Therefore I say, I am not very close with cousin.”
Jiang Jing Rui’s face turned red in an instant, but Tong’er hearing this from the side was relieved. Of course it was like that, putting on a look of familiarity as if standing by Jiang Li’s side but at the crucial moment, he didn’t even dare to release a fart. Might as well be an outsider who was not related to each other. This kind of person, how could he be counted as an acquaintance.
Jiang Jing Rui was always a smooth talker and best at quibbling. But when he wanted to refute, he caught sight of Jiang Li’s eyes and the words that were about to spill from his mouth went down his throat and nothing could come out.
Jiang Li’s eyes were like transparent stream water, extremely clear as if they could see through all the lies in the world. Jiang Jing Rui felt somewhat embarrassed all of a sudden, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He regarded himself as having a pretty good relationship with Jiang Li, he also had reminded Jiang Li and believed that he had done his utmost. However, he didn’t foresee Jiang Li to ask him outright with the question, why didn’t you stand by my side? Jiang Li asked so calmly but on the contrary, it made him look like a vile person.
