Chapter 36 Consultation
Jiang Li looked at the two people opposite her.

Jiang Youyao and Zhou Yanbang were very close to each other. Their marriage was known to the whole city of Yanjing, and it was understandable for engaged couples to be a little intimate. But Zhou Yanbang looked a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Youyao spoke innocently again: "Second sister, you were talking so attentively just now, why didn't you continue talking after I came?"

"I didn't say anything," Jiang Li said, "I just met the prince by chance. I just said hello and you're here." Jiang Li smiled and said, "Since my third sister is here, I'll get along well with the prince. I'll go back first." After that, she left with Tong'er without waiting for Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao to reply.

Zhou Yanbang couldn't help but look at Jiang Li's back as she left. Seeing this, Jiang Youyao gritted her teeth secretly.

On the way back, Tong'er whispered to Jiang Li: "Miss, you'd better not bother with Prince Zhou."

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing that Jiang Li was not angry, Tong'er became bolder and said, "Although the young lady was engaged to Zhou Shizi before, the one engaged to Zhou Shizi has now become the third young lady. Now that the young lady is back, the master will not change the engagement. Marriage is not a joke. If we change our minds again and again, our Jiang family will become a laughing stock in Yanjing City. The master will definitely not let this happen."

"Secondly," Tong'er said while sizing up Jiang Li's face, "Prince Zhou's expression towards the young lady just now was too warm. He is now the third young lady's fiancé, but not only does he not pay attention to his identity, but he also behaves like this. It is obvious that he is not a good match, young lady..."

"I know." Jiang Li smiled and said, "Of course I know he is not a good match. But our Tong'er can think of so many things, which really makes me look at him with new eyes."

Tong'er is a carefree little girl. Apart from being loyal, she doesn't seem to be anything special. I didn't expect that she is so meticulous and not blinded by the immediate interests. Jiang Li likes her very much.

When Tong'er heard Jiang Li praising her, she also smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. Our girl is the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. Not to mention the Ningyuan Marquis's son, she can even be a princess. We can slowly choose a good husband and a good match in the future."

Jiang Li laughed when she heard this. Tong'er was still too naive after all. She didn't know that people's words were scary. Her previous crime of murdering her stepmother was enough to make her unpopular in Yanjing City. Otherwise, Jiang Yuanbai would not have sent her to the nunnery because he knew that Miss Jiang Er would not live a better life in Yanjing City.

However, she has no plans to get married in this life anyway.

……

At the same time, in Shuxiu Garden, Ji and Ji Chen were talking.

The guests have all left. Jiang Youyao's coming-of-age ceremony today was a complete mess. Others would only say that she, the mistress of the house, was incompetent and the backyard was not in good order.

The look in Jiang Yuanbai's eyes when he was leaving made Ji Shi very angry. Jiang Yuanbai was clearly blaming her. She had wanted to punish Jiang Li, but she didn't expect Jiang Li to withdraw and even killed her maid Xiangqiao. That would be fine, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the twists and turns in today's incident. Those ladies love to talk about other people's affairs in the backyard, and the smart ones will definitely see the strangeness.

Ji Shuran was not afraid of others noticing something strange. As the mistress of the house, who would be clean without any tricks? But she used tricks and still lost. She lost both her wife and her army. If she told others about this, people would probably laugh at her. She was admitting that she was not as skilled as others and lost to a little girl.

Ji Shuran was proud and arrogant. When she came back, she was so angry that she smashed all the vases and pots in the yard.

Ji Chen comforted her, "What are you doing? If someone sees you like this, they will say you can't keep your composure. How can you behave like the wife of the Prime Minister?"

"Sister, I just can't swallow this." Ji Shuran said angrily: "Jiang Li, that little bitch is really too evil! She is about the same age as Youyao, but she has so many tricks. You also saw what happened this time, how could she have such a mind!"

Ji Chen said, "She is indeed not a simple person, so don't panic." Ji Chen ordered the maid to close the door and said, "Right now, you are the one who makes the decisions in the main room of the Jiang Mansion. Don't forget that you gave birth to a pair of children for Jiang Yuanbai, and Jiang Yuanbai's heart is biased towards you. Jiang Li is a neglected daughter, and has anyone in the Jiang Mansion really treated her as a lady? It's easy for you to deal with her, but you must remember to take it slow and don't let anyone catch you. Look at Xiangqiao this time, she almost got into trouble."

Ji Shuran slowly calmed down and said, "I know."

Yunshuang has been taken away. Jiang Li's words finally made Ji Shuran suspicious, although Yunshuang also explained that it was jealousy with Xiangqiao that led to the current situation. But whether it is true or not, Yunshuang caused Ji Shuran to fail. She made such a mistake and cannot be kept alive. As for what means she used, if others ask, they will only say that Yunshuang couldn't stand Xiangqiao's death and packed up her things and returned to her hometown.

"It's that Madam Liu," Ji Chen's face turned gloomy, "She has been against my Ji family time and again. Dad told me last time that Liu Yuanfeng had reported him again. Liu Yuanfeng is so ungrateful, and now Madam Liu is against us again and again, which is really annoying."

"It's really annoying." Ji Shuran followed up, "If she hadn't been so nosy, how could Jiang Li have had the chance to return to Yanjing!"

"It's nothing," Ji Chen said coldly, "The Liu family dared to go against our Ji family, so they will suffer the consequences. The most urgent thing is you," Ji Chen reminded Ji Shuran, "You have made Jiang Yuanbo angry this time, so you must comfort her. As for Jiang Li, there is no need to worry, just find a way. Anyway, she is under your nose, don't forget that her lifelong affairs are still in your hands. If you want to trip her up, isn't it easy?"

Ji Shuran nodded: "You make sense."

As she was talking, someone suddenly ran in. It was Jiang Youyao. She looked angry and her facial features were distorted. Seeing that Ji Chen and Ji Shuran were there, she ignored everything else and said, "Mother, aunt, Jiang Li, that little vixen, actually seduced Zhou Shizi in front of me. She has no shame. You must teach her a lesson for me!"

"How dare she?" Ji Shuran stood up suddenly.

"She just dared to do that." Jiang Youyao felt very aggrieved. "Mother, she doesn't take us seriously at all, how can we tolerate it? Mother, you must vent my anger for me!"
