Chapter 51 Complaint
The people around who were eager to watch the fun were waiting with great interest to see what kind of confusing lawsuit would happen next, but they did not expect Jiang Li to suddenly say such a thing.

"Okay." Liu Zimin was afraid that Jiang Li would go back on her word, so he agreed immediately. Although he agreed, he still tried to save some face, so he said to Ye Shijie: "Mr. Ye, I was deceived by you and this painting led to this misunderstanding. Although you tore up my painting, I will not bother with you. Forget about the twenty taels of silver. Today, for the sake of Miss Jiang Er, this matter will be over. This painting is for you. I don't want it anymore."

Hearing the sighs from the crowd, Liu Zimin suppressed the shame and resentment in his heart, bowed to Jiang Li, and left pretending to be calm.

The two students who followed him also walked away in disgrace. Ye Shijie did not stop them, probably because he knew that he would not gain anything if he insisted on arguing. Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li inquiringly, and was about to speak, but saw Jiang Li nodded slightly to him, and then said to Bai Xue beside him: "Bai Xue, return the painting to Mr. Ye, and go back."

Bai Xue responded in a deep voice, rolled up the fake "Birds Drinking in Spring" in her hand and handed it to Ye Shijie, then turned around to help Jiang Li go to the carriage on the other side, with no intention of talking to Ye Shijie any more.

Ye Shijie stared blankly at the master and servant getting on the carriage and driving away. The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. He couldn't help but shook his head, put aside all the thoughts in his mind, and walked away to the other end of the street.

However, no one noticed that in the alley not far from the street, there was a black phoenix sedan chair parked. Outside the sedan chair, guards were talking. If someone passed by at this moment, they would find that what this person was talking about was the incident between Ye Shijie and Liu Zimin just now.

After he finished speaking, a long time later, a voice was heard from the sedan chair.

"understood."

The young man in the sedan leaned against the window, looking lazy, his red clothes covering the soft couch, his expression subtle: "Jiang Family."

Opposite him, the scholar in blue stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "I wanted to use the Liu family's child to trap Ye Shijie and force the Ye family to intervene. I didn't expect that Miss Jiang Er would help Ye Shijie out of trouble. As a result, my lord's plan was completely messed up."

Although he said regretful words, his expression did not show any regret at all. Instead, he seemed relaxed.

"Ye Shijie is just a pawn," Ji Heng brushed off the dust on his sleeves and said, "He won't be of much use. If he's lost, he's lost. There's no rush." ​​His features were distinctly beautiful, but his voice had a strange low hoarseness, like a vague desire that made people unable to stop.

"Besides, compared to Liu Zimin," he curled his lips slowly, "Miss Jiang Er is much more interesting."

……

Bai Xue and Jiang Li returned to the Jiang Mansion.

In Fangfei Garden, Tong'er had been waiting in the yard for a long time. Jiang Li was not there, so Tong'er felt uncomfortable doing anything. When she saw the two of them coming back, she jumped three feet high and kept asking Jiang Li how she was doing and whether she had encountered any trouble.

Bai Xue is a simple and honest person, not as lively as Tong Er. For example, regarding Ye Shijie, she just obeyed Jiang Li's orders without saying a word.

Tong'er heard from Bai Xue about the trouble Jiang Li encountered after school. She was so shocked that she almost dropped the cup and kept shouting: "Oh my God!" "How hateful!" "How can you bully people like this?" "Fortunately, the girl is fine."

After Bai Xue told her everything, Tong'er scratched her ears with a lingering feeling. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Young lady, this time you were in too much danger. Although you have good intentions, you'd better not show up casually next time. You didn't even bring a single guard with you today. If the young master of the Liu family really starts a fight, you'll be the one who suffers."

Jiang Li smiled but didn't say anything. Tong'er said, "But Bai Xue said that Mr. Ye is from the Ye family in Xiangyang. Isn't he from the girl's maternal grandparents' family? It's a pity that the girl didn't talk to him at that time, and it's really not the right place to talk, otherwise she might know which branch of the Ye family the man is from. This time the girl helped him, and he will be grateful." "I didn't save him to ask for his reward. If it was for a reward, I might as well not save him." Jiang Li smiled. Seeing injustice on the road and drawing a sword to help is Xue Zhao's consistent principle. The children of the Xue family are all chivalrous and brave. When they encounter injustice in the world, they always want to step forward to help. Although she died once, she also found many excuses for herself when she came forward today, but Jiang Li knew in her heart that if there were no such reasons, she would probably still come forward.

This is human nature.

As they were talking, Qingfeng from outside opened the door curtain and came in, saying, "Young lady, Sister Feicui from Wanfeng Hall just sent someone to say that the old lady wants you to come over."

"Now?" Jiang Li was surprised. This was not the time to pay respects.

"The third young lady and a few others were also in Wanfeng Hall. They said that the young lady had an argument with others after school today." Qingfeng said uneasily.

"Oh, she's really quick to complain!" Tong'er was filled with righteous indignation, "Our girl just likes to help others, how dare she say that she quarreled with others!"

Since Tong'er returned to Jiang's house, her temper has become more and more aggressive, but Jiang Li likes her temper. The people of Fangfeiyuan have a very delicate status in Jiang's house. If they don't say anything and there is no aggressive person to hold up the place, others will really bully them.

Jiang Li stood up: "Nothing, she took the initiative to tell the old lady, which saved me the trouble."

Bai Xue rubbed her hands together, looking like she was going to fight, and said aggressively: "Miss, I will go with you."

"Okay." Jiang Li smiled and said, "But don't fight. We are going there to reason."

There was silence in Wanfeng Hall at this moment.

Jiang Bingji sat on the couch of Mrs. Jiang, picking up the candy from the plate. But Mrs. Jiang did not smile and coax him as usual, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Jiang Yuyan sat aside, cautiously not unbuttoning her clothes. Jiang Yu'e and Jiang Youyao sat together, Jiang Youyao looked a little proud, but Jiang Yu'e's eyes kept rolling.

Ji Shuran was there too. She sat next to Old Madam Jiang with a gentle smile on her face. She seemed a little worried. She kept looking towards the door, as if she was waiting for someone.

Not long after, the person she was waiting for arrived.

When Jiang Li and Tong'er arrived at Wanfeng Hall, Jiang Bingji seemed to want to curse loudly as soon as he saw her, but suddenly he remembered something and swallowed it back.

Jiang Li just pretended not to see this scene, and walked in with a smile. She stood in the hall, looked at the old lady on the bed, and asked softly, "Why did grandma ask someone to call Jiang Li here?"

Old Madam Jiang raised her eyelids and looked at her.
