Chapter 34 Double Eagle
It was a bit surprising to hear Yunshuang's name suddenly come out of Jiang Li's mouth.
Yun Shuang, who was in the crowd, was suddenly called. When she heard clearly what Jiang Li said, her first thought was to look at Ji Shuran's expression.
Through the crowd, Yunshuang could still feel Ji Shuran's gaze on her, as if she was staring at a dead person.
She subconsciously wanted to shake her head to deny it, but Jiang Li turned to her again, very grateful, and seemed to be appreciative, and said: "Yun Shuang reminded me before that I should be careful of Xiang Qiao. At that time, I didn't believe it. Now I think that I was too conceited. Thank you Yun Shuang." She also said to Ji Shuran: "Although mother mistakenly saw Xiang Qiao, she sent a caring Yun Shuang to my side. Jiang Li thanks mother for her painstaking efforts."
Ji Shuran forced a smile, but no one knew what she felt at the moment.
It was too late for Yunshuang to say anything now, and she couldn't refute it in front of all the guests. Xiangqiao did hide the ruby headpiece, but Yunshuang, who had been following her, dug it out and secretly placed it in Xiangqiao's room.
Most people in the world don't worry about the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth. She and Xiang Qiao were both Ji Shuran's spies around Jiang Li, but Xiang Qiao got a lot of rewards from Jiang Li just by talking. Even if they had been with Ji Shuran for more than ten years, they might not have gotten so many rewards.
Yun's eyes were red, and she was getting more and more annoyed with Xiangqiao. She overheard Tong'er and Jiang Li's plan, and knew that in order to turn the tables on Ji Shuran, Tong'er would prove in front of the guests that Xiangqiao had swapped the headgear. Yunshuang quietly put the headgear back into Xiangqiao's room.
Even so, Ji Shuran's plan would fail. So what? Even if Xiangqiao told Ji Shuran about Jiang Li's plan and Ji Shuran reorganized the plan, she was just trying to take credit, but she didn't hurt Xiangqiao at all. But if she followed Jiang Li's plan, Xiangqiao would definitely die.
A servant with ulterior motives who frames his master has no way to survive in the Jiang Mansion. Moreover, how could Xiangqiao have a good ending after she messed up the task assigned by Ji Shuran?
Everything was going smoothly until Xiang Qiao was found out. But just when it was almost over, a word from Jiang Li plunged Yun Shuang into the abyss.
Yunshuang's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.
Jiang Li's smile became more genuine. Ji Shuran was probably a suspicious person. One of her words would make her really doubt whether Yun Shuang had rebelled. After all, the seemingly foolproof thing suddenly turned around here, unless there was a traitor who informed Jiang Li.
Xiangqiao naturally wouldn't dig her own grave, so that would be Yunshuang.
At this point, the truth has been revealed. Old Madam Jiang said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Drag this girl who caused trouble in the mansion away and beat her to death with sticks!"
Xiang Qiao's eyes widened, her mouth was blocked by a cloth and she couldn't speak. She could only look to Ji Shuran for help. But at this time, why would Ji Shuran involve herself in an unclear relationship for her? She even urged her: "Hurry up, didn't you hear what your mother said?"
Xiangqiao struggled and was dragged away. The guests looked at her and felt a chill in their hearts. The Jiang family had strict rules. As expected of Jiang Yuanbo, even if he looked kind on weekdays, his methods should not be underestimated.
As Yunshuang watched, she felt a chill down her spine. She vaguely realized that she had made a huge mistake by taking advantage of the situation to frame Xiangqiao.
Jiang Li clasped her hands together and whispered "Amitabha". Everyone looked at her. She was the center of the vortex of the incident, the eye of the storm. At this moment, she lowered her head slightly, as if she couldn't bear Xiang Qiao's fate, but her profile looked even more beautiful and kind.
Madam Jiang glanced at Jiang Li with an ambiguous look, and said to Ji Shuran, "Since Xiangqiao is gone, we have to find a new maid for Li. Tomorrow, the maids in the mansion will bring people here, and let Li pick a few herself." Tong'er was moved when she heard this, and immediately said crisply, "Madam, the maids who cleaned Fangfei Garden were all arranged by Xiangqiao. Since Xiangqiao is not a good person, please dismiss those maids and pick new ones. Let Fangfei Garden be clean inside and out."
Ji Shuran's face was flushed with anger after hearing these words. A little girl dared to accuse her. However, no matter how angry she was, she didn't show it on her face.
Madam Jiang said, "As you say."
Ji Shuran hurriedly said yes, and smiled at Jiang Li, "It was because of my mother's poor judgment of people that she almost made a big mistake. How about this, Yunshuang should come back to me, Li'er, you can choose your personal maid yourself tomorrow, is that okay?"
Jiang Li showed a slightly regretful expression: "I thought Yun Shuang was pretty good, so why not keep her by my side, but what mother said makes sense, so I'll just listen to her."
Yunshuang was frightened when she heard Jiang Li talking. Jiang Li's words were pushing her into the fire pit! Ji Shuran had already become suspicious of her, and keeping her by her side was nothing more than torture. But Jiang Li added fuel to the fire!
"I have made a fool of myself today," Old Madam Jiang said in a deep voice when she saw that the matter had been dealt with. "I have failed to discipline my servants in the Jiang Mansion, and such a ridiculous thing has occurred. I have disturbed your interest. I apologize to you on behalf of the whole Jiang Mansion."
The guests said they dared not to, and Jiang Yuanbo said, "I will invite you all to gather together another day."
The people who came to watch the coming-of-age ceremony today saw such a good show, but also gained a lot. However, Jiang Youyao, who should have been the protagonist, was slightly ignored.
Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother were led out by the Jiang family's servants. Shen Ruyun couldn't help but whisper to Shen's mother: "I think the Third Miss Jiang is just so-so, but the Second Miss Jiang is a powerful one. She turned the situation around with just a few words. I'm afraid she is very scheming."
Shen Ruyun hates Jiang Youyao because she is Zhou Bangyan's fiancée. Jiang Li turned the situation around today. On the surface, she punished Xiang Qiao, but in fact, she also offended Ji Shuran and made Jiang Youyao lose face. Jiang Li made Jiang Youyao lose her composure, and Shen Ruyun was happy to see it happen. However, this does not mean that Shen Ruyun likes Jiang Li. For Shen Ruyun, if Jiang Youyao did not replace Jiang Li, Zhou Yanbang's fiancée should be Jiang Li now.
They are all love rivals, equally annoying.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard someone beside them calling out, "Young lady." Shen Ruyun and her mother turned around and saw two people walking towards them. They were the Second Miss Jiang who had just made a big splash and her maid Tong'er.
Miss Jiang Er also saw them, paused slightly, smiled and nodded at them, then walked away.
We weren't familiar with each other, so it wasn't considered rude.
But at that moment, Shen Ruyun suddenly felt that the way Miss Jiang Er smiled and nodded at her looked very familiar.
Where have you seen it?
