Chapter 53 Come to the door
Jiang Youyao didn't expect that Jiang Li's last sentence would be directed at her. She naturally heard the hidden meaning and almost jumped in anger, but she had to hold it back.
Jiang Yu'e was not as calm as Jiang Youyao. She was already dissatisfied with Jiang Li, and she did not see the approval of Jiang Li's words from Mrs. Jiang. She just said, "We are girls. We should be careful about what we say and do. Second sister is chivalrous, but it is not good for a woman to interfere in a man's affairs in the street. It is a loss of morality."
Ji Shuran thought to herself that it was bad. Sure enough, when Jiang Yu'e said this, Madam Jiang showed a look of suspicion. She stared at Jiang Yu'e and said, "Oh? Does it mean that being indifferent to others and not helping others mean that you have no moral faults? I think you have memorized your family motto somewhere else!"
Jiang Yu'e was stunned. She didn't expect that Madam Jiang would suddenly attack her. She felt ashamed and wronged, but she didn't dare to argue with Madam Jiang. She just lowered her head and dared not say a word. She hated Jiang Li in her heart.
Ji Shuran was also angry. Although Madam Jiang said that she was indifferent to Jiang Yu'e, she also scolded Jiang Youyao. She was unhappy, but she still tried to comfort her: "Don't be angry, mother. The children are young and it is normal for them to be at a loss when they encounter such a thing. After all, Yu'e and Youyao have never experienced such a thing. Li'er is brave and resourceful." She smiled and looked at Jiang Li: "Dare to stand up."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Just follow your heart."
She just acted on her own conscience, and stepped on others without leaving any trace, as if she was so noble. Ji Shuran's smile was also a little unnatural.
Madam Jiang added, "Since he is a relative, I don't know when the Ye family's child arrived in Yanjing City. Do you know where he lives? It would be nice to invite him to your house someday."
Ji Shuran was a little surprised, and then she became even more angry. After all, Ye Zhenzhen had been dead for many years, and the Jiang family and the Ye family had not been in contact for a long time. Now that Jiang Li had such a coincidence, Old Madam Jiang suddenly wanted to reconcile with the Ye family. What did this mean? But if the Ye family and the Jiang family reconciled, where would the Ji family's face be?
"It was a rush at the time, and I left after the matter was resolved. I didn't say a word to my cousin from the Ye family, so I don't know much about it." Jiang Li said.
Hearing this, Madam Jiang felt a little regretful, but Ji Shuran was relieved. Then her brows furrowed again. If the Jiang family really wanted to find someone in Yanjing City, how difficult would it be? If the old lady was determined to meet Ye Shijie, even if Jiang Li didn't know Ye Shijie's situation, it would only be a matter of time before she found Ye Shijie.
At this moment, Jiang Bingji, who was playing on the bed, said in a long voice: "Mom, I'm hungry."
Old Madam Jiang came back to her senses then. She glanced at Jiang Bingji and said to Ji Shuran, "Take Brother Ji to dinner." She then said to Jiang Li and the others, "You haven't had dinner yet since school ended. Go back. Let's just forget about this matter and don't mention it again." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes, as if she was tired and needed to rest.
Jade and Pearl were busy seeing the guests off.
After leaving Wanfeng Hall together, Ji Shuran took Jiang Bingji and the unwilling Jiang Youyao away. Jiang Li was about to go to Fangfei Garden, but she saw Jiang Yu'e staring at her and sneered, saying, "Second sister is really capable. She made grandma dizzy with just a few words and didn't mention anything."
Jiang Li continued to smile: "Thank you for the compliment, fourth sister." Her words were sincere and her smile was very kind, as if she didn't hear Jiang Yu'e's sarcasm, which made Jiang Yu'e very angry.
Seeing that Jiang Yu'e was choked and speechless, Jiang Li took Bai Xue away leisurely. Behind her, Jiang Yuyan timidly pulled Jiang Yu'e's sleeve and whispered, "Don't always cause trouble for my second sister."
"Go away!" Jiang Yu'e flicked her sleeves and broke away from Jiang Yuyan's hand. A trace of contempt flashed across her eyes: "How could I have a sister as cowardly as you? It's so cowardly!" She walked away angrily.
Jiang Yuyan lowered her head and stood there in silence, not knowing what she was thinking. …
Jiang Li and the other returned to Fangfei Garden. Tong'er was relieved to see that there was no finger mark on them. She scolded the tall, dark and strong Jiang Youyao and the others in the yard. Then she sat down on a chair and said, "Miss, why did the old lady suddenly mention the young master of the Ye family? Is she going to reconcile with the Ye family?"
Tong'er didn't follow Jiang Li right after she was born. Before Jiang Li went to the family temple, Tong'er wasn't even a second-class maid, so she didn't know much about the Ye family. She didn't even know why the relationship between the Ye and Jiang families was cold, and why Jiang Li didn't associate with the Ye family.
"I don't know either." Jiang Li shook her head. "But I think the old lady just mentioned it casually. If she really wanted to know, she would have asked someone to find out more. But in the end, it was clear that the old lady didn't mean to do so."
Tong'er thought for a while and sighed, "If the old lady really wants to reconcile with the Ye family, it would be great. After all, the young lady still has the protection of her maternal family. The Ji family should also be more restrained on a daily basis."
Ji Shuran's position in the first house was as stable as Mount Tai, not only because Ji Shuran gave birth to a pair of children, but also because of the support of the Ji family. Not to mention Ji Shuran's father Ji Yanlin, even Ji Shuran's sister, the current Lipin, was the favorite of Emperor Hong Xiao.
Jiang Li only has a dead biological mother and her maternal grandparents who she has not been in contact with for a long time. In the Jiang family, she has no other means to rely on except to block the sword with her own strength. This means that she will have a hard time.
This is the difference between having someone to support you and not having someone to support you.
"It would have been better if I had asked Young Master Ye where he lives now." Tong'er was still unwilling to give up: "Maybe I can establish a good relationship with Xiangyang through Young Master Ye."
"Nothing." Jiang Li said, "There is a chance now."
Bai Xue asked in a muffled voice, "Didn't the young lady ask about the recent situation of the young master of the Ye family?"
"I don't need to ask," Jiang Li smiled and shook her head, "He will come to me on his own."
Tong'er and Bai Xue looked at each other, seemingly not believing Jiang Li's words. But no one expected that Jiang Li's words would come true the next day.
Ye Shijie, the cousin of the Ye family in Xiangyang and Jiang Li's nominal elder cousin, came to the door on his own initiative.
